Hey, it's a great show today. You don't want to miss a second of it. We talk about the Fauci insanity with the mask.
Talk a little bit about the banking sector. And we dip our toe into the waters of high tech.
And what the government is doing with high tech is we talked a little bit about the capital hearing, this ridiculous hearing with Adam Schiff asking the questions in Washington, D.C., about January 6th.
We also give you a warning on something that happened today with Simone Biles that I think is worth hearing.
That's all coming up on today's podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck.
The owner of Gianelli's drive-through, this is a business up in Illinois that's been in business for a long time.
Terry Trobani, Trobiani.
is the owner of it, and he's just been cited for flying the American flag.
The city doesn't like the fact that he has flags out front,
and he's not going to stop flying the American flag.
Terry, welcome to the program.
Good morning, Glenn. Glad to be here.
Yeah, thank you.
So what exactly is going on in your town?
They told you to take down your flag and your blue line flag, right?
Why?
Well, it's very interesting.
Well, very interesting.
We've been fighting.
I'm not going to get into the past history, but the city has restrictions on temporary
flags, banners, A-frames, feather banners.
They don't want any kind of sign is blowing in front of your property, which, you know,
for a small business, that's actually what you need to promote your business.
So what happened on the 4th of July weekend was I had an A-frame sign out saying that
here's the name of the restaurant.
We have drive-through, carry-out, dine in our phone number.
And behind that, I had a row of American flags.
It was a 4th of July weekend.
So at the same time, we were requesting a variance on our a frame.
Well, the village went in and obviously denied it five to nothing because they don't want anything.
So I left the American flags out because according to their ordinance, the American flag is ornamental,
and as long as you're flying the flags during a national or federal holiday, ornamentation should be permitted.
So I left the flags out.
Well, the day after the 4th of July, they walk in, the village administrator walks in.
And he says, you know, you might be violating the flag code with the flags.
I said, well, why would I be doing that?
the flag code pretty much in compliance.
No, he handed me a brochure, and I could quickly just two sentences.
So you might be violating these two areas.
The flags are being, should be displayed only on permanent flag pulls or staff specifically
constructed for flag display.
And secondly, flagposts should be within 15 feet of the curb.
I said, okay, well, I read that I'm not in violation.
Because maybe you should read them again.
I said, I'm pretty intelligent.
Those are one sentences.
I interpreted them.
I'm not in violation.
Well, next morning, the police officer walked in handing me two tickets and said the flags need to come out of the ground.
I asked for an explanation.
No one gave me an explanation.
Read the brochure that the village administrator brought in.
I said, okay, we're going through this again.
I can read.
Apparently what's happened here is, and I could not immediately deciphered from the letter that they gave me,
but apparently what's happened is that the village of Prairie Grove has classified the American flag as a sign.
And they've taken away the symbol of the American flag.
So as a sign, it falls under their temporary signed ordinance, which prohibits any flying or any positioning of any signs on your property.
So now this includes the American flag.
And what they did also in this pamphlet, which again, I wasn't looking for, but I kind of interpreted later, is the only way that I could fly an American flag on my property is if I put it on a permanent 20 to 30 foot flagpole, which they have to permit.
So what they're doing is they're denying me my rights under the U.S. flag code and my civil rights acts
and being able to fly the American flag any way I want.
I should be able to wake up in the morning and say, oh, I'm really having a great day.
I'm going to stick a flag in my front wall.
Nope, I can't do that.
I have to put concrete in the floor and build a permanent flagpole.
So now the village is dancing.
They're saying, well, we love the American flag.
We never said we can't fly the flag.
And my question is back to them were, well,
Since all this has been going on, no one's come back to me and say, well, maybe we misinterpreted something.
Let's put it in the ground.
No one's gone there.
What they've done is they gave me two tickets, which I called the village to pay.
And the lawyer informed me that they're not going to accept my $200 unless I sign a letter that says I have violated the sign ordinance.
And then I sign a subsequent letter, which says, I will never, ever in the future, I guess, as long as I live.
When did that policy come in?
You're given a ticket.
Now you have to do something that Mao had the Chinese dissidents do?
I mean, you now have to.
I guess, I mean, I didn't finish on a subsequent letter,
but I need to sign that letter.
It says I will not ever violate a sign ordinance.
And I said, well, the sign ordinance that you interpret, like why would I sign that?
So I said, you know what, draw that letter up.
I'm inquisitive.
Sign the letter up.
I like to see the verbiage on it.
No.
we're not going to do that.
You need to agree on the phone now immediately to agree to the letter with our attorney,
and then we will take the time to put the letter together so you can sign it.
Well, a few expletives later, I told them what they do with the letter.
So where does this stand now?
I mean, I don't understand.
There's a little small town, right?
194 people.
Yeah.
So is it just all crazy lefties that, you know, look at the flag?
and say, that's just a Republican sign?
Or what is going on?
I didn't think so.
I know you've done your homework.
This is McHenry County.
McKenry County is one of the reddest states in Illinois.
I mean, we are Trumpers.
He won by 7,000 votes out here.
But there are people who go, and I think the cases that they appear to be
independence, and we know where that goes.
So, you know, what side there are.
I mean, I was on a Dana Perino show yesterday, and she caught whim of my blue flag, and she made a comment.
And I've had these two flags up.
Now they're accusing me that, oh, you're putting the American flag up to draw attention to your business.
And my response to that was when I built this development, and when I built this building on day one, when I opened the doors, I put the American flag on one pole.
I put a blue line and red light flag on the other pole.
And I have been flying, I have been working this business from day one with American flag flying outside my door.
establishment and apparently in July of 2021 I'm now really only doing that to draw
business into my business which is ridiculous they're they're dancing I think they
know where they've gone they don't care yesterday a attorney and a police officer
came to my restaurant and tried to tell me that we called to settle the case and
they were there to work on settling with me and I I just told the police officer
please escorted my business we never called you I'm being represented by an
attorney, tell your attorney, if he doesn't know that, they should get another attorney.
So please take them out of here, walk out, or don't ever talk to me then.
And since then, my lawyer has sent them a letter explaining that.
So they are, they don't want any signage.
And this is not pertaining to our discussion specifically, but they don't want any
signage on the road.
I can't put an open sign that says, you know, carry out, dine and dry through.
COVID was tough.
You know, we're in a restaurant business.
COVID was tough on us.
We succeeded.
We made it through.
And we cut a lot of things.
We never cut an employee.
We paid all our employees.
I didn't take a paycheck for a year to keep our employees online because it was
that important to keep things going.
And, you know, you fight for a year and you beat a pandemic.
And then you've got this little municipality with five trustees and a president who just
have no respect for small business.
And right now what I see is they have no respect.
respect for the republic and and the united states going after me with the flag uh i think it's terrible
our the direction that government in all levels have taken us to this point is it's despicable
it's it's it's i going i have 25 to 30 phone calls a day from all over the united states
army vets uh you you name it people calling me saying you stick to your guns do not let them
overrun you this is the american flag you fly it proud you fly it high
I don't even know these people, and I'm getting calls all day.
It's disruptive to my business because we run a restaurant, but I love it.
I mean, I'm feeding on it.
Like, I can't believe there's all these people coming out of the woodwork to defend this flag.
It's really nice to see that happening on a daily basis.
Terry, I appreciate it.
We'll watch your story.
Tell me where, tell me when is the next date of something that's supposed to happen?
You go into court or do you have any idea?
I do.
I have a court date.
I was given a court date with the tickets.
The court date is August 25th at 1.30.
They're holding it at the village hall.
They're not even bringing it to a municipal court.
I actually go into Tangaroo court where they hire an adjudicary lawyer who they're going to pay to be a judge.
And I said, this is going to be fair.
You know, I don't even know what I'm walking into.
I have two tickets.
I just want to pay them and go away.
So I don't even know what I'm going to court for.
I mean, I don't even know going to reprimand me, me either going to try to
Feather and Army?
I don't know.
We'll check back with you after the court hearing.
Thanks, Terry.
Appreciate it.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Appreciate it, time.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Josh Rogan is with us.
He's the author of K.S. Under Heaven.
And a column is with the Washington Post.
Now, I'm not going to hold that against him.
But he has been on this Rand Paul Fauci.
debate and I'm not hearing anybody telling the truth in the mainstream media. Josh is trying to
change all that. Hello, Josh. How are you? Hey, Glenn. Great to be back with you. Thank you.
So, so how is this not an open and shut case with Dr. Fauci? Well, you know, we've spent a year
and a half placing Anthony Fauci on this pedestal and venerating him as a deity. And so when he gets
into the five-minute shouting match with Rand Paul, it's very easy for everyone to just write the story
that Fouchy got vanquished by Rand Paul without actually listening to what these two men were saying
and seeing which one makes the most sense.
Right.
Just follow the issue of what Anthony Fauci has been doing in terms of throwing cold water on the lab leak theory
and avoiding congressional oversight of the NIH's relationships with these Wuhan labs,
then you can understand why people like Rand Paul and lots of other people, including lots of
scientists think Fauci is playing a double game here, that he's using his authority and his
popularity and his ability to have the Democratic Party in Congress come to his defense every time
he gets into one of these scuffles to distract us from the real issue. And the real issue is that
the NIH, not just the NIH, and USAID and the Pentagon and all of these other U.S. agencies
were doing work funneling American taxpayer money
and know how to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
And now that the pandemic broke out on the doorstep of the lab,
the Wuhan Institute of Virology has told us all to go pound sand.
And how can that be?
And why were we doing all of this collaboration?
And do you still want to do this collaboration with a bunch of Chinese labs
that won't even let us into the lab when the crisis breaks out?
And you don't even have to believe that the lab leak theory is true
to understand that people like Anthony's,
any Fauci, who were the head of this collaboration, who promoted this collaboration,
whether you call it gain of function or you don't call it gain of function.
That's kind of a word game.
We can get into that if you want to.
But the bottom line is that's a red herring because Fauci was in charge of overseeing this collaboration,
and he failed in that fiduciary responsibility.
It's obvious because now when we're trying to get into the lab to investigate the greatest
pandemic in human history, they won't even open the lab to us.
So what are we schmucks?
We want to give them more money when they tell us, we can't.
can't even go into the left to do the investigation. That's what Anthony Fauci is arguing for,
and that seems crazy. Josh, can we go into the word games here being played with gain of function
for a minute? Because it does appear to, I think, the average person looking at this, that
Anthony Fauci is just playing semantics here. He's, I mean, the documents literally say gain a function
on them. And he's trying to make this argument that it's obvious it is not gain of function.
How do we navigate this path?
Right, sure.
So, you know, again, I think it is a word game, but it's worth parsing out because it's confusing to everyone.
You know, what we know is that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was doing work to modify back coronaviruses
in ways that made them more transmissible and more dangerous to human being, okay?
And that's what they published.
That's what they admitted to.
That's not even in dispute.
Now, to Rand Paul and to me and to you, if you're gaining the functional, you're gaining the
function of a virus, well, how could that not be gain of function? And what Fauci's game here is,
is that he's pointing to a specific definition that the NIH uses to determine whether or not
they should submit this gain of function research to their own review body. In other words,
is it risky enough to warrant another level of review? But what's funny about that, I mean,
not ha ha funny, but kind of ironic funny, is that that definition was written by the NIH
Anthony Fauci. In other words, he crafted a definition to exclude all of the reasons. And that
that he was in charge of. And so then he built an oversight mechanism and then never used it.
Okay? They built an entire oversight mechanism. A review board after the Obama administration
paused the gain of function research because it's risky because lab accidents happen all the
time. And they turned it back on and Anthony Fauci was instrumental in turning it back on
inside the government during the Trump administration when the Trump officials weren't paying
attention. And then he wrote the definition and designed the oversight system so it was
never used. Okay. And then when the back coronavirus pandemic breaks out on the doorstep of the back
coronavirus lab and everyone's like, hey, Anthony Fauci, can we take a look at your documents? And by the way,
he says, no, I won't even give my documents over. And then by the way, do you think now that it was,
perhaps you should have reviewed this risky research, whether you, so he's, you could make,
in other words, you can, it's going to be tough to prosecute Anthony Fauci for lying because in his
mind, he's telling the truth. But the point is that he's breast.
about a loophole that he created.
He built a loophole into the system.
Then he walked through the loophole and then he uses it to defend himself.
And that is probably a good defense against perjury, but it's not a good defense against,
hey, why were you doing all this risky research with all these Chinese lives that tell
us to go pound sand when there's a pandemic there?
It's like having a cheating husband and having the cheating husband design what cheating is.
And he says, well, massage parlors aren't cheating, right?
like, well, okay, I mean, but you designed the rules that it, that, that, that amount to cheating.
So, of course, you're not going to break them.
Right.
Or it's like, I always like to say it's like, you know, having, you know, Robert Kardashian, a judge OJ.
Okay.
Doesn't mean that Robert Kardashian is not like a great lawyer, but he's got a conflict of interest because he's friends with OJ.
Okay.
And that's what I'm getting to here is that Anthony Fauci, by the way, if you read the New York Times
yesterday is preparing to ask Congress for billions of dollars more to expand risky virus research
to every kind of virus there is. In influenza, you name it, okay? That's his project. That's his endgame.
He gave an interview in the New York Times where he said, the pandemic shows we have to spend
billions, billions more, digging off viruses all over the world, taking them back to labs.
Now, you know, on CNN, on Sunday, Jake Tapper asked Anthony Fauci, do you still think it's a good
idea to do business with these Wuhan labs that we can't even get into? And he said,
don't worry, we've always been safe, we'll continue to be safe.
In essence, he's saying, trust me.
Okay, and that doesn't, when you know this, Glenn, when a public official says,
trust me, they're lying.
That's when you know something's fishy.
That's when you know you have to install some oversight.
So my point is that we can't have a system where the doctors and scientists oversee the doctors
and scientists because they don't understand national security.
And they definitely don't understand what's going on in China now, which is a big,
bigger scope of my book, which is that, yeah.
No, go ahead.
finish your thought.
Which is that, you know, these scientists in China may be very nice people, but they're not in
control. They live in a totalitarian dictatorship that's becoming more aggressive and more repressive,
and that means us harm. And that if you understand China, you understand that they're not doing
open science anymore and that they've taken all of our money and know-how and built another
part of the lab where they've worked with the Chinese military to do whatever they want to do with
those viruses outside of our purview. That's what the Trump administration revealed. That's what the
Biden administration has confirmed that U.S. intelligence shows.
They took us, okay?
They, they, they, they, they, they, they other part of the lab to build something that was
aimed at us.
That's, that's what military bio research is.
We have a program, they have a program.
Now, the question is, going forward, do we want to continue to fund and build their
military bio research program?
Is that a good idea, especially when they won't even let us into the city that the
pandemic broke out into?
That seems crazy to me, but that's what Fauci is explicitly advocating for.
how did we miss the fact that the guy who's running this lab is a former, I think general,
at least in the Communist Party army, and his job was bio weapons.
You know, what happened was for the first year of this pandemic, and Glenn, I know you know this.
Well, we couldn't even talk about the Wuhan labs.
You were called racist or conspiracy theorists for even uttering the word Wuhan lab.
And I know this guy got attacked all the time and many people like me.
And the problem, of course, was that the reason that that was considered a conspiracy theorist theory was because the friends of the lab, including Peter Dashak at the EcoHealth Alliance and lots of other friends of Anthony Fauci, you know, put out a bunch of scientific papers saying the lab was totally impossible and you're a racist, a conspiracy theorist, if you mentioned the lab.
So that's why for a year we couldn't even have a rational conversation.
We still can't have a rational conversation in a Senate hearing about how we got into this mess, about.
out how the pandemic that killed 400, 4 million people and 630,000 Americans started,
which is crucial information, by the way, for preventing the next one.
In other words, if we don't figure out how this started, how are we going to prevent the
next one?
Do you want to do this every year?
So the fact that in Wuhan, they have a bio-weapons program, bio-research program with
the military is not really a shocking thing to say, after all, because, of course they do,
because we have one, they have one.
That's what you do.
If you're a big country, you have a bio-weapons research.
program. But the fact that that was also may have been linked to or they may have taken our know-how
from our government-funded projects, that's a big problem. That's a big scary thing to think about.
It has implications for the entire industry of scientific collaboration. And that's Anthony Fauci's
industry. He's the head of a part of that industry. So lots of big powerful interests here are getting
upset just by the idea of getting to the truth of this. And that's not even talking about the Chinese
government cover up. They're covering up the lab. There's a reason they're covering up the lab.
They don't want people to look through their bio-weapons program. Why would they want that?
You know, so they've got a real problem here too. So it's very easy for the Biden administration
to just do a 90-day intelligence review and then come out and say, well, we couldn't figure it out.
Oh, well, you know, let's all go on with our days. But that's a very dangerous path to go down.
That's what Anthony Fauci would like us to do. We'd like us to say, oh, that's his new line.
Oh, well, I don't know what's going on in China. But, you know, we're never going to find out.
So what are you going to do?
But that's the problem is that we don't know what's going on in China.
Why is he funding these labs if we can't know what's going on inside them?
That seems to me to be the biggest, the easiest thing we can solve whether the lab leak theory is true or not.
Any justice going to be done on Fauci?
Is anyone going to follow up on this?
Will he be held accountable for anything?
Well, here's the thing.
Right now we have several congressional investigations trying to get the document.
Not just again from Fauci, but from USAID.
Why want Anthony Blink?
can hand over the documents, Samantha Power, Francis Collins of the NIH. There are Pentagon
documents about tens of millions of dollars at the Pentagon. The U.S. Pentagon gave to the
EcoHealth Alliance that went to these Wuhan labs. We need all of that stuff. Well, the reason
it's not happening is because no Democrats are on board. Why would the Pentagon want to
fund that if it wasn't gain of research or gain of function?
the defense threat reduction agency gave millions of dollars to the eco-health alliance,
and some of that went to the Wuhan Labs.
They were trying to, you know, cooperate with China's bio-research program,
which is now looks kind of crazy.
Now they didn't know that.
Now we know that.
So the question is, what are we going to do going forward?
And how can we even know what to do if those documents all remain secret?
So we need at least one Democratic committee chairman to threaten to use the subpoena power
to get those documents that are in that.
hands of the U.S. government. It's our stuff. They need to release our intelligence. We don't need
the Chinese Communist Party to give us permission to investigate. You wouldn't ask OJ for permission
to investigate OJ, would you? No, you would just use your powers and influence to do the investigation,
whether the defendant likes it or not, the Chinese government is not going to like it. And Democrats
don't want to risk upsetting the U.S.-China relationship. But I say if you don't risk upsetting the
delicate sensibilities of the Chinese Communist Party to figure out the death of 630,000
Americans, what would you risk it for? What could be more important? What could be more
crucial to our national security and our public health? Talking to Josh Rogan, his book,
Chaos Under Heaven, Trump, Xi, and the battle for the 21st century. And Josh, I want to focus
on the last part here for a second. You look at China and what's happened over the past just few
years, where they're cracking down on capitalists. Businessmen are disappearing.
They're cracking down on crypto and removing that from the country.
Obviously expanding the Uyghurs and all the problems there.
The issues with Hong Kong and the way that that has changed.
It just strikes me as there is a massive change in the way this country is dealing with the world.
Over just the past few years, we've always thought of China as a thread and there's problems there.
We've never agreed with them on human rights and all these things.
Am I correct to detect a real change, though, in momentum and direct.
over the past couple of years.
Absolutely.
I like to refer to it as the Great Leap Backward.
You know, it's clear that Xi Jinping, in his first couple of years when he came in in 2013,
said about consolidating power, purging all of his rivals under a false corruption,
anti-corruption plan, shutting down freedoms, building concentration camps.
And once he had all that in place, he turned his focus to the rest of the world.
And that's a big part of the book, is how the Chinese Communist Party has expanded its
interference and influence in free and open societies, especially ours, how they've sought to
influence our schools and our markets and our tech companies and our sports and our Hollywood
movies and how all the various institutions of U.S. society have been slow to react to that
reality. But they're waking up to it now as the pandemic ravages the whole world and we see
what China's a world power really looks like. And I think that awakening is happening in other
countries as they're getting blackmailed about for Chinese vaccines or told that their
companies can't do business in China unless they ignore the genocide or ignore the crackdown
in Hong Kong.
And yet here in America, our Justice Department is dismissing, you know, all of the Chinese
military spies that were in our, in our institutions.
We're just dismissing the charges, not continuing with an investigation and setting them
free.
I mean, yeah, I think the
Go ahead.
I think the Biden administration
is torn, right? There are some people who want
to continue the Trump policy of standing up to
the Chinese Communist Party, and there are some people
who think that, you know, targeting Chinese
researchers was racist
or wrong, but the fact is that if you're
a Chinese researcher who
hid their affiliation with the Chinese military,
you broke in U.S. long. You deserve to be
prosecuted full stop. And
what the suspicion is, is that they did that in advance
of Deputy Secretary of State.
Wendy Sherman's visit to Beijing yesterday, where she traveled all the way, not to Beijing,
to Taijin, where she traveled all the way to China, only to have the Chinese Communist Party
officials tell her to go screw herself, and she had to travel all the way back with nothing.
What they did was they humiliated the U.S. government by pretending that they were going to have
an open dialogue and then just spreading a bunch of their propaganda. And what that shows us is that
Xi Jinping sees this not as China rising, but as China risen. And the, the,
Communist Party is becoming more totalitarian, more fascist, more nationalistic, more aggressive, more repressive.
It's all going in one direction.
And it's really, really dangerous.
Now, that doesn't mean that we have to go to war right now.
It means we have to avoid the war by confronting these problems before they get worse.
And that's what the challenge is going forward.
And that's not a partisan challenge.
That's for all Americans and really all people around the world.
Thank you so much.
Josh Rogan from Washington Post.
Thank you for being on with us.
We will probably have you on early and often about China as they have risen.
And I think we're already with ones and zeros at war with them.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
I've got a big charity weekend coming up.
On Friday, I'm going to be Friday morning broadcasting from St. George, one of the most
beautiful towns you've ever seen quick conservatives flock to St. George, buy a place in St. George
because all of these California people are going to move in and they're going to destroy this
great little town. Anyway, I'm going to be there not saying things like that on Friday to
encourage people to rise up. Last year, Operation Underground Railroad had a campaign to rise up for
children and stand against sex slaves and trafficking, human chaff trafficking, and just slaves in general.
I don't know.
I think it's something we can all do.
Everybody is, you know, wanting to get out in the streets.
This is one thing that we can all agree on.
So rise up this Friday.
You can go to Operation Underground Railroad and find out more details.
But I'm going to be there in St.
George in the morning with them all day.
with Tim Ballard.
I think Lewis Houses is going to be there as well.
And then at night, we'll be flying into Salt Lake to Thanksgiving Point at Electric Park.
And they've got a big concert going on.
And I don't know why they invited me to that.
I mean, I can't imagine a big concert.
And then me coming out and going, hey, everybody, let me tell you a story.
I don't think that's going to go well.
When you want to have fun, you always invite Glenn Beck.
You always invite me.
Yeah, that's the secret to fun.
You have said, as soon as I leave, the parties get good.
Yeah, because people sort of save up the fun they would have had at the party when you're there.
Yeah.
And then they double it on the back end.
Right.
So it can get good at the back end.
So it's going to get crazy after I leave.
It's going to get crazy.
Which would be about six minutes after you're offstage.
Thank you very much.
You can get your ticket set to Ourrescue.org slash rise up.
We'll see you there.
Then on Saturday, I am having my.
my art show and and gallery sale.
Now,
I want you to know that everything that I sell on Saturday,
all of it is going to...
Hunter Biden's blow.
Well, no, I didn't think...
No?
I wasn't thinking about that.
No, I...
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Preservation of American history through Mercury 1.
Much better cause than the cocaine for...
Yeah, than the cocaine for a day.
Right.
And if he doesn't have a hooker, you know,
what is it?
You get to the point when you're Hunter Biden, just drugs?
Yeah.
Where are the hookers along with the drugs?
Right. There's just no fun.
And where's the cash from China?
Right.
I need to be bathing in cash from China while doing blow off a hooker's belly.
That's how it works.
That's a Friday night.
And that's more like a Tuesday night for Hunter.
It's like Friday gets a lot crazier.
It doesn't.
It's a Tuesday.
What's a Thursday night like?
I don't want to go to that.
That gets like that.
That's bad.
The cocaine and hookers is actually more like a Tuesday brunch for Hunter at this point.
And that's why you need to sell paintings for $500,000.
Yours will be a little cheaper than that.
A little cheaper, a little cheaper.
But still not cheap.
Again, I'm not saying that this would happen.
But, you know, anybody who buys my painting might, you know, might have the opportunity to meet my dad.
Now, my dad has been dead for, I don't know, about almost 10 years now.
Yeah. So it's going to be a kind of a grisly thing to meet him. But if that's what gets you to buy a painting, I'm fine. It's all the money's going to charity.
It's great though, by the way. You can see them on your Instagram page, right? I mean, I do, I will say every time I go to your Instagram page and you're showing off your art, I think to myself, is he actually talented at something? How did this happen? I don't understand how it occurs. It's crazy, isn't it? They're really great. I don't know how you can. I feel like is it possible?
Well, you suffered through the years and years and years of just bad art.
No, just bad art.
You've always been pretty talented in that realm, though you've improved.
I mean, even...
It's amazing what lessons will do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You struggle your whole life and you're like, I don't have any idea what I'm doing.
And when I finally hired this teacher, she said,
you haven't even tried watching YouTube?
And I'm like, no.
No.
She's like, you know, you can learn a lot of this on,
YouTube and I'm like, shut up.
You're wasting money. Let's go.
Let's go. Teach. Don't talk through the lesson.
Don't talk through. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't mock me and ridicule me.
Which she still does for about 10 minutes before we start and usually afterwards.
He's like, well, that went well.
She's actually, she's actually, she's been, she's unbelievable, unbelievable.
A good teacher can accelerate anything.
Oh, certainly.
This is why every wife back in the day used to say, why don't you ask for directions?
I think that's entirely different.
You know what we did?
Ladies, we invented GPS.
That's what we did.
Thank you.
We put satellites in space so we didn't have to stop at a gas station.
Yeah.
As we look at the one woman who's in the actual studio, poor Sarah,
every time we say something about a woman, she's just the representative.
Sorry, Sarah.
We're just yelling at her through the glass.
Yeah, now let me tell you about Nancy Pelosi.
And Lynn Cheney.
We hold you responsible.
By the way, did you hear about the guy that the New York doctor who met this wonderful woman?
He's young.
He's handsome.
You know, he's got a lot of money.
He very successful, New York City.
He meets this woman.
She's a former Miss Connecticut, USA.
and she had gone to school.
I don't remember where she went to school,
but she went to school.
She was majoring in chemistry.
And so she had her chemistry.
I don't know what the hell.
I mean,
I don't know what you do with that.
What do you do?
Is that like a mixologist?
I think this is how breaking bad started.
I think so too.
That's how it ends up.
Well, it kind of ends that way.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
She didn't go to college.
She didn't even graduate from high school.
She was Miss Connecticut, USA, but that's it.
In fact, she was a hooker and still is a hooker.
And they got married and she said, I'm just working on an app right now with some people.
And it causes me to have to go places and I'm going to be doing stuff.
and because she all of a sudden had like 500 grand in her bank account.
I'm just working on, you know, this algorithm.
I'm working a lot.
Apparently, I mean, I don't know what the rates are these days,
but that seems like a lot of a lot of physical activity to get to that.
Apparently, she had a couple of sugar daddies that were kind of like taking care of her.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
And so he found out.
And the guy says, I want to file.
for divorce. I mean, what's up with that? He doesn't support a working woman.
This is, this is the sort of sexism that goes on in this country. Amen, brother. Can you imagine
finding that out about your wife? No. No, no. That would be very bad. That would be, I feel like
disruptive to your, your home life. That's what I would, that's how I would describe it. It might be.
Yeah. It might be. It might be also the time you go, wow, glad we didn't have children.
You know, what a mom she would make. What?
a mom she would make.
Working hard for the kids.
Yes.
I only do this so you can have a better life.
You make Mommy do this.
Mommy does this because you cry.
You didn't clean up your room.
Look what mommy had to do.
That's what I tell my kids now.
Yeah, dad's an alcoholic only because you cried when you were little.
Right.
That's the seed of it.
You don't understand kids.
You don't understand.
I've gone through all of the steps.
And I got to, I think I got to step number three and I'm like, it's the kids and they're crying all the time that's making me drink.
And so I stopped the rest because I got it.
I got it.
It was the kids that made me drink.
Right.
And once you find the cause of it, you're able to deal with it a lot better.
Right.
And you can handle your alcohol again.
So she, I don't know if she has to, what she's going to do to handle her hookerism.
that she apparently is addicted to,
but apparently this doctor is not going back with her.
It's called it's being judgmental.
You don't want women in the workforce,
and this is the sexism that's ruined our country.
So she's a sex worker and a secret sex worker.
What, he's a doctor.
They both see people naked.
Yes.
Yes, they do.
Yes, they do.
Both work with bodily fluids.
Pretty much the same gig.
I don't know what you're complaining.
about Doc.
