Biden’s Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, recently issued a first-of-its-kind Surgeon General’s Advisory for “firearm violence.” Murthy argued that firearm violence is a “public health crisis” that must be dealt with immediately. But Glenn translates that into what it really means: “when the government says, ‘it's a public health concern,’ what they mean is a lack of control of the public.” Plus, Glenn reviews a terrifying bill that Delaware’s legislature recently passed that sheds light on why everything is being declared a “public health crisis.”

GLENN: Let's start with the Surgeon General. The Surgeon General has come out and declared climate change a -- a public health emergency.
He has also claimed that racism is a public health emergency. Now, when you have a public health emergency, you know i.e. COVID, the government can claim all kinds of powers.
If it's a public health emergency, they're using this language very, very carefully.
Now, here's what he said, yesterday. Cut four. Surgeon General announces firearm violence being a public health emergency.
Today, for the first time in the history of our office. I'm issuing a Surgeon General's advisory on firearm violence.
It outlines the urgent threat firearm violence poses to the health and well-being of our country. As a doctor, I've seen the consequences of firearm violence up close. In the lives of the patients I've cared for over the years. These are moms and dads. Sons and daughters.
All of whom were robbed of their physical and mental health. By sensible acts of violence.
Unfortunately, the problem has continued to grow. The Surgeon General's advisory lays out the approach we can take to address firearm violence as the public health crisis that it is.
This includes implementing community violence prevention programs and firearm risk reduction strategies, improving access to mental health care for those exposed to or at risk for firearm violence. An expanding research funding can inform and evaluate our prevention strategies.
GLENN: Hang on just a second.
Hold on. It he just say that it would expand mental health access, for those who have created gun violence or who had participated in it? Or had access to guns?
That's interesting. Anyway, so there's Dr. Murphy. Coming on. And he says, I just want people to walk through their neighborhoods. And feel safe.
Yeah. So do I. So do I. What's changed?
What's changed?
Why has it gotten so dangerous to walk through our neighborhoods. There are some other things that I would say are going on that I would call a crisis. But he doesn't want to talk about that. He wants to talk about the evil guns. And those who want guns.
And it's a public health crisis. Now, let me give you another story before I get into the main point here.
Delaware, the state legislators yesterday said doctor-assisted suicide bill to the governor, to sign.
This would be the 11th state to approve doctor-assisted suicide. Okay. Let's look at those 11 states.
What 11 states has doctor-assisted suicide? California. Colorado. Oregon. Vermont. New Mexico. Maine. New Jersey. Hawaii. Washington. And Washington, DC.
Stu, I'm noticing a pattern here. And I don't know exactly what it is. What do those 11 states have in common?
STU: Great vacation locations. No?
GLENN: No. I wouldn't put New Jersey in the same category as Hawaii.
STU: Really?
GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're all the most progressive takes the we have in the union.
Okay?
So they're the same ones that are fighting for the death of babies. They are the same ones that are now going to the opposite end. And saying also, the death of old people, or anybody sick, that wants to die.
Okay. All right. Now, let me tie these two stories together. May I?
Have you ever heard anyone tell the American people, that this is science? And those that don't understand it, are going to be swept aside, in the -- in history. As those being on the wrong side of history?
Have you heard anyone saying, well, to, you know, kids.
You know, you understand things, that your parents don't understand.
Because, well, they don't get it. It's a new generation.
Right?
Have you ever heard anyone saying, if you don't -- if you don't join us, you're against us.
Right? Okay. Let me read a -- let me read something to the doctors, in medical profession.
From a doctor Wagner. Colleagues, sweep aside all those who do want wish to understand the sign of the times. Hmm.
Over the course of these weeks, it has been with emotion and gratitude. That we have observed the German national awareness of itself. And the value of its blood.
In every ham het. Every walk of life. In all the professions, we are witnessing the awakening of the people. And rejection of mistakes coming from liberal and formal -- and foreign elements. When they say liberal, by the way. They mean classical liberalism.
Then mean, that you as an individual matter. Not the kind of liberalism that's now being preached. Liberalism meaning you have a -- an inherent right to choose for yourself.
Let's see.
He says, a few professions, participate in the grandeur, and the future of this nation as much as the medical profession does. And none is so rife with the Jews, nor hopelessly invaded by foreign thinking.
Now, you could say. Well, I mean, in today's world. We're almost there, saying the Jews here in America. But you could also say, instead of foreign thinking, MAGA. People who believe in the Constitution. That believe we are a republic.
The PhDs that are your, hold the leading chairs of medicine in universities. They are sterilizing the medical art, and impregnating generations of young doctors with a mechanist (phonetic) way of thinking.
Okay. They have already taken care of this, in the universities.
And anybody who is a conservative, is -- is talked about like that. They just -- they don't get it. They're living in the past.
They hate people, they hate children. They are a threat to our democracy. Right?
Jewish colleagues sit at the places of honor, and doctor societies and associations. Now, again, this one they've already taken care of here in America.
There is no one who is a conservative, that has been honored and is sitting in high places in any of these organizations.
They're making a Trumpery of the honor of the medical profession, as they're statistically annihilating our code of ethics.
Do we have two ethics? Two set of ethics in this country?
I think we do. I think we have the progressive code of ethics.
And then the traditional American code of ethics. Let's see.
We are indebted to them forever growing mercantilism, meaning capitalism. Unworthy of our profession. So capitalism shouldn't play any role. Because of it, we shall be impoverished. Our credit with the people would collapse. So because of capitalism, the people will be impoverished. You can't have that.
You need a socialized system. Have we heard that from anyone?
German doctors, this we know. Those responsible for the situation are foreigners. They alone have led us this way.
They have been opposed to any German thinking in our organizations.
So could that be said by people who are MAGA? Or people who are constitutionalists? Or people who are classical liberals?
Yeah. Yeah. We've been opposed to any of this new think. In all organizations.
But we have welcomed every Marxist proposal and -- but they have welcomed every Marxist proposal. And every Jewish member, or measure that came along.
We have not. We have not. They have. That the medical profession should constitute a Judeo-Messianic enclave at the heart of Germany cannot be allowed to happen. Honor and sense the duty that obliges us to put an end to this scandal.
It is for this reason, we are appealing to the entire German medical profession. Clean up the administration of our organization. Sweep aside all those who do not wish to understand the new way of thinking.
Does that sound familiar? For we wish to work together, towards the reestablishment of a new medical profession, for the welfare of the people and the honor of the German doctor.
Okay. So they -- the medical associations listen to this. And then, they begin to -- they, again, begin to socialize the medicine. And that's when they get into euthanasia.
And it's a public welfare project. That's what this is. It is for the good of the German people.
And those who are suffering. They are just unproductive people. And they are suffering. And we should help them meet the Lord.
Now, they go on, they start liquidating people.
People become suspicious. What does the government do?
The government comes out and says, we're not doing any of that. That's not true.
Does that sound familiar? How many times, have we heard, we're not doing that?
That's not want true. That's a conspiracy theory. And even Hitler himself comes out and says, this is an affront to the German ethics. We are not killing children, and -- behind the scenes, that's exactly what they're doing. Then they start a new campaign.
And they start to go after the universities and -- and culture. And they start producing movies and films that are showing, how insensitive it is for you to judge people that want to die.
And there was a -- there was a new movie that was released by Goebbels for propaganda.
Called I Accuse, and this was about a doctor whose wife was dying. And he gave her, you know, life-ending medicine, out of compassion.
And he was prosecuted for it. Persecuted is the way it is made to be in the movie.
And he says, you accused me of this?
I accuse you of having no heart!
Euthanasia becomes popular. And there's new passports for death. And then they develop public/private partnerships for death. For instance, the charitable organizations that would take old people and children out of the hospitals and kill them.
It was the community labor service. It was the nonprofit association for financial questions.
It was the Patient's Transportation Corporation that did all these things. Not the government. Oh, surely, not the government. They created a system, where the scariest were not the black-coated SS officers.
The scariest were the ones wearing the white coats. It was the doctors and in yours, that first laid all of the foundations for what the Nazis are best known for.
I warn you. You cannot make medicine political. You cannot take political matters, and bring them in to the system of medicine.
But that's exactly what we're doing. And may I ask: Do you think you or your familiar can afford in every way that that is meant or conjures, can you and your family afford another four years of this?
