So I don't know the last time I enjoyed a court case as much as the, as much as the Fannie Willis court case yesterday. Fannie Willis, in case you don't know, she is the woman that is going after Donald Trump in Atlanta, and she's fantastic. I just love this. So apparently she was having an affair with one of her underlings, and I don't know if he was under, well, let's just leave it at

that. And having an affair and paying all kinds of money, in fact, a lot more. than anybody else on her staff in that role. But he was such an expert. And they found out that, you know, those two were having an affair. And he was cheating on his wife. And it looks like there's some ethics problems there. So now she's in court because her credibility is shot. And the Trump people have said she really needs to be removed from this case because she's got, you know,

ulterior motives and there's another agenda going on, et cetera, et cetera. So, do you see it yesterday, Stu? Oh, yes. Oh, I sure did, Glenn. I watched every second of it I could ingest. It was incredible. Yeah, it was good. The first thing that I saw was he gets up on the stand and he's testifying that

that, well, he didn't lie to the court during his divorce proceedings. You know, he just got divorced. When was it? Last year? No, this year, right? It was very recent, yeah. Yeah, very recent. Maybe it was early or late last year.

But he got a divorce. And all this came up in the divorce court that he was having an affair with Fannie Willis. Well, he denied that in court. And when asked about it, he said, well, It's because his marriage had irreconcilable differences. Yes. And he couldn't. So his marriage was over.

So he considered his marriage over when he was having an affair. See, I consider my marriage over on Friday nights and Saturday nights. And then it picks back up on Sunday. I like that. Is that a new thing? You could just name when your marriage is over and then it's not cheating. Our marriage was over at that point. I remember Bill Clinton being just like, hey, yeah, when she's under the desk, the marriage is over.

And then we flip the switch back on for public appearances. I've never heard that excuse before. I like that. I like that. Okay. So he did that. And then apparently he was reimbursed for all of the vacations and everything else. Play cut three, please. You said in the affidavit that you roughly shared travel.

correct? Yes, ma'am. Okay. So this roughly sharing travel, you're saying she reimbursed you. She did. And where did you deposit the money she reimbursed you? Oh, it's cash. She didn't give me any checks. So she didn't do cash for her share of all these vacations. Mr. Schaefer, you'll step out if you do that again. Yes, ma'am.

Someone laughed. And so all of the vacations that she took, she paid you cash for. Yes, ma'am. And you purchased all of these vacations on your business credit card, correct? Yes, ma'am. And you included those in deductions on your taxes, correct? No man. I mean, there's so much here.

This is, we're deep into it at this point. But just to think about what they're saying here, because if you back up a little bit, the reason why this is an issue and why this was brought up initially by one of the co-defendants of, as well as Donald Trump and Giuliani and all these other guys, this is a smaller defendant that no one really ever talked about. The reason why it was brought up is if, they're having an affair, he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars from this trial. Fani Willis is motivated to continue this trial for as long as possible because her boyfriend is getting all this cash. So instead of having a pursuit of justice, you have a pursuit of your own financial

benefit because the longer this goes on, the more assignments this guy gets, the more money he gets, and then they go on vacations together, which he's paying for. This is the accusation. And if that's the case, well, maybe the motivation here is not to see where, you know, to get us to justice here for the people of Georgia, but maybe to make sure she gets the Belize and Aruba and Miami and all the other vacations they discussed during this. So that's the reason why this is important partially. The other part of it is that they said the relationship didn't start until.

2022. And if it started before that, they lied to the court. That's a whole other problem. There's plenty of problems here. There's plenty of problems. Their excuse for this that we are supposed to believe, they actually are telling us we should believe this excuse is that Wade buys expensive vacations to Aruba in a bunch of different places. He puts it on his business credit card. And then they go on the vacations. They spend all this money, Napa Valley, thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on these vacations. And then she shows up and just hands him $4,000 in cash, which in turn he never deposits into his bank account. We are supposed to believe, now there's no record of any of this happening because, of course, it's all cash. There's not a cash.

There's no Venmo. There's no cash app. There's no checks. Nothing. It's all cash. And then he takes the cash and never deposits any of it into his bank account. He said he may have given some of it to his children. Oh, of course.

I mean, they may have done that. Now, Glenn, it's important to understand how human beings act. And this series of events has never occurred between any two human beings in American history. There's never been a case ever in history where a man bought something on his business card for $8,000 and then when he showed up for the vacation, his girlfriend paid him back $4,000 in cash, which he never deposited. This has never occurred in the history of human interaction. Well, are you done? No. I keep going for hours on this. I mean, you have no. I mean, you have no idea, you have no idea

what it means to be a black woman. Apparently not. Apparently not. You have no idea what it means to be a black woman. This was her excuse, by the way, Glenn. What you're saying here is not a joke. Oh no, I'm going to give you. This is really what she said. No, it's

not a joke. She's, this is not a joke, Stu. I've got it from the Washington Post. Uh, she explained the two split the cost with Willis paying him back in cash. Thousands of dollars in cash. At the time, many businesses only accepted electronic payments and many people never carry cash. Wade made a mess of explaining why Willis was handing over wads of untraceable dollars.

He began many sentences with, well, here's the thing. And by the time he reached to the end of the sentence, well, there was no thing there. Now remember, this is the Washington Post, okay? But then, then, Wade sat in the witness chair, his gray plaid three-piece suit with his white French cuff shirt, gold cuff links, and powder blue pocket square. He grimaced and smiled and repeatedly referenced his wife's affair as the cause of his filing for divorce in 2021, even though no one had asked him why he split with his wife, but rather when he started his relationship with Willis. But the two have said the romance began to become after he became a special prosecutor afterwards. He had a hard time with the timeline of his relationship. He drank.

lots of water dabbed his face and sniffed even more vigorously. Then they talk about how they started, you know, giving all of the money. Willis lectured the gathered attorneys on the philosophy behind keeping cash on hand. Her father taught her that cash was king and a woman should always be financially self-reliant. And so, yes, she had stashes of cash that she had accumulated over time. and she used it to reimburse Wade. She dipped into it before a trip so she could pay taxi drivers or barter with vendors. Her description of her father's advice was a compressed version of a very complicated history and modern-day habit.

She didn't go into the discomfort that some black people have with financial institutions, or the way in which banks have made it more difficult for black people to do business with them. She didn't mention that more older people believe in keeping ready cash that a significant percentage of black and Hispanic Americans use cash for their predominant payment method. She didn't have to. She simply talked about what her father had told her to do as a matter of independence and power. I don't need any man to foot my bills, Willis said. Wow. By the way, yeah, she kept bringing up the dad.

Like, my dad would be disappointed that I only had $40,000 that my husband, at my house. We just think, okay. By the way, the dad, former Black Panther, in case you were interested why he was so motivated to have cash. He's a former Black Panther,

which just a little note as the possible... Listen to the way you're framing this. Yeah. I'm, I am framing it as someone with a very extreme group at the history of that. Well, let me play the counterpoint here and just point out what the New York Times

said, Willis sat in the witness chair for hours, or more precisely, she reclined in the chair, woman explaining how men define relationships and how they would end them. She did so while wearing a fuchsia dress and a single strand of beads around her neck. Her hair was styled in soft shoulder-length curls and her eye makeup was precise and intentional. Shush, this is journalism. She was a singular bright spot surrounded by a black-robed judge and lawyers mostly in somber suits. Only Willis and her main inquisitor, merchant, who wore a cobalt blue dress under a white blazer, stood out in the room's sobriety. Willis walked into court as a woman on the ropes. Some would say the hearing was a mess of her own making. Others might

believe the whole mess is a distraction for more important matters, but either way, Willis fought back with gobsmacking fury. defiant in power pink. End quote. Incredible. By the way, I think that's the same story that ends this way. The hearing resumes on Friday. Ms. Willis is expected to take the stand for more grilling.

The defense lawyers will likely crowd again onto one side of the packed courtroom. They are, in aggregate, a sea of boxy wool suits and white male faces. My gosh. What the hell kind of? coverages. An aggregate sea of white faces? What the hell is this? It's like they just hired Ebram Kendi to cover the trial. What is going on? It's embarrassing. Here's one thing. We're going to get back to the actual testimony because it's fun eaten. But let me just give you something that I found useful to understand what happened yesterday. Megan Kelly said

yesterday on X. Watch in the Fannie Willis, Nathan Wade hearing, they are toast, capitalized toast. One, her former close friend testified that the romantic relationship began well prior to when Fannie hired him by years, which means they lied to the court. Two, Wade claimed Fannie reimbursed him for all the expensive trips, but no record of that because it was all in cash, OMG. He definitely got caught lying on his earlier court submissions in divorce court and attempted to say the reason he falsely swore that he had no receipts

was because he only had credit card statements. Well, I mean, hello, she writes, I have secondhand embarrassment. Credit card statement, that is a receipt, you dope. He testified he had no records of it. And then yesterday was, you don't have credit card statements? Well, yeah, I have that, but that's not a receipt. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know we were talking to a third grader.

Of course, obviously, I guarantee he submitted credit card statements for purchases and expense reports at his office. I guarantee he's done that as every other person who's ever, you know, given a expense report has done. It's just so bad. And Glenn, like you mentioned the friend who said this started in 2009. which would be basically the whole thing's blown up if they lied about the starting point of this affair. That was the second witness who came in and called by the defense to testify to this fact. The first one they came in was one of his attorneys, and he got out of it with attorney-client privilege. So they had a second person who was going to say it but was able to get out of it on a technicality.

They obviously wouldn't have called him if he wasn't going to say this. and they now have multiple, you know, witnesses, but only one on the record, saying that it was happened in 2019. So it is like, this is a catastrophe for them. And everything that you're getting from the coverage is, number one, she's a strong black woman, and number two, she was wearing fuchsia. Yes, well, it was beautiful. Oh, okay.

It was just beautiful, and she stood out in the room as a bright, bright light. On October 7th last year, the undying monster, that is, Jew hatred throughout history, reared its ugly head once again in the form of a horrific attack on Israelis by Hamas. It precipitated a war and left its terrible grief and dysfunction in its wake. The news cycle moves on, but the situation on the ground in Israel remains one of destruction and deep-seated pain. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, is right there. in the middle of it every day. And they're distributing the essentials like food, medicine, emergency supplies, hundreds and hundreds of people, thousands of people who are now suffering.

Operations like this need help from people like you. With a need that is great, we have partnered now with IFCJ. Visit supportifcj.org to help. IFCJ to help. Every donation is urgently needed to help the people in Israel. Go to the website. Support.ifcj.org. Supportifcj.org. 10 seconds. Station ID. As we get back to this, Stu, I'd like to lead with cut four here. This was during an interview in 2020 with the Atlanta Voice. She wanted to be the district attorney there, Fulton County, and people should, you know, vote for her. Because why? Listen. Because they deserve a DA that won't have sex with his employees.

Because they deserve a DA that won't put money in their own pocket when it should go to benefit children. Because we deserve better. No, it wasn't technically an employee, right? So I guess that. Well, no, he was a contract worker. There you go. So, yeah, not technically. but yeah, doing the same thing

and putting money apparently into his pocket. Well, maybe under his bed. I'm not sure where that money was left. I had no self-awareness at all. Like, you're in the middle of this situation. You know, I mean, think of this. She knows the magnifying glass.

She's going to be under. No, they don't. They don't, Stu. I'm convinced of it. Really? They've never had it. Stu, how many times have we talked to people in the position where they're just about to break out

in some way or another. And we'll say, you have no idea what's coming. Oh, no, I know. I'm fool. Believe me, I know. No, you don't. You don't have any. You haven't been under the white, hot microscope yet.

And then when they get there, they're like, oh, my gosh, I had no idea. These guys are never pushed. They're never questioned. They're never on the wrong side. They haven't. She right now has not felt the white, hot heat of the microscope. on her yet because she's only getting the side from the the republicans she hasn't had the entire apparatus of government and media turned against her and then focused on her like she's an aunt

underneath a uh uh what do you call it glass magnifying glass i guess i'm turning into joe biden my gosh i'm turning into joe biden jillian isn't in the radio hall of fame glenn i'll tell you that much oh my gosh i should go i should go this is where my wife should step in and say, it's time for him. Just exit the stage now. Dr. Jill steps in and says, here, come this way, shuffle this direction. Yeah, just shuffle away. And so, I mean, my kids now should be aware that I'm aware that, you know, something is clearly happening to me.

And I think it's just an abundance of laziness that is really happening. You've had a hell of a couple weeks. You get an excuse on forgetting a couple of forwards right now. Again, I feel I went two weeks ago, packed a bag for two days, and I'm still on the road. And it's not been good. It's not been good. I can't wait to get home. And I'll be back on Monday.

All right. Anyway, magnifying glass. That's what it is. See, I'm just a sweet old man that's just, you know, confused at times. I know what I'm talking about. It's a magnifying glass with the little ant or whatever it is that's crawling on the, you know what it's called. Let me tell you about Burnah. Unless you live out in the sticks, it's not the best idea to practice training with your guns out in the backyard.

Try that in Manhattan. Not a good idea. But you can practice with Burna. Burn a launchers. It's great because you can have, you know, you have the AR. It's not a real AR, but look, just. just like an AR. And this is not a paintball thing.

You know, this is this when, if you get hit by one of these, it hurts. I imagine if you are really close, I think this thing could break a rib. It is, it's powerful. Plus, you have a 60 foot range. So if somebody is, you know, doing something that you don't want to come closer to you, you can hit them at 60 feet with a tear gas pellet. And this thing incapacitates people for about 40, 45 minutes. That's enough time to get away and, you know, have the police arrive.

So Fannie Willis admitted yesterday a lot of things. You know, her attorneys were trying to keep her from testifying, and they were in the middle of making the case, and she just walked up there like a strong, proud black woman, and she stood there, and she's like, mm-hmm, I'm coming to testify, and she did. And nobody could keep her from stopping, talking. You know, the one thing that you learn,

if you've ever had to do anything like this is don't, don't volunteer any information. Answer the question and that's it. Yeah, but no, I should explain. No, don't. You'll open up too many cans of worms. Don't. Right.

Your job is not to be entertaining. Your job is not to fill in the holes in the story. Your job is to give as little as information as possible while answering the question. That is your job in that situation. She took her job more as I was trying out to be the next host at. MSNBC. Oh, that's exactly what she was doing yesterday. Here she is on the witness stand, when questioned about cash that she used to reimburse Nathan Wade. Listen to this. But I always have cash at the house. That has been, I don't know, all my life. If you're a woman

and you go on a date with a man, you better have $200 in your pocket. So if that man acts up, you can go where you want to go. So I keep cash in my house. And I don't, Don't keep cash is good in my purse like I used to. I don't go on many dates, but when you go on a date, you should have cash in your pocket. So my question was, where did that cash originally come from? If it didn't come out of the bank. Cash is fungible. It's fungible.

We had cash for years in my house. So for me to tell you the source of when it comes from, when you go to public and you buy something, you get $50, you throw it in there. It's been my whole life. When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that. Like, to tell you, I just have cash in my house. I don't have as much today as I would normally have, but I'm building back up now. So you just put money in. It's a very good practice.

I would advise it to all women. So in other words, so in other words, she used to have tens of thousands of dollars of cash. And she got that cash by building up, by going into the grocery store and buying her groceries. wait, you would have to pay with cash to get change back. So she would take $100 out and she'd get $50 back in change. And that's how she built up the cash. Now, also, I don't do this anymore. I mean, I spent it all.

Wait, you spent most of it? I'm building it back up. So we don't, there's nobody that can test. or we can't ask you how much cash do you have now? Because if you had $40,000 in cash, I mean, usually that's, I mean, that's something that I would think that maybe, you know, you could have that amount of cash, but isn't that something like the bank notifies and goes, I think they've got a lot of cash? But she admits that it's from her first campaign, which I believe the cash from your campaign,

is pretty tightly regulated. And, you know, I don't think, you imagine if anybody, if I'm running, I'm like, yeah, I just keep all those campaign contributions in my house. Now, I will say, again, we would never get the benefit of any defense if the situation was reversed. But to be fair to her, hearing the way that. I know, I hate the show because of that. I know.

We try to be fair. We never get it in return. I will be fair to her on this one point, which is she, At another point in this testimony did talk about taking out $50,000 for her campaign of her own money. So it was not camp. It was not like she was saying, I took donations and then kept them in cash at my house. She was talking about a large amount of cash she took out to pay for her own campaign. And I think she's trying to refer to what was left over.

Now, she did also say she was almost broke after that campaign. So not a lot of would be left over, I would think, if you're describing yourself as broke to an author. Especially if you're adding to that pile by taking from that pile to get changed. Right. Well, and that's the thing, Glenn, like if you get into a conversation, let's say with the IRS, like let's say they have a tax issue with you. They don't take a, well, look, cash is fungible. I don't know where it came from. Like, you don't get to answer that way.

You have to know. ever, the only people I've ever heard say that are drug lords. You know, I've never heard that before. In fact, I've heard the opposite. If you do have cash, make sure you have a receipt with that cash so you know exactly where that cash came from. Yeah. I've always heard that. Right.

Like the cash part of this is so unbelievable. I mean, look, do some people have cash? Yeah, some people have cash. Some people pay for things with cash. I mean, like, that's not completely out of the realm of possibility. What is out of the realm of possibility is taking this, you know, these large gobs of cash and paying for exactly half of trips that you're going on with your boyfriend. Like, that is just, like, it's just not, that is not realistic.

This did not occur. You know, just not the type of thing that goes on, especially when you add on the fact that the boyfriend then does nothing, does, there's never a deposit he makes with all these thousands of dollars. I mean, just, it's so completely unbelievable. And like, they think they've talked themselves into this untraceable victory here. Like, they just, oh, well, they can't prove that this didn't happen, which probably is true, right? I mean, you could get witness testimony, but that's about it. It's probably going to be really hard to prove that that cash went, did not go from her, you know,

magical stash to his magical stash with no record of it anywhere. It's going to be hard to prove that. But, I mean, does the question

is, does the judge actually buy it? I can't believe that he would. I mean, how could he? I mean, the regulations, Glenn, say, according to the attorneys

in the case, that she's supposed to report any gift of $100 or more. And we have multiple trips of thousands and thousands of dollars

where this woman is going to vacations, I've never been to Napa Valley on a vacation. I've never been to a Ruba on a vacation. But, you know, she's taking really fancy trips for a public servant. Listen to the hatred. Listen to the hatred. All right. Let me, let me hit you up on this then. If you're just going to hit me on the hatred, let me ask you this. Okay. Because I got this, they, by the way, that's all I have, Stu. That's the only thing you can. That's why she's using it.

Well, that's why she made that speech at the church where she said, like, can you believe they're going after these black man and a black woman. This is all about race. Immediately jumped to that because there's no other way to justify this behavior. It's obviously a problem. But like, there's this other thing. Their interaction was fascinating between Wade and Willis. Willis continually kept talking about bizarre relationship details that she was not being asked about.

Did you notice this? This was fascinating. Oh, yeah, I know. How could, if you watched it? Yeah. How could you miss it? At one point, like, she kept making this distinction as when their relationship ended. She claims it ended in August.

And he, she, he didn't say this, but she claims that he thinks the relationship ended in June or July because that was the last time they had sex. And she kept bringing this up. Like, you know, you know how men are. Men think relationships stop the last time you have sex. And I believe it stops when you have an uncomfortable conversation, the breakup conversation. Well, hang on just a second, Stu. May I just point out? He also believes that his marriage is over, you know, long before the divorce proceedings.

When you're testifying, did you have an affair during your marriage? And the answer is no. And you're still married and seeing someone. you don't get to say in a court of law, well, yeah, but that's not how I define marriage. So it's these people. So go ahead. I will say in this day and age, you do get to occasionally make up definitions of marriage. That is something that we have learned over the years you are occasionally able to do.

But so she, so she was saying, okay, well, that's how men think. Now, again, I guess you're just able to just trash all men. That's how men think. Now, I don't have no guy who's like, actually, we broke up on Tuesday, but I think of the relationship ending last Thursday because we hooked up last Thursday. Like, I don't know guys who think it that way, but okay, let's just take that as it is. Then that was not something they were asking about, though. They were not saying, like, you know, she wanted to tell this story.

She wanted to tell the story so bad. And then she says, he, you know, she starts going into the details of their breakup conversation. And the attorney cuts. Now, you're not supposed to do this. this as an attorney. You want the, you want the witness to just run their mouth and hopefully give you details you didn't think were coming. The attorney cuts her off and says, yeah, no, I'm not asking about the details of your conversation. You don't need to go into that. I'm not asking about that. She interrupts him and says, oh, well, you should ask about that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I have to also lead that she went on a rage about how she was being personally violated. Her her most important relationships have been hung out for everybody to see and she is offended that anybody would do that to her. Right. And then she's just privacy violations. Giving all sorts of details and multiple times tries to bring up that Nathan Wade, the guy she was sleeping with, had erectile dysfunction problems. She attempts to do it multiple times and the attorneys keep.

He's like, I'm really grossed out. We don't need to know all of. We don't need to know this information. At one point, and eventually she gets to the point where she can bring it up because the attorneys are trying to get the timeline of this relationship. Again, multiple witnesses are saying it started at 2019. They're denying that. So he's like, well, what about in 2022?

Did you guys have a relationship? Her point on that is it was impossible for us to have a relationship because he had some sort of cancer, which apparently gave. him erectile dysfunction. And again, they keep trying to cut her off before she says this stuff. She eventually gets it out. And then says, I'm sorry. She says, well, I mean, he had issues that would make a relationship impossible if you

know what I mean, but I am not going to emasculate a black man. And the attorney's like, wait a minute. What? Like, we didn't ask you about this. And he's so shocked. He's like, uh, what? And she says, I will not emasculate a black man and then sits back in her chair. I need that audio.

Oh, I need that audio. It was incredible. And you got to think this guy, Nathan Wade, who's, by the way, trying to share this BS story about cash payments and when the relationship starts, like, they're on the same team. They've obviously arranged this story. And he's like, why are you? talking about my weaner? There's no reason. Why is that being, why are you doing that? You wouldn't ask me about a relationship if you saw his weiner.

That was her defense. How dare you? This guy couldn't perform at all. Let me tell you about what he tried to do this one time. Ma'am, stop. Can I ask you this? What I find it so infuriating is there logic never meets. It is never complete. So on one hand, she is talking about how we can't have a relationship. It's impossible. He just asked if your relationship. We couldn't have because his wiener wouldn't work. Earlier, when she's asked about relationship ending, she says, guys only think of that as sex. Women think of it differently. Wait, no, apparently you think about sex, too, because they asked you about your relationship, not, you know, not his weiner. She said it was impossible without that factor.

And then later on said that it's the exact opposite stance. Exact opposite. Incredible. It's really. Oh, it was so fun to watch. You know, sometimes you just like to sit back and watch it all burn down to the ground. I want to talk to you about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is on a mission.

to glorify God also to protect and defend our God-given rights and constitutional rights and freedoms. How do they do that? Well, they decide that the best, and I think this is right, the best charity is great capitalism. Because then they can make something that people want and they can really hit it out of the park. They can make money and then they can take their profits and do with it what they want. And what they want to do is protect the Constitution. They have affordable plans for your budget, excellent coverage, top-knock U.S.-based customer service. This is the parallel economy.

This is what these other phone companies and big phone companies are doing on the left, but they don't tell you that. They just get everybody. These guys are telling us who they are and what they're trying to do. Switch now. Patriotmobile.com slash back. Patriot mobile.com slash back. Or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Yes. Hello, my friend. It is the Glenn Beck program. And we're glad that you're here today. Oh, that was just such a fun moment yesterday. And I mean, it is watching your country burn to the ground. I know.

I know. But it was awful fun, awful fun. And it's really impactful. I mean, it's possible that this entire case gets blown up because of what has happened here, which is obviously a huge, huge story for the country. I think more importantly, even if it does go through, she's done. She's done. I mean, listen, play the cut where MSNBC is talking about how well she did.

This has been a bombshell, and it was a slow, sort of a slow burn. But if you parse the language, huge, huge issues here. And I want to be really clear, this is not about a relationship between two consenting adults. This is nothing to do with that. It's about lying to the court. It's about potential financial gain on the part of finding Willis. Not even so much. That's a second.

That takes the back seat here. The issue is that her credibility is shot. Just as Anthony was saying, if she lied to the court, she submitted something to the court that she knew was false and inaccurate. What else was she lying about? It's a horrible, horrible look for her. I think this case is dead in the water. You know, it's really amazing. Well, we'll see.

This is a real test. Does lying under oath mean anything? We know lying under oath to the Congress doesn't mean anything unless you're on the right. Is that true in a court of law? Does lying to the court mean anything? Or is it just you have to be on the right side now? It's amazing how this reverse racism is working because this is what black people used to go through. wouldn't you learn and say

I don't want that to happen to anyone anymore coming up in just a second we have an amazing guy I want to introduce you to you've probably never heard of him but his outlook on life is fantastic

800889 3070. A couple of weeks ago, I had a podcast with somebody you probably have never heard of. His name is Josh McPherson. He is a preacher in northwest Washington, or actually he's in eastern Washington in the Pacific Northwest. And I saw him, I don't know, on Twitter or something. And he made so much sense to me. I thought, wow, I haven't heard a pastor talk like this in a long time. He's very clear on right and wrong, very clear on who he serves and what the problems are in life. And when I talked to him a couple of weeks ago, I left with a lot of hope because of the way he looks at things.

Well, I heard him talking about what happened in Houston at the Lakewood Church, where the the woman came in and was going to, you know, kill Pastor Joe, Joel and was thwarted. And he broke it down in such a way that I thought you really needed to hear this, because I thought, man, I should do this with every story. Break it down like he just did. Josh McPherson, a very, very positive way to look at life in 60 seconds. Stand by. First, let me tell you about preborn. A baby's heart begins to beat at three weeks.

Did you know that? Five weeks, it can actually be heard on an ultrasound, and the eyes are forming a week after that. By 10 weeks, the baby is sucking his or her thumb. This is a human being, and Preborn is leading the way in the effort to rescue babies from abortion. But you can't rescue the baby without also rescuing the mom. This is what I love about Preborn. They're not just saying, Mom's a baby killer! Save the baby! They're saying Mom is in trouble, and she doesn't have any other options most times.

I think it's like 80% of the women who have had abortions regretted and then say, I just felt trapped. This is what preborn is all about. And this is why they've rescued over 280,000 babies from abortion. And every day, they rescue 200 more. By giving first an ultrasound and then giving help, comfort, postnatal care for up to two years for mom. Become a monthly sponsor, will you? You'll receive stories and ultrasound pictures of the lives that you've helped rescue. All gifts are tax deductible.

Sponsored by Preborn. A man whose church I wish I could attend if I lived in the area, I would be there often. Josh McPherson, welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

I'm very good Glenn. Thanks for having me back. Sure. So when I brought you in last time, you were, you sat in my studio and you're like, I don't even, I have no idea why I'm even here. And it was, that's very true. That was a little confusing experience. Yeah, because we called you out of the blue, but I, as I told you there, you have a, you know, you have a global reach now. If you're on, if you're online and you're posting stuff, you never know who's watching, you never know who's listening. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. What was the take when you got back home?

Oh, my gosh. Well, lots of different experiences, but I think largely just so many of the people in our community, especially our church, are just so grateful for you, your impact, your reach, your clarity, your curiosity, as I mentioned on your show, your humility, and just your willingness to invite, like I said, a Hick from the Sticks to come on your show and talk about Jesus. So a lot of, a lot of excitement, a lot of gratefulness. And like I said, you know, you gave my family top ten experience of our life with the after show after the podcast and things we got to see there at your place. So we were very, very grateful, very grateful.

Well, Josh, I'll give you the $100. I promised you if you said all those nice things. So you did a good job. It came off since then. I remember it was $200. All right, Josh, I want to take this. and break what happened down at Lakewood Church, the shooting there. And I want to break it down the way you've broken it down, one piece at a time, starting with on a human level, because you go through on a human level, practical level, social level, political level, theological level. And it really helps you think clearly.

So let's start with this story on a human level. Yeah, we were chatting as a pastor. you see something that happens like this, and it's so tragic and it's so complex. And instantly, it can become politicized. Instantly, it can be weaponized from one side of the aisle to push for some sort of crazy legislation to, and the focus goes the wrong way. It goes to the wrong problem. And as a pastor, you look at it and go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, on a human level, at a very basic

starting point, this is tragic and complex. There are no easy answers, especially when you have what? what I would consider to be a mentally unstable woman who thinks she is a man, potentially on hormones. We'll never know that if she was. That'll never get out. And she takes her seven-year-old child into harm's way while she is going to attempt to harm other people.

We can just start with the fact that this is tragic and complex. It's complex for her family, her former husband, her in-laws, her Jewish in-law, mother-in-laws, already on the news. It's tragic for her friends, her coworkers, that child's friends. And then you get into the security team with the church, the Sunday school teachers of the church, the pastoral team of the church. Now, every single person attending that church has to deal with the fear and anxiety. It gives us to go to church again. I have people in my church, Glenn, who've been a part of kind of mass shooting events at concerts, couldn't go outside for years, couldn't go back out in public for years. And so just on a basic human level, I think to be

helpful pastorally, we start with the fact it's tragic and complex. And that's where we used to pause for a while. You know, I've been doing radio for almost 50 years. And, you know, there used to be a time where you didn't joke, you didn't make it political, you didn't do anything. It was a moment of pause and reflection, and the whole country did it. Now it goes, if it even goes to the human level, it's not there very long. That's exactly right. And we're lesser for it. I mean, if we as a society can't come together and acknowledge the human element, that this is tragic at every level, then we're less human and we're missing something very, very profound.

So on a practical level, the next thing you looked at. Yeah, the next thing that I thought was, thanks be to God, there was leadership in place. I don't know this church very well of the leadership at all, but thanks be to God, they had the sense to take initiative. to prepare for evil. And that's the job of leadership is we don't make war on things because we hate what's in front of us, but we love what's behind us. And part of being a stronger man, sort of being a good leader, is preparing for worst case scenario. And so, you know, our nation may not be taking very good care of our borders, but thanks for to God, there was a pastor in Texas who is willing to take care and prepare to protective people as church. So on a practical level, having spent six years in law enforcement myself, and having been put in situations where weapons were drawn

and was instant moments away from having to make a live or death decision myself. I guess my first instinct was it's tragic at a human level. And then I was intently grateful for good guys with guns, which is the only thing that will stop bad guys with guns. Then the social level. You asked here, are we even listening? Yeah. You know, it's interesting.

Camille Pagley, I don't know if you're familiar with her. She's actually someone I've listened to quite a bit. I actually really enjoy her. We're kind of odd bedfellows. She's an atheist, a lesbian, self-identified, like lesbian, transgender, professor of Yale and kind of higher learning.

Hold on just a second. America, did you just hear this? A pastor who listens because there's always something to learn from somebody. Even if you disagree with him, There's always something to learn, and you listen and you don't hate. God bless you. All right.

Go ahead. Well, I was listening to one of her lectures, and she's just naturally curious, and she's very intellectually honest, and so I've followed her for several years and just kind of watching the journey that she's on, and when she speaks, she makes a lot of sense. And one of the things that she talks about is she studied androgyny. She's written dozens of books on it and papers, and it's kind of the blurring of men and women. And she talks about historically, she's very intelligent. She talks about the fact that it's inevitable that when a society fixates on androgyny,

it is undeniable and indisputable, little sign that that culture is in its late stage of collapse. She goes through the Greek Empire, the Persian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Roman Empire, and she shows the Weimar Republic, the Republic of Germany. It was late stage. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. She referenced that as well. And she talks about the social contagion that she calls this kind of transgender fixation with androgyny.

And the crazy thing is, Glenn, she points to each one of those cultures, each one of those cultures in their fixiation on androgyny felt they were being two things. One, sophisticated and compassionate. And as an self-about atheist, lesbian, transgender person, she says, I am grateful that there was not a crazy government mechanism in place. to pull me into making decisions that I would have regret the rest of my life when I was 12. Because in my state, Glenn, it's illegal for a government school teacher to reveal to a parent that their child wants to use different pronouns at school. And it's legal for the government schools to transport that child to a, quote, gender therapy center to begin hormonal treatment without their parents' consent.

And that is absolute insanity. And so we have to recognize what's happening here and stand up and say something about it. So on a social level, are we listening when you take a mentally unstable woman and encourage her to be a man, et cetera, et cetera. Next, you talked about political, on a political level. Well, it's crazy to mean. I think there's a wide consensus for this in our nation. I think I hope there is. There's just no ability to understand the pro-Palestinian, pro-hamas, pro-terror movement sweeping our nation,

and quote unquote, at least as we see snippets of it in the news, because there's no question as to the agenda of Hamas, the agenda of the terrorist group. And my question was like, like she had indecutable pro-Palestinian free Hamas messages on her person, on her gun in her, in her social sphere that's being investigated. And it's like, are we learning anything about terrorism here? They are radicalizing the mentally unstable.

They're radicalizing. the weak and vulnerable. They're radicalizing the disenfranchised. And they have one message. It's not love, it's not peace, it's not doing to others as you have them doing to you. It is murder, kill, destroy. And we know that's satanic because that's Satan's playbook. The Bible says that Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And when you parachute into a town and rape women and murder children, you are running the devil's playbook, whether it's in Gaza, Israel, or in Houston, Texas. So we've gone through human level, practical level, social level, political level.

The last one is really your purview as a pastor, a theological level. And let me get to that in 60 seconds. Stand by. We're with Josh McPherson. You need to follow him. Pastor Josh McPherson. You can follow him on an Instagram at Pastor Josh McPherson. his website is gracecitychurch.com. I think this man is, I think he's the real deal.

And I've been looking for pastors like this. And I've found many of them. This guy, I just, for some reason, really connect with. We'll continue our conversation here in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents, I trust. If you've ever had spectacular service, I mean, really good service, you don't just notice it. You're kind of captivated by it, you know? It's a kind of thing that really stands out.

when somebody just loves what they do and they're great at it. Okay. This is the kind of person that we look for when we are interviewing agents to recommend to you at real estate agents. I trust.com. This is my company. The people who are involved in this company with me are just, they're phenomenal people that really, there are listeners and they really get you and they also understand the trust that you've given me. and my company. So we work really hard to get the right agents for you. We put them through,

I mean, the only thing that isn't in on the, on the, on the questioning and the interview is really, the only thing left is for somebody to put on a rubber glove. And it's, it's brutal. But that way, we know who they are. And they know how they, we know how they treat people just like you. They're fantastic. So if you're looking at you, to buy or sell a house, find somebody who just loves their job really good at it and has great, great reputations. It's real estate agents, I trust.com. I don't charge you a dime for it. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Just tell us where you're moving to and from, and we'll find the agent for you. Real estate agents, I trust.com. 10 seconds station I do. This is the one that I just

thought you are so spot on and something I just. don't hear from people, and it is, it's so positive in its nature. We're talking about the Lakewood shooting, Lakewood Church, and what it all means and how we should interpret this, and we've broken down all different categories, and now on a theological level, how do we look at that tragedy? Well, I look at it in two ways, theoretically. First of all, we see things in the physical realm. We don't oftentimes think of things in the spiritual realm. And what we know for sure is that there are two realms.

That naturalism told us in government schools that you can't see it in telescope or Microsoft, you can't believe it. So there's no category for these non-reproducible events that can't be repeated. And so we say it's not real. But the reality is the supernatural, though it's viewed as superstitious by a secular world, the supernatural is real. This is the realm that God is ruling over. and in that realm are Satan and demons, and they attack our relationships.

And so I talk about my church oftentimes, cultural, social media, relationships, entertainment. Nothing is neutral, Glenn. And so if I believe the truth, I'm inviting heaven down. If I believe lies, I'm pulling hell up. If I extend forgiveness to someone, I'm inviting heaven down. If I refuse to forgive someone, I'm pulling hell up. If I treat someone like God has treated me, I'm inviting heaven down. If I treat someone like Satan treats me, I'm pulling hell up.

And so every day we have opportunities to either pull heaven down into our life or pull hell up into our life. And that's what happened at Lakewood when she chose evil and hate and violence. But on a theological level, the problem of evil is what confronts me as a pastor when these things happen. And people tend to ask, why do bad things happen to good people? And of course, I'll be the first one to admit I've walked with people through suicide, death of infants, stillborn babies, cancer diagnosis, Horex in the most horrific of circumstances. And the good pastor knows that people don't need theological Bible answers in the moment. They need physical touch.

They need hope. They need prayer. They need you to weep with them and to walk with them and to acknowledge that no matter what our answer is on the our side of this, that it sucks and it's wrong and it's not how God intended in the world to be. But then as they process through the grief, the questions come. And the question is, why do bad things happen to good people? and my answer pastorally is the premise is false.

Because the real question is, why would God allow anything good to happen to sinners, specifically in a nation that's actively rejecting them? Because as I mentioned, you've mocked maligned, ignored, and abandoned God as a nation, and yet he still loves us and is an extending common grace to the people of our nation every day. And there's so much grace even in the stories I mentioned, you know, that the would-be-killer came between services, that the good guys were there and ready, that she would stop before carrying out her evil plan. So even in the immediate details of this tragic pain, there is grace to celebrate and thank God for.

But on a larger scale, and this is what I mentioned to you, I think, that when we step back, and I'm careful pastoral with this because Christians who run in with like a coffee mug and a t-shirt, bumper sticker verse aren't helpful. I've been in tragic situations, and what wasn't helpful, what wasn't helpful was, it'll be okay, God has a plan. It's like, shut up. This is hard. I just need to, you know what I mean?

I mean, I didn't sit with this. But as time goes by, you need answers. You and I share the story of our daughters, and how do we wrestle? The stories our daughters had to live out when we don't think it's fair. And I go to Genesis 50, verse 20, where Joseph is talking. He's been treated unfairly by his brothers. He's been sold into slavery, into Egypt, into bondage in prison, and he's been faulty accused and gone through all sorts of terrible things.

things, and yet at the end, God exalts him to a place of authority and leadership. He's able to enact righteousness for the nation and save the nation from famine. And he looks at his brothers that it sold them into slavery 30 years earlier, and he says, you intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done to save many lives. And in that, we have a theology that holds. It's not Satan had intentions that caught God off guard, but he's so big and strong that he can figure out a response.

It's like, no, no, no, no, even over and above, and sometimes in the tragedy, God is at work because he's bigger than Satan's capacity to take any of us off guard. And so when people say, yeah, but how can God use evil, hideous acts of violence to bring about any good? I just look at the cross, Glenn, because the crucifixion of the most innocent man to walk the planet was the greatest act of violence and injustice. The world has ever known. And in the moment that Satan thought he won a victory, God was actually bringing about a great act of global revolution. redemption in that same act.

uh in eastern washington what what city are you are you in josh um the great city of winatchie winnatchie okay good apples apples apples apple capital the world that's right yeah uh so uh josh i I want to talk to you about a couple of things. My son and I are writing a book on men, and we're looking for answers on what does it mean to become a man. And I want to talk to you a little bit about that and talk to you on a longer form as well. But first, you know, you were talking in the last break about, you know, if you're, you're either bringing down heaven or pulling up hell. and it depends on what actions you're doing.

And I really struggle with my job, Josh. I struggle hard because I have to tell people bad news a lot of the time. And it feels to me that at times what I do can make people just hopeless because the problem is so overwhelming. Mm-hmm. How do I know if I'm making things worse or better? That's an important question. If you don't have an answer, you can ponder it and we can talk off air, but. Yeah, no, I do think I want to reflect on it because I talked with a friend yesterday, Glenn,

and I said, hey, did you hear about? And then I shared something, you know, negative in the news. And he was like, he's like, no, I didn't hear about it. I know the world's on fire. I don't need anybody to tell me that. And I heard in his voice just this sense of like, I know everything is going to hell in the handbasket. I don't need anyone else to prove it.

It is, it is objectively proving itself before my eyes, not only in the world, Glenn, but in everyone's personal life. Social media has created this kind of facade of, look how good things are going. I have yet to meet a person living apart from Christ, who has had. happy, content, whole. I meet a lot of people who are good at faking it. But across the board when people are broken, they are hopeless, they are frustrated, they are hurt, they are wounded, they are in dysfunctional relationships. Hell is everywhere around them and people are starved for even an aroma, even a glimpse of heaven. And I believe that's what men can bring. And that's

why I'm so passionate about men, found a stronger manned nation. I believe when the men get stronger, everything gets better. That's why we focus on talking to the men in our church. It's like, look, I love women. My gosh, I married one. They're incredible. They're the pinnacle of God's creation. Don't ever let them outnumber you in the house, though, Josh.

I don't know if you've experienced that, but it's 50-50 in my house, so we just stopped having kids right there. I know, I count on the dog. I'm like, the dog's on my side. Yeah, you're in zone defense. Yeah. So I love women. I love children.

It's because I do that I talk to the men. Because when the men get clear, when the men get strong, when the men get humble, when the men become tough to protect women and children from evil and tender, to love and listen to women and children, everything gets better. I believe that the solution, which would be so much fun to talk about later or longer form, I think the solution to every social problem, we think the solution to every social problem, we. are seen in America is less government, more dads, full stop. Yes, it is. It is. Men are being made into one of two things, either just giant, I mean, girls, and all that that means, I mean not literally, but now I do, I guess, mean literally as well.

But either that or they're these, it's the Hulk. I'm going to come in and fix it. And no, neither of those are both caricatures of man. That's right. That's right. Absolutely. So the error of manhood is that we acquiesce in our responsibilities to be dangerous, to walk the perimeter, to defend good from evil, and to be someone that evil doesn't want to reckon with. So we acquiesce that in the home. It's my job to provide and protect my family physically, spiritually, relationally, emotionally.

We either advocate that or we abuse it with a heavy hand. I'm the husband, do what I say, and both of those are perversions of God's good design that said, I made men strong for a reason. I made them physically stronger. I made them oftentimes physically bigger. I made them so that they can protect that which is most precious, namely women and children.

And when men give up that sacred responsibility, to be the protector, the provider, the leader, and the tender lover of God, one woman, and humanity, that is the end sign of culture. When the men lay down their calling of manhood, everyone suffers. I will tell you that it's, it may have been you. I'm not sure where I first heard this, but in the way women are becoming much more liberal and men are becoming much more traditional male than conservative and versus the women who are liberal, to me, it seems like there is, that that's natural, that women are much more the codler, much more the, the, the nurturer, and they see pain and they respond, because that's the way they're built. And they

see pain and they, they embrace it, you know, and try to ease that pain, where guys see trouble over the horizon. And they're like, wait, the Visigoths are coming, quickly. And so you have this, what's happening politically is actually very natural that's happening

in the youth. Do you agree with that? A thousand percent. And then there's perversions of it on the extremes, but by and large, the left side of the aisle is very feminine, very soft. Let's not hurt anybody.

And it's like it's important. That's an important part of our life. It's an important part of our life. However, I would say that if we live in a home and my wife, if she was on this phone call, she would agree with me, if I let her run with her, her natural feminine instincts to its end, our kids would never leave the home. They'd never grow up. She'd have me pay for everything. We'd cover their groceries. And at 20 years old, my son would still be wiping his nose and paying for his groceries.

And that's what's happening with the progressive left. They want to mother our nation to death. And it's killing us because what happens is if we, if we, if the only dynamic in our home was the mother, our children would their maturation process would slow because in order to grow up, you have to take more responsibility for yourself. And oftentimes mothers, that's a hard, that's hard. They got a hard time letting them do that because that means their kid might fail or fallen skin his knee.

And so that's when the dad says, and says, it's okay, sweetheart, he'll be okay. Let's give him some space. He's got to segue these things out for himself. And so when a nation steps in and decides to overmother a people through the grave, you know, hey, we'll take care of you through the grave. You don't need to get up and go out and take a risk and start a business and work long hours and stand on your own two feet.

We're mothering a nation to death. And so, now, the flip side of that is, you know, the jokes on social media is, this is why men don't live as long as women. We would take our kids out and do crazy things way before they're ready for it. And it's like, hey, dad, slow down here. The kid's only three. Let's try skydiving. Right.

Skydiving next year. You know what I mean? Right. It is the balance. There is, you know, we are now living in a world where we're expected to not oppose things. There is opposition in all things. And it's the give and the take. of the two, where they're both, both forces are coming at it, it's that given take that

makes us and propels us in the right direction. That's right. I sometimes use soldier and medic language. It's a little different than male, female, men, and women, but in ministry and shepherds and pastor, some are medics and some are soldiers, and the problem is right now, the medics are shooting the soldiers. And so the medic's job is to make sure that the bleeding stops and people are taking care of and they're patched up and, you know, do no harm and make sure people are taken care of, which is very important and necessary needed. But if the medics were in charge of the war, they'd say, let's pull back, let's make sure no one else gets hurt. And the soldier looks at it and says, hey, I appreciate that.

Keep doing the job, abandonage up the wounded. But I've got to take that hill. And if someone doesn't take out that big gun in the pillbox, we're going to stack more bodies than you have bandages for. So you keep doing your medic thing. I'm going to go charge the hill and take out the bad guys. and then we'll be at peace. And when the medics are angry at the soldiers and you're causing more bloodshed and stop doing it, now the soldier has to deal with not only rounds in the front but rounds in the back.

But when the soldier and the medic work together, caring for the wounded while we take out the evil, it can be a very powerful combination. I mean this metaphorically, man, that's important to remember as I say this. Just like with CEOs, there is a wartime CEO and a peacetime CEO. We are right now struggling between the people who are in America right now are all peacetime Americans. They don't understand war. They just, they just, they understand peace. And we need some wartime citizens that understand, look, look what's coming over the horizon.

You can just, you can keep your life, but we've got to prepare because troubled times are coming. That's right. And kind of the woke hashtag Me Too movement really was an aggressive movement to kind of neuter the naturally aggressive man. And I'm not saying, obviously, abuse is horrible. My gosh, yeah, probably the first one to step up and bury a man who uses his strength to abuse women and children. Nothing makes me see red quicker than that.

And we need to remember that God made men more naturally aggressive. And being aggressive isn't wrong and being. dangerous isn't wrong. It's the great gift of God to men for us to take our danger and our size and our aggression and bring it under self-control so that it's danger controlled, and that we can release that danger like these dear officers did at the right time in a moment of danger to protect hundreds of not thousands of people from evil. And then, you know, I have a picture in my head going and I get emotional time I tell. I'm not sure how long we have, but there's, I was a cop for many years. And there's this incredible video.

of a bad guy who kidnapped his girlfriend's child, has him at gunpoint in the middle of the street, a SWAT team is moving aggressively toward him, and the guy pulls a gun out, puts it at the three-year-old child's heads. And you're watching this video thinking, my gosh, what's going to happen? And everyone kind of freezes, and then just this BA dude steps up, and at about 15 yards, snaps around right past the three-year-old's head and takes out the bad guy. I mean, an incredible tactical act of boldness and violence and aggression. And he runs up and he kicks the gun away.

He pulls the bad guy away and then he sweeps up the three-year-old child. And glad I get emotional with that. I tell it. You can hear the body cam. He's like, put the gun down, put the gun down. Snap. Takes care of the bad guy. Runs up, grabs the kid and says, hey, buddy, how are you doing?

And he starts doing this old goo-go-go-gaga thing with the kid. He takes him over. He says, I'm here. I'm here. I'm okay. You're safe. And it was such an incredible thing. picture of swiftness of violence in the face of the people, and then on a dime transition to that

tender warrior that could hold a child and talk lovingly to him to comfort him. And that's the picture of Jesus. He's both tough in the face of the enemy, and he's tender with us. And the Bible says we have a high priest who is acquainted with our sufferings. And so I think we have a picture of the most fully alive man, the ultimate stronger man, in the face of Christ Jesus. He was tough and he was tender. He was warrior.

He was poet. He was lion. Josh, I just love talking to you. And we'll talk again. Thank you so much. Thank you for your time, Glenn. God bless. And El-May wants me to tell you, she's praying for you and she loves you.

There's this feud going on between then Shapiro and Tucker Carlson and I just want my two friends to get along. You know,

I feel like, I'm going to have you both over for dinner and we're going to work this out because this is not, I can't have my two friends arguing. That would be a good show. I'd watch that.

Well, no, that's not. Glenn Beck hosts dinner with Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. You just talk it all out. I love it. No, I meant our friendship.

We would just get together as friends. Oh, I don't care about your friendship, but I think it would be a great show. It would be a great show, but that would probably not be the way to work it out, Stu. That would just be to exploit it. You see? Well, I mean, how else is it going to benefit me, Glenn? I don't understand what was the... I don't even understand your point. You know, it's so hard because everything is taken out of context and, you know,

things happen so fast and somebody says something somewhere and then, and you just, I just want my friends to be friends because they're both. really good people. And we need them both in the fight. So pray for Ben and Tucker to get along and see we're really not on the opposite side. And I don't think either of them think that. I hope not. I hope that they don't think that. They're just, they're having a little trouble in their relationship right now. 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. This is going to come as a shock to you in case you didn't know. You know, Navalny, the politician that Putin prosecuted and then found him guilty and then put him away in prison forever. That's usually what happens in crazy dictator-like countries. But I have some bad news. And Stu, prepare yourself. It's kind of, it's shocking and surprising what has happened to him.

We'll give it to you in 60 seconds. Stand by first. How'd you sleep last night? You get a good night's sleep? Man, I tell you, I think it was because of relief factor sleep that I slept at all because I'm staying at this Airbnb and it's like a billion degrees hot. I don't know what it is. I mean, I'm getting old and I don't like it hot.

At what point do old people, when can they turn down the fires of hell heat? When does that happen to you? Because I'm never going to be able to sleep. I took some relief factor sleep last night, finally nodded off, and woke up this morning refreshed. If you have a problem sleeping, just like regular relief factor that you take for pain, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free. Blend of natural ingredients, it's designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress. improving mood and promoting relaxation.

I know from experience that it works. Feel the difference. The first night, 1995, unleashed the power of great sleep by calling 1-800 the number 4 relief. 804 relief or relieffactor.com. Last hour of the broadcast, Stu, for the whole week. The whole week. On the edge of my seat.

I don't. Navalny. You remember him? I do. He was probably the most prominent, opposition leader of Putin in Russia. And the Russian courts found him guilty of all kinds of things. There were a lot of charges against Navalny, and they finally got that guy and put him away.

Can you imagine? Super legitimate legal process that led to that. Right. Imagine what it's like to live in Russia. Aren't you glad you live here? So we told you a couple of weeks ago, he was taken from. I think he was in Moscow, and he was taken in the middle of the night someplace. His attorney didn't know where he was for like two weeks. Finally, they say, we took him to the polar wolf Arctic penal colony.

Now, this is a place. It's in the Arctic Circle. And there is no escape because you go outside and you die. So I didn't think this was good for him. You know, I don't think anybody thought, oh, well, he's going to kick back. You know, I think there were some people that thought he didn't even make it there, you know, somehow or another. Oh, it's just, he caught a cold. It was breezy in his head because they found a hole in his head.

But he was out walking, ready? He was out walking last Friday in the polar world, polar world. Polar Wolf Arctic Penal Colony. Apparently, he liked to go outside and walk. Now, does that sound like something in the wintertime, Stu, that you would recommend? You know, no, I would not. And it's, you know, I'm not a fan of exercise generally, but I think this is the type of exercise you should avoid for sure. Yeah, it's, again, in the Arctic Circle.

So he apparently just loved to walk outside and they'd let him. And they said that, you know, 47 years old, he's the guy who went after the corruption and opulence of the crooks and thieves of Russia's elites and Putin. And they said he just went outside for a walk. And then he came back in and he felt unwell. and then, you know, they brought him back to the cell, and he fell unconscious almost immediately. And the prison said, quote, all necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, which did not yield positive results. Oh, you're kidding me.

No. And I am sure they strapped electric wires to him and beat his chest. That's not the way we would put it here. I'm sorry. But so Putin was told about the death. and he said, Hmm. All broken up. All broken up. I think he might have been a little sad because he didn't get to throw this guy from a window, you know?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's a really shock, a huge shocker that this happened. I was really surprised, the most surprising death of all time. Yeah, and I don't think anything else could be said, except this. When I first was told the story, I heard them say, yeah, he was on a walk. the polar wolf. And I didn't know that was the name of the prison.

And I just, I misheard them. I thought they said he was on a walk on the polar roof, Arctic penal colony. And so. And just kept walking, forgot to take a left hand turn. That's really not a good. I mean,

in any way, shape, or form, you're in Russia. Don't walk on the roof. Just, they have a problem. I don't know if they're all slippery or what,

but a lot of people fall from the roof. Imagine the balls of this guy are like two in the middle of all of this going on. Like he has no fear at all for any repercussions as to his actions of just killing people that oppose him. Has no, I mean, all the, all the the microscopes that are on every one of his actions right now and does not care at all. And, you know, I mean, it's, it's incredible. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. we have somebody who's listening earlier to the program a friend of mine wrote in because we were talking about fanny willis opening herself up to embezzlement investigations because her cash do we have that clip can we play that clip please of fanny willis talking about the the cash that she has cut to but i always have cash at the house that has been i don't know all my life

If you're a woman and you go on a date with a man, you better have $200 in your pocket. So if that man acts up, you can go where you want to go. Good advice. I keep cash in my house. And I don't keep cash as good in my purse like I used to because I don't go on many dates. But when you go on a date, you should have cash in your pocket. So my question was, where did that cash originally come from if it came out of the bank? Cash is a, uh, man, this is a Wendy's.

Pungible. Um, we've had cash for years in my house. So for me to tell you the source of when it comes from, when you have, go to public and you buy something, you get $50, you throw it in there. It's been my whole life. When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that. Like, to tell you, I just have cash in my house. I don't have as much today as I would normally have, but I'm building back up now. So you just put money in. It's a very good practice. I would advise it to all women. Sure, sure. So she right now doesn't have thousands and thousands of dollars in

cash like she used to. But she's building back up. Okay. And look, I think she's right. I think it's a good piece of advice that if you're going on a date, you have a couple hundred bucks in your purse because you never know what's going to happen. You want to make sure you're prepared for anything. I think that's a good thing for everybody to do. A lot of people don't use cash now and so they don't carry it ever. And it's like, well, you never know when there's a credit card machine down or the ATM is broke. Who knows what's going to happen? Be prepared with a couple hundred bucks. Sure. Yeah. $4,000 that you're just handing over on random occasions constantly to your boyfriend to pay for luxurious trips all over the world?

Nah, not so common. Not necessarily the same advice. Look, she took some money out of her first campaign and kept some of that cash. Now, here's the good news, because I just got a letter in from a friend who said, so did Fannie Willis open herself up to an embezzlement investigation? She stated her cash hoard, cash was fungible. She used some of her cash hoard for her campaign. Generally, that means she loaned her own cash to the campaign.

Perfectly legal, if records of the money and how much money is moving. When it was over, presumably she got paid back from her campaign via donors, I guess. Remember, she was allegedly a Soros-backed DA candidate. She kept some of that, she said. Well, there must, capital letters, must be records of both of those transactions because there's no way her campaign could have paid her back in cash. So at least she opened herself up to campaign finance investigation for how the money got in and out of her campaign and how she got paid back and how she turned the check or the bankwire from her campaign back to into cash for her hoard. even if her campaign paid her back in cash, there must be a record. Otherwise, it's not legal.

Kemp could refer this in and of itself to the state prosecutor's office and likely appoint a special prosecutor for investigation on this. I mean, it could theoretically be, right, that she withdrew this cash. She at one point talked about withdrawing $50,000 to pay for her campaign expenses in a campaign that she lost previously. So she was complaining about how she had no money. And this is one of the things. That's not possible. It's not possible. Well, she talked.

This is what she said. She did. I know, but may I just, have you ever tried to withdraw a large sum of money from the bank? $10,000? $5,000? Yeah, I mean, not often, but I've attempted. Okay. I don't think, I don't know.

Attempted. Okay. So you go in and you ask for $50,000 in cash. Never does. The bank will tell you, we don't have that cash. You'll have to come back. Tuesday or next week at some point. Is that true?

Oh, yeah. The reason I asked that, I was just reading this story from, and I think it was in our, it's in your email newsletter today, but it's a story about the personal finance woman at New York magazine who got a call from someone who said they were from the government and needed her to put $50,000 into a shoebox and hand it to a guy in a car that was passing by and she did it. I don't know that I'm taking her advice in future columns. but she said in that story that she went in and withdrew $50,000 from her bank account and they

maybe the woman they didn't even ask her what it was for which is to me was shocking the bank doesn't have the bank doesn't have to but she would be setting off alarms over 10,000 right would be reported to the government but I know I have asked for a sum of money and was going to buy something in cash and I would be. I was put through the ringer on it and told it would be two weeks beforehand. Because all of the money in the bank, at least this is the way it is in Texas, all of the money in our banks is not in the vault. They take that every night and they bring it to the treasury. And then the bank has to say how much money they need for daily operation.

So when you go take a large sum of money out, you can't do it right away. Now, maybe that's different in Atlanta, but I highly doubt. it, you know, and why would you take out cash? Well, yeah, and this is what I was trying to get to is like, if you took, if you had $50,000 in the bank and you wanted to use it for your campaign, you would either take $50,000 out, as you pointed out, and loan it to your campaign, which would be a very normal way, politicians. You wouldn't do that in cash, of course, but it would be a normal thing that politicians

do. They take money out and loaned the campaign all the time. That's very normal. However, you would either do it that way, and then there would be all the problems. you just discussed, or you could theoretically take this money out for some reason and not, and give it to the campaign as it's needed, right? Like, you wouldn't necessarily give it all at once. But there would be no reason to do that in cash form.

If you had to withdraw it from the bank anyway, you wouldn't put $50,000 at your house and then loan $1,000 a week to your campaign. It makes no sense. I mean, it makes no sense at all. Why would you have $50,000? Why would you want it in your house? No. It's a terrible.

Anybody found out that you had that in your house. It makes you and your family a target. And like, I don't know. Why would you want that? And how could they find out unless you happen to testify about it in front of the entire country and tell everyone that you usually have tens of thousands of dollars at your home, which she did yesterday, which is a terrible idea. Terrible. And even he said, well, you know, if I had that much money in my house, I would never say that.

Why would I say that? It'd make me a target. He said that. She's like, well, I don't have as much. now, you know, I've got, you know, maybe a couple hundred bucks, but I used to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars in my house. Millions, billions of dollars. I could go on vacay.

I like to pay, you know, I like to pay everything in cash because it doesn't, it, honestly, it doesn't bring up any suspect, you know, on, on my name or reputation. I go to the airport and I say, I want a ticket to Aruba, and I just put $4,000 down at the airport. They love it. They love it. Actually, no, I have my boyfriend pay for it on his business card and then I give him cash in return. It's even worse than you bringing the cash to the airport. It's like, if he turned that in, that bank statement to his business, did he get reimbursed for it? Right. Or did he come to the, did he come to the cashier or just pay that in cash, you know, at the, at his, at his, at his

place of business. It's unclear. He kind of made it seem, they did follow up and try to basically get him on the idea that he deducted this as a business expense, which he denied. He said he did not deduct it as a business expense. So he, you know, and this happens, you know, especially if you're small business owners, sometimes you put stuff on your card. You don't even mean to. That's a personal thing. And you have to make sure you keep detailed records to make sure that you know that that is not a business expense because you. Detailed records. Every, you know, anybody who has these sorts of arrangements, if you have a small business or something, you know how crazy you have to be on this stuff because they'll go after you for anything. So you have to keep detailed

records. You know, if you transfer money from one account to another, you in the note, you make sure you put in there. This is for a personal expense. Like, you have to make sure you're really on top of this and you use the right cards for the right circumstances all the time because any competent person who really cares about getting this stuff right is going to make sure they're all over it. Oh my gosh. These two would be an IRS dream. Imagine being an agent going, please sign them to me. Please let me look at it. All right. And by the way, if they weren't, if they weren't liberals, the IRS would already be knocking at their door. All right, Rough Greens. Rita wrote in

about her dog's experience. She said, my dog, Timmy's medicine is added to his prescription dog food. It's so critical that he eats, but he lost interest in the food after another of our dogs passed away. Our vet suggested another prescription to stimulate his appetite. I decided, hey, let's try Rough Greens before introducing yet another drug into our dog system. I'm very happy that I did. Timmy's not only interested in eating again, but he also wants to go for a walk.

He wants to play with his toys and chase squirrels again. Thank you, Rough Greens. Rough Green's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. the green stuff.

Do you have that clip, Sarah? All right. There's some really interesting things going on. in the AI world. Did you see what Open AI has done lately? Stu? Yeah, the video situation, which is crazy. Text to video.

You open up chat box and you say, hey, I want you to create a scene of two lovers walking down the street hand in hand in, you know, China or Japan. That's exactly what was typed into this new chat GPT. and this is the scene. Now, if you look at that, it's really good, but you could tell that it's AI, correct? You could see that that's computer generated. But it's for being typed in

and then just generated from that. That is incredible. Yeah, and I thought that was, like I saw the same one on the Tokyo streets. That was, I thought, the weakest one. I mean, the one with the, there's a puppy dog one that looks really realistic. Here is the puppy dog, two puppy dogs playing in the snow.

You would not have any idea that that was fake. No. Would you? No, and they're absolutely adorable. Look at that. They got the snow all over their face. They had the woolly mammoth walking through the snow is another one that was created, again, by a sentence of text. And, you know, this is coming so far, so fast.

It's going to be fascinating to see how we unwind. This is another one, Glenn, that you keep bringing this. up that a therapist once told you, you know, sometimes you have to sit back and say, it's going to be really interesting to see how this plays out. That is where I am on this AI stuff right now because it's really bad. Who knows? Can you imagine where this is going to go when it comes to, you know, you want to talk about election interference? Yes, I can't imagine. That's why that's why I don't sleep. I can't imagine it. And it's both things too. It it also gives you like a someone I can't remember the phrase I heard used to describe this.

I think it was the Liars dividend, but it was basically that like it also works the other side. Let's just say Joe Biden is actually caught on tape saying, yes, we're going to manipulate laws to benefit our business and I'm going to get money from Hunter Biden and blah, blah, blah, whatever the thing is. He would just say it was AI and at least half the country would believe him. Like, now real things are going to go the opposite way. I know. Fake things are going to be thought that they are real. We are really at that point. Yeah, you won't know because you won't be able to verify one way or another.

Only the experts are going to be able to verify. Is that real or is that AI? I mean, Stu, we are now at the time. I know I've said this to you since 97. There will come a time when you will not be able to believe your ears or your eyes. We're there. We are there. We just haven't been truly tested with it yet.

But that test is coming, and I'm guessing that test is coming sometime before November. We'll see. More on this coming up. I know that more first responders have died since 9-11 from related illnesses than actually died on that day 23 years ago. There are only two states in the entire country which required to teach kindergarten through 12th grade, kids about one of the darkest days. in our modern history. There are 12. Most kids cannot tell you the first thing about 9-11. Well, the Tunnel to Towers Institute is doing something about that. They're providing non-fiction resources to these teachers to help educate kids. These are full curriculum units with scripted

social studies lessons, activities, and background information for the teachers. Their first-person accounts told through videos and the Discovering Heroes book series. They're all fact-based, and your kids need to know it. They also have a speakers bureau for classrooms, a mobile exhibit which tours with 9-11 artifacts. And then there's the Russell F. Schiller Memorial Scholarships for the children of program

recipients. Never forgetting about 9-11. Will you help us do that? Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org. That's T, the number 2T.org. And is blazedtv.com slash glen. The code right now is free speech. You'll save 30,

What is it that we haven't really hit yet, Stu? That is very, very important to hit, do you think? That's a good question. I know we've certainly gone over much of the Fannie Willis or Fani Willis nonsense today, and that's amazing. And it goes into her embrace of, you know, constant accusation of racism to explain her own behavior and all the things coming her way. One thing I would love to, uh, to talk about if, if you have time, maybe this weekend, and you have to read this book. You have to read this book.

What is it? It's by Coleman Hughes. It's his new book. And it is, let's see if I can just get the name of it real quick. Um, because I just finished reading. it and it is the best book on race that I've read in quite a long time. Oh, I love those books on race. You will, you will legitimately love this book. I think the subtitle of it of it. Oh, here it is, the end of race politics, arguments for a colorblind America. Oh my gosh. Wait, wait, end of race politics. Politics. Arguments for a colorblind America is the subtitle. And it goes through how the civil rights movement was founded completely on a basis of an argument for colorblindness and how the left and, you know, people like Ebram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo have taken that message

and at the same time kind of adopting it and adopting the good vibes around Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement generally, but have completely changed the message to, you know, the CRT stuff that we all kind of observe today. And he just goes through piece after piece of evidence as to why this was not the initial idea, why it's harmful, where it came from, and how flawed it is in every respect and how what the solutions are to solve this problem. If you don't know who Coleman Hughes is, he's an African American gentleman making these arguments, which I guess makes him not a racist, or I guess we have to call him some sort of,

I don't know exactly what kind of racist he is. He has to be a racist if he's making these arguments. But end of the story is it's an excellent, excellent book, you know, and something, it's an important book, I think. It's one of those things that should change the dynamic. And I think like if, even with people who are on the left, I think this would be, is an effective message. Because I think if you put his words next to Ibram, Kendi's words, there's almost no one in America that would choose Ibram Kendi. You know, the idea that the only solution for past discrimination is present discrimination and the only solution for present discrimination is future discrimination.

That is totally against what I think even left-wing Americans believe. And looking at this as just saying, hey, let's give everybody equal opportunity and not be outwardly racist like we saw, you know, 40, 50 years ago, approaching it from a colorblind perspective and doing everything we can to encourage, you know, colorblindness in everything from resumes to, you know, college applications and all these things is a real positive. And honestly, I think every Democrat that at least I know would agree with that. So I've got to read it, despite the fact that you said, it's a very important book. I really do think it is, though. Like, there's a few of those that I, there are a few of those I feel that way about. Yeah.

It sounds like that way, but nobody ever wants to go to a movie that's a very important movie. It's also very interesting. And it's a, it's well presented. You're right. I don't want to seem, it's, it's, it makes it sound ostentatious. But it's like, it really, I think it really is in this moment, Glenn, something. Like, as soon as I was finished reading it, I'm like, Glenn Beck has to do a podcast with the sky. Like, you have to have an hour long conversation. Let's line it up. Let's line it up. I'll read. I'll start reading the book. Students in Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of white supremacy. This is in the Seattle Public Schools High School. The lesson plan, one local father speaking out, calling it educational mel practice, said as part of the Black Lives Matter program at School, the world literature and composition students at Lincoln High School were given a handout with definitions of the nine characteristics of white supremacy. According to the father of a student, given the subject matter of the class, father wound up saying, please, can you not use my name.

The Seattle high schoolers were told that worship of the written word is white supremacy, because it is an erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other. That's why, unless you speak, you really don't understand the context. and it's, you know, it's hard to get the meaning out of a book with, anyway, the world. You know what I'm saying, too? You've mastered that accent. You can't tell that I'm not just a native speaker.

Anyway, I'm learning that language. I just want you to know, I, you know, I'm not good at, I'm not even good at the English language, but I have a feeling I could master that one. that's me saying maybe not though maybe not by this definition of the very subject of world literature and composition is racist it's racist to

honor a form what is written and even only when it's written to a narrow standard full of misinformation and lies that's what they're that's what they're learning in Seattle

meanwhile San Francisco has reversed their equitable ban on middle school algebra, and all the kids are very disappointed in that, very, very disappointed. The transgender issues charter school has some people really upset. I can't imagine why. It's just a whole charter school that's based around gender and your gender environment. National magazine has named drag queen Patagonia as Traveler

of the Year. Wait, she's the Traveller of the year? What? Traveler of the year. Yeah. What does, how do you win that award exactly? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I think I probably could have told you before, but now Patagonia

has been she's a intersectional environmentalist drag queen. who advocates for inclusivity in the outdoors. So are we banning? I think we should probably leave that where it is, don't you think? It's interesting because the only time I can remember anyone being banned from going outdoors was when they stopped us doing that from COVID.

Like Gavin Newsom didn't allow you to go to the beach. But are we now banning? No, no, she wants you to be inclusive in the outdoors. Right. Was there a fight against inclusivity of the outdoors? Doors? Have you ever been into the woods? My gosh, you bigot. Have you ever been in the woods where the white owls just mock the other owls? No, is that what happened? I guess if a tree falls on one, we wouldn't know about it. The white ferrets that are out there, they're just, they command all of the other ferrets.

Are there white? I've never seen a white ferret. I guess there are. Of course there are. Of course there are, Stu. the white ferrets control the woods. But I'm not going to tell it to you. You'll never get it. All right, back in just a second. No, I won't. First, let me tell you about good ranchers.

and normally we don't respond to them because they're just, you know, we can't help it. But somebody said earlier on in the program, it was wildly inappropriate what we were saying about Fannie Willis. And I don't, do you recall any of this, too? No. Mind that we were very, I mean, Fawny. Maybe they were saying they don't like the way you're saying Fannie Willis.

Oh, okay. So Fonnie Willis. And I don't remember. Can you play back the part where people said that they were offended? There was this other thing. Their interaction was fascinating between Wade and Willis. Willis, Willis continually kept talking about bizarre relationship details that she was not being asked about.

Did you notice this? This was fascinating. Oh, yeah. No. How could, if you watched it, how could you miss it? At one point, like, she kept making this distinction as when their relationship ended. She claims it ended in August. And he, she, he didn't say this.

but she claims that he thinks the relationship ended in June or July because that was the last time they had sex. And she kept bringing this up. Like, you know, you know how men are. Men think relationships stop the last time you have sex. And I believe it stops when you have an uncomfortable conversation, the breakup conversation. Well, he got just a second, Stu. May I just point out, he also believes that his marriage is over, you know, long before the, you know, long before the. divorce proceedings when you're testifying did you have an affair during your marriage and the

answer is no and you're still married and seeing someone you don't get to say in a court of law well yeah but that's not how I define marriage right so it's these people so go ahead I will say in this day and age you do get to occasionally make up definitions of marriage that is something that we have learned over the years you are occasionally able to do. But so she, so she was saying, okay, well, that's how men think. Now, again, I guess you're just able to just trash all men. That's how men think. Now, I don't, of no guy who's like, actually, we broke up on Tuesday, but I think of

the relationship ending last Thursday because we hooked up last Thursday. Like, I don't know guys who think it that way, but okay, let's just take that as it is. Then that was not something they were asking about, though. They were not saying like, you know, she wanted to tell this story. She wanted to tell the story so bad. And then she says he, you know, she starts going into the details of their breakup conversation. And the attorney cuts. Now, you're not supposed to do this as an attorney.

You want the, you want the witness to just run their mouth and hopefully give you details you didn't think we're coming. The attorney cuts her off and says, yeah, no, I'm not asking about the details of your conversation. You don't need to go into that. I'm not asking about that. She interrupts him and says, oh, well, you should ask about that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I have to also lead that she went on a rage about how she was being personally violated. Her most important relationships have been hung out for everybody to see,

and she is offended that anybody would do that to her. Right, and then she's just... Privacy violations. Giving all sorts of details and multiple times tries to bring up that Nathan Wade, the guy she was sleeping with, had erectile dysfunction problems. She attempts to do it multiple times, and the attorneys keep cutting them.

I'm really grossed out. We don't need to know this information. At one point, and eventually she gets to the point where she can bring it up, because the attorneys are trying to get the timeline of this relationship. Again, multiple witnesses are saying it started at 2019. They're denying that.

So he's like, well, what about in 2022, did you guys have a relationship? Her point on that is it was impossible for us to have a relationship because he had some sort of cancer, which apparently gave him erectile dysfunction. And again, they keep trying to cut her off before she says this stuff. She eventually gets it out and then says, and then says, I'm sorry, she says, well, I mean, he had issues that would make. relationship impossible if you know what I mean, but I am not going to emasculate a black man.

And the jury's like, wait a minute, what? Like we didn't ask you about this? And he's so shocked. He's like, uh, what? And she says, I will not emasculate a black man and then sits back in her chair. I need that audio. Oh, I need that audio. It was incredible.

And you got to think this guy, Nathan Wade, who's, by the way, trying to share this BS story about cash payments and when the relationship starts. They're on the same team. They've obviously arranged this story. And he's like, why are you talking about my weiner? There's no reason to me. Why is that being? Why are you doing that?

You wouldn't ask me about a relationship if you saw his weiner. That was her defense. How dare you? Her defense. This guy couldn't perform at all. Let me tell you about what he tried to do this one time. Ma'am, stop! Can I ask you this?

What I find so infuriating is their logic never meets. It is never complete. So on one hand, she is talking about how we can't have a relationship. It's impossible. He just asked if your relationship. We couldn't have because his weiner wouldn't work. Earlier, when she's asked about relationship ending, she says, guys only think of that as sex.

Women think of it differently. Wait, no, apparently you think about sex, too, because they asked you about your relationship, not, you know, not his weiner. She said it was impossible without that factor. And then later on said that it's the exact opposite stance. Exact opposite. Incredible. It is real.

Well, Stu, I don't know about you, but I don't think we have anything to apologize for. It might have got a little too medical and technical there at the end. Yeah, you know, sometimes we get too deep into biology and we realize not everyone's a scientist. I got that. That's our fault. If you didn't watch this testimony yesterday, we couldn't stop watching it. You've got to watch it. It is so entertaining.
