It’s ‘a miracle’ — Glenn discusses his miraculous recovery

Several weeks ago Glenn revealed severe health issues that he’d been struggling with for years. Glenn posted on Facebook last Friday that doctors declared some amazing news — he was given the medical all clear. They all said it was a “miracle” — Glenn reacts to the great news on radio today.

Start listening below, and scroll down for the rush transcript

GLENN: So I want to talk to you a little bit about miracles. And do you actually believe in miracles? I contend that a lot of people don't. On Friday, I went to the doctor, and I witnessed, and so did my doctor and my wife a full-fledged miracle. In fact, the doctor said to me, there is no way to explain what has just happened.

PAT: Medically. Right?

He has no medical explanation for you.

GLENN: He said, I think we helped. He said, but honestly I was lying to you. He said, I was trying to tell you that, you know, hey, you know, things could get better.

Now, what I wrote on Friday on Facebook: Just got back from a doctor's appointment. Great news. One year ago, I had five different autoimmune disorders. Five autoimmune disorders. I wrote, I had Addison's disease along with a buttload of other things. To be honest with you, I did not have Addison's disease. The reason I wrote that is because the doctor said, I thought you were headed for Addison's disease. You had adrenal fatigue and adrenal failure, and I thought you were headed for Addison's. He said, I thought it was a matter of time before you had Addison's.

He stood there, and he looked at -- I got all my blood tests back. And I've been telling Pat for the last four weeks, I've been coming in in the morning, and there are mornings that I feel like I haven't felt in maybe ten years. And I said to Pat, I think I've been healed. I think I've been healed.

My weight gain is because of all of the medicine that they had me on. All of a sudden my body started working, and so all the medicines they had me on were attacking my body. I didn't need all of that medicine.

So I wrote on Friday: Today, I get my test results back. Zero autoimmune. And adrenal glands, full-force. The doctors told me they've never seen this happen before. I promised God that if he would just heal me to any extent of his will, I would pronounce the miracle.

Last summer, when I got my brain back online, I thought that was a miracle, and I pronounced the miracle. Today, I can rightfully say I have been healed. I want to thank the doctors at Carrick and the Carrick Brain Center, but more importantly, the architect of our body, God.

Believe. God is good. I've spent at least the last four years in hell. I would have given up if it weren't for my wife and my faith. Don't give up. Miracles happen. Life gets better. You're needed in the fight.

That's what I wrote on Friday. 123,000 likes. And how many comments? I don't even know. An absurd amount of comments. 13,000 comments.

But what I noticed in the comments were the number of people that said, this isn't possible. Glenn Beck is lying.

Now --

PAT: About which part? About being sick in the first place? That would have had to have been a lie?

GLENN: Yeah, there were some that came out and said, he didn't have Addison's. There's no way he had Addison's. And I corrected them immediately. I was borderline Addison's. I did not have that. I put that in there. I was writing on the way home in the car. Put that in there because I honestly don't understand what Addison's is.

PAT: I don't know what it is.

GLENN: To the fullest extent. And there is no cure for Addison's. However --

PAT: Except from God.

GLENN: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. If God chooses to heal Addison's, he will heal Addison's. If he chooses to heal anything. There were others that said, he didn't have five autoimmune diseases. Those are impossible to get -- I'll show you the blood tests. I'll show you the tests. For the love of Pete. Well, actually I won't show you the tests, but I could back it up.

PAT: This is kind of interesting. Addison's is a disorder that occurs in your body when your body produces insufficient amounts of certain hormones. Your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol, which you had.

GLENN: Yes.

PAT: And often insufficient levels of aldosterone. I don't know if you had that.

GLENN: I don't know.

PAT: But you definitely had the too little cortisol. That was for sure.

GLENN: It's full-fledged adrenal failure. Your adrenal glands completely shut off.

PAT: It sounds exactly like what you had.

GLENN: No. See, I don't know the difference. I know that John F. Kennedy had Addison's. They were afraid when I first came in that I had Addison's. I didn't have Addison's. They said I was borderline Addison's. It's like your skin even changes color and everything else. It's a really nasty, nasty disease. But I would say adrenal failure is a nasty, nasty disease. Adrenal fatigue is a nasty. When your adrenal glands aren't working, it's nasty.

PAT: We should mention because people will probably ask, is the pain completely gone?

GLENN: No.

PAT: So that's kind of weird. But there's still some lingering symptoms from the neuropathy?

GLENN: I don't know.

PAT: Or whatever that was.

GLENN: I don't know what it is.

PAT: You're making it up. It's all in your head.

GLENN: It's all in my head.

PAT: Maybe you should just stop making it up and then the pain would go away.

GLENN: Don't do this, Pat. Pat is only doing this now as you see because a he knows how much I say, I have to be making this up. This is not happening. I'm sitting curled in a ball and I'm saying, it's not happening. I'm fine. I'm totally fine.

[laughter]

No, that hasn't gone away, but everything else has.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And all I wanted, I wanted to be able to think straight again. And I got that back.

PAT: You're definitely doing that now. More energy. Just more you.

GLENN: Yeah. Then I needed my energy back. If I could get my energy back. Most people don't know, I was taking like two-hour naps between the show. So I would do the radio show -- and people have seen it. At times, I haven't been able to stay awake on the radio show. Even recently, I have not been able to stay awake on the radio show. And it's been really, really difficult. It's almost like having -- what is that?

PAT: Narcolepsy.

GLENN: My gosh. I don't know how people do it with narcolepsy. I worked way guy with narcolepsy. Have you ever known anybody with it? Besides you? You are close to it.

PAT: Pretty close.

GLENN: You're pretty close to it.

PAT: I haven't.

GLENN: Oh, it's so nasty. So nasty. I worked with a guy, he was a sales manager. And he had narcolepsy. And we would be in the middle of meetings. Just the two of us talking, then all of a sudden [snoring]. And you didn't know what to do. You would just sit in his office for a while, and then you would quietly get up and walk away. And then he would come back in a few minutes, I'm so sorry. It was so bad. I felt so bad for him.

PAT: That would be a hard. That would be hard.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really hard.

PAT: Although, on the latest -- your latest plane travel, you didn't have the pain you normally do.

GLENN: No.

PAT: It might be getting better in that aspect, yes?

GLENN: Yes, might be getting better. I mean, I just --

PAT: Have you had since you've gotten back from Las Vegas?

GLENN: Yes. But the good thing is, my energy is back, my adrenal glands are back. I mean, full-force. My adrenal glands are back full-force.

PAT: And producing the cortisol you need and all that stuff?

GLENN: Yeah. All of my autoimmune disorders are gone.

PAT: Wow. Jeez, so great.

GLENN: Five of them, all gone. The -- a lot of the things that I was having problems with, with the food, a lot of that stuff is cleared up. Still can't have bread. Still can't have a lot of things. But --

PAT: Do they think eventually you'll be able to?

GLENN: No. That's it.

PAT: That kind of sucks.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Again, did you tell them what I told my wife, bread, staff of life? Sound familiar?

GLENN: I didn't tell them that. What they said is some people are different. He said -- I said, oh, come on. And he said, some people just can't handle it. Not everybody, but just some people can't handle it. I think you're one of those guys that can't handle dairy products and wheat.

PAT: So still no dairy?

GLENN: No. I was really pissed. Goat's milk came out bad. I'm like, aw, no, not the goat's milk. Come on. And you know something else? No Brussels sprouts. Come on. Brussels sprouts and goat's milk I can't have. You're killing me, Doc.

PAT: Did you used to eat those together a lot for dessert?

GLENN: Breakfast, lunch, dinner. What are you having? I'm having Brussels sprouts and goat's milk. That's what I'm having. Just kicking back. Watching the football game. Having a bowl of Brussels sprouts and goat's milk, but no more. It sucks.

PAT: Those days don't come back.

GLENN: So yesterday, and it was so amazing, Pat and I were sitting in church yesterday and the whole thing seemed to be on miracles, didn't it?

PAT: It was.

GLENN: It was all on miracles. And partly because our church is fasting. Our ward -- our single church is fasting because we have a couple of people who are really, really sick in our ward. And amazing people. Just amazing people. And so we've been fasting, and I think either coincidentally or it was planned that we would talk about miracles yesterday. And the miracles that sometimes don't come. Sometimes don't happen.

And, you know, we go to church. We have this -- we're really fortunate. We get to go for three hours on Sunday.

PAT: That's a lot of fortune right there.

GLENN: Can't our many blessings on that one. So in hour two, we were -- it's like the Godfather, except not as good, just longer.

So in hour two, we were talking about the blessings that sometimes don't come. And --

PAT: Or at least not in the way you want them to. Not the way you expected. Like healings sometimes don't happen.

GLENN: Right.

PAT: And you lose people. And we had somebody like that in our area of the church, and the person who was relating the story said that after this person died, then all the miracles came, and they've seen a lot of them in their life since. Judge.

GLENN: There's a child that died. The family had been praying for other members of the family for a long time. And maybe the child's point in his life, his mission in life, was to help the family because the family has come together like in a miraculous way that no one thought was possible. Pretty amazing. And remarkable.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: But you could dismiss those miracles, and you could be mad that you didn't get the miracle you wanted.

Other people -- you know, I -- I said to Pat afterwards, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I mean, even at that moment, the Son of God asked that question. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? He didn't. He just knew that the biggest miracle was the resurrection and the forgiveness of sins, the atonement. That was the miracle. Not to be taken off the cross. Not to be comforted. Not to have the pain taken away. But the real miracle was yet to come. And so here he is, the -- the icon that we all look to saying, why have you abandoned me? How many of us have our faiths tested? How many of us have said that? Maybe we feel God doesn't hear us, God is not responding. We can't hear him. Maybe we start to question our own faith.

How could there be a God? He's letting all this stuff happen. Where is he? I'm good. I've done everything I'm supposed to do. What have I done wrong? Where is he? If he loved me, he'd be here. He'd at least let me hear him. He'd at least show up just to say, hey, everything's going to be okay. I don't hear anything from him. Why? Why have you forsaken me?

Because the biggest miracle of your life is yet to come. It's just not necessarily the miracle you're looking for.

I put up on my Facebook page another post. It was Saturday. I said, I was reading all of the -- the messages, the good and the bad from the posts that I put up on Friday about the miracle in my life. And I said, I was a little dismayed at the number of people that question miracles. Not possible. Isn't that the point of a miracle?

We're questioning the little ones. The earth does not fly into the sun. It makes a revolution around the sun every year. Same revolution. It doesn't spin out of control. The temperature of space, if it changes by one degree, the entire thing collapses. We don't ever question the miracle of life itself. The fact that the sun is providing light and heat, warmth, life, that the temperature of space doesn't change, that the sun is coming up at the right time tomorrow morning. We never question the big miracles that happen every single day. My gosh, if he can do that, why do we question the little ones?

I've said to you before, you're going to see miracles in your lifetime. I believe we'll need part the Red Sea miracles in our lifetime. If we don't expect them, we will never see them. Teach yourself to believe once again in miracles because they're real. I know I've seen it.

The Deep State's NEW plan to backstab Trump

We cannot make the same mistake we made in 2016 — celebrating victory while the deep state plots its next move.

In 2016, Donald Trump shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton. Conservatives cheered, believing we’d taken back the reins of our country. But we missed the bigger battle. We failed to recognize the extent of the damage caused by eight years of Barack Obama and decades of progressive entrenchment. The real war isn’t won at the ballot box. It’s being waged against an insidious force embedded deep within our institutions: the administrative state, or the “deep state.”

This isn’t a new problem. America’s founders foresaw it, though they didn’t have a term for “deep state” back in the 1700s. James Madison, in Federalist 48, warned us that combining legislative, executive, and judicial powers in the same hands is “the very definition of tyranny.” Yet today, that’s exactly where we stand. Unelected bureaucrats in agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Justice hold more power than the officials we vote for. They control the levers of government with impunity, dictating policies and stifling change.

This is the fight for the soul of our nation. The founders’ vision of a constitutional republic is under siege.

We’ve felt the consequences of this growing tyranny firsthand. During COVID-19, so-called experts ran our lives, crushing civil liberties under the guise of public safety. Our intelligence agencies and justice system turned into weapons of political warfare, targeting a sitting president and his supporters. Meanwhile, actual criminals were given a pass, turning American cities into lawless war zones.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1816 that “the functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents.” Today, we see Jefferson’s prophecy fulfilled. The deep state exercises unchecked power over our freedoms, and information itself is controlled by the fourth branch of government: the legacy media.

Even when we win elections, the deep state doesn’t concede defeat. It switches to survival mode. Trump’s first term proved this. Despite a historic mandate to dismantle the bureaucracy, the deep state fought back with everything it had: leaks, investigations, court rulings, and obstruction at every turn. And now, with the possibility of Trump returning to office, the deep state is preparing to do it again.

Progressives are laying out their attack plan — and they’re not even hiding it.

U.S. Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.) recently boasted about forming a “shadow cabinet” to govern alongside the deep state, regardless of who’s in the White House. Nickel called it “democracy’s insurance policy.” Let’s be clear: This isn’t insurance. It’s sabotage.

They’ll employ a “top down, bottom up, inside out” strategy to overwhelm and collapse any effort to reform the system. From the top, federal judges and shadow officials will block Trump’s every move. Governors in blue states like California and New York are gearing up to resist federal authority. During Trump’s first term, California filed over 100 lawsuits against his administration. Expect more of the same starting January 20.

From the bottom, progressive groups like the American Civil Liberties Union will flood the streets with protesters, much as they did to oppose Trump’s first-term immigration reforms. They’ve refined their tactics since 2016 and are prepared to unleash a wave of civil unrest. These aren’t spontaneous movements; they’re coordinated assaults designed to destabilize the administration.

Finally, from the inside, the deep state will continue its mission of self-preservation. Agencies will drag their feet, leak sensitive information, and undermine policies from within. Their goal is to make everything a chaotic mess, so the heart of their power — the bureaucratic core — remains untouched and grows stronger.

We cannot make the same mistake we made in 2016 — celebrating victory while the deep state plots its next move. Progressives never see themselves as losing. When they’re out of power, they simply shift tactics, pumping more blood into their bureaucratic heart. We may win elections, but the war against the deep state will only intensify. As George Washington warned in his Farewell Address, “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force; and force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

This is the fight for the soul of our nation. The founders’ vision of a constitutional republic is under siege. The deep state has shown us its plan: to govern from the shadows, circumventing the will of the people. But now that the shadows have been exposed, we have a choice. Will we accept this silent tyranny, or will we demand accountability and reclaim our nation’s heart?

The battle is just beginning. We can’t afford to lose.

Drone mystery exposes GLARING government incompetence

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

The drone issue is getting way out of hand.

Earlier this month, Glenn first reported on the mysterious drones stalking the night sky over New Jersey, but the situation is increasingly concerning as the sightings have escalated. Not only have drones been seen across the Northeast Coast, including over New York City, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, but recently, they have been spotted over the night skies of San Diego and other parts of Southern California.

It doesn't take an expert to identify the potential dangers and risks that dozens of undetectable, unidentified six-foot or larger drones pose to national security. Yet, our government's response has been one of unimaginable incompetence, leaving us to speculate on the origin and intention of these drones and wonder in astonishment at the government's ineptitude. Here are three examples of the government's lackluster response to the mystery drones:

Iranian Mothership and Missing Nuclear Warheads

After several weeks of hubbub, New Jersey Representative, Jeff Van Drew gave an interview on Fox News where he claimed that the drones originated from an Iranian "mothership" off the East Coast of the United States. This theory has since been disproven by satellite images, which show that all Iranian drone carriers are far from U.S. shores. Another theory suggests that drones may be equipped with sensors capable of detecting nuclear material and that they are looking for a nuclear warhead that recently went missing! With these apocalyptic theories gaining traction in the absence of any real answer from our government, one can't help but question the motive behind the silence.

Pentagon's Limp Wristed Response

In a recent press conference, national security spokesman John Kirby responded to reporters demanding answers about the government's lack of transparency, which has caused increasing public anxiety. He insisted that the drones did not pose a threat and were not assets of a foreign power, such as from Iran or China--even though he is still uncertain about their identity and origin. He also claimed that many of the sightings were simply misidentifications of normal aircraft.

This lackluster answer has only further inflamed national anxieties and raised even more questions. If the government is unsure of the identity of the drones, how do they know if they are a threat or if they aren't foreign assets? If they aren't foreign, does that mean they are U.S. assets? If so, why not just say so?

The Pentagon has also stated that they are leaving it up to local law enforcement to spearhead the investigation after concluding that these drones pose no threat to any military installation. This has left many feeling like the federal government has turned a blind eye to a serious issue that many Americans are very concerned about.

Where's Pete Buttigieg?

Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

We are in the closing weeks of the Biden administration, and with the finish line in sight, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg probably figured nothing else could go wrong on his watch—but boy was he wrong. As Secretary of Transportation, Buttigieg is in charge of the FAA, the agency responsible for managing all air traffic across the nation. One would think that mysterious, 6-foot-long, seemingly intractable drones are invisible on radar and flying above major cities would pose a serious threat to the myriad of legal aircraft that traverse our skies. Yet, Buttigieg has been silent on the issue, adding another failure to his resume which includes: malfunctioning airplanes, the train derailment in Ohio, and the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse, just to name a few.

Glenn: How Alvin Bragg turned hero Daniel Penny into a villain

Michael M. Santiago / Staff | Getty Images

We cannot allow corrupt institutions to punish those who act to protect life and liberty.

America no longer has a single, shared understanding of justice. Two Americas now exist, each applying justice differently depending on who you are and where you live. One America, ruled by common sense and individual courage, praises heroes who stand up to protect others. The other, driven by political agendas and corrupted institutions, punishes those same heroes for daring to act.

This stark division couldn’t be clearer than in the case of Daniel Penny, the Marine whose trial in New York City this week drew strong reactions from both sides across the divided line of justice.

If we let this slide, we accept a world in which heroes are treated as criminals and the law is a weapon for ideological warfare.

Penny was on a subway train last year when Jordan Neely — a man suffering from severe mental illness and reportedly high on drugs — began threatening passengers, saying, “I’m going to kill you all.” The fear on that subway car was palpable, but nobody moved. Nobody, that is, until Penny did what needed to be done. He took action to protect innocent lives.

In the America many of us used to believe in, Penny’s response would be heralded as heroic. His actions mirrored the courage of Todd Beamer on Flight 93, who, on September 11, 2001, rallied others with the words, “Let’s roll,” to prevent further tragedy. But in New York, courage doesn’t seem to count anymore. There, the system turns heroes into villains.

Penny subdued Neely using a chokehold, intending only to restrain him, not kill him. Tragically, Neely died. Penny, filled with remorse, told the police he never meant to hurt anyone. Yet, instead of being recognized for protecting others from a clear and present threat, Penny stood trial for criminally negligent homicide.

In Alvin Bragg’s New York, justice bends to ideology. The Manhattan district attorney has made a career of weaponizing the law, selectively prosecuting those who don’t fit his narrative. He’s the same prosecutor who twisted legal precedent to go after Donald Trump on business charges no one had ever faced before. Then, he turned his sights on Daniel Penny.

A jury may have acquitted Penny, but what happened in New York City this week isn’t justice. When the rule of law changes depending on the defendant’s identity or the prosecutor's political motives, we’re no longer living in a free country. We’re living in a state where justice is a game, and ordinary Americans are the pawns.

The system failed Jordan Neely

It’s worth asking: Where were activists like Alvin Bragg when Neely was suffering on the streets? Jordan Neely was a tragic figure — a man with a long history of mental illness and over 40 arrests, including violent assaults. The system failed him long before he stepped onto that subway train. Yet rather than confront that uncomfortable truth, Bragg’s office decided to target the man who stepped in to prevent a tragedy.

This isn’t about justice. It’s about power. It’s about advancing a narrative where race and identity matter more than truth and common sense.

It’s time to demand change

The Daniel Penny case — and others like it — is a wake-up call. We cannot allow corrupt institutions to punish those who act to protect life and liberty. Americans must demand an end to politically driven prosecutions, hold DAs like Alvin Bragg accountable, and stand up for the principle that true justice is blind, consistent, and fair.

If we let this slide, we accept a world in which heroes are treated as criminals and the law is a weapon for ideological warfare. It’s time to choose which America we want to live in.

CEO Brian Thompson's killer reveals COWARDICE of the far-left death cult

Jeff Swensen / Stringer | Getty Images

Early on the chilly morning of Wednesday, December 4th, Brian Thompson, CEO of health insurance giant, UnitedHealthcare, was walking through Midtown Manhattan on his way to a company conference. Suddenly, a masked and hooded figure silently allegedly stepped onto the sidewalk behind Thompson, drew a 3-D printed, silenced pistol, and without warning fired multiple shots into Thompson's back before fleeing the scene on an electric bicycle. After a multiple-day manhunt, a 26-year-old lead suspect was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania after being recognized by an employee.

This was not "vigilante justice." This was cold-blooded murder.

As horrific as the murder of a husband and father in broad daylight in the center of New York City is, the story only gets worse. Even before the murder suspect was arrested, left-wing extremists were already taking to X to call him a "hero" and a "vigilante" who "took matters into his own hands." Even the mainstream media joined in on the glorification, as Glenn pointed out on air recently, going out of the way to show how physically attractive the murder suspect was. This wave of revolting and nihilistic fanfare came in response to the findings of online investigators who surmised the murder suspect's motives to retaliate against healthcare companies for corruption and denied coverage. The murder suspect supposedly underwent a major back surgery that left him with back pain, and some of his internet fans apparently viewed his murder of Thompson as retribution for the mistreatment that he and many other Americans have suffered from healthcare companies.

The murder suspect and his lackeys don't seem to understand that, other than depriving two children of their father right before Christmas, he accomplished nothing.

The murder suspect failed to achieve his goal because he was too cowardly to try.

If the murder suspect's goals were truly to "right the wrongs" of the U.S. healthcare system, he had every tool available to him to do so in a constructive and meaningful manner. He came from a wealthy and prominent family in the Baltimore area, became the valedictorian at a prestigious all-boys prep school, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a master's in engineering. Clearly, the murder suspect was intelligent and capable, and if he had put his talent into creating solutions for the healthcare industry, who knows what he could have accomplished?

This is the kind of behavior the far-left idolizes, like communists on college campuses who wear shirts that celebrate the brutal Cuban warlord, Che Guevara. Merchandise celebrating the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect is already available, including shirts, hoodies, mugs, and even Christmas ornaments. Will they be sporting his face on their T-shirts too?

This macabre behavior does not breed creation, achievement, success, or life. It only brings death and risks more Americans falling into this dangerous paradigm. But we still have a chance to choose life. We just have to wake up and take it.
