When you were little, you had braced some of course of recreat, always in trying to negotiate, to exchange these cards of hockey, the bonhom, the bracelets, even of the collation. You know that each has a value,

well, before to have counted. And, and the things have not really changed. Negoti-tit-T-D you can't to renew with your instinct of negotiation.

With, without operation, gratite, no amount of minimum and any free-mensue. You're made for negotiate,

and the appellee-tit-tit-tit-td and fete to you add. Telecharge it's good to have you back. I mean, it's like nothing happened. You know, you just went on vacation and you come back. You're looking good? You're feeling good?

I'm feeling great, yeah. Refreshed after a vacation? Well, I think that's all you need to know about relief factor. I've taken it for lots of pain. No, I'm just saying, you know, you're looking good. And if you had some problem on vacation, you would have taken it, right? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, there you go.

There you go. Not a drug, but developed by doctors, you can get the three-week quick start for only 1995, 70% of the people who try it go on to order more. If you would have tried it and it worked, would you have gone on to order more? Yeah. For sure, but to be clear, I'm fine. So, drug-free natural way to get your life back. Relieffactor.com, that's relieffactor.com.

On today's broadcast, are you excited? I am. Oh, my gosh. It's a first day back, and it's just well up until we get to the economy thing. But that's late in the show. That's late in the show. the show. We also discuss the seriousness

of monkey pox. I don't want you to panic, so I'm going to warn you. There is a monkey pox segment on today's podcast. Hear it for yourself. You're listening to the best of the blend. Welcome to the program.

I am proud to announce that Park City Fine Art is still carrying my paintings, which is bizarre. Who would have thought that a year ago, huh? And I'm going to have another art show this year's collection. It's June 10th and 11th in Park City. It's free, but you do have to make a reservation so we can schedule everybody in,

and I do a tour for about 30, 35 minutes of the art and tell the stories behind all the people that are being painted. And it's a lot of fun. So join us. Go to parkcity fine art.com and make a reservation. Again, that's two weeks away, exactly the time when my house is going to be finished. That's perfect. That's perfect.

At what point do you give up this, this, you know, this radio thing and just do the art? Because, I mean, Hunter Biden has shown this is a career. And I think if he can do it, I don't think he, I think he's done with it now. He's done? He had one show. Wow. I think that's it. The passion for the art is gone?

Gone. Wow. Gone. Yeah. Because it almost seems like it had nothing to do with art the entire time. It does feel that way. Yeah. People might say, hey, your whole life's work.

And he had such talent and now just gone. That's really sad. Yeah, really, really sad. I mean, no one's saying you're no Hunter Biden. We're not trying to say that. No, I know that. We're definitely not trying to say that. So did you happen to see Bill Maher over the week?

weekend on his real time. On his last show? The last episode of his show? It is crazy what he is saying. I mean, it's all true and great, but it's crazy. I, I, I, he's going to get canceled. He just got resigned. He just got resigned, which was honestly, in this world, a surprise.

Yeah. That he did wind up getting resigned. but he's on HBO. It's a subscription service. He's been there forever. And he is saying things that you're not allowed to say. And his audience a year ago, it was a smattering of applause when he would say things. It was kind of like, I'm confused.

I don't know what to. And the people's heads would explode. Now he's getting the kind of applause he used to for saying crazy, you know, socialist things. Listen to what he said about the trans situation. Yes, part of the rise in LGBT numbers is from people, feeling free enough to tell it to a pollster, and that's all to the good. But some of it is, it's trendy.

Penis equals man. Okay, boomer. Remember, the prime directive of every teen is anything to shock and challenge the squares who brought you up. It's why nobody gets in. nose ring at 56. If you attend a small dinner party of typically very liberal upper income Angelinos, it is not uncommon to hear parents who each have a trans kid having a conversation about that. What are the odds of that happening in Youngstown, Ohio? If this spike in trans children

is all natural, why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them. amazing it's a nine minute monologue i wish i could play the whole thing it is he just dismantles it he starts with the gallop poll um and he says you know for people who were born before nineteen forty six trans was less than one percent that's joe biden's administration two point six percent of boomers, 4.2% of Gen Xers, 10.5% of millennials, and 20.8%

of Generation Z. This is not rocket science here to figure this out. It's not. He said, if we keep going, we'll all be gay or trans by 2054. I mean, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. This is really truly ridiculous. I don't know if you saw last week there was a teacher.

I don't know where. Every single person in her class was trans. Every single one. At some point, if that's true, then they're not trans anymore, right? That's just the regular way things occur. Everybody's born in the wrong body, apparently. No transitions. If you're, if everyone is already, it doesn't make any sense.

Obviously, when you see numbers like this, if it were, yes, you can make. the disclaimer he made at the beginning there might be a few percent, right? Like people who were ashamed to say something like that before or didn't want it to admit it to a pollster before are now admitting it. Yes, there could be some people in that in that boat. And to that extent, like, you know, that people should be able to say what they feel. At that, beyond that, though, like, this is obviously happening where people believe that it's the, it's a trendy thing to do. It's going to piss off mom and dad. the thing I see all the time is

when you look at these polls the number that's really high when you look at the polls are bisexuals and you think okay well the bisexual thing all right like how do you explain that and what you seem to find when you dig down into these polls are people who say things like

look it doesn't matter to me it doesn't matter to me I don't care what gender they are anyone I love now they all just happened to date the opposite sex all the time. Correct. They happen to be married to a person of the opposite gender. But they say to pollsters, look, I don't care. Gender's not important to me.

I'm above that because I'm this progressive vision of utopia that I'm trying to, you know, manufacture into reality. They're just trying to be a part of the times and, you know, this enlightened person. Exactly. When they don't actually practice any of that, they're not actually going, you know, Bob, I've always thought I was in love with women, but you are just such a handsome man. What do you say? We find a motel someplace. They're not doing that.

What they're saying is, I could do that if I wanted to. I don't have a problem, you know? I have no problem with that. I used to know this girl who dated guys her entire life. And then one day decided she was, she didn't care about gender. And she got into a relationship with a woman. And it lasted like two months. And then she went on to date many other men and get married to a man and have multiple

children with a man. And like, now look, I, as a guy, I don't know if this is still okay to say, but like, would not, there's never a point where I'd be like, hey, you know, a couple months, I'll give it a whirl. Like, that is not me. So maybe that is something different. Maybe that is a bisexual person. That is the argument.

That is the argument that, you know, you're born knowing that you'd be able to go anyway. Right. And so, and I've always thought that was a strange thing. To argue that it's, you're born that way. I don't know. It's like, isn't it, aren't you trying, like, you think as a product, you'd say like, hey, I want to choose this product. It's because it's better, right?

No, it's not. It's just you're just in this and there's nothing you can do about it. Yet people continually do the opposite thing for multiple decades of their life. So it's hard to really explain on that front. But this particular person, like, I don't know what, how do you explain that person? Is that person in a poll bisexual? I mean, yeah, they had one two-month relation. Experiment.

Again, that whole thing that used to be, oh, I tried crazy things in college, has now turned into an entire category in these polls. And like that is not what we're trying to summarize with these polls. And I think there is a, look, I think there's something to be said for two girls getting together. First of all, it's much, now listen, it's much more accepted, you know, traditionally, if you will, in culture. You mean guys accept it. Yes, guys, straight guys. Sis guys.

Love that. Okay. So, but there is that. But also, two women, they're going to share the responsibilities. You know, you got kids, you're like, ah, I'm so tired. Oh, you're tired. Let me, I'll take it. Guys generally don't do that.

There'd be no responsibility. There'd be no, you have two guys in a relationship. It's a disaster. Now, I'm just saying not always clearly, but. If cis guys decide to experiment, that's bad. Nobody's ever going to leave the couch. No one, no one will do anything. It won't be good.

It won't be good. You need to have authentic gay guys to make a household work is what you're saying. That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. Probably not good, but I mean, I just have had this conversation. Stu and I have had this conversation. You know, guys like the same thing. We don't understand women, but we'd never wear pants or leave the house ever.

Yeah. It would be bad. We'd never take a shot. It would be bad. I see this whenever my wife goes away for like a week. She goes to like visit her mom or something and I'm at home. And like the entire house, it looks like it was, it's in Ukraine. Yeah.

Like how did it? What disaster occurred here? Because you don't really care. No, I don't care. really care. And then your wife will call you like every 25 minutes. Are the kids still alive? Do you know where the kids are? I assume they are. They're young. Did you feed them today? Did I? Am I responsible

for feeding these children? I thought we were trying to raise responsible children. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Holy cow. Have you have you have you really digested how close we are to all of us either dying or turning into monkeys. We are so close with this monkey pox yesterday. Joe Biden said we should all be concerned. And I don't know about you, but I'm very, very concerned or not about monkeypox.

So we should discuss everything you need to know about monkey pox before we all panic and die or turn into monkeys. We do that in a second. Now here's the thing. Oh, man, I tried to sleep last night.

It's everywhere. It's everywhere. Every surface you touch is 80% monkey pox. That is, that's a science. Okay, so let me, um, let me just go through some of the articles that I read, uh, just to prepare for this show today. And I warn you, they're very, very scary. President Biden raised alarm on Sunday about monkey, oh, I should do this.

Monkeypox. It's a viral infection fast spreading around the world. And he warned that the disease, which can be spread as easily through handling a contaminated object is something that everyone should be concerned about. Monkeypox. Rarely seen outside of Africa has found in recent weeks a home in Europe and the United States. Stu, do you know how people have monkeypox right now in the United States? How many people are in the United States? 330 million?

Yeah, 329 million people have monkeypox right now. Right now. You have it. If you're listening to this right now, you have it. Really? Yes, you have it. Oh my gosh, I'm so worried about it. I can see it on you.

It's crawling all over you. The monkey pox. As of Saturday, 92 cases and 28 suspected cases have been identified in 12 countries outside of the African nations where it happens all the time. Poor Africa. They're like, it's a real panic now because it's no longer there.

When it was there, we didn't seem to care about much at all. Just hitting Africans. But now we're very concerned about it. There's been one confirmed case in the United States. A man in Boston was diagnosed last week, but public health officials believe case numbers are going to soon increase. And even though it's only occasionally,

fatal. The speed at which the monkey pox virus is spreading has raised fear of another pandemic that would further strain health services already stretched so thin because of COVID-19. And the CDC says there's no proven safe treatment for monkeypox. What are we going to do? Now, that's the first story. Then you get into the next story, this one from the Daily Mail, held between May 5th and May 15th. The Gay Pride, the Canary Islands Gay Pride attraction brings visitors in from across the continent. It was attended by people who have tested positive for Monkeypox. For what? monkey pox

this according to the public health service over in England the Canary Islands now investigating any links between the cases and LGBT plus celebrations among the 30 or so diagnosed in Madrid there are several who attended the event

although it is not yet possible to know if one of them is patient zero of this outbreak or if they all got infected there. There are two suspected cases of men in the Canary Islands, one with links to the LGBT Plus festival. I don't know

what happened to the two people. I feel bad. Yeah, they're out too. The double Q. They're probably all dead from monkey pox. I'm sorry. From monkey pox. And it's... It hit the two spirits first. Okay. That we know. Here's the thing.

The next story, three confirmed cases of monkey Pox have been linked to a homosexual fetish festival in Belgium. The Darklands Festival in Antwerp. That doesn't sound like a place you're going to go tell you, hey, what are you doing this weekend? Well, Mom, I was thinking about going to the Darklands Festival in Antwerp. It's just, you just know, it's not, mom's not going to approve. And there's just not going to be any hotel rooms available.

Both things are tragic. All right. So it's been linked to all three confirmed cases of the disease in Belgium. following four days of partying that began May 5th, according to AFP. The festivals organizer said on their website, the Belgian government had asked them to inform attendees that the outbreak was likely caused by a festival goer bringing the sickness in from abroad. So somebody was in Africa or apparently in Spain,

and they had the monkey pox. and then they started having sex with people and then at these festivals and other things that have not been identified yet they were having sex and rubbing their pox on other people that's what they're rubbing their pox yeah that's what they call that now is what has to happen

you have to have the open weeping sores you know and then rub it on somebody is that right it's great Now, the World Health Organization says it expects to identify more cases of monkey pox. That was weird. It was also the actual fat finger problem. You did the Homer Simpson. As of Sunday 92 confirmed cases, 28 suspected cases of monkeypox have been recorded, 12 member states,

available information suggests that human-to-human transmission is occurring among people. in close physical contact with cases who are symptomatic. So my understanding of the monkey pox, I don't have the echo on my. Monkey pox. Yes. Is that it's not a sexually transmitted disease per se. No. Like, you know, AIDS or.

Yeah, no, you could have it. You could have it and go, give me a big hug. I hadn't seen you in a while. It's close intimate contact, not necessarily sexual content, but like close contact with someone that's rubbing them where you know you've made you could have it with a hug or a kiss

or yeah so sex certainly qualifies if we would just say yes it does vigorous vigorous here's the here's a thing you don't want the monkey box

stay away from people with open weepy sores okay okay don't have sex with strangers here's one if you Is that a hard, fast rule? That's pretty much, yeah.

If you happen to have open weepie sores, you should go to the hospital. That's pretty much how we are going to get around this, I think, you know. Yeah. So it does it have to, honest question here, do you have to actually be showing signs of monkey pox to pass it? It's my understanding. However, well, I am a doctor so I can speak with great authority. on this. You won't, mm-hmm, you're not really a doctor of medicine, but you're more of a Jill Biden-esque doctor. No, I'm a, no, I'm a doctor of humanities. Right. Who's affected by this?

Monkeys and humans. There you go. So anyway, I think that's how that works. So here's the, here's the thing. It's my understanding that the sores are the key here. Now, maybe you can get it from kissing and saliva. Right. Maybe I don't, I don't know. But the point is here. We're not going to have to stop kissing strangers. We are going to have to stop kissing strangers. Yes, we are. We're going to have to.

Unless you want the muggy box and we're all going to get it. We're all going to die. Now, I think this is the important thing here. The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly voted late last week to uphold a scathing report that announced virulent attacks against LGBTQ people. regarding the monkey pox. It's apparently people are pointing out, I think it would be, I mean, if it's a fact,

I'd like to know where else these things are being contracted, but so far we know that those two places, the two festivals, one in the, in Spain or the Canary Islands, and one in Antwerp, both, fetishish festivals that's where it's coming from so far

now there may be other places but so far those are the places that everybody knows so it's not it's not really a hate crime when you're pointing out where a deadly disease is being spread

these people are so invested and obsessed with identity like this it's every everything turns to a race or sexual preference type of issue. It's just, it's just infuriating. But like my understanding, again, and I will say, it's limited. My understanding of monkey pox is limited. There's a limit to the knowledge I have about monkeypox. Well, we'll keep that in mind. So you take this of the grain of salt, but my understanding of the situation, correct me if

wrong, doctor. Yes. Is that. Thank you for that. I worked hard for that. You did work hard for that. Yeah. But it's not like a COVID. It's not one of these things that just gets spread in mass numbers from, you know, viral particles floating in the air. Correct. It's extended close personal contact of some sort. We would have to be if, let's say, you had the pox, which you're the most likely to have it. That's true.

That's true. If we were giving each other very long, extended naked hugs. That's, which I don't foresee. I don't foresee that either. But I would be one that went. Ooh, you've got open weepy sores. I don't think I'm going to hug you today for, at least for a long period of time. Right.

Minimal contact, totally fine. Sure, maybe just a quick hug, you know. But you don't want to extend that contact. No. Under any circumstances, monkey pox or not. Okay, so now from the Associated Press in London, scientists who have monitored numerous outbreaks of monkey pox in Africa say they are baffled by the diseases recent. spread in Europe and North America. Cases of the smallpox-related disease have previously been seen only among people with links

to Central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden, and Canada, all reported infections, mostly in young men who haven't previously traveled to Africa. There are about 80 confirmed cases worldwide. 50 more suspected. The World Health Organization said, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia reported their first cases on Friday. This doctor said, I am stunned by this.

Every day I wake up and there are more countries infected. He's a virologist who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science and who sits on several WHO advisory boards. This is not the kind of spread we've seen in West Africa. So there may be something new happening in the West. so they don't see this spread in Africa like this. So somehow or another, it jumped from Africa and mutated. Wait, is that what they're saying?

Doesn't that sound like? This is not the kind of spread we've seen in West Africa. There must be something new happening in the West. So somebody got it. Uh-huh. and then had sex, perfect cis sex, that icky kind of cis sex. And then it mutated. And now it's everywhere.

And your cis sex that you're calling icky sarcastically is the CIS, not the SIS. That one you actually do think is icky. The CIS one is, okay, it's hard to just clarifying our terms here. If you want to be a bigot and a hate. That's true. I don't know. Maybe that's not okay to say anymore. I don't know. It's probably not. So yeah, because it, my understanding, again, of monkeypox is limited. But my understanding of monkeypox in the past is that they can always trace it to travel to Western Africa. And they are like, okay, this person went, you know, they got a timeshare, you know, an Abidjan Ivory Coast.

Who doesn't? And right, you know, I've got two. And they went and they visited and they got the monkeypox and they flew it back on some airline. and now here it is. We see now two people have it because of that direct spread inside the household, and we're going to stop that chain and it goes away. That's the typical way multifact is gone. Not the way it's going this time.

Now, is it possible that the travel just happened to align with multiple fetish traveling sex parties? Don't know, but you'd be bigoted to ask that question. I would be. And that's why I'm not asking it, doctor. I'm just, I'm... You don't ask that question. And how dare you?

You're the same fellow that I think was talking about the Wuhan Labs. and the Jeddah virus, which it had nothing to do with China. No. Or the laboratory. Nothing to do with it. And you know what's shocking is in 2020, I think, or 2021, the WHO and the W-H-O and the W-E-F held a war game on the next virus, and it happened to be monkeypox. And then they did it again a few months ago, and they used monkeypox. as the global outbreak.

Really? Now, if that is true, which it is, we verified, if that is true, and they also wargamed the first ever coronavirus right before COVID, these guys, we should listen to them because they're genius. They do seem to see the future. They do seem to see the future, which is weird. And that is your monkey pox update. Be afraid.

Be very afraid. The best of the Glenn Beck. I am so touched at something that is, I mean, you want to talk about a real American hero. You want to talk about somebody who really takes action when action is needed. Somebody who exemplifies really something bigger and better than the greatest American generation. And that would be the man who, over the weekend, put together the very first, ever emergency food shipment from international relief agencies to help feed Americans. Can he drop some chocolate bars from the skies on his way home?

This president knew exactly what to do. He saw all the starving Americans. And the formulas, he said, we have got to prioritize these because they serve a critical medical purpose, and they are in short supply in the United States. And that's all because of greedy capitalist. Abbott Sturgis, that plant, closed down. We're getting a full 246 pallets. That's right. That's right.

From a Swiss company that doesn't put people, or wait, doesn't put profits over people. So used to saying that as a conservative. hit. Wow. So Operation Fly Formula was had and I think that's great. That's great. The single best part of this entire thing is they named it Operation Fly Formula. Like it's literally the worst name. They just describe exactly what they're doing. It's like, you know, Operation Desert Storm is Operation Go into Iraq and Drop bombs and stuff. What idiot named this?

People in the Biden administration. It is... It is awful. Sincerely pathetic. Oh, it is... You know, there's not a shortage of baby food in Mexico. Mm. You know, they're not...

Moms and dads aren't driving around in Canada. So what does that tell you about what the cause of the problem is here? Yeah, it's a fascinating one. It is. In Europe has plenty of formula. And we could import that formula. No, no, no, we can't.

We can't. No, it's the wrong label. No, it's the wrong label, stew. That is the problem. Right. That it's labeled incorrectly to our standards. The FDA knows what a label should look like. You want to just higgledy, biggledy throw baby formula at babies and let them eat stuff that

you don't have the right labeling of? Are you insane? But went through the European safety standards, which many argue are higher than ours. No, they're not. No, they're not. They stop in France. They stop people from having an abortion at 11 weeks. You think those are higher standards?

Can't trust those people. They won't let you kill babies after 11 weeks. You're going to just say, hey, here's some food from those kinds of people for your baby. Seems like the people who are keeping more babies alive might be trustworthy in this particular circumstance. It is just like you. Man, I didn't miss you for a second. Aw. Yeah.

By the way, food supply expert has warned that world food shortages now just 10 weeks away. But don't worry. Hey, seriously, we've got him on the, we've got him on the job. He's ready to go. We had any time, he's here. There's a, when there's a shortage of wheat, sure, we could help our farmers out. Sure, we could open up natural gas, which actually helps make the, you know, the fertilizer. Or we could do something to, you know, lower the price of diesel, which are trucks and our tractors need.

But instead. This president, he knows. That's why there's Operation Screw the American Farmer. I kind of do like that they're naming this the real thing now. It's actually getting to be helpful. I don't think that's a good one. Misinformation. So anyway, so it looks like we have 10 weeks.

Russia has blocked almost all ports, maritime opportunities to export food are grain, barley, sunflower, and more. A lot of things. That's according to President Zelensky. There will be a crisis in the world, the second crisis after the energy one, which was provoked by Russia. Now it will create a food crisis if we don't unblock the roots to Ukraine. If we don't help the countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, which need the food products. I think he was saying screw America there.

I think that's what I kind of heard there. This is why we are now, and I love this. I mean, I think this is, I mean, I don't think there's a problem of this at all. On 60 minutes, the Ministry of Eternal Affairs for Ukraine has tweeted, the U.S. is preparing to plan to, a plan to destroy the Russian black sea fleet. Oh, well, that's good. I'll keep tweeting. Thank you for that. Oh, my gosh.

That is wonderful. Helpful. Helpful. Yeah. Three U.S. officials and two congressional sources told the outlet that the White House was still working out the details for sending advanced weapons to Ukraine. They have, you know, logistical issues and the possibility the U.S. would have to remove a launcher from one of the ships to send it over to Ukraine. Responding to a question from Newsweek, the State Department didn't deny it was working on a plan to take out the Russian fleet. You got to love the State Department. Seriously, they're great.

As the conflict is changing, so too is our military assistance to deliver critical capabilities that Ukraine needs for today's fight as Russia's forces engage a renew offensive in eastern Ukraine. However, the Department of Defense issued a sharp denial of the claims made by the Ukrainian officials. I can tell you definitely that that's just not true, said a Pentagon's spokesperson. The Pentagon denial applied only to the Ukrainian official's assertion that the U.S. was helping sink the Black Sea fleet. So, you know, I don't think that's a, you know, I don't think that's necessarily a, because they're going to open up those ports, because they got to get that food out. Otherwise, I mean, our farmers are being screwed by our federal government

in a way that they're not screwing them. You know what I mean? I mean, their actions are not screwing the farmers. The farmers are just screwed, you know, and it had nothing to do with Joe Biden's policies or anything. It's, you know, nothing that has gone wrong in the past couple of years has added anything to do with Joe Biden. Yeah, well, other than they don't control the government. I mean, they do control both houses and the White House. Well, the Republicans, though. It is.

What's the Republican plan for inflation? Amen. Man, you know? When, why don't they do something about it other than having no access to power in any way? Right. You know, why aren't they solving all these problems? Exactly right. Other than the fact that the United States idiotically elected people like Joe Biden to do the job instead.

You know, I mean, that's the point that they don't, they don't talk about that, Glenn. So sinking the black fleet, not a problem. And now are diplomatic officials, you know, the same ones in the State Department. that said, oh yeah, no, we've got plans to sink the fleet. They're weighing plans to send a special forces troop to Kiev to guard the newly reopened embassy there. So that's going to be good. You know, let's send in special forces into the war zone. Let's, why don't we open up that embassy again, right?

I think we're all saying that. Good time for it. Yeah. So, again, shouldn't our response to all of these things be like, I don't know what you mean? where's Ukraine? What are you talking about? I've never heard. There's a war where? Shouldn't that be our response?

No matter what we're doing, we should not be doing press conferences about it. We don't tell everyone how much money we're sending there. Now, as an American taxpayer, I of course want to know this information. But our military should not be blurting these things out in press conferences. And our president, who seems to, who's seemingly in a. foreign speech announced he wanted regime change in Russia should never speak about this situation again, ever. He shouldn't say anything about it. All I'd like to know is that there's an accountant that we can trust, just one. Just one accountant that we can trust as we've sent over almost

$60 billion, which is $3 billion shy of the entire yearly defense budget of Russia. I'd like to know we have an accountant over there. You know, I mean, how much of this is being wasted? Do you know? Oh, wasted? How much of it is being diverted for other things? This is the most corrupt nation in the world. This is, this is on.

Yeah. With Russia and all the oligarchs, this is the same thing. We're sending $60 billion over there. Where's the accounting? Oh, God. I mean, it's lost, right? It's not even, honestly, like, I am not even considering that this money is going to be spent in a rational way.

Now, some of it will, right? Some of it will. We know we're going to lose, what, $10 billion to absolutely nothing. Ukraine lost $7 billion when we gave them $7 billion. Okay? Under the last, under Biden's watch, we gave them $7 billion in aid, and they were like, where did I put that $7 billion? It might be in my other pants.

I'm not really sure. They lost it. And now we're like that country. They're in turmoil. So I'm guessing the accountants have all run for their lives. And we're just saying, you know what? Give them $40 billion. You know, I tell you what, put a $100 million tip on top of that.

There's a weird thing going on, too, that should be addressed in that if you point out that Ukraine is a corrupt country, that you are somehow rooting for Vladimir Putin. Not the case. Not the case at all. No, I just like to know that... You look at the, the media does this all the time and they conflate these things. These reports of corruption are coming from places like the New York Times. They were the ones calling Ukraine the most corrupt country on earth.

Not that long ago. Now, that doesn't mean that they're in the wrong in this particular situation, but it does mean that you should be very skeptical that this money is going to get to the right place. And why is that un-American to say, I want to make sure that this money is being spent in the right way? You're sending it over to a country that was all but ruled by George Soros. I mean, the Biden administration, the Obama administration, Clinton, all of it, all of that. Every bit of the Trump dossier crap, that all was plotted by the same people now who are still in

Ukraine and we're just going to send them more money this is fascinating is when the Ukraine Trump stuff was going on there would be information that would come out of Ukraine that said hey this is BS this part

of it isn't true this official was bought off and the answer to the information that seemingly would clear Donald Trump of wrongdoing certain circumstances was dismissed because Ukraine was such a corrupt country that you couldn't trust any of the information coming out of it.

That was the whole argument from the left that it was the entire nation was so corrupt that any piece of information that disagreed with their preordained thesis was automatically to be disregarded. Now that the war has started, even bringing up corruption when you're throwing $50, $60 billion at the country is tantamount. to aligning yourself with Vladimir Putin. It's crazy. It's insane.

By the way, there's a really important op-ed written yesterday by Mitt Romney. I think it was in the New York Times. Basically, it ends in... No, no, no.
