00:03:50.600
know even old cassettes and photographs that have been sitting there for decades and the funny thing
00:03:54.860
about a time machine is it doesn't do any good if it just sits there you know it just sits in the
00:03:59.920
dark you gotta bring it to life legacy box is the way to bring all of that history back to life they

00:04:43.080
legacybox.com slash records do it now all right that's a couple of things we have to we have to
00:04:51.740
go through first of all you know the number one search today what's trending on google is cashless
00:04:57.300
bail what is cashless bail cashless bail is when somebody is arrested and charged with a crime
00:05:03.200
they may be released before trial if they can pay bail okay that is the financial guarantee that
00:05:11.080
you're actually going to show up in court cashless bail removes money from the equation so instead
00:05:17.060
a judge decides to release you know a release is based on other factors the severity of the crime
00:05:22.880
the person's criminal history whether they pose a risk to the public or if they're going to
00:05:27.160
you know leave so there is no cash you get bail without any cash that's that's easy now some people
00:05:34.660
are saying you know there shouldn't be justice shouldn't be for sale it's not safety is what
00:05:39.880
everybody's worried about not justice and uh you know the left sees cashless bail is a step towards
00:05:45.940
you know fairness you know i who i i tend to look at it as uh you're just letting the person out just
00:05:52.580
letting the person out i mean i don't i'm not for excessive bail that's in the constitution you cannot
00:05:58.340
have excessive bail i think this is the exact opposite of six of uh excessive bail you know this is
00:06:06.260
no bail and there's some there's some things that are tried and true and have been going on for a
00:06:11.600
long long time that prove uh to show results when you're trying to stop crime bail is one of them
00:06:18.760
uh excessive bail is a sign of real problems in a society no bail i believe is a problem of real uh
00:06:26.980
a real problem in in societies ours in particular so that's what cashless bail is let me get that off the
00:06:33.480
plate okay i want to talk about the uh defense department now maybe being the department of war
00:06:42.040
you know trump is trump is he's just non-stop he just doesn't stop every day it's like i've heard
00:06:54.340
it described by some people as christmas every morning you wake up and you're like what's under the
00:06:58.360
tree today sometimes it is coal sometimes it's not sometimes it's a new bike that you've been
00:07:05.340
waiting for forever um but every day he is got something else underneath the tree for us to open
00:07:11.720
up um there's a couple today that uh need to be opened and discussed and one of them is the
00:07:20.560
department of defense or the department of war and when i first heard this i thought i don't know how i
00:07:25.600
feel about that because i i want to be defensive i don't want war i who wants war war is so icky and
00:07:31.240
so scary i don't want war okay for the first 158 years of our republic that's what it was it was the
00:07:38.760
department of war why because we were off again on again we didn't have this big department of defense
00:07:45.200
we didn't have a standing army when we had to go to war we just got everybody together and say bring
00:07:50.980
your guns in and we had a you know department of war that would open up and uh we could fight that
00:07:57.480
war then we would send everybody home we had that during you know revolutionary war the war of 1812
00:08:04.180
the trenches of of france the beaches of normandy all of them what changed well harry truman came into
00:08:12.500
office in 1947 and it was you know the most destructive war of all time but the but the war that would
00:08:20.160
change everything and truman recognized that we had to have a standing uh army well americans were
00:08:29.760
against that they didn't want a standing army um you know we were we were like well wait wait wait
00:08:34.880
what because it was such a huge change and so truman convinced everybody that we had to have a standing
00:08:44.100
army because of now the bomb and and everything else so he established the military
00:08:49.600
uh and within two years it was called the department of defense okay why did he do that
00:08:56.660
was that an act of political correctness you know before we had a term you know for that
00:09:01.760
was it meant to sue the war weary public remember we had been through two world wars in 20 years
00:09:09.200
is this trying to soften us and say we're not the aggressor we don't have we don't have a department
00:09:16.460
of war we have a department of defense we are only a defender you know or was it something else
00:09:23.980
what happened with the next president because the first the president that did this is truman who
00:09:31.420
was the next president the next president was eisenhower the general okay he was the general
00:09:37.580
that led the troops on the beaches of normandy he was he was the five star allied commander of world
00:09:43.660
war ii he becomes president and what is the last act he does in office the last act he does is give a
00:09:52.680
speech where he's like hey i just want to warn you you know me i kind of like you know i kind of like
00:09:58.640
the military uh you know i fought kind of several wars the big one you might have remembered ww2 you
00:10:04.400
know the big one i was there uh and i just want you to know we're in trouble because there's this
00:10:12.160
military industrial complex and a military educational complex and those two are going to get together and
00:10:21.020
it's going to be really bad for america unless we all pay attention what he was saying was we now have
00:10:28.980
a department of defense full time and you might think it's for defense but it's not it is going to
00:10:38.100
start doing things that it shouldn't do and it's going to start convincing you that we should be at
00:10:43.960
war when maybe we shouldn't because it will be good for the military industrial complex and so after we
00:10:50.920
went to the department of defense now it's not just because of the name but after we went to the
00:10:55.940
department of defense because we had an established military now that was full time we started spending
00:11:01.740
money like there was no tomorrow and we started working on weapons and those weapons had to be
00:11:06.660
used and proliferated and everything else and we ended up here so the president comes out and he says
00:11:14.000
i really really think we need the department of war and everybody is like wait a minute i don't know
00:11:20.700
if i like the department of war truman i think was rebranding it for peace time donald trump is saying
00:11:29.680
and i quote i don't want to be defense only we want defense but we want offense too and he is tapping into
00:11:38.040
something that is a true you know you you have to be well strength you know peace through strength this was
00:11:46.580
ronald reagan i think donald trump is taking this a step further on the same we're talking about this
00:11:52.780
on the same day he said we should get rid of all of our nuclear um missiles who says this oh i remember
00:11:59.960
the other warmonger ronald reagan we just found out yesterday that ronald reagan uh was trying to get
00:12:07.520
rid of our nuclear missiles um he didn't he didn't want to get all rid of all nukes he wanted the bombs that
00:12:13.280
could be loaded on planes but planes could be turned around missiles cannot be turned around
00:12:17.720
and so he said let's get rid of missiles as a world well donald trump i don't think coincidentally
00:12:23.940
this week is coming out and saying the same thing but he's also saying at the same time let's get rid
00:12:29.300
of missiles he's saying we should have a department of war i don't think anybody's going to really give
00:12:36.660
you all of this i certainly know the new york times and the post and everything else that all of your
00:12:40.980
liberal friends read are not going to do anything except you see he's a he's a warmonger he's a
00:12:46.020
warmonger no he's really not i think the best way to stop war and you're seeing it right now
00:12:53.900
is to have a leader and a country that knows exactly who they are they walk up to the plate and say you
00:13:01.040
know we could do this the easy way we could do this the hard way i recommend you do it the easy way
00:13:04.900
let's sit down let's have a conversation let's stop the killing and he tries and he tries and he
00:13:10.680
tries but knowing if you don't want to go that way that's fine but i'm going to turn your sand into
00:13:17.760
glass overnight and i'm not going to rebuild you i'm not going to bail you out you want to start
00:13:24.860
something go ahead but we will finish it when your country has the credibility that that is exactly
00:13:33.620
he means what he says and says what he means which is exactly what donald trump is doing
00:13:38.080
every why is the world coming to us why is he able to solve all of these problems why has he been able
00:13:46.200
to grant peace why has he been able to um do all of these things that nobody else has even been able
00:13:52.680
to do now yes he hasn't solved ukraine and russia but not all conflicts are really easy super easy
00:13:59.880
to solve you know with a bowl of peanuts and a nice glass of iced tea some of them are a little
00:14:06.620
difficult but why is the world coming to us why is he having is he effective like this because they
00:14:12.980
know he means what he says and says what he means you want to solve this great you don't want to solve
00:14:19.260
this then these are the conditions that we're going to move forward on and that doesn't that
00:14:25.220
doesn't embolden enemies that terrifies them he is the most anti-war president we have had since
00:14:33.900
jimmy carter but jimmy carter did not have the strength carter was weak and signaled weakness and so
00:14:40.360
he made the world more unsafe this president is strong this president is making the country stronger
00:14:47.820
and he believes in peace just as much as jimmy carter does i think this president is saying i
00:14:54.280
want the people to know that this is the department of war not just externally but internally too
00:15:01.960
we need to be reminded all of that money that defense when you think of defense what do you think
00:15:09.500
you think of well there's cyber security and there's all this all that kind of stuff and
00:15:13.740
we've got spy programs and you know we're gonna have a missile shield but when you think of war
00:15:22.980
bombs will be dropped that's the reality i think donald trump is trying to remind us
00:15:33.560
that's the reality of our defense department and we keep getting roped into all of these wars
00:15:42.420
that are meaningless why because somebody's making money so i don't know or you know
00:15:50.640
who are we do names even matter do names guide our national character or follow it
00:16:01.640
are names important my dad always taught me words matter every word matters because every word
00:16:09.920
tells you something about what a man believes about himself so do we need a department of defense or
00:16:17.380
department of war what does the answer tell us about our leaders and about ourselves
00:16:24.180
i can't believe i'm saying this because just last night before i really started thinking this through
00:16:29.980
i was against the department of war i think i'm actually for the department of war
00:16:34.060
i think it's the right thing to do it shows it shows strength externally and it reminds us
00:16:43.340
most importantly internally it is war it is death and destruction that's the biggest thing that
00:16:52.080
bothers me about our department of defense when they're like well we got a nation build and we're
00:16:56.600
going to train our navy to go in and be just buddies that's not what the navy is for that's not what
00:17:01.780
the air force is for that's not what anybody is for in the department of defense it is for war
00:17:08.500
break things kill people that has to be remind we have to remind ourselves every time you want
00:17:16.820
to build things you want to be peaceful you want to make sure that's what that's perhaps perhaps
00:17:23.060
what the state department is for the department of war is for war let's be clear and stop deluding

00:18:47.880
all right so stew help me out here what is the what is the new uh physical for the president's
00:19:05.980
physical fitness you know plan well the thing that rfk jr and hagseth were rolling out the other day i
00:19:15.240
don't know if it was the full test or anything but they were issuing a challenge to america
00:19:19.780
to be able to do 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups within five minutes that's crazy thank you
00:19:30.140
that struck you also as crazy i i i don't think there's ever been a time in my life i could have
00:19:36.180
done that let alone now with shoulder problems and and much too much weight no i remember when i was
00:19:43.340
a young ripper snapper before i needed this walker i don't think there was a time in my 20s or my
00:19:49.820
teens that i could do that that that in five minutes 50 both of them in five minutes yes both of
00:19:57.460
them so it's not like 100 uh push-ups in five minutes it's both tasks within five minutes no no
00:20:04.980
that's not true that's not what rfk jr is doing it in jeans yeah well rfk jr he's you know he's a
00:20:11.460
weirdo i mean he is he wait come on when it comes to fitness he's a weirdo yes i mean he's he's done
00:20:19.240
this his whole life he's you know like 800 years old and he can still do it he's uh i don't know
00:20:24.220
it's impressive he's a sex machine that's that's that's you know that's been a problem for him yes
00:20:29.520
that's been an issue in his life yes uh okay so separate from the president's physical fitness test
00:20:36.180
but i mean like they don't what they don't really think we're gonna do that right like i mean what
00:20:43.200
how long would that take you to do i think i think for me it would take a good month i think a month
00:20:48.540
i could probably get two pull-ups a day uh that would get me around you know a little over 50 so
00:20:56.100
i could do that plus the push-ups you know in a solid month i could get more than two a day
00:21:01.300
you do more than two a day you know good i gotta say i think i'm just gonna throw a number out there
00:21:07.080
this is there's no science behind this but just as a guesstimate i would say 40 of the population
00:21:12.240
can't do any pull-ups maybe 30 30 of the population can do exactly zero pull-ups precisely zero so an
00:21:22.300
infinite amount of time would be the correct answer for a third of the population i think you're i think
00:21:28.800
you're being i think you're being a little too optimistic i think it's closer to 40 or 50 i think
00:21:35.500
it's closer to 40 or 50 right maybe 60 percent yeah push-ups are one thing i mean i think almost
00:21:41.480
anybody can do they're really not a push-up one you could do a push-up singular push-up and if you
00:21:48.820
can do one you can wait long enough to do a second one and at some point the hundred gets done that is
00:21:55.280
not the case with pull-ups pull-ups you can can sit there and think about how much you want to do a
00:22:02.620
pull-up for a really long time but that doesn't make a pull-up happen if you've got a certain amount
00:22:08.020
of weight on you or you know i just you're not doing a pull-up it's just not occurring i have no
00:22:15.360
idea how many pull-ups i could do i have an exact number of how many you could do do you you think
00:22:22.980
so yeah yeah i have the exact i think i just i've been calculating ai has been running a report on me
00:22:28.600
it came up with zero right really i bet i could do i mean this is so pathetic listen to this
00:22:35.140
i bet i could do three you bet i could do three in a row
00:22:41.100
it would proper four row i'm saying like holding onto the bar without letting go you're doing three
00:22:49.080
there's no way i don't think so with proper i think i could no oh come on well with proper form i don't
00:22:55.420
know about that i don't know about that i'm saying i'm saying it has to look pretty you got to get your
00:22:59.560
chin up above the bar though it can't be one of those things where like you're a quarter of the way
00:23:04.260
i could do one and rest for 10 minutes and then do another one well i think i could do that
00:23:08.000
if you i'm not saying like you you jump up and you pull yourself up as you're going up you got to
00:23:13.520
come you know from full hang see stew you may not know this but you know when i did the dna test
00:23:18.380

00:25:46.360
structure of a uh of a something like a uh an elite athlete you have the abilities and agility and
00:25:59.020
everything else of an elite athlete and i'm like there's not a chance i don't have any of that

clear i you know maybe i could have played basketball but i tried once and it was embarrassing
00:27:13.060
it was embarrassing it was like sixth grade and i'll never live i don't even want to think about
00:27:18.080
my time on a basketball court okay so don't don't start with me you should have made it a little
00:27:23.300
clearer when i first started to do stuff and i think that's fair i think that's a fair argument
00:27:28.940
in my offense in my defense your honor your god uh you should have made it a little more clear
00:27:35.920
yeah i mean if they really if they really wanted us to do this then the 11th commandment is 50 push-ups
00:27:42.240
and uh or 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups right like put it in a commandment if you really want us to do
00:27:48.540
it uh you know i i give you have to be more specific we're americans okay so let me give you the top of
00:27:55.340
the list for the jfk presidential fitness test okay this is what you had to do in high school
00:28:04.080

00:28:21.520
bar dips 52 handstand push-ups 50 what are hands is that oh my god hands i can't even stand on my
00:28:29.120
hand is that like i'm i'm doing a handstand and a push-up because that's not happening yeah like
00:28:34.960
you're you're not human you're you're you're balancing yourself on your hands your feet are
00:28:39.840
above your hands uh on the wall like a wall and you're doing oh so you're balancing yourself that
00:28:46.620
makes it a little easier still impossible yeah but a little easier impossible there you could do
00:28:51.440
precisely zero of those right okay so you had to do 50 handstand push-ups or one are 30 no sorry
00:29:01.140
26 one-arm burpees in 30 seconds is that a one-armed push-up no so you're you're well you're bracing
00:29:10.580
yourself like you're about to begin a push-up in a burpee with only one hand arm which that's not
00:29:15.040
that difficult but then you're doing i think that then you're like you move your feet towards your
00:29:19.860
hands and then you jump up in the air basically uh and then you do it repeat oh no no no no no no
00:29:25.200
no that's that's ridiculous that's no there's a law of gravity okay you're not supposed to violate
00:29:30.940

00:36:24.020
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
00:36:32.020
think most americans could do that i couldn't well i could because i'm an elite i have the body of an
00:36:37.440
elite athlete you yeah no you could not uh now of course you now in your let's just say and this is
00:36:44.300
supposed to be for a high school kid right so this is the prime of your athletic life could you do
00:36:49.120
some of these things probably let go into high school go into any high school and ask them to do
00:36:55.220
this there's no way and all of the kids would be well that's kind of what the reaction i mean don't
00:37:02.900
get me wrong i would have oh yeah i would have been there too and my parents would have said
00:37:06.780
suck it up just do it so nothing's really changed but that's been the reaction to this proposal too
00:37:14.820
of bringing this back right like the the media is covering it's like it's going to embarrass children
00:37:19.880
you know i mean i do remember being like i can't do that i'm not going to be able to get to the top of
00:37:25.580
that rope that's not happening uh that's you know sort of life right like sometimes you can do things
00:37:30.360
sometimes you can't do other things right like that's it's why you have to learn how to injure
00:37:33.700
yourself right you know how how many stairs can i throw myself down to not do serious damage but
00:37:40.680
enough to get me out of pe yeah you have to fake an injury you have to like learn from lebron james
00:37:45.840
like act like you got hit in the eye and fall down exactly like you were just stabbed over and over
00:37:51.040
again during an athletic competition no way no way and you know what honestly if we this is why we're
00:37:56.700
not having sex with each other we're not having kids because nobody wants to look at each other
00:38:01.020
like no leave your clothes on leave your clothes on all right back in just a second let me uh just
00:38:06.580
take a quick break and tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's rough greens you know every
00:38:11.500
morning you're the coach for a very small very devoted athlete you decide what fuel goes into the
00:38:15.700
tank and your athlete happens to have four legs wagging tail kind of you know the kind of heart that
00:38:20.300
would follow you into a hurricane there's a way to tell if you're giving him the right fuel or just
00:38:25.580
filler um watch the aftermath pour the kibble 20 minutes later is he bouncing then crashing then
00:38:31.740
scratching then wandering off to sleep that's not performance food that's a roller coaster that's
00:38:36.820
what happens when a food is engineered to survive in a warehouse instead of surviving in a body and
00:38:42.520
help that body thrive rough greens is the trainer that you add on top of that team it's it's uh it's
00:38:49.260
not a new food it's a daily topper that goes on the food that you've already chosen
00:38:52.960
bringing back the live stuff that your body your dog's body needs because it was built to run on
00:38:59.800
this stuff and suddenly the post meal story changes big time and your dog has all kinds of energy um
00:39:05.980
and a whole new life you'll see it within your dog pretty quickly get their free jumpstart trial bag
00:39:11.660

their owners uh or dogs are calling me up at night glenn i gotta tell you that rough green stuff you're
00:39:27.620
right about it okay uh every time i've ever seen a dog react to this or hear it talk to their owners
00:39:32.840
it's the same thing they love it they snarf it and they see a difference in their energy their attitude
00:39:38.900
and i know i saw a difference in the life expectancy of my dog uno it's rough greens r-u-f-f-greens.com
00:39:46.300
roughgreens.com use the promo code beck roughgreens.com promo code beck there you have it the truth
00:39:54.720
stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm glenn beck returns after this
00:40:01.960
well we worry about uh you know the threats that we see right like the broken windows the
00:40:17.880
doors that's been kicked in the person creeping around the neighborhood if you've ever been on
00:40:22.220
one of those apps they're like the neighborhood watch.net you're just there's something there's
00:40:26.620
always somebody say like there's some guy creeping along that's the amazon guy um but these dangers
00:40:31.240
kind of feel real because you know you are uh trying to picture them right um damaging crimes
00:40:37.460
don't always come with flashing red lights or a burglar or a mask title theft happens quietly
00:40:43.160
inside a county records office or behind the glow of a hacker's laptop there's no alarm bell when
00:40:48.680
someone forges your signature no warning siren when people file paperwork that swaps your name off the
00:40:55.600
deed on paper it looks legitimate but in reality it's identity theft at its most devastating because it
00:41:00.920
takes aim at the single largest asset most americans ever owned your home and the worst part is
00:41:06.520
it spirals really really quickly now once the fake transfer is recorded loans get taken out against
00:41:11.560
your home bills pile up in your name and suddenly you're the one fighting uphill to prove you still
00:41:17.160
own the house you're living in home title lock exists because no one else is watching it monitors your
00:41:22.520
title uh every day and every night and make sure that someone so much as tries to tamper with it
00:41:28.360
you're alerted instantly because the hardest crimes to see are often the most important ones to stop
00:41:33.720
ai is changing the world don't let it change the name on your home's title it's home titlelock.com
00:41:54.600
welcome to the glenn beck program you know it's really sad and pathetic stew you put either of us
00:42:00.120
up against our wives and uh we'd look really pathetic i mean we look pathetic standing on our
00:42:05.880
own but put us next to our wives people note that often in the comments below photos she posts and i
00:42:13.560
don't think it's appreciated yeah mine does wow glenn how'd this work how'd this happen that's that's
00:42:20.360
the that's the number one comment when i'm in a picture with my wife yeah wow uh
00:42:24.760
not helpful miracles do happen i don't know i think you're blind yeah no yeah i know it's not
00:42:32.280
helpful you don't really need to to state it um yeah but thank you for doing it because it really
00:42:38.360
brightens my day when you point it out it does it helps me it helps me get along it helps yeah it
00:42:42.760
helps me uh yeah keep looking up but like reaching for the stars you know my wife she's uh she works
00:42:47.640
out every day she's in very good shape she's tiny too and so yeah i kind of the you'd think the perfect
00:42:53.320
person for pull-ups right um she's what she's like she's four and no she's like five five foot
00:43:03.720
and maybe uh maybe five one um five one okay okay tiny five one like like it was ridiculous to say
00:43:10.520
four nine it seemed like you were going into little person territory she's well you know i think that's
00:43:17.480
in the threes and she's clearly not a little person but uh she did like a pull-up challenge
00:43:23.400
at her gym yeah which they had like in a month had to do 10 consecutive pull-ups i think it was
00:43:29.080
she weighs like 35 pounds yeah not a lot you know 100 pounds yeah she got to not a she got
00:43:35.720
to she got to nine she got to nine consecutive ones in the challenge in a month i mean if she could do
00:43:41.240
that there's a lot of people who will do not nine in a year wait she did nine in a month so like i
00:43:48.520
could do one and then come back a few days later do another let me tell you a little bit about ammo
00:43:54.520
squared if you remember the uh great shortage of uh what was a 2020 when you walked into a store and
00:44:00.040
you could not get any kind of ammo at all the ammo shelves were empty and even the online options were
00:44:05.720
even wiped out well there's a company now here in idaho that uh works very hard to make sure that that
00:44:11.560
never happens again it's called ammo squared and they've been helping uh over a hundred thousand
00:44:16.760
members stockpile ammo automatically since 2015 and it's really great here's how it works the first
00:44:22.120
thing you do is you sign up you pick your choice or choices of ammo from over 70 different calibers
00:44:27.160
then you just set an auto buy budget and choose the shipping trigger after that over time your amula
00:44:33.640
your ammo accumulates stored for free in ammo squares climate controlled warehouse until that trigger
00:44:39.240
is pulled until you say i want it shipped no minimums no extra fees perfect for small budgets
00:44:43.880
or anybody who wants to build up a stockpile without breaking the bank it is the easiest way
00:44:47.880
to stay prepared without the hassle head right now to ammo squared.com take the work out of buying ammo
00:44:53.160
a hundred thousand members and thousands of five-star ratings cannot be wrong it's ammo squared.com
00:46:01.700
So we have a story that you probably have not heard
00:46:11.020
And it's about the United States giving money to a leader in the Taliban
00:46:20.100
Oh that was the right thing to do because he's a changed man
00:46:25.780
From the acting president of the U.S. Institute of Peace
00:46:35.440
And we're going to talk to him in just a second
00:46:40.640
He is a guy you would want to be put in charge of something like this
00:46:45.760
First good ranchers every day more and more farms are closing their gates for good
00:46:51.940
Generations of hard work and pride and family tradition just goes up for sale
00:46:56.560
Because foreign meat imports and mass corporate operations are killing the small farmers and the small ranchers
00:47:20.540
They partner directly with American farmers and ranchers
00:47:23.040
To bring you the high quality meats raised right here at home
00:47:27.740
Is more than just steaks and chicken and seafood
00:47:30.320
It is a vote of confidence in the people who built this country
00:47:41.200
You're making sure that American agriculture has a future
00:48:12.240
He is a U.S. Institute of Peace acting president
00:48:15.300
U.S. State Department undersecretary for public diplomacy
00:49:03.480
And the way President Trump is appointing different people like Darren
00:49:15.940
Because we are talking to him offline on the phone here
00:49:19.920
But not coming through our broadcast board here
00:49:26.840
Let me just talk here for five or six minutes on something else
00:49:29.980
And then we'll take a break and come back and see if we can get him
00:49:32.100
There's something else that I really want to talk to you about
00:49:40.040
This is something the President is putting up in an executive order
00:49:49.140
As a guy who's putting an enormous flagpole up at my house today
00:49:59.720
And there are a few things that make me more angry
00:50:02.920
Than seeing somebody, you know, set our flag on fire
00:50:10.160
And it has been planted on distant battlefields
00:50:28.040
And the argument against flag-burning is really simple
00:50:36.160
And it offends millions of people, including me
00:50:58.540
You have placed the cloth above the constitution that it represents
00:51:11.680
If you can only praise the flag and never protest it
00:51:42.060
And the Supreme Court has already ruled on this
00:52:12.220
And it doesn't have anything to do with speech that offends
00:52:17.980
Not speech that makes you want to punch the speaker in the mouth
01:27:25.980
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
01:27:55.700
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a video of a young woman who was speaking at a forum and
01:28:05.300
she was talking about what happened to her when she was 14 years old.
01:28:14.720
And the way she told her story, what she had to say is so important.
01:28:22.740
And it is so important that we hear these stories and that we stop this mutilation, this abomination.
01:28:41.060
We stop this nightmare of care for kids who wanted to transition into another sex.
01:28:52.440
Claire is going to tell her story here in just a second.
01:28:55.000
I want you to hear it because there is a way for you to get involved right now to stop this mutilation of our children.
01:29:02.140
And I'll tell you about that here coming up in just a second.
01:29:04.500
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour before we get to it.
01:29:08.920
It's time to be done letting your auto pay donate on your behalf.
01:29:12.580
Every month, your phone bill quietly leaves your account.
01:29:17.200
Part of it goes to a corporate agenda that has plenty to say about the country, your faith, your family.
01:29:23.240
Your phone should not have a political opinion, but your carrier certainly does.
01:29:28.080
So are you in line with your carrier's political opinion?
01:29:30.840
Because they're spending millions of dollars every month trying to dismantle the things you believe in.
01:29:35.680
Well, Patriot Mobile was built so your service doesn't work against you.
01:29:40.240
You get reliable nationwide 4G, 5G coverage, U.S.-based customer care that actually picks up the phone.
01:29:48.420
And they have plans that make sense without the gotcha games.
01:29:52.740
You can keep your number, keep your phone, or get new, both.
01:29:56.120
You can start using the carrier that stands with the things that you care about.
01:29:59.520
Freedom of speech, the sanctity of life, the support for our military,
01:30:02.640
the veterans, first responders, all of that stuff.
01:30:05.680
Nothing about your phone service has to change except where your money goes.
01:30:12.100
You can activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home.
01:30:14.500
You're worried about losing your coverage or whatever.
01:30:22.200
Patriot Mobile at 972-PATRIOT, 972-PATRIOT, or PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
01:30:42.800
I watched your video, and the story of you and your mom is so unbelievably compelling.
01:30:49.720
And especially since, I mean, I'm a father of four.
01:30:59.740
And it is so hard as a parent, especially at this time when everything is so confused.
01:31:07.560
And all of the experts are saying, no, your kid's going to kill themselves.
01:31:11.120
It is what your mom went through, let alone what you went through.
01:31:15.980
But what your mom went through is just, I think, so universal to some degree or another.
01:31:22.560
And I want to thank you for coming on and telling your story.
01:31:33.740
Well, it'd be better to start a little earlier.
01:31:38.080
I started identifying as trans when I was 12 years old, following a sexual assault and some pretty severe bullying that I was experiencing at school.
01:31:53.660
And adopting this identity gave me, well, one, it gave me the ability to pretend to be a new person, someone that this didn't happen to.
01:32:05.620
And it also gave me an entire social network, a whole friend group of other kids who felt similarly to the way I did.
01:32:14.760
And I fell into this social group and started seeing therapists recommended by the people in the support groups that we were going to.
01:32:31.280
And they made my parents feel like abusers for being skeptical, for wanting to take pause before making irreparable changes to their child's body.
01:32:43.540
Did anyone say, any doctor say, hang on, we should look at the abuse?
01:32:49.900
We should, I mean, this might be something that is tied to the abuse and to those experiences.
01:33:00.680
My mom asked about the abuse, the bullying, all these things that I'd gone through, disordered eating.
01:33:07.440
And she was told in no uncertain terms, no, that does not make a child think that they're trans.
01:33:16.300
And these are doctors like at Cook Children's Hospital in Dallas, a fantastic children's hospital.
01:33:26.560
One of the most well-funded children's hospitals in the nation, yes.
01:33:29.820
Interesting way of verifying what I said, the most well-funded.
01:33:36.980
Okay, so at 14, you were put on testosterone, and then like six months later, they're talking about surgery?
01:33:48.060
I started testosterone in November of 2018, and by January, I was approved for surgery.
01:33:57.300
It didn't happen until June, but that was just because we wanted to wait until the summer between my 8th and 9th grade years.
01:34:25.080
So what did they tell you about the surgery, and what didn't they tell you about the surgery?
01:34:31.620
Well, they told me that I was transgender, that I had gender dysphoria,
01:34:37.420
and that the only effective treatment for gender dysphoria was chemical and surgical intervention,
01:34:45.240
that if I didn't go through with this, the most likely outcome was suicide.
01:34:50.760
That's what they told my parents right in front of me.
01:34:53.740
And they didn't tell me that they would be performing a drains-free mastectomy on me,
01:35:06.780
meaning there was a significantly higher risk of fluid buildup and after rejection as a result,
01:35:15.120
which did end up happening, they didn't tell me that I would permanently take away my ability to breastfeed.
01:35:29.020
They didn't tell me that the majority of kids who look to pursue this end up growing out of it.
01:35:37.660
But there was a lot of things that I wasn't told.
01:35:41.780
So, I mean, but you weren't told, like, serious, like, you know, pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence and anything.
01:35:50.340
I mean, I see commercials on TV for, you know, drugs, and they go into 45 seconds of all of the things that could possibly happen to you.
01:36:01.920
They weren't required to tell you these things?
01:36:18.160
The doctor who did it to me is currently being sued by the Attorney General of Texas for continuing to do it after it was banned.
01:36:32.980
So, when did you know, I heard you talk about how when, you know, the double mastectomy, the bandages came off,
01:36:41.000
and you cried, and everybody thought there were tears of joy, but you weren't so sure.
01:36:45.320
What was like, when did you start going, uh-oh, uh-oh, what have I done?
01:36:55.220
There was always a feeling of sadness surrounding my chest,
01:37:03.560
but the narrative that they tell you in the trans community is that everyone kind of feels bad after surgery.
01:37:15.160
And that, I believed that it was just post-op depression for around a year,
01:37:19.840
until what actually happened was a girl on my high school's volleyball thinking about a breast reduction.
01:37:30.840
And I learned what a breast reduction was from that
01:37:34.520
and realized that a complete mastectomy was not the only option that was available to me,
01:37:43.400
that things were hidden from me, and that's when things started,
01:37:58.100
They deleted my reviews off of my surgeon's websites,
01:38:03.780
but I started posting on the Internet in, like, 2021 about what happened to me,
01:38:16.000
but I wasn't fully woken up to the reality of the situation until last December.
01:38:33.780
That we're harming children, that there's no such thing as a trans child,
01:38:41.820
That you don't become your true self by cutting off pieces of yourself.
01:39:02.320
And I thought it was heartbreaking how you were protecting your mom,
01:39:34.440
Again, I started wanting to be seen as a girl again.
01:39:38.280
And so, I started wearing padded bras in secret.
01:39:44.100
And I would hide them under my mattress whenever I got home from school.
01:39:49.320
And one day, my mom found one of these padded bras.
01:39:58.080
basically, if all of this had been for nothing.
01:40:30.620
But, yeah, she asked if all of this had been a mistake.
01:40:44.120
And I told her that this was why I didn't tell her
01:40:59.260
No, I didn't tell her that I regretted my transition.
01:41:08.540
until I decided to get breast implants when I was 18.
01:41:59.640
So you can understand how parents are just as duped
01:42:12.460
I mean, when you're sitting in front of a mandated reporter
01:42:18.620
and they're telling you that you're killing them,
01:42:31.520
and it would take a lot of prior knowledge of this issue
01:43:24.560
submissions for people to investigate, essentially.
