Welcome to the podcast.

Wow.

Great one.

Great show?

No, I was saying the great ones on the phone for me, Mark Levino.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Go ahead.

You did.

Great podcast today, including going into the DeSantis versus Gavin Newsom debate, which was a debacle for Newsom and very good, I think, for DeSantis.

I mean, it was a good thing.

Really good for DeSantis.

He looked really good, and I think it's the type of approach

he should be

trying to create new opportunities where

it can be

replicated because he's good in those moments.

He's better in those moments than he is in a Republican debate.

It's hard in a Republican debate to walk all the lines that you're trying to help some of these voters.

He's just on attack, and he's fantastic.

I thought he was last night.

We also have a big podcast out this weekend, Glenn,

with a survivor from Israel, which is an incredible story.

She was there.

She lived the horror for eight hours with terrorists every 30 minutes,

coming in with machine guns and grenades.

She survived at the bottom of a pile of dead bodies.

You will not believe her story and what she says about the dead that were on top of her.

It's crazy.

You've never heard anything.

like it.

Also on today's podcast, we tell you the clear and present danger that if we don't turn this around before the next election,

it will be the end not only of just the republic, freedom of mankind, but also free will.

And you will not see it coming.

And it's happening right now and nobody is talking about it.

We talk about Elon Musk,

who he is in history, and I compare him to three or four people.

He's fighting

the same thing that other really famous people have fought in the past uh and they lost each time i think he has the shot to win let me tell you more about that on my uh ex-feed um and find that message to elon musk and retweet it for me will you here is today's podcast in just a second first relief factor if you're living in pain Please,

We have the latest on Elon Musk's work against censorship with social platforms.

It's getting ugly.

The end of the ceasefire.

It ended last night.

The United States is, I mean, we are.

We're on the wrong side, guys.

We're on the wrong side.

But the ceasefire is over.

We'll get into that.

The clear and present danger that is happening and being exposed in Congress today,

the most,

this one is it.

I've always, people are always like, what's the biggest thing?

This is it.

If this isn't stopped, it does mean not only the end of the Republic, but the end of free will.

And I'll explain later on in the program.

Also, we're going to cover the DeSantis and Newsom debate that happened last night with Sean Hannity.

But I wanted to start with something that was bigger,

bigger in its scope, because sometimes,

well, all the time, when you listen to this program, it can kick you to the curb.

It can just kick you in the head repeatedly and repeatedly, and you feel like everything is out of control.

Let me start with something that will give you perspective.

In 1978, at a time that was much like this one, see if this sounds familiar, the country was in shambles, stagflation, despair, energy crisis, rampant crime.

People were hopeless, disillusioned.

They stopped believing in America.

They stopped believing that things will get better.

The greatest city, as was declared in the early 1960s, Detroit, had fallen from its perch.

The car industry, once the greatest in the world, was in shambles.

America was now being clobbered by a country in the Far East who were coming here buying our land and our landmarks.

Americans felt America was over.

Does that sound familiar at all?

So at that time, 1978, One of the greatest American composers, Aaron Copeland, joined with Henry Fonda just to remind Americans of who they were, where they came from.

Aaron Copeland wrote, I mean,

he's written some of the greatest American music of all time.

He had the Philharmonic

playing all of his beautiful music, and Henry Fonda took to the stage and spoke.

He spoke of the dark times and the hope

of Abraham Lincoln.

I listened to that over the last few days.

And the feeling of 1978, because I remember hearing that when I was a kid, and the feeling of that time and the words that he was speaking rang true to me.

I don't have the license to be able to play the Aaron Copeland thing with Henry Fonda, but you should look it up and listen to it.

Now, I don't have Aaron Copeland backing me up,

and I I don't have Henry Fonda's voice or

credibility, but I do have mine, and I do have my thoughts, and I do know history.

So I took his speech as a model, and I wrote it anew.

Now, his told the story of Lincoln, but I chose the words of three presidents and one average citizen to tell the story of you and me

and all of us who are lucky enough to dare call ourselves American.

In the early dawn of our nation, we stood at freedom's threshold.

That is what he said.

That is what George Washington said.

Citizens of a young nation, Behold our path of freedom.

We in this fledgling republic carry the weight of a new world on our shoulders.

Our actions, humble or grand, will forge a legacy beyond our lifetimes.

The responsibility of freedom, the duty of honor, these are the burdens that we bear for future generations.

Let the standard of the wise and the honest guide us under the watchful hand of Providence, he said.

This is what George Washington said.

In times of peace and uncertainty,

our resolve must never falter.

The sacred fire of liberty entrusted to the American people demands our vigilance.

In this great experiment of government, our actions will echo through the ages.

Citizens of a young nation, behold the path of freedom.

That

is what he said.

He was born in Virginia, a land of rolling hills and boundless skies.

And this is what he said.

This is what George Washington said.

Let us raise that standard to which the wise and the honest can repair.

The event is in the hand of God.

Duty, honor, country.

These are not mere words.

They are the foundations of a life well lived.

In stature and in spirit, he stood tall.

And this is what he said.

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destination of the

destiny of the Republican model of government are entrusted to the hands of the American people.

If we falter and lose our freedoms,

it will only be because we destroyed ourselves.

A leader, a reluctant general, a president, a man of deep honor and integrity, a father of a country.

George Washington was a man of few but powerful words.

But when he spoke of duty and honor, this is what he said.

He said,

labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.

George Washington, the first president of these United States, forever etched in the annals of history.

In the winter at Valley Forge, this is what he said.

He said, Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Let us therefore rely on the goodness of our cause and the aid of the Supreme Being,

in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions.

Later amidst the turmoil to end an ancient evil and try to right the nation's wrongs, a voice rose again, a beacon of hope amidst the sea of despair.

And this is what he said.

This is what Abraham Lincoln said.

Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away, yet, if God wills that it continue until all of the wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword.

As it was said three thousand years ago, still it must be said,

the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

He said, With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us the right to see it,

let us strive to finish the work we're we're in and bind the nation's wounds.

The storm passed,

but our nation's wounds were deep.

This time it took a king to pull us back together.

Not like the kings of old who claimed God gave them the right to rule and be master over men.

This king quietly, meekly, peacefully became the servant of God God and man.

Martin Luther King,

who taught us to love and forgive and live up to our own ideals, to live as one, not seeing the color of skin.

Almost a century after that great and bloody war, evil in the heart of man dared showed its face again.

And this king joined Abraham Lincoln, as he too was crowned in glory as a martyr.

But this is what he said.

He said, when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.

This note was a promise that all men, yes, black as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And it is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.

We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.

And so we come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of of freedom and the security of justice.

This is what he said.

This is what Martin Luther King said.

I have a dream to-day

that all men can live together, live as one, and not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

In the quest for freedom, we stand as one.

That is what he said.

That is what Ronald Reagan said.

In the quest for freedom, we stand as one.

Across the globe, wherever tyranny casts its shadow, here or abroad, it is the duty of every American to be a beacon of hope.

Our nation, conceived in liberty, carries the torch that enlightens the world.

In the face of oppression, we shall not waver.

Our resolve is strength, our unity, our shield.

Born in Illinois, who like Washington, Lincoln, and MLK never lost his God-given optimism,

Reagan had found it in his upbringing.

And he too dreamt of a world unchained.

And this is what he said.

This is what Ronald Reagan said.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

It must be fought for, it must be protected, and then handed on for them to do the same.

Standing firm, he looked beyond the horizon, and this is what he said.

He said, Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

We are a nation

that has a government, not the other way around.

This is what makes us special among the nations of earth.

Ronald Reagan, once a Democrat, then a Republican, an American president and leader.

A man who saw America not just as a country, but as an ideal.

But when he spoke of Americans' duty, this is what he said.

He said, We must always remember, we must always be prepared, so we may always be free.

Our cause is noble, and it is the cause of mankind.

In his words at the Brandenburg Gate, this is what he said.

Let us be a force for good, a force for freedom, a force that fights for peace and justice in a world too often scarred by the opposite.

And as the dream of freedom endures, its guardians emerge in new forms.

This is what Ronald Reagan said.

In the quest for freedom, we unite against darkness, the darkness of tyranny.

Our nation, a beacon of hope, stands resilient against the bullies of the world.

We inherit not just a land, but a legacy of freedom that we must defend with unwavering courage

He said, Let us be unafraid in the face of evil.

Our unity

is our strength, and in that strength lies the power to shape a world that cherishes freedom and justice.

Our destiny is not predetermined.

It is only crafted by our own hands, our hearts, and our unwavering spirit.

In the symphony of our nation's history, these voices blend into a single enduring

melody.

From the foundations laid by the vision of Washington to the unyielding resolve championed by Reagan and the enduring hope of justice that was articulated by Lincoln,

our journey is one of continuous striving.

We as a people have weathered the storms of change and stood as a pillar against the tides of oppression.

Together, these voices echo.

Our legacy is not merely in the battles won, but in the unrelenting pursuit of a world where freedom reigns supreme.

The spirit of America, resilient, bold, inspires us to uphold the ideals of democracy and humanity.

So, in unity, we must affirm,

as heirs to this great legacy,

we must carry forward the torch of liberty.

Let us here and abroad be the keepers of this flame, a light that guides the world towards a brighter, more just future.

For in unity, in our courage, in our commitment to the ideals that have always defined us, we will find strength to build a world where freedom, justice, and hope

flourish for all.

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

Yesterday there was a very important hearing in Congress on the weaponization of the federal government and I knew it would be a wake-up call about how close we are to living Orwell's 1984.

But in a surprising way, it was even more disturbing to me and, you know, in the super boring way that all government hearings are.

I'm going to spare you from having to watch all of it.

I have clips from it and then go watch all of it.

I want to summarize what happened.

The hearing started with a speech from the Democrat ranking member about how there is absolutely, positively none, zero evidence that the government colluded with social media to censor people.

Okay, Okay, this was the first five minutes.

My eyes were ready to pop out of my head, but this is old news.

We already know there's evidence.

We've already seen the Twitter files and everything else.

But then she continued on that theme.

And then the Democratic committee members decided to talk about...

Instead of the government colluding with social media to strangle the First Amendment to death, they didn't want to talk about that.

They wanted to talk about Donald Trump.

Seriously.

They brought in a witness, a former Homeland Security and counterterrorism advisor to Mike Pence, to talk about how Trump is literally Hitler.

In your testimony, you cited

violent language,

increasingly incendiary language being invoked by President Trump about his so-called enemies.

One of the words he used was vermin.

What does that echo in your mind?

Anyone else come to mind historically who referred to enemies of the state as vermin?

Yes, the horrible Hitler.

And Goebbels.

Yeah, and Stalin and probably Mao.

Not good people, not good people.

But here she is echoing what every Democratic member said, other than that Trump is Hitler.

He wants to ban all Muslims, overthrow the government, and he's going to start exterminating people.

Now,

here's the second part of her testimony.

Weaponization of the federal government is a serious topic that requires sober analysis.

Unfortunately, what we see here today and what we have seen from this committee over the past year is instead a politically motivated fantasy detached from reality.

Members of this committee and their witnesses make grand and vague accusations about government censorship, but those foggy allegations are refuted by the facts.

That private social media companies moderating content on their own private platforms is not government censorship.

Oh my gosh.

It is those private companies exercising their own First Amendment rights to rid their platforms of misinformation.

There is a treasure trove of documents.

You will not believe, when you go down this rabbit hole, and you must, you must go down this rabbit hole.

When you go down the rabbit hole of what was released this week, and I'm going to go into it here in a second, you will see the actual documents and emails.

All right.

It was like watching two unrelated hearings playing over each other at the same time.

At one moment, there were witnesses talking about how our government is using psychological warfare against its own citizens, and then boom, Trump is Hitler.

We live in two separate realities.

It's like half the country recently came from an alternate universe, which got melded into ours in some cosmic storm, or I don't know, maybe this is global warming or something.

And sometimes the portal rips open and the two universes sit side by side yet totally separate

we're talking about how social media is colluding with the government this is not just censorship colluding with the government And

the documents prove the U.S.

Intel and Military Industrial Complex to literally change the way people in America think.

They are operating government psyops on Americans.

This is brainwashing.

This is Manchurian candidate stuff.

This is this is Ray Bradbury.

I mean, this is the worst of the worst.

And they didn't want to talk about it.

This is a major issue, and we've got less than a year.

And if we don't solve this, We're done.

Now, I watched two men who both I think were both lefties.

Okay, they were both Democrats and lefties at one point,

but they are actual journalists, Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, former Democrats, debating with a Democratic congresswoman who so helped me was arguing that because there was only 35% of URLs labeled, removed, or soft-blocked, that that was evidence that there's no censorship.

And you could hear Matt Taibbi say, kind of under under his breath, 35% of the First Amendment.

Okay.

But at the same time, Pence's former advisor was saying, the only weaponization of the government we need to worry about is Trump, who isn't even in the government right now.

And since he's Hitler, you know, wouldn't it be best to get a hold of this government censorship apparatus before your Hitler comes back?

I have to tell you, there was also this bizarre effort to equate free speech on the internet with horrific crimes.

Listen to this.

This is one Congresswoman, Democrat, asking Matt Taibbi if he was okay with having rape live-streamed online.

Here it is.

Mr.

Taibbi, yes or no?

Should social media companies allow rape and murder to be live-streamed by terrorists on their platforms in order to create fear and incite violence?

I believe that would violate their terms of service, would it be?

So your answer is no?

They should not be allowed to do that.

Live stream rape and murder?

No,

I think that would count as speech that would be prohibited under their terms of terms of service.

Good, good.

It's not speech.

It's crime.

It's rape and murder.

That's not speech.

I have to play one more clip of a Democratic congressman calling the whole thing a conspiracy, but in doing so,

actually explained what was happening, oh, so very well.

So, if we really want to talk about the weaponization of the federal government, we should talk about it.

And that's Donald Trump.

That's not this grand, crazy conspiracy of how the

administration has utilized the social media companies against whom the First Amendment does not apply in order to suppress speech.

Thank goodness, many of the committee members recognize that.

So, an agency funded and created by the government, a partnership funded and created by the guard partnership or by the government's number one stated goal is to censor true information.

And whole narratives, whole ways of thinking.

That should terrify everybody, Democrat, Republican, Independent, young, old, anybody else.

This is so critical to understand in whole

thinking.

This is not about the old censorship.

Twitter was censoring.

That's not this.

There is censorship.

But now we have added covert operations run and funded by the Pentagon, run by our military-industrial complex in public-private partnerships to destroy the lives, not only the narrative, but to then destroy the lives of those who the government needs to be silenced, even if they know it to be true.

Then active disinformation run by puppet voices and bots to get you to think a different way.

And it's not just about misinformation that's out there.

They want to block anyone

on any narrative that might disagree with the government's narrative and do that in advance.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

Ladies and gentlemen, big breaking news.

Stop the music.

This is important that we report on this update, now breaking.

Dateline, Washington, D.C., George Santos, a spell expelled from Congress.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

What?

Yeah.

George Santos, the person none of us had heard about like three weeks ago?

He's out?

Yeah.

I can't believe it.

Yeah.

I'm stunned to hear it.

Yeah.

I also didn't know who he was three weeks ago, so I'm not exactly all that riveted.

No way.

I knew who he was after his election because he was lying or something.

He immediately turned into the biggest story in the whole world.

This unknown congressman suddenly became the biggest story in the world, according to the New York Times.

They're writing about him

10 times a day.

What did he say?

What were the lies?

He, well, allegedly.

Okay.

Allegedly.

Actually, a lot of the lies he admitted to,

which was he said he worked at, I think it was like Morgan Stanley or some big bank, and he didn't actually work there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So he said he had a job that he didn't have.

So like if you said, I was a truck driver and

I used to drive these trucks and I remember driving these trucks and

you didn't ever drive trucks.

So it'd be kind of like that?

I guess.

You claimed to have a job that you didn't have.

Okay.

All right.

What other lie did he tell?

He allegedly lied to donors and said, and used their money that was supposed to go for the campaign for things like Botox and OnlyFans.

What's OnlyFans?

It's like the way, well, I mean, it's a, you know, first of all, it's a very honest way to make a living.

We should not look down on it at all.

Oh, is this the one that you perform for money or whatever?

Yeah, I mean, some use it that way.

You know, others, who knows what accounts?

I don't know what he did.

He maybe went on some gambling trips, allegedly.

Okay.

Personal travel.

He allegedly lied to collect unemployment benefits.

This is all from the left-wing media here.

He allegedly committed identity theft.

He allegedly lied to Congress.

So it's

reimbursed himself for loans he didn't make.

If all of those things were true.

He lied about where he went to high school and college and that he worked on Wall Street.

If all of those things are true, it would be like I took money in bribe money, called it a loan, washed it through offshore accounts, had my son

take that money and deliver it and divide it up to the family, and then I got some of that.

It wouldn't need nearly that bad.

It wouldn't need to be a bad.

That's not a terrible analogy because it would not be that bad at all.

What you're talking about would be much, much, much worse,

especially if the person you were talking about had some notoriety of some sort.

Like if he was an important person in the country.

All right.

And the person that used to drive a truck that he never drove.

There you go.

Okay.

Okay.

So I'm shocked that Santos is, you know, out.

Yeah, it was 311 to 114 was the vote.

I think they needed 260 or 280 to get him thrown out.

So he'll be thrown out.

They'll be doing a special election in New York.

Remember the guy who was pulling the fire alarm to stop a vote?

Oh, yeah.

He's still there.

He's still there.

He's still there.

The Republicans were just too much of wusses to throw that guy out.

Something that you and I would go to jail for.

Yeah.

They couldn't bring themselves to throw him out.

I don't even know who this Santos guy is.

No one knows who he is.

No one knew who who he was.

He's a completely,

completely invisible,

but no, had no accomplishments.

Was not right.

He was, he had been in office for like a week.

Isn't there the biggest story in the country?

Is there a chance he's a Sasha

Sasha Baron Cohen?

Yes.

I am a full believer in this theory.

I think this whole thing has been performance art.

I don't think George Santos exists.

I don't think he ever.

I don't think.

Now he's a real person.

I'm not saying he's a fake AI person.

I'm saying he is an actor, an actor who has decided to do a big piece of performance art where he's going to come out and make some big point.

He's about to reveal it now that he's been thrown out of the book.

You know who Stu sounds like right now?

And I'm just saying, lawyers line up.

You sound a little like Alex Jones in your performance art.

True.

Hey,

there's a whole nother theory on that.

But let me get to this.

Tina Smith.

Okay.

Tina Smith.

She is a senator from Minnesota.

Yeah.

Okay.

She is on the Senate Committee on Health.

Pretty important role.

Okay.

Yeah.

She decided to

make a little purchase.

She bought some stock, $250,000 of stock in a company called Tactile Systems, which, you know, everyone's been talking about

that.

That's a no-brainer.

Now, there's a Twitter account that goes through all the stock purchases of the families.

I love those people.

And sees, are they making suspicious purchases?

They call it one of the smallest companies they've ever seen a politician buy.

Has almost no volume.

No one knew anything.

It was just this little tiny, tiny company.

Invested $250,000 in this company.

Since then, the stock has risen 43%.

Holy.

Now, that's, I don't know, strange.

Well, but she didn't have any knowledge or anything.

She was just a good speculator, right?

Right.

Maybe.

Who knows?

We don't have any evidence.

We don't know for sure.

That's just a little blip from a senator, not a random congressman who's been in office for a day.

This is a senator in a purple-ish state.

This should be, you'd think, at least a story to me is asking questions about.

This Santos thing, you know what this is?

Persecution of a gay man and a gay congressman.

This is a gay man, gay congressman.

You're right.

This is, okay, so he's he's a, he comes out of nowhere.

No one knows who he is.

He's a gay Republican, gets elected, suddenly has all these very easily disprovable lies, none of which come out until like a day before the election.

He is somehow

then put as on as the basically the face of the Republican Party for two years.

I've never even heard of the guy.

He just becomes the face of the Republican Party.

Right.

And then gets thrown out of of Congress.

Now, my understanding is Bob Menendez is still in the Senate.

He's still there.

He is.

This story's been going on for a decade.

The guy's still there.

Okay, let me help you make sense of the world.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me help you make sense.

Because I know that story doesn't make sense, but this one does.

You know, McDonald's has been in the news lately, having some troubles, right?

Well, yeah, there's been some

talk.

Okay.

Well,

they have announced today

that they have been working on improving the Big Mac since 2016.

They are announcing today,

after

all of those years since 2016,

how they've decided to improve the Big Mac.

Okay.

So this must be, this is big, a big

development on a Big Mac.

Yes.

Okay.

So

what they're going to do to the Big Mac, and I am not kidding you, they've been working on it since 2016.

It's a long time.

What they're going to do to make it better

is they're going to include two smaller

cooked all-beef patties.

So, they're going to eat the patties.

They're reducing the size of the patties.

They're adding more special sauce.

Then, fresh lettuce, cheese, and pickles.

Wait, what was the

what was the lettuce before?

Well, apparently, not fresh.

Okay.

Okay.

This is, this is not, they're not saying fresh.

They're saying fresher.

Fresher.

Because it came in a fresher bag right before, like they came in a sealed bag.

Sure, and I doubt it does now.

I think they're going down to the farmer's market

to get it.

Yeah.

Locally sourced.

Of course.

Now,

here's the big thing.

Yeah.

Here's the big thing.

You're saying to yourself, that doesn't sound necessarily like a good choice.

Because you'd think you'd want to advertise making your beef patty bigger.

Bigger.

That would be something you'd be excited to announce.

I don't know if they're going to advertise that it's smaller.

Well, but why do we know about it?

I mean, every other piece of shrinkflation, right, just happens.

They just do it and they don't tell you about it.

Why do we know about this?

Well, because

they've got a big makeover coming from McDonald's.

And so, you know, they're making 50 changes to their foods.

Ooh, okay.

Yeah, okay.

And the first one is: hey,

our namesake product.

And then

this is the one that this changes everything, okay.

They're going to take the burger buns, okay, okay,

they're going to continue to be round, whole during

this could be whole grain now, no, no, no, no, no, it's going to be still round, okay, because they want to keep that that's important, uh, and buttery

because they want to keep that good, okay, all right.

But

the sesame seeds, I am quoting, the sesame seeds will also be more scattered

to create a more homemade look.

Wow.

They've been working on this since 2016.

How do I buy some McDonald's stock today?

Is that available?

That's...

You come into my office as the CEO and you say, been working on this since 2016.

Here's what we're going to do.

I don't throw you out of my office.

If I'm in a high-story building, I might throw you out the window.

That's what you came up with?

Scattered sesame seeds and smaller beast patties.

Boss, boss, boss.

Listen.

This is going to be great.

This is going to throw the whole thing.

This is a whole new curve.

You know, the sesame seed bun?

They're going to be distributed not as evenly on the bun.

Ooh, it's going to look more homemade when it comes out of the

chute down the burger chute.

It's going to look more homemade.

That is bizarre.

Yeah.

Why would they, why would i mean is it just a pitch to to investors to say we're going to be saving money on these things and i mean what what what could possibly be the reason they would tell people about this

uh

i don't know i don't know really strange big mac changes are happening after mcdonald's ranked 13th among u.s change with customers calling their burgers desirable so remember it used to be the whopper or the Big Mac.

Have it your way.

Now it's like, we don't want any of your ways, really.

Yeah.

You guys are way down on the pack.

I freaking love their food.

I don't care what people say.

I don't care.

I had Taco Bell last night.

It was delicious.

I'm sorry.

I don't.

I can sit here and complain about all capitalism chain restaurants.

There's two.

Look at every one of our areas now just looks like a giant strip mall.

Great.

I love it.

I love the fact that there's a freaking one of these restaurants on every corner.

It makes my life special.

I have to, I have to tell, I don't know if it's special.

It makes it special.

I love it.

It's incredible.

How can a society achieve so many wonderful things?

I have to tell you.

Screw it.

Anybody who can make a filet of fish, which I doubt has any fish in it, tastes like that, it's a miracle.

It's a miracle.

It is.

And that bun, which is now smaller, the whole thing is smaller.

No sesame seeds on that bun.

No sesame seeds on that bun.

You could just hold me.

Yeah, you could roll that up like silly putty in your hand.

They're fantastic.

And you know what?

They're freaking delicious.

And they're delicious.

I do.

The McDonald's breakfast is delicious.

So

good.

It is.

I love it.

Probably made of heavy metal plastic.

Don't care.

But I don't care.

It's,

I just,

we live in a society where we have to say, well, I mean, it's probably not any freak.

Who knows what?

Stop it.

It's great.

It's a great freaking achievement.

The fact that you can churn out food that's delicious, that gives people an opportunity to eat at a low price that they don't have to prepare surely somebody who would pay twelve dollars for a Big Mac will pay 17 it's look it might be twelve dollars now but every other place is 80 so

relatively cheap how about that
