New Alleged Footage Shows Senator Mitch McConnell Loaded Into Ambulance
'He's in a stretcher'
Is Mitch McConnell still fit to serve? Glenn Beck investigates Washington's silence
Senator Mitch McConnell was confirmed to have been hospitalized on June 14 for an unknown condition — but that was now weeks ago, and the people of Kentucky have received no meaningful updates about his condition.
Now, Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck is asking questions that Washington refuses to answer.
“Here are the rumors. And they’re rumors. If they’re true, they’re tragic. If the rumors are false, then somebody needs to step up and tell the American people the truth. Either way, this is not how a constitutional republic is supposed to function,” Glenn says.
According to these rumors, it’s been three weeks since the people of Kentucky have heard about the condition of Senator Mitch McConnell.
“His office has issued really carefully worded statements. He’s recovering. He appreciates everyone’s support. They don’t say what happened. They don’t say when he’s going to return,” Glenn explains. “They don’t answer even the basic question every citizen has a right to: Can he still do the job?”
“Is he still thinking? And this is not a cruel question, but the guy is a sitting senator, and it’s a question that matters, because this is bigger than Mitch McConnell. We watched America do this with President Biden,” he continues.
“Republicans are now the mirror image of the people they criticized,” he says. “You know, if your party has spent years demanding honesty about the president’s health, you kind of have an obligation to demand honesty about your own leader in your own GOP.”
“This is not about left or right. This is about representation,” he adds.

Kentucky governor makes unusual request as mystery deepens over Mitch McConnell's health
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has taken a dramatic step after Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was hospitalized last month.
On Wednesday, Beshear issued a letter requesting that McConnell answer questions about his health after weeks of silence.
'Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians.'
McConnell has been dealing with health issues and was admitted to a hospital on June 14. His office has released almost no substantive updates, leading to some speculation that his condition may be very grave.
After several of McConnell's colleagues and acquaintances reported talking to him since Monday, Beshear made a formal request of the Republican leader.
"Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell. As Governor — and a fellow public official who understands the commitment we've made to the people we serve — I am requesting the Senator provide an update on his current health status," the governor said in the letter.
"Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians," he added, "and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source. I wish him a safe and speedy recovery."
Among those who said they had spoken with McConnell were CNN contributor Scott Jennings, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.).
The reports led to some seemingly mocking posts.
"I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning. He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he's really sorry about how my primary turned out," Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky wrote.
"I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes yesterday. He said America needs an assault weapons ban, ICE should take their masks off, and that Gavin Newsom is very presidential. Then he said he was 20 minutes late for pickleball and hung up," wrote Saddam Azlan Salim, a Democratic Virginia state senator.

Other voices are calling for McConnell's office to be more transparent.
"We need the truth about Mitch McConnell NOW. It is unacceptable that the party who spent four years criticizing Joe Biden's health is now silent on McConnell's," Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck said on social media.
"What's the difference between that and what Iran's leaders are doing with the new Ayatollah?" he added. "Is McConnell braindead? Or is he chatting about Graham Platner and Iran? It is OUR RIGHT to know. That seat isn't McConnell's. It belongs to the people of Kentucky."
McConnell announced in Feb. 2025 that he would retire at the end of his current term in office.

Concerning new details emerge about Mitch McConnell's latest health scare
A new report from Punchbowl News has revealed new details about the recent hospitalization of longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Last month, news broke that McConnell was hospitalized on June 14. Spokesperson David Popp released a statement that day that said little more than that the senator had been "admitted to the hospital" and that he was "receiving excellent care."
The dispatcher requests 'ALS' services, which Thompson said referred to 'Advanced Life Support.'
No updates have been released in the weeks since. However, a Punchbowl News report released Wednesday revealed that McConnell was "unconscious" when first responders were sent to his home in Washington, D.C.
The report cited an emergency dispatch recording shared on X by D.C. journalist Desirée Thompson. Thompson claimed the recording came from "Washington, D.C., Fire and EMS dispatch."
On the recording, the dispatcher requests "ALS" services, which Thompson said referred to "Advanced Life Support." The dispatcher also notes that the emergency relates to someone who is "unconscious."
Blaze News reached out to McConnell's office to confirm that the senator had been unconscious at the time and to learn the current status of his condition and whether he has been discharged from the hospital. The office did not respond.

Punchbowl News reported that multiple senators, including Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), have claimed to have spoken with McConnell. Thune said the day after McConnell's hospitalization that McConnell remained "dialed in to what's going on" in the Senate.
Thune's office did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News about whether he has been in touch with McConnell since that time.
McConnell's health has been the subject of concern for years. The 84-year-old has apparently frozen up, tripped, fallen down stairs, and used a wheelchair on multiple occasions, including in early June. Back in February, he checked himself in to a hospital after experiencing "flu-like symptoms."
About 10 days before his latest hospitalization, a noticeably frail-looking McConnell required assistance from two men as he made his way through the U.S. Capitol to vote on a reconciliation bill, a photo showed. His most recent message on X was posted on June 12.
McConnell announced in early 2025 that he would not seek another term.

WATCH: Gay student says his middle school is built on racism and homophobia during viral grad speech
Video of a gay eighth-grade student's expletive-filled graduation speech from Kentucky went viral after his uncle posted it online.
Daniel Mattingly called Stuart Academy in Louisville "f**king ridiculous" in the crude apex of the series of woke insults he tossed at school officials on Thursday.
'This school is built on racism, sexism, and homophobia. I encourage everyone here today to stand up for yourself, even if it makes a scene.'
Mattingly claimed that officials turned down versions of his speech that were inappropriate for the event before launching into the insults.
"The theme that I was given for the speech was acceptance," the eighth grader explained to WAVE-TV. "A majority of it was just explaining that I see that people are going through trauma and going through oppression today."
He went on to claim that teachers at the school told him his speech wasn't positive enough and was too controversial. On the day of the speech, he defied them and accused them of being homophobic and racist.
"Apparently this school doesn't know better than to give an angry gay kid a microphone," he said during the speech.
"No shade at all, but I came to this graduation planning to give a speech about my trauma influencing me as a person, and black, brown, and mixed youth are facing oppression nowadays and being forced to fear their own identities," he added.
He went on to say that all of the school's students are "oppressed" youth.
"This school is built on racism, sexism, and homophobia. I encourage everyone here today to stand up for yourself, even if it makes a scene," he added. "This school is f**king ridiculous!"
He got a lot of applause from the students, and the woke speech got even more recognition after his uncle posted video online.
"All these teachers told me to speak from my heart for this speech, and I realized I shouldn't chicken out, because I need to speak from my heart and tell these people what they need to be told," Mattingly told WAVE.
The student told WAVE he didn't want to make the school look bad when he claimed that it was "built" on "racism, sexism, and homophobia."
Video of his unedited speech was posted to social media.
Jefferson County Public Schools did not issue a statement about the school in their district.

Thomas Massie files for 2028 political campaign
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky has filed for a political campaign in 2028 but says he has not decided whether to run.
Massie, a self-identified libertarian, lost the Republican primary campaign for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District to Ed Gallrein, a Navy SEAL veteran backed by President Donald Trump.
'This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position.'
"I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race," Massie wrote on his social media account on Tuesday.
"This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office," he added. "I haven't made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run."
The Republican campaign for the 4th Congressional District was the most expensive primary election for a House seat ever.
Gallrein is likely to easily win the seat in the heavily Republican district.
"The uniparty in D.C. finally found someone willing to be a rubber stamp for globalist billionaires, endless debt, foreign aid, and forever wars in failed candidate and Lindsey Graham donor Ed Gallrein," Massie said about his competitor.
Gallrein accused Massie of "burning every bridge" in Washington and voting against the president's political agenda.

Massie has been in office since 2012 and called the primary election an "inflection point" for the entire country. He also blamed campaign donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for turning what he said would be an easy victory into a loss for him.
"He was a bad guy. He deserves to lose," Trump said about Massie.
Despite Massie's recent loss, his supporters still have hope for his political future. Even during his concession speech the night of the primary, the crowd encouraged him to run for president in 2028.
