The Olympics is allowing men to punch women in the face for our entertainment – but who’s fault is this? We could blame the Olympics, Glenn says. But when society stays silent for so long about these issues, maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised when things like this happen. Glenn reviews the story, which saw a fighter from Algeria with XY chromosomes and a very male physique competing in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics. The match led to the woman in the match crying on her knees. Is this what presidential candidate Kamala Harris means by allowing ourselves to be “unburdened by what has been?” Glenn warns that while Harris’ favorite saying might sound silly, its real meaning is VERY dangerous.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what is the thing that has been setting you off in the last 24 hours?
STU: Why do you assume that there is something? Maybe it's been a really relaxing day. And everything has been fine.
Perhaps that's been my last 24 hours.
GLENN: Yeah. Somehow, I doubt that, Stu.
STU: Honestly, the thing that has been pissing me off more than anything. Is the basically male boxer beating the crap out of women in the ring.
That's been kind of the thing that's been bothering me. I kind of think that's real.
GLENN: Yeah, a little bit.
STU: I think the idea of domestic violence for entertainment is a strange thing.
And I've been following the story relatively closely.
And now the left is trying to say. Actually, she's intersex, or something like that.
It really doesn't matter. This doesn't have to be a statement about trans rights in America. To be a problem. The problem is a giant person with all sorts of male characteristics, and strength beyond almost any woman, is punching women in the face.
And I just -- you know, and, by the way, a person who has already failed a gender test, in a major international competition. So that's enough for me, to be a little upset.
GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I know you're a betting man. I mean, let's just go with it. How long before we see a nonbinary person, or a person that has switched genders beat a woman to death, and the crowds cheer.
How long? How long? When do we get that special?
STU: Not long.
I mean, there was a story just the other day. It was two days ago. A 17-year-old girl was playing volleyball against a trans person.
GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
STU: And she's now, I think paralyzed.
Which is --
GLENN: But she didn't die.
STU: She's paralyzed with brain damage. After a transgender opponent. Who cackled with delight, after knocking her to the ground.
So that's our world.
GLENN: Okay.
Well, doesn't count. Doesn't count.
Who feels bad for the athlete from Italy, that got punched in the face?
STU: I feel really bad for her, and it's a weird distinction, in that, I feel bad for her, and her rise through her sporting life. And all the work she's put in, and how this was her dream. And it's been ruined by nonsense.
Though, I feel worse for her, for being punched in the face by a man.
That's actually, the one I think is worse than the sporting event stuff. I'm all with you, with the sporting event stuff.
I think that's bad. When it gets to combat sports stuff. It becomes a whole 'nother level. I would argue borderline criminality. Without knowing all the facts, I can't I guess put them immediately in prison. But anyone who sanctions this sort of nonsense should be considered for a small home inside a cell.
GLENN: So I agree with all of that stuff.
But a little bit of me says, hmm. Ms. Italian police officer, I did feel really bad for you. And then you decided to walk off and go, but who am I to judge? Honestly, who am I to judge. I don't know. I just didn't want to be hit in the face by him anymore.
Who are you to judge? I don't know! An individual. A person. A woman.
If you don't stand up against this, it's never going to change. You can't let somebody else carry the water for you.
You had a global stage. Everybody saw you.
Everybody was with you.
And then you go, but I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm just a bigot. Maybe I'm just a hatemonger.
I don't think so, but it could be. No! No! I am a woman. When are we going to protect women?
When are we going to protect girls in sports?
When? You know what, you know what this is? This is the world being unburdened by those things that have been. You know what that means? Let me translate bullcrap to English. This is what that means. Forget everything you thought was true. Because we're changing everything tonight!
That's what that means. To be unburdened by those things that were. Yeah, no, thank you.
I know how to define a woman. Genetics.
You know, kind of -- kind of plays a role in life. I hate to bring this up. But science plays a role.
And you can't -- you can't pass as a biological female. You don't play.
But -- but no wait. We're being -- we're being -- we're unburdening ourselves from things like that icky science. Only in this category, however. Because science disagrees with this. Well, also, it does with global warming and a whole bunch of other stuff. Shh. Quiet, you hatemonger.
Stand up. Stand up. Title IX is going in some states are letting your kids go to school in the next few weeks. And they'll be kicked in the face by some female soccer player that's a dude!
Say it. Say it.
You know, it all stops having power, when you're not afraid anymore. What do you have to lose?
What do you have to lose? I could lose my job. You want to lose your soul?
Well, I have to take care of my kid. Really? And how are they going to take care of them? When we've unburdened ourselves with what has been. When they don't know history.
They don't know math. They don't know how to read or write. How are they going to survive, Dad? Mom?
They're not going to. If you don't stand up for them right now, they ain't going to.
STU: You know, Glenn, it's funny you say that. I have heard Kamala Harris say that so many times.
And basically, I've only considered it as something to mock, and just the fact that she's got nothing to say, and she's just repeating herself.
But as you point that out, isn't that essentially exactly what Michelle Obama said, all those years ago?
It's the same phrase. Right?
GLENN: Yes.
STU: Hey. We have to erase our history. We have to erase our traditions. We have to move to a new time. We have to --
GLENN: We have to unburned ourselves from the things that were!
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: That's exactly what she was saying.
STU: Unburdened by what has been.
GLENN: Yeah. You cannot just make Kamala Harris into a joke.
She means those things.
And you -- you don't see it that way. Because you're like, oh, look at the poetry lady is back.
(laughter)
No.
STU: It is also fun to laugh. I'm not going to dismiss that part of it.
But you're right, though.
It's an interesting thing. If you -- if you're unburdened by what has been. Such as knowledge, traditions, things that have actually worked for civilizations.
Man, you can make all sorts of crazy decisions. The Constitution.
You're not unburdened by it, anymore. Really, I've never thought of it -- I never thought about what she was actually saying.
I was just laughing at her for saying, seemingly nothing. There's a lot of meaning behind that.
GLENN: I know. Uh-huh.
Now, may I -- I need your permission to do this, Stu. Because I never, ever do this. May I bring this to the Nazis?
STU: You know, you are usually so hesitant to bring up any sort of tie to Nazi Germany.
GLENN: I know. I know.
STU: I feel like in this case, it must be okay. Because you're just so normally not going down that road.
You're so normally unburdened by the Nazis. And what they have been.
GLENN: Right. What was it that the Nazi scientists were trying to do.
They were trying to create super people. Right?
They wanted to change, don't it make my brown eyes blue?
Well, injecting eyes with ink. Yeah. That makes your brown eyes blue, until you die.
So what they did is they unburdened themselves, of those things that had been.
Like, hey. Let's treat every child as sacred. Hey, let's have empathy for people who are unlike us. Let's -- let's unburden ourselves from this.
Let's just kill the people who have handicaps, okay? That was new, scientific thinking.
And when you unburdened yourselves from all the things that you have learned. All the things that the Lord had taught you forever. What makes -- what makes a Judeo-Christian different than any other religion, in the world. What is their main ethic?
Their main ethic is love God, love yourself, and love your neighbor. So let's unburden ourselves from God.
Let's unburden ourselves from the neighbor, if they're different than us. But dig me!
I love myself. You can't unburden yourself from the other two!
They are changing history in realtime, they are changing our -- our ethics in realtime.
Because they've said over night, how many times in the last 15 years, did you wake up, and there was like a new word you had to learn? What the hell was -- what? What does that mean?
I don't even know what that means. And like everybody was using it. It was almost like Kamala Harris. She's the worst. She can't get anybody.
Her staff hates her. She's the greatest woman in the world.
We just saw it again. They just change overnight, like there's some secret telegraph going off someplace.
Okay. Start tomorrow. Just to really freak Americans out, we're just going to start calling Kamala a hero and a -- and a genius.
Americans won't know what hit them. They'll think they woke up in a different world. A parallel universe.
Where you didn't yesterday. Everybody thought she was an idiot.
They'll never figure it you out, it's so funny. Stand up for what you know is true.
You will not save your children. If you cower now.
It's only going to get harder.
To the police officer from Italy, I feel bad for you.
I feel bad, because you probably worked your whole entire life, to get to that moment.
And then some dude comes in, and punches you in the face.
Why? Why are you throwing everything you have done in the past away? Why are you throwing everything you know to be true away?
Stand up for yourself. If you don't stand up for yourself, who are you expecting to do it for you?
Back in just a second.
Let me just tell you about our sponsor. It's Ruff Greens.
Angela wrote in about her dog's experience with Ruff Greens.
She said, I ordered Ruff Greens a few weeks ago.
While I was listening to Glenn Beck on the Blaze.
If his dog loved it, I felt sure my dog would. Parker loved it right away.
I put it into his bowl, and he lapped it up, much to my surprise. Quinn was a bit more reluctant. Didn't seem enthusiastic at first.
But after a week, she gobbled it down. I've noticed a definite increase in energy in both of your dogs. Angela, you just keep watching. You will see your dogs have a new life.
You really will. This is not a dog food. This is a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. That you sprinkle on the food.
Brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. The folks at Ruff Greens are so confident, that your dog will love it. That they have a special deal for you. Just go to RuffGreens.com/Beck. Or call 833-Glenn-33. 833-Glenn-33.
You'll get your first trial bag for free. All you do is pay for shipping. 833-Glenn-33. RuffGreens.com/Beck. 833-Glenn-33. Ten-second station ID.
STU: Glenn, let me ask you real quick, while we're on this topic. Because I'm interested in your coverage here.
I want to do an Olympic medal ceremony. You have a gold, a silver, and a bronze to give away.
And you have to give it to the people in this story, that piss you off the most. Now, you just did a very long rant about the actual boxer, who was punched in the face. And the people have -- potential medal winners.
Are her, the person who is punched in the face, the person who punched her in the face, and the people who sanctioned the event, that allowed him to punch her in the face.
If you're doing a gold, silver, bronze, as most pissed off, who are you giving it to?
GLENN: In that order reversed? Gold, to the sanctioning people, to him and then her.
STU: So gold to --
GLENN: You're leaving out the real gold.
STU: Who is the real gold?
GLENN: The real gold goes to everybody who is just sitting here quietly.
It really goes to -- none of this would have happened.
