Some of the migrants have given up and gone back home, but some are still waiting at the border. And they have selected a leader representing the group, and he's decided to step forward, and he made a list. He checked it twice. Well, we're not supposed to check who's naughty or nice. We did. Now, remember what I said back in October. this was a leftist act

against the government of Honduras by the people with ties to Venezuela and Cuba well Glenn that's crazy that's just crazy is it I want to introduce you to the new leader

Stu. Stu and his ugly sweater sitting there. Ugly sweater. Ugly sweater. That's an adorable sweater. It's a Philadelphia Eagles sweater. Yes. With the snow coming down into the stadium, which is entirely empty.

Which is entirely accurate. Eagles fans show up. They might be thrown, you know, snow balls of Santa. not playing around the holidays. That is inaccurate. Did you miss the last year? I said they are usually not playing at this time of year. So that's a very accurate sweater.

Anyway, let me tell you about X-Chair. Ex-chair, you can get this for the Eagles. So when they're sitting at Christmas and they have nothing to do, they're just sitting around, they're in an X-chair. That would make it a lot more comfortable. Watching a game in an X-chair is something I can get into. That's right. And I bet all of the.

the players for the Eagles good. Like, I don't know why you're bashing the Eagles. This is the one year of my life that they actually don't deserve to be bashed. All right. So I can bash them right after Super Bowl? Right after the Super Bowl? Right after the Super Bowl. I'm going to have to deal with it.

But I still have another couple of months. All right. Okay. Maybe. Maybe I'll consider it. But you're setting me off with the Eagles sweater. So anyway, get your ex chair. Did that just light up?

It may be a light up sweater. Oh my gosh. It is a light up sweater. Oh, my God. Well, you can't wear a sweater without LED bright lighting. Oh, my God. Super Bowl champions. You know, we used to have this quaint tradition of an ugly sweater that was made by somebody who loves you.

Now we are going out and we are saying, I mean, it's a society. They're going to, they're going to find these ugly sweaters someday. Archaeologists will be like, boy, they had bad taste. Anyway, the X-chair. Get it for Christmas. Get it for somebody that you love. Get it for somebody who works really, really hard, has a bad back. Or, you know, my wife just wants a new ex-chair for the office at home.

She's sitting at the office at home. You know, doing all the real work of the family. I'm going to be really honest with you. She should be sitting in an X-chair. It's on sale now for $100 off.

Let me tell you about our update on the border. Beed-beep, beep, beep. Name Alfonso Guillero. Love Alfonso. Alfonso fan. Oh my gosh. Yes. So he walked into the U.S. consulate in Tijuana, Mexico. And he said, I have a list of demands from the caravan. Now, I always like to hear, you know, the people who are like, help me, help me, please. When they come up, help me, help me, please, I've got a list of demands. And it always kind of works for me,

softens my heart just a little bit. So he's got a, he's got a list. The caravan is demanding if they're not granted immediate asylum, asylum, they want the following. One, $50,000 in cash for every caravan member. I think that sounds reasonable. $50,000 in cash for every caravan member. Have you tried to catch a bus back to Honduras from Tijuana? Very expensive. Long bus.

So they're saying these things, if we give them these things, they'll leave. The leave. The leave. Otherwise, we will not go anywhere. Is it a French caravan? Is that what that was? I bet there are some French people there. Probably.

Yes. After all, we've heard that some of the worst people are in the caravan. There's got to be Frenchmen. Two, the immediate removal of all U.S. economic and military assets in Honduras. Okay. Well, that's a nice house. Hold it just a second. Wait a minute.

And failure to comply with these things will result in the caravan continuing to try to penetrate the U.S. border. Help us, help us, please. Let me give you a list of some Marxist things. So they want 50 Gs each and they want us to remove all economic and military assets. Now, if their goal was too much military power for the United States and dealing with their country, why would they want to come to the country in the first place? Yeah, let me ask you this.

If they were like, hey, we're really, really poor. and it's really bad in Honduras, why would you say stop sending us money? Hmm. It's almost as if there's another motivation. Could be. Could be. Now, it's just, maybe it's probably just me. But if you're trying to appear like, you know, a grassroots movement, you know,

for, you know, a group of migrants who are just trying to escape the dangers of your own country, you might want to tone down the crazy Marxist rhetoric. just a little bit. I mean, sure, it's the holidays. Who doesn't love the leftist freedom fighter stick? You know, we all love that. But demanding millions of dollars

and the removal of U.S. military from Honduras kind of screams, hey, we're Marxist communist revolutionaries. I'm a Marxist terrorist, doesn't it? I mean, you're not wearing the shirt that lights up like yours? Mm-hmm. But almost.

Almost. Okay. This is the same thing as if you would have come up to the embassy wearing a beret, shouting, Viva the Revolution, while firing off on, you know, an RPG. I mean, it's, you know, come up on your motorcycle looking like Che. So this is just angry rhetoric. Isn't it? Isn't it still?

I mean, what I just said about this poor man who is just looking for a silence. Mr. Giero, he is, he's just the poor guy just like you. He's got a family. Back in 1987, he tried to get asylum in Mexico. And he got asylum in Mexico. Well, he was suspected by the Honduran and U.S. government for, wait for it, Marxist left-wing terrorism. Oh.

It's just weird. Well, everybody's got a couple of shirts. Sure, of course. Of course we all do. 1984, Honduras was ground zero for the U.S. and Soviet proxy forces fighting in the Cold War. The contra rebels

were actually based there, and the leftist terrorist would sometimes carry out operations in the country in response. So it was August 8th. A bomb was thrown into the China Palace restaurant, which of course,

imperialist, capitalists, and their China Palace restaurants. Anyway, it was just a few miles away from the U.S. military base in Honduras. Six American soldiers were injured in the blast. Alfonso Guillero was the primary suspect. He escaped to Mexico and claimed asylum. The Reagan administration charged the Mexican government for, quote, harboring a terrorist for granting Guillo protection.

Now, that's the past. Giro's turned his life around. Oh. Now he's just a poor struggling, Honduran. Who doesn't wish anyone harm? He just wants a better life for his family. With the Soviet Union gone, Marxist terrorism does not pay what it used to. It doesn't.

How is it? He's struggling every day. And the millions of dollars that he's done. demanding and will help them. And he's just asking for a little, you know, just a few little political things for his country. Just a few demands. When will the media actually come out and go, oh, wow, we got that one wrong?

Answer, never, because they didn't get it wrong. They were lying to you from the beginning. Anyone with any common sense or an ounce of honesty could have seen this thing coming from the beginning. Oh, and we did. But anybody who did their homework, anybody who did say these things, they were, of course, labeled an extremist, a hate monger, a racist, a danger to society. as I see it, the former Marxist terrorist is probably the real danger to our society. Friday. I love that.

Because the actual, they did the politicact lie of the year just came out. But they also do a reader's poll at the same time. They give you a bunch of options. And the number one, the winner was Donald Trump lying about the caravan. Wow. The winner. I mean, do we have time for this or should we do it here in a second? do it in a second.

Lifelock.com promo code Beck. We break now for 10 second station ID. This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, the Polite Effect lie of the year, I think was actually, a fair one this year. I did too. I was shocked. It was shocked.

It was the lies about the Parkland students. And, you know, there was a lot of controversy around that. But the lies they highlighted were things like they were crisis actors. And, you know, that one of the kids ripped up the Constitution, which was a Photoshop situation. Like, it was stuff like that. And those were, you know, conspiracy theory sort of stuff. It was not the normal political statement.

However, they did give the options to people. and people, their readership, did not select that particular lie. The lie they selected. Wait, wait, wait. And they will say, oh, my gosh, see? Look, that just shows that people believed that or people wanted to believe that or whatever. No, we just think that was such an obvious lie. I mean, I can live with that being the top lie of the year because it was such a big lie,

but it was so ridiculous that nobody believed that except crazy people. Yeah, it was all, you know, I mean, These things do get spread around widely. They get lots of views, but that does not mean everyone believes them. Correct. A lot of times we confuse something that has a lot of views. Right. Something that's actually having influence.

It wasn't the most influential lie. It wasn't the one that caused the, the most confusion. Pretty much everybody heard that and went, that's ridiculous. Yeah. But, I mean, again, there really was a shooting in Parkland. And the fact that people tried to say that, you know, these people weren't victims. And it was really, yeah, yeah. No, no, no.

It was horrible. horrible lie. It is a weird one for them though, because they usually will pick something that's a little bit more contentious politically. Yes. Unless it involves a Democrat. There you go. They've had a couple though. I mean, Obama, Keep Your Doctor, was the lie of the year. Yeah, two years after he said it. Was it two years after? I thought it was this. I believe it was two years after he said it. It's possible. Could be. Maybe not. Too late. Too late anyway. Yeah. After it was passed. That's for sure. But the false statement that the readers chose as the lie of the year for Politifact was this one from Donald Trump. Quote, the Democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal aliens into our country. And then they want to sign them up for free health care, free welfare, free education, and for the right to vote. Now, pause for a second here.

Trump is, you know, a lot of times will illustrate an issue that a lot of people talk about. And he'll, you know, he'll go a little too far maybe, right? Like, he'll, he'll say it too definitively, right? like he's not necessarily capturing the nuance of a statement in an off the, you know, and an off the cuff sort of comment. This one, though, however, when you break it down, is pretty accurate, okay? The Democrats want to invite caravan after caravan of illegal aliens into our country. What is their answer to the caravan?

Their answer to the caravan was not to stop it. It was not to say you are not allowed to come across the border. It was to allow people to claim asylum and then allow them to come into the country. And then over some period of time, they would go through the asylum process and they would have to show up to court appointments, which we know a lot of them don't do. But they never admitted to saying, okay, we want them to come in and be citizens tomorrow. But they did want to say, if they claim asylum, they come in the country and they hang out here until the asylum process is over. Their solution would have caused caravan after caravan after caravan. The difference here is Donald Trump, use the word invited.

They didn't invite. No, they didn't send out engraved invitations. Although some of the groups related to, I mean, he said the Democrats, I mean, the Democratic Party maybe not, but the people who were doing those invites and were working on those caravans, as we highlighted, were very friendly to the Democratic Party and were influenced and funded by Democratic donors. Yes. So it's not, again, it might not be exactly to the. It's not like you can keep your doctor. Right. It's not.

It's not that. You know, again, invite I'll give you. is a little bit different, but there is a justification for that. But then, and then they want to sign them up for free health care, free welfare, free education, and for the right to vote. Did they want them to go to schools, for example? Of course, free education is absolutely on the table. The right to vote, they've been talking about a citizenship pathway for people like this

for a very long time. They're already signing them up. In California, they were trying to sign them up in California. Whenever you say, you complain about sanctuary cities, what do they do? They give all of these things away. and free health care is the one that really is driving me crazy on this. Free health care, part of, obviously, depending on your income level, is part of the Affordable Care Act.

Let me quote from Hillary Clinton's 2016 platform, expand access to affordable health care to families regardless of immigration status. That was in her platform to give the Affordable Care Act to illegal immigrants. It was the thing, if you remember, going back so long ago, but you'll barely be able to remember this. But do you remember the representative from South Carolina, Wilson, who said, you lie to Barack Obama? The thing he was saying you lie about is he was saying,

in reality, you want to give the Affordable Health Care Act to illegal immigrants. He was, and Obama was saying he wasn't going to do that. Well, guess what happened in the 2016 campaign in the platform of Hillary Clinton quoting from Hillary Clinton.com? It is exactly the thing that he was saying was being lied about. he was absolutely right. And this quote about it being some crazy fantasy that Donald, that the Democrats want to invite illegal immigrants in and give a bunch of stuff away from them,

it's all in their platform. It's what they say is the heartless part of the Republican Party that we don't want to give away these free things to illegal immigrants. So the average, the readers that responded to this actually were saying, no, the bigger lie was what Donald Trump said, happening on the border. Yes, that's what they said. That's insane. I mean, it tells you a lot about the people going to Politifact that they're obviously very, very liberal.

In fact, that one more than double, more than double the percentage of people who thought this was the biggest lie. The Russian state has never interfered into internal affairs, including election process, Vladimir Putin. They actually, they gave Donald Trump 36% of the vote and Vladimir Putin who said that Russia has never, not even in this election. but has never interfered in U.S. Internal Affairs, which we all know to be false.

There's been numerous people caught doing it. And that one isn't a big lie. Although I will say my favorite lie comes in at, let's see, down there at seventh or eighth place. It's from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She said, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. No, no, honey, no. No, I don't want to talk down to you, but I feel I need to.

Yeah, gay. That's not the way it works, sweetheart. That's not the way it works. I mean, this is a person with a masters in economics. I am telling you, if I had a kid at BU, I would be calling the administration and saying, hold it just a second. Is it fake news or did you give an economic degree to this woman? Yes, we did. Okay, I'm pulling my kid out.

I mean, how does that, the most shameful thing, I think, the most shoddy work, a build, you know that building in San Francisco that they built and they sold those apartments for, you know, millions of dollars and it's collapsing and they don't know what to do with it? That looks like a genius move in shoddy workmanship compared to be you. unleashing Ocasio Cortez out with a degree in economics when she says things like, no, the only reason why you people are so stupid. The reason why the economic numbers or the unemployment numbers are so low is because people have two jobs.

That's not how that is calculated at all. And she also goes on to say, and it's because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week. Like, no, that's not how the statistic is calculated, man. Don't even. You have a degree in economics and you don't know. the basics about... It's amazing. Again, like, she's not the only one in Washington who is completely...

No, but she's the one with the economic degree. Hello. And they mock Republicans. Remember that one of the... Yes. Brooks and Alabama. Yeah. Mo Brooks. Do you have an economic degree? Yes, ma'am, I do. Highest honors.

Yeah. Yeah. But we're the dummies. You're listening to... Let me tell you about Liberty Safe. It's a great American company. been one of us our longest sponsors, been with them for years and years and years. Now they have become the preeminent brand name in safes.

In fact, if you go to Cabela's, you will see a Liberty Safe next to a Cabela safe. Cabela's has asked Liberty for a favor. And Liberty said, what's that? And they said, can you, can you, I know we asked you, but can you take the name Cabellas off of these safes and put Liberty back on? because we make, Liberty makes all of the Cabela safes.

Right. And so people are like, yeah, I like that one, but I want a Liberty. And they're like, okay, it is a Liberty Safe. Right. It is the brand name for safes. You want a good quality safe. Liberty Safe is the one you're going to need. It makes a great Christmas gift.

Check out all of their specials and financing at LibertySafe.com. LibertySafe.com. A great Christmas present is a subscription to blazedtv.com. use the code Beck Christmas, you're going to get $20 off right now. Welcome to the program. So glad that you have tuned in. This is the Glenn Beck program, and I noticed that Pat's not wearing this ugly Christmas sweater, even though it's ugly Christmas sweater day here at the radio ranch.

And neither are you. No, I'm wearing a sweater, but everybody says all of my sweaters are ugly, so I just wore a sweater. But they always say you look ugly in your sweaters. That's a different thing. It's a totally different analysis of the situation. So anyway, but I'm not. I am wearing something.

I thought I would, you know, the holiday cheer, I thought I would wear my holiday bling here. Nice. So I have a big gold chain with big block letters that say, ho, ho,

ho. I'm not sure if this, I'm not sure if this makes me a pimp. It does look pimp-esque. It does. It's kind of like, I don't know if I'm bringing holiday cheer or if I'm saying, come to see me for the hose,

because I've got three of them. Both can be seen as holiday change, depending on your perspective. Right. Okay. So Pat, welcome to the program. What is it that you want to tear down and yell about today?

I'd like to tear down the war on baby it's cold outside. Are you following the ridiculousness of especially campus reform just went out to campuses and asked kids if baby it's cold outside should be banned. And several radio stations across the country have banned it this Christmas season. they've taken it off their playlist. Makes me want to play it all the time. Doesn't it though? Yeah.

I just like to nonstop play baby. It's cold outside. Can I ask you a question? What happened to that American rebel? What happened to Pat, you and I, you and I, we both know, we both know, we would have said, well, you maybe you would have been in the room when I was told, don't do that. And you know I would have done it. You know, I would have looked at you and said, well, I just guaranteed that. Absolutely.

Right? Absolutely. What happened to that spirit of the 20-year-olds? And you remember how pissed off people supposedly were or were when Clear Channel supposedly banned the Dixie Chicks? Yes. Banning things was bad. Why are you banning? First of all, Clear Channel didn't ban the Dixie Chicks.

A few stations did as a stunt. But the corporation never took a stand against the Dixie Chicks. It was stupid. But now all of a sudden banning things. is really good to do. And you should be taking things off of the market. Think of this. Think of Lenny Bruce. Lenny Bruce inspired Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

George Carlin said he was the guy that made me say, I'm going to do that. Lenny Bruce was arrested over and over and over again because he was saying things. He was pushing the boundary. Right. and he was saying things that everyone said, you can't say. And so he was, I mean, I don't know if you know this.

He died of a heroin overdose in like, I think, 65. He, they destroyed his career. Destroyed his career because the media dogpiled with him. Here's this brilliant comedian who inspired some of the best comedians of all time. And where the liberals,

that's what you were supposed to be for. freedom of speech. Yeah. Now where are you? The opposite. The opposite. Baby, it's cold outside. And it's so ridiculous.

The song was written in 1944. I'm sure they weren't talking about slipping mickeys to women in 1944. Do you know what that? Do you know actually the meaning behind it? It was actually in 1944, it was empowering. It was meant to empower women because women couldn't be coy. They couldn't say, no, I'm going to stay here. They had to be prim and proper.

So this was a racy song that was empowering women. It's amazing. It's incredible. And are we supposed to believe now that interaction between men and women just can't happen? Like if you're a couple and she says, you know, I got to go home. You just have to leap up and help her to the door immediately. You can't say, no, can't you just stay a little bit longer? Right.

There's no. Pour another drink and I'll, you know. take off your hat. That's raped now? Are you raping a girl if you ask her to stay longer? It is unbelievable to me. Some of these things are they call it sexual coercion. Yeah.

On college campuses, that's what they're calling it. I was raped by my grandmother every time I went to visit her. Every time. I tell you what, no, stay a little longer. I'm going to fix you something to eat. Rape! Rape! Rape!

Really, really icky, but thank you. But it's true. It is true, though. It is true. The guy's not threatening her in the song. He's not, he didn't bound and gag her. Well, you haven't listened to my, you haven't listened to my 10-year-old rant. Oh, I haven't heard that.

It's a decade old. It's on glenbeck.com, front page of glenbeck.com. You have to go back. So in 2008. Okay, so, yeah, 2008. I come on the air and it's Christmas and we see the direction that it's going. And I'm like, you know what a song is that you really should be pissed about? Now, it's all tongue and cheek.

It's all tongue and cheek. Thinking it would never happen. It would never happen. It was supposed to be a ridiculous example of the way things were heading that we shouldn't never get to. Do you have that? Oh, yeah, it's on glenbeck.com. I took it apart line by line.

We should play it maybe in the 8 o'clock hour or the, I'm sorry, the third hour. I don't even know what time zone I'm in anymore. Play it in the third hour. Yeah, I should. And listen to it. because it was ridiculous at the time. But at least the beginning of it is exactly what they're saying. Yes.

It's crazy. Yeah, it is. It's nuts. And campus reform went to the, went to, I think it was NYU. And he was asking students if they should be banned. And all of the students at the beginning said, yes, absolutely. One of them had even written a thesis on it in college about how terrible was. And then he turns it around.

Wait, hang on just a second. Mm-hmm. Let's just mourn for his parents just for a second. They paid $40,000 a year to get him to write a thesis about a Christmas song. Oh, my gosh. So ridiculous. His grandparents, if they were part of the greatest generation, they rose from the dead. And if they would have had anything but spirit hands, they would have choked him to death.

This is what you've done with the freedom we granted you. Oh, my gosh. Because the song is obviously to anyone who. who knows anything about anything is she wants to stay and she's looking for a way to justify it. She's looking for a way to be talked into it, right? That's what she, that is the intent of her. She's saying, oh, I probably should go. And he's saying, well, let me give you a really bad excuse as to why you can stay this one time.

What if you catch pneumonia and die out there? Exactly. You'll probably die and you'll be like Jack Nicholson in the end of the Shining. You're going to be outside and your race is going to be frozen and you don't want that to happen. So stay. I mean, and she's, she wants to stay. That's the part of the song. And at the end, by the way, she does.

She does stay. Yes. So he can rape her. Right. Kill her and throw her in the fireplace. You know that's what happened. You should hear the sequel. We should write a sequel.

Well, what happens when she stayed? Did you hear the one yesterday? We had a sequel yesterday. Do we still have this Sarah by any chance? We have a sequel to it? Yeah, there's a new version. What happened after? No, this is what a new version of how it's supposed to happen.

in 2018. Oh, good God. And it's serious, I would imagine. Oh, of course it is. Oh, no. Do we have that one, Sarah? Do you know? That was from yesterday.

From yesterday's prep? I saw that in prep yesterday. It was a version of a couple people trying to make this song okay. Because, you know what? It's not all they tried to make it okay. They tried to make it, how it should have been. Well, it's a safe song now. It's a safe song.

That's what they were trying to attempt because, you know, God forbid. Listen to how ridiculous this is. I have to say no, no, no, sir. You reserve the right to say no. Oh my gosh. You reserve the right to say no. I really can't stay. You don't have to.

But it's cold outside. I've got to get home. You know how to get there from here. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. There is not a woman. within the sound of my voice that would ever kiss a man who did that ever you have the right say no I love the white knight stepping in the guy oh you're right I mean it's just so pathetic

she's being she's being all coy I it's so cold outside I should go home well you know the way home let me call you a cab yeah get out get out I should I don't know if I should put on my Let me get it for you. Let me put it on. At some point in a song like that, the woman says, are you cheating on me? Do you have somebody coming? You're trying to kick me out.

Why are you kicking me out? Right. And I love the fact that I want to say no. Will you, of course, have the right to say no? Well, yeah, of course I have the right to say no. Why are you pointing that out? Are you thinking of raping me? That would be my reaction to that.

What do you say? Of course I have the right to say no. I really should go. Why did you feel the need to point that out? That's weird. And compare and contrast that with every rap song that is played on the radio today, or just about every rap song. And the kids today don't have any, these college students don't have any problem with those.

They're all misogynistic, predatorial. There's very little, uh, the B word, hoes. There's no consent there. No. No. Wait a minute. And those are all fine, but baby it's cold outside should be banned. But the rap music they listen to all year long, that's perfectly fine.

Because you say it talks about hoes. Well, so do I. So do you. So do you. So do you. Ho, ho. Ho. Very nice, by the way.

Thank you. Very classy. Just and it looks like, kind of look like a rapper. I mean, uh, more like a candy wrapper, but a rapper. Nonetheless. Thanks, Pat. All right. Pat, wait, wait, wait.

I got to ask you a question. When's the last time you changed your filter, your air filter, your house? 19. Okay. Right. Right. It's not just us Because I don't

Honestly You know we've moved around the country You know we were on the lamb for a while I think I actually sold houses Before I change I don't think I've changed Oh I'm almost positive I've done that Right without changing it Yeah I don't think I've

Oh I would never I would never change it before I sold a house No no no I mean I think I bought the house Live there for a few years And then sold it and never changed the filter Oh I'm almost positive I've done that. That's so bad. That's bad.

I mean, we're our dad's like this. That's why that auto delivery thing for filter buy is so good. Yeah. Because it just comes and you know, okay, now it's time. Yeah. Because I can never remember. No, I can never remember. And I'm not going to Home Depot.

Right. My wife says, go to Home Depot, get a filter. Yeah, the last thing I'm going to do. Yeah, I got, I got it. I got it. I'm not going to do that. I'm certainly not going to do it if my wife doesn't ask me. My wife doesn't ask me.

So, God bless you. We are like, Our house before filter by was like Chernobyl. God only knows what you were breathing in. Now you can have over 600 sizes, all made in America, ships within 24 hours. And what Pat was saying is absolutely true. 5% off when you order for auto replacement. So it just shows up at your house.

You don't even have to think. You just take it. If I can get the mailman to deliver it to the door and then take it upstairs and change the filter and throw the other one out, this is the perfect service. But we're one step away from that. Filter, BUI.com, filter buy.com, say 5%

when you hit auto-subscribe. It is filter buy.com. Hey, there's a few things that you can get for Christmas that make great Christmas gifts. Outrage. Adicted to Outrage. My new book, it's available at the web store, bookstores,

Present. So, Bill, I'm here. The number one story in your mind this week is? Killing the SS, a huge success. Okay, the number two story in your mind. The biggest story in the country is if the President of the United States can psychologically and emotionally survive the daily attacks on him. And you won't hear that anywhere else but here in the no-spin zone. Because, you know, if you step back away from the hysteria and you look at Donald Trump, he's a human being, you might not like him, might think he's not capable of being president, whatever.

But any human being put under the barrage of hatred directed toward him and having to defend himself every hour on the hour from whatever charge, the charge du jour, you've got to take a psychological toll on him. And that is the story, the big story about all of this. Okay. So let's take this apart just a bit. First of all, Michael Cohen. Michael Cohn, A, Donald Trump said, low-level guy. Nobody believes that.

Was he a low-level guy? Let me tell you about Michael Cohn. All right. I've never met the man. At one point in the campaign, I was talking to Trump on the phone and he said, I was trying to get him on the factor that night. And he said, well, I can't do it, but take Michael Cohen, my attorney. And I said, why would I do that?

You know, I'm not going to put him on the air. He's going to tell him, tell me what you want him to say. I mean, I don't know, just put a puppet on there. You know, a real puppet. Okay. And that was the end of that conversation. So Cohen was basically what they call a fixer. And when Trump had an annoyance.

which was what these women were to him, an annoyance, Cohen would deal with it. So I don't know any more than that. I don't know what Trump said to Cohen. No one does. But Cohen's charge working for Donald Trump was to fix things, fix annoyances, and that's what he did. Okay.

The problem has come in now with the National Enquirements, inquirer that the National Inquirer has changed their story and now they're saying, okay, we did take direction from Donald Trump to pay this one person off. That is a, that's a felony. Cohn, do we have the audio of Michael Cohn on Good Morning America today when they asked him, why should we believe you now? Listen. So what do you say to people and, you know, there are a lot of people who would be watching

who are going to be thinking. Wait a second, he lied for so long. Why should we believe him now? What's the answer to that? What do you mean lied? Lied about what? At the Trump organization, it's a microcosm of even just the New York real estate market. What do we lie about?

It's New York real estate. Yes, it's the greatest product ever created. Is that a lie? Well, but you pleaded guilty to lying to Congress. Yes. So why should we believe you now? Because the special counsel stated emphatically that the information that I gave to them was credible and helpful. There's a substantial amount of information that they possess

that corroborates the fact that I am telling the truth. So you're done with the lie. I am done with the lying. I am done being loyal to President Trump. And my first loyalty belongs to my wife, my daughter, my son, and this country. Take that apart for me, Bill. You know, it's, So people who listen to us every Friday, please take that into account. I'm not like any of the commentators on cable news where George Stepanopoulos. I don't take him seriously, all right? Which means that whatever he says means nothing to me. Nothing.

Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second. I think that's where most, not the media, but I think that's where most Americans are. No doubt about it. They just don't. A very astute observation. Yeah. Okay.

So whatever he says means nothing to me as an American. Okay? That's number one. Number two, Robert Mueller had nothing to do with Michael Cohen and what he did or did not do by paying women. He referred that case out to the DA, to the federal attorney, U.S. attorney in Manhattan. Why did Mueller do this for two reasons? Number one, that had nothing to do with Russian collusion. Okay?

So Mueller goes, you know, I can't get involved with this because it doesn't come under my mandate. And number two, Mueller knew that Cones a sleazy weasel. I'm not, you know, I'm sorry, but he is. And he didn't want to be associated with a sleazy weasel. You also knew that the careerists in the attorney's office, U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan, would be more than happy to take this guy apart, which, they did. They got into his taxi care business. They got into his dodging of taxes. And then they came a point where they just said, look, Michael, just tell us what we want to know.

And then we'll try to get you a light deal. And Cohen did. Okay. So that's Cohen. Right. Okay. Hang on just a second. So I agree with that analysis. I think I would add it would be irresponsible of anyone in the justice system if they did find a crime that they didn't pass it on for further investigation to the appropriate people. Maybe, but look, you're giving Mueller too much credit in the sense that nobody would pursue this kind of a thing. This is what they call brand protection. Brand protection.

Trump is a brand, okay? So he's now running for president, and he doesn't want his brand attacked any more than it's already been. So these women try to get money from him. Okay? So he tells to his personal fixer, take care of it. Take care of it. And the fixer does. Right.

And then, of course, the women come back for more money. But it's not a problem with Cone. What it is is a problem with, what is it, American media. the inquirer because look i don't know what would happen in the inquire again and we're none of us are privy to that but this is the way business is done at that level see i'm waiting for the new york times to investigate itself because they've had boo koo private settlements in that newspaper and so is every major corporation in the country i'm waiting for that but the national inquire is basically in business to scandalize people that's what they do

all right so trump has a relationship with the publisher Packer I think his name is right okay so yeah Packer calls him and says hey I got this woman and she wants to talk all about your affair and what should I do and Trump says well you know can you make her go away

and Packer says yeah I can do whatever I do so they give her money and she tells a story and they just, they don't print it. That happens all the time. Right. There's some critical things that you've left out, but we don't know if they're true or not, so I'm not going to nitpick on this.

I want to get back to the, there's no reason to believe the National Enquirer. There's no reason to believe Cohn. But I do believe the National Enquirer in this instance. I think that happened. Okay, but what I'm trying to tell you is there's no, from my point of view, I'm not a lawyer, but I've certainly had many lawyers on Bill O'Reilly.com. Smart. And very few of them see any crime at all.

This is business as usual, protection of a brand, a civil settlement. All right, and now they're trying to link it into the campaign finance, but it's a stretch, as we saw on the John Edwards case. It's a stretch. Right. Now, they can do it. You know, what is it, the indict the ham sandwich line? Okay, they can do it. But do Americans feel that this was some kind of heinous, well-thought-out plot to subvert American election law?

So here's the thing. In the 1970s, the Republicans eventually joined the Democrats and said, you know, we can't have, we can't have this going on in the White House. White House. So we need to make sure that we have somebody telling us the truth. And they didn't come to the table voluntarily, but they were eventually dragged to that table. What we're talking about now? Hang on. Nixon, okay? And impeachment. Then we had Clinton. And so the people that were against Nixon and said, we have to know if the president is telling the truth. And the president has to, he can't perjure himself. He can't lie. All of a sudden, they were fine with Clinton.

Sure, because it's hypocrisy all day long. Correct. You just raised a point that, and this, you're going to be amazed by my brilliance right now. Are you ready? Everybody ready? Okay. In Watergate, there was a crime. Somebody broke in, somebody took stuff, and they found them.

In Clinton, there was a incident involving an intern. inside the White House, no question to happen. Perjury. Here, here, okay, nobody knows what it is. This campaign finance thing, nobody knows what this is. Was there a secret payoff? You know what? Nobody knows.

Right. There's no solid crime evidence. It's theoretical. Right, correct. But if there is overwhelming evidence, as Cohen says, That might mean a blue dress of sorts, but I don't know what the crime is at that point. You have to have a tape recording where Trump would walk into Cohen and say, hey, I want you to violate campaign finance laws and pays the babes off because I want to run for president and win.

Thanks. Let me know how it works out. And then he leaves. All right. So we're going to get to the, we're going to get to the ramifications all of this and some of the other stories of the day with Bill O'Reilly in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor, it is Simply Safe. I remember when I met the inventor of Simpleasef, this is a guy. I think they had maybe, I don't know, they started with like five people in the company. And it started because he was just trying to help his friends who were being robbed when they were all going to college, I think, at MIT or Harvard. And he was an inventor. And so they said, can you help us?

And he said, sure. So he developed an alarm system that people could use in apartments. And he just did it for them. And he just put it together. And it kind of caught on. And everybody's like, hey, can I get one? of those. And so it caught on and they went, we have a business. They came to us really early. And we've been talking about SimplySafe. Now they, they secure, I don't know, more than 2 million homes and businesses all across the country. Yeah, it's one of those products that is constantly a nightmare. You're sick of dealing with all the people drilling holes in your walls and the contracts and they just took all of that out of there. Yeah, none of it, none of it. SimplySafe. You own the system. It is top notch. It's state of the art. It makes everything else look like child's play. Um, it's really affordable, especially now you can get a special holiday discount.

And the, uh, the monitoring is only $14.99 a month. That's it. That's it. This is why they've gone from five people to God only knows how many people building simply safe, because it will keep your family safe. It is simple. It is easy to use. There's no strings, no wires and no contracts.

Simply safe beck.com. Go there now, simplysafebeck.com. We break for 10 second station ID. Mr. Bill O'Reilly. I'm back. Let's take a look at, you want to talk about the person of the year? That's your article. The person of the year.

The Time magazine, which is on the ropes and really not a factor in this country anymore, which is stunning when you understand a history of that magazine. They select journalists at risk for their persons of the year, okay? But if you really deeply look into what they were doing, they were basically trying to humiliate Trump for saying fake news all over the place. Yes, they put Keshoggi up, and they put the five Maryland journalists who were slaughtered by a psycho up, and that's good. I have no beef with that.

But the overall arch of the article was Trump is a villain, we hate him, and the usual. Okay. So the no spin person of the year is a person who helped this country. All right. So everybody should know my criteria. And that is Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina. Now, the reason I selected Senator Graham was twofold. Number one, he single-handedly saved Brett Kavanaugh and his family from destruction.

And they should not have been destroyed. So just on that basis alone, he saved four human beings from destruction. And then he saved every single American citizen from losing a fundamental right, and that is, you are innocent until proven guilty due process. Now, what Senator Graham did involve courage, articulation, and risk. and that's why he is the no-spin person of the year. I can't even believe that I actually agree with that. It's like Lindsay Graham.

Of all people, I never would have thought I said anything positive about him. I'm not a huge fan, but what he did in it? You agree, Stu, right? Because the overwhelming logic of my argument is impossible to refuse. So you're taking credit for Lindsay Graham's achievements. That's what I would expect. I'm taking credit. Here's what I'm taking credit for.

You ready? Yes. The one moment this year of lucidity in your life is compliment of me. I will say, though, I have not always had faith in Lindsey Graham, and the fact that he was the one who was brave enough to stand up and say, hey, yeah, we don't convict people without any evidence. That's not what the society is supposed to be about. He deserves a lot of credit for that. He deserves to be the no-spin man of the year, and he is, but you'll never see that anywhere else because, this is a country that now does not value honesty and courage.

And here is not value it. He is a, this is a good example of, of outrage used the correct way. He was outraged about something real. He was outraged about something that mattered. It was genuine outrage. People were feeling exactly the same way. he handled himself entirely appropriately at the time. He stated it eloquently, and then he was done.

Not all people. He was viciously attacked for doing that. By both the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and the media. So that required courage. I wrote a long column, not long, but I wrote a column on this for Bill O'Reilly.com, which posted now. And basically I made the point is that, you know, there aren't, many courageous people anymore in the public eye.

They're just not. And when you see one sticking up for you, because Lindsey Graham wasn't sticking up for his party, he wasn't sticking up for himself, he was sticking up for every single American who could be accused of anything at any time and saying we cannot convict on allegations as these senators are doing in front of the,

nation. I mean, that took guts. And it wasn't a self-motivated statement. It was a statement to help all Americans understand their rights, and that their rights are under siege from the far left. I think that's why it was effective, because if it had seemed prepared, or contrived, or contrived, you know, if it was like, I, arrest me, I'm Spartan. I'm Spartan. I'm Spartacus arrest me. It would have gone nowhere. Sincere. Yeah, it was sincere.

You know, in the process, because there's always unintended consequences of everything you do and say when you're in public God, he destroyed the candidacies of Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren. They're done. Okay. They cannot get any traction because of Lindsay Graham, because people are going to say, you know, I don't want that. Yeah.

I don't want that progressive far-left culture having power over me. All right. Bill O'Reilly, we continue with him in just a moment. Stand by. You're listening. Let me tell you about blinds.com.

Welcome to the program, the Glenn Beck Program with Mr. Bill O'Reilly, who's written a great Christmas gift, killing the I can't recommend it any higher. Really good book. As you know, I read a lot and I read a lot of history. This is really, really top-notch. I don't like a lot of other books from Bill,

but this one is really good. And, Beck, you know, you should share the gift I gave to you, which was a signed copy of killing the SS. I never got it. Yes, you did. We sent you two of them. I mean, my God. But if you...

I really never got it. You would like the same gift. You have to Sunday to go to Bill O'Reilly.com and order it, and I'll sign it for you. Nice inscription. And also you can give premium memberships to Bill O'Reilly.com as stocking stuffers. But I really appreciate you reading the book, and Beck did actually read it. Nobody read it to him as usually is what happened. People follow him around reading him stuff.

But no, he actually sat down and read it. Bill, let me ask you about the farm bill and that nightmare. Are you into it at all? I don't think I've ever been to a farm. You want me to talk about the farm bill? Yeah. Have you read it or have you looked into it at all? Yeah.

No, it's over there in my stack of stuff. Okay. All right. You should look into it. No, no, no. You should look into this because it is, it's like, it's like FDR and Carl Marx got together in a seance and said. Give me, give me 30 seconds on what it says and then I'll. Well, let me give you this one.

Let me give you this one. In the farm bill, you can. You cannot, they've made it so Congress cannot stop the war in Yemen. Overrides the War Powers Act, essentially. It's an add-on. There's an add-on to the farm bill. Yes. That's the same thing they did of Kate's law in a serious mode.

We had Kate's law. You may remember I designed it on the Fox News Channel, and it was a mandatory federal prison term for any foreign national convicted of a felony deported who came back. So stand alone, it would have been embarrassing for any politicians vote against that. So they tacked it on to 15 other things, and it didn't get passed. So this is, I hate this. I hate this horribly. But this is what the politicians in Washington do.

Do you like the farm bill? No, I don't like the farm bill for, I'm going to do a show on it next week for a million different reasons. But I want to stay focused on the Yemen thing for a second. because you might be able to figure this one out and show me where I'm wrong if I am. So Mike Lee, Bernie Sanders, they've been after this add-on war in Yemen since Obama started it. And it's absolutely illegal. Most people don't know about it.

And we're just in a war with Saudi Arabia. Okay. Well, we're helping Saudi Arabia, correct? In the war, yes. We're on their side. Yes, we're on their side. But we are at war in Yemen with Saudi Arabia. And if you want that, that's fine. And you can make a case because of Iran, et cetera, et cetera. So here's what I'm trying to figure out here. The Khashoggi thing happens and everybody is upset about it. And the Senate needs to take a tough stand against Saudi Arabia. So they vote and they say, nope, we're going to. going to stop this war in Saudi Arabia. Then at the last minute, this is added to the farm bill that it's blocking it. So corrupt. But people should understand that Saudi Arabia has been a good ally to the United States,

and that's why Trump hasn't threatened them or sanctioned them or whatever. So Yemen, this backwater south of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf, is a place where al-Qaeda and ISIS and Iran, all right, plot and carry out death things. That's what happens in Yemen. There's no central authority, no central government. It's like Somalia. It's like the mountains of Pakistan. The terrorists are there.

They do what they want to do. So the kingdom of Saudi Arabia wants to control Yemen and get these people out of there because they're a dangerous Saudi Arabia. Correct. Okay. So that's what's going on. So the United States helps Saudi Arabia. Arabia by arming them, by allowing them to use drone intelligence, and by inserting special

forces actually into Yemen under the banner of the war on terror. So there are U.S. troops there, and they carry out raids. That's what we do. Now, that benefits us. I'm not, I'm not disagreeing with that theory. I just want to know what we're talking about. Yeah, I would just like to hear the arguments and have it done constitutionally. And the reason why I ask this, you'd like transparency. Yes. And one of the reasons, one of the reasons why is they, Congress is trying to have their cake and eat it to. You can't.

Cake there in Yemen? Yes. You can't. You can't eat your cake and then also have your cake. It's one of the other. And they are trying to do this with Saudi Arabia. And so is the press. Saudi Arabia, we all know, is bad.

This Kashogi thing. What is the... There's no doubt. The only reason why the press is making this into such a big deal is, you said it earlier, to hurt Donald Trump. That's right. If they actually cared about journalists in Saudi Arabia, they would be using this moment to call for the freedom of Raif Baudwadi. This guy is in prison in Saudi Arabia. He started the free Saudi liberal movement.

So he's saying this is a bad thing. They have a thousand lashes and seven-year prison sentence. His family is in Canada. They've been saying, please help us release this guy. Nobody in the media cares about it. This is a journal, journalist. Nobody cares. People have to know the big picture.

The United States is business with Putin. We do business with China. We do business with heinous regimes all over the planet. And we do that because the American economy is an enormous engine. And we have to support 330 million people here. And we need cooperation from bad government. That's what this is. Now, you have to draw lines.

I would have sanctioned Saudi Arabia a little bit harder than Trump did. But, look, if you're going to point out journalistic hypocrisy, it's all day long. I mean, it's crazy. Let me ask you about the China and Canada thing. You know, we asked. That's good for the farm, Bill, Beck, no more on that? No more on that. That was so much fun and so exciting.

The look into it, Bill, you'll blow your mind. All right. The China executive that we asked to be extradited, they have responded now and taken two Canadian business people and they've been disappeared in China. Trump is playing a different game with China. It's not necessarily just about a trade imbalance. This is about them taking our technology and stealing from our American companies. Is it not? Yeah.

they hacked into the Marriott database, the Chinese, according to New York Times. Well, you know, you got to, I don't know if that's true, but I think it probably is. The Chinese are now waging cyber warfare against the whole world, and the Chinese are just wagering around, and we're going to do what we want to do. And Trump is trying to counter that, which is a good thing. I think Trump's going to get his trade deal with China. I think that he's going to break them down. If you look at the Chinese economy numbers today, they're terrible.

A billion and a half people in China, and more than half of them don't have any electricity. So that place is a tinderbox and can go up. And the Chinese government in Beijing knows that. And if their economy starts to contract, they're in big trouble. So Trump, I think, is doing the right thing. And, you know, it's directed by the Defense Department, Mattis, who's very savvy. And I don't have any beef with that. But I think that people up to understand this is a wicked world we live in.

And you've got to deal with some wicked people sometimes. Let me switch topics one last time. Who do you think is going to be the chief of staff and what's going on there at the White House? Taylor Swift. That's my pick. I want Taylor Swift to be the chief of staff. Might be good. Yeah, we're reaching out to the other side.

And whoever the chief of staff is, they're not going to have any power or be able to do anything. so why not put Taylor Swift in there? I mean, I would. So is this spin, or is he really having a hard time getting somebody to be the chief of staff? Of course he is. Would you want that job? No, I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't.

No, I wouldn't. You want to be cheapest to have the Donald Trump, and every morning you don't know who's coming down the stairs? No. I mean, some mornings he's okay, and, you know, the other morning, he's not so okay. But the fact is, and this is a fact, that Donald Trump does what he wants. he does what he wants I mean it doesn't matter who's the chief of staff but who's sitting there who's telling him

what to do or suggesting whatever he doesn't do what he wants so Kushner would probably be the best I hope he doesn't pick Jared Kushner and I don't think that would be good for the country I don't think it would be good for the country but that would be the most reasonable pick for Donald Trump because

yeah because he doesn't trust anybody and he doesn't think Kushner would turn on him correct so yes you're absolutely right there he wants somebody that's not going to you know be leaking stuff all over the place and make them look bad. But I think there are other people around in Washington savvy players.

What do you think about Chris? He certainly needs... Chris Christie. Somebody who really has a lot of experience with that swamp. Chris Christie? No, way too volatile. No, no, no, no, no. It'd be kind of fun.

And, you know, just the food deliveries to the White House. Okay. All right, all right, all right, all right. All right, who's pizza? Who's got the pepperoni pizza? You know the answer the question at least. There it is the New York Times bestselling author, Bill O'Reilly, the author of the book, Killing the SS, makes a great Christmas gift.

Also, you can subscribe to his one show on Bill O'Reilly.com. For the same price, you can get like 40 shows at the blaze. Yeah, but you got, you know, Perspicacity is in play here. Word of the day. You bet. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. We'll talk to you next week. Thanks, Bill.

All right, guys. Do you know anybody else who has a relationship with Bill O'Reilly like that? No. It just hammers him. Everybody else just reveres and like a lim-loon. You guys both go at each other, which is fun. I know. I love it.

I love it. Casper Mattress. Casper Mattress is inviting you to have a good 2019 in sleep. if you toss and turn, if you can't get comfortable, have you tried a new mattress? Now, here's the problem. And this happens almost every time. I would go to a mattress store and I'll lay down on a mattress and I feel awkward and weird and I'm in my clothes and I say to my wife, I don't know. The son feels fine.

And then the guy says, well, try this one. I don't know. This one feels fine too. I don't usually sleep in my shoes, in my clothes in a store. So I can't tell. That's why Casper asks you to try it for 100 nights in your own home. And they make it super simple. They ship it to you in the small little box that you can just pick up yourself,

the front door, carry it into the bedroom. Once you open that box, though, it's a full-sized mattress. So be careful. So you should open it downstairs and then lug it up after? Open it up in the car on your way home from the UPS store. Go to casper.com, casper.com. use the promo code back. You're going to save about 50 bucks on your select mattresses.

Try it out for 100 nights. If you don't love it, they'll come and pick it up. Okay? And they refund every single dime. So sleep on it. Get a good night's sleep. Get the right mattress. Terms and conditions do apply.

It's casper.com. Stu, have you watched The Marvelous Miss Maisel? No. I did see a preview for it. And then decided to... Could you please turn the Christmas sweater lights off? I can't. I mean, it's distracting.

Why would I do such a thing? Yeah. It's an ugly Christmas sweater day, and I'm having Stu take care of both of us, quite honestly. It's my Eagles light up sweater. It does play music as well, but... No, thank you. I can get that set up if you'd like it. Yeah, no, no, no, thank you.

That's good. I think it's very appropriate. I think I get set up. It'll just be a moment. I think it's very appropriate that the stadium is empty in that. Eagles show up when they lose. Eagles fans show up even when they lose. Yeah, but they're usually not playing, you know, very far into the winter.

So anyway, good portion of the season happens in the winter, smart guy. So let me tell you something else. So Marvelous Miss Maisel. Yes. Marvelous Miss Maisel, I think, is the best written comedy on television today. Really? Yeah. I saw the preview.

It looks like it's an old-timey. What's the premise? Yeah, she is a housewife in the 1950s. They live in New York. Her and her husband get a divorce. He wanted to be a comedian, but he's horrible. She was really the genius behind it. She's a natural.

When he breaks up because he's cheating on her with his secretary, she goes down to the comedy club, and she just rants. And she's hysterical. She becomes friends with Lenny Bruce. And it's got a lot of real historic pieces to it. And it's her trying to make her way in comedy. And Tony, is it Chalube? Shalub.

Yeah. Shalub. He, this is the best he's ever been. He is brilliant in this. The cast of characters, all of them, brilliant. And it's as if, it's as if Sorkin, who wrote the West Wing, had written this. You know how he does double the page? of dialogue.

Aaron Sorkin, yeah. Yeah. This is, I think, at least this season, double the pace. It's got to be double the pace. I mean, it is just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It is really funny. Well done. Really well done.

All right. And I'll give it a shot. I will say the preview did not have me jumping into it on Netflix. I saw they, they, I will tell you, Tanya watched, I think the first one. It was like, eh. And I said, by the third one, I think, hooked. And it is, it's just, I just think it's brilliant. I just think it's absolutely brilliant in every way. Best comedy on television anywhere. We should spend some time on what is a big development in the movie

industry, I think, this weekend, which is the release of a PG-13 version of Deadpool 2. Saw it last night with Rhaef. You did. Yes. He's wanted to see his Deadpool, not going to let him see Deadpool, it's rated R. It's brilliant. We have to talk. We have to talk about it. What they did, they mirrored and

parodied a princess bride. And it's really, really good. We've been asking for this stuff forever from movie companies. Release some of these movies in ways that families can see them or at least teenagers can see them. Yeah, teenagers can see

this. It's still a little rough, still edgy, but very, very funny. Well done. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. It is a good thing that we keep record

of all of our shows. That we have archives. That's true. It's a big one. When you say something and later on we need to kind of check on its accuracy, it's always good to make sure we have the archives. Ten years ago, ten years ago, I said something and it is come true.

And it's pretty stunning. One of the most surprising examples. Yeah. And we will give that to you next. This is the Glenn Beck program. Never more than 30 seconds away from content. The first half hour of every hour of the Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you quickly about our sponsor.

It is Say Anything. Say Anything is a game that just might help you start talking to your family again. I'm entering prime time with Say Anything. I feel like. My kids are just getting into that age. My son's seven? Oh, yeah, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. This game can be played, you know, at any level in any age and it's really fun.

But especially when your kids, I think we started playing it when Cheyenne and Raph were probably about seven or eight. And it's a way to get the family talking and laughing, you know, there's nothing controversial. There's, you know, they're not, no, there's nothing. It's just real life, okay? And you actually learn how your kids think. and it's fascinating. Try playing it and then try not saying at the table. Honey, are you seeing this?

I mean, I have no idea. It's amazing. Say anything. It's a great game. Lots of fun. Lots of laughs. You can find it now at Target. Bring your family together and have a good old-fashioned family game night.

During the holidays, it's say anything. Find it now at Target. You'll find it in the toy section. It is say anything. Ten years ago. Ten years ago on the... this program, I made a mocking prediction and said, you know, I'll tell you what the left should be upset about. It's a song. And I laid out the case 10 years ago. And while I've taken it a couple of

step further than they aren't currently, remember, this was comedy. This was insane 10 years ago. Listen. But baby, it's cold outside. But maybe it's cold outside. See, maybe this is just the... Ben Hooper that you drop in. Maybe this is just the negative side of me, but...

I'm blinding this. You know, I use it. Stop this song for a second. You know, maybe it's just me, but I... I mean, this has always seemed like, oh, this kind of cute. But then I heard it done by Dean Martin, and Dean Martin, you know, you couldn't trust. I mean, he was a friend of Frank Sinatra. You know what I'm saying?

Unions. So then I hear it from Dean Martin. And I think there's something here. There's something much deeper than this. In fact, go back to the beginning. I just want you to listen to the words. You know, it seems like, oh, it's like, oh, it's like, oh, it's all like a rank. and bass Christmas cartoon.

But baby it's cold outside. But baby it's cold outside. Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop. First, he says, I really can't stay. And he says, but baby, it's cold outside. All right, so, if I may. In other words, what he's saying is, guess what, skank?

Put out, I'm going to leave you stranded in sub-zero temperatures. You know what I mean? It's cold outside. Now, you might think that's a little dramatic. You know, right now. But may I lay the rest of the song out to provide some context? Go ahead. Been hoping at you dropping.

Now, here's she saying, I really can't stay. She's trying to politely get out of there. I got to go away. You know, that's what she says. I got to go away. When was the last time you said, I got to go away? To somebody who is, hey, no, you just stay with me. I got to go away.

You don't say I got to. go away and she says the evening's and vins so very very nice she's trying to act like nothing's wrong and excuse yourself

right i i got to go away the evenings been very very nice and then what is he tell her he's going to do listen to this no minute you drop you

i'll hold your hands that just like i stop just a stop just a Holding your hand, that's a sign of affection, right? Holding your hands, that's restraint. That's a form of imprisonment. Then she says,

Is there just like ice? Beautiful, what's your heart? Listen to the... Stop, stop, stop, stop. She says, my mother will start to worry, and my father will be pacing the floor, which is exactly the thing that a hostage says. If my contact doesn't hear from me, they're going to come looking.

And then what is he say in response? Listen to this. Listen to the fireplace roll. Stop. See what I'm saying? You didn't catch it? Let me tell you something. You're never going to work for the FBI unless you follow along.

You've got a hostage situation. He's holding her hands. She's saying, there's somebody's going to come for me. They know where I am. And then he says, listen to the fireplace roar. In other words, I'll burn you alive if you don't stay and put out. That's what I'm hearing here.

Oh, how did we miss this our whole life? Then she decides it's escalating too fast. Listen to what she says. To the fireplace roar. Beautiful, please don't hurry. Put some records on while I pour. Stop, stop, stop, stop. So she decides it's escalating out of control.

Well, well, okay, me, maybe just one more drink. This one more drink. And then he distracts her. He says, you put on some records. First of all, who plays records anymore? Serial killers. She, she says, oh, okay, maybe half a drink more. Maybe just half a drink.

And he says, yeah, put on some of those records while I pour. So now he's set up to pour the drink while her attention is elsewhere. What does he do? He drugs the drinks. Hello? As evidenced by what she says next. Put some records on while I pour. Baby, it's bad out there.

No caps to be had. Stop, stop. There it is, Your Honor. Say, what's in this drink? Then she says, But no caps to be had up there. Your eyes are like... I wish I knew how.

To break this spell. I wish I... Say, what's in this drink? I wish I knew how to break this spell. In other words, I think I've just ingested a date rape drug. Oh, I'd like to stop the effects now. He's going to burn me to death.

Oh, dead. In the middle of it, he says, I'll take your hat, your hair looks well. Okay, all right, all right. He says, your eyes are like starlight now, clearly the effects of GHB kicking in now. And then he says, I'm going to take your hat. Yes, at her most vulnerable moment, he begins to take her clothes off.

Then she says, mind if I'm moving She says I ought to say no no no but she can't Why? Because she's basically paralyzed now laying next to the fire Where she's terrified he's gonna burn her to death And he mockingly says

Mind if I move in close No this is a horror movie Knowing she can't resist She takes solace in the fact that she at least Has tried to stop his advances And then he says, Take your hat, your hair looks swell. No, I know, but I can't, I try.

At least it's going to say that I try. Baby, it's cold outside. Okay, look, I mean, the song, stop it. It's, we should never play this again. It is, it's the nightmare before Christmas. You know, it just goes on and on and on, you know, Oh, I simply must go. The clear answer is no.

Yet he keeps coming and coming and coming. You know what this is? This is the story of the guy that Dogged the Bounty Hunter arrested in Mexico. Oh, the welcome has been so nice and warm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That warmth is, you know, the warmth that GHB induces. You see what I'm saying? Your lips look delicious.

Oh, I bet they do, Hannibal the cannibal. I get it. put out or you're going to find yourself in an icy grave. Merry Christmas. Is that too? That's amazing. Is it just me? That is 10 years ago.

It was, I think, just me 10 years ago. It was. And now it's not. And that was something that was something that was a comedic observation 10 years ago. Yeah. It was, I mean, you never think we'd get to that ridiculous point. Now, this is why there is no common. anymore because the things that are funny you have to take it to the extreme how do you take

America to the extreme now it's already it lives at the extreme you're never more than 30 or 60 seconds away from content on this program we are so glad that you're here let me talk a little bit about the ex chair stew i should make him stand quite honestly at least i'd feel i was getting something, you know, for the money that I pay him, at least standing? Good luck on that one. It's been a long time you've been paying me. You're never going to turn that equation correctly. I never going to turn it around, am I? No. No. Anyway, so we just got new chairs for the studio. It's the X chair. And, you know, the average person spends more time in their office chair than they do in bed.

So how long do I have to look at your ugly sweater? It lights up. It does light up. What you don't know is during the breaks, Stu just makes it worse by pushing a little button on his sweater. Yeah, because the sweater doesn't just light up, which is always a good part of a sweater. No, you want it to make loud noises.

and his sweater does. Yeah, it plays music too. Yeah, so you just... I go with. Oh, you have to... I mean, you know, why would you not go with the Eagles theme song every single break to annoy Glenn?

Mm-hmm. I mean, on the day... You know what that really sounds like? What does it sound like? It sounds a little like... Like this. Hang on just a second. It's not on my sweater,

so it doesn't come up right away. The Soviet National Anthem? Yeah, you push the button on my sweater. I would believe that from you. I mean, the fly eagle kind of sounds like the old Soviet national anthem. I don't know. I mean, it's an eagle. It's a national symbol. Uh-huh. You know, the lyrics also in that

Soviet national anthem also had, we're the land of liberty and we're a free people. There you go. So there you go. Last night, I took, I took Rhaf out to a movie because I promised him. He's, he's, He's wanted to see Deadpool. Deadpool. And I have not seen it. I know it's rated R. It's very rated R too.

Yeah, and it's very rated R. It's really over the top. So I haven't seen it. He obviously hasn't seen it, but he's wanted to see it, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I said there's a new cut of this. Now, this is something that conservatives have been asking for forever. Can you cut the rated R? can you give it a cut for us prudes?

Well, they've done it. They've done it. This is the first time. And it's, I think, brilliant. First of all, they double dip. You have the rated R audience that goes too far. And then you have the PG-13 that still goes really, really far. But you have that standard now.

And you have that choice. This is what we've been asking the movie companies, to do forever. Why can't we have, what is it, the angel thing, Vid Angel. Right, yeah.

Why can't we have that? Well, because it's an art thing. You're losing money. Right, which is not usually where Hollywood goes. Now, sure, there's indie films that maybe they can make the art argument on, but Deadpool,

they're trying to make a lot of cash. And it was, the first one was really funny. The second one was funny, too. So I don't know. I haven't seen either of them. and you might go see this and say, oh, they butchered the movie. I think it was really, really funny.

And especially the way they did it. They didn't just go and edit this movie. They filmed about 30 minutes extra. Because that was my question with this whole process. I saw Deadpool to the rated R version when it first came out. And if you just edited it to make it PG-13, it would be like four minutes long. Like there's not. I think you will really, I think you will really like it.

They really made it into a new product, though. It is not the same movie. It starts out. It's so great. And I thought this was just for the trailer. I thought they were just going to cut this movie and, you know, make it shorter and, you know, take some of the stuff out. But they didn't. It starts exactly like the opening scene of Princess Bride when the grandpa is sitting there in the chair.

Okay. So you don't have the mom in there, et cetera. but when grandpa is there and he's like, hey, I brought something, I brought a book. That's Deadpool playing the grandpa. The room looks exactly the same. And Fred Savage is in it. But he's wearing a wedding ring and he's an adult. And he wakes up as if from a drug-induced state and he's like, where am I?

What is happening? And he's like, hey, fella, I've got a little book for you. I'm going to read. He's like, what the is? Where is this the set from? Is this the movie set from? Yeah, it is. And so they recreate except he's hostage.

And this is all in the trailer, by the way. These are not. Yeah, I'm not giving away anything. But it is, it goes throughout the movie. It keeps going back just like the Princess Bride, which I thought was brilliant, really, really brilliant and very, very funny. at one point, I'm not going to give it away. But the Deadpool character with Fred Savage uses, he's got a little boop, where he can bleep words because it's a PG-13.

And Fred uses a different F word that is not bad. And that's worth the price of admission alone, the way it's used against him in that scene. Very funny, very, very funny. That whole, you know, the whole premise of that is it's very aware of itself being a movie. The whole, you know, the whole movie's about that. Yeah. Lazy writing.

Yeah. That's good. I feel like that's a really, that's something we should, even if you don't like Deadpool and you don't care about Deadpool, is something we should be praising Hollywood for a little bit because that's something we have to manage it for a long time. You know, make it so other, you know, so people can see it. You don't have to have every F bomb in the movie. You don't have to have every sex scene in the movie. We still want to see these movies. And there have been some services.

I know Vid Angel was one of them. There's another clean flicks, pure flicks, one of those? Yeah, pure flicks. I can't remember which one of this. But there's a service. I know Pat Gray from Pat Gray unleashed uses it on Netflix. And you can watch any movie and it will like edit it. So you can take out whatever you want.

You can take out swears. You can take out sex scenes. I don't know if Jeffrey would be here. He would say he wanted to add in more sex scenes. I don't think it does that. But other than that, it's pretty. It's pretty handy. But I mean, the idea that they would go through

and instead of just a strict edit actually make something new out of the movie to please audiences that maybe don't want to see all the R-rated stuff, that's a great outcome. I thought it was brilliant. I thought it was brilliant. Because the kids want to see that movie, you know? And it's the only one they can't see.

And it only makes them want to see it more. Of all the Marvel movies, right? This is the only one that's really. Yeah. And it just based on the PG-13, I could imagine what the R was like, that's got to be a hard arm. Oh, yes.

Because it's very, yeah. It pushes the boundaries quite a bit. But that's sort of a joke, right? Like it's very violent. It's, you know, there's lots of references. There's lots of swearing. It definitely goes, I mean, that's the whole point of it, right?

I think the charm of that character, outside of his cynicism and sort of sarcastic nature, is the idea that you're combining this, like, thing that you normally see in a kid's movie with everything you would never see in a kids' movie. with everything you would never see in the kids movie. So let's just say this. You should be aware that had my wife attended this PG-13 movie,

and it wasn't the two boys in the theater, we may not have made it to the end. They push this G-G-13 as far as they can push it. But I would imagine it's very clean compared to the... the actual version. And even if you saw the original, see this one. What they did with Fred Savage is really brilliant. You're listening to Glenn.

Okay, you need to protect your house. You need to protect your family. And especially when you're gone. I mean, burglars don't want to see you. They really don't.

Something's off with Andrew Heaton. And when you get to know him, there really is something off with Andrew Heaton. Thank you for having me back. Good to be here. So I wanted to start with this, Andrew. I don't know if you've been following the Russian spy thing that was libertarian, I guess. Marina Boutina. Yeah. Well, she was, I think she'd been to Freedom Fest a couple of times. And Freedom Fest is a big libertarian gathering in the desert.

that happens every year. And I think she'd been there. And I've, I actually, I did warm up for William Shatner there a couple of years ago, which is the highlight of my comedic career, by the way, is doing jokes for William Shatner. And then sneaking up behind him and going, can I get a picture? And him going, you're very funny. And I was like, great. It doesn't matter if anyone thinks I'm fine.

I don't think I met her. And I was kind of worried because I have kind of a thing for Redheads. And this is pretty well documented. And so, I mean, like, the police? Yeah, there's, I'm sure that there's all sorts of organizations keeping tabs on. And so what I saw that, I was like, wait a minute. And I dated a young lady who's from a different country who's read it. So when I first saw that headline of like spy, I was like, oh, wow.

No, it's not her. I didn't date Marina Boutin. But I do, I'm going to take the contrarian approach on this and say like, thank you, Russia for having the decency and the gentlemanliness of sending us hot spies. That is some old school gentleman tactics that has fallen out of use in international diplomacy. There's one country I'm thinking of. I'm not going to mention which one it is, but from what I can tell, all they're doing is hacking us from a basement somewhere in China. And I appreciate the fact that the Russians will at least send over hot women to seduce our guys. Wasn't that part of the Cold War era?

Yeah. It was the best part of the Cold War era. We got good Twilight Zone episodes, and we got these hot spies to come over. Exactly right. Yeah, it was like the constant fear of nuclear death was alleviated somewhat by the fact that, you know, you might end up having a fling with a Russian agent. That was cool. and they're keeping that alive. Thank you. Thank you, Russia.

Like, that tells me they respect us. Right. I think, too, the change from the Soviet Union to Russia and just whatever bit of capitalism entered their world in that transition really made their women hotter. Like, that's their biggest export at this point, are just really attractive women. That was not the case.

You go back and look at some of those, like, you know, Olympic teams from the 70s and 80s. They were not the case. Yeah, you got Anna Kornikova and Maria Sharapult. And there's a constant flow. Maybe they were just hot but sad and starving. I don't like it. I'd have to go back and look. It's possible that you look and you're like, oh, I can't.

I'm not remotely aroused because of the misery of that place. Yeah. And that's probably good. I just remember them being big and frightening. You know, like, that's not a woman, is it? I mean, you know, right now you're like with transgenderism and, you know, you kind of. But this was, they weren't trying not to be women. They were women.

They just looked like big men. What do the men look like? They were all like the hurly, burly, like barrel chested like, uh. Drunks. Okay. So it's just, it's a nation of weightlifters. Yes. All right.

That's my entire stereotype. Or gymnasts. Or chess players. Right. They're really into chess. Right. Yeah. Right.

Right. So, uh, so you never met her. I don't think it's possible I met her. It wouldn't surprise me. But I'm, I'm confident I didn't date her. Right. I'm like that that's the thing that I had to do a quick mental check on. Because you've dated almost all the libertarian women.

There are eight. And I have dated five. Wow. So the remaining three, it's just if they get divorced, I got to swoop in. We should point out that technically since she was a Russian spy is really only seven. That's true. You're right. There's actually only seven.

And we can infer that one of them is probably a spy and the remaining seven. So yes, it's a pretty slim number. Yeah. It's kind of a sad life you live. Yes. We're all in agreement. Yeah. You know, I'm a snappy dresser with a sad life.

Yeah. So you've been covering. a couple of stories that, you know, I've not been covered by the mainstream media or really anybody else. Thus the name, something's off with Andrew Heaton. Well, you know, there's a few things we endeavor to do. It is a fun podcast. It's a thoughtful podcast.

And so I do, I bring on a lot of people to have discourse. The motto of the show is good and intelligent people can disagree on matters of substance. But before I get into that thoughtful stuff, I try and find headlines that I don't feel are getting sufficient attention in the national media. And this week, I didn't even do multiple headlines. I dedicated like a full block to trying to unravel this story, which I believe is what's going to get me the Pulitzer this next year. Really?

Which is one of my goals for 2019. Wow. Okay. So what was the story that you were? So, and I need to stress, I'm not making any of this up. This is all totally legitimate. Okay. Scientists were concerned that in Hawaii, endangered monk seals kept being found with dead eels

up their nostrils. They were apparently snorting eels. Have you seen this? Yeah, I saw the picture. It's creepy. And they don't seem to mind it. They seem, I don't know, SEAL psychology super well,

but they appear to be kind of blithely unaware. Or the fact that they don't have hands, they know there's nothing they can do about it. So it's like, whatever I got that. They're the Buddhists of the animal world where they're like, you know what? Like, can't do anything about it.

So don't reject it. Just roll with a punch. Yeah. So it started out with this photo that's gone viral where there's this seal monk that looks like it's half asleep with this two inches of eel dangling out of its nostril. And this scientist, it was spotted on, you know, one of these endangered species cams or whatever, whatever the scientists have set up there. And so he sent out this email. And I did some research on this. The email subject line was just eel in nose, question mark.

And it was him emailing the other scientists to see if there was a protocol for removing eels from seal noses. And they had to do it back and forth. And eventually they're like, apparently we don't have this. the handbook. So some guy just went out there and like pulled it out like a like a magic trick, like one of those handkerchiefs the magician has, took out this dead, uh, dead, uh, it was dead. It was it. Yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's, I don't know how long it was alive. By the time they got it, it was dead. Uh, the seal was fine. Uh, the seal was fine. Although this is one of the concerns they have is that if, if this keeps happening and they found like, they've got like

five documented cases of this now, uh, at least four. They said four or five. So I assume one of them might be the same. They're just not sure. Um, but their, their fear is that if this keeps happening, that the monk seals will either get pneumonia or there just might be general health complications from having a rotting eel carcass in your nostril, which I think is a fair assumption. And so I'm... So are the eels crawling in

against the will of the seal? That is a great question, or are they, are the eels going, somehow or another, come see what's inside the cavern of my face? Okay, great question. And this is what has been racking the scientific community, these few months since this started happening. We're putting cures for cancer on the back burner,

and we're all trying to figure out... Oh, it's important. I mean, I'm a doctor, so I understand the importance. And I'm a deputy scientist. I own a lab coat. That's how that works under U.S. law. And no, so there's kind of three prevailing theories, and I've got my own fourth theory. The first theory is that the monks' hills,

when they're hunting, and they eat eels, among them, they eat eels, urchins, and octopi. The theory is that they will find a hole underwater and just kind of shove their head into it and start grounding around. and there'll be an eel inside, and the only orifice with which it could escape is the seal nostril from the perspective of the eel.

So it just shoots up there trying to escape and that doesn't work. That's one theory, right? That's a pretty good theory. And that's pretty smart. I feel like that's a good idea from the eel. It's actually pretty smart. It's, you know what, like, I mean, shoot the moon. If you could make it through that whole gastrointestinal track,

you would be the greatest eel of all time if you could work your way through there. But so far, well, you know what? Maybe they have. We're only seeing the dead ones. Right. Maybe the really fast eels get out. I don't think it's super likely because apparently, again, I spent way too much time researching this. Seals have pretty good muscle retention in their nostrils.

Like I think it's almost like a sphincter or something where they can control that hole. So I don't think it's likely something could force it in, which brings us to theory number two, which is that they're vomiting out the eels. So like if you've ever, you know, shoot Mr. Pip out your nose when you're laughing, because you're watching Newhart. Right. Newhart, great show. And you're watching that.

Bob Newhart, you're always so funny. Yeah. And you shoot out that Mr. Pip out your nose. It could be something like that, right? Again, but it's like the whole eel, so I don't think that's like. And the third one, which is kind of the one the scientists seem to be gravitating towards is, and I'm not, again, this is them, not me. Teenagers are dumb, teenagers are dumb, probably males that just snort eels for the hell of it because why not to impress their seal buddies. So it's like the seal.

It's like the seal. It's like drag racing. It's like tide pod. It's a stupid thing they do. It's like the seal adults are like, look at the damn teenagers. our entire society of seals going to be wiped out in the next generation. The elder seals are talking about how the water used to be wetter and how the young seals are narcissistic. They don't have proper seal respect and they don't clap their flippers as well.

My theory, by the way, is I think there's probably cocaine in them. I think that there's cocaine inside the eels. I don't know where cocaine comes from, but it's probably eels. It comes from plants. It does it? Well, maybe. I guess those skills are eaten because that's the only thing I can think of that would compel an animal to suck an eel up or any species to suck. can eel up its nose. That's the only thing I can think of. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Let me switch

topics to Co. Okay. So if you're on the Pulitzer Committee, if you're listening, you're on the Pulitzer Committee, I'm doing Yeoman's work here. It's a big investigation. It's on the level with the Miami Herald with all the stuff they did. The Epstein case. The Epstein case. I mean, there's a few nominees, but you're there. I'd share it with the Miami Herald. So you know, he does have an Emmy. He won an Emmy. I, I was given an Emmy by John Stossel. Right. So John Stossel, great guy that I worked with, or I worked near.

I wasn't on the same team as him at Fox Business, but this is the worst award ever. So he was given to you. He won it. He gave it to you and you weren't even working with him? That's not winning an Emmy. You can't put that on the resume. So John, who, if you don't know John, John's an incredibly smart guy and a very nice guy. Very nice guy.

But also the least sentimental human being I've ever met. Like he just doesn't. It's like he had to like. He is like what a. AI is going to be. Yeah. He looks up like, human emotions on Wikipedia that like reads about them. Yes.

And so for a while what he would do is he, he would have these, he has like, I think eight national Emmys, which are big deal. And he has like 400 local Emmys, which are important, but not as big of a deal.

So when he would go to college campuses, whoever asked the best question, he would just give them a local Emmy. So when I left Fox, I went like, John, if you're just passing out Emmys, I'd take one.

And he's like, why should I give it to you? And I was like, well, because, you know, I do political satire. And then just walked over and handed me a national Emmy.

It was like, here you go. So I thought this is really. And the way he told this to me, he was like, hey, you know, John really thought this was a funny thing that we did and everything else. So I'm on a plane with John just a few weeks ago. And we're flying to, I don't remember, Bermuda. And so he hops on the plane and I said, John, no friend of yours. And he goes off and he talks and says all great stuff about Andrew Heaton and how. much he loves him and everything else. And I said, Andrew told me that you gave him a national

Emmy. And he's like, oh yeah. Yeah. You want one? I mean, he's giving them out way like they're candy. Yeah. Yeah. No citadel of there. John was probably just tired of dusting. Yeah. Besides, that was an easy way to get rid of it. It's incredible. Andrew, uh, Andrew Heaton. Something's off with Andrew Heaton is the podcast. Subscribe to it. You're going to love it. It's a lot of fun. Andrew, thank you so much. Thank you. So when you look in the mirror, do you like what you see, Glenn? Do you want to answer that question? I don't think I need to.

So a friend of mine found this post. And, you know, we've been talking about things you could do for the holidays to cheer people up. And this one's not going to cost you a dime. It's going to cost you about 40 seconds. I'm going to read this to you. From Randy Moa of Bellingham, Washington on his Facebook page, he said, I'm raising my 12-year-old grandson, Joe. He's been with me for six and a half years. My wife, Pauline, just passed away over a year ago.

and so mostly Joe and I are doing fine, but it gets a little dismal around here sometimes. Some of Joe's comments recently have been, Grandpa, I'm getting tired of just being you and me. Maybe we could get another kid. Grandpa, I don't think people like us very much. Nobody's coming around. His way to reach out is his YouTube channel.

He has over 50 videos posted, currently 51 subscribers. His biggest thrill and affirmation is getting a new subscriber. Could you please go to his channel and use the quotation marks, quotation mark Joe Moa M-O-A and quotation marks and watch a video or two, like them and subscribe. Please, doesn't cost anything just a little time. Joe will be so happy. Also, feel free to share this post with your friends, blah, blah, blah. So it is quotation mark Joe Moa, M-O-A, end quotation marks.

Kids, I've watched a couple of the videos. They're harmless. There's just, I don't even know how old is. I think he said 12. He's a 12-year-old boy. And so he's just doing, you know, 12-year-old boy videos. And they're harmless. And, you know, he's a cute kid all by himself up in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest in Bellingham.

And so you go to YouTube and you search Joe Moa, M-O-A. And his channel comes up. And what should we do is you subscribe to it? Like it? Like it? Yeah, there's a subscription page for YouTube, right? So click subscribe and see how. he's going to come, he has whatever, for 50 subscribers, he's going to come home and see

more than 50, I would guess, with this audience doing it. And he doesn't, I don't know his grandfather. I don't know Joe or anything else. So it's just, let's just quietly do this and not just not tell him. And have your kids and have your kids subscribe. Maybe, I mean, maybe if your boy feels the same, wants a like a pen pal, here it is. I remember I had a pen pal. I grew up just outside of Bellingham.

Washington, and I had a pen pal, and he was in, I think, Troy, New York. And, man, I remember waiting for those letters. And we were a pen pal for, I don't know, half a year or so. And I wish I could remember the kid's name. I'd look him up today. But it was great. I loved it. So anyway, do it.

Go to YouTube, quotation mark, Joe Moa, M-O-A-Quotation. rotation mark, like it and subscribe and give this kid a holiday treat that doesn't cost you anything.
