Yeah, let me tell you about our commercial this time. It's Relief Factor. And I'm telling you, it's a pleasure to do a commercial for them. Because a year ago, I think next week, I started taking Relief Factor. I don't mark that on my calendar at all for anything, except for like my sobriety and now Relief Factor. Because it has taken me out of pain. Not 100%, but I'll tell you. I can live with the pain that I have now.

I couldn't a year ago, but I started taking 100% drug-free relief factor, and it has helped me so much. Please try it for three weeks. Do what I did last year at this time. Try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, stop taking it. 70% find results and order month after month like I do.

Relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. this is the Glymbeck program. Oh my gosh, can you feel the spirit of Christmas? Can you listen? Shh. Do you hear the reindeer hose on the top of the Time Warner building at CNN?

They're like, it's Christmas time. Santa is delivering presents right now. They have the first sentencing of a major player in President Trump's inner circle. Oh my gosh, let's open this gift. This is the gift that's finally going to destroy. That's what's happening all around the media today. Yesterday, Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan. How did he explain himself to the judge?

Well, we start there in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Never a minute more than away from content, great content. Welcome to the program. A quick reminder from LifeLock about the online purchases. holiday season. You have to be really careful about who you're shopping with. Now is the time that people put up these fake sites. Can you imagine it's kind of like how much time have we wasted talking about politics and speculation about politics? Right. That's stuff that didn't even wind up coming true.

Right. No relevance a week later. Right. How is that? I mean, think about what we could create. Imagine if all these criminals would, I don't know, put that used to something creative other then we could do a fake website where we could get people to order fake products, we could get their credit card numbers. Brilliant. It's just nuts. Anyway, don't shop from sites that don't make the SSL encryption. You just look for the URL up at the top, and it should say H-T-TPS, or it should just have

the padlock up there in the address bar. If you don't see that, don't shop there. But you have to be really careful because all of the transatlock. actions you are making. It is the holiday system for a season for cyber criminals as well. You need LifeLock with Norton Security now. And I tell you, now is the time. If you've, I've listened to these commercials for years.

And I remember thinking, ah, it's not going to. Now, absolutely. You need to have this. LifeLock uses proprietary technology to detect and alert you to a wide range of identity that's. Norton protects your devices against the. cyber threat, so it's all of it. Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft,

LifeLock.com. Promocode Beck. Okay. So Michael Cohen, who was anybody clear that, uh, I mean, was anybody shocked that the guy who's like, look, I saw I'm attorney, and I just call people and problems go away. Is anybody shocked that that guy was dirty? I actually was curious to see if there was ever a day he did not commit a crime. Right.

In his life from birth. I am surprised that he, that this is all they found. You know, it was like, I expected to go, what? I don't know how those six bodies got into my trunk of my car. I have no idea. what? I would have completely believed that. Completely believed. If they were digging up his backyard, and I mean this sincerely, if they were digging up his backyard and they found a skull, I would not have been surprised. If they hit the sewage tank before a skull, I would have been stunned.

Exactly right. You know, oh, there was a crack in the basement of one of the Trump towers. It was the basement that had the cage there for storage for Michael Cohen. Underneath the cement, they were like 1,400 people. No. Definitely possible. Okay, so it's actually good news. He's never killed anybody or buried bodies, which is an upgrade in my mind. That we know of.

Now, he's going to go to prison, but it's probably going to be one of those, you know, college campus prisons. How do you get into those? I mean, if you're going to go to prison, I have a teenage. I have two teenagers now. If I could find a way to go to prison, but it's like, a campus prison, I think I'd be okay with that, just until they're about 18 and out of the house. You know, it's like, hey, kids, I would have loved to been there for you with all your parent

teacher meetings, but daddy went to prison. But you've done some nice weightlifting while you were there. You're in good shape. Okay, so anyway, he's going to be locked up. Federal judge sentenced him to three years in prison for financial crimes. Two months for lying to Congress. They also order... That one's frustrating.

The line to Congress as a crime is frustrating. Because they lie to us all the time. And they have immunity. Right. They can go on the Senate floor and say anything and not be prosecuted for anything. Any accusation against any person. They can say whatever they want because they have immunity to go on the Senate floor or congressional floor and just start blabbing about whatever. That's why Harry Reid kept doing so many speeches because he would go on there and completely lie about someone and no one could do anything about it.

You know, I hear Matt Romney is a devil worshipper. There. I've said it. Now he's got to answer for it. And then like three months later, he's on TV and going, oh, yeah, no, that wasn't true at all. No, of course not. But did he get elected? No, he did not. So it worked.

Two months for lying to Congress. Oh. Can you imagine how satisfying it would be if we could just put all of them away for two months? Imagine, I think a lot of our problems would go away. Anyway. That's why I like the government shutdown so much. Me too. Maybe they stay home.

I'm for it. As a lawyer, Mr. Cohen. should have known better. This is what the judge said. While Mr. Cohen is taking steps to mitigate his criminal conduct by pleading guilty and volunteering useful information to prosecutors, that does not wipe the slate clean. I don't think he would have gotten if he didn't plead guilty and do a deal. He pled guilty in August to eight criminal charges in two different cases, one brought by the special counsel Robert Mueller for Cohen's lying to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow.

The second was for bank fraud, tax and campaign finance violations brought up by federal prosecutors in New York. You know, it's really the federal prosecutors that are finding something substantial here. I mean, it's not Mueller. Do you think? He hasn't released anything yet. We don't know what he's felt. So far. So far.

President Trump said recently, Cohen has simply been lying to get a reduced sentence for crimes that have nothing to do with him. Cohen was very emotional. He apologized to the judge. He said it was my own weakness and blind loyalty to this man. that led me to choose a path of darkness over light. Oh my gosh. That's pretty dramatic. Let me tell you something, eh?

My own weakness is blind loyalty to this man over there. And it led me to choose the path of darkness over light. You haven't dug up any concrete lately, have you? Time and time again, he said, I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds rather than to listen to my own inner voice and moral compass. I'm sorry, let me say this. that again without laughing. Rather than to listen to my own inner, I can't do it. I can't do it.

It's so, it's so impossible to take coming from him. I mean, ever since he's been in the public eye, Michael Cohen, he has been a nonstop blatant lying factory. And there's no difference between him and Michael Avanotti. Yeah, they're very similar. I mean, they'll say whatever they have to say for a while. Now they're on the same side, right? They'll say anything they have to say to try to at the beginning for Cohen, defend Trump, and now it's destroy him. And it's why you can't take one word that he says seriously. If there's not backing evidence to every one of his claims, then the claims aren't real. You just have to assume, Roger Stone's on this front too.

Anything that these guys say, you have to just immediately believe that there's nothing to them unless there's actual evidence. And if they don't have more than Michael Cohen saying these things happen, they don't have anything. Now, the speculation is they do have more. We'll see. You've got to believe they were so comfortable with each other. They probably said lots of things to each other. If there's evidence of those things, then there will be something to talk about. But as of now, until we actually see this evidence, I don't know what there is.

No, there's nothing. There's nothing. Now, the real story here, I think, is that the National Inquirer ran to change their story. Okay, soon as he was sentenced within a couple of hours, the National Enquirer was like, Hey, what was it we were talking about before? Because I was on medication. And I think I might have gotten a few of those statements wrong with you. And so the National Inquirer came out and said, oh, oh, you mean that payment to the Playboy model.

Oh, we were thinking about something else entirely. Yes, we did pay hush money. We weren't really interested in her fitness program. So we did pay her hush money. Do you remember when the National Inquirer came out and all of a sudden this woman was on the She was on the cover, wasn't she? For her fitness program.

It was after the investigation started. Yeah, they put her on actually one of their other publications covers. Yes, yes, yes. And she, it was, I think it was men, I want to say it was men's health. Yeah. And men's health, um, it never runs like, they, that's not the type of cover they run. They showed all of them next to each other. And they're all just like dudes that are all that have been working out.

a lot and then there's just one in the middle. It's a random playboy model. Yeah. That you've never heard of before. Right. Why would why is she there? I don't understand. Now, this is because they were trying to cover their track saying we didn't pay hush up money to her. We, we were very interested in her health and fitness regime. And they did nothing about it. And then she started saying, hey, what about my health and fitness regime that you're so interested in? And when the Fed started to investigate, lo and behold, they put her on the cover. See, look, that's, and what a coincidence. You're at my door asking about it, and I just happen to have this cover handy today.

So yesterday after Cohen, they were like, oh, did we tell you that that wasn't connected to hush money? I don't. We're going to fire that. That was you. Well, I don't remember it that way, but we should talk about that because that's what we told you before, not what we did because now it is confirmed that they are working with the with the prosecution here right yes well they yes and they changed their tune as soon as he was sentenced like two hours later they were in the office going yeah we should talk so um we

don't know exactly uh except if again this is true this one does matter because this one they say they were working with the campaign and not not with Donald Trump. So there could be actual problems there. Yeah. I mean, I think there's problems with the other one, but it's kind of like,

I mean, this one is really crystal clear. I'm kind of at the point of just interested in, just historically, all the stuff that happened, they're going to get this behind the scene stuff that you wouldn't normally get from a presidential campaign.

Like, I was thinking about this after the inquirer stuff came down yesterday. At some point, there were multiple stories about Ted Cruz murdering, his dad murdering JFK. And remember the affair that Ted Cruz supposedly had with like 15 women, one of which was on the staff, the campaign staff of Donald Trump.

They accused him of that. Both of those stories came out, you know, midst of that primary. If there's back and forth on that, that's going to be so fascinating to look at. Because I bet it was Michael Cohen's idea to say, say his dad,

murdered JFK. that's going to be so entertaining. I don't know. That's even beneath Michael Cohn, don't you think? I mean, I was stuck in the veto. I didn't even know he could speak. And he said, I think his dad murdered JFK. I'm just saying it might make a good story.

And it's on the cover of the inquiry next week. Or the, I mean, the affair thing, which obviously nothing ever came of. but like the spokesperson for the Trump campaign was was in that now if you're working directly with Trump and trying to do the best thing you can for Trump right you're not going to put his spokesperson in the middle of an accusation about an affair I swear someone else in the campaign was like you know who I hate is that spokesperson put her in there too this is going to be fascinating okay one minute away for more content let me uh Have you noticed that it's gotten a little colder outside baby?

It's cold outside. Let me rape you. Anyway, that's the second verse of the song. And that is highly publicized. Anyway, you're, you're, you're, you need to change your home, uh, filters in your heater or, you know, in your, in your, in your HVAC system. Because it really, you know, it's like the one thing you have to do as an adult. Shut up. And even that.

No, I, I'm not bashing you. this one. I'm just as bad. If there's not filter by sent to my house, there's no way I'm remembering it. I never. And then one day, you just like your whole house burns down. You're like, what happened? They're like, oh, you didn't change your filter for six years. That actually happened to me. The house didn't burn down. But the guy came to, you know, the guy came because we had problems with the air conditioning. And he was like, you know, have you guys ever thought about changing your filters? I'm like, no. Not once. Anyway, filter by. Go to filterbby. Go to filter by. America's leading provider of

I know you haven't been thinking about them before, but now you can think about them once and then forget about it and also get the clean air for your family, not have huge repair bills. You don't be a man.

I'm just saying, man's work. What was it? What was it that Rudolph's dad said? I think it was, yeah, Rudolph's dad. No, this is man's work. Everybody left the cave to go fine? Oh, where's Rudolph? I got to go, too.

No, this is man's work. You stay home, change the filters. That place had it. The Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer North Pole was like mad men. Like I just feel like, Santa's walking around like slapping people's butts as they walk by. Hey, chickabay. All right. Anyway, filterb UY.com.

Filterby.com. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. We have Jason Butrell in with us. And Jason is one of our head researchers, head researcher on all things foreign and all of the threats against the country. And he came in yesterday. And this is why I love him. He said, have you read the farm bill?

I'm like, no. And neither has any senator. But he started doing some research on this. And it is as bad as everybody is thinking that it is. We are going to do a special on it next week, just in time for Christmas. And we thought it was appropriate because it'll make. you turn white and it is full of red. It is a socialist utopia.

And Ted Cruz voted for it, by the way. It's not just him. No, there was 13. Only 13 stood against it. I would say that about Mike Lee if he would have voted for it. I would have said it about Rand Paul if he would have voted for it. Who didn't? Yeah, Thomas Massey.

You know, I would say this about any of these guys. Who we like, who we like and are, you know, supposed to be standing for the Constitution. This thing is loaded with really bad things. This looks like FDR's ghosts rose out of the grave and was like, I wanted one more thing I wanted in the New Deal. I want this farm bill. And so they voted for it. And they did it. That's how bad this thing looks.

Expanded welfare. Obama era like food stamp policies. They like not, they just basically gave it a shining, ringing endorsement. You don't work requirements, a lot of things like that, that the GOP, again, told us they were going to put into some of these measures. They completely caved on, just said, ah, screw it and just let them do it as such. Price controls, there's a minimum price, there's like a minimum price, or if you don't meet the minimum price, then you instantly get flooded with government subsidies. You could actually be like a dairy farmer and like just say, ah, you know what, I'm just, you know what, I'm just, not going to go to work this month because I'm tired and I want to watch soap operas and stuff.

And then if you didn't make the money is the guy that worked, you know, 80 hours a day if there was such a thing and like his fingers are literally bled to the bone. And he's going to get the same amount of money as the guy that said, screw it, I don't want to work. I mean, this is absolutely like, you know, Stalin-Lenin era, you know, like farm practices. Like countries that have done things like this, it hasn't gone too well, typically. Now, usually people starve. But, you know, Let's not worry about that. There's also some pretty interesting things about the war powers. Now, can I ask you a question?

Stu, what do farmers have to do with the war powers? Well, all farms, when you become a farmer, you learn that we should be able to invade Yemen at any time. That's the first lesson of. So farmers are very, they're very, very upset about the Yemen thing. And they want to make sure that we continue the. war in Yemen? That's what all farmers want. Damn those farmers! Yeah, really strange part of that. Thomas Massey was

the guy who drew my attention to that. And basically it's a little clause that they popped into the last second that says, currently we are aiding Saudi Arabia in their war with Yemen. And

as far as the War Powers Act goes, it does not seem like that would be legal. We have, I believe, 90 days before we're supposed to answer to Congress. We shouldn't be fighting a war that no one knows about. Right. Now, their excuse for this is, well, we're just giving support. We're not engaging in hostility so we can stay as long as we want.

Well, then it wouldn't be covered with the War Powers Act now, would it? That's what they're trying to claim initially. However, if they really believe that, it would be curious as to why in the farm bill, which you're right, every single time they put up there, it's some giant socialist program. and it is a, if you're a libertarian, it's like this type of thing that, like, makes your heart stop as it gets passed. However, it always gets past because you can't say you don't like farmers.

Everyone will just put you as anti-farmers. So everyone votes for it all the time, at least most people. But in this one, they put in a, basically a way to make it so the War Powers Act would not apply and could not be influenced because right now, Mike Lee and Bernie Sanders,

working together have come to put up a bill that says, hey, we can't just do this. We have to vote on the War Powers Act. This is binding. We need to do something about this. This basically is a, it would clear them of that responsibility. And you can see the connection. Yeah, you can see the connection between Asparagus and the War Powers Act. I think we can all see that.

Yemeni Asperigism is particularly, you know, it's got to be grown in the sand. So what day do we do this expose? I think we're going to do it on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, you don't want to miss it. And I do believe that the ghost of FDR will be visiting us. It's a Christmas ghost. It's weird. He will be visiting on that episode.

Oh, no. You don't want. That means I'm dressing up, isn't it? Yes. Yes. Back in just a minute. You're listening. No, we're really going to have FDR's ghost.

do we really are okay yeah okay um i want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor uh it was a year ago either this week or next week i think it's next week that i started taking relief factor um and i was at the end of my rope i said i just said to my wife i cannot take the pain she said just try it for three weeks try it for three weeks if it doesn't work stop taking it so i started taking it for three weeks at the end of three weeks i admit she was right and And it has changed my life. I feel like I have my life back. It's 100% drug-free, created by doctors, four key ingredients that help fight against inflammation in your body.

Every day. No, no. No, that's not true. I'm very excited about the head of Google and everything that he's doing and wants to do and continues to do. Right. Because they're completely neutral, you know, and trustworthy. Yes, he's not biased. He runs his company based on the fact that he's not biased.

And of course, their motto itself is don't be evil. So, you know, they can't be. No, they changed that. They did change that. So I guess now they can't be evil. evil. They're like, you know what, we are doing a lot of evil things. It was too hard. Yeah. That's a pretty harsh line. Pretty harsh line. Yesterday, he testified that, you know, your concerns about AI are very legitimate. However, the tech industry should be trusted

to responsibly regulate themselves. Yes. I agree with that 100%. Because, again, they used to, they used to have a motto that was don't be evil. Right. People who are evil, like, okay, the devil comes back. Okay, let's just say the Antichrist comes to Earth. He's not going to have that motto. Right. No, he's not.

No, he is not. No. He might, although he might say he does. What do you mean? He might actually say. No, the devil, when you're evil, you have to come out and say. You have to say it. It's like, are you a undercover cop?

You have to say it. Yes, I am. So are you the Antichrist? He has to say yes. Are you doing evil? Yes, we are. Yes, we are. You caught me.

Dang it. I'm here to destroy mankind. You caught me. Caught me again. A Scooby-Doo fan at mystery machine every time. Wasn't it your conversation with, um, okay, what's his face? What's his face? The developer of the AI.

Ray, Ray Kurzweil. Well, yeah. Uh, and his thing was. Yeah, we're just going to develop it. And there are no concerns because our culture at Google is such that we wouldn't do anything wrong. We'll never do these things. That's what he said. We'll never do these things.

And I said, when in the history of mankind has that worked? Yeah. One time. Right. Well, now because it's better now. Because we're Google. Right. Or Google.

And that's not enough for me. Really? Yeah. Yeah. That seems to be lacking. If they had Hugo Boss designed some snappy uniforms for everybody at Google. Do they look really cool? They look really cool.

And they hold up through history? Well, then you'll let them. You'll let them. Because nobody would dress like that. No. If they were evil. No, that's right. Right.

That's right. So you know they're specifically evil when they start dressing like that. Mm-hmm. So he got to talking about Google's AI as it applies to, filtering out some of the hate, the hate speech and the nastyness. Important work. He said he has found, through these algorithms, some hateful conspiratorial YouTube videos, and he described them as abhorrent.

And he indicated that the company is going to work harder to improve its systems to get rid of this stuff. Things like one of the videos he mentioned was one that's real popular, I think, among all conservatives. It's the one where Hillary Clinton and Uma Abidine attacked, killed, and drank the blood of a young girl. Oh, yeah. I think we've all been all over that video. How many times have we played that? Yeah, finally it's out. Thank you for me.

Thank you. Somebody in the mainstream media. It's finally talking about how Hillary Clinton drinks blood of children. Well, and Huma, Uma and Hillary, we're both, you know, killing and drinking. the blood of the girl. Is that typical, like, you know, partisan spin, though? Are they trying to say the only drink the blood of one girl? Yeah.

Is that what they're trying to say? Come on now. I mean, you know, you know what's the word. Here's the deal. And we all know. They won't cover this. They won't cover this. That they're only drinking the remaining blood that the Jews didn't make into Mata.

Thank you. Right? Thank you. But because of the Jewish cabal, you know, you can never say that. Here's the thing about these algorithms. I don't need the algorithm to tell me. that that YouTube video isn't necessarily

factually based wait a minute can you not at least give the American people Nope Any credit? No no no no no so we need these algorithms Oh of course we do and that's good

That's good that AI is going to clean up all this stuff So all the you know killing and drinking of blood of girls from our politicians Those videos are going to go away So think about this. Think about this because we used to say, hey, listen, it was on Walter Kronkite. Yeah.

Absolutely. It was on Walter Kronkine. I heard him say it. Yeah. The more they take these algorithms and they say, yes, we're taking away all of the things that aren't true. The more, the more weak our mind becomes, because we're not searching for those things ourselves, the more we trust them. The less capable we will be. Correct.

A discerning them. And the more we will say, look, the algorithm. algorithm would have taken that out if it wasn't true. Right. I mean, we just become lambs for the slaughter. And Google is, Google is so brilliant, just brilliant. I, I, I learned this from, uh, who was it, the guy who did the creepy line movie, I think. Um, and he was talking about look at, he was in one of the books.

I can't remember. But, uh, look at the. the Google homepage. When you go to Google, what's on the page of Google? Go to their homepage. The search. Just the search thing. Just the search. Okay. Go now to Yahoo. Totally clean. Oh, yeah. There's all sorts of stuff on Yahoo. Yeah. Right? It's got politics. It has news. It has advertising. It has all of these things. Google kept it clean because they wanted to say, we're completely neutral. We're nothing. We're not trying to sell you anything. We're not trying to do anything here at all. No ads. You can trust us.

Yeah. It's brilliant. That is their uniform from Hugo Boss. Their front page is their uniform. Which they've not changed since it was. No. debuted, I think, in 19, what, 97 or 98? They don't want.

Hasn't changed a bit. They don't want you. They want you to see the word Google and what you're looking for. So it's your friend. That is brilliant. It never pisses you off. Yeah. It's a brilliant strategy.

And it's a great hiding. place. And it works so well that we continue to use it even though we know we probably shouldn't. How many times have we tried to get away from Google stuff? And you can't because every time you try a different engine, it doesn't work as well. And you're like,

okay, I'm just going to Google it. Right? I mean, that's what that's what I do every time. I've tried Bing. I've tried, you know, Yahoo, Lycos. It's like... Ask Jeeves. It just don't work. It's like Google has been.

become a verb where like Kleenex just means to us tissue. Mm-hmm. Okay. And people, it's tissue. It's tissue paper. It's not Kleenex. Cleenex is a brand. How did that happen other than they must have been out in the market for a long time before

anybody caught on that, hey, you know, wiping a little box is a good thing. Here, you could have a tissue and it could be, I don't even know who makes tissues besides Kleenex, but I know everybody who's, you know, it does. But we still call it Kleenex. Google is so far ahead of their competition. It's like if Kleenex competitors were like cardboard, you'd have a cardboard box and you'd reach in and you'd pull out another piece of

cardboard. You'd be like, okay, can I have the Kleenex? Because it doesn't do it. There's nothing that is even close, I think, to Google. It's so immersive, though. I mean, because if we say Google and we need an alternative, we will get $4.4. 1400 calls for people saying, I use DuckDuck Go, which is another search engine. And Duck, dot, go is, it does actually seem to be pretty good.

And every time I've used it, I've used it on Chrome, the Google browser, which doesn't do me any good at all. I don't think. That's the only reason why they have the browser. Because they know you will escape someplace else. It's the way I said to Ray Kurzweil. So, Ray, why would a company like Google allow me to Google, to Google, to Google, Google things or allow me to find things that could dismantle them. If I was going to make a new thing, I couldn't do it online because you'd be monitoring everything.

And why wouldn't it be in the best interest of the company to make sure that I'm thwarted some way or another or that I'm watched and you guys just take it? And was his answer? They just wouldn't. They just wouldn't. They just wouldn't. They just wouldn't. They're just too good. The culture at Google is too.

too good. Well, they're not evil. All right. They're not evil. That's when you're dangerous, though, right? When you think you're so good and your goals are so wonderful, it's when these really terrible decisions get made. It's because you're sure, the end game, I know I'm right on. So, yeah, we have to cut corners here and here.

That's why the creepy line is so spooky. Because they came out and said, look, we know there's this creepy line. And we're going to go right up to that line, but never over it. Right. Well, that line is. is probably pretty gray. You know what I mean? Let's know.

I don't, I don't about you, but when I, like, I'm paying my taxes and stuff, I don't say, I want to go right up to where I'm going to go to jail, but no further. This is essentially the decision-making process of Joe Biden whenever he sees someone in a biker outfit. He's like, I've got to go right up to the creepy line and not cross it. But he doesn't know where the creepy line is. He constantly is over it. Yeah. I guarantee having him sit on your lap is past the creepy line.

But not for Joe. Not for Joe. Not for Joe. Thanks a lot, back. Simply save, home security. I think they had five or six employees when they first started on this program. They're now a billion-dollar company, and I think they're going to soon be launching worldwide. And I'm so happy for them.

These guys are American engineers and American entrepreneurs who have just really struggled to do the right thing. One of their partners actually, I think, is a Marxist, one of the people that works there. And every time I talk to her, she's like, I'm so frustrated because the capitalist system works all the time. I'm like, yes, yes, it does. Very frustrating. But they're just great, great people. And they have worked to build this system that is, you're in control of it. It is the greatest capitalist kind of system.

You are in control of your system. you own it, you're going to see how much less expensive it is than everybody, everybody else's higher quality. There's no wires. There's no contracts. You can come and go as you please. Hey, I want you to monitor my house because I'm going on vacation. They can monitor that.

And then you can cancel and say, okay, I'm back home. I don't need it anymore. And you pay for that. 1499 a month. That's it. It's simply safebeck.com. Go there now. They've got a great holiday offer waiting for you.

Simply safe Beck. com. Simply safebeck.com. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. There is a story that came out of Alabama that I'm just, it's so unsettling. A story about this nine-year-old girl, McKenzie Adams, who was bullied in school. She's black. And she was bullied because she had a white friend. And you're not supposed to have a white friend.

And her black friends were bullying and her, I guess, white, friends were bullying and she committed suicide. She's nine. Nine. Just devastating. My heart breaks for this family and the family of her nine-year-old friend. Now, imagine being her friend. I don't care what color you are.

And your friend committed suicide because they were being mocked and ridiculed for being your friend. This is so horrible. We have the aunt of McKenzie on, or as we like to say in the West, the aunt of the McKinsey on with us. And we're going to, we're going to talk to her in about an hour in 10 minutes.

And you don't want to, you don't want to miss that. So you just, it's a silent you then? It's just like they just put the you in there for, you know, no real reason. Yeah, it pretty much is. Ant.

Because the ant's a word already, so we know how to spell that. So, yeah, but where's the U in pajamas? Well, there's not a U and pajamas. So why isn't it pajamas? So you want both the A's to be pronounced differently? Yes. Ah, eh. Pa ja.

Instead of pajamas. Right, that's the way, that's the way the English language works. Pajamas? No pajamas. You can, you. Pajamas. It makes absolutely no. sense. Some things are pronounced entirely different, even though they're spelled exactly the same.

It's true. It doesn't matter. We did that quiz on the air one day from the New York Times. It's worth going back if you haven't done that. Because if you just say what your preference is on how you pronounce things, they can locate exactly where you grew up just based on like the different ways you pronounce things or the different terms you use like highway versus freeway. It becomes really specific. I mean, it's really crazy how it can mark right where you grew up. It's crazy. Yeah, it's really crazy. All right. Back in just a second with Chad Felix Green and Leon Wolf. We want to tell you about a new movie that is coming out, actually about a friend of ours, Abby Johnson.

She was a woman who had two abortions and she worked with Planned Parenthood. She was a staunch supporter of abortion. Her husband even was like Abby, Abby, Abby, Abby. She rose up through the rank. She became a director of the clinic where she worked and then it all changed when she saw what was really happening at the higher levels and she was called into a room where an abortion was taking place. It changed for her. And she's been an activist and really an important voice ever since. This movie is important for you to see. Go to unplannedfilm.com. Unplannedfilm.com. You can read

Abby's story. Check out the videos. You can even lend your support. It's very cool. Coming out in theaters next spring, but they really need your support now to help get the word out. It's unplannedfilm.com. Unplanned Film.com. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembach program. America, I need you to brace yourself. Okay? Just brace yourself.

We're going to have a conservative on. And sure, that's not unusual. But in one minute, we are going to have a gay conservative on. What? I didn't even know they existed. And the left is saying that if you're gay and conservative, you just need to shut. shot up. And I think that's the words most uttered by anti-fascists. A fascinating story, a fascinating tale from one of the guys who is a contributor at the Federalist. He wrote a piece a couple of days ago,

The stigma against my conservative politics is worse than the stigma of my being gay. Oh my gosh, that was setting hair on fire everywhere. We go there in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. So, Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but here's one number at the bank, one number that the feds don't want you to know about. $250 trillion. $250 trillion. Forget that number. You know what that number is?

I do not. That is the global debt right now. $250 trillion? Trillion. That is more money than any, all the money in the world. Yeah, I think by. five times, I think? Hmm. Yeah. So... That's not a big deal, though. Yeah, no. I think global GDP is 50 trillion.

You don't raise taxes on the wealthy. That'll do it. Oh, that'll do it. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. So we are, we're in a little bit of trouble. Rocky Road. In fact, I, I, I, I, um, Facebook post something this morning. I'm starting something next year that I, I want to bring to your attention. I'm going to be focusing on eight specific issues. They all kind of revolve around the economy and what is coming. And I urge you to pay attention to what is happening in the economy. And the Dow is a good indication that things are not stable. With that being said, the best insurance you can have against insanity is gold. Gold or silver, please look and find out if precious metals is right for you. somebody asked me the other day, what would you put your money in?

I will tell you, 10%, 10% of whatever you have should be in gold. I don't care if that's $100 or $100,000 or a million dollars, you should have 10% of your money in gold. You're not exactly a financial advisor, but that's something to consider. I think that's really reasonable. Some people say 20%, nobody says zero. I believe 10%. It's what I do.

Now, you talk to the advisors and talk to everybody else. call Goldline and find out if it's right for you. Goldline.com. That's goldline.com. Please prepare. 2019, 2020 is going to be incredibly rocky. Goldline.com or 8666 goldline. 1-866 goldline or goldline.com.

The stigma against my conservative politics is worse than the stigma of being gay. Everything I was told to fear about being openly gay has become a reality in being openly conservative. Chad Felix Green. wrote this story in The Federalist, and we have him now to talk not only about the article, but also the backlash on the article. Chad, how are you? Good. Good.

Thank you. Welcome to the program. So you are, tell me your evolution. Tell me, you know, when you came out, what you faced, what you feared when you came out. Well, I came out in 1998, shortly after Ellen did. And I was the first openly gay student in my high school. and it was a huge dramatic issue. And everything that I had access to at that time was gay media that told me that I was going to be rejected by my family, my friends.

I was in physical danger. And I was terrified every day about the impending doom that was going to happen to me. And over the years, I really only experienced people being accepting and loving and careful and sort of fragile around me. for most of my experience. And I was very liberal in college, and then, honestly, listening to, I started to explore you and Ann Coulter, and I realized that the foundation of my views leaned more toward libertarianism than progressivism.

And I just sort of became a conservative by the sheer force of I had no other choice because I couldn't promote or accept progressive ideas. Yeah, and you can't change what you believe. It becomes fundamental to you. So, Chad, do you actually mean that the stigma is worse because you're a conservative than it was when you came out in 99? Absolutely.

When I came out, people thought they were concerned about. me. My grandmother, who was a very religious Christian, was worried about my religious experience. My dad was worried that I was going to get hurt, that I was going to become HIV positive, that sort of thing. There were a lot of, what is your life going to be like now? Because people at that time really didn't see much of a life as an adult for a gay person. You kind of moved to a big city, disappeared. and that was there was a lot of understanding that needed to happen. People just needed to experience me as a person and realize how normal and average I was.

As a conservative, I experienced genuine hatred based on stereotypes and bigotry and prejudices. So wait, wait, before you start there, you were a liberal when you came out. And so you didn't have any of the conservative hate on you because you were, you know, trying to destroy our society because you're a liberal and of, you know, all of that stuff. Or, you know, none of the conservative hate that, you know, you're going to burn in the fires of hell and you should be destroyed. I certainly perceived it from watching, from reading LGBT media. And that's the reason why I started to explore conservative media because I really wanted to, I wanted to read your books. I wanted to read Anne Coulter books, John Handy, everybody, and debunk everything.

I wanted to prove that the right was hateful and wrong and accidentally realized that I agreed with you. But the truth is that nobody treated me. I experienced people who disagreed with me. I experienced people who were ignorant that didn't really understand. I've never interpreted religious disagreement as hatred, because I've always seen it coming from a place of, genuine concern and empathy. But you also don't deny that there are those people who are out there and, you know, I mean, the Westboro Baptist Church, but it is bigger than that.

There are a lot of people who have been gay throughout, you know, the human experience that have been, you know, deeply affected and hurt and persecuted because of their homosexuality. Yes. Okay. And, of course, in the world right now, outside of the United States, it is a very real danger to be a gay person or perceived to be a gay person. Correct. All right. So what have you experienced now as a conservative?

Well, the truth is that since I've been active online, as a conservative, I spend most of my time trying to explain to people that I don't believe or embrace what they think I do. and in doing so attempting to prevent them from trying to harm me in some way. I've, of course, been physically threatened, as all conservatives on Liner. I've had to make sure that my personal life is very protected because people do actively try to get you fired. They will try to, they'll send police officers to your house. They will harass your friends and family. Early on when my Facebook was opened, my friends and family received harassment

from people based on things that I said. I had to protect all of that. No one ever did that to me as a gay person. I never experienced people saying, finding out that I was gay and then treating me badly. The moment that people associate me with being a conservative, I'm instantly a Nazi, even not Jewish, I'm instantly a racist and a bigot, and I'm deserving of genuine hatred. And that's a startling experience to interact with people and realize that they genuinely hate you based on something that they genuinely don't understand about you.

All right. So I want to stop here for a second, Chad. And then I want to come back. And I want you to take us through some of the things like stop flaunting your conservatism. And some of the responses that you have had because I read the article and then I read, then I read the storm after it. And I was shocked by some of the things that I read. And they just don't seem to get it.

He wrote the article in the federalist, the stigma against my conservative politics is worse than the stigma of being gay. Tell me about stop flaunting your conservatism. So one thing that people say constantly,

and you and you'll call a lot of this when someone asked you as being conservative worse than being gay was no, being conservative means you're a bad person. I'm often told, well, if you don't want to experience the hatred, stop being a bigot or stop. stop harassing people who you hate from their perception. And I always sort of associated that with, if I just stopped talking about conservative issues, if I just stopped correcting lies and inaccuracies that I see in media, if I just stopped talking back to the left, they would leave me alone.

And that's exactly the advice that I got when I was younger, and I would tell people I was gay and I feared negative backlash people to say, well, why do you have to tell everybody? Just don't tell anybody. It's no one's business. That's what I experienced today is in my regular life, most people don't, you know, most people I know aren't interested in politics, but they'll say, well, why do you do it then? Why don't you just stop?

And there isn't an appreciation of what we actually do. They just assume that we're sort of complaining about the hatred that we're in fighting on ourselves. And they don't really understand that we are fighting for something that we actually believe in and that the hatred that we're getting forward is based on fighting. But they'll say that, you know, you're gay, you're born that way, you have no choice. And that's not political viewpoint. Right.

Take that argument apart. I think that's a huge concept here, as people are saying, well, you can stop being conservative. Or they assume that I'm conservative because I am self-hating or because I'm ignorant in some way or because I haven't been exposed to the right type of people that I will get better and become progressive. And the reason that I used that analogy that I didn't choose to be conservative is based on my personal experience of, I fought it every step of the way. I love that. Chad, I love that.

Because you are intellectually honest. And the biggest problem that we have in America is it's a lot of people will not explore because they'll start to. And if they start to see that maybe their side is weak, and I mean on both sides, any side, they start to see that maybe they're not right. They'll stop because they, instinctively know if I find out that this is true, then I've got to change everything,

and my life is going to be much different, and they don't want to do it. They're afraid. So congratulations on not being that person. Well, thank you. It would have been a whole lot easier if I had. I bet it would. I bet it would. But no, it's a, I realize that the foundation of what, of, the foundation of LGBT is

progressivism. You can't escape that. And, you know, I have a husband, and that didn't come from conservative ideas. That came from progressive pushing. But the foundation of progressivism denies liberty. It denies individuality. It denies freedom. And that's where I realized that I had a significant breaking point.

I kind of will talk about it, the left and the right today, as the left is being progressivism. And everyone who doesn't agree with progressivism finds themselves on the right. And as I explored these ideas and tried to challenge them, I realized I am pro-life. I am pro-gun in that I think you should be able to defend yourself. You know, I am smaller government. I don't want to depend on the government for everything. I don't want to give all of my money to the government for these kinds of things. And so in a way, I really don't believe that it's as simple as this is too hard.

I could just become a liberal. I would be lying if I did that. Being conservative is the consequence of my intellectual honesty about what I believe. That's great. We're talking to Chad Felix Green of the Federalist. And something interesting happened, I think, Chad, with the wording of the headline of your story, which is the stigma against my conservative politics is worse than the stigma of being gay. And it didn't identify in the headline that you are actually gay.

and what it led to, at least what I saw online, was an army of straight liberal people trying to teach you a lesson of what it means to be gay and what it's like for people who went through that experience. What does it like to get hit up by a bunch of straight liberals and giving you lessons on being gay? It's very common. I'm always assumed to be a straight white Christian

based on my looks. It's an interesting, you know, I've red hair, I am just assumed. And so it's become a running joke that I will simply respond by saying gay Jew. Because people just, they make the, they come in with the assumption, the only people who are bad fall into this category and the only people who think like this are bad, therefore you must be one of those people. And I constantly, you know, we talk about identity politics as a negative thing.

I actually use my privilege as somebody who is a minority to sort of force many on the left to realize that they are close-minded on this, that this isn't a world view that's exclusive to ignorance or that's exclusive to any particular race or religion or anything, that this is, you know, me being gay and Jewish does not impact my views on, you know, tax policy. and that they have to address their own prejudices and realize that they simply disagree with what's, the reality is they disagree with what I'm promoting, but it has nothing to do with who I am, and that's what I'm trying to get across when I do that. You also said lumping Milo in with typical conservatives.

Talk a little bit about that. Oh, well, you know, to every gay conservative and every conservative, myel is controversial. I appreciated him early on because he was kind of the Lady Gaga, the Madonna of our movement. And, you know, if we went back a decade or so ago and he were a liberal, he would be a media sensation. His type of, his type of flambalance in Columbia is what South Park and family guy and, and, and, liberal humor was. And I appreciated that he pushed the boundaries of the freedom of speech limits, and he kind of exposed the fact that colleges were growing more intolerant. But I don't always find him to be principled as a conservative. I find him to be more of a

contrarian, and that's fine. There's a place to that. But the reality is that I am compared to him, and every gay conservative is. And we are in a lot of ways, the concept that we are valid to begin with is based on him as a template, and they view him as a scam artist. So one of the stereotypes that I fight all the time is that I'm doing this for attention or I'm doing this as a scam or a con, that this isn't really, I don't know what they think I'm gaining from it, but that I'm doing this in a provocative way just to be provocative. And so I find that frustrating.

And so when they look at Milo's sort of extreme expression, they say, well, that's just what conservatives are like. He's just honest about it. And it's frustrating because we spend so much of our time trying to dispel a lot of the mythology around that. And you know, what's interesting is this is what happens. This is the difference between conservatives, hopefully, conservatives and progressives. One is a group hive mind that everybody has to be in a bucket and everybody is alike. and there's no differences. And hopefully, libertarian conservatives, no, we're all different.

I don't answer for him and I don't agree with him, but we're kind of on the same side on this particular issue and we're not on this issue. I applaud your article and your courage to say it. And the beating that you have taken is truly remarkable. But keep speaking, keep standing. From the Federalist, it's Chad Felix Green, the article, the stigma against my conservative politics, worse than the stigma. I'm going to add of my being gay. Back in a minute. You're listening.

You know, I told you a few minutes ago that I haven't felt this same kind of feeling since about 2007. When it comes to unrest and the economy in particular, I think 2019, 2020 are game-changing and game on. I was in a meeting early this morning and I said, I feel as though everything I did at Fox is now complete, and now it begins. And I just want to remind you that in a world that goes crazy in a world that has forest fires and hurricanes and earthquakes and everything else, please be prepared.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Leon Wolf is the managing editor for Theblaze.com.

And he's in to talk to us a little bit about Michael Cohen. and also, if we have time, China and Canada, because this is extraordinarily revealing. And I think China just caught on to what Donald Trump and America may actually be doing with this trade war. Let's start with Michael Cohen. Sure. Let's do it. So yesterday, he was sentenced to three years. Right. And what is the important part of this to you?

The important part is not just Cohen, but of course the company, that produces the National Enquirer also basically entered a plea agreement. You have two people now, both friendly to Trump, previously very loyal to Trump, who have admitted basically in sworn statements and plea agreements that they were ordered by Donald Trump to commit felonies. Now, the National Inquirer came out and kind of changed their story a bit. And it's my understanding that this one is we were working with the campaign, not necessarily Donald Trump directly, which changes it and makes it even more significant, does it not? It does.

And so people struggle to understand this. And I was talking with Jason Butchrell about this. Just before I came on here, people don't understand why is this a campaign finance violation. Can they prove that it came through the campaign? It's actually the fact that the money didn't go through the campaign is what makes it a campaign finance violation. Because it's a legitimate campaign expense to spend money to protect the reputation of the candidate. Right. But that's the purpose of the money expenditure.

If you're going to do that, you have to either declare it as a campaign expenditure or the people who make the expenditure have to report it as a contribution in kind. One of those two things has to happen. Neither of them did happen. It was clearly designed to evade the reporting requirements of the FEC. And that's what makes it a campaign finance violation in this case. And so both of them are making the case that they were doing this at a request from Donald Trump. And so it's as I understand this, and you're a former attorney. So you know this.

You're not only in campaign finance. Yeah, I did campaign finance for over two years. Okay. That was almost exclusively what I did. So when it comes to this, it's a felony because if I told Stu, hey, go kill this person. I'm being held just as culpable for the for the murder as he is, correct? Right. And, you know, look, any campaign, any presidential campaign in particular, they're so large of a general election.

candidate, you know, a serious candidate is going to probably have some campaign finance violations. Just because it's such a difficult thing to keep up with and maintain 100% compliance. But if you have a willful violation, as this appears to clearly have been, that's what brings into the level of out of, oh, we're just going to find you X number of dollars and people have to go to jail. Okay. So let me give you, let me take you through a couple of things. First of all, Dinesh D'Souza, that was clearly a political hit.

Rosie O'Donnell was much worse. You're saying an inconsistent application of the law, right? Yes. Is it what you're talking about there? So, I mean, if you're going to put Dinesh to Susan in prison, Rosie O'Donnell should have gone to prison as well. She was much worse, did basically the same thing, except she knowingly was doing it,

admittedly saying, you know, I'm using different names and everything else. She knew exactly what she was doing. Not a problem for Rosie O'Donnell. When it comes to Barack Obama, campaign finance violations, I think it was $2 million dollar campaign finance violations. he paid a fine. Why is this one different? Because of what I just said.

I mean, I think the expectation is that in the course of handling all the various different donations and recording all the donations in kind, you almost always miss some. That's like an expected thing. And then the FEC catches you and you file an amended statement and you pay a fine. It's sort of like taxes, right? They always say, like, you have no idea if you're really filing everything perfectly. And if they really look into it, they're going to find something that you screwed up even completely unintentionally. Right. But with Al Capone, there was another set of books.

Exactly. Exactly. So the differences between, oh, I had a good faith belief that I could claim this as an exemption and I hid $150,000 worth of income intentionally from the IRS. Those are two different penalties. So what is the Trump explanation for this? So Trump's, Trump's explanation is, is, it's a plausible one. Okay, I wouldn't laugh it out of court if I were a judge, is that, you know, the money was not spent to protect his reputation as a candidate. It was spent to protect his reputation with his family, prevent his wife and his kids from being embarrassed. It is the Bill Clinton excuse. Right.

And it kind of an interesting analogy, you know, we've been through this once before, actually. People have already forgotten it, even though it's been less than 20 years ago. But John Edwards, as you recall, was prosecuted for literally this exact same thing. John Edwards had an affair. he used campaign finance money to pay off his mistress to stay quiet. He was prosecuted for this. Now, ultimately, that was part of his argument to the jury, which was successful at least in hanging the jury, was, you know, look, this is, this is, you know, A, it's a legitimate campaign expense because it's protecting my reputation as a candidate. And B, you know, it's not a campaign finance violation because I have other interests that were involved that I'm trying to protect with that. So unfortunately, that one, we didn't get like a court ruling on, like a judicial decision that sets a precedent.

as to whether that's a valid argument or not, but there's at least an argument that a jury, and look, John Edwards is not a sympathetic, was not a sympathetic guy. His wife was dying of cancer, okay? The jury had every reason to hate him and come down like a ton of bricks on him, but for whatever reason,

enough of them bought that on the jury that he ended up walking. And the other thing that was Washington Examiner that kind of did a story on this and made the point of, when a presidential candidate, for example, their example was, goes to get a haircut.

You have to get a haircut to, you know, to look good on camera. And so he goes, and he pays for his own haircut. In theory, you could say that's a campaign finance violation because he's spending money to improve his candidacy. But of course, that would be completely ridiculous. And if you go down that same line,

is there kind of a line of a defense there? Like, yes, he's spending money that will help him as a candidate in theory, but this was more of a private thing. And that's why they should have, why they should overlook it. I think Donald Trump could make a case he was more afraid of Melania than he was the American people. It could be.

It could be. But the problem that he's going to face, is going to be what did what did Cohen and the National Inquirer people tell the DA, right? What did Donald Trump say to them? And of course, in a lot of that, we don't know yet. If they have him saying, this will destroy my campaign. Right. Then it's a different story.

Right. And that's the big thing because if it's just Cohen's word, it means nothing. Yeah, but if it's the Cohen's word and the National Inquirer's word, it means nothing. It means nothing. But if they have texts and emails and recorded phone conversations, then it's different. It could be big. And that's, and that is big because, you know, as we say this, this is not part of the Mueller investigation, right? This is all Southern District of New York.

They have the policy. They're not going to indict a sitting president. This is all about what the House is going to do. Right. And it's all about what the Democrats can convince people politically is an impeachable offense. I mean, that's what impeachment is. It's not a legal thing. It's a political thing.

You are. Ford said it best. You've done. You were a. you were an attorney for campaign finance violations. Impeachable offense? This? Where it stands today?

Let me say this. I've seen people prosecuted for less. But those people were not the president of the United States. That's a completely different. It is a completely different ballgame. Okay. Let me switch to China and Canada because there's something going on and most people are not paying attention to this. China has now just disappeared.

appeared a Canadian suit. They got another one this morning. They got another one. Yes. Explain who they are. I'm handicapped because I came and got off a plane and got right here. So I don't know the particular, but it's a fairly low level.

It's not anybody who's on the level of the one that the Canadians, you know, snatched from the Chinese. It's not like the CFO of a major company. It's still more, I think, on the level of message sending than actual retaliation. So what happened is we said, we, there's a Chinese official in Canada. Sorry, her father is high up in the Communist Party, but she runs a company that has been known to be dirty for a very long time, stealing all kinds of stuff from America.

And so Donald Trump said, we want her extradited into the United States. You can't go home. China flipped out. Now, China has just taken two business people from Canada. and they're saying, you better release ours because two can play at this game. This is really, I think, what is really happening on China. And this is the beginning of a very strong Cold War here between us. We are saying it's like the trade war is not just about trade imbalance.

Right. It is about stop stealing our stuff. Right. So I'm, you know, I have been waiting for someone to do something like, this, like what Trump has done for a long time. Like, I'm not, I've never thought tariffs were the answer. I still don't think they're the answer. But it is an issue, the Chinese theft of American intellectual,

but they just have no respect for Western intellectual property. It's a known problem that has been for years and years and years. And we've all been screaming for the somebody needs to do something. And now Trump has done something. I think that's, that's a good first step. But what we're seeing is that this is a very dangerous game to play, right? because the Canadians, Trudeau, has got to go to his people and say, I have a reason for holding this CFO of, you know, China. And Trump has got to come to the American people and say, we have a reason for this person we've arrested.

The Chinese government, they don't have to explain this to their own people. They can snatch as many of our people and Canadians as they want and just disappear them off the street. And they don't have to go and say, oh, you know, well, here's why. There's just, somebody's just gone. And that's the concern is that there are a lot of American Canadian nationals. over there. If we start engaging in this tit for tat, who knows where that could end up. Who knows where that could end up? But it's an interesting first step in, you know, if it is a negotiating employee, we'll see how it works. Real quick in 60 seconds. Tell me what you think is

going to happen in both of those cases where they leave. This pure speculation. I'm asking to look in 2019, we're going to see impeachments in the house or just investigations? I don't think so. I don't think I don't think we're going to see impeachment proceedings in the House unless something else major comes out. I don't think this campaign finance thing is going to be enough for the Democrats to roll the dice on that because you have to know Republicans are not going to buy this. They have to know it's a dead end in the Senate no matter what happens. If some other damaging information comes out, if Trump's approval rating dips down into the 20s, if the economy goes sour, maybe we see a different analysis. But I doubt it. Canada, China, the United States.

trade. How does this get worse in 2019 to a happy ending or does it get worse and there's, you know, we're not headed towards a happy ending a year from now? Consciously optimistic that it's going to get better. I think that both sides are at the point and there is dialogue that's going on. I think both sides are at the point that they can still back away from the precipice on this one. And I hope that that's what ends up happening. But, you know, it is, listen, it is very important for us to protect our intellectual property rights and I hope that some I'm hopeful that some kind of deal will get worked out to where that'll happen. We both have a lot to lose and I think they have more to lose than we do.

I agree. Just on technology at least today. Now is the time to play this card if you're going to, if you're actually going to play it. Leon, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. The managing editor of the blaze.com. You find all your news there at the blaze. All right.

I want to tell you about a game that you can play with. your family for the holidays. And it actually, there's no politics in it. You can actually sit around and really laugh with your whole family. And this is a side benefit. They didn't do it for, for this, but it is for me. It's a side benefit. You actually learn how your kids think and learn how the other family members think.

Because you're encouraged to say anything. It's, you know, you pass out cards. You have to have, you know, you have to respond to what the card is saying. and it just is headspinning at times. And if you do say the wrong thing, you will lose your job hosting the Oscars. Remember that's part of the game. So, I mean, that is.

So if you are thinking about that you're going to host the Oscars, don't get it. Everybody else, go to the toy section now at Target. Get this game for the holidays. You'll love it. It's called Say Anything. It's at the toy section in Target. Say Anything.

So, Stu, you know how I, I've said, don't fear the machine. Don't fear the robots. Don't fear AI. I know what you're going to say. Fear the goals. Fear the goals. Why?

Because once the AI has the idea that it has a goal in mind, it will do whatever it has to do to accomplish it. And it will not stop. It won't stop. It doesn't care if it happens to be, you know, hurting someone or... Correct. Right. So when these big, huge robots in these factories, when they go awry, they go awry. Because they do.

not stop. The first, I think the first accident was back in like in late, late 1990s. And it was, I think in a, I think it was in an auto factory. And it just kept pushing like this engine on top of somebody, just crushing them because they got in between. And it wouldn't, the machine could not get the engine where it was because the person was blocking it. And they, by the time they stopped it, the guy was just mush. But the machine just would not stop. there is another accident that happened a day.

And I just tweeted this. This picture is unbelievable. The guy lived. But I don't know what this machine was supposed to do, but it was supposed to drive spikes into something. And then, you know, another machine would put the bolt on it. Well, a guy got in front of it. And it drove six spikes through his chest and through his arm.

and these are huge spikes. Shockingly, this guy is alive, but it shows him on the operating table. And it is, it's one of the worst things I've ever seen. By the way, it was 10, not 6. Was it 10? Yeah, you can only see 6 in one of the photos, but it was total of 10.

I don't want to know, man. Jeez, wherever the other. My gosh, because this is, I'm surprised this guy lived, because it looks like one had to go through his lung, and another one went right through his shoulder, And then his two, four more in his forearm. It said one of them narrowly missed an artery.

But it's, he was actually able to move and get up after this. But this is, I mean, this is China too. I mean, they're, I'm surprised they just didn't throw him out in the street.

You know, I mean, hey, that's what happens when you get in the way of the machine. Next. Grind him up for fuel, essentially. Yeah.

No, yeah, that's, it's a, the pictures are really gross. If you're pretty amazing. I've never seen anything like it. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, so the other thing when it comes to China is there is more news, and I don't know if we're going to be able to get to it today. There is more news about China actually data mining people's minds and how bad this is getting in China and how they've been doing it for a while. And so they are really way ahead because, you know, they've got several billion guinea pigs who are willing participants. You know, either that or you go to the gulag. So, of course you're willing. But the data mining of our own minds at work, at play, they can now begin to see those things.

It is indeed a brave new world. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembach program. McKenzie Adams. She was nine years old. She wanted to be a scientist when she, grew up. She excelled in math. She was always bringing home hundreds in her homework. She also liked to ride her bike, playing with dolls, PlayStation 4. She would record goofy videos with her cousins.

But she just killed herself. The family is now having to bury McKenzie on Saturday. Her body was discovered at their home in Alabama on the third. by her grandmother. What killed McKenzie Adams? It's not a new story. It's not a new story. We'll talk to McKenzie's family. And see how they're turning a tragedy

into possibly some sort of a blessing for others. We do that in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program. I want to thank Liberty Safe for sponsoring this program. They have been one of our longest running sponsors. And I want to thank Liberty Safe for doing that great company. American Finance is also another company that has been with me, I think, since after the crash, maybe 2009. Because American financing called me in 2007.

They've been fans of the show for a long time. It's a family-run business. And they said, hey, we want to talk to. to do about mortgages and refinancing mortgages and everything else. And I said, no, I think the housing market's going to collapse. And it's because of mortgage companies. And they said, that's not us. We don't do that.

We work for the customer. We don't work for the banks. And I said, well, call me after the crash and we'll see. And they did. They called me after the crash. And they were fine. Their customers didn't have a problem because they don't jam you into a loan that's not right for you. American financing, whether you're looking to refi, consolidate.

Mackenzie Adams, a little girl who she was nine and committed suicide. I don't even know how that happens to a nine-year-old. This story is so tragic on many levels. Edwina Harris, the aunt of McKenzie Adams, is with us now.

First of all, Edwina, our deepest, deepest sympathies go out to you and the family. I cannot imagine what you guys are going through now. Thank you. It's been really hard. So, first of all, tell me a little bit about McKenzie. Tell me who she was. McKinsey was a very bubbly little girl, very smart, very funny. She liked to tell jokes like a granddad.

Love family, love to travel, zoo, go out to eat, the beach, you know, just a really sweet, fun, and energetic kid. So she was being bullied in school and she was being bullied, if I'm not mistaken, because she was friends with a white kid? Is that true? That is true. It's more to it, of course. Because, you know, of course, she was a cute little girl, you know, had a lot of love. You know, every jealousy is not just what you have, but it's who you have. but it's who you have around you as well.

So that was some of it. And the family that she wrote with loved her unconditionally as if she was theirs because they only have one child as well. So she was like his sister. They were really, really close. And they would pick her up for school sometimes and she would go in. And was it white kids or black kids that were or both that were? It was both. That was bull in her.

It was both. Oh, gosh. Man, does it ever. does it ever get better in Alabama? So, so, what was happening with the bullying that you can talk about? Like,

what was being said? Basically what you guys have read of, you know, the name card of the bee and black nigger and, on papers, it would say, kill yourself, kill yourself,

things like that, yeah. And of course, McKenzie, you know, we come, uh, our home,

home, we're Baptist. So she comes from a faith-based home. We, you know, we go to church. We believe in God and faith and all those things. So what she did is not something that's taught, you know, that's not even something that's even brought up, you know, as far as suicide and killing yourself and deaths and things of that nature. So she's taught to love everybody. And, but the booing, and, you know, of course, my mom is a respected individual in this community, which is something that has been lacking to be said because my mom has master's degrees. She worked for D.H.R. And the mental health center as well.

So the people that's in the school system has worked with my mom in one form or fashion or another because my mom dealt in children's services. So the talks of bullying my mom addressed because she knew about it. The talks of how to deal with it. My mom was, these are the things that she's in her profession has always helped other people get through. So it was a breaking point on that Monday that happened at school that had to have pushed her there because she had a loving environment that wouldn't have. We hear. All she had to do was.

Do you know what happened on Monday that pushed it over the edge? That is something we are still working on. I'm working diligently with Chief Austin to find that information out because, you know, kids have their cell phones. a lot of things that we're finding that we're still searching and trying to get final answers about. Now, I read that she was a great student, hundreds on all of her tests, but then recently that started to fall apart. So that was a warning sign that something was going on.

And she did talk to your mother. And the mother did talk to the teachers, right? Absolutely. and my mom went to the school, my sister called school. My mom went up there a couple of times. And as I said, my mom worked with the schools in both cities because of her profession, and they were more so of colleagues. And so she talked to them and they assured her that they would make sure that she'll be fine.

She can come talk to them anytime she wanted. If anything was happening, she just, McKenzie just should let them know. And that was to the assistant principal, to the council, to the council. and my mom was not able to speak with one of the teachers, but she was able to speak to another one. So, yeah, they assured my mom. And my mom wouldn't keep sending my niece back if she didn't get that assurance from people that she's worked with before. And the main bullying kid, he was suspended for bullying earlier, was he not? Now, I don't know about suspension, but I do know he was put in in school suspension.

Well, you know, in school, the ISS, not completely suspended from school, which is what he needed to be expelled from school, but he was put in in-school suspension, yes. And with that came documenting documentation, which my mother does possess a carbon copy of that information where that incident took place when he was put in-school suspension and my niece was rode up for standing up for herself. So, I can't, I just, I, you know, I have kids. And at nine years old, I mean, I'm worried about my, you know, my 14-year-old son and my 12-year-old girl. And I see the rate of suicide going through the roof and something is happening with our kids. But at nine, it's, this is just, it's stunning. And I've, I've been thinking about you guys and praying about, you. you and your family, but I also feel so, I'm so worried about her friend who, I mean, how is,

do you have any idea how the family is dealing with this? So he doesn't feel like my friend just because I was white or just because we were friends or whatever, the reason that she's dead now. I just, this, this is such a tragedy. he's actually at the beach right now. They, I don't, I'm not sure if they're going to return him, which I highly recommend, and that's my recommendation for any parent that really feels in their heart that my mother did what she said, which was went to the school and reported it, that if you feel in your heart that my mother did what she said,

because you know my mom, everybody knew there, knows my mom and my dad, their respective individuals in this county to move your kids. Because if this is what they want to say, what more will they do if it was your child? If your kids are feeling threatened at school, please move them. Please move them. Because sending your kids out of your home from your protection to give them to someone that will fail to protect them, that is not a good feeling. I am a mother. I am also in the school systems in Atlanta as well.

and I take what I do very seriously. When you have allowed your kids leave your home and come into my possession, they are now my children, and I'm going to protect them in every fire of my being. I am not a punk educator. I am not scared of these kids that think that bullying is okay. I stand up to these kids, just as I did in high school. When this happened, an outpour of people that I had protected, some I honestly have forgot because it was my heart to do that.

if I saw somebody being mistreated, I would step up for them. But I was also one of the popular kids. So I was in band and cheerleading and different things like that. But that was my duty in my position just as I have one now in media, in Atlanta, to stand up and be this voice for those people that seem that can't do that. And those individuals like they're doing, I don't know how this happened to your niece, when all you did was took care of me, all through high school, all through middle school, or whatever the time frame it was that I protected those individuals.

And it wasn't just one or two, you know, 40, 50 different people that, and I was like, oh, my God, I said, girl, what are you? You know, I forgot because that's just who I am. That's just what my family, who my family is. And for it to happen to my niece, it was heartbreaking because nobody stood up for my niece. Nobody, the karma that we've done for people, the good, my niece had to suffer with this. No teacher stood up like my mom and my dad and myself have stood up in the education school. sister, my aunts that are teachers and professors and, you know, doctors and in education. Nobody stood up for my niece.

Nobody stood up for my baby. Nobody. Really? You have, you have started a go-fund me page called the McKenzie Foundation. You can find it just by searching for McKenzie Foundation. And you have a goal of $10,000. You've already gotten $3,000. And you want to focus not just.

on the bullied, but you also want to focus on the bully him or herself. In what way? Well, it happened. Some of those guys that I did go to school with, and some people I did know, what they said, well, is when I just want to be honest with you, I was the bully. And the reason I'm telling you is because I trust you, but I also read where the person that I used to bully in school was stating a story how their life is still in turmoil because I'm not. I'm not going to be a because they have been bullied for so long in school. So it doesn't stop when you're an adult. These things live with you for the rest of your lives.

So said, so many people that I've been reading that have been inboxing me. So I want to bring in those people that have opened up to me and there was a bully. Right now I'm talking with them to see what was happening in your life at this time that made you feel that coming to school to bully someone else was okay. And the stories vary. It's from things that happened with drug addiction. It was a single parent home. Other family members were bullying them,

so they came to school and bullied someone else. So the bully has to heal first. Because if we can target and help the bully, they won't bully someone else because it takes a bully for there to be bullying. Edwina Harris, the aunt of McKenzie Adams, my wife and I wish we could be at the funeral on Saturday. I don't know why. I just feel so attached to McKenzie and what she went through and the little boy as well.

And I just want you to know that you're in our thoughts and in our prayers and blessings to you and the family. And may this turn out to be in the long run. run, something that will bring honor to McKenzie's name for a long, long time to come. Yes, sir. Thank you so much. If you would like to donate, you can go to GoFundMe. It's the McKenzie Foundation. They're trying to reach $10,000 to be able to have some of these former bullies come in

Right back into programming, this is the Glenbeck program. So up at glenbeck.com today, there is a flashback of something that we did. I haven't even seen it yet, but it's a flashback of me in 2008

talking about baby it's cold outside and saying well look how ridiculous this song is yeah you basically predicted all of the the terrible things that have been said about baby it's cold outside from back in the day someone actually speculated after we posted it that you know someone from the left

was going through to try to catch you on something from a million years ago some horrible thing you said and just thought that this was a good idea you're mocking the idea that maybe it's cold outside is about date rape. But now that's a thing that's actually believed by every person who says they love social justice online. And you kind of predicted the whole controversy about 10 years ago.

First of all, it's a very funny segment. Is it arable still? Yeah, well, I don't know if it's arable per se. Go listen to it online. Because so much you say, like last week is no longer arable this week. No, I mean, certainly Kevin Hart is find that out. 10 years old, that's not going to go well. No, but it was really, it's very funny.

And you're, and you're mocking the idea that someone would think, you know, this is about date rape. But, I mean, if you want to read it that way, if you want to hear the song in that light, you can. It is like, it's very funny in that it can have that meaning. Obviously, that was not the intent. You talked about this yesterday. The intent was actually the exact opposite. The intent was to say it was freeing for women at the time. Yeah, women could make their own sexual decisions.

women could be coy and play hard to get and say, yeah, I'm going to stay. That was not a role of a woman back when that song was written. You didn't do this. This was a very empowering, a woman empowering song. Context matters, right? No. It's supposed to. No, not anymore.

But if you go back and listen to this, and it's a very fun Christmas listen, it's at glenbeck.com. We tweeted and put it on Facebook as well. It's worthwhile, especially because you see now today, people who are supposed to be, you know, trustworthy arbiters of culture are making all of the points you're making for real. They're saying these things are really offensive. It's really bizarre. All right, you find that at glenbeck.com. Let me talk to you about, have you ever heard of Jimmy Johns, the sandwich place? Oh, heard of it.

Yeah, okay. I've been there many times. This, this bastard. What do you do? Jimmy Johns. Oh, he's just showing off. Oh, no, really? Yeah, he went into a Walmart in Illinois and paid off $81,000 worth of layaway goods,

probably only to do it just to get his name in the paper and have everybody think good thoughts about him. These bastards. You know, what a jerk. Yeah. What a jerk. Clearly not a Christian. You know, and Tyler Perry. Wow, what a showboat that guy is.

Yeah. I this is a seemingly going around I think some some some uh I guess someone who sees themselves as a competitor of yours over uh what is a daily caller or something is like it's like I never understand this it's like we're if we're all like kind of fighting for conservative values you know I never understand why everyone gets so nasty with each other that's always been a bizarre feature but I guess you know it's media whatever and I guess they're they're they're trying to uh to make your your donation look bad um well because looking for attention.

I should have been quiet. I did see a theory online. I love this one. That I am so broke that I'm only doing this to look like I'm not broke. Ah, it's brilliant. That's brilliant. Yeah. If you're living under a bridge, work that magic tonight.

Right. You know, look, I don't understand that. I mean, you know, Bono used to get beat up all the time, sometimes by conservatives who would say, oh, he's selling these T-shirts and a portion of them is going to, you know, some charity. I always thought that was great. Yeah, you know, I don't think that was considered, I don't think most people did, because it's a celebrity and he's making a big deal out of it. And he's, and they, they put these in stores all over the country. It's a capitalist thing. And they went after, at the end, they were like, well, only 10% of the money, you know, for these shirts

winds up going to the charities. And it's like, well, that was kind of what was promised. 10% of the proceeds will go to charity and why donating millions and millions of dollars to charity through this. And if he didn't talk about it, no one would buy the shirts. If Tyler Perry would have kept this secret, it wouldn't have given me the idea. Or Kid Rock. Kid Rock. Or Jimmy Johns. Or you, the thousands of people all around the country who heard these ideas and went, I'm going to do that.

Well, I've, you know, we're coming to the end of the week. Tomorrow is Friday. We've got a whole bunch of really important stuff to talk about. I've got really important story to share on the Glenn Beck program. Stu, I don't know what you have. If you had to pick out of all of the stack of stuff that you have and the huge stack I have, I've got one story. It has to be done today.

Okay. Yeah, I've got a pretty important one as well, I think. So I have the Nigerian president. is denying that he died and has been replaced by a clone. He's denying it? He's denying it. Despite the fact that they look identical? Identical.

You look at the pictures side by side of him now, the clone, and the real guy, you cannot tell the difference. So, I mean, maybe. That's just unbelievable. So they say that he died on a medical vacation in London last year. after he received a treatment for an undisclosed illness. But then he went back. And because he's running for re-election, he couldn't do it because he was dead.

Right. He's dead. So they had to. So they made a clone. And he's now saying, no, this is a quote, it's the real me, I assure you. Well, that's exactly what a clone would say. Exactly right. That's what I was thinking. That's what I would say.

and I'm a clone. Oh, no. You wouldn't say that if you were really a clone. If I were really a clone, here's what I would say. You genetically engineered me and I look and feel like this. Cure some stuff while you're in there. If this guy is the Nigerian president and he's a clone, he's pissed because they cloned him and genetically engineered him to be exactly the same as the 76-year-old guy who is about to kick it anyway. I say, too, if they do clone the Nigerian prince, there's going to be no elder.

really people with any money. Yeah. That will be over. They will all be getting letters. No, really, I am the Nigerian prince. I'm not the clone. Now, if you are looking for another part-time job. And I don't know if this would be you exactly.

Now, this is the story that you think is really important. I think so. This is what we do for a living. Inside the underground breast milk market. Oh my gosh. It's finally been exposed. The underground breast milk market. It actually is kind of a fascinating story because there is a market and a lot of times,

a lot of places will ban the idea that you could pump your own breast milk and sell it to someone else to feed to their child. That is what we're talking about. Now, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. This is this in the United States? In the United States. Of course it is.

Yes. Why, of course it is. Because that's where I'm involved in it. Okay. I've been pumping these. No milk is coming up. But I've been pumping like crazy. It hurts.

They look of size. So they, it's an interesting regulation. question. Because I think there's a there's some at some level there's a feeling I think among people that it just doesn't feel right. Right? Like it just doesn't feel right that you should be doing that. That's what a wet nurse

was. Do you ever read things like Mary Poppins or whatever and they're like, oh, well you was my wet nurse? That's what a wet nurse was. Right. And so that doesn't happen very often anymore. Well, I mean it does but it the idea here is that you're actually selling for profit. Right. Oh my gosh. Right. No way.

And that's of course where all these things get nasty. Because if someone was doing it for free, you might look at it and say, oh, well, that's, that's, that's okay. It's charitable. They're helping. If they really, if breastfeeding is that important to a mom and this is the only way that they can get it done, okay. I have to tell you, I'm a little uncomfortable, you know, with the term breast milk black market. I mean, if it is like, pst, come here, I've got some breast milk for you, I wouldn't buy it. But if it was somebody that I knew and somebody was a friend of the family and then they said, you know, I can provide.

real breast milk and you knew them and you're like you know what I'll pay you for that what's the problem well I mean you know that is the that's the issue here I think does come down to the exchange right it becomes can you make a profit off of this because so many places have said no now there's a black market only because plate people have outlawed the idea that you could sell it to someone it's not like there actually people like in trench coats I don't think pumping in the back alleys this is like this is a situation where the slave flavor. It's a situation where people want to share their, they want to be able to sell their breast milk and the government's stopping them. Why? As long as it doesn't, as long as there's not somebody behind them going, keep lactating, right?

Well, I mean, there are risks, right, with disease potentially. Someone could have it. But you can easily. I mean, there's, I mean, come on. I don't know. You could easily make this so it's safe. if you, yeah, if you allowed it, right? If you allowed it in front of everyone to do. You let it in the light of day. I mean, this is the, you always have this argument, you know, this is a libertarian sort of position for sure. But it's like, you know, when you come to selling organs, right, that's always, those things become controversial. I think because it kind of just grosses us out in some way. It doesn't feel right.

Organs are a little different. Yeah. Organs are a little different. And, and by the way, if the Nigerian president is selling his breast milk as a clone, I want to know about it. I want to know about it. All right. So we're going to move on.

Cologne milk is not currently allowed to be to share. So yesterday, yesterday, we can't do clones yet. I don't know if anybody knows that. Yesterday, we told you about a World War II veteran. His name is Lauren Kisick. And he landed at Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. And the thing that caught my eye is this guy, he was 19 years old. He's always wanted to go back.

He is the only survivor now of the 453rd, which was out of Fort Knox, Kentucky. He was a machine gunner on D-Day. His wife never really wanted to travel, and he would just never leave her side. They were married for 71 years. she unfortunately has just passed away from leukemia and the two daughters now are trying to save up enough money to bring dad to the D-Day 75th anniversary over in France, which happens next summer. So they were trying to raise $12,000 and I think I don't remember how much they had yesterday, but now they have $19,000. And so I don't know if they've told dad yet, but we have Lori and Julie the two daughters. on the phone now from Tacoma, Washington.

Hi, Lori. Hi, Julie. Hello. Are you guys there? Good morning, yes. How are you? Good morning. Very well. Thank you. Thanks to you. It's good to talk to you. You know, I grew up. Part of my childhood was in Puyallup, so we were kind of neighbors for a while. I was thrilled to read what you were doing for your dad. Have you told him yet? Are you saving it for Christmas? or?

No, he knows. We told him that we were working on this. And so, no, he is aware. And he is quite ecstatic to be able to go back. And I think he's in a little bit of disbelief right now. But, yeah, it's a, thank you so much for your help. We never would be here without you. And it is just.

absolutely overwhelming to see how the kind thoughts that people are sending and donation. It's just so encouraging and so heartwarming. Well, first of all, it wasn't me. It's this audience. This audience is really remarkable. It's incredible. I've read the comments and I cry when I read them. I have an 18-year-old daughter and we were reading them and we were just all choked up about people given 10

$5. It just, it's overwhelming. It just went from $4,000 to over $19,000 and left 24 hours. We're just dumbfounded and so grateful. Thank you. Now, you could take that extra and maybe fly in first class and really, just really treat your dad for something remarkable. Or we could take a cut of that and spend it on something useless. Thoughts, thoughts?

What do you think? It's a tempting offer, isn't it? Tempting offer. Several people had mentioned that, you know, since we were going over goal, that maybe we could get him a first-class flight, so we're going to try to do that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to. He will love it.

Is he healthy enough to really appreciate all of it? Yes, he is. He's quite mobile. and he's very alert. You know, I mean, he's with it. He's still driving. You know, maybe shouldn't be, but he is. But he, yeah, he's very active socially.

And, yeah, so there is no issues. You know, he's quite mobile. He can get around great. In fact, we have a hard time keeping track of him. We tell him to check in and we can't find him. That's great. That's great. It's a problem.

After. He's going on. Yeah. He's pretty funny. After 71 years of marriage, you had to be worried about him because usually, I mean, people like that, they just, they grow into one. And it's beautiful to see. How's he handling that? He's handling it.

We're, you know, we see him and talk to him every day. We're both really close. and so we're just making sure that he's eating properly. He's taking his blood pressure medicine as he's supposed to and just kind of keeping up with that. And as my sister said, he keeps himself very busy. And it is hard to track him down sometimes because he won't turn his cell phone on.

So he can't hear it. His hearing isn't so good, but everything else is great. Everyone loves him and they spend a lot of time. The neighbors, my sister spends a ton of time. He spends a couple nights a week at my house with my husband and my daughter and I. He'll just hang out. So he's very much a people person and loves to be around people. Well, two things.

A, I want to put you in touch with somebody who is trying to record all of the remaining voices of everybody who fought in World War II. That would be awesome. He's making an amazing archive, and so I'll put you in touch with him. But I want to ask you a favor, will you take our audience with you? So when you go, alert us and then make some videos and take some pictures so we can follow your dad and you guys on this trip. You know, absolutely. In fact, some of the comments had been that they looked forward to hearing about the trip.

And that sort of triggered in me that we needed to chronicle this. We needed to make it so that other people could share in the moments that we're sharing with him. And so absolutely, we will make that a priority to do. And we'd love to talk to him either before you go or after you go, if that's appropriate. Oh, yes. That would be appropriate. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Lori. He'll probably talk your ear off. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. I tell you, we had a hundred.

What was, what was he? 103? We had a guy here. He was a big fan of ours and he just passed away because he was hit by a truck. Oh, you're kidding. No, it was awful. Yeah. He was out riding his bike and somebody hit him.

He was 103 or so. The guy could, he sat there and he told us about what it was like the day the stock market crashed in 29. It was incredible. We love hearing stories. from these people. Yeah. He has some fabulous stories. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Okay, guys, thank you so much. Congratulations, and we will...
