things have not really changed. Negoti-tit-t you can't to renew with your instinct of negotiation. With,

without operation gratuit, no amount of minimum and noctu- minimum and you're made for negotiate,

and the appellate the application, and you FETT for you help. Telecharge right

right today. Today, let's pretend that your hosts of the podcast couldn't take it

anymore and decided to screw off and not do anything of real meaning just more fun.

If that's not the podcast you're looking for today, I can't tell you what happened

on today's podcast. If that is the podcast, you're going to love the Friday Glenbeck podcast that begins now.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Audio that came out from Jack yesterday. You know Jack. The nose ring guy from Twitter. Love him. Love him. He said something kind of interesting. Now this was released, thank God,

by somebody on the inside of Twitter who thought, oh, no, no, this sounds kind of scary. Listen to what he said. The full retro, as I said in my note. A little bit. We, you know, we are focused on one account right now, but this is going to be much bigger than just one account. And it's going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week, in the next few weeks. It's going to go on beyond the inauguration. We have to expect that. We have to be ready for that.

So the focus is certainly on this account and how it ties to real world violence. But also, we need to think much longer term around how these dynamics. play out over time. I don't believe this is going away anytime soon. And the moves that we're making today around Q&N, for instance, is one such example of a much broader approach that we should be looking at and going deeper on. So the team has a lot of work and a lot of focus on this particular issue,

but we also need to give them the space and the support to focus on the much bigger picture. because it is not going away. Amen. The U.S. is extremely divided. Our platform is showing that every single day, and our role is to protect the integrity of that conversation and do what we can to make sure that no one is being harmed based off that. And that is the focus, and that is the color we want to provide.

Now here's the thing. God bless him. You know, his platform is there to, make sure that the country doesn't get divided. Some might say that these social media platforms are the reason we're divided. And I commend him for the Q&ONN thing. I mean, that's wonderful. And I'm sure when he says we're going to expand,

he's going to go to all of the things that are also online that are on the other side of the aisle. Yeah, they just haven't gotten to the left. Oh, yeah. They just have to get busy. I trust him. Things are going on. Here's somebody.

Facebook has permanently banned. I hesitate to even introduce her to you. She's that much of a terrorist. Her name is Leanne Miller. She's the owner of, you want to hear a dog whistle, patriotic me. Dogs are barking right now. Leanne is the owner of the online patriotic business, Patriot Me. She's married, has two college age kids.

She decided to go back to the workplace after her last child left in 2019 in the fall. So she decided to be an e-commerce business via Patriot Me. Took her a year to get the products in the website ready. She launched on September 11th, 2020, and Facebook has kicked her off. but once you hear why, you're going to understand. Let's go to Leanne Miller. Hi, Leanne. Hi, Glenn.

How are you? Well, I'd be good if I wasn't talking to somebody who's probably a domestic terrorist. I'm anything but that, but Facebook, I'm not sure what they think about me. Okay, so what happened? First of all, what do you sell? What do you sell? Okay, at patriotic me.com. We sell patriotic apparel.

We have fantastic T-shirts and sweatshirts and hats that, in my opinion, are very benign. They have the word America on them or maybe the American flag or USA. Wow. So that's what I sell. But tell me about the Confederate flag and all of those shirts that you said. None of that. None of that. None of that.

None of that. And I chose from the very beginning to be not political. I, you know, and I think patriotism is for everyone in America and that we all should be patriotic. And I launched my company on 9-11 because we were so together. America came together that day. And I thought that was a really appropriate day to launch the company because that's what I want to do. I want to spread and reinvigorate the spirit of American patriotism. Wow, okay. So I should have led this interview with trigger warning because of all of the hate speech here of Love America and everything else.

When you're in the digital patriotic me.com and you know you go, you know that little room there where you go through the beads, you know, and it's the back room where all the Nazi stuff is being sold. You know that you have that. you're selling Nazi stuff. Stop with a constant sarcasm. No, I'm just trying to, look, I mean, the only way I can deal with it today is comedy. I'm trying to expose me, but there's nothing to expose it. I wish went through. That's what all moms of two say.

I'm at patriotic me.com right now, and I went through every single t-shirt that is listed. There's not even anything borderline offensive. I mean, the most defensive thing you could fight, no, no, the most offensive thing you find in here is like support for the police, which I don't find offensive at all, but that's about as hard there it is. Ding, ding, ding. How long to take is two minutes to find her racism? My daughter, my daughter manages my social media for me since 19 year olds are a lot better than that, than 50 year olds. And she put a Snapchat, a Snapchat out of that exact shirt. My husband wearing that shirt, he was in law enforcement years ago. And they made us remove that shirt. Take that

picked her down. They made us remove that. Okay. So now that you can't be on Facebook because love your country, support the cops, what's happening to your business? Well, so let me just clarify. I still have a Facebook page. What they did to me was ban my ability from advertising on Facebook. So for an e-commerce business, I mean, that's the lifeblood of e-commerce is advertising through social media. No, that's a fan. Right after that happened, it actually,

coincidentally was the day after the election. I got my first communication from Facebook that said my ad account was being disabled. And the only information in that email stated that I violated the policy of making everyone on Facebook feel safe and welcome. So that's the only communication. I have had from Facebook. I appealed it three times. And on November the 24th was permanently banned from advertising on Facebook.

Okay, but help me out here. I mean, Facebook, they're so easy to get a hold of. You just went to Facebook, you know, the contact us place and got the phone number and talked to a real human being, right? No, of course not. I was never able. I have a business development partner called Quantify, and they tried on my behalf. and I tried and we were never able to get in touch with a live human being to ask our questions.

Okay, please tell us what's wrong. Please tell us what we can change. What can we do to advertise again? And we're never able to get that answer. Okay. Now, audience, I'm going to let the shoe drop that I've known the whole time. And after you've gotten to like her and say, well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, let me give you the ad that she was pushing, okay?

Every time you purchase we donate a portion To the Tunnel to the Tower Foundation Great Foundation Great Foundation great foundation And then it's got a picture of a guy wearing a shirt that says USA I mean I can't I can't even walk into a Ralph Lauren store because it's so jingoistic.

He's got USA on his t-shirt. He's got the USA Olympic stuff. It's so jingoistic. Every time I walk by Ralph Lauren, I go, I'm like, I, I got talking. And then my head explodes. And somebody has to come out and get all of the, you know, pieces of my head and scrape it off the windows of Ralph Lauren.

So I know they banned him, I'm sure, from advertising. So, you know, when you saw that coming. You know, what's interesting is I still see other patriotic things on Facebook. You know, I'm not, I'm not sure why I was targeted specifically. So on your personal, on your personal Facebook page, and this is a sincere question, or on Twitter or whatever. have you supported Donald Trump openly on your personal stuff? No, not openly.

This is great. This is unbelievable. Do you have a theory here? I mean, because you're right, there are other patriotic shirts and other sites that do this that are not getting banned. Do you have a theory as to what has happened? You know, I really don't. It's a mystery. It's frustrating, but it's a complete mystery.

You know, I've been over it and over it and over it. I really don't know. Okay, so I've kind of. Go ahead. No, no, go ahead. You've kind of. Well, I've just kind of resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to, I don't want to need Facebook anymore. Good.

So I'm trying to figure out other ways to promote my business. You know, if I could get into small retail stores across the country to sell my product. I mean, you know, I don't want to have to rely on the internet. And so how would people contact you if they wanted to do that horrible? horrible thing. Well, on my website, there is a phone number and email, and the email is info at patrioticme.com. Please do not mention patriotic me.com. That is, that's free advertisement.

And patriotic me.com is something that should not be said on this program. To clarify, Glenn, you're saying don't say patriotic me.com. It stops saying patriotic me.com. I don't say patriotic me anymore. No, thank you. Thank you. finally some reason from the owner of patriotic me.com. My gosh, this has been a bone-chilling interview.

Never thought in my 45 years of broadcast that I would be talking to a very nice, seemingly very nice woman. Somebody, a mom who wanted to go back into the workforce, started her own business, was selling USA shirts and flag shirts, and has been banned because she's so offensive. That's, you know, you live long enough. I'm really scary. Yeah, you get to do interviews with Charlie Manson. So thank you so much.

And again, please keep it to yourself at patriotic me.com. Okay. I will not say patriotic me.com again today. I promise. Thank you. Thank you. Finally. And Leanne.

Thank you for having me. Yes. Will you let us know what, if there's any updates or if you get great response, you know, from, I don't know, doing shows and saying patriotic me.com, because I would like to, I'd like to follow your story, all right? I definitely will follow back up with you. And I really appreciate the opportunity to be on and talk about patriotic me.com. Not talk about that.

About what? Patrioticme.com. Have you already forgotten? That's right. You said not to say patriotic me.com today. Leanne Miller, I hope you get the chair. See, you don't get these interviews on Fox News channel. You don't. You don't get them on CNN.

You do kind of get them on MSNBC once in a while. Yeah, they do actually advocate the chair for people who have flag shirts on MSNBC, but you don't get it another place. No, you really don't. This is the kind of important work. that we do on Fridays right here. She's great, though. I mean, you're trying to run a business. You're trying to, especially in the economy,

the way the world is right now, you're trying to make it. This is one of those stories that if it would have happened a year ago, you'd be like, there's something we're missing here. Yeah. There's something wrong. Yes. You know what we would have. We would have been like, what's really wrong with her?

Like, what's she doing on the side that we don't know about? No, not anymore. But that's not the way the world is. It's not the way it is. I will say the best thing is that she may have spent, she wanted to spend money with Facebook to add. advertise patrioticme.com. But my guess is she got more advertising value about patrioticme.com today.

Oh, my patriotic, my patriotic me.com? Patriotic me.com. Oh, patriotic me. See, I don't. More than more than more than, I've already blocked it. I've already blocked it because it's so racist and hateful. Makes me uncomfortable. And please someone stop Ralph Lauren.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. the author of Killing Crazy Horse. He's written so many killing books. The state of California, if he lived there, they'd have him on death row, but the good news is they would never execute them because they don't execute anybody on death row. Bill O'Reilly, how are you, sir?

You know, I'm tearing up on that lead. Yeah, I know. I'm always way too gracious. Right, I mean, the fact that I would get clemency. that moves me yeah so bill it has been an absolutely insane week um and and people some people on the right are still saying it's not over i mean i i had this question do you really think come on be honest. You really think Biden's going to be the president next week?

And I've answered, uh, yes? I don't know how it changes. Yes. Talk some sense into what's happening. All right. Number one, I don't want to disparage the crew that you hang with, Beck, but perhaps you might go on a vacation and maybe not. No, I tell you, really intelligent.

people have asked because and I've been surprised and I think people all over the country have somebody in their life that is saying it's not over yet it is I don't hear that up here in New York I mean really I know I'm shocked

most people are incommunicado because of COVID you know so they don't say anything it's horrible and terrible up here right now but you know, look, there's an all adage. People believe what they want to believe. And that led to the absolute destruction of Donald Trump. So listen to me now. Donald Trump from the very beginning wanted to believe that he won the election. And so did many of the 74 million people

who voted for him. That's what they wanted to believe. It's like being nine years old and wanting to believe in Santa call. Okay, hang on. Santa is real. As we know. As we all know. Well, let me just say this. Wait a minute.

Hang on, Bill. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Let me get my no. No, it's my show. I'm going to say, you may not get this. Yeah, yeah. I want to, I want to stop you there, because I want to clarify something.

I want to believe the truth. I do believe paying out, can you shut the pile for a second? I want to believe the truth. And I don't think we really know the truth about what happened with the election. I don't think it was a fair election. That's how I feel. But what I know is there's,

not enough evidence to actually get in the time that we have to actually prove anything. And you can't run a country or a house on how you feel absent from facts. So I may believe that he won. I may believe it's in question. But I also have to root myself in reality on the constitutional principles. Biden is going to be the president and there's nothing I can do about it. And the best thing I can do about it is say on January 21st or January 20th, either before he's elected or right after he's elected,

what I've said about George Bush, what I've said about Barack Obama, what I said about Donald Trump and what I will say about Joe Biden. He's all of our president now. And if he fails, we all fail. That doesn't mean I support his policies, but I do support the Constitution. And he's the president. So I wish him well. Now go ahead.

Yeah, you can talk. You're allowed apparently. Anybody wants to hear it. Sister, can I talk now? Yes, go ahead. Billy, I see your hand up. Go ahead. Yeah, all right.

Thank you. All right, look, all of that was well. I mean, I enjoyed it. I think Stu knotted out. I like it. That's not what I'm talking about. So Trump wanted to believe, wanted to believe that he did not lose. I don't think he wanted to.

I talked to the man a couple of weeks ago. He does believe that. I'm just going to get a bigger point here. I'm raising a bigger point. I think he's leading to something here, Glenn. Maybe if he could go through a couple of. sentences before you. When you get close to it.

Stu, can you get a sock and put it in there? Absolutely, Bill. All right. So, once he signaled, the president's signal to his supporters

that he 100% certain there was a rigged election, then everything in this country changed. History changed, attitudes changed everything changed because millions of people got into the program as they say

and the election was rigged it became a fact in their mind a fact that's dangerous so i and i just want to make sure i just want to make sure we we point out that 70 percent of democrats during the bush administration claimed that George Bush knew about and was involved in the 9-11 bombing. Now, those numbers have changed since he's no longer a political enemy, but 70 percent. And he's selected, not elected, et cetera, et cetera. This happens, Hillary Clinton, she never stopped saying that she didn't win. She didn't win because of Russian collusion. the left has done this in every election since 2000.

Anytime they lose. Yes. But it doesn't alter the arc of history now. All right. And that's where I'm going here. So instead of saying to the Justice Department, President Trump, saying to William Barr, hey, look, analytics don't add up in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Nevada.

The analytics do not line up. We need to go in subpoena some of the voting machines and selected areas that we believe were corrupted and examine them. You can make it happen, please do. That's how you do it. Was it done? No. I think that...

Go ahead. Finish this thing. Instead of a methodical. investigation that might have led to a semblance of truth, which happened in the Russian collusion investigation. It took two years. It did happen. All right. All we got was Rudy Giuliani and others running around stoking the crew. I agree. Saying it was fraud. I'm going to have it. Next week, we'll see it. We'll see it. And we never saw it. And on January 6th, the day of the insurrection.

Giuliani again said, I'll have this in a week. All right, Rudy, it's a week's been past. Where is it? You don't have it. So that took on, out of control,

Lord of the Flies. How about that reference, everybody? Well, we were just talking last hour about this is one of the books that they want to burn now and remove from our schools. of course you, white supremacist, white privileged guy, of course you'd bring that book up.

It took on this momentum that led to disaster for the country number one and for Donald Trump secondly. So if it had been done with discipline, because I agree with you back one of the few times, I think there was significant. I'm using that word. Yeah. Corruption in that election.

Yes. But it has to be uncovered. Yes. So what Trump should have done was set it up so it could be. All right? Well, they were caught. Quite honestly, they were caught unaware. I mean, when I talked to the president last week, he said.

I don't know about that. Yeah. Well, let me just tell you. last year. Remember all the questions to Trump? I know. Are you going to accept the... I know, I know, I know.

You can accept, you know, and he goes, well, I will see if it's honest. He said that a year ago. They knew, but what they didn't anticipate was that the opposition, the corruptors, the criminals used COVID to do their dirty deeds. So let me ask you this. Yeah. If I think the world would be a different place today, if Donald Trump would have come out and if at that speech, he would have said, look, I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe. What we're asking for is 10 days to just have an open conversation in these legislatures.

I'll accept whatever they say. And I just want you to all gather here. and if you're praying people, I want you to pray for the Republic because this isn't about me. This is about the true, honest count. And if it comes back

that I didn't win, but there was fraud, but not enough to change the election, I still say that's important because people have to trust it. But I want you to know. I live by the Constitution and I don't want any violence, and

I'm leaving next next week or two weeks. If that's what happens, so be it. But I just think it's right and fair to look at this situation. Whether it changes the outcome or not, we have to know. I think the world would be... Could have done that in November. I know he could have.

I know he could have. And that's the problem with President Trump. You know, I'm writing a column that'll be on Bill O'Reilly. dot com will post it on sunday and the comm's going to list the things that he did for america that are noble and good and it's a pretty good list it is because all's going to address mitch mcconnell and a terrible game that he's playing um the republican majority leader in the senate for about what another four days mcconnell's playing a very dangerous game i hope we can get to that later. But Donald Trump has never been a disciplined man. He's never, he never, this is the key. And if

you read the United States of Trump, I hope you did, all of you Trump supporters out there, he doesn't calculate consequences to his actions. He never, ever does it. Yes, in the speech, he clearly said, peaceful and patriotic. That exculp, that's the, that's the, exculpatory words that makes this impeachment a hollow awful. Okay. Last night, I was with a group of friends, and yeah, I do have friends. It's crazy. But I was with a group of friends, and everybody asked the same question.

This impeachment thing, why are they doing this? And I said, it's twofold as I see it. One, to make sure that he never runs for office again and make sure the history books are very clear on what they say he is and et cetera, et cetera. The second is, I think, a smoke screen. They're going to be handling this right after, they say an hour after the new president is sworn in, they're going to be taking it to the Senate.

Well, they also have to confirm all of the people in the cabinet. And when you see what's happening in the cabinet, you don't want that to be front page news. And I think this is a smoke screen. get both of them happening at the same time. Your thoughts, Bill? Okay. So we at Bill O'Reilly.com tried to get a definitive, attutional, take on whether it is legal for the Senate to hold an impeachment trial when a president is no longer in office. It's divided. there are scholars that say yes there are scholars that say no so if schumer who will be the

senate majority leader decides or demands a trial there'll be immediately a lawsuit to block it it may be filed by some republican senators then it goes into the courts so the supreme court would have to rule on it. And I don't believe the Supreme Court would say it was legal under the Constitution because there is no wording for that. And in the Constitution, doesn't it say to convict and remove? Isn't that the language? He's already removed. Right. He's gone. You can make an argument on both sides. But here's the end game. And everybody knows this. he's not going to get convicted. You're not going to get two-thirds of the Senate to convict Donald Trump of anything

because he didn't do anything. And it's obvious he didn't. This is all based on speculation that he incited this insurrection. Well, but there's also, couldn't you make an, couldn't you make the argument that, couldn't you make the argument that the, that the Republicans are motivated to do this to

end the Trump train, you know, and be able to turn a page and look, here's Marco Rubio, our new leader, or whoever it might be. That's why Mitch McConnell is reported to be... Right. Considering this. You know, that's the Lynn Cheney.

Yes. Philosophy. Yes. But McConnell, and I don't like him, because he killed Kate's law, single-handedly, and I don't like him anyway. Right. I mean, join the club.

He knows that if he gets behind impeachment, the Republican Party fractures. He destroys his own party because half of it will walk away because they love Trump. They'll walk away. Well, maybe then that's a reason why he should push for impeachment because I wouldn't mind seeing that party. fall apart and have to reorganize. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Well, here she is, the woman who almost killed me. Nicole Arbor.

Hi. Hi. May I call you COVID, Mary? May I call you that? I either got it from you or you got it from me during that podcast. It was that for sure. I didn't feel anything until like two days after. Oh my gosh.

I'm like that fit, Glenn. I didn't know we're hunting wascally wabbits today. What did she say? What is this? She's mocking my... I believe she's a bit mocking your clothing. You're mocking my clothing? I said I like it.

We're hunting wastly wabbits. See, this is what happens. They deflect, they say, you're fat, you're ugly, your clothing is ridiculous. Right. When she's really saying, well,

we'll talk about it when she's not listening because she gets embarrassed. I get embarrassed. You know you're my celebrity crush. Stop it. Oh, man. it is. So Nicole, we haven't had a chance because, I don't know, world's on fire. We haven't had a chance to cover what was on the cover of Cosmo Magazine, I think late last week or earlier this week.

And it is one of my favorite, it's one of my favorite covers of all time because it just shows how crazy we've all become. We're nuts. Yeah. If you didn't see the cover of Cosmo, and I mean, I don't know who in this audience that could be. Explain what's on the cover and then go. Well, on the cover of Cosmo, and I was told that this isn't Cosmo US. I believe it might be UK, where they have people dying of obesity as well because of COVID-related issues. Anyway, the women are definitely not in shape.

And they're visibly not healthy. Stop being politically correct. The woman on the cover is like, imagine me in my underpants. It's that bad. No, no. I can't tell these back. She's screaming in horror. Look at how she just overreacts to things like that.

It's so obvious. Yeah. Yeah. Well, back to the story, Glenn. Yeah, these women are definitely. not healthy or in shape in any way. And the thing that really upsets me about this is that they think that women are so stupid that we will buy this as a thing, that there's no plus-size male models.

They don't try and shove this down the throats of men that you can be huge. And it's still healthy and you're beautiful because they don't, they think we're stupid. And because they've built insecurity into us, they as in like the media for years, like women, be insecure, you're not good enough, you're not this, you're not that. not to go all feministic because that's not my thing, but it's because they think we're stupid. So they're equating beauty with health. And those are two separate issues completely.

One has to do with science and one is personal preference. And they try and match the two together to continuously make us feel bad about ourselves in a different way. And it's just stupid. Like we can't be this stupid. Well, it's just, it's dangerous. It's not that they're plus size, they're big. The one in the leotard with her leg up, she's obese. She's obese.

And I don't care if you want to put, you know, a person who's obese. I mean, you know, the painter Rubens, a lot of fat naked women on couches. Okay. And back then, people thought fat was beautiful because everybody was skinny because there was nothing to eat. Yeah. But it's not healthy. And that's the problem is underneath the picture, the caption is, This is healthy.

It's healthy. Oh, it's healthy. It's a lie. This is a lie. And it's so disgusting and crazy to me that we're promoting this now when people are dying at the highest rate. And this is Science Magazine. This is heart.org. This is every major medical publication agrees.

People are dying of COVID because of obesity. That's why you gave it to me. You hate fat people so much. You gave me COVID to kill. me. AOC paid me. I'm sorry. Yeah.

I'm a sleeper self from CNN. I'm going to kill you. Yeah. Sorry. I'm really sorry, Glenn. I think I might have given you COVID. No, I think I wrote to you while I was on vacation because I saw you post and honestly, you got it like a day or two before I did.

And so I got it. And I wrote to you and joked with you that you were trying to kill me because I'm fat. But quite honestly, if I were in shape and I, I wasn't, you know, the size of a house, I wouldn't have had COVID as bad as I did. I mean, it hits you in a way to where you're breathless. And if you're already breathless because you're like, I'm even about a hamburger. It's bad. It's bad because you can't make it to the hamburger stand.

You can't get there. No, I needed somebody to enable and just get me in the car and drive me to McDonald's and leave me there. Stop it. It. You did not have McDonald's when you had COVID. Oh, no, of course not. Not McDonald's Burger King. But so let me just go on to a couple of other things.

The craziness at the Capitol last week. I'm sure you don't stand with the violence. I don't know. I haven't heard your perspective on this. Oh, yeah. Don't give me that look. Oh, yeah. No, obviously not.

When I said that, she kind of shook. her head and then look down. My eyes are up here. Glenn, it's distracting. Keep it here. Okay. Keep it going. Okay. Um, so, uh, tell me what, tell me what you think about the reaction, what's happening with social media. Where are we headed? I think the reaction has been ridiculous. I think it's time for our politicians to act like adults and on both sides. This is not working. So when something isn't working, you got to change. change what you're doing. And I think we've reached such a fever pitch that the only thing to do is chill. Because, you know, the Black Lives Matter protests look very similar. Actually, they looked

a lot more violent than what happened at the Capitol. But I'm not saying that this is okay either. None of it's okay. But it's because we're all screaming and nobody's listening. And we need adults to be adults now and make solutions. I think the only people I want to talk to and enjoy, I'll enjoy talking to, are the people who are consistent. You know, the people who can say, you know, I really don't like Donald Trump, but he did some good things. You know, I, you know, I was really against the riots this summer with Antifa,

and it's really wrong. Same kind of category of what happened on the Capitol. If you're not consistent, that's a problem. There's a problem there. It's narcissistically rooted. I'm just seeing a giant rise of. narcissism and like a pick me type of thing. So it's politicians and people and everyone's screaming for attention right now, not screaming for change or how do we fix this. And that's the issue. So

just be consistent and fall back and breathe for a second. You don't have to respond on Twitter to every freaking thing that happens every second. People are getting block left and right and some are justified, some aren't, but just chill for a second. Live to fight another day. The big fight isn't here yet. to me is the one on free speech. Speaking of this, Nicole, of people getting blocked on social media. My wife who follows you, she... Oh, hi wife. Her name's Lee.

Lisa. No, no, you may change that. You may change that. Yeah, her taste is questionable, but her social media accounts are pretty good. And she has this account at Lisa Page, made me do it on Instagram, where she took one of your, I believe it was a tweet after the January 6th situation and reposted it on Instagram. And she read it to me at the time.

I don't remember the exact verbiage, but it was nothing, nothing hateful, nothing, I mean, I know you embrace Nazis, but you always do that. So,

you know, it's a Thursday. Yeah. It was nothing bad at all. But just because she reposted your tweet on Instagram, they will not let her go live on Instagram. They've totally turned off the feature,

I think at least until the inauguration. Okay, okay. Hang on before you. No, wait, before you respond. Go ahead. Yeah. Thank her.

Oh, by the way, thank you for getting her off of Instagram. Good God. It's a constant. Oh, that's funny. You're welcome. You're welcome. I think right now that some of it is on purpose and just working in tech myself and being part of development teams.

I know a lot of it is algorithm right now. So there's giant nets just swooping the internet and catching anything that might be something. And they're not perfect. And this is where you. you know, people might expect me to rage and be like, yeah, they're only censoring one type of person. I know how these programs work. I think they are doing, you know, some kind of shady stuff.

But I think they're doing their best right now to just try and keep things chill until after the inauguration. So here's the problem. And I talked to a tech expert in London about a month or so ago. And he said, Google is incorporating now in their algorithms. And so is Facebook on their hate speech algorithms. critical theory and critical race theory. And so if you disagree with critical theory or critical race theory, which I, oh, algorithm, I really don't.

I love that. If you do, it not only marks you and suppresses you, it goes down to all of the people that have responded and are subscribers or, you know, follow your page or whatever. And it goes through them and it puts them into a, category that was described to me as infected. So I'm the host of the virus because I said something. If you saw it, you were exposed to it.

And so you are also going to be isolated. It's a frightening. That's crazy. It's really frightening. That's crazy. So I think those are actual questions we need to speak to Google about or Instagram about. And my experience is a bit different from. other people. I've sat with Facebook and their lawyers and, you know, their team that flags things.

And I would say, hey, what about my last four posts did you flag? I need you to be specific with me so I can make changes. And I can tell my audience about those changes. And they're actually pretty good about it. But I think that we need to open dialogue. Stop it. Sorry. Say the word. I think we need. Stop it. Say the word. It's about. Not a boot. It's about. Say it. I don't want any lessons from someone that looks like they're going to hunt Bugs Bunny. Okay. A doubt. Oh my gosh.

Her sexual desire for me is sickening. Just sickening. I just want you to be holding a Budweiser right now. Oh, really? Now she's putting a bud into the hand of an alcoholic. You can get me drunk, but I still won't go home with you. Okay. I'm sorry.

You just embarrass me. Glenn. All right. I'll take it. Two more things. Elon Musk. He, I do too. I do too.

He and we'd get the Green New Deal if he were allowed to be president. But I think I'd vote for him because at least he's looking at the future and he has the balls to say what he tweeted this week. Legalize comedy. Yes. Yes. See, this is where to me the censorship line has to like, it has to move. Yeah, I'm not a news reporter. I don't report the news.

So I shouldn't be flagged the same way that CNN or Fox is flagged when I'm being sarcastic. There has to be something in the algorithms that picks up sarcasm and poetic devices and literary devices. Or I can't do my effing job. Siri can't call my wife. No, call my wife. No, no, Siri. Call my wife. Siri can't do that.

You think Siri's ever going to find sarcasm? No. then there should be a button for comedians. Yeah. Like, you don't, you don't flag us. Just don't do it.

But everybody else is, is okay. I do too. I think Elon Musk, because he knows things are changing, he's part of it. He's doing things himself. Like,

I don't mind his green activism because he says, we're all going to die because of either tech or, you know, greenhouse gases. So I'm building rocket ships to get off this planet.

I love that. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I love that. I love that. Yeah, it's pretty great. Nicole, are you fully recovered? Yeah, I'm 100%. Yeah, because I was in shape. Yeah, because I was in shape, but also I ate super healthy during it.

And I have, this is going to sound funny, but I have portable oxygen. I don't know if you guys have heard of boost oxygen, not a sponsor or anything. But I was huffing O2 because I know that's what your lungs need when you get COVID. It works. Huffing O2. Yeah, it's a canister. I don't know what you crazy kids are into these days, but that's sad. Nicole, always good to talk to you.

Thank you so much. You too. I'm glad you're better, Glenn. Thank you. That's okay. That's okay. Lost four pounds, and I know that was your goal. You're welcome.

Good luck with the rabbit. Yeah. Thank you so much. God bless. Nicole Arbor. You can follow her at Nicole. Arbor, she is really, really funny. She's somebody, honestly, that my daughter is, I call her Lucy.

You know, she's Lucy Ball. And she's so funny and she's so smart and everything else. And all she needs is a really bad experience in her life to really center her. And she'll be Nicole Arbor. And I would be thrilled if that were true.
