Choosing a bottled Starbucks Frappuccino drink that's all flavor in just 100 calories?

Easy.

Choosing between creamy vanilla, double chocolate, and sea salt caramel flavors?

A little harder.

Try the delicious new Starbucks Frappuccino light drinks.

Look for them wherever you buy groceries.

Start with Starbucks Coffee.

On today's podcast, we talk a little bit about fatherhood and living in the moment.

Also, Bonhoeffer's warning against stupidity.

Amazing story.

And why don't the rich liberals enjoy having the money that they made?

Or did they?

All on today's podcast.

Now, let's get to work.

You're listening to the best of the Blandbeck program.

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 life.

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

then as she grew up, I sat there and I watched her at four 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 Russian ballet.

There's this place that we live in, one of the 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, no, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

You're afraid the Russian mafia is going to come after you.

And at four or five, the kids are like, dad, 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'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.

I now can't remember.

No.

Oh,

it'll come to me.

Anyway, so she was in 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.

She was amazing to watch.

At least 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, you know, that day.

And she was like, it's going to take me a day to, you know, mourn.

It's good to take a moment just to mourn for, you know, what could have been.

And then I move on.

And she did.

And she went amazing.

And

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

just didn't feel like he belonged and got a role and couldn't do it and was worried that he just was going to look stupid and not fit in.

And he was sitting out at a curb and he was, you know, wanting mom and dad to come pick him up.

And

they said, your 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 cords.

And this is not graduation, but this was her last performance with this group.

And

I so wanted to bring her honor cords

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 backstage.

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.

You know, 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?

Then 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 you know, why are you doing things that you're doing?

You know if you want the credit you'll get the credit here and then you know 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.

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.

You don't know whether you're supposed to care about what the reaction is or not.

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.

And you're like, yeah, but yes, it is.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

Well, it kind of is, right?

You're trying 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, right?

You're doing a good job, hopefully, for your kids, and that they appreciate it.

And wouldn't that be wonderful?

Do you think our grandparents thought like this?

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.

Yeah, there's ups and downs from that.

It's just, you know, I'm 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.

What were you talking about?

There'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 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 is the decade of the 2010s, where they have any

research on this, it's trending.

The rates of parents or of families divorcing 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.

You know, people that have been married in the 2000s, 2010s.

And there's a bunch of different, there's a really interesting argument there 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.

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 like where found marriage is marriage a foundation of your life that you get into early and it's the entire building block or is it 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, 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 at my late 30s than I would have been in my early 20s.

Oh, I was.

But

you went through it both times.

Yeah, Yeah, I went through both and I was.

However, 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, yes, you have.

They're living in your house.

A couple of them.

The new generation is different.

They're just different.

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.

That's interesting.

Because I think 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 typical complaint was that they were whining about everything.

Well, and here's the interesting thing.

I think that it's not that

it's not that

we got to wait to get married till you're 30.

No, you should.

I'm really turning on this whole, you know, 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, they were not interning, they were,

you know, being shepherded, apprenticed,

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 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 don't we expect them to be, I mean, you know,

bomitzvas.

How old do you have to be?

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 have been, you know, they might 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 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 Glenbeck program.

You know, I read something over the weekend from Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

You don't remember who Dietrich Bonhoeffer was.

He was a pastor.

He was a Lutheran pastor in Germany.

He was a pacifist.

He talked about peace, peace, peace forever and

taught peace.

And then

it got to a place in, I think it was 1942 or 43, he was like, this has got to stop.

And so he threw his hat in with Valkyrie, which is that Tom Cruise movie.

Before the movie, it was an actual event.

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 different story.

He has written some of the most beautiful things in prison.

I mean, his understanding of marriage, and he was never married, 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 next to him was a woman who was like a prostitute and she had become a double spy, a double agent.

So these two were 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 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 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

then there are the people who are just tuning out and they're just like,

and I was there this morning.

I read this piece, you know,

our CIA director was on Maria Bartoomo 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, uh-huh, sure.

And I caught myself saying that.

And I thought, why, if I feel that way, what does the average listener feel?

You got to 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 going to kick it.

Or this time I'm going to kick it.

And

she's not going to pull it away at the last minute.

Yeah.

Every time.

Every time.

How do we break through to people?

Listen to what Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote.

Stupidity is more dangerous.

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 stupidest people he encountered 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 groupthink 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 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.

It 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 III one more time, I think 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 would 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 transgenderism?

No, I.

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 a slogan.

You're not arguing anymore with people who disagree.

You're not even arguing with 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 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 church-going 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.

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.

Sue, when I say you,

communist living conditions.

What do you think of?

I think of empty store shelves.

I think of

gulags.

But you also think everybody's paying their fair share.

Oh,

nobody's getting rich, right?

Nobody's getting rich.

That's definitely not what I think of.

But that's the promise of it, right?

Right.

So when I say Uganda, what do you think of?

Uganda.

Yeah.

I mean,

not a ton.

Yeah.

I think what comes to mind is that.

Whether it's about it.

Yeah.

So whether it is, you know, whether it's true or not, I think poverty.

I think Africa.

Poverty.

Okay.

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 is from the New York Post.

Socialist New York City mayor or mayoral frontrunner Zoran Mandami celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish three-day affair at his family's 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 Bazuga Hill

outside of the capital city of Kampala, were heavily guarded by military-style mass men 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

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 source has 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 in masks, 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 had been watching Momdani 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 Momdani 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 U.S.

and to travel to New York like he did.

While the Mamdani family celebrated, neighbors were in mourning for a former Supreme Court justice in Uganda who had lives a stone's throw away from the Mamdani place and he had died July 14th.

The president also came to pay his respects for the dead.

The street was blocked by the president's cars, the locals 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 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 conference, but their fuel is okay.

Bernie Sanders,

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?

Yeah.

Yeah.

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'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 $80,000 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.

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 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?

What kind of

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

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?

Do 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 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 is 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 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 going to have to pay another $550 million.

And then the third year, another $550 million.

You're going to 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 believed that Big Bird was going to starve and that our educational system is going to completely fall apart without PBS and NPR, that no 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 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.
