Today

is a sad day, quite honestly.

The day I return, the day I come back,

Stu is mocking old people

and a senator, quite frankly, who said,

in his words, not mine, Jill Brenn looks like Witchie Pooh from H.R.

Puff and stuff.

And he said, only old people will understand that.

It goes downhill from there.

You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.

First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.

The sad and ugly truth is that no one, not even President Trump and his incoming administration, can protect you and your family from ever,

you know, for always being safe.

You know, there are emergency situations that are going to arise, and how many times do we have to learn that lesson watching other people get hit?

If you think the crisis, whatever it is, won't hit you, you're mistaken.

And food is almost always the first casualty.

Everybody needs it, and as soon as things get scary, panic buying sets in.

Always be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do.

We still live in crazy times, and you and your family could need it.

The best place to get it is MyPatriot Supply.

MyPatriotSupply.com with 2,000 calories per day, 100% of your daily value, and 12 essential vitamins and minerals.

This kit keeps you going when every meal matters.

You're listening to the best of the blend back program.

Let me go into first

what is happening in California.

The fires are still burning.

And, you know, good for them.

Good for them.

Meanwhile, we have Newsom

talking about his Marshall plan to rebuild Los Angeles.

And let's go cut three there, please.

Over the course of the next several years, Los Angeles will be host to the World Cup and then the Super Bowl and then the Olympics.

With this rebuilding effort

needing to take place, is LA going to be ready for all of those global events?

All that opportunity and that pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues, but also the opportunity, I think, to rebuild at the same time.

And that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan.

We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA 2.0, and we're making sure everyone's included, not just the folks on the coast people here that were ravaged by this disaster.

You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan for the rebuilding of California.

What is that Marshall Plan for?

Tell us about this Marshall Plan.

We're just starting to lay out.

I mean, we're still fighting these fires.

So we're already talking to city leaders, we're already talking to civic leaders, we're already talking to business leaders and nonprofits, we're talking to labor leaders.

We're starting to organize how we can put together a collection of individuals on philanthropy for recovery, how we can organize the region, how we can make sure that we are seeking federal assistance for the Olympics more broadly, but also federal assistance for the recovery efforts, and how we can galvanize the community.

Okay, so I'm glad he's talking about the future.

This brings us to

Mike Johnson, something that I haven't talked about, had a chance to talk about yet.

He wants to put some restrictions.

His aid proposal for California is that he's trying to put conditions on the aid set sent to California.

And people are saying, that's insane.

You don't do that.

Where is your compassion?

I'm going to talk to you about how compassion is sometimes difficult.

Compassion, true compassion, is sometimes the hardest thing to muster

because you want to give

until you can't give anymore.

You want to help.

You want to be there.

But you have an alcoholic in California.

California is the political system.

is an alcoholic

and it is destroying the entire state.

And you don't say when an alcoholic is suddenly, you know, in the hospital or, you know, really, really down and, you know, out on the streets, you know what?

I'm going to give you all the money you need to get back into your house.

Because the alcoholic will spend that and just end up in the same place, if not worse.

Sometimes you have to have tough love.

You know this with your family.

Any kind of aid that goes to California, I think it is only responsible to aid the people as quickly as possible.

Aid the

homeowners as quickly as possible.

Help them make sure that they have a place to go.

Make sure that they, you know, like

the government wasn't doing.

in North Carolina, making sure that they have hotel rooms for as long as they need them within reason.

Now, within reason, many of these people are wildly wealthy.

Some are

very poor.

There needs to be some understanding that the wildly wealthy, you know, we're not going to put you up at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

That's just the way it is.

Sorry.

But we're going to help the people.

But when it comes to the state, if they cannot admit that this is not climate change,

that this happened because of their policies, if they cannot admit that, they shouldn't get a dime.

I'm a taxpayer.

I want to help California, just like I want to help all the other states when they have a problem that they cannot handle, that is too big for their state.

But they took all of their resources.

And honestly, you could make the case.

I'm not, but you could make the case.

This was intentional sabotage.

Now,

I want to tell you about

the threefold problem in California as I see it.

There are three things that are happening in California: one, the Santa Ana winds, low humidity,

and

uncleared brush always causes fires.

Always.

They are known to cause fires.

They have been known throughout history.

Do you know why the great redwoods and the sequoias have grown for a thousand years?

Do you know how those trees got so big?

They're in California.

How is that possible?

How have they not been wiped out by fire?

We've got to protect the sequoias.

Do we?

Do you know that the the sap in sequoias is fire retardant?

That's why they can grow for a thousand years.

God gave them,

God knew, there'd be fires in California.

Those trees have fire retardant as part of their life's blood.

That's why they haven't burned down over and over and over again.

Normal trees don't have that.

That's why fires burn all the time.

And if you don't have regular maintenance on your forests and on your property, you are going to have a brush fire.

And a brush fire turns into a forest fire.

And if you add 75 to 100 mile an hour winds, you could burn down the entire state.

Except it seems for the sequoias and the redwoods.

what this government of California has done

has stopped people in the name of

the good of the forest and the good of the land is to deny science they have been denying science for decades they have been playing God for over a century

They want to tell you that a woman can be a man and a man can be a woman and a man can have a baby.

That's not true.

That's denying science.

To say that we can prevent the forest fires is a lie.

That is as arrogant as saying we can change the weather.

Now, don't think our government and governments all over the world aren't trying to change the weather, but let me ask you honestly.

How do you think that's going to work out in the end?

How do you think cloud seeding

and putting gases and different things up into the atmosphere or giant shades in space to block the Sun how do you think that's going to work out in the end

well

or will it end the same way our arrogance always ends

there are things that we can do to mitigate natural occurrences.

For instance,

if you were,

let's say you got on December 2nd, can we get that

weather warning up from the National Weather Service?

It's January 2nd.

Next Tuesday through Thursday, January 7th through the 9th, a chance of moderate to strong Santa Ana winds.

This is

from the National Weather Service.

Ready, set, go.

Ready4Wildfire.org.

Impacts.

Extreme fire growth.

Behavior possible if a fire starts and power outages.

Use extra caution with potential fire sources.

Now this was added the week before the fires.

Now, that's the National Weather Service.

giving a warning to the people of California.

You can bet that government agency let other government agencies know at the same time.

It just didn't go out to your house.

It went out to everybody's house.

It went to the firehouses.

It went to the governor's house.

It went to the mayor's house.

They knew in advance.

So let me ask you, in a non-progressive state, what would somebody like Ron DeSantis do?

What do we do for hurricanes?

Hurricanes are like fires in California.

You know you're going to have them every single year.

Am I wrong?

Okay.

If you have them and you get a warning one is potentially coming that could be record-setting, what do you do?

Well, I'll tell you what a non-progressive state like Florida with a governor who is is embracing reality

what he does is he pre-positions all of the utility trucks.

He pre-positions all of the life-saving trucks.

He makes sure that we have plenty of chainsaws.

He makes sure that the state is ready and literally waiting.

So what should Gavin Newsom have done when he got that warning?

a hundred-year warning of a fire.

He should have said,

make sure sure all the reservoirs are full.

Make sure that we have all of the fire trucks positioned.

Put them in the high-risk areas.

Just let them sit there.

Have the firemen sit there in really dangerous areas.

Make sure that if you see a fire or smoke, that thing is out right away.

You can't get up these hills with fire equipment quickly if you've ever been to California.

It's honestly like navigating the Appalachia.

It's like going to North Carolina.

Why were so many people trapped?

Because it's impossible to navigate those hills and those mountains quickly.

The same thing in California.

Did they do that?

No.

Did they make sure that they had things in advance?

No.

What is the one given if you're living in California?

What is the one thing that you know is going to happen in California besides political insanity?

You know there's a chance of an earthquake.

So what do you do?

You build your building stronger, right?

You know that there's a chance of a mudslide.

So what do you do?

You make sure that you have your foundations deep.

But then you also, when you buy it, know I'm gambling here.

My house could slide down the side of this mountain.

You're charged extra for insurance.

But the one thing you know is going to happen every year is fire.

Why wouldn't California be the number one

fire ready and resistant area in the United States?

Let me tell you about Jace Medical.

It's kind of been a terrifying past several months, at least when it comes to summer

blockbuster level disasters from wildfires to hurricanes, sea to shining sea.

we've witnessed the danger that nature and mismanagement can bring how many times last year and this year so far have people been stranded without access to medications that they might need that doesn't have to be your family or you because you know about it and hopefully you have the Jace case by now it is a simple reliable emergency supply of life-saving medications to put to control into your hands there's no way to prepare for literally every single thing that can go wrong, but there's lots of ways to prepare for everything you know could go wrong.

The Jace case is a must-have for that.

This isn't about fear, it's about responsibility.

Being prepared, California, is the best way to protect your family and your future.

Don't wait for the next headline to wake you up.

Don't wait for the government to do the right thing.

You do it.

Go to jace.com, enter the promo code Beck, make sure you have the right meds on hand the moment you need them.

That's jace.com promo code Beck.

Now back to the podcast.

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

As the gods of the have copybook headings limp up to explain once more that fire will certainly burn us

and water will wet us.

They could learn that in California.

We have Brian Fennessy.

He is the Orange County California fire chief

to tell us a little about what's going on and how is Orange County doing, Brian?

Welcome to the program.

Thank you very much.

You know, a little bit about the fires just across a few miles from here in LA.

They're they're not spreading as they were.

I think both are kind of at a stable position, but there's certainly a lot of heat

in those and on those fires.

And the new wind event, albeit not, you know, 80 miles an hour, 100 mile an hour gusts, are still very concerning.

So those fires are going to be wind tested.

Here in Orange County, it's just howling.

It's blowing hard.

It was last week, and I think we here dodged a bullet, but we're expecting that for another couple days.

And I'm told there might be another Santa Ana wind event forecasted for next week.

We sure

we can't stand much more.

Brian, this is totally predictable.

Was it not?

Totally predictable.

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

You know, when I started back in 1978, we'd usually have a few days' notice.

You know, meteorology is not what it is today.

We start to get notified about 10 days out, and then confidence builds at seven days.

And then when you're about four days out, we're pretty sure

what's going to expect.

So, yes, forecasting and predicting is far better than it's ever been.

So what should have been done in those four days before the fire broke out?

Well, I'll tell you what was done.

And, you know, we have a program called pre-positioning that about six years ago, the fire chiefs in the state got the state of California to fund, to put money behind this pre-positioning, meaning that if we go through a matrix, you know, county by county and we meet certain criteria,

I mean, there's a number of things.

We are approved for pre-position funding, which means I can bring on additional aircraft additional uh bulldozers engines and the state will pay for them so that not only are all my stations filled and ready to go but i might have two or three more strike teams strike teams five engines i might have additional helicopters dispatch staff so

all of the southern california counties were approved for pre-positioning and so we had you know definitely extra resources available uh should they be needed and and certainly they were deployed very, very quickly.

So, but that's Orange County.

No, no, that's every county.

That's every county in the state is eligible for it, but each county has to go through this matrix to meet it.

And so I don't know for sure, but I would expect that Santa Barbara County South were all approved for pre-positioned funding.

And quite frankly, Here in Orange County, and when I was the fire chief in San Diego City, we didn't wait for pre-positioning.

If this weather was going to surface, we're going to staff up, and if we go over budget, we go over budget.

You know, our job is to protect our communities, and the mayor I worked for at the time understood that.

So it's nice to be reimbursed for it, but that's not a necessity.

We're going to staff up even beyond what the state approves if we believe we need to do that.

Yeah.

So as we're watching this from Texas and all around the country,

it seems as though it was, A, known that it was going to happen.

This is routine.

You expect the Santa Ana wins every year.

You expect forest fires and brush fires in California every year.

So this was just one of the really bad ones.

Then it seems like incompetence of cutting the funding for the fire agencies, not really truly being prepared.

And then on top of it, it seems incompetence to a level that is almost criminal.

And then the third part of this, as we see it, as I see it, is there might be some actors after the main fire started that are also,

you know, setting fires.

What their motives are are yet unknown, but there are also some arsonists involved in that.

Do I have that picture right?

You know,

partially.

Well, and maybe totally.

I don't know for sure, but I will tell you this, that, you know, I've lived in, I grew up in Altadena, and that's one of the towns that's pretty well wiped out.

And so, you know, when you live that close to the foothills, you're used to Santa Ana winds.

You know they're coming, and they can be brutal right there in the foothills.

And it's not uncommon for a strong, we'd consider a strong Santa Ana to be 40, 50 mile an hour winds steady with gusts maybe to 60, 70.

The event that was experienced last week, and you know this, was

60-70

steady, the gust to 900.

Something like that.

I mean, we have a hard time dealing with

the the former something like that you know we're trying to to manage expectations is is we can't stop that fire and i think you know many times um you know the public well let me put it this way if this were a hurricane or tornado firefighters aren't stopping those either right and so why but they pre but they do pre-position you look you look at florida

they've got the trucks lined up before that thing even comes ashore yep they're the best and you know they get disaster declarations in advance and they get things moving.

Right.

Florida is an amazing model and Texas is a good model as well.

But in terms of, you know,

I can't speak for LA City.

I don't know what they pre-positioned or upstaffed.

But I've said it to a number of people.

They could have had another

thousand engines and we weren't going to stop this fire.

Now, having said that, once the winds diminished and the fire, you know, this was no longer a wildland fire.

This became an urban conflagration, house-to-house spread.

The fuel was the structures.

And so, you know, once the wind diminished to a point where, you know, firefighters could get in there and start working on the structures, there were just so many.

I mean, I drove those fires and it was, and I've been doing this since 1978.

I couldn't believe.

the structures, the businesses that were burning so far from the mountain that it came off of.

I mean,

it was even incredible for me.

In terms of the water, you know, I think that's being sorted out.

I'm probably hearing the same things that you are, that reservoirs, you know, may not have been as filled as they needed to be.

Yes, a draw on the system can cause some decrease in pressure, but I've never heard of anything where there actually wasn't pressure.

I do know, and I've shared this with people, that in 2003 in San Diego, we had, at the time, the largest fire in California history we lost pressure but that was because pump houses pump stations had been burned and we didn't know they existed had we known we'd have protected those pump houses as much as we protect a house to

you know to ensure that we had pressure so I'm confident the city of LA and I'm hearing that the governor has you know ordered an investigation that's going to get sorted out that's going to get public and yes it could be quite embarrassing and life-changing for a few people uh involved in whatever decision-making took place

good uh we have to learn from our lessons uh you know learn lessons from our mistakes um

you are being talked about of going into the department of interior um oh

you had not heard that

well i i'm here i'm i'm here in rublings people have asked if i was interested in in perhaps even you know becoming the the new U.S.

Forest Service chief.

And I've shared with others that should I be approached at some point, I would certainly consider it because quite frankly, that agency is a mess when it comes to firefighting.

The pay and benefits for their firefighters, their firefighters are leaving in droves.

They are so underpaid and underbenefited that they are leaving to go to work for state and local government agencies like mine and like LA County's.

And this isn't anything new.

You know, I used to work for them for 13 years, both the USDA Forest Service and the Department of Interior, BLM.

And I left as a cruise superintendent.

I ran cruise.

And back then, you know, we were significantly underpaid.

I left the municipal department in 1990, went to San Diego because of it, and it's gotten worse.

And it's not managed or organized like a fire department.

And if they're going to be be in the fire business, you know, they need to be organized and led like a fire department.

Yes, they're a resource agency, and yes, they have things beyond fire.

But if you look at the Forest Service budget,

primarily now, it's fire that's being funded.

And they definitely need some help, and they're firefighters.

Quite frankly, Glenn, they're going to be without...

a fire department very, very soon.

I have to tell you, it was the National Forest Service that helped save my neighbor's ranch and probably mine.

If we would have had high winds, it would have been over.

But the local fire came out and immediately

the Forest Service had already positioned.

They looked at my canyon and went, this is dry.

This is just a disaster waiting to happen.

And they were ready for it and they saved it.

I mean, they did a great job there.

They have amazing firefighters.

Yeah, they do.

I spent 13 years in a hot shot crew.

So I know the business.

And

I know the people that are out there now, their firefighters are amazing.

They're smoke jumpers.

They're hotshots.

They're engine crews.

They're Hell Attack.

Unfortunately,

again,

they're organized in such a way that nationally, they don't, it would take too long to speak to you, but it's just sad to see.

I mean, here in California, I'm told that

we're only able to staff their stations at 60%.

In my own county, I have three Forest Service stations, and they could only staff one of those stations, two on occasion, eight to 10 hours a day all summer.

We had a fire.

We had a fire, the airport fire earlier this summer that burned over 100 homes, and the station closest to that fire was not staffed.

And so, you know, I made Congress aware and others aware.

And right now, I don't think the Forest Service is happy with me because I'm being very public about things that they should be very public about.

So

would it be the Forest Service or the Department of Interior that

would be responsible for getting underbrush cleared?

Well, I think it's both.

I've worked for both the USDA and USDI.

And let's face it,

at least out here in the West, firefighters for decades have done such a great job at suppressing fires quickly that it's caused this growth.

And we've got an unhealthy landscape out there.

And we need to start putting beneficial fire back on the landscape.

We need to clear the brush.

But here's another thing, Glenn.

Those same firefighters

that we're losing, those are the people that are going to do the work.

And so if you don't have the workforce to do the work that needs to be done, how do you get it done?

It doesn't matter.

how many millions or billions of dollars you throw at the problem if you don't have the people there to do the work.

But yes, I mean, we need to do something about this unhealthy forest.

And people are working hard at it.

Certainly CAL FIRE is showing amazing, incredible

success with it.

But we're years behind, man.

This is decades of not treating the fuels and the landscape.

It's going to be decades to fix it, but we've got to do something, and we've got to have a workforce to be able to do it and like I say if asked and I haven't been asked by anybody officially but just inform what people have suggested and asked is that something I would consider and absolutely and

you know certainly pay is less of an issue it would be a pay cut for me but it's not about that yeah it's about it's about you know what we as firefighters you know have sworn to do and uh

we need to fix that that organization quickly quickly can I ask you I'm up against a network break can I just ask you about the safety inspections of the Oregon fire trucks and everything that was not to make sure of emissions that was to make sure that they could function correct

which seems insane too but go ahead

I'm unaware that of what you're talking about, but I know that we do inspect, not we, but the state or the feds will inspect

engines and whatnot when they arrive, and then before they leave to make sure they're safe.

So

I'm not familiar at all with the situation you're talking about.

All right.

Brian, thank you so much.

I hope you're called up because we need to take all of our agencies and especially all of our

services that are protecting us seriously again.

We haven't for quite a long time.

Brian, thank you so much.

Yep, we need change.

So thank you.

You bet.

Brian Fennessy, Orange County Fire Chief.

You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

Need a little more?

Check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts.

Welcome.

I'm just watching some of this coverage of the Pete Hegseth

hearings.

I saw Megan Kelly.

She was right behind the second row of the hearing.

We saw that earlier.

And

we're watching this visually.

We're not hearing all of it.

Yeah.

And then I walked in during the commercial break.

Yeah.

And the audio was up, and I was like, that voice is familiar.

Who is that?

It was one of those irritating voices from the past.

And then I looked up and I was like, oh, no, maybe not.

I'm not sure who that is and watched the commentary for a couple of minutes and then looked down at the name plate

and realized that was apparently Kirsten Gillibrand.

Which

I think that is the nicest telling of that story, Sarah, wouldn't you say?

I think that was a

original, I mean,

that is exactly the original tale.

That is precisely what happened.

In my mind, I don't know what I said.

That is precisely what happened.

I said, who the hell is that hag?

I never said that.

You know I said that.

This is what I heard.

I mean,

really, honestly, Sarah, he didn't say those words, but that's what he was saying.

Oh, definitely what he said.

Definitely what he was saying.

I don't

think it's a wonderful.

I didn't say those words, first of all.

I may have implied them.

Because I will say, I mean, Washington takes a toll on you, man.

Do you know, here's

fact of the day?

Yeah.

That person up there, Kirsten Gillibrand, younger than you.

Wow.

Ah, that was him saying she's a hag.

Did you hear that reaction, Sarah?

That's exactly.

Wow.

She is, she is holding herself together very well.

No, that is not what you just said with that noise.

That noise expressed a lot of emotion and surprise.

Yeah, wow.

And not in a positive way for dear Kirsten.

Yeah.

Because she was running for president relatively recently.

She was always invited on like Stephen Colbert.

She was a

New York senator.

She was kind of a mini celebrity for a while running for president.

Didn't make much of an impact in her race.

It was never really close.

But

it feels like the pictures look like they were 25 years ago.

I don't know what's going on.

She was questioning Heg Seth, and it was...

Oh, don't try to move to the actual

content of her remarks.

Is that the important part?

No.

No, okay.

What happened?

We always say this about presidents, and it's okay to say it about guys.

Oh, look, he came into office and his hair was black, and now it's totally gray.

Oh, that's totally fine to say about guys.

The same things happen, apparently, to dear Kirsten here.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

She just stopped dying her hair.

That's what happened.

In four years, it hasn't been like, oh, my gosh, look at her gray hair, all that stress.

She stopped putting a box of chemicals in her hair.

I will say that may very well have occurred.

Yeah.

She's only 58,

but that may very well have occurred.

What I would add to that, though, is it looks like maybe she stopped doing other things.

Because ladies, and you back me up on this, Sarah, right?

Ladies tend to do things to improve their appearance.

Maybe wear makeup.

Maybe there's some things that are injected into

faces.

Hang cackles from him right now, aren't you?

Maybe there's bathing.

There's all sorts of things that they do, and she seemed to have stopped all of them.

You think she stopped bathing?

I mean, I'm not there to stop.

Maybe we can ask Megan.

She's in the second row.

Maybe she would know.

Okay.

Well, I think you should call Megan.

No, I personally don't.

I don't want to get her involved in that.

No, I think Megan would be happy to answer all of these questions.

I'll drag you into the depths of a conversation like that.

Yes, I don't want to do that to her.

Yeah, huh.

So you don't want to talk about the policies.

I think Heg Seth is handling himself extraordinarily well.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Well, I thought that would be typical of me.

You did just do that?

I did.

Well, I did just Google something that we don't necessarily have to talk about.

I think we need to.

I think we need to.

Stu, just Google.

I don't think we need to talk about that.

That was not.

It was an off-the-air conversation.

You didn't say that prior.

I said it off-the-air.

I think America needs to know what you're Googling about Christian Gildibrand.

You don't even know her name.

I don't.

I don't care.

I really don't care.

Okay, well, then let's move on then.

But I care now because of what you because I didn't.

It wasn't anything bad.

It wasn't anything bad.

It wasn't anything bad.

Well, it was.

Poor Kirsten is crying her little eyeballs out right now.

No, that's not true.

First of all, I mean, obviously, I mean, to state the very clear and obvious, both of us are hideous.

So this is not,

that is, we're not judging.

I wasn't the one that said,

what the hell happened?

Oh, the American people absolutely heard you say that with that noise you made when I said she was 58 years old.

They heard it.

They heard every little bit of it.

But what I just

Googled something because I became concerned.

About her health.

Well, I'd be, yes,

that is one way of stating what he was.

How did you Google it?

How did you Google?

What did you Google?

I Googled if Kirsten Gillibran had disclosed a disease or long-term illness

because i became concerned she gets gray hair and you think that she's well yeah i will say the real thing that happened there is after i made jokes about it i figured oh god she probably has some terrible disease and now everyone's going to yell at me because i made fun of her appearance she looks so bad with gray hair that you think she has

gray hair that's not what it's about you have gray hair you're i don't have gray hair.

I have white hair.

Yes, well, yes.

Yes, that's true.

You have white hair.

Have you, did you Google, does Glenn Beck have some horrible?

He's in a book.

There's nothing I can Google that you don't have.

Every two days, you're like, hey, it's Glenn Beck live from the hospital.

They're going to build you a podcast studio inside of Baylor.

But I will say, I just, it really, like, it wasn't really concerned about her, if I'm being honest, it was concerned about me because I didn't

call her name.

So, first there was something terrible that happened about women getting older, and then

you thought, oh, dear God,

I could be in trouble.

She was like, she looked like a celebrity on Stephen Colbert like six months ago.

She's like having some reverse Benjamin Buttons thing going on.

There's something happening.

Reverse Benjamin Buttons, which would be

normal aging.

I just got to go to reverse Benjamin Buttons.

Oh, the movie had seemed like it went really fast at times.

Right.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe that is a long way to get to normal aging.

But I don't think my point is.

Maybe she's spending a lot of time in the sun.

Right?

Like they say that that's something you shouldn't do.

Yeah.

You know?

Not recently, because she looked looked very pale, but at some point, some point.

She was out in the sun.

Out in the sun too long.

I'm just, I'm trying to help.

Right.

What are you doing?

What are you judging?

You know what I'm doing?

I'm rubbernecking right now.

I'm just driving by a car accident, just slowing down to watch it.

That's all I'm doing.

Who is the one person here who cared enough about her health to make sure she's doing okay?

Me.

I'm the only one.

What did you do?

You sat here and did, you were just, you didn't care if she had a long-term illness or disease.

She disclosed it all.

I didn't think she had one.

I just thought she was aging like people do.

No, you are so

shameless.

Shameless.

You have a shameless.

Shameless.

Everyone in this audience heard moments ago.

Have we pulled the audio?

Hey, Glenn, she's younger than you.

Oh,

what the noise?

There was like several different emotions in that noise.

That was not true.

That she expressed it.

That's not true.

I mean, it was disdain.

I'm looking out for her health.

What are you doing, sir?

I was just trying to talk, you know, about what's happening to poor Pete.

That's all I was doing.

Poor Pete.

That's all I was doing.

And

you're right.

Let's get back to Pete Exeth.

Hey, Pete Exeth is the nominee.

I don't really, I don't really care to talk.

I'm not paying you for dissents.

I don't, I, you know, look, I think we've covered

everything we need to cover on Kirsten Giller.

Brett, I just had a moment of legitimate shock.

And sometimes human beings are fallible.

And I maybe misjudged what could happen in such a short time.

The aging process, we should do something.

Medicine should fight that.

We should go up.

Longevity science should be invested in heavily.

So you didn't have to look at aging women.

That's what you're saying?

That's not what I'm saying at all.

I'm just saying I was shocked.

It's a weird segue.

I was shocked, and I think that, you know, can't science do something is

what I'm saying.

So you don't have to look at aging women.

No, it has nothing.

Why do you keep saying that?

You keep saying it.

Is this a logical place to go?

It is not a logical place to go.

Why would he...

Go ahead, sir.

I'm not getting involved.

Wow, you've even scared her away.

Wow.

Wow.

Well, she knows.

She knows what you would say, so she can't take you on because she knows exactly what kind of horrible, insensitive comments you would make about her and i have gray hair do you

do you want to make that comparison no i didn't think so no she doesn't nobody does okay nobody does so i would like to talk about uh you know because this is a logical segue stu

a logical segue is not oh wow she looks horrible science should do something about the standard aging process by the way it's not and she was utilizing it apparently with hair dye

okay Here's a logical one.

Biden puts taxpayers on the hook for 15,000 debtor student loans.

Here's a guy who we've been talking about fires all day.

Here's a guy who is setting our government on fire just before he leaves.

In every way possible, they are sabotaging the presidency of Donald Trump.

And

I really hope these are the things that come to an end beginning next week.
