Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I got to say it. I got to say it.
Chapter 2: What recent article does Glenn discuss regarding the word 'retard'?
What I said today was a retarded monologue and you don't want to miss it. Also, a newfound hero is amongst us. And this woman's story going from hardcore Black Lives Matter. you know, Palestinian activist to where she is now at Stanford University, which, by the way, is friendless, is an amazing, heroic story. You don't want to miss that.
And all these people like, but Milli Vanilli is going to pull out of the concert on the mall in Washington. Oh, why would I go then? It makes me more eager to go. But I have a question for all of those who are dropping out. What is this really about? You don't want to miss that as well.
Chapter 3: Who is Taryn Thomas and what was her journey from activism?
All on today's podcast. When an unexpected pregnancy happens, the focus is almost always on the mother and the dads. Too often, they're overlooked, pushed to the side, left feeling like their voice doesn't matter. Maybe that's how you would feel, too. You want to be supportive. You want to do the right thing. But fear sets in. Questions start racing. Can I really do this? Can I be a good father?
That's exactly how John felt. John wrote to me and he said, me, a dad? That didn't even feel possible. I didn't know the first thing about being a good father, but then we found pre-born. We talked to people, Glenn, who cared.
Chapter 4: What led to Taryn's change of heart about her activism?
We got free ultrasound.
Chapter 5: What are the reasons performers are backing out of the America 250 concert?
And that's when it all came together for me that we could do this, that I could do this. Today, you can help another father experience the same moment of hope. For $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound through Preborn and help expectant parents see a future filled with life and compassion and the hope of God's love. Donate. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby.
That's pound 250 keyword baby or visit preborn.com slash Glenn. That's preborn.com slash Glenn. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
Chapter 6: What evidence does Glenn seek regarding the America 250 concert controversy?
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Chapter 7: How does Glenn critique the societal reaction to the concert performers pulling out?
Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I'm sorry. I just got a joke. Oh my gosh. How would you say riddled with ADD? And I've got a lot to cover today. I'm going to come back to America's two 50.
Cause I have a few things to say to people like Martina McBride and I love you, Martina. I love you do, but pony up with some evidence here. Uh, I'd like to know what you're talking about. We'll get into that a little later. Um, But also, I've got to stop here. There's two stories. One comes from the Supreme Court and the other one comes from the Huffington Post.
Huffington Post is very angry right now because the word retard is making a comeback. What a surprise. They're saying, oh, this is an ugly descriptor. that you're retarded. Okay. It's making an unfortunate comeback. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It is.
You know, you notice you don't say that about imbecile or moron, but that's why the word retarded came in because the retarded is a clinic, a progressive, uh, Clinical term. OK, because scientists said if you have severe intellectual disability, if you're severely retarded is what we would have said, you're an idiot. That's what the medical term was. You're an idiot.
If you're moderately retarded, you're an imbecile. If you have mild intellectual retardation, you're a moron, okay? So it was idiot, imbecile, and moron. And everybody started calling people, you're a moron, you're an idiot, you're an imbecile. And the people, oh, no, no, that's not what that means. That's so offensive. And nobody was hurt by being called a moron, okay? Uh, you got over it.
Um, and so then retard. And so I was like, I mean, I, I grew up in a world where retard everything was either gay or retarded and it didn't mean gay or retarded. Okay. Uh, and, and everybody was ringing their hand, clutching their proler. We can't use that word. So they replaced it. They replaced idiot, imbecile and moron with retardation or retarded. OK, because it was humane and scientific.
Then the same thing happened because you didn't change people and you didn't change the meaning. You know, and so you started saying, well, these are intellectually disabled people. They're developmentally disabled. They're people of special needs. And you know what? Guess what? Guess what? People of special needs is now not welcome in professional settings. It's an insult now.
Wait, I thought that was to replace the insult of retarded. You can't just replace words, okay? You just, you can't. Because if society doesn't change, then the new word just means what the old word meant. And then you're going to have to constantly, it's lather, rinse, repeat, lather. You know what it is? It's retardation. It shows retardation. You're slow. You're slow. Okay.

Chapter 8: What insights does Taryn share about her experience at the Nova Music Festival exhibit?
So I couldn't take it anymore. And I am so tired of the word police. And when Huffington Post came out and they were like, oh, you know what? We're so very upset about the word. I decided I'm going to write an open letter to the word police. Okay. Okay. And I took some time crafting this because I feel it deeply. So here it is.
Dear retarded language enforcers, professional offense takers and euphemism evangelists. Oh, how I've missed you. But there you are, melting down in perfectly choreographed outrage because the word retarded is making a comeback. And not just any comeback, but a glorious, unapologetic, full-speed-ahead retardation of your carefully constructed newspeak empire. Oh, the sheer panic on your face.
I mean, it is a chef's kiss. Really? It's like watching somebody try to put toothpaste back into the tube while the tube itself is retarded. But let me be clear. Since clarity seems to be a retarded concept in your circle, words are not violence. They are syllables with baggage.
And retarded has been carrying its suitcase through the English language for decades now, describing everything from developmental delays to your entire approach to public discourse. Now, you've spent years trying to retire it. You have replaced it.
with increasingly retarded alternatives, intellectually disabled, differently abled, cognitively divergent, a person with lived experience of slower neural pathways. Good heavens, man. Each one of these is more retarded than the last one. Honestly, it's like you're a thesaurus having a stroke. The retardation of your project is, however, truly impressive.
I mean, you didn't just want to retire the word. You wanted to retard the natural evolution of language itself. You wanted all of us walking on eggshells, retarded in our speech, self-censoring like good little hall monitors. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will literally kill me and require a safe space with an emotional support animal in it. How retarded is that?
Extremely, clinically, textbook retarded. Now here's the funny part. You magnificent retard, you. The more you clutched your pearls and screamed ableist, the more the word gained power. Why? I know you can't figure it out, but you're a little slow. Forbidden fruit always tastes sweeter. So now it's back.
And not as a cruel slur aimed at the genuinely disabled, who, by the way, have bigger problems than vocabulary, but as a perfect descriptor for your entire retarded worldview. Climate policies that retard economic growth. It's retarded. Higher education that produces graduates who cannot define a woman. Peak retardation. Cancel culture that treats retarded as worse than actual policy failures.
That's not just retarded, that's meta-retarded. Retardation so advanced that it loops back around, back into performance art. So you wanted to police language. You wanted to police language so hard that you retarded social progress. Remember when we could call bad ideas stupid without triggering a UN resolution? Those were the days. Oh, and they are coming back.
