Wow, starting January 20th, that's this Sunday. A total lunar eclipse or a blood moon that coincides with a super moon will be visible throughout the United States. That's something to look forward to. Starting at 1141 p.m., the full eclipse will begin. The maximum eclipse will occur at 12, 12 a.m. Monday. and the total eclipse will end at 1244 a.m. So be careful. Ooh, we should talk to Gary,

the numbers guy on these numbers and the times and the dates. 120, 2019. Ooh, one, two, three, four, 13. 13 is the new 11th. We should talk to Gary about the numbers. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow. We talk to Gary about the numbers of the super moon and the blood moon and the lunar eclipse and the total eclipse of the heart. Oh wait.

That was what's your face? Bonnie Ray. I can't read totally clips without thinking of the butt. Bonnie Wright's song Totally Clips of the Heart. Sorry, it's my fault. All right, we'll talk to Gary about that tomorrow because we want to find out how doomed we really are. YouTube. Get off your high horse.

Come on. So YouTube has updated its rules to explicitly ban dangerous pranks and challenges. Why else do I go to YouTube? What caused this? The Birdbox blindfold challenge going viral. I mean, I can't believe people would do something like that. I can't believe people would want people to do things like that. And I heard somebody say,

I saw somebody blindfold their baby and it walked into the wall. So what? The kid, babies walk into the wall every day on their own. It's just funny. You know, you're making fun of your kid. It's just funny. Would I do it to mine? Yeah, if my wife wasn't around.

She'd be a little angry. But, oh, just a dad. He's just a dad. Yeah, just a tad. I can't believe I have to say this, but please do not hurt yourselves with this Birdbox challenge. Okay, Netflix, maybe I give you a little bit of break for that. Maybe. But YouTube, I mean, we watch people smash their groin, smash their heads, car wrecks, everything else,

but we can't watch some kid trying to drive his car blindfolded. I mean, as long as no one gets hurt, if you watch the Dingleberry Challenge, Remember they drove with the car windows all being blacked out with the GPS. Right? They were driving slow and it was just like turned right and they turned right. They hit stuff and ran over stuff. And so, I mean, in real life that'd be fun to do. Right?

Just for fun? I'm not sad. I don't want to run people over. Most people. But, you know, you run into a light pole. That would kind of, you know, the city'd probably get a little mad at you. But you could do it out of it. the country you could have fun.

YouTube, get off your high horse. And just when you thought Alex Jones couldn't get hurt anymore, uh-uh, Roku drops him. A, I didn't realize he was on you Roku. B, he's hung on for quite a while on Roku. They've hung on.

So why all of a sudden are we dropping him on Roku? He hasn't been in the news. He showed up at the hearing, right, with the, with the, Monopoly guy with the Monopoly guy with his mustache and beard at the one hearing. Yeah, he was there for that hearing. The, uh, whatever hearing it was.

Gosh darn it. The Facebook or the, or the Twitter hearing or whatever. Remember when the Monopoly guy showed up and he kept bending down behind the people? And every time he came up, he had a longer mustache and beard on. It was great. So the, uh, deletion from the channel store, uh, over. That's too bad.

I mean, they need to get off their high. You know what? Too many people riding around on their high horses. That's what's happening around here. Too many people riding around on their high horses. Yeah, that's what's going on. Okay, so the big news story coming out of Florida. The boss made her work on Sundays.

Oh my God. What? So the hotel dishwasher has awarded $21 million after the boss made her work on Sundays. Absolutely. Now, I'm thinking to myself, good. if she, if that was her religious, she didn't want to work on Sundays and that was her day of rest and we go to church and family, good for her. The jury also found she was due $35,000 in back wages and $500,000 for emotional pain and mental anguish. Oh, I have one of those too.

Oh, my gosh. So they awarded her $21.5 million. Now, the cap on punitive damages prevents her from receiving. that entire amount? That's Florida. That's Florida. It's been that way for a while. It's been that way for a while.

She'll end up, I'll see, I forget how much she'll end up with, but it isn't $21.5 million. I know. I know. After this, call me. I want to sue the thing. Oh, yeah.

She said I asked for $50 million, knowing that I was capped at $300,000 for punitive. Oh, okay. I mean, still, though. I remember when they. They were fighting over that in Florida. So Marie Jean-Pereere. I don't know what her name is.

This is a stupid Pierre or something. What's your in Italian? She's not Italian. Marie-Gine-Pierre. Yeah, Italian. P-I-E-R-R-E. Marie-G-G-G-R-R-E. There it is, Italian.

Marie, the dishwasher. sued Virginia-based Parks and Hotel Resort, formerly known as Hilton Worldwide, for civil rights violations, because she made him work on Sunday. And she said, she told them, I can't work on Sundays. I do not work on Sundays because of my religious beliefs.

I love God, no work on Sunday, because Sunday I honor God. So they let her do it for a little while. This is where they got in trouble. They let her do it for a while. And then the kitchen manager said, no, you got to work on Sundays. You got to work on Sundays. I don't care.

Though then she said, okay, but then she swapped shifts with some other people so she didn't have to work. And then they fired her. Then they fired her. Get out. So she was, Hilton said, I bet this is a quote from Hilton. We're very disappointed in the jury's verdict. I bet. They lost money, baby.

I bet. And believe that it's supported by the facts. No, she said that she didn't want to work on Sundays and you let her not work on Sundays because of her beliefs. And now then the manager said, no, you got to work on Sundays, but they let her swap shifts with other employees so she didn't work. So technically she was scheduled on a Sunday, which the manager, you know, was happy with. But then found out she wasn't working, got pissed and fired her for it.

And no, that's not the way it works, bro. Nope. Now, having said all that, and everybody's like, yep, absolutely. What if she refused to make a cake for a gay person, a gay person wedding, a gay wedding? Right? I mean, we're all for this. But now we're all the up. That's right, right.

It should be. That's the way it is. but we got people in Colorado and people in Oregon that are their religious beliefs no my religious believes I can't make this wedding cake you got to anything else

I can't make it right we make we have to we have to or we're going to put you out of business and find you and close you up we don't even want to see your face on the planet of the earth anymore but this lady hailed as a hero well that's different that's a dishwasher

I want my cake If I'm a gay man, I want my cake. And you can have your cake. But if it's a wedding cake, I'm not going to make it for you. I want a wedding cake from Jeff Fisher's Bakery. No. I want my cake. It goes against what I believe in.

Tough. I'm going to sue you and you have to pay me and make my cake. No, I won't. Let's try this. I'll make you the crappiest cake in the entire freaking history. See, that's the deal, right? That's the deal. Long as you make my cake.

Yeah, that's all it is. So the guy, he doesn't, but the person, No matter what it is, whether he doesn't want to make a crappy cake because that's his business, right? Yeah, it's his art. He's reputation. So,

but really that's what he should have done. That's what he should have done. Just made a cake of cow poop. There you go. I told you no, but you're going to force me? Okay, no problem. Good luck.

Is that white frost? It's all white frosting on a big chunk of cow poop. Good luck, God bless. It might have been over the edge a little bit. So you were in the Air Force, right, Chris Cruz? Yes, I was. Okay. So a U.S. Navy submarine commander, he's been fired.

Oh, no. What do you do? I know. I know. And all just because he hired like 10 prostitutes to party in his hotel room. Is that wrong? That's what I'm saying. So Captain Travis Zettle.

of the USS Bremerton, paid for the women while his submarine was on a farewell tour of the Philippines last March. Oh, we got to be careful in the Philippines, though. So the commander is said to have bragged to two sailors at a hotel pool. That's the problem right there. That he'd ordered 10 girls to arrive at the hotel.

You can't brag, Commander. At the time, the sub was docked at the Subic Bay in the country, and one of the sailors then saw around 10 provocatively dressed women outside the hotel entrance later that evening. Did you see? Come on. Did you? The commander's boasting was then reported to the naval criminal event to NCIS. Wow, that's some snitches right there.

Right? They did not like the commander. Nope. No. Not like the commander. They did not like that commander. That's what it was. When confronted about the allegations, the commander said, yeah, I paid for the female.

Oh, come on. Yeah, I'm not paid for it. during the same tour. Now this is a separate story inside the same tour, which really kind of ticks me off because they're trying to make the Navy look bad here. But during the same tour, another sailor was seen with three local females

holding onto his arm as he was wandering around. So? So? Would it be okay if it was just three or four men holding each other's hands wandering around? Probably. You wouldn't be able to say anything about that, would you? No.

And a criminal person was, probe was launched. Why? Because he was seen wandering around with three women on his arms. I mean, we are doomed. That person, nothing really happened to. They just

reassigned him. He didn't face any problems. The commander, gone. Have a nice day. The commander gone. I mean, he's got the money, he's got the stop, he's got the cash, and we're good to go with the 10 hookers in the room. He didn't order any for me. We're calling NCIS doomed. We needed to get to today and I'm looking at, you know, tomorrow's Friday, fat pile Friday.

And I've got, I mean, the fat pile, I mean, the fat got bigger as the week goes. So let's go get something to drink in the break room. And we are going to, I've got a plethora of health stories. health is big. Health, diet. We're all big on that. We've got to lose weight. It's 2019. You're still strong in your resolutions.

It's good. Okay? So while drinking a Coke Zero might not be in your resolution. It isn't mine. Oh, my God. I don't know if I ever told you how good Coke Zero is cold. I have? Many times.

I have. Many times. I think you say every time we go to the Kula you take a drink. Okay. We'll go back. But it is tremendous. Ice cold Coke Zero.

And the regular Coke, ice cold zero sugar. Right now there is the caffeine free, which I'm being forced to drink these days. And it's, you know, a little disappointing. But that's the way it is these days. Okay, so,

stack of health and diet stories, okay? There's a breast cancer cells can be turned into fat. Mouse study. Scientists in Switzerland have made a breakthrough by turning cancer and mice into harmless fat. Nice. The development came after they treated the rodents with a combination of two drugs that are already approved for use by humans by the food and drug administration. One of them,

Rosiglitozone, R-O-S-I-G-L-I-T-A-Z-O-N-E, Rosigl-S-O-S-O-Sone, which is currently employed to treat type 2 diabetes, and the other Tram-T-A-M-E-T-I-B inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells. But together, they're turning your cancer into fat. well, your breast cancer into fat cells.

The mix of medications takes advantage of the plasticity or adaptility of certain cancer cells during metastasis, according to a report of live science. So we got that to look forward to. A first step for a family's biotech vaccine against Alzheimer's. Nice. Vaccines have often shown promise for certain patients. They've come with devastating side effects for others, brain swelling, for example, because we, researchers have been able to reliably keep patients immune systems from kicking into overdrive when exposed to the vaccines.

Now a four-year-old Dublin startup believes it may be on to something. The United Neuroscience Incorporated, and, you know, I mean, who doesn't read their weekly update every week from the United Neuroscience Incorporated? They haven't solved Alzheimer's yet. And they haven't claimed to. But in a clinical trial, show that 96% of the patients responded without serious side effects to their Alzheimer's vaccine.

The company calls UB311. Nice. Patients demonstrated improved brain function, showed a reduction in the protein plaque gumming up their neurons. We're doing better than the placebo on all these things, said the CEO. So UB311. 11 looking at a possible vaccine helping with getting rid of Alzheimer's.

Fantastic. Wellness warriors, they're obsessed with telling women what to do with themselves. This doctor is reported in the latest Marie Claire magazine. Who doesn't read Marie Claire? I mean, hello. I mean, I stopped having to come right to the house, but I read it. I buy it every week at the grocery store. They've asked that you please not put parsley in your vagina.

I know. I know. The doctors have asked that you please not put parsley in your vagina. I know. So many questions. Parsley can help to soften the cervax and level out hormonal imbalances. That could be delaying your cycle, helping your period come faster. And so if you're struggling to find a dish based on parsley, don't panic.

the most effective forms are said to be parsley tea and parsley vaginal inserts. For those of you thinking, wait, there's parsley vaginal inserts? I know I'm with you. I have not heard of that. But the magazine fails to mention, though, is that putting parsley into vaginas can be extremely dangerous. No. No, no kidding. Don't say that.

Rule 101. of vaginal health. And this is something, I mean, I think we can all live with. All right. Although I might want to go against this, actually,

now that I think about it. Because this is, according to this article, Rule 101 of vaginal health, do not stick anything up there that isn't medically approved or made for vaginal insertion. I think we just leave it

that right there. Just know that parsley does not belong there. Okay. 33 years. old man, hospitalized in Dublin, for treatment of an abscess after he has back pain. He has huge back pain. He can't get rid of the back pain.

And for, I don't know what made him think that this would work. I'm trying to see if it actually says what made him think. think this would work. It doesn't. This is just something that he thought, hey, let's do it. Why not? He was hospitalized

because for 18 months, he was shooting up his own semen, giving himself his own injections of his own semen. He wasn't stealing, and he wasn't out asking, he was out on the street corner

asking people for theirs, who's used his own. I really don't know why he would think that would help his back pain. I mean, there's just a ton of jokes. A ton of jokes and a ton of real-life situations that would prove that to be wrong. But we'll let you figure those out on yourself. Woman gets a whole pack of Tramidol stuck in her throat for 17 days. I had no idea it was there.

No jokes for that one, too. And we had the story of the There's another health story here Because that ties in to the woman that can't hear men's voices During rare hearing disorder A woman in China has a rare hearing disorder She can no longer hear men's voices A side note to this story

A man in the United States has a rare hearing disorder That can't hear women Who's that? It's a man in Texas In Irving Texas I know he's right here We should probably talk to him We should probably interview him

Her doctor diagnosed the woman with reverse slope hearing. Oh, don't you hate when you get that. Didn't you hate when you get that? Especially the reverse. Reverse slope hearing. You don't want to have the normal, you know, normal forward one. If you have the reverse, you're doomed. You're doomed.

She could no longer hear low frequencies, which include the average male voice. It could be temporary though. Reverse slope hearing loss, this particular one. one and this lady could be temporary. So we'll say a quick prayer for her. Strange, strange, strange, swirling patterns across a Kansas woman's body was a rare symptom.

Of? But cancer. Oh, no. Yeah, anal cancer. That story when I read it made me not look in the mirror ever again. When you look at the pictures of the last. Lady and her rare swirling patterns. Do not look at the mirror when you get out of the shower.

If you see some kind of ring or some kind of mark is very possible. It's not ringworm. It is not ringworm. And you'd be wishing it was ringworm. This isn't funny. No, it's not. It's not funny. A colonoscopy revealed she had, wow, type 2A, no cancer.

That's sad. It did not spread to the lymph nose, though, the distance side. So she, yeah, that's great. The woman sent to a dermatologist against her the rash could be evaluated. She relieved clinical diagnosis of that. That was before starting radiation and chemotherapy. So she's, look, she's fighting this back good.

But just know that if you, you know, turn and look on that full-length mirror, I would say, well, you know, you have to do that because that's kind of health. If you don't do stuff, then you end up with just a heart attack and getting hauled off to 911. I wonder who was that? I know. Who was that? People do that a lot.

Sounds familiar. I know. People do that a lot, though. Weird. You probably get help when they have, you know. Let's say, for example, I don't know. You wake up and you get a little pain in your chest. Okay.

Do you ignore it? Yeah. Got it. It goes away. You're fine. It goes away? Nothing else happens after that. Except for a couple days later than it doesn't go away.

And that person gets a heart attack. That's what that heart attack is. Yeah. But the couple days before, was a warning like, hey, hey, hey, fat man. Get off the bed. We're about to put you down. Okay, go see a doctor.

And I didn't hear that because I had reverse slope hearing loss. So you couldn't hear yourself? I couldn't even hear myself. Damn. I know. Colorado child dies from flu after not getting second shot. You're supposed to get two shots now? Yeah, I didn't know that.

A young child died of the flu of Colorado because the child was not properly vaccinated. The death marked the first child with die of the flu in 2008. A child was struck by the H1N1 strain of virus. The flu part. Children under the age of nine getting the flu vaccine for the first time are advised to have two shots. Ooh, I didn't know that. Children under the age of nine getting the flu vaccine for the first time are advised to have two shots at least 28 days apart for protection against the flu. I did not know that

I don't have kids under 10 do you no I do not could be the reason why I don't know that I do and I don't know that but it hasn't been that long it hasn't been that long since my youngest child is 11 oh 11 oh

so and we've gotten flu shots for them before I was going to ask you do you participate on the flu shots and I don't recall ever getting two. Is that every time or the first time? Because it sounds like it's like the first time you're supposed to get two. So far, this is the rest of the flu stuff.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment revealed on ones that the child received only one instead of two doses of flu. Children under the age of nine getting the flu vaccine for the first time. Right. So maybe someone like, I don't know, my wife took care of that. Her job? She did her job? Thank you.

Thank you. It's exactly what happened. That's why you don't know about it because it's her job. And we've talked to... She just took care of it. I don't want to know. I want to know. Did you get it done?

Thank you. So, apparently we also have a doomed, stealth disease. Stealth disease. We've talked about a lot of different stuff going on to this country and what's going on. I mean, we are close to being doomed. So this particular disease has been written off for years as old age. But it's really the disease that's behind thousands of cancers and joint problems. But nothing can change in science.

Nothing can change. Science, science is law. It's settled. The science is settled because nothing could change in science. So this disease, hemochromatose, haemochromatose, causes patients to observe. I know we have to say it right. All right.

So this particular disease, this. Emochromatosis. That's pretty close. It causes patients to absorb more iron from their diet. And while some has turned into red blood cells, excessive amounts build up in the liver. a stealth disease, which causes the iron to build up to toxic levels, may be responsible for thousands of cancers and disabling joint problems,

written off as part of aging. So hereditary is one of the most common genetic disorders among people of European descent, but it had previously only been thought to harm about 1% of the people carrying the mutation. But no. In the largest study to date, the team of UK and U.S. researchers, estimate as many as one in five, one in five men and one in ten women with both genes affected, were affected by... And another harmful condition linked to the iron overload.

I don't know what the other harmful condition is, though. This is scary because yesterday we talked about vitamin D killing dogs. Now we have... Emochromatosis. Killing people? Right. It doesn't say what... I'm a little nervous now because we've still got another...

It talks about what? Why are you nervous? I'm a little nervous now because they're hiding stuff from us in this story. And I just read it. And it just flows in the story. But what they're telling you is they're keeping something else secret. In the largest study to date, a team of UK and U.S. researchers estimate as many as one in five and one in ten women with both genes affected, were affected by. Emochromatosis.

And another harmful condition linked to iron overload. That's all. What is the harmful condition? What is the other harmful condition? It doesn't say the... Emochromatosis. Mutations were thought to only rarely cause health problems. You thought wrong.

Wow. People with the mutation absorb about twice as much of iron from their diet as those without it. Turn the blood. Red blood sales. The threshold of the body can't remove it. It deposits around the body, particularly in the liver. That's what's wrong. That's what I have wrong.

I have... Emochromatosis. Well, you have more than that. You're like 150. Now, yeah, I know, but this story... This story here, Gwanda Meccanerney, 72, diagnosed in 1987,

after years of feeling fatigued, which, I mean, I've been years of feeling... fatigued, hello. Went to set up the Irish Emochromatosis Association. So, I mean, how come I don't have,

how come I'm not getting the flyers from the Irish Emochromatosis? Association. We've got to, I've got to sign up for that. I've got to go to the website. That's two of the fat breaking news. Two of the fat breaking news as we're,

as we're laying down the tracks for the audio. That's old school, baby. What's the freaking news? Oh, sorry. Buckham Palace says that the 97-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth the second Prince Philip was in a car accident. That's it.

We don't have any news or more details to follow. At least if you don't have any more. There's more details to follow. We're out of this story, Jeff. Details to follow. Details at six. Something. I mean, we just don't leave it with.

with who's in a car. Well, I want to make sure if people are ready for this. You know, this is big news. He's 97. He's out there driving. I thought you were going to tell me he passed away. I thought so, too.

You know. Was he being chased by paparazzi like Diana? I mean, it was the whole damn kingdom after paparazzi are going to kill them all or what? The palace said that the two vehicle accident happened on Thursday afternoon near the state, the Queens country retreat in eastern England. So all he did is he's going for a little drive and bumped into a tree. The Norfolk police said, they responded to the coalition and two people in one vehicle were treated for minor injuries.

I bet they were. The prince just hit us. Ow! Ow! The palace says that a doctor examined Prince Philip as a precaution and confirmed he wasn't hurt. Yeah, well, anytime, if you're 97, anytime you bump into a tree, you got to get that checked. But the other people treated for minor injuries, shut up. I like this at the end.

Neither police force nor the palace will provide. more details including whether Philip was one of the two drivers. Interesting. Don't worry about talking in the other room while Chris is on the air. You guys just keep talking. That's fine. There's nothing but another. We're breaking news on chewing a fat here with stories.

So red flags to watch out for before you get married. So more than 55,000 single men and women have applied to be on Lifetimes married at first sight. Wow. Wow. That means we're doomed. Right? I mean, these people are signing up for these silly shows. Unbelievable.

Jessica Griffin, the sociologist. in her third season mentoring couples on the show, says we do extensive background checks to help their contestants find love everlasting. Our filtering for major issues such as substance abuse problems, criminal histories, and experts, then start to look for less obvious signs of trouble. Over the years,

they've identified several warning signs that signal that a person isn't ready. for marriage. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. What would that be like saying, I don't want to get married? No, I don't want to do that.

Oh, their ex is still in the picture. Yeah, that's bad. They don't set boundaries with their parents. I mean, they're critical of you and not in a cute, teasing way. You're not wearing that, are you? Does this make me look fat?

you are fat. They've always instigated their breakups. Oh, yeah. They're the ones responsible for their breakups big time. They put you on a pedestal. Why is that bad? On the flip side, beware of your significant other is always praising you.

It's perfect. You don't want someone who idolizes you. What? I mean, I thought you were supposed to put your person on a pedestal. They give you reasons to doubt their fidelity. Oh. you don't, yeah, you don't want anybody messing around on you from the beginning. You're going to dress like that or I'm moving on.

I'm going to go down to the bar and I can get anybody I want whenever I can. So those are a few things to watch for, but good news. Married at first sight. It looks like it was re-upped. You'll be able to watch it. You know what I've been watching lately? And I watched it last night. And it's so bad.

It's so fascinating. Like, of course, we've watched My 600 Pound Life forever. but they've got a couple new shows on now. One is a family by the ton. I think that's the name of the family by the ton. And there's another, there's another fat doc that's trying to take over for Dr. Now in Houston. He is not close to Dr. Now. He's not as good.

He's a little younger. And they, you know, they're bringing in patients and stuff, but he's not, he's not as, he's not as caring as Dr. no. Because people think Dr. No is this, you know, a bad guy. He's not. And he tells you how it is. you're 700 pounds because you eat too much and you don't exercise period and that's how you need to lose weight by not eating as much and exercising period

and if you don't have that in your heart to do then I'm not helping you we're moving on the other doc was it didn't seem like he had the hardcore stamina but I only watched a little bit of it but my the my uh the ton family or whatever family family by the ton I think that is with the title of it is. Oh boy. Man, oh man, oh man. It's sad. It's sad. Yes.

This is another breaking news story. This is another breaking news story. Two in one day. Please pick up that piece of paper I put on your desk. Two in one day, breaking news. This is from President Trump. Oh, boy.

Tours Nancy Pelosi. Oh, he finally responded? He responded. Nice. And here we go. Dear Madam Speaker, due to the shutdown, I'm sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excortion when the shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I'm sure you will agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.

I also feel that during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with. me and joining the strong border security movement to end the shutdown. Obviously, if you like to make your journey by flying commercial, that will be certainly your prerogative. I look forward to seeing you soon and even more forward to watching our Open and dangerous southern border finally receive the attention, funding, and security it desperately deserves since truly Donald J. Trump. Is this for real?

This is for real. This was tweeted just by the press secretary. The Love of My Life, Sarah Huckabee. Sanders. Sanders. Sorry. You don't want to give the hubby's name. No, because I don't recognize that marriage.

I mean, this is nice, right? This is what we want from. This is exactly why he is. I know. Sorry. Sorry, people, we don't get political here. I know. I know.

We don't get political here. But this right here is why people love the crap out of this man. And hate. And hate. Come on. You send this letter to. And then you go, dear Madam Speaker, come on, that's a slap in the face right there. Well, no, she's the one that sent the letter to him.

Yes, exactly. She started this. She wasn't going to invite him. And he hadn't responded yet. I mean, people, I know I listened to a couple of hosts, a couple of hosts, a talking heads. A couple of talking heads. And I know one of them, who's on this network, by the way, Mark Lemon, was a big on saying that he wanted the Senate to invite him. It didn't have to be the House.

No, it could be the Senate. He can do it anywhere, you know, whatever. And he was, Mark was saying last night he wanted the Senate and McConnell to invite him and just do it at the Senate. And, oh, man, we look at that. We don't have room for anybody at the house. You can watch it at home on TV like the rest of the America. Tough.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, I mean, I say he just wrote it it right down the State of the Union on a piece of paper and posted on his Twitter account and be done. State of the Union. More people will watch it. Or read it. State of the Union. Done.

And I don't even need a video. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean, more people... But he's going to watch video because he's Donald Trump. So post the video. Yes, record it. Pre-record it. Yep.

Just like you do your weekly Saturday morning, presidential address. Yep. Record your State of the Union, post it on Twitter, be done. There you go. And be sure to tag Nancy. Oh, yeah, you have to tag Nancy. And send her a letter. But come on, this is fantastic.

I love this. Pretty good. I love this. Pretty good. I hope it's real. All right, welcome to chewing the fat. And Stephen Baldwin was just talking to Glenn back on his radio show, and he thought he could get out of the building.

And I wheezzled him into the studio. So, Stephen, good to see you. Thanks for stopping in. I appreciate it. How did you call that wheezzled? Yes, I we wheezzled you. No problem. First of all, we got Glenn on the other microphones in the other room

monkeying around talking about picking peach fuzz out of people's hair and stuff. Now we're over here, chewing the fat. Being weasled. That's right. We're over here chewing the fat. Chewing the fat. Welcome to the Blaze. It's CRTV.

Blaze Media, New Deal. I heard you over there trying to hawk. I tried to buy stock in the deal. What, flipping share? Were you willing to buy it or you just wanted somebody to give you it? Look, I've been on the Blaze before. I'm the youngest, most fabulous Baldwin, brother. Okay.

No, you're 100%. You're right. When you're in the realm of two in the fat, I can make such accusations. Proclamations. Hoot and Annie. But, yeah, I was just kind of. Rubben Elbows saying kudos to Glenn just because the merger is amazing and it's going to grow and it's wonderful and you all are going to get blessed. Thank you very much.

I hope so. That's cool. That's true. The new film that you're out promoting, I was just reading a little bit about it. The guy picks up and moves to India. I mean, to guess you to do that, I mean, you have to have some strong faith to pick your family up and move to another country. True work of missionary work, like, you know, it's not like today. You go to somewhere, but you actually still have your cell phone somewhere.

Right. Right. You know what I mean? This guy was doing it when, you know, he had to figure out where he was getting the drinking water. You know what I mean? And so Graham Staines was an Australian missionary in India who was murdered with his two young sons in 1999 by some Hindi radicals. But it was really the, the shockway. and the after effect of that tragedy

and kind of how his wife and surviving daughter lived on and stayed there another 15 years. Fantastic. It was really more when he passed and Gladys Staines's wife said to the media, hey, this is what we're about as far as this next statement. We forgive the people who have done this. That was the headline for weeks across India.

How hard is that? I mean, for her it probably wasn't so hard. I mean with her belief and her faith. Right. For me, that would be very difficult task to reach. Let's not confuse that because there's a lot of people that. Morning's mourning and pain is pain and emotions are emotions.

But when you really have authentic faith, you're trusting God no matter what. You have to. So that really is what Graham would have wanted for his wife to live on and continue the work and the ministry and, you know, all that stuff. So to have this movie about. within global ministry circles, which is massive, as you know, within the Catholic Church and around the world and all kinds of denominations. But this guy is one of the very few back in the day that was, you know, one of the pioneers and walk the walk and talk to talk.

Good. And so the movie is based on that story. It's based on those events. documentary. You put your creative license on it. Yeah, but as I said, you know, then kudos to our writer Andrew because a wonderful Indian actor named Sharman Joshi plays this journalist, and this is what the movie's about, this journalist now gets an assignment to try to get the story on this guy and what is he really about, and is he really about a doctor being a medical clinic?

Because we really trying to convert people to Christianity. Right, because you had said that the deal was. is that he could preach if asked. Correct. So, I mean, how does he get people to ask him? Was he doing that? Was he doing that? Oh, man, look at that knee.

Man, if you don't ask me about God, that goes against. Yeah, this depiction of that now, the least of these as a scripted feature. And it's beautiful. Catch the trailer when you can. Go to leastof these. Dot movie.

It's not dot com. Leastof these dot movie. Okay. The trailer's right there where it'll be opening on 700 screens February 1st is all on that website. There's a sneak preview the night before on Fathom. All the information is there. But what's cool to me is all these years later, this guy's, you know, his legacy is so powerful. And I think our goal, you know, the producers, the writer, myself, the actors, a terrific actress named Sherry Rigby, who was in a brilliant

Christian film called October Baby many years ago. She's extremely successful. And she plays Gladys and Charmin plays this journalist. And in that, wrapped around and woven into that tapestry of the storyline of the journalist investigating him, we tell Graham's story. And it's great. I'm really looking forward to it. So you've got this in the can, you know, get ready to promote the first of February. Yeah.

And anything else? What are you busy doing now? You just wandering around doing nothing promoting this thing? You guys will hear about it in the next couple of months. I'll be announcing a veterans initiative I'm doing through my kind of a new humanitarian organization I'm launching called Humble Resources. Okay. And Humble Resource is going to do a veterans initiative, roll that out kind of big, actually. I'll be announcing that soon.

And then again, I just partnered with a guy who wrote a great book called Culture of the Few. His name's Brad McCoy. He's at a Pennsylvania and he's a pastor and he wrote this little ministry book about, you know, how to follow Jesus, but doing it kind of sort of the simple walking around, simple relational way that Jesus did it. It's called Culture of the Few. So he and I are talking about maybe setting up some events, but more in cafes and kind of, you know, small and more kind of intimate to do like, let's call it like a town hall. meeting format, kind of open forum public discussion of that idea, culture the few, the book, and those identifiers of that walk and the message of the book. That's great.

Stephen, thank you very much. I know you got to go. I know you're pressed for time. If this man snaps his fingers at me one more time. That's Larry Ross, Pastor Brown. I wouldn't miss with Larry Ross. But listen, this is fun. Thanks for.

I appreciate it very much. Thanks for roping me in here. Absolutely. I appreciate it. Weasel. Thank you. I had fun. Chewing the fat.
