And today's podcast, I wish you would listen to the whole show, because the whole show was just amazing. We start with Lesbian Bar in Massachusetts, and you would swear that this was, we made it up. I mean, not a word of it. It comes from the Boston Globe. We had to read it verbatim because it's so crazy, but it shows you what your life is going to be like if we go back to the Marxist left. Also, your body has meaning, and I tie four stories together in this. And it is so important because, as you'll find out later in the show, there's a new poll out by the progressives on progressive Democrats. And the way they look at death and life and our Constitution, you want a reason to vote? That would be it all on today's podcast.

You're listening to The Best of The Glenn Beck Program.

By the way, I don't know if you heard about the surrogate mother. We're going to talk about that next hour. I've got a lot of stuff next hour. That is, again, another sign of the times, but we'll get into that next hour. Right now, I've got to...

I'm just going to give you the headline here. It's just a little tease of what is to come, but believe me, this is an eight-course meal. Massachusetts lesbian bar nearly bullied out of town after lifting mask mandate for one night.

According to the Boston Globe, trouble is a bruin at this watering hole. A Massachusetts lesbian bar... By the way, I want you to know, I didn't add anything to this story. None of these words are mine. A Massachusetts lesbian bar descended into a catty culture war and faces a potentially business ending boycott from some sudden enemies who flipped out when the owners lifted a long-standing mask mandate for one night a week. Quote, It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional. Last Ditch merrily wrote in an August Instagram post that blew its world apart, some critics dramatically liken the decision to a mass disabling event or a eugenicist attack and a host of other hot-button terms that escalated into threats of violence. Quote, I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ableists.

Another one, people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience. And a third said, just say you're being complicit in mass disabling events and get it over with. I don't even know what a mass disabling event is, but I'm pretty sure of saying, you know, you got to take the mask off. You know what? You can leave the mask on six nights a week. One night a week, we're going to say, hey, if you're not a freak that is still freaking out about COVID, come on in. The water is fine. And by the way, you're still invited to wear your mask. You're just going to be around people who are not wearing theirs. Now, I know that might cause some problems, because how does anyone that's immunocompromised drink with a mask on? I guess the germs can't get in when you just lift your mask up, so you can put the glass to your face, and then you just don't breathe, don't breathe. You just got to take a swig of the swig. Mask back on. It's ridiculous.

This is all because masks were made optional just once a week. Last Ditch, which is the name of the bar, opened in 2025 It still requires masks on all other days, even as Greenfield, the town it is from, hasn't reported a COVID case in months. Now I'd like to know the definition of months. Is that five months, six months, or 42 months?

Last Ditch, which opened in 2025, still requires masks all other days, even as Greenfield hasn't reported the COVID case in months. The business soon found its divey bar room bearer on what used to be busy nights as irate customers banded together to boycott. Sales had already been slumping due to the bar's floundering business model that includes rules like nobody, nobody will be barred from entry due to lack of funds. The poor and unhoused people are welcome in this space. Now I don't know how that's not working out for you as a business model. I don't know. The mask mandate was another rule as last ditch vowed ableism, infringements on disabled patrons enjoying the venue was strictly barred. That meant the face coverings were required to protect anyone who was immunocompromised. It remains unclear how anyone was expected to drink while mask. This is crazy. The bar's... No, no, you haven't heard anything yet. Ready for this? You ready for this paragraph? The bar's three owners, one a drag performer that uses it and its as their pronouns, another now in clown school, began to slip behind on their bills and couldn't pay themselves or their staff.
