A
Get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know. You're listening to the Tom Woods Show.

B
Hey, everybody, Tom woods here, episode 2755 of the Tom woods show with the great judge Andrew Napolitano, who needs no introduction, but I will remind you that he is the host of Judging Freedom, one of the most popular podcasts on earth. You know, people talk about this one and that one and the other one, but meanwhile, beneath the surface, there's Judge Napolitano putting out one banger after another, racking up zillions of views. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Judge, we have limited time together. I want to ask you, first of all, you were kind of a, let's just say, a victim of Trump's irascible personality kind of early on. Like you had had a good relationship with him, and then all of a sudden, he didn't really care for you, and he was, you know, a little bit nasty. And I think the way a lot of us thought was, we all know he's got this crazy personality, and maybe on some level there's something wrong with him. But on the other hand, we felt like the way he dishes it out to the media, they deserve it, and the way he dished it out to the Bush family, they deserve. Maybe you do need a slightly crazy guy to do that, and maybe we can tolerate that. He does things that we would never encourage our own children to grow up to, aspire to do. And he says and does things that we would be mortified if our own family members did them. Okay, but maybe we need a bull in a china shop like that. But now, Judge, you've observed him behaving toward other people the way he did toward you. Do you think that more people are just kind of figuring out that, well, okay, maybe this is more than we bargained for in the personality department. Or do you think that he's actually gotten in a way more manic? Is there, like, a qualitative change in him, even since your interactions with him?

C
Well, Tom, it's always a pleasure to be on with you, my dear friends, and congratulations on all your success and on your new son, which, of course, makes me very happy because I'm a close friend of your family. I think the president is incapable of critical thinking. I think he is a severe narcissist. I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm a lawyer and a constitutional scholar. But his behavior is so profoundly irrational. Portraying himself as Jesus, being critical of The Pope claiming the Pope is in favor of nuclear weapons. These things are not even worthy of belief, nor if you read our friend Peggy Noonan, even worthy of response with respect to his official behavior. It's been just as bad. There is no moral, legal or constitutional justification for the aggressive brutality he and Netanyahu have visited on Iran. This is Israel's war. This is a war for Israel's greater expansion. And the United States has become a mercenary, except this US Dollars that are paying the Israelis to wage the war and the Americans to be there and the American munitions to be dropped. So the President's behavior is profoundly different from what he promised it would be, is totally irrational and it's whimsical because he'll say one thing and mean the other. Just last night he said, oh, Iran has agreed to. This was Saturday night. Iran has agreed to work with us in excavating from the caves their nuclear enriched material and we will together dig it out and remove it. This, of course, is utterly, utterly preposterous. Oh, we're in the middle of negotiation. They won't mind if we steal one of their ships. It's a thousand foot long cargo ship worth a fortune and we stole it on the high seas. And as we speak, J.D. vance and his two monitors, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are cooling their heels in Islamabad and the Iranian negotiators are in Tehran with no plans to leave. All because of the President's irrational behavior, threatening language, profane use of words, and lack of credibility.
- [04:22]
B
When some of the President's supporters hear people like you talk like that, their only conclusion is that you must be some kind of a wimp who isn't a tough guy like the President. What we need is a tough guy. And I think that's not what's going on here. I mean, when I think about your speeches that you would give, let's say at cpac, for instance, all those years ago, when we were there together, you were the real tough guy because you actually stood absolutely immovable, devoted to certain ideas that this is what's right and that's what's wrong. And you know, as Luther would have said, here I stand, I could do no other. You know, whereas this is like, for example, for example, I've got the recording at the end of 2024 or just before the election, I've got the recording of the President saying, we're going to bring house prices down, we're going to bring them way down, like 40, 50%. And it's because there's over regulation and we're going to clear that out. And now, you know, Judge's attitude toward that, which is, ah, that bores everybody who cares about house prices. And plus I need my boomer constituency to keep their house prices up so they can be house rich. So the only way I'm going to help people get houses is make it easier for them to borrow more money. I'm not going to bring the prices of the house down. I'll make it easier for them to borrow the money for the house. Like that kind of thing going on. That's not, nor like that's not a tough guy.
- [05:46]
C
Well, the last train is last week in Nevada. Speaking to a lot of blue collar people, he said, I don't worry about gas prices. Don't worry about gas prices. $1.25 a gallon more than it was two months ago is a killer to many people in this country, particularly if you drive a vehicle for a living. But he's obviously a different person when Netanyahu can talk him into doing things that are the opposite of what he promised. No foreign wars, no wars of regime change. We'll kidnap the president Maduro, President Venezuela in the middle of the night will decapitate the Iranian regime. It'll only take 96 hours. I know it because Bibi told me so. He of course, didn't say that. And I'm mimicking what he probably whispered to his inner sanctum. He is either totally enamored with the persuasive skills of the Israeli prime minister or terrified that they have something on him.
- [06:49]
B
Well, he does have this very recent truth social post in which he takes this head. This must be driving him crazy that people are accusing him of being in the tank for another world leader. He says, israel never talked me into the war with Iran. The results of October 7th added to my lifelong opinion that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon did. And then he says the polls are all wrong, implying that the polls saying that nobody wanted the war. Those must be all wrong. And incidentally, it is possible to hold the opinion that you don't want Iran or for that matter any other country to have a nuclear weapon. That does not necessarily mean you, you launch this war. Those things are, are and can be separate. But he did try to address that. So it must be getting under his skin. Now, if I may ask you, judge, a question that might, I don't know, might be a little bit odd. But back in your days on Fox News, surely you knew that everybody around you, I mean, with maybe an isolated muted exception here and there. Everybody was an Israel partisan. Everybody. Was that also you? And did you go through a transformation since then? Have you changed your mind like Colonel McGregor? I think kind of moved a little bit on this subject. Was that you too?
- [08:04]
C
No, it was not me. But I rarely discussed geopolitics on Fox News. I mainly discussed the Constitution, in which I was harshly critical of some of the things that President Trump did and discussed federal law. But I have often regarded, and for as long as I can remember, Israel as a criminal apartheid state, which is what it is, that believes it can kill anyone and steal their land. The issue was not as sharp when I was at Fox as it is now, either because I wasn't paying attention and it didn't bother me or because they weren't fighting wars or the US Was not fighting their wars. But now I believe that the US War in Iraq was for Israel and the US War in Afghanistan was for Israel. I now believe that all the wars we fought in the Middle east were for Israel.

You know, I agree with you about it wasn't as sharp. It wasn't that you just weren't perceiving it. I think back to even what, three years ago. I think about some of the people, some of the, let's say, opinion molders on a platform like Twitter X, whom I would be very glad to invite on the show and that I did invite on the show and we had perfectly cordial conversations. And I feel like now because of this divide on the right, I'm not sure that's possible or desirable for some of these people because now it's like if you don't toe the line on this one thing, we can just chuck in the garbage every other good thing you've ever done. Because this is the one question that really matters. That's really come into sharp focus. That's what I'm saying.
- [10:36]
C
Well, there are a lot of people who believe that way. On the other hand, Trump has lost a tremendous amount of support, even from his own people, on this war alone, because of his direct promise never to engage in wars of regime change, with no exception, no asterisk, no footnote for. Except if Israel wants it. He was pretty clear about that. He must have known that he would be beholden financially to the Zionist lobby at the time he made those statements. I guess he thought, I can talk Iran into something. Look, Iran signed the jcpoa. Iran permits nuclear inspections. The inspectors, American and otherwise, all said Iran has not been working on a nuclear weapon since 2003 and doesn't have the ability to develop one. Israel did not sign the jcpoa, has nuclear weapons, has threatened to use them, and permits no inspection. How could those opposites possibly exist?
- [11:41]
B
Yeah, well, when I look at my own feed, you know, if I look at my social media feeds maybe 18 months ago, I don't think you'd find one post out of a hundred having anything to do with Israel. So it's not like this is my obsession. You know, they. They accuse you of being obsessed with Israel if you talk about it a lot. But I talk about it a lot because it's the key thing right now, in the same way that I talked about COVID a lot when that was the key thing.
- [12:06]
C
Right.
- [12:06]
B
As I say, if you look at my feed 18 months ago, I don't think you would see anything related to Israel. But now I feel like it would be wrong of me and basically impossible for me not to talk about it. But on the Trump question, in that post that I read to you later on, in that post, he again talks about that there's been regime change in Iran, because of course, he did say that that's something he wanted. And then they claimed, well, we never said that. We never made that a goal of the war. But he still keeps hanging on with this, and he's trying to claim that because there's a new leader now, that's regime change. In fact, he's even used the phrase total and complete regime change. I think total, complete regime change would mean the overthrow of the Islamic revolution, which we clearly have not had. And then he says, if they're smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future. And a lot of people have said, does Israel want there to be a great and prosperous Iran?
- [13:03]
C
Oh, no. Israel wants Iran to end up like Syria, divided into a half dozen unfriendly neighboring countries so that Israel can control any single one of them. You know, the President is a confabulist, a person who in his own mind is not lying. He honestly believes this stuff, even though it's divorced, totally divorced from reality. There may be a change in personnel because the Israelis, using American intelligence, murdered the Ayatollah the first day of the war and murdered a bunch of his colleagues at the same time. Time that didn't produce regime change. If anything, the regime is a little more hardcore now than it was a few months ago. And as for Israel, it really wasn't even that much on my radar screen before October 7th. I realized that Gaza was an open air concentration camp, but there weren't slaughtering people as they have been doing since October 7th. So to say that one is fixated on Israel is probably a criticism because they don't like what we're saying. But we have to talk about it because it's profoundly immoral, has resulted in the deaths of innocence, and it's been financed by the American taxpayer.
- [14:18]
B
Who would you say this will be an easy one, Judge? Who would you say are the people who. Well, I'll put it this way. If people watch your old network, Fox News about this subject of what's been happening in Iran, they're going to be completely misinformed, right? They're going to have no idea what's going on in the world. So the question, therefore is who would be sources they should listen to more consistently than Fox News? Like who are the individuals out there who have consistently the best insights?
- [14:48]
C
Well, the three or four first rate people I can think of are Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, whom the Israelis hate because he wrote a book exposing the power of the Zionist lobby. Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, who was the military advisor to Ron Paul when he ran for president and then actually was in the Defense Department for about a year and a half during President Trump's first term and Trump never took his advice. And Scott Ritter, who was the chief UN Weapons inspector. These four are all profoundly anti war, very articulate about it. I would add to the group Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, once a neocon, when he was the chief of Staff for Colin Powell, when General Powell was the Secretary of State, now a zealous figure in the anti war movement and very, very articulate and with a career in the military and able to explain how these military things work. Those are the five people that folks looking for should listen to. You can add Larry Johnson, whose background is Both in intel, CIA and US Military. When I was at Fox, all of them were on fox. None of them. Of course, I'm not there anymore because nothing to do with me. None of them is on FOX now because they don't articulate the management ideology.
- [16:24]
B
Now, Pete Hegseth, he came out of fox. Was he there when you were there?
- [16:28]
C
Listen, I knew Pete very well. Small world. Pete is a graduate of Princeton. His best friend at Princeton is the son of one of my best friends from Princeton. So we are a generation apart. The Pete Hegseth I knew was a happy, pleasant, at times frivolous, fun loving individual. Still very handsome, obviously, and a decent host on Fox News. I never knew the bellicose, over the top Protestant, vicious, voracious attitude that he has manifested since he's been the Secretary of State and calling himself the Secretary of War. I don't think he's going to last much longer. I think Trump will fire him and blame the loss in Iran to poor planning. And the planning's been terrible. How could they not have planned for the closure of Hormuz? How could they not have planned for the destruction of American bases in the Gulf? How could they not have planned for the serious degrading of Tel Aviv? They must have known that these things were going to happen. The only reason they didn't plan for them is they believed Netanyahu who told them it'll be over in 96 hours when the Ayatollah and his people are overthrown by the crowds in the streets. I didn't mean to get away from Hegseth. Hegseth has really turned my stomach with his. I don't want to say false because I don't know what he truly believes, but his efforts to use a sort of Protestant religiosity to pray for the destruction of human beings.
- [18:07]
B
Well, I can't help mentioning because you mentioned Protestant. Now I want to mention something Catholic, obviously. You know, we've, there's been a lot of talk about the President's interactions with Pope Leo. And one of my points that I've been making, maybe you'll agree with me on this, Judge, is that unfortunately, I mean, I was rather partial to Pope Benedict xvi, you know, the one.
- [18:28]
C
Same here, the one they had canonized more so than to John Paul ii. Benedict was a gift.
- [18:34]
B
Yeah, he was. And he did great things. He could have done more, but he did, did some good things. But he's not, let's say, as fashionable as a Pope Francis who says everything they want him to say. And so what's happened is because of Francis, who was so predictably politically leftist, and now Pope Leo, you know, contemplating a block of ice because of global warming. That doesn't help. And so the problem is now, because it looks like the papacy as an institution is in the tank for the left, which is. I can't even believe I'm saying those words. That should be impossible when he comes along and says something that happens to be true. He's undermined himself with everybody on the right already. So they just think, well, he's a liberal, of course he's against the war, but he's actually correct in this case.
- [19:19]
C
Yes, he is correct in this case, because the just war theory presumes a war of defense, and this is not a war of defense. Iran didn't attack the United States and is incapable of attacking the United States. My stomach has been turned. Listen, I am not a big fan of Pope Leo's. When his name was announced, I was here at Newsmax and a bunch of us were watching the announcement, and I heard the cardinal say Robert, and my knees buckled because I thought it was Robert Cardinal Seurat. In which case. In which case, communion rails would have been reinstalled and we'd all be saying the Latin Mass, but it was this other Robert. And everybody turned to me and said, judge, who is that? I said, believe it or not, he's in America. Well, they're saying he's from Peru. Yeah, but he's from Chicago. He's an American. He's, you know, he's a middle of the road guy. You know, one of your heroes, and mine is about to be beatified in St. Louis in three months. Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Venerable Fulton Sheen. Who is Leo sending to preside over the beatification? Not Raymond Leo. Cardinal Burke, the lion of orthodoxy and former archbishop of St. Louis.
- [20:33]
B
Is it. Is it Cupich?
- [20:35]
C
Worse. Cardinal Fernandez, the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It's got a new name now. Good Lord. Sheen's gonna jump out of the casket and say, get out of here. On the other hand, last month he had a meeting of all the French bishops, and he said, be generous with the traditional Latin Mass. His word. Generous.
- [21:01]
B
Yeah.
- [21:02]
C
So he, you know, he swings on both sides. He happens to be right on this. Those who say the Pope and the Church should not speak on these matters are absolutely dead wrong. The Pope has a duty to speak on moral matters, and he knows that, and he can't be intimidated.
- [21:19]
B
Yeah. It's just if they really need a clean house, though, in Their own best backyard. There's so much that needs to be done. But yeah, I mean, with this particular pope, when he said that he didn't want to be divisive, I thought then you're not the man for this particular moment, are you?
- [21:34]
C
Correct. Correct. I mean, the job of the papacy is to challenge the world, and that is in inherently divisive.
- [21:42]
B
Last couple minutes we have. What do you make of this complete nonentity they've put up against Thomas Massie? A non entity. He won't show up for debates. Nobody knows what he believes. He won't go on any long form interviews except Bongino. I would be embarrassed to support somebody like that.
- [22:00]
C
I think they're going to lose. Thomas Massie is a lion of orthodoxy. He is the most faithful to the constitution and diverse principles. And the entire Congress rant pulls a close second. When Pope Francis addressed a joint session of Congress, I had a ticket right in front of the Pope. He was making eye contact with me in the gallery behind him, I could see Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, and he's mouthing to me, how did you get that seat? That ticket was given to me by a Methodist member of Congress by the name of Thomas Massie. Even if he hadn't given me that seat, that ticket, I would do all in my power that's legal and moral and ethical to help bring about his reelection. He is the rock of orthodoxy that the Congress needs. I mean, how is he doing in the polls?
- [22:50]
B
Do we know he's ahead by single digits? I want him to be ahead by huge double digits because I want a message sent that you didn't even come close. Even with your whatever, millions of dollars.
- [23:03]
C
Oh, Mrs. Adelson, I think put in $20 million. $20 million in a primary.
- [23:08]
B
Yeah.
- [23:09]
C
For a congressional district. Unheard of.
- [23:11]
B
Yeah. And they wasted it on a non entity. Anyway, Judge Napolitano, host of Judging Freedom, I'm gonna let you go. Thanks a million for being here.
- [23:19]
C
Thank you, Tom. You know, I admire you and have for many years. I admire your family and I admire your work. God love you, my friend.
- [23:27]
B

All right, so as long as the judge made that nice comment about our family and in fact the judge is the godfather to Sarah, who is our 12 year old. Let me close with a word about kiddos, especially since many of you know, and the judge mentioned it, that I have a four month old son, Henry, who by the way will be a special guest aboard the last of the cruises. I'm going to be hosting for quite a while, so hurry over to tomwoodscruise.com and book passage with me. Well, at any rate, a few weeks ago your friend, I guess it's Sunny Hostin or something like that, she's one of the women on the View. Well, she was at it again. Now I think the last and possibly only time I ever wrote or spoke about her was back during COVID she was calling the governor of Florida death Santis. And she was one of those, you know, and we could go over this and spend a lot of time on it, but let it suffice to say that Florida's excess death rate throughout Covid was better than California's. So why would you say that? I don't know. But don't ask her about any of that, though, because she also said, and this is an exact quote, I like Gavin Newsome because he's really pretty to look at. Okay, well, she's obviously not entitled to an opinion on anything, but there she is on national television, and I'm here on the Tom Woods Show. All right, well, all the same, let's not dwell on the injustice involved in that. And by the way, by the way, who can forget when Sunny Hostin, I guess that's how you say her name. I don't know. She's a proponent of reparations for slavery. Who can forget that moment when she discovered while on a PBS program that she was herself descended from slaveholders in Spain? Well, now she's told the world. And these are his. Her exact words. I think it's really reckless to be suggesting that people have children. Those are her words. And she's saying because of the affordability crisis right now. And she went on to say that you need $400,000 for childcare, by which, let's be charitable, I assume she means you need to earn $400,000 a year to be able to afford child care. Not that you need $400,000 for child care, per se. Now, we'll get to that child care claim in a minute. But by her standard, there has never been a good time in human history to have children. And yet here we all are. Now, the average American family today enjoys indoor plumbing, repair, refrigeration, smartphones, cars, and grocery stores stocked with food from around the globe. Infant mortality is a fraction of what it was even in the 1950s. Now, I'm not trying to be one of these boomers. I'm Gen X. By the way, I'm not a boomer who says, hey, why don't you just suck it up and work the way I did when I bought a house at your age, or why don't you go to Starbucks fewer times? Or this or that, or cancel your Netflix subscription. I am not one of those people. I'm not saying that. But the fact is that when you look through all of human history, people lacked comforts that you and I basically could not live without. Could not live without and yet not only did they live without them, they managed to raise children without them anyway. So at some level we have to make a decision here. If of, quote, affordability in absolute terms is the test, then even the 19th century, the relatively recent 19th century, would have been an impossible time to have children since virtually none of the comforts practically everyone demands today were available at any price, affordable or not. Even during the Great Depression, the United States did not see birth rates at the current below replacement level, 1.7 total fertility rate. Now the affordability crisis is almost entirely self inflicted. I don't mean you and I inflicted it on ourselves. I mean the regime inflicted it on us. So in other words, we could get out from under it if we took certain steps that of course the savages who are in charge will never take. It could be at the very least substantially mitigated by repealing bad policy and or reining in the Federal Reserve. That's certainly true of housing. We've talked about that on the Tom Wood Show. You can go back and listen to our episode with Brian Kaplan, who went through and explained how you could get rid of 50% of housing prices by undoing just bad policy. And with regard to child care, you would be flabbergasted at the regulatory thicket surrounding child care and who's allowed to do what. And all of which makes care more expensive but better than, quote, child care. And I warn you, I warn you folks, those of you with delicate ears might want to block them. I'm about to say the unsayable. Even better than child care is for the mother to stay home with the children. And when we look at the numbers, it's not even like child care is really all that big of a solution, because we can look at data from around the United States. Full time child care at a center, an official childcare center for one infant or toddler is at $10,000 to $15,000 annually in many areas. Sometimes 8 to 16% or more of median family income for one child, far higher as a share for lower earners. For two kids, costs can hit $20,000, sometimes even $28,000 and above. Then after taxes, commuting, work clothes, meals out, and the second earner's foregone home production like meals, cleaning, etc. The net addition to household resources from formal childcare shrinks dramatically, sometimes to just a few thousand dollars a year, or even negative once you factor in the effects of tax policy. So the point is not that it's super easy to raise children today or that there Aren't real difficulties and challenges involved? The point is this. If people raise children without electricity, without modern sanitation, without modern transportation, and with zero financial cushion to speak of, we can do it, too, if we're serious and work hard at it. Now, Sonny says it's reckless to encourage people to have children. What's reckless is discouraging childbirth at a time of catastrophically falling birth rates, which is a problem that leads to a long list of subsidiary problems for civilization itself. So don't listen to the ghouls who would urge you to postpone or bypass one of the great things about being alive. Sit down and figure out how to make it work. Because if you can't make it work in 2026, nobody could ever have made it work. And they did, for that matter. Join my school of life. If there's anyone on earth who can help you navigate 2026, it's those people. Just go to 11freebies.com, spell it out. E L E V E N 11freebies.com. I give you 11 things for free, for just trying out the school of life for a buck. And you'll love it. You'll absolutely love it. All my best people are in there. So 11freebies.com, you want every one of those freebies, and you can have them for just giving it a chance and you'll love it. So 11freebies.com is the website waiting for the perfect time is a recipe for permanent postponement. There will always be reasons not to do it. And incidentally, a guy I know mostly from Facebook said some time ago that it was because I gave that advice. I don't know if it was in a speech or it could well have been in a Facebook post that he sat down and thought, that's probably right. I probably will keep finding excuses not to do it. And they went ahead and did it, and they're happier than ever. And he's thanked me for that. So, you know, I'm not saying there won't be challenges. And when there are, I don't want you cursing my name. But overall, you'll say this was a good decision. Look, those reasons that you think you can't do it squarely in the face, though, and decide, are these real or are these phantoms? And then go ahead and do what civilization needs and what you need, whether you know it or not. So let me end with this. As you know, I have a print newsletter I send out every month because it's the opposite of what everyone else does. I also have my email newsletter, you know, that you can get it at the very, very, very, very, very, very top of tomwoods.com but a print newsletter is pretty badass in digital 2026. Nobody's doing that. Your mailbox is lonely nowadays. Nobody's sending you anything in your mailbox. How about getting some fresh new content that you've never seen anywhere else? Not in my emails, not on the podcast, not anywhere in a physical print form that you can sit in your recliner and read and enjoy and you're not looking at a godforsaken screen for once in your life. How about that? You know, why don't we buck these trends now and again, right? Well, I've got it. It's called the Tom Woods Elite Letter. What else would I call it? And it comes in your mailbox. Well, for my print newsletter some time ago I interviewed my eldest daughter Regina, who is a couple of months from now about to turn 23. But this was around the time she just turned 21. It was around Father's Day. And so, I don't know, I was a little bit sentimental. And Regina's a beautiful soul and I think you'll enjoy our conversation. I was interviewing her about, you know, her life and what it was like growing up in our household and what her interests are and things like that. And I hope our conversation makes it even clearer what a gift having children is. So I never make material from the print newsletter available online. Never. That is exclusively for people who support the show and subscribe to that newsletter. But I made an exception here because that beautiful soul deserves to be known by all the world. So I put that little interview between Regina and me up@tomwoods.com regina that's R E G I N A tom woods.com regina so go check that out now. By the way, as long as I have everybody's attention here, the Philadelphia Murder Mystery Dinner party is sold out. We still have some seats available for the Denver murder mystery party and I've just added another murder mystery party for San Diego, California. So if you would like to attend one of those, it's a wonderful evening out with like minded people in your area. You can get the details@woods mystery.com and if you don't live near one of those cities and you wouldn't want to travel to one of them, then you can sign up to be notified when I add additional cities. But you'll also like the little Sherlock Holmes themed little video I have there. It's about a minute video explaining how the murder mystery dinner parties work. You don't have to know how to do anything. Everything will be explained to you that night. There are no actors involved. There's no cheeseball. Nothing. It's all of us. All of us. The dinner attendees are all the suspects, and any one of us could be the killer. And I've set it up so that I, the host, don't even know who the killer is or who the victim's going to be. So I can play right alongside you. So they're tremendous fun. So check it out woods mystery.com and I'll see you next time.
