This activist PROVES the far-left has lost SENSE OF REALITY

The far-left TRULY has lost all sense of reality, and UC Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges just proved it. During a U.S. Senate hearing this week called ‘Abortion Access and The Law,’ Bridges made some OUTLANDISH claims about Sen. Josh Hawley during his questioning. But Glenn and the guys discuss how the worst part of the exchange is Bridges' arrogance throughout it all — which, Glenn explains, actually may be the left’s flaw that ultimately causes their defeat…

GLENN: Did you guys hear the testimony yesterday, on -- on, you know, who can give birth. Abortion testimony, from -- from -- holy cow. Let me see -- yeah. We have it?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: This is from yesterday's -- yesterday's hearing. It's a law professor, from UC Berkeley. And she's talking to Josh Hawley, and he's -- he's asking about, can men get pregnant? Listen to this.

VOICE: You've referred to people with a capacity for pregnancy. Would that be women?

VOICE: Many women, cis women have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy, as well as nonbinary who are capable of pregnancy.

VOICE: So this isn't really a women's rights issue.

VOICE: We can recognize that this impacts women, while also recognizing that it impacts other groups. Those things are not mutually exclusive, Senator Hawley.

VOICE: All right. So your view is that the core of this -- this right then is about, what?

VOICE: So I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic, and it opens up trans people to violence, by not recognizing that --

VOICE: I'm opening people up to violence, by asking whether or not women are the folks who can have pregnancies?

VOICE: So I want to note that one out of five trans gender persons have attempted suicide. So I think it's important --

VOICE: Because of my line of questioning? So we can't talk about it?

VOICE: Because denying that trans people do exist, and pretending not to know they exist.

VOICE: I'm denying that trans people exist by asking you if you're talking about --

VOICE: Are you? Are you?

VOICE: -- women having pregnancies.

STU: Oh, my God.

PAT: That's agonizing.

STU: It's like a religious detection to being stupid.

PAT: Yeah. It is. Yeah, it is.

STU: I wish they would be dedicated to something some other pursuit. What is this?

We all know, what we're talking about. She's acting as if Josh Hawley asking if this is a woman's rights issue is causing suicides. It's insanity.

PAT: So ridiculous.

STU: No person -- no human being could possibly believe that. Yet, there she is, blurting it out. And acting super confident, like she's got a big Twitter zinger she's about to post. It's amazing.

PAT: They have completely abandoned reality.

GLENN: You know what is crazy is, absolutely abandoned reality. And they plant their flag in that invisible universe.

And they're standing on no ground whatsoever. And they're like, yeah. That's right. People can fly.

People can't fly. Are you saying that people who just jump off of buildings, can't fly. You know, people are committing suicide, because of your denial that people can fly. What are you talking about?

STU: No. The suicide is that they keep jumping off of buildings. That's the problem.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. She went on. Here she is. On the value of an unborn baby.

VOICE: You think a baby that is delivered alive, has value?

VOICE: Yes.

VOICE: Do you think a a baby that is not yet born, has value?

VOICE: I believe that a person with a capacity for pregnancy, has value. They have intelligence. They have agency. They have abilities.

VOICE: You said the baby.

VOICE: And I'm talking about the person with the capacity --

VOICE: I'm answering a more interesting question to me.

STU: That's not how this works, dear.

VOICE: You think a baby who is not yet born, let's say a day before this mother delivers. Do you think that baby has value?

VOICE: I think that the person with the capacity for pregnancy has value, and they have the -- they should have the ability to control what happens to their lives.

PAT: Wow. Unreal.

GLENN: Can you imagine? Can you even mangle, in her -- in her classroom, if you wrote a paper. And you said, and they said, you know, I want it to be about abortion, whatever.

And you talked about giraffes. And they -- you turned the paper, and it's all about giraffes. And she would say, well, that's not the topic, that we were talking about. I know. But this is a more interesting paper.

Do you think -- do you think they would accept that?

STU: This person is convinced that she's about 100 times smarter than she is, that's what's fascinating to me about that clip more than anything.

Because she's so arrogant. Super confident. And it's interesting, we played -- look, we do this all the time. Right? We play clips of liberals looking stupid, and answering questions in dumb ways, and getting caught in their ridiculous logic.

We do that all the time. It's a fun part of the show. What's interesting about this clip in particular though, it's going -- it's going viral on the left too, as if she won.

Like as if this was a good moment.

PAT: My gosh.

STU: For her. As it -- because she's so confident.

PAT: Are you kidding me?

STU: And going back at those -- those.

GLENN: On the right, who aren't acknowledging trans people or whatever they're saying. Like, no person who is connected to reality, could possibly think she won these arguments. She's just completely. She's talking around it with, like, language tricks, to try to deny the reality of the situation. When it's so plainly obvious to any person who has ever lived on this earth, that he's right. But we're still going to act like she's right, because she said it with confidence.

GLENN: So you don't -- you don't come out and say things like this, and be this arrogant your first time. You know, your first time, and you're like, hey. Women and children can -- men can be pregnant as well.

The first time that was ever uttered, outside of university, it was most likely uttered like, now hear me out. Hear me out. These people are in their own circles. So tight, where there is no dissent. That it gives her the arrogance to look down her nose, at anyone who thinks differently. And they all -- I can guarantee you, she left that hearing, and the people around her went, you killed them. You killed them.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because all of the people around her, are of groupthink.

Nobody is looking, did you advance the ball at all?

Did you convince anyone?

No. I just told them off. Because they're too stupid.

STU: Yeah. And, Glenn, what you described there, I would argue is our greatest hope.

The fact that they are so far in in these circles. And are so convinced they're right, of just nonsense. That any average person can decipher and think is insane, is the best thing that's happened in conservatism, in 50 years.

PAT: And if Republicans use this, in November, they will win.

They will -- I would use this --

STU: It's the only way to beat this. They have all the institutions. They have all the power. They have the media. They have all these things. But the fact that they're so confident. And so overstepping reality, is the only thing, we have on our side. The only thing we have is the truth.

GLENN: So do you remember when we would gather every morning, when we were in New York, and we would get down on our knees, and we would pray every day. And we were so worried about things. And we prayed and prayed on, okay.

Can you throw us a lifeline here? Where are we going? And do you remember the answer? Do you remember the answer I got? In their arrogance.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: They will fail. And they weren't arrogant at that point. And that's why I tried to kind of goad them. Remember I went on the -- and I said, they want to tell you. They want to tell you that they're Marxists. They can't wait to tell you.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: I was hoping to goad them into that. It didn't work. But look at -- look at where they are.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: We're doing a special tonight. Yeah. We're doing a special tonight on the -- on the planning that is going on now. The Women's March training that is going on right now. We have behind the scenes video of it.

We had somebody go in, and take the training with them.

And it's pretty powerful. But we're looking at all the people, who are behind all of the things that you are seeing.

It's no longer hard to find. You know -- it used to be, well, that person was in the room, with this person. And this person is a communist.

And so it was always at least 1 degree of separation. Now it is full-on. Full-on. I think we have video tonight, showing you the -- Ocasio-Cortez, being handled at a rally by the Communist Party.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: I mean, they don't care anymore. They just don't care.

PAT: No.

GLENN: And I -- I don't think Americans are down with all of this. I just don't. Again, for the third time, already this morning. Maybe it's just me.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
