Lexi Kuenzle, a 33-year-old nurse at Englewood Health in New Jersey, was suspended from her job after confronting bariatric surgeon Dr. Matthew Jung for his alleged comments regarding Charlie Kirk’s assassination.According to her testimony, Jung celebrated Kirk’s death, claiming he “deserved it," during a discussion at the nurses' station in front of colleagues and a patient on a stretcher. But when Kuenzle reported the incident to hospital management and shared the story on her personal Instagram account, she was immediately suspended without pay and urged by a union representative to seek other employment.On September 13, Kuenzle filed a lawsuit against Englewood Health, Dr. Jung, and others, alleging religious discrimination based on her Christian faith, retaliation for whistleblowing under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, and creation of a hostile work environment.Thankfully, just two days after filing, Lexi was reinstated to her position with full back pay, and Dr. Jung resigned from his role as a bariatric surgeon at the hospital. But Lexi is moving forward with the lawsuit.On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn invited Lexi to share her deepest concerns over what the scandal has revealed about our current state of health care. — (@) “What if a patient comes into the hospital, and, you know, they’re wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt or any type of shirt that the doctor does not agree with? Now we raise the question: Is this patient going to be treated the same?” she tells Glenn.Lexi’s comments remind Glenn of a story from 1981. “I often think of what Reagan said after he was shot. He’s on the table; he’s almost dead … and right as they’re putting him under, he says, ‘Hang on just a second. I’m assuming all of you are Republicans,’ and the Democrat main doctor said, ‘Sir, we are all Republicans today.”’“That is the way we should be,” he says.Nobody in need of medical care, he argues, should ever have to ask the question: “Because you politically differ from me, am I less than a human being? Am I less of an important patient to you because of my political stance?”“Exactly. This is way beyond politics,” says Lexi.“I am so proud of you and so pleased to be able to say good job. I mean, that took real guts,” says Glenn.To hear the full interview, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced an investigation into the cancellation of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show over the host's comments about the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination. Kimmel suggested that Tyler Robinson was a supporter of the "Make America Great Again" movement in the opening monologue of his show on Monday. By Wednesday, the ABC television network announced it would pull the show indefinitely after Nexstar Media Group said it was pre-empting the show on stations it owned. 'Late-night talk show hosts should be able to speak freely and give their opinions. The free press is under attack.' Democrats and other critics of President Donald Trump have since claimed that Kimmel's firing was politically motivated and point to comments from the head of the Federal Communications Commission against Kimmel. On Thursday, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat of the Oversight Committee, announced the investigation. "We must condemn all political violence," he wrote on social media. "But recent threats from this Administration are an attack on the media and the First Amendment. Late-night talk show hosts should be able to speak freely and give their opinions. The free press is under attack."Garcia sent letters to ABC as well as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr about the investigation. Critics claim that Kimmel made the comments in the context of a joke and defended him on that basis. "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said in the monologue.

"These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead," he said. Garcia accused the administration of trampling on Kimmel's free speech rights. "When a government targets comedians, it's not just comedy that's under attack. It's democracy," Garcia added on social media. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

At a recent city council meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, a local Christian man objected to naming a street after Osama Siblani — a Lebanese-born American who publishes the Arab American News and has made remarks supportive of terror groups.“As a Christian, I would like to encourage peace. I’m not just being, like, you know, pro-Israel in this and, you know, fight back and that sort of thing, but I would like to encourage peace and not violence,” the local man explained.The mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hammoud, responded that the man should close his eyes when he drives down the street to not see the street names.“And I think it’s quite hypocritical to know that you’re approaching this podium, when you yourself have videos on YouTube standing in front of my mosque saying the cruelest of things about Muslims, about the religion of Islam, because you are a bigot, and you are a racist, and you are an Islamophobe,” Hammoud said.“And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here, and the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city, because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence,” he continued.“You’re somebody who tries to preach it, but in fact, you do everything but that,” he added.BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is floored by the mayor’s response.“An American Christian going to a meeting, addressing the city council respectfully, was told by the Muslim mayor, ‘You’re not welcome here in America,’” Gonzales says.“We’re going down a dark path, my friends, especially considering Dearborn City Council and school boards are now dominated by Muslim officials,” she continues.“All the rest of us who are here, who love our values, who love our culture, who love our country, who love our founding principles, we’re all expected to give up our traditions,” she says. “But if you criticize that man’s mosque, you are a xenophobe. You are a bigot.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred take to news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

The new U.S. House Jan. 6 select subcommittee is putting on a full-court press to recover the documents, videos, transcripts, and other information its predecessor Democrat-run Jan. 6 committee either discarded or otherwise failed to turn over for two successive GOP-led Jan. 6 investigations.The new House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6, 2021, sent out seven demand letters Thursday to the U.S. Department of Justice, the University of Virginia, and five other contract vendors that worked with the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee appointed in 2022 by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).‘To date, Representative Thompson has failed to account for the missing footage and data.’“The failure of the former January 6th Select Committee to properly archive more than a terabyte of data not only violated House Rules, it undermined the integrity of their entire investigation,” Subcommittee Chairman U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) told Blaze News in a statement. “My select subcommittee is determined to uncover the videos, digital data, transcripts, and summaries the former committee hid from the American people.”The biggest request was made to Attorney General Pam Bondi for what could be a mountain of data from the DOJ.RELATED: Bobby Powell gave his last breath working to expose Jan. 6 corruption Photo by Samuel Corum/Sipa/Bloomberg via Getty Images “To assist in our oversight, we respectfully request that you produce to the Select Subcommittee all materials provided by the Justice Department to the January 6th Select Committee in the 117th Congress,” Loudermilk wrote to Bondi, “including all documents and communications between or among the January 6th Select Committee and the Justice Department.”The work of the GOP-led House Jan. 6 investigation in the 118th Congress was stymied by more than 1 terabyte of missing digital data, including video footage of depositions and witness interviews. Loudermilk said former Select Committee Co-Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) conceded in a July 2023 letter that he withheld that information from materials put into the archive.“To date, Representative Thompson has failed to account for the missing footage and data,” Loudermilk wrote.A letter was sent to Design in DC LLC, which was paid more than $2 million by the select committee for consultant services. Loudermilk requested all video and audio received by the company pertaining to Jan. 6, “including but not limited to video recordings of witness interviews, transcribed interviews, and depositions,” the letter said. The “digital experiences” company provided website and application development, Loudermilk said.Polar Solutions Inc. of Gaithersburg, Md., was also sent a letter requesting all materials from or to the Jan. 6 select committee. Polar was paid more than $2.7 million in contractor fees by the select committee. The company conducts financial investigations and provides management and training programs, Loudermilk said.The same request was made of PATCtech of Plainfield, Indiana, which was paid more than $400,000 for providing “high-tech forensic services.”RELATED: Restoration of military honors for Ashli Babbitt strikes back against a tide of Jan. 6 lies Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes appears on a video screen above members of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, July 12, 2022.Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images“According to Denver Riggleman, a former representative and a former senior technical adviser for the January 6th Select Committee, PATCtech was instrumental in synthesizing and processing the vast amounts of telecommunications data collected and provided to the January 6th Select Committee,” Loudermilk wrote.The letter asked for documents, transcripts, and cell data provided to the company by the select committee and any audio files and video footage of witness interviews or depositions.Demand letters also went to Broadcast Management Group Inc. in Washington, D.C., which helped stage public hearings for national broadcast; Country World Productions, now part of Verbit in New York City, which provided stenographic reporting, closed-captioning services, and advertising; and the University of Virginia, paid $60,000 to help the committee map out telephone call data.The DOJ and contract vendors were asked to submit all data to the select subcommittee by Oct. 2.The new select subcommittee was appointed Sept. 11 by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). Republican members include Loudermilk, Rep. Morgan Griffith of Virginia, Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas, Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana, and Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) appointed members including Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, and Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida. Swalwell served on the previous Jan. 6 select committee in the 117th Congress.Like Blaze News?
