Glenn Beck
So I had another revelation this weekend. It was a heavy dad learning weekend for me on so many levels. But Cheyenne, I've called her Lucy her whole life because when she was, I mean, she practically came out Lucille Ball. She has been funny her whole, I mean, hysterically funny and such like Lucy, so innocent in her comedy when she was young, she didn't know she was just funny. And. And then as she grew up, I sat there and I watched her, 4 years old, going to these ballet recitals where I just wanted to claw my eyes out. I couldn't take it. I just couldn't take it. And you know, she had, she had Russian ballet. There's this place that we live in, suburbs of Dallas, and there's this Russian ballet dancer and her Russian ballet dancer daughter that give lessons. Oh, if you want to have your kids come back with bloody feet, you know, they are very good at doing that. What do you mean your kids cannot come to. Okay, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. You're afraid the Russian mafia is going to come after you and at 4 or 5 the kids are like dead. The Russian mafia Is real. So she, you know, she went through this, and we'd go and watch these ballet performances, and I just wanted to claw my eyes out and. But I would watch her and her mom and I would sit, you know, towards the front, and we would just look at her, like, smile, smile. She was just so intense, and she's like, yeah, you smile. I. You. I've got the Russians behind me. Anyway, and then she got into musical theater and everything else. And this weekend was her last performance at this local community theater. And she was one of the Bowery Boys in. What's that called? Oh, shoot. I saw it four times this weekend and now I can't remember. No. Oh, it'll come to me. Anyway, so she was in this. This show, and I watched her the whole time. I went four times and I watched her the whole time. And she did not lose focus or drop character once. And every moment, she was giving it 100%. And it was amazing to watch 100%. And she was just so accurate with every move, and she was amazing to watch. At least I'm. I know you've got kids, too, so, you know, give me a second just to brag on my daughter for just a second. And I thought, I can't wait to see her. I wish in this show she had the starring role. And she did, too. But she got over it that day, and she was like, it's going to take me a day to mourn. It's good to take a moment just to mourn for what could have been. And then I move on. And she did amazing. At intermission, at two of the shows, two parents came up to me and said, I want you to know the difference your daughter made in our son or daughter's life, because it's a community theater and it focuses on kids. And one of them said, our son was just. Didn't feel like he belonged there and got a role and couldn't do it and was worried that he just was going to look stupid and not fit. And he was sitting out at a curb and he was wanting mom and dad to come pick him up. And they said, you, daughter came out and sat on the curb and said, I know how you feel, and just talk to this kid. And they said, two parents, the pivotal moment in their life, I think, is going to involve your daughter, because it totally changed their perspective. Somebody else said pretty much the same thing. This kid had to hit a high A, and he was having a hard time. He couldn't hit it. And Cheyenne just took him and said, you can do this. You are blocking yourself from doing it. You're afraid of that note. You can hit that note. Just hit that note. Just stop thinking about it. Just hit the note. I know you can hit that note. You know you can hit that note. Hit the note. And he hit the note, and it was amazing. And his parents came up and said same thing. And I'm listening to them, and you know me well enough to know, just tears running down my cheeks. And I thought, honor. I wish I would have known what I knew then from those parents, because I wanted to bring her honor cords, you know, for graduation. You know, they always have honor chords. And this is not graduation, but this was her last performance with this group. And I so wanted to bring her on her chords because I thought, she's graduated with honors. She's not. She wasn't the lead role or anything else. She found a way. And I don't think she views it this way at all because it's just who she is. I am more proud of her for what she's done. I mean, she was on stage and in character. She saw one of the kids, they had their shoe untied, and it's a lot of dancing. And in character, she kneeled down to tie the kid's shoe. I mean, she was constant. She's constantly like that. She gets it from her mother. And I think sometimes to turn this around to us when we are so set on our outcome, Our outcome is to be the lead. Our outcome is to do this, that we miss the moment and we miss what's more important. There's only one lead in a show. Every show, show of life, there's a lead. You may not be the lead. So what are you doing? What are you doing? Are you complaining that you're not the lead? And I mean this. In every situation, it's not just, you know, whatever. It's every situation is the role of support even more important than maybe the lead? Because the lead gets all the applause. But the ones that make the real difference are the ones behind that support, that one. And that doesn't normally get the accolades, which makes me think, why are you doing things that you're doing? If you want the credit, you'll get the credit here, and then good luck upstairs, where if you're doing it just because it's right, or in her case, it's just who you are, what a great accomplishment that is. And maybe nobody notices, maybe no one notices. But how game changing can each of us be? Quietly, it goes back to not wanting Outcomes, I think. I don't know if any of this makes sense to you, but maybe someday it will. Maybe you're not that place in your life. Does this relate to you with your kids and where you. I mean, because you're behind me about 10 years.
- [10:11]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, for sure. You think about this stuff all the time as a parent. You attempt to have an impact that's positive and you have no idea whether you're doing it or not. And you don't know whether you're supposed to care about what the reaction is or not.
- [10:29]
Glenn Beck
That is the. That's the part that's getting me is like, I care about the reaction. And I'm like, you selfish sob. What? It's not about you. You're like, yeah, but yes, it is. No, it's not. No, it's not.
- [10:43]
Stu Burguiere
Well, it kind of is. Right. You try to. It's about every. Every person has self interest. That's not. That's not. There's nothing wrong with that. You want those things to align ideally. Right. And that's a good way for them to align.
- [10:58]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [10:58]
Stu Burguiere
You're doing a good job, hopefully for your kids and that they appreciate it. And wouldn't that be wonderful?
- [11:02]
Glenn Beck
Do you think our grandparents thought like this?
- [11:07]
Stu Burguiere
Probably not, but I don't know. I mean, our grandparents did some things that were absolutely incredible. I think maybe we've figured out some things too from that experience that maybe has improved it. I think there's ups and downs from that.
- [11:20]
Glenn Beck
It's just, you know, because I was thinking, you know, one of the problems that we have with the youth. We were talking about this earlier today about when you get married, how. What were you talking about?
- [11:30]
Stu Burguiere
It's a really interesting new study that just came out about marriage rates. And there's that typical thing that everyone says, oh, you know, 50% of people, marriages end in divorce. And what, what they're finding now is that that is just a really outdated statistic. There was a time where that was true, but it is no longer true. In fact, the people who are getting married most recently, which. The decade of the 2000 and tens, where they have any research on this, it's trending. The rates of parents or of families staying together are better than every decade since the 50s. Only the 50s has a better rate of staying together every other decade. We are outperforming them. Now, people that have been married in the 2000s, 2010s, and there's a bunch of different. There's a really interesting argument. There's. Between what the reasoning for that is. And how you should think of marriage, which is part of the reason why that's true, is that researchers believe because people are getting married later and they're not necessarily going into marriages really early, and then maybe marrying a high school sweetheart and realizing that wasn't the right thing for them long term, and those led to more divorces. Where now people, it's this, they call it the foundation versus capstone debate. So is marriage a foundation of your life that you get into early and it's the entire building block, or is a capstone where you go through, you have a bunch of life experiences, maybe build a career, do things that you maybe are more frivolous early in your 20s, and you get past them and then you get to a place where now I'm really thinking about that and I want to settle down and get married and have kids. And the way of that sort of debate between them, there are positives on both sides of it. I don't think it's an easy answer. I do think I was a better dad in my late 30s than I would have been in my early 20s.
- [13:25]
Glenn Beck
Oh, I was.
- [13:26]
Stu Burguiere
But you went through at both times.
- [13:29]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I went through both. And I was. However, I don't think that it is that you have to wait to get married. I personally, I'd like to go the other way. Have you met the next generation? Have you spent well? You. Yes, you have. They're living in your house, a couple of them. The, the new generation is different. They're just different. The, the 15 to 25 year olds, there's a real difference in that group. They're more responsible, they're less whiny about things, they understand things in a deeper, different way. It's really remarkable.
- [14:12]
Stu Burguiere
That's interesting because I think, you know, the, the standard critique of now, it was always about millennials, which, when you're talking 15 to 25, you're below. You're in Gen Z there. But the, the typical complaint was that they were whining about everything.
- [14:25]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, and, and here's the, and here's the interesting thing. I think that it's not that, it's not that our, you know, we got to wait to get married till you're 30. No, you should. I'm really turning on this whole, you got to be out in playtime when you're 13. Why, why playtime? I get playtime. And playtime is important throughout your life. But shouldn't we expect more from our kids than playtime? I mean, when you go back in history and you see what kids, what kids accomplished, what life was like and how they went out and they were interning or they were not interning, they were, you know, being shepherded apprentice. You know, when they're 12 and 13, we don't expect as much from our kids. And maybe one of the things we have to do is start expecting more from our kids. Maybe we need to be, you know, you need to grow, you need to grow up a little bit, you know, still enjoy your life as a kid and everything else. But, I mean, why, why do we know, why do we talk to a kid at 13 or 15 the way we talk to them when they're 10 and expect the same things? Why, why don't we expect them to be, I mean, you know, bar mitzvahs, how old do you have to be for the 13? That's when you become a man who thinks of 13 year olds as becoming a man. And yet I see people who are homeschooled and they, and they have been, you know, they work out on a farm or something with their parents and they're expected to do it just like we were expected to do it when we were kids. And then we, I guess maybe my generation was like, you know, I don't know, maybe we should, you know, I want them to be kids and have that childhood. Well, maybe, maybe we're screwing that up now that we say kids are kids until 26. I heard one, I heard one group now scientifically say, oh, you know what? Adolescence ends when you're 30. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. You know, I read something over the weekend from Dietrich Bonhoeffer. You don't remember who Dietrich Bonhoeffer was? He is. He was a pastor. He was a Lutheran pastor in Germany. He was a pacifist. He, you know, talked about peace, peace, peace forever and taught peace. And then it got to a place and I think it was 1942 or 43. He was like, this has got to stop. And so he threw his hat in with, with Valkyrie, which is that Tom Cruise movie. And before the movie, it was an actual event, but. And he was caught and thrown in jail. And he wasn't executed. And he was kind of executed kind of by mistake in the end because he died 15 days, I think, before Hitler died, killed himself. And they were just executing everybody in this one prison. But he wasn't supposed to be in that prison. But that's a difference story. He has written some of the most beautiful things in prison. I mean, his understanding of marriage, and he was never marriage, had a love of his life outside of prison. And he was like, we can't forget me, forget me, forget me, forget me. And he wrote a sermon for his sister's wedding that understands marriage in such beautiful ways. And he's writing this stuff while he's at the end. He's writing some stuff where he is just beautiful Christ like stuff. And in the cell with him is the guy who was doing experiments on the Jews, you know, for medical research, and then, you know, shared it with the world. And Hitler was like, we're not trying to save the world, we're trying to save Germans. So he went into the execution camp and. And next to him was a woman who was like a prostitute, and she had become a double spy, a double agent. So these two are doing vile things to each other with him in the same cell, and he's writing this beautiful spiritual stuff. He is an amazing guy, but he. He tries to. He was trying to figure out, I think, the same thing that we're going through. And I think the same thing that in some ways both sides think they're going through, because both sides are saying to themselves, I can't even talk to these people. I can't even talk to these people. They don't even listen. They have no. They have no clue what's wrong with these people. Right. I talked to somebody over the weekend who is really, really well informed, really well informed, stays up with it all the time, and asked me, what do you think is really happening with the Epstein stuff? And I thought, wow, here's somebody really informed that is still there. So much stuff has happened in the last three weeks. But that's my job. My job is to be on top of this every day. It's not your job. And even if you are paying attention every day, you only pay attention or you try to stay alert, but you've got other things to do with your life. And. And then there are the people who are just tuning out, and they're just like, I don't. I. And I was there this morning. I read this piece, you know, our CIA director was on Maria Bartolomo this weekend, and she was. And he was saying, you know, some big stuff is coming this week and it's got them dead to rights and they're going to go to jail. And I thought, aha, sure. And I caught myself saying that. And I thought, why, if I feel that way, what is the average listener feel? You gotta feel that way, right? I mean, don't we all? Like, yeah, I've seen this movie before, and just like Charlie Brown, we line the football up every time. No, this time she's gonna kick it, or this time I'm gonna kick it and she's gonna. She's not gonna pull it away at the last minute. Uh, yeah, every time. Every time. How do we break through to people? Listen to what Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote. Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. Stupidity, not evil, is the greater threat. Not because it's more powerful, but because stupidity is unreachable. You can expose evil, you can argue with it, you can shine a light on it, you can resist it. But stupidity just doesn't respond. It doesn't engage. It just is and it spreads. So what did he mean by that? He didn't mean a lack of intelligence. In fact, some of the. The stupidest people he encountered were in Germany, were very highly educated. Some were university professors. Right. In our own life, they're university professors. You're like, are you stupid? What is wrong with you? What he's talking about is moral failure. It's a willful surrender of independent thought, a kind of intellectual cowardice that allows propaganda and group think to take over and become the root, like cancer. Okay, you may have thought at some point, but you really have stopped now. I want to make this very clear. This is on both sides. This is on both sides. I have seen people on our side that you talk to and you're like, no, that's not true. And they immediately just. The eyes glaze over and you're like, oh, boy, they're not there anymore. Bonhoeffer called it a psychological problem. It emerges in groups and crowds and movements. Listen to this. People hand over their discernment not because they're dumb, but because they choose not to think. They let slogans replace ideas. They let ideology replace truth. How much has that happened? Where ideology. But that's not true. You're basing this all on lies. It's not true. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter because they've surrendered thought. Same thing with slogans. I mean, if I hear, you know, global warming is our World War Three one more time, I think I'm going to. I'm going to lose my mind. No, that. Look, everything you say, all the scientists agree. No, they don't. No, they don't. Have you looked into it yourself? No, but all the scientists agree. No, they don't. Their eyes glaze over. They think you're wrong. They won't even look into it. No matter what you show them, they will not look at it. And if they do, they're reading it to figure out a way to find the way. They're right and you're wrong. They've surrendered entirely to whatever it is they serve. We don't. When we ask. Don't you see what's happening? Don't you see it? The things that you said would never, ever happen. The things you told me were conspiracy theories. The things you said. That's not true at all. It's happening right in front of you right now. Right now. Don't you see it? The inversion of morality. When. When did you decide it was okay to have transsexual strippers perform in front of children? Because that's been wrong since the dawn of man. If I went back 10 years with you, you and I proposed that, you would have said, that's outrageous. But now it's happening, and you think it's good. Can you tell me the thoughts that brought you there? No. You're a bigot. You're just a bigot. Why do you hate. Transgender is not. What are you talking about? I want to understand you. Can you take me from where you were in 2015 to where you are today? Show me the building of this ideology that you now have. Love is love. That's not. That's. That's a slogan. You're not arguing anymore with people who disagree. You're not even arguing people who are wrong. You are now confronting someone who has abdicated the responsibility of thought themselves. I mean, it's. They're no longer thinking. And again, I want to make this clear. This is not just a disease on the left. The right has it, too. You must not surrender thinking. Listen to this. Bonhoeffer described it this way. The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. And he saw it firsthand. The German people, they were good people. They were churchgoing people. They allowed the Nazi machine to rise, not because they all hated Jews or they wanted war, but because they refused to think. We were just talking about the starvation in Gaza. Think that one through. Think it through. Uh, you're. You're protesting for the Gazans. You're protesting for the Palestinians. And you're gay, and you're marching with your gay, transvestite, lesbian group. They'll kill all of you. Think it through. But here's what happens. The stupid again. On both sides. The stupid, emotionally and spiritually get swept up in something bigger than themselves. This is our World War II. They get swept up. You want to be on the wrong side of history or the right side of history. Save the earth. It's much bigger than just you. And like an offering, they hand their minds and their thinking over to the One. And they become uncritical. They become certain of things they've. They're actually not certain of. They're certain of things they never themselves examined. They just stopped thinking. It's not ignorance. It's not even misinformation. It's not even ideology. It's stupidity. And I think this is why most of us feel so exhausted. Because you know, you speak the truth, you lay out the facts, you plead, you'd listen. You're like no, no, no. But no, you have to read this. And nothing moves. It's like there's a giant barricade and it is. And nothing's going to take that barricade down. Nothing. Because they have an emotional alliance to an idea or a tribe that they chose. Again, both sides, they chose it and they absorbed it. And now they've been conditioned to feel certainty. And so they know everything. And you're wrong. No matter what you present to me, you're wrong. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. So Stu, when I see you communist living conditions, what do you think of?
- [29:08]
Stu Burguiere
I think of empty store shelves.
- [29:12]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [29:13]
Stu Burguiere
I think of gulags and.
- [29:17]
Glenn Beck
But you also think everybody's paying their fair share. Oh no, he's getting rich, right? Nobody's getting rich.
- [29:22]
Stu Burguiere
That's definitely not what I think of. But, but that's the, the promise.
- [29:26]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, okay. Of it. Right. So when I say Uganda, what do you think of.
- [29:34]
Stu Burguiere
Uganda?
- [29:35]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [29:36]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, not a ton.
- [29:38]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right. I, I think comes to mind whether it's about it. Y. Whether it is, you know, whether it's true or not. I think poverty, I think Africa poverty.
- [29:49]
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
- [29:50]
Glenn Beck
Gun, you know, war, you know, gun lords, you know, drug lords, warlords, that kind of stuff. Right. Well, Mamdani Zoran Mandami, the candidate who is a communist, remember what you thought of communism, went to his home in Uganda. I remember what you were thinking about Uganda. And it's a compound. Now listen to this story, this from the New York Post. Socialist New York City mayor or mayoral frontrunners on Mondami celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish three day affair at his family's rich, ritzy, secluded Ugandan compound, complete with mass security guards and a cell phone jamming system. The gates of the bustling private compound which sits in the wealthy Bazooka Hill outside of the capital city of Kampala were heavily guarded by military style massmen this week, with guests streaming in and partying until midnight, according to sources who wish to remain anonymous. The home is set back from the road and sits on two acres of lush gardens surrounded by trees, has breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Victoria and features the least at least three security gates. This week it was transformed into a party pad with Christmas lights strung through the canopy of trees in the garden, a music blaring, sources said. On Tuesday, buses, several Mercedes and Range Rovers were seen driving into the compound Outside the Mondami house there were more than 20 Special Forces Command unit guards, some en masse. There was a phone jamming system set up, all for the strictly private invite only Mamdani event. One gate had nine guards stationed on it. Mamdani's parents, Nair, 67, and her husband Mahmoud Mamdani, 78, an anti Israel political theorist, lived on the estate but also split their time between New York and New Delhi. On Friday, inside the compound there were military style tents being taken down as the party had finished. Blah blah blah. The property is isolated enough that some locals weren't even aware of the three day wedding extravaganza. Local children have been watching Mom Dani on TV and everyone was talking about him but not about the wedding. For us it was just about survival. For us, this is a person. For us it's just about survival. We're trying to win the bread and make sure our family's okay. We had heard that Mom Donnie was going to be mayor of New York and he had made it over to America. We want to know if we can get free visas in the US and to travel to New York like he did. While the Mamdani family celebrated, neighbors were in mourning for a former, you know, Supreme Court justice in Uganda who had lived a stone's throw away from the Momdani place and he had died July 14. The president also came to pay his respects for the dead. The street was blocked by the president's cars, a local said. Some found Mamdani's wedding bash insensitive because the culture here it is insensitive to have a wedding celebration in the same week as a mourning. People are still mourning, blah blah blah blah blah. He has not even been buried and we have friends coming to give last words to mourn before the burial next week. Yet Mandami is celebrating his wedding for three days now. This is actually what I think of when I think of communism. Here's A guy saying, you know what? We got to help the poor, we got to help the poor. How much is enough? And yet his family has a place in New York, New Delhi and Uganda. And it looks like a war. A warlord palace, honestly. It's got razor wire just to keep what out? The poor. The poor starving. That said, we are just trying to put food on our table while they're partying for three days and the Mercedes going through. That's exactly what I think of when I think of communism. This is. I mean, this is everything you need to know. Communists believe their life is okay, just like everybody who is taking a private jet over to some save the Earth con conference, but their fuel is okay. Bernie Sanders riding. Riding a private jet but calling for socialism, redistribution of wealth. When asked about his extra 25 trips just in the last month or so, he said, what? Do you expect someone like me to be in line at United? Uh, yeah. Yeah, I. I expect to see someone especially like you in line at United. Why is it bad for everyone else but you? Oh, I know. Because you are important. You have something you have to get across to the people so you don't have to live by the rules you want everyone else to live by. Do as I say, not as I do. That never works. That never ever works because the children learn they're not doing it. Why should I? If you're not leading this life, you know you want to be. You know you want to be a communist, that's fine. But I would hope that you're poor. I would hope that you're planning on being poor. I. I'm hoping that even if you're paid $400,000 a year, that you're planning on giving it away and you're only going to live on $80,000 a year because you want to take the 400,000 minus the 80 and give it away to people who don't have enough. Right? Isn't that right? Or are you special in some way or another? Let me give you another story kind of in the same vein. This from the Washington Post. Affluent voters have become more Democratic in recent years. There are also some of the biggest winners in the GOP tax bill. Affluent voters have become more Democratic in recent years. What does that say? The rich are going to the Democratic Party. Why? Because they sense redistribution of wealth is coming and so they better be on the right side. Kimberly Hoover has been the most Michelin star restaurants in the east and West Coast. She and her wife, millionaires from the real estate firms, own homes in or near New York City, Washington, Miami, Quebec. They their lives are filled with skiing, fine wine and long trips to Europe. Hoover's accountant estimates the new tax law that President Donald Trump signed this month will save her several million dollars over the next few years. While many Americans might rejoice at that kind of windfall, Hoover worked hard to stop it become becoming a reality, arguing to lawmakers that she's made more money than she needs. At some point it just starts to feel wrong. It starts to feel excessive, it starts to feel somehow inappropriate. Well then good, then give it away. Why idiot takes money and say I have all this money and so I want to give it to the people. I think it feels wrong and so I'm going to give it to a charity that takes 60% of that money and wastes it. So only 40% of that money is actually going to things I care about. Nobody does that. Nobody does that. And by the way, Hoover, you can do whatever you want with your money. You want to pay more? Let me give you this. Venmo and PayPal now have a link right to the Treasury Department. Their Treasury Department is now expecting accepting Venmo and PayPal payments from those who want to donate money to reduce the national debt. $36.7 trillion for all of those billionaires that just feel like they've paid not enough money pay down the national debt. And if all of those billionaires did give millions and millions and millions, hundreds of millions of dollars to pay down the debt, it wouldn't change anything. The national debt wouldn't change. You wouldn't even touch it with all of your money. Give all of it. It won't touch it. It's that insignificant. But if you really cared about the country and you know why people won't give to the national debt? Because a, they won't see it make a difference. And more importantly, why would I pay down the national debt? They'll just keep spending more. Why? Why should I pay taxes when they are wasting that money? Do you know how much good a charity can do? A charity that's run right 95 cents on every dollar goes to what it says. And strangely not to some leftist organization that is teaching people how to protest in the streets. You know how much good that would do you care about Medicare and Medicaid? Take your hundreds of millions of dollars and find a way to get that money to people who don't have insurance. It would be much better than waiting around for the tax rate to be raised on you to force you to pay it to the government. Where they will waste 60 plus percent. They don't actually, they don't care. They don't care. That's not true, by the way. Npr, I told you this last week. So they were, they were cut by 550 million. Hey, Hoover. 550 million. You got hundreds of millions of dollars. Why don't you take care of this one? You won't. $550 million lapsed in federal grants. Oh my gosh, Big Bird, it's going to starve to death. He's going to be in Gaza starving with all the little children. It's going to be horrible. Horrendous. You want to see a skinny big Bird? No, but that's what's going to happen because the federal government's no longer going to pay for Big Bird. So they have 550 million. They have, they have raised in the last two weeks $20 million. 20 out of 550. Now that's actually more than I thought that would come in. But that's just from rich liberals who say we've got to do something. Well, great. $550 million. That should be nothing to people who have hundreds of millions of dollars. It should be nothing. Pay it. Pay it. But you know what happens? Next year you're gonna have to pay another 550 million. And then the, the third year, another 550 million. You gonna keep paying that? No, you can't. You'll be bankrupt. Oh, well, that's why it has to be on the people. No, the people are already bankrupt. They're already bankrupt. They don't have that. They don't have it. But if you really truly believed that this was the most important 550 million, I would tell you 800 million would have already been raised. If you actually believe that Big Bird was going to starve and that our educational system is going to completely fall apart without PBS and npr, that no truth is ever going to get out in any way, shape or form unless we use old fashioned networks to do it. There'd be, there'd be a billion dollars in the coffer already. But you got 20 million. Because none of you people believe it. That's what none of you believe it. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.
