It's never too early to plan your summer story in Europe with WestJet,
from rolling countryside to cobblestone streets.
Begin your next chapter.
Book your seat at westjet.com or call your travel agent.
WestJet, where your story takes off.
Today, it's a sad day, quite honestly.
The day I return, the day I come back,
Stu is mocking old people and a senator, quite frankly,
who said, in his words,
not mine. Jill Wren looks like Wichinkgoo from H.R. Puff and stuff. And he said only old people
will understand that. It goes downhill from there. You don't want to miss a second of today's
podcast. First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply. The sad and ugly truth is that no one,
not even President Trump, but his incoming administration can protect you and your family from
ever, you know, for always being safe. You know, there are emergency situations that are going to
arise and how many times do we have to learn that lesson watching other people get hit.
If you think the crisis, whatever it is, won't hit you, you're mistaken.
And food is almost always the first casualty.
Everybody needs it and soon as things get scary, panic buying sets in.
Always be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.
Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do.
We still live in crazy times and you and your family could need it.

You're listening to.
The best of the Glenn Beck program.
Let me go into first what is happening in California.
The fires are still burning.
And, you know, good for them.
Good for them.
Meanwhile, we have Newsom talking about his Marshall plan to rebuild Los Angeles.
And let's go cut three there, please.
Over the course of the next several years, Los Angeles will be host to the World Cup.
and then the Super Bowl and then the Olympics.
With this rebuilding effort needing to take place,
is LA going to be ready for all of those global events?
All that opportunity and that pride and spirit
that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues,
but also the opportunity, I think, to rebuild at the same time.
And that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan.
We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA 2.0,
and we're making sure everyone's included,
not just the folks on the coast, people here,
that were ravaged by this disaster.
You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan
for the rebuilding of California.
What is that Marshall Plan?
For this region, we're just starting to lay out.
I mean, we're still fighting these fires.
So we're already talking to city leaders.
We're already talking to civic leaders.
We're already talking to business leaders and nonprofits.
We're talking to labor leaders.
We're starting to organize how we can put together
a collection of individuals on philanthropy for recovery,
how we can organize the region,
how we can make sure that we are seeking
federal assistance for the Olympics more broadly, but also federal assistance for the recovery efforts
and how we can galvanize the community.
Okay, so I'm glad he's talking about the future. This brings us to
Mike Johnson, something that I haven't talked about, had a chance to talk about yet. He wants
to put some restrictions. His aid proposal for California is that he's trying to put conditions
on the AIDS sent to California.
And people are saying, that's insane.
You don't do that.
Where is your compassion?
I want to talk to you about how compassion is sometimes difficult.
Compassion, true compassion, is sometimes the hardest thing to muster.
Because you want to give until you can't give anymore.
You want to help.
You want to be there.
but you have an alcoholic in California.
California is the political system is an alcoholic,
and it is destroying the entire state.
And you don't say when an alcoholic is suddenly, you know, in the hospital or, you know, really, really down and, you know, out on the streets,
you know what, I'm going to give you all the money you need to get back into your house.
Because the alcoholic will spend that and just end up in the same place, if not worse.
Sometimes you have to have tough love.
You know this with your family.
Any kind of aid that goes to California, I think it is only responsible to aid the people as quickly as possible.
aid the homeowners as quickly as possible.
Help them make sure that they have a place to go.
Make sure that they, you know, like the government wasn't doing in North Carolina,
making sure that they have hotel rooms for as long as they need them within reason.
Now, within reason, many of these people are wildly wealthy.
some are very poor.
There needs to be some understanding that the wildly wealthy,
you know, we're not going to put you up at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
That's just the way it is. Sorry.
But we're going to help the people.
But when it comes to the state, if they cannot admit that this is not climate change,
that this happened because of,
their policies, if they cannot admit that, they shouldn't get a dime.
I'm a taxpayer.
I want to help California, just like I want to help all the other states when they have
a problem that they cannot handle, that is too big for their state.
But they took all of their resources.
And honestly, you could make the case.
I'm not, but you could make the case.
This was intentional sabotage.
Now, I want to tell you about the threefold problem in California as I see it.
There are three things that are happening in California.
One, the Santa Ana wins, low humidity, and uncleared brush always causes fires.
Always.
they are known to cause fires.
They have been known throughout history.
Do you know why the great redwoods and the sequoias have grown for a thousand years?
Do you know how those trees got so big?
They're in California.
How is that possible?
How have they not been wiped out by fire?
We've got to protect the sequoias, do we?
You know that the sap in sequoias is fire retardant?
That's why they can grow for a thousand years.
God gave them.
God knew.
There'd be fires in California.
Those trees have fire retardant as part of their life's blood.
That's why they haven't burned down over and over and over again.
Normal trees don't have that.
That's why fires burn all the time.
and if you don't have regular maintenance on your forests and on your property,
you are going to have a brush fire, and a brush fire turns into a forest fire.
And if you add 75 to 100 mile an hour winds, you could burn down the entire state,
except it seems for the sequoias and the redwoods.
what this government of California has done has stopped people in the name of the good of the forest and the good of the land is to deny science.
They have been denying science for decades.
They have been playing God for over a century.
They want to tell you that a woman can be a man and a man can be a woman and a man can have a baby.
That's not true. That's denying science. To say that we can prevent the forest fires is a lie. That is as arrogant as saying we can change the weather. Now, don't think our government and governments all over the world aren't trying to change the weather. But let me ask you honestly, how do you think that's going to work out in the end? How do you think cloud seeding?
and putting gases and different things up into the atmosphere,
or giant shades in space to block the sun,
how do you think that's going to work out in the end?
Well?
Or will it end the same way our arrogance always ends?
There are things that we can do to mitigate natural occurrences.
For instance, if you were...
Let's say you got on December 2nd.
Can we get that weather warning up from the National Weather Service?
It's January 2nd.
Next Tuesday through Thursday, January 7th through the 9th,
a chance of moderate to strong Santa Ana wins.
This is from the National Weather Service.
Ready set go.
Ready for wildfire.org.
impacts extreme fire growth, behavior possible if a fire starts and power outages,
use extra caution with potential fire sources.
Now, this was added the week before the fires.
Now, that's the National Weather Service giving a warning to the people of California.
You can bet that government agency let other government agencies,
know at the same time. It just didn't go out to your house. It went out to everybody's house.
It went to the firehouses. It went to the governor's house. It went to the mayor's house.
They knew in advance. So let me ask you, in a non-progressive state, what would somebody like
Ronda Santis do? What do we do for hurricanes? Hurricanes are like fires in California.
you know you're going to have them every single year.
Am I wrong?
Okay.
If you have them and you get a warning, one is potentially coming that could be record-setting.
What do you do?
Well, I'll tell you what a non-progressive state, like Florida, with a governor who is embracing reality,
what he does is he pre-positions all of the utility trucks.
He pre-positions all of the life-saving trucks.
He makes sure that we have plenty of chainsaws.
He makes sure that the state is ready and literally waiting.
So what should Gavin Newsom have done?
When he got that warning, a hundred-year warning of a fire,
He should have said, make sure all the reservoirs are full.
Make sure that we have all of the fire trucks positioned.
Put them in the high-risk areas.
Just let them sit there.
Have the firemen sit there in really dangerous areas.
Make sure that if you see a fire or smoke, that thing is out right away.
You can't get up these hills with fire equipment,
if you've ever been to California.
It's honestly like navigating the Appalachia.
It's like going to North Carolina.
Why were so many people trapped?
Because it's impossible to navigate those hills and those mountains quickly.
The same thing in California.
Did they do that?
No.
Did they make sure that they had things in advance?
No.
what is the one given if you're living in California?
What is the one thing that you know is going to happen in California besides political insanity?
You know there's a chance of an earthquake.
So what do you do?
You build your building stronger, right?
You know that there's a chance of a mudslide.
So what do you do?
You make sure that you have your foundations deep.
But then you also, when you buy it, no.
I'm gambling here. My house could slide down the side of this mountain. You're charged extra for
insurance. But the one thing you know is going to happen every year is fire. Why wouldn't California
be the number one fire ready and resistant area in the United States? Let me tell you about
Jace Medical has kind of been a terrifying past several months.
At least when it comes to summer, blockbuster-level disasters from wildfires to hurricanes,
C to shining sea, we've witnessed the danger that nature and mismanagement can bring.
How many times last year and this year, so far, have people been stranded without access to medications that they might need?
That doesn't have to be your family or you because you know about it, and hopefully you have the Jace case by now.
It is a simple, reliable emergency supply of life-saving medications to put the control into your hands.
There's no way to prepare for literally every single thing that can go wrong,
but there's lots of ways to prepare for everything you know could go wrong.
The Jace case is a must-have for that.
This isn't about fear.
It's about responsibility.
Being prepared, California, is the best way to protect your family and your future.
Don't wait for the next headline to wake you up.
Don't wait for the government to do the right thing.
You do it.

Now back to the podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
As the gods of the have copybook headings
limp up to explain once more that fire will certainly burn us.
and water will wet us.
They could learn that in California.
We have Brian Fennessee.
He is the Orange County, California Fire Chief, to tell us a little about what's going on.
And how is Orange County doing, Brian?
Welcome to the program.
Hey, thank you very much.
A little bit about the fires just across a few miles from here in L.A.
They, you know, they're not spreading as they were.
I think both are kind of at a stable position, but there's certainly a lot of heat, you know, in those and on those fires in the new wind event, albeit not, you know, 80 miles an hour, 100 mile an hour, gusts are still very concerning.
So those fires are going to be wind tested.
Here in Orange County, it's just howling.
It's blowing hard.
It was all last week, and I think we here dodged a bullet, but we're expecting that for another couple days.
and I'm told there might be another San Anand Wind event forecasted for next week.
So we sure can't stand much more.
Brian, this is totally predictable.
Was it not totally predictable?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
You know, when I started back in 1978, we'd usually have a few days notice.
You know, meteorology is not what it is today.
We start to get notified about 10 days out.
And then confidence builds at 7 days.
days and then when you're about four days out, we're pretty sure, you know, what's going to expect.
So, yes, forecasting and predicting is far better than it's different.
So what should have been done in those four days before the fryer broke out?
Well, I'll tell you what was done.
And, you know, we have a program called pre-positioning that about six years ago, the fire chiefs in the state got the state of California to fund to put money behind this pre-positioning.
positioning, meaning if we go through a matrix, you know, county by county, and we meet certain
criteria, I mean, there's a number of things.
We are approved for preposition funding, which means I can bring on additional aircraft,
additional bulldozers, engines, and the state will pay for them so that not only are
all my stations filled and ready to go, but I might have two or three more strike teams,
Strike Team 5 engines. I might have additional helicopters, dispatch staff.
So all of the Southern California counties were approved for prepositioning.
And so we had, you know, definitely extra resources available should they be needed.
And certainly they were deployed very, very quickly.
So, but that's Orange County.
No, no, that's it. That's every county.
It's every county in the state is eligible for it.
But each county has to go through this matrix to meet it.
And so I don't know for sure, but I would expect that Santa Barbara County South were all approved for preposition funding.
And quite frankly, here in Orange County, and when I was the fire chief in San Diego City, we didn't wait for prepositioning.
If this weather was going to surface, we're going to staff up.
And if we go over budget, we go over budget.
You know, our job is to protect our communities.
And the mayor I worked for at the time understood that.
So it's nice to be reimbursed for it.
But that's not a necessity.
We're going to staff up even beyond what the state approves if we believe we need to do that.
Yeah.
So as we're watching this from Texas and all around the country, it seems as though it was, A, known that it was going to happen.
This is routine.
You expect the Santa Ana wins every year.
You expect forest fires and brush fires in California every year.
So this was just one of the really bad ones.
then it seems like incompetence of cutting the funding for the fire agencies,
not really truly being prepared.
And then on top of it, it seems incompetence to a level that is almost criminal.
And then the third part of this, as we see it, as I see it, is there might be some actors
after the main fire started that are also, you know, setting fires, what their, what their
motives are are yet unknown, but there are also some arsonists involved in that. Do I have that
picture right? You know, and maybe totally, I don't know for sure, but I will tell you this, that,
you know, I've lived in, I grew up in Altadena, and that's one of the towns is pretty well wiped out.
And so, you know, when you live that close to the foothills, you're used to San Anna wins. You know
they're common, and they can be brutal right there in the foothills. And it's not uncommon for a strong,
we'd consider a strong Santa Ana. It'd be 40, 50, 50-mile-hour winds, steady with Gus, maybe to 60-70.
The event that was experienced last week, and you know this, was 60-70 steady with Gus to 90-100.
Something like that. I mean, we have a hard time dealing with the former.
Something like that. You know, we're trying to manage expectations is we can't stop that far.
And I think, you know, many times, you know, the public, well, let me put it this way.
If this were a hurricane or tornado, firefighters aren't stopping those either.
Right.
And so why.
But they do pre-position.
You look at Florida, they've got the trucks lined up before that thing even comes ashore.
Yep, they're the best.
And, you know, they get disaster declarations in advance and they get things moving.
Right.
Florida is an amazing model.
And Texas is a good model as well.
But in terms of, you know, I can't speak for L.A. City.
I don't know what they prepositioned or upstaffed.
But I've said it to a number of people.
They could have had another, I don't know, a thousand engines,
and we weren't going to stop this fire.
Now, having said that, once the winds diminished and the fire, you know,
this was no longer a wildland fire.
This became an urban conflagration, house-to-house spread.
The fuel was the structures.
And so, you know, once the wind diminished to a point where, you know,
firefighters could get in there and start working on the structures, there were just so many.
I mean, I drove those fires and it was, and I've been doing this since 1978,
the mountain that it came off of.
I mean, it's been incredible for me.
In terms of the water, you know, I think that's being sorted out.
I'm probably hearing the same things that you are, that reservoirs, you know, may not have been
as filled as they needed to be.
Yes, a draw on the system can cause some decrease in pressure,
but I've never heard of anything that there actually wasn't pressure.
I do know, and I've shared this with people,
that in 2003 in San Diego, we had at the time the largest fire in California history,
we lost pressure, but that was because pump houses,
pump stations have been burned,
and we didn't know they existed.
Had we known, we'd have protected those places.
pump houses as much as we protect a house to, you know, to ensure that we had pressure.
So I'm confident the city of L.A. and I'm hearing that the governor is, you know, ordered
an investigation. That's going to get sorted out. That's going to get public. And yes, it could be
quite embarrassing and life-changing for a few people involved in whatever decision making
to place. Good. Good. We have to learn from our lessons, you know, learn lessons from our mistakes.
You are being talked about of going into the Department of Interior.
Oh.
You had not heard that?
Well, I'm hearing, I'm here in rumblings.
People have asked if I was interested in perhaps even, you know,
becoming the new U.S. Forest Service chief.
And I've shared with others that, you know, should I be approached at some point,
I would certainly consider it because, quite frankly, that agency is a mess
when it comes to firefighting, they, you know, the paying benefits for their firefighters,
their firefighters are leaving in droves.
They are so underpaid and under-benefited that they're leaving, you know, to go to work for state
and local government agencies like mine and like L.A. counties.
And this isn't anything new.
You know, I used to work for them for 13 years, both the USDA Forest Service and the Department of Interior BLM.
and I left as a crew superintendent.
I ran cruise.
And back then, you know, we were significantly underpaid.
I left to a municipal department in 1990, went to San Diego because of it,
and it's gotten worse.
And it's not managed or organized like a fire department.
And if they're going to be in the fire business, you know,
they need to be organized and led like a fire department.
Yes, they're a resource agency.
And yes, they have things beyond fire.
But if you look at the Forest Service budget, you know, primarily now, it's fire that's being funded.
And they definitely need some help with their firefighters.
Quite frankly, Glenn, they're going to be without a fire department very, very soon.
I have to tell you, it was a National Forest Service that helped save my neighbor's ranch and probably mine.
If we would have had high winds, it would have been over.
but the local fire came out and immediately the fire the forest service had already positioned
because they they looked at my canyon and went this is dry this is just a disaster waiting
to happen and they were ready for it and they saved it I mean they did great job there
they have amazing firefighters you know they do I spent 13 years on a hot shot crew so
so I know the business and you know I know the people that are out there now they're
firefighters are amazing. They're smoke jumpers. They're hot shots or engine crews or
helattack. Unfortunately, you know, again, they're organized in such a way that national,
they don't, it would take too long to speak to, but it's just sad to see. I mean, here in California,
I'm told that they're, they're, we're only able to staff their stations at 60% in my own
county. I have, uh, three, four service stations. And they could only staff,
one of those stations, two on occasion, eight to ten hours a day all summer.
Holy cow.
We had a fire.
We had a fire, the airport fire, earlier this summer that burned over 100 homes.
And the station closest to that fire was not staffed.
And so, you know, I made Congress aware and others aware.
And right now I don't think the Forest Service is happy with me because I'm being very public
about things that they should be very public about.
So would it be the Forest Service?
or the Department of Interior that would be responsible for getting underbrush cleared?
Well, I think it's both.
You know, I've worked for both the USDA and USDA, and let's face it, or at least out here in the West,
you know, firefighters for decades have done such a great job at suppressing fires quickly
that it's caused this growth and we've got an unhealthy landscape out there.
And, you know, we need to start putting beneficial fire back on the landscape.
We need to clear the brush.
But here's another thing, Glenn, those same firefighters that we're losing, those are the people that are going to do the work.
I know.
And so if you don't have the workforce to do the work that needs to be done, how do you get it done?
It doesn't matter how many millions or billions of dollars you throw at the problem if you don't have the people there to do the work.
but yes, I mean, we need to do something about this unhealthy forest.
And people are working hard at it.
Certainly Cal Fire is showing amazing, incredible success with it.
But we're years behind, man.
Oh, no.
It's decades of not treating, you know, the fuels and the landscape.
And it's going to be decades to fix it.
But we've got to do something.
And we've got to have a workforce to be able.
to do it. And like I say, if asked, and I haven't been asked by anybody officially, but just
informal people have suggested and asked, is that something I would consider? And absolutely,
and, you know, certainly pay is less of an issue. It would be a pay cut for me, but it's not
about that. Yeah. It's about, it's about, you know, what we as firefighters, you know,
have sworn to do. And we need to fix that.
organization. Quickly,
quickly, can I ask you, I'm up against
a network break, can I just ask you about the safety
inspections of the Oregon fire trucks
and everything? That was not to make sure
of emissions, that was to make sure that they could
function, correct?
Which seems insane too, but
go ahead. I'm unaware
that of what
you're talking about, but I know that we
do inspect, not we,
you know, engines and whatnot when they arrive
and then before they leave to make sure
they're safe. So I'm not
familiar at all with the situation you're talking about.
All right. Brian, thank you so much. I hope you're called up because we need to take all
of our agencies and especially all of our services that are protecting us seriously again.
We haven't for quite a long time. Brian, thank you so much. So thank you.
You bet. Brian Fennessee, Orange County Fire Chief.

Welcome.
I'm just watching some of this coverage of the Pete Hegseth
hearings.
I saw Megan Kelly.
She was right behind like the second row
of the hearing. We saw that earlier.
And we're watching this visually.
We're not hearing all of it.
And then I walked in during the commercial break.
And the audio was up and I was like,
that voice is familiar. Who is that?
It was one of those irritating voices.
from the past.
And then I looked up and I was like, oh, no, maybe not.
I'm not sure who that is and watch the commentary for a couple minutes and then look down
at the nameplate.
Yeah.
And realized that was apparently Kirsten Gillibrand, which I think that is the nicest telling
of that story, Sarah, wouldn't you say?
I think that was a-
It's exactly what happened.
I mean, you know, an original tale there.
Precisely what happened in my mind.
I don't know what I said.
You said, who the hell is that hag on TV?
I never said that.
You know I didn't say that.
I mean, really honestly, Sarah, he didn't say those words, but that's what he was saying.
Oh, definitely what he was saying.
I don't.
First of all.
It's like, wichipoo, wichipoo.
I didn't say those words, first of all.
I may have implied them.
Because I will say, I mean, Washington takes a toll on you, man.
Do you know, here's a fact of the day.
Yeah.
That person up there with Kirsten Gillibrand?
Younger than you.
Wow.
Ah, that was him saying she's a hag.
Did you hear that reaction, Sarah?
Wow, she is holding herself together very well.
That is not what you just said with that noise.
That noise expressed a lot of emotion and surprise.
Yeah, wow.
And not in a positive way for dear Kirsten.
Yeah.
Because she was running for president relatively,
recently. She was always invited on like Stephen Colbert. She was a New York senator. She was
kind of a mini celebrity for a while running for president. It didn't make much of an impact
in her race. It was never really close. But it feels like the pictures look like they were 25
years ago. Yeah. I don't know what I don't know what's going on. So she was questioning Hegseth
and it was. Don't try to move to the actual content, the content of her remarks. That's not the
important part? No. No. Okay. What happened?
We always say this about presidents, and it's okay to say it about guys.
Oh, look, you came into office and his hair was black, and now it's totally gray.
Oh, that's totally fine to say about guys.
The same things happen apparently to dear Kirsten here.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
She just stopped dyeing her hair.
That's what happened.
She hasn't, like in four years, it hasn't been like, oh, my gosh, look at her.
Gray hair, all that stress.
she stopped putting a box of chemicals in her hair.
I will say that may very well have occurred.
She's only 58, but that may very well have occurred.
What I would add to that, though, is it looks like maybe she stopped doing other things.
Because ladies, and you back me up on this, Sarah, right?
Ladies tend to do things to improve their appearance, maybe wear makeup, maybe there's
some things that are injected into faces.
I am hearing like hag cackles from him right now, aren't you?
Maybe there's bathing.
There's all sorts of things that they do, and she seemed to have stopped all of them.
You think she stopped bathing?
I mean, I'm not there to smell me.
We can ask Megan.
She's in the second row.
Maybe she would know.
I don't know.
Well, I think you should call Megan.
No, I definitely not.
I don't want to get her involved in this.
I think Megan would be happy to answer all of these questions for you.
I'll drag you into the depths of a conversation like this.
I don't want to do that to her.
Yeah, huh.
Yeah.
So you don't want to talk about the policies.
I think Hengseth is handling himself extraordinarily well.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, I thought that would be typical of me.
You did just do that?
I did, well, I did just Google something that we don't necessarily have to talk about.
I think we need to.
I think we need to.
Stu just Googled.
I don't think we need to talk about that.
That was not, it was an off-the-air conversation.
You didn't say that prior to.
I said it off-the-air.
America needs to know. What's your Googling about Christian Dilderan?
You don't even know her name.
I don't.
I don't care. I really don't care.
Okay. Well, then you don't want to move on then.
But I care now because of what you, because I didn't. It wasn't anything bad.
I was, I was concerned. It wasn't anything bad. It wasn't anything bad.
No, well, it was.
Poor Kirsten is crying her little eyeballs out right now.
No, that's not true. First of all, I mean, obviously, I mean, to state the very clear
and obvious. Both of us are hideous. So this is not, that is, we're not judging. I wasn't the one that
said what the hell happened to her. Oh, the American people absolutely heard you say that with
that noise you made when I said she was 58 years old. They heard it. They heard every little bit of it.
But what I just, I googled something because I became concerned about her health.
Well, I be, yes. I mean, that is one way of stating what happened. How did you Google it? How did you
Google. What did you Google?
I googled if Kirsten Gillibrand had disclosed a disease or long-term illness.
Because I became concerned.
She gets gray hair and you think that she's...
Well, yeah.
I will say, the real thing that happened there is, after I made jokes about it, I figured,
oh, God, she probably has some terrible disease and now everyone's going to yell at me because I made fun of her appearance.
You think she looks so bad with gray hair that you think she has.
You stop saying with gray hair.
That's not what it's about.
You have gray hair.
I don't have gray hair.
I have white hair.
Yes, well, yes.
Yes, that's true.
You have white hair.
Did you Google?
Does Glenn Beck have some horrible disease?
You have every disease in the book.
There's nothing I can Google that you don't have.
Every two days you're like, hey, it's Glenn Beck live from the hospital.
They're going to build you a podcast studio inside of Baylor.
But I will say, I just, it really, like, it wasn't really concerned about her, if I'm being honest, it was concerned about me because I didn't want to call her name if there was something terrible that happened.
About women getting older and then you thought, oh, dear God, I could be in trouble.
She was like, she looked like a celebrity on Stephen Colbert like six months ago.
She's like having some reverse Benjamin Buttons thing going on.
There's something happening.
Reverse Benjamin buttons, which would be normal aging.
He's got to go to reverse Benjamin buttons.
Oh, in the movie, it seemed like it went really fast at times.
Right.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe that's a long way to get to normal aging.
But I don't think my point is, maybe she's spending a lot of time in the sun, right?
right? Like they say that that's
something you shouldn't do. Yeah.
You know? Not recently because you look
very pale, but at
some point. At some point. Maybe there was all
out in the sun. Out in the sun too long.
I'm just, I'm trying to help.
Right. What are you doing? What are you judging?
Oh, I know what I'm doing? I'm rubbernecking right now.
I'm just driving by a car accident, just
slowing down to watch it.
That's all I'm doing.
Who is the one person here who cared enough
about her health to make sure she's doing okay.
Me, I'm the only one.
What did you do?
You sat here and you didn't care if she got it had a long-term illness or disease.
She didn't disclose at all.
I didn't think she had one.
I just thought she was aging like people do.
No, you are so shameless.
Shameless, you were shameless.
Everyone in this audience heard moments ago.
Can we pull the audio?
Hey, Glenn, she's younger than you.
Oh, what the noise?
There was like several different emotions in that noise.
That's not true.
That you expressed it.
I mean, it was disdain.
I'm looking out for her health.
What are you doing, sir?
I was just trying to talk, you know, about what's happening to poor Pete.
It's all I was doing.
Poor Pete.
That's all I was doing.
You know, and you're right.
Let's get back to Pete Exf.
Hey, Pete Exf is the nominee.
Now I don't really, I don't really care to talk about it.
for dissents.
I don't,
you know,
look,
I think we've covered everything we need to cover on Kirsten Gillibrett.
I just had a moment of legitimate shock.
Mm-hmm.
And sometimes human beings are fallible.
I,
you know,
and I maybe is misjudged what could happen in such a short time.
The aging process,
we should do something.
Medicine should fight that.
We should,
we should go up.
Longevity science should be invested in heavily.
So you didn't have to look at aging women.
That's what you're saying?
That's not what I'm saying.
That's what I heard.
It's a weird segue.
I was shocked and I think that, you know, can't science do something is what I'm saying.
So you don't have to look at aging women?
No, it has nothing.
Why do you keep saying that?
You keep saying it.
Is this not a logical place to go?
It is not a logical place to go.
Why would he?
Go ahead, sir.
I'm not getting involved.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow. Well, she knows. She knows what you would say, so she can't take you on because she knows exactly what kind of horrible, insensitive comments you would make about her.
And I have gray hair.
Do you want to make that comparison? No, I didn't think so. No, she doesn't. Nobody does.
Okay. Nobody does. So I would like to talk about, you know, because this is a logical segue, Stu.
A logical segue is not, oh, wow, she looks horrible.
Science should do something about the standard aging process.
By the way, it has, and she was utilizing it apparently with hair dye.
Okay.
Here's a logical one.
Biden puts taxpayers on the hook for 15,000 debtor student loans.
Here's a guy who we've been talking about fires all day.
Here's a guy who is setting our government on fire just before he leaves.
In every way possible, they are sabotaging the presidency of Donald Trump.
And I really hope these are the things that come to an end beginning next week.
We'll say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance.
