My wife and I signed up for it last night and we'll tell you all about it. Also, marriage isn't an end to freedom. It is the ultimate freedom, the source of happiness in our relationships. And is there any evidence that anyone on the left can provide that Brigitte Macron can give to prove that she's a woman? You don't know how to define it. What kind of pictures could they possibly show? Don't think about that too long. It would prove she's a woman. We have all this and so much more on today's podcast. Some people call it aging.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

All right, so let me give a message to a couple of groups of people, and I want to speak specifically to you. If you are in the age between 30 and 130, because you never know. You could be voting in, you know, in Illinois at 130 anyway, you're never too old to learn. Ever, ever, ever. The minute you stop learning is the day you start dying. And here's an easy way to do it. The price is really right, it's free, and you can do it on your own time. It's Hillsdale. But there's other options. And I'll get into that here in a second. Let me also speak directly to the group of people that are under 30. I want to talk specifically to you. If you're a young man or woman and you're standing at the edge of adulthood and you're wondering what to do, you have been told your whole life, go to college or you'll. Or you will fail. So what did you do? You put in years of work. You studied so hard to pass every test, to get high enough grades to be able to get into the college that you wanted to. You volunteered your time. You took all of the tests and all the classes you needed to take because that was your gateway. That was your gateway to a bright future. Your parents, your grandparents, all of us encouraged you because they were right until recently. But here's the truth now, things have so radically changed that college, for many adults or many coming adults, it is the fastest road to failure. And I'm going to lay this case out for you. I want you to ask yourself, you just got out of high school. Let's say you were in 12 years of a really broken system. Is that broken system. Do you want more of that? Do you think that what they didn't prepare you for, on moving out of your house, even understanding financing, being, being able to read or write or do math, do you think those people will suddenly prepare you for success in the next four years while you're paying for it. Because here are the facts. Listen to these. Today, only 37% of high school seniors are proficient in reading, 37% in math. It's worse. Only 24% of your fellow graduates in high school can do math. That's the foundation. Here's what happened. This system took your took the hard earned money, really, from your mom and dad through crippling taxes. We spent more money per pupil than anyone else in the world. And what do you have to show for it now? That same system, the same experts to design that nightmare want to want you to step up to the plate and bet a hundred grand or more on four years of what? The same. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Here's what's going to happen. You're going to take on debt. $37,000 on average, often more than 50,000. You're also going to give up earnings, another $120,000 in lost wages over four years. And then what? Those who are graduating now are trying to tell you the lesson. Over half of the graduates are underemployed or working jobs. Now that never required a degree at all. Those jobs don't exist if your major is psychology, communications, anthropology or any of the new studies programs. Odds are, listen to this. Your degree will carry a negative return on investment. So in other words, you'll never pay that off. Never. You'll never make enough money to even break even on that education. Now maybe you're okay with being straddled with educational debt for the next 20 years. I'm not. I don't think a lot of people are. I know. Your parents are not. The system is going to tell you in four years. Don't worry, we'll pass that back. We'll pass that debt back onto the shoulders of who? They'll say the government. But it'll be your mom and dad again. So your mom and dad that paid through the nose for your elementary and your high school education then tried everything they could to help you through your college education. They're going to be saddled with the debt of your and everybody else's education. What kind of system is that? That is a con. This is the biggest con in our history. The house always seems to win here. You never do. Your parents never do. The other thing they'll convince you of is we. That's why we need violent revolution. No, we just simply need people like you saying I finally get it and I'm I'm not playing that game. I'm not gonna play that game anymore. If you do play the game, here's what's going to happen. You're going to send out resumes. Doors are not going to open. Many are going to double down with graduate school because maybe it'll get better later. Another con, throwing more time, more money after the bad because they can't admit to themselves this was bad. This has been a waste. That's human nature. Don't fall into that. Because here's the darker cost. In those years you spend in college, you won't just be spending your hard earned money and all of your hard earned time to what? Memorize facts that you'll promptly forget. You're going to be taught despair. You are going to be trained to believe the system is rigged and there is no hope but through destruction, violence and blame of other people. That's the education that the universities are actually selling and it is a lie. I urge you, don't buy it. Don't buy into it. Do not put a down payment on that. I want you to look at universities in a whole different way. Universities are, and I don't know if you can relate to this, universities are the record companies of the old world. Okay? In the day, in my day, record companies controlled who made it. They charged you, they owned you. They told you what to play. Then came something called Napster. Napster was going to put all of these companies out of business. But the record companies colluded with government and did everything they could to put it out of business and they thought they won. See, this is why there's a push for socialism and communism or anything like that. Because they need a big government to enforce for the oligarchs, that's what they need is only more and bigger government with harsher laws and thugs to enforce it can stop change. Or so they think. Because that's what they thought with Napster. But it didn't happen. They just got smarter. People just went, oh okay, well that's the law. That's the game you're going to play. We'll find a way around that. See, the business model for the record company was over, but everybody else just stayed in denial. The independence genie for the artist was out. Spotify was born and empowered the independent artists. And the, the power now is in the hands of people like Taylor Swift, in the hands of the creator. That's you. There is the creator, capital T, capital C. And then there's the creator you. That's the power of God. In you as an individual, you create the same way he creates. You think, you speak, you act. And it is New York City. I was just in New York City. Do you know those taxicab medallions that they have in New York City? It's a little. It's a little plate that they put on the hood of every taxicab to show this is an official New York City cab, you know, that pays their taxes, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's not a sham. Well, what is a sham are those taxi cab medallions. They were crazy for a while. They were selling for like a million dollars. You couldn't get enough of them because there's only a limited number of cabs, and the city got their money, and you could buy one of those medallions for a million bucks. And so somebody a long time ago who's in a working class could buy a medallion, and in the end, that. That would be their retirement. They could sell that and they'd have their retirement money. They could pay off their house or whatever. That was a way to wealth for a lot of people in the taxicab business in New York City. About 15 years ago, they were the price of 10 physical cabs. One cab, one plate for one cab. You could buy 10 physical cabs without the plate or the plate. Okay, million dollars plus. Then Uber came along about two years ago. There was an auction for these taxicab medallions. A couple of them sold for less than $200,000, and then the rest of them went unsold. No market. Why? Because you can't outthink the free market. They will find a way. Freedom always finds a way. And education is being democratized exactly the same way today. You can audit. You want to go to a great university, mit. Did you know you could get every class and audit every class at MIT for free? Why do you need a certificate from them? Why? They're giving you the knowledge for free without the sheepskin at the end. But you have all the knowledge, so you can. You can talk to anybody about whatever it is they're inventing and working on. You have the same access to knowledge for free. You can take Hillsdale courses, the Constitution, history, philosophy, civics, art. Free. You know, and if Harvard or Yale actually cared about fairness and equity and inclusion, you know what they do? They'd give their education online for free. They. They would just do it without a degree. But you could learn everything you needed to learn at Harvard, but they won't do it with an endowment that the size of. Of Harvard and Yale. They could make collegeable, affordable for almost any everyone by opening up campuses all over the United States, just paid for with the endowment, which still would have enough money to keep it going forever. They could open up campuses all over the country. Yale could do the same thing. They won't. BYU, BYU Provo, BYU Idaho, BYU Hawaii. What is it, like $5,000 a year to go? Because they're actually trying to educate people. You could follow their model and open free classes teaching actual skills all over the world. Like B O BYU does. All over the world. Free. But Harvard won't, Yale won't. Because they're not in that business. They don't practice what they preach. They're liars. Google does it. Google's job certificates cost less than a new iPhone and can land you work within six months. Did you know that apprenticeships let you earn while you learn real wages? You can make 50, 60, $70,000 within two years without a penny of debt with an apprenticeship. Yeah, but I'll never make it. Well, I don't know. Steve Jobs did. Bill Gates did, Mark Zuckerberg did. They all got out. They were all like, this is ridiculous. I don't know. I'm not the smartest guy in the room, but I'm okay. I've made a good deal of success, whatever, however you want to define that. I define that now with my family more than anything else. But I've had success. I've had failure. I know. They're both frauds. I didn't go to college. What, what, what is it that you're going to get? I'm sorry? Oh, a certificate that you could hang on the wall and nobody cares about. Let me get down to not letting a diploma define you, okay? Breaking out of that mindset. It's not just the billionaires. It is the leaders of tomorrow that are doing this. Charlie Kirk is one of them. But you could also look to. I mean, do you know how much a welder makes? Do you know how much a construction guy makes? Do you know how much an electrician makes? Like over $100,000, 120, $150,000. I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty good gig. Project manners, managers. But people don't want to do those jobs because they don't feel they're honorable. Why? Because, well, I didn't go to college. Who cares? What is your goal now? If those don't sound exciting to you, that's fine. Find your gift, let's say in AI prompting prompters are going to Be the unique key to AI, music producers, 3D animation while it lasts, artists, video game design, professional chef, photographer. Be a part of the thousands of young leaders who are choosing skills over slogans. Freedom over debt. Independence over indoctrination. Four years from now, you. You are going to face a very stark choice. You can hold a diploma that employers now check it out yourself, increasingly dismiss. Or you can hold cash in the bank, skills in your hands, freedom in your future. You can control it. Parents, let me say this to you. I'm telling you now. The future belongs to those who tailor their education, that learn on their own terms. Put knowledge into practice right away. I know you've worked a long time to save for college. Put that money into a house, down payment for your kids. You would be so much better to help your kids buy a house. Because higher education, one of the points of that is you're going to get a good job so you can have a home. A home. You can settle down and have children. Well, the golden ticket, higher education is no longer the ticket to home ownership. It's not. You have to throw away everything you think you know, because it's all changing. Reimagine re engineer. I don't know what's right for you. I don't. But that's the beauty of freedom. Neither do the colleges. You know what's right for you. And this is much bigger than success. The idea of fame and fortune, they are fleeting shadows that gave birth to the biggest lies. Clicks are important, likes are friends. Followers are equal to important. And success and money, it's garbage. It's all empty garbage. The definition of success, the way we wrote it, is being rewritten so you don't live in financial slavery, chained to loans for decades, or financial freedom, charting your life on your terms. Break free while you can, become who you were meant to be. And when the world looks back, it will be you. The generation that chose the independence over indoctrination. Who turned the the tide? I started classes at Hillsdale last night. Join me. Let me tell you about preborn. We don't get to choose when the biggest decisions show up. They don't always wait for a stable job or a supportive family or a quiet household with savings in the bank. Sometimes they come crashing through the door unannounced. Messy, complicated and very, very real. A woman facing an unplanned pregnancy. In that moment, it can feel like the world is collapsing inward. Especially if everyone in your life is saying, get rid of it. It's not really a baby. Get rid of it you have no chance of survival with a baby. This is where preborn steps in. Not with demands, not with just beating you over the head with scriptures. You're going to kill with compassion. They provide free ultrasounds offering a glimpse into the life that is already living inside of that mom and giving moms the space to see, to hear and to know before making a decision that they can never unmake. That's not about pressure. That's about being present in a culture that says, just get through this. Preborn believes in giving her a chance to truly see what is at stake. And everything changes with an ultrasound. Just $28 provides a life saving ultrasound. Go to preborn.com Becky preborn.com Beck or hit pound 250 and say the keyword baby. Pick up your phone, pound 250. Say the key word baby. Together we can end this tragedy one mother, one baby at a time. Sponsored by Preborn. Now back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're going to fill you in on what's happening in the United Nations. It's kind of a, kind of a roller coaster ride. The teleprompter went out on the president, not to be deterred. He just went on and talked about how he was disappointed in not getting the contract to build the United nations building because they would have had marble floors instead of what, Terrazzo. Which, okay, but at least it was walking on Terrazzo.
B
Do you know that? Do you realize that that's what he said to him?
A
I mean, it's so funny because I mean, you know, remember when the teleprompter went out for, for what's her face, she just stopped. Remember Kamala Harris? Oh, yeah, yeah. She just stopped. Like all of them stopped. He just like, let me tell you about the floors in this building.
B
He goes, you know, we were on an escalator and we were halfway up. It broke. It stopped. Luckily, Melania's in great shape. She was able. She didn't fall over. That was, that was the story he told from the Telegraph.
A
I just love it. I just love it.
B
It was fantastic.
A
Anyway, so we'll give you some more on that because he is saying some important stuff as well. But I want to go back to what we were talking about a minute ago and an offshoot of that. If you missed it, I'd like you to go over that with your family. If you were talking to anybody about college. I'll get more into that. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. But, you know, I said towards the end of that, that success is being redefined itself. Success has become, you know, the American dream was charting your own course. That was the American Dream. And then in the 1930s and 40s, the American dream became, you know, having a house and a white picket fence and a good job and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then it became even more distorted and it was like as you have to now have money and you have to have the right labels and, you know, I've got to drive a Beamer and whatever. Okay, none of that was success. That's not what America is supposed to be. America is supposed to be the place where you can chart your own course. You know, I want to say again, I so appreciate the left for agreeing with us. Finally, when yesterday they came out about Tylenol and said that, you know, they recommend that, you know, pregnant women don't take Tylenol, the left was like, hey, that's not your response. But you don't tell us what to take. And I'm like, thank you, thank you. I wish you would have been there in 2020, Covid, but thank you for understanding the role of the government. They can recommend whatever they want, but it doesn't. It doesn't mean I have to do it. So thank you for joining us on that. But everything has been distorted. You know, labels don't mean anything to the upcoming generation. They don't like logos, they don't like corporations. They don't like to be scammed. And yet it's strange because they're constantly being scammed by people who are saying, we're not scamming you, but let me go back to success. You will never do anything. You will never have greater success. There is no success more important than the success that you will have within the four walls of your own home. That's the only success in your entire life that will matter. Nothing else will matter. You will not truly be happy. You will not truly fill the full measure of happiness until you have found your spouse that completes you, your other half, and you are committed to them through thick and thin. And I know that's hard. I mean, I'm a divorce guy. I know that's hard. It took me. Took me twice, took me two times. And then when you have children, that success. And it's hard. And I think that's why it's so meaningful in the end, because it's the hardest thing I've ever done. But now you're being told marriage is old fashioned, having kids Isn't important. Kids are just a burden. No, kids are not a burden. Marriage is unbelievable. You're being told happiness comes from kids. You know, keep your options open. No, no. Yeah, I mean, if you don't keep your options open, you're not going to be able to chase those experiences. You got to have no commitments. No, no, no. You should be committed to a few things. Things. What if the greatest lie this generation is being told is that freedom means never being tied down? What if that's the biggest lie? Let me make a case. Do you know that the longest running human, the longest running study on human happiness is an 80 year old project done by Harvard? And they have come to one conclusion. What is happiness? What gets you to happiness? It's not money, it's not fame. It's not even if you have your health, you've got it. No, it's not even health. It's relationships. Stable, loving, long term relationships. The people who they have found over 80 years in this study, the ones that are the happiest, the ones who live the longest are the ones that made the scary choice to commit. Marriage isn't a chain. I hate. People say, I'll ball a chain. It's not a chain, it's an anchor. It anchors you to things that are true. It holds you steady when things are really stormy. I mean, we are living in a time where temporary jobs, you're going to have to retool every five years. Temporary housing, temporary situations. I mean marriage is really radical thing and it's the only place that you can say this is forever and mean it. Now. I hedged my bet. I told my wife, I'd like a prenup because I just gotten out of divorce, I'd like a prenup. And she said, nope, I'm done. And she started to walk out and I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What, what can we talk about? And she's like, no, there's nothing to talk about. If that's how you want to frame our marriage, if you want to start our marriage by negotiating an end, then you're not the gu. The guy I will marry will be the guy who will say, we're going to hit hard times and we are going to really struggle, but we are never giving up. I'll marry that man. I won't marry you with a prenup. She was right. It's a place you say forever and forever is what you actually are craving. Forever and then children. You think the world is dark. You think the future isn't worth much. Hold your child for the very first time. Look into their eyes. Your entire perspective changes. Everything changes. Suddenly the world isn't meaningless anymore. Suddenly I'm not anchorless. Now all of a sudden, I have something I have to do. Suddenly every sunrise matters because children drag you out of yourself, like it or not. Out of your phone, out of your anxiety. They force you to live something bigger. I've learned more lessons than I've ever taught my children. I have learned more lessons from my children. And every strong civilization was built on strong families. Rome, all of it. America. John Adams wrote, the foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. You want the government out of your business? Good. Then make your family eternal and private and moral. The collapse of a family is always the collapse of the civilization and the culture. So here's the truth. Families and marriage is not the end of your freedom. It is the beginning of your purpose. I know this to be true. Without that, without a serious relationship with somebody in your life that you're sharing your life with, it is just a series of disconnected moments. And I'm sorry if you are looking for a spouse. I'm sorry if you are on this path and you're like, I know all this, Glenn, you will find that person. Just don't give up. And if you are young, start looking. When you have a family, your life becomes a story. Your story passed down in little hands that carry your name into the future. You want rebellion. You want to be different from the culture that's addicted, lonely and lost. Then get married and have children and love deeply, Live ferociously, study endlessly. Question non stop. Because in the end, no video game, no TikTok trend, no paycheck is going to whisper back to you. I love you, dad. I love you, mom. That is happiness. That is legacy. That is successful. That is freedom. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Okay, so here is the latest and I want to strangely it's from Yahoo. News and I only say that because we're going to be talking about a Yahoo here in a minute. I think the French first lady Brigitte Macron it will prevent will present quote, photographic and scientific evidence in a US court to counter claims that she is a male. What scientific evidence would prove it? Because we've been told nothing proves that you are a woman. Nothing. It's a choice. So maybe she actually has a chromosomes but she's chosen now to be a woman. But she was choosing to be a man before. I don't know. I don't know, it's very complex. I'm not a biologist. I don't know. And photographic evidence, I mean, I don't want to dwell on this, but when you're looking at a picture, at least in my mind, it would sound a little like, oh, my gosh, take. Hello. Hello in there. Hello. I mean, I don't want to. I'm glad you didn't get that joke, Stu, because it's really sick. Really?
B
I'm sorry, I'm focused on something else. Go ahead.
A
Okay. Yeah, sure. So anyway, so I don't know what photographic evidence that would be. And you said to me earlier, maybe as a child. Well, that would be child porn.
B
No, I was not suggesting that you were put naked pictures of her as a child.
A
What kind of. What, What?
B
Pictures of her as a child doing female things and female clothes.
A
Boys can do that too.
B
Yeah, but they didn't really do much of that. And I would assume. Have you ever seen, 75 years ago.
A
Have you ever seen pictures of like, I don't know, the Vanderbilts or. Or even Winston Churchill? They used to dress little boys as girls. They used to do it all the time.
B
I don't know what kind of weird stuff. I know you were already begging for the Macron photos you wanted to see. So, like, I don't know what kind of tastes you.
A
Have me out of here. Help me. Let me out of here. I just, you know. Anyway.
B
No, I mean, I think the. I think. I think people. I could be wrong on this. Okay, the phrase I keep seeing use. Could you read it again?
A
Yes. Science will present photographic and scientific evidence.
B
I think. Now I could be wrong on this. Okay, but let me. Let me state my theory of this, of what's happening here. People are ignoring the word and here. Okay, so there are two categories. There is some scientific evidence of some origin. I don't know.
A
How dare you bring up chromosomes.
B
And there's photographic evidence, which is different. They're not scientific photos. Showing what you might. Yahoo News her. Yahoo News. They are. They're not going to show naked photos of Macron. I don't think anyone would show to the trial. I think the trial would have lower audience than Kimmel if that is what they were trying to do.
A
That's not possible. That's not possible. Even with naked pictures of the first lady of France? Not possible. I'd put that to the test. I say that's scientifically impossible.
B
I think what they're going to do is present photos again of her. No, no, no. Not naked photos. Stop why are you. Why do you keep going to that?
A
I mean even that doesn't prove anything because you can cut it off, tuck it in, whatever. I mean, I don't know what they. We have been told that it is all about your choice, your body parts. Nothing, nothing according to the left would prove that you're a woman. Nothing would.
B
Right. Well, they don't even know what it is.
A
Right.
B
There's no way to prove if you don't know unless you're of course a biologist, which somehow act seems even as indicate a biological association with gender, which is not supposed to, but whatever.
A
Right?
B
Yeah. So I don't.
A
Is it possible that. That Candace isn't going down some crazy town road on this? She's actually trying to prove the point. You just told us you can't prove a man or a woman.
B
Yeah.
A
What are you doing in court? You can't prove it.
B
I really do think this is fascinating. It could have actual effects here, right? Like in theory, if you can prove. If you could prove you're a woman by these types of things, then it.
A
All falls apart, doesn't it?
B
All fall apart.
A
All falls apart.
B
So I don't know.
A
Believe me, she's old enough. It's all falling apart long ago.
B
But I think the photos they're talking about though would make her in childhood as a little girl doing little girl things, which was again, even you could write today pretty common that people just randomly dress themselves, their kids up in different genders.
A
Some producers are pretty right? Now look up photos of, of paintings and photos of like Winston Churchill as a kid. I'm telling you, he. They dressed them, they, they would dress little boys in the day like girls. I don't know why, but they did.
B
But maybe they did it right.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Did she live basically her entire life as a girl? All indications are yes. Yeah, right. They're all indicated as far as I know. Again, I will say I have not.
A
Because he chose early.
B
I mean that's. I guess she has a right.
A
You're telling me that there's an age that she, she could have come out two years old and said I'm a girl.
B
Are you presenting the argument or an argument here? I think you're just arguing for no reason, arguing.
A
I am arguing their argument.
B
Yes, that is their argument. They will always come up with something.
A
And it will slip and slide no matter which way you want to go. They'll find it.
B
We also, I don't know, this whole gender thing sort of draws attention away from. I mean, you've talked about this, the history here between these two. Oh, it's is very strange, is it not?
A
No, no. She. Here's what she is. I think she's a woman. I can't believe I'm saying this. I think she's a woman. I think it's pretty clear she's a woman. An ugly woman, but she's a woman.
B
I will say though, like, there's a lot. There are women, women that are very tough. There are women that are women that kind of look manly, like man. Yeah, right.
A
That's true.
B
I don't even see her as. As an example of that. She just looks.
A
She leaves an enormous handprint on the side of his face. She does now that could be because he's so very small. Small. I'm not sure.
B
It could be.
A
Okay. But, you know, I, you know, she's. She's. Here's the thing. She's a child predator. That's what she is. She was a child predator. She wasn't into pedophilia. I don't remember what the actual. You should look this up.
B
I don't want to search for the.
A
Terms you're asking, but it's a. It's a. It's a weird thing because I saw it in some French news. Only in the French news would they have this. That's not to be confused with pedophilia. Pedophilia is this. It's, you know, underage, prepubescent. She likes post pubescent underage children. So she likes him like 13.
B
That was an itch. There's always a niche.
A
There's always a loophole too. So anyway, so that's what she was doing. And when his parents said, stop it. She was a 44 year old teacher, he was like 14. Imagine that. And she said, you will never stop our love. We love each other. And they're like, stay away from our son. They pulled him out of school, they moved across, you know, France to get away, and she still went back to him and he went back to her. So it's just a beautiful French love story, which the French should never be able to define love or. And apparently a woman.
B
But I've got some interesting traditions over there.
A
Yes, they do.
B
Apparently we have some as well. And so does the uk. Do we have. Is this Winston Chill as a child? Is that what we have? Yeah, There you go.
A
That's not the most feminine one of him.
B
You've looked at a lot of these photos, haven't you?
A
No, I've just been I. For some Reason? I don't remember what it was kind of rabbit hole.
B
Did you go down?
A
I know.
B
What kind of weird things are you doing? This is what happens when he's at the ranch too long. Get Internet out of that ranch. Who knows what this guy is searching for when he's up there by himself.
A
I was. I was in. I don't remember where I was. I was in some museum or some. Some like. Like, I don't know, the Vanderbilt house or something.
B
Sure.
A
And I saw this picture of this girl and I was like, which daughter is this? And they're like, no, that's Cornelius. And I'm like, the guy. Long hair, dress, whole thing, boots, you know, little button boots and stuff. And I'm like, what. What. What was happening in this family? Like, oh, no, that was just. That was the way it was. People didn't think pictures of little boys were cute, so they would dress them up. This is the explanation. I don't know if this part's true. They would dress them up as little girls because they thought little girls were cute. And they would have little pictures of little girls, but they were actually little boys, their sons on the wall. And it's like, okay, well, glad he didn't live in those days.
B
That's interesting. It says you were so interested in this, you did an on site visit to check it out.
A
It was. Look, look. The exhibit was called Little Boys Dressed as Little girls in the 1800s. What's wrong with that? That's weird. All of a sudden.
