Hello and welcome to today's podcast.

There is some surprising news coming out today about this gentleman called Hunter Biden.

He apparently has done some few things and then he lied about it.

And

there seems to be some cracks in his story.

Because he smokes crack.

Oh God.

Today we do talk about Hunter Biden and some new things.

I think the tide is changing.

We talk to the New York Post, also the Federalist, and get their point of view on what exactly is happening with the whistleblowers, the IRS, and now the

federal attorney who seems to be, this is going to come as a shock, a liar.

We'll talk about that and so much more on today's podcast brought to you by Relief Factor.

If you're in pain, get out of pain.

It's just that easy, right?

Just get out of pain.

Unless you've tried absolutely everything and nothing works.

That's where I was about five years ago.

Started taking Relief Factor because my wife said, I'm not going to listen to you wine anymore.

And that, I mean, I got to have somebody listen to me.

Why?

I mean, the 10 million of you, that's not enough.

So she said, I'm not going to listen to wine unless you try Relief Factor.

And I said, honey, it works on inflammation.

That's like ibuprofen.

It's never going to work.

Never works for me.

I tried Relief Factor.

Three weeks later, I'm feeling the effects of it.

I'm feeling better.

I'm stupid.

And so I was like, that's not this stuff.

I'm just having a good period.

I stopped taking it and ow.

I'm taking it again every day.

Relief Factor.

Get out of pain.

Just try it for three weeks.

The three-week quick start.

It's a trial pack.

See if it works for you.

If not, stop taking it.

You'll know though in three weeks.

It's relief factor.com, relief factor.com or 1-800, the number 4, relief.

Here's the podcast.

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

So, Stu,

I'm trying to understand this

story about Weiss.

He is the attorney from Delaware, the

U.S.

Attorney, David Weiss.

He told the House Judiciary Committee that he had been granted ultimate authority over the

prosecutorial decisions related to the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

Then

Attorney General Merrick Garland comes up and he testifies the same thing.

However, if you actually read

what he said,

He said

he was asked to provide a letter, and in the letter,

he said, basically, I'm trying to find it here.

He basically said, Look, Merrick Garland told me I was in charge, and I make all of the decisions.

Now,

Congress is saying he lied in that letter,

and it goes against other testimony.

However,

me thinks I smell an attorney in that letter because what he said was, Merrick Garland told me.

He didn't say I'm in charge.

He didn't say anything.

It sounds to me like the Justice Department had an attorney write that letter.

probably for him, and then he had to sign it.

And he was like, I'm not lying and then of course every attorney will tell you you didn't lie in that letter at all isn't that what the attorney general told you yes but it's not true yeah i don't have control we didn't ask that is that what merit garland told you I think that's the game that is being played here.

But

Sean Davis knows much, much better than I do on this.

Sean Davis is with the Federalist.

He is the co-founder and CEO of the Federalist.

Sean, am I reading that right at all?

Or what do you think is happening?

Yeah, I don't think that's an unfair read that you're doing.

Anytime lawyers are involved, we should assume that they're trying to play games with words and trying to say things they're not allowed to say without actually getting in trouble for having said them.

Right.

But I will say, I think us being on the right, we're used to having to parse things out, and we forget that anymore when you're on the left, there's no consequences for lying.

So sometimes it's Occam's razor.

Sometimes they just say things that aren't true because they can get away with saying things that aren't true.

And the reason we know they can get away with saying things that aren't true is that Hunter Biden's not going to prison.

I mean, this happens over and over, especially with this particular Department of Justice, with this FBI.

And the real rub with this Hunter Biden stuff is we have Merrick Garland and David Weiss, the guy who was picked to do do the Hunter Biden investigation, claiming one thing, and then we have a whole room of whistleblowers who were intimately involved in the case investigating it saying something that's the exact opposite.

And it's fascinating.

And saying, and if I'm not mistaken, Sean, he said not just the exact opposite to them.

And

they're not just claiming that, yeah, and then he didn't have the authority.

Wasn't he complaining to them or telling them, look, I can't make that call.

I tried to get, you know, for instance, Washington.

I wanted to move the case to Washington and they wouldn't, justice wouldn't let me do it.

So it's not just that that was their thought.

He was actually explaining why they couldn't do things, right?

That's correct.

So it happened, according to several whistleblowers, in an October 7th, 2022 meeting between a bunch of the investigators on the case, tax experts who are at the top of their field, and been working on the case for years, and David Weiss and his team of attorneys out of Delaware.

And they were wanting to bring a whole bevy of charges because they had Hunter dead to rights on him.

And Weiss said, no, no, no, I'm sorry, I can't do that.

He explicitly told them, I can't change the venue.

I can't do this.

I asked for special counsel status.

That was rejected.

And, you know, it's easy to say, well, it's a he said, she said kind of thing, except there are contemporaneous written notes from multiple people people in that meeting at the time where they all agree that, yes, David Weiss claimed these things, and that they're the exact opposite of what he told Congress two to three weeks ago, and the exact opposite of what Merritt Garland told Congress.

So the question is, was Weiss lying in that meeting, or were he and Garland lying to Congress?

So either way, he was lying.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's a good guy and

just was told not to do things and then was kind of, you know, had a gun to his head.

It's like, I think you're going to sign this document.

And it's not a lie.

But you believe that he

could have been

actually the guy in charge, but he's telling all the underlings.

Yeah,

I don't have the...

the position to be able to make those calls.

I tried, and I just couldn't do it.

It could be that.

You know, there's different ways to reconcile the discrepancies.

That's one of them.

Any good ways?

No,

not really.

It could be that he decided, well, yeah, Merrick Garland told me I'm not allowed to do that and that I'd be fired if I did that.

And so I decided on my own authority that I wasn't going to do that.

That's the thing about the left.

They all play these word games.

But we all know what happened.

We all know what Hunter did.

Right.

So when we're looking at

this game being played, you know, what I said a minute ago, and you know what that means, nothing, because nothing's going to happen.

Nobody's going to go to jail or anything else.

I do have a feeling that we are at a turning point with the American people and with this story.

I think the average person is starting to figure it out on their own, even though the mainstream press is not going there at all.

There's enough press now that's credible around that is exposing this, that maybe this time it's different?

It could be.

And I'll tell you, the reason I think this one might be different is that we have a smoking gun text from Hunter.

We have Hunter threatening a Chinese Communist Party connected oligarch.

If you don't give me my money, my dad, who's sitting here next to me, he's going to screw you over and you'll regret it.

And two weeks later, they got their money in the exact amount that Hunter had demanded in that text.

It's rare that we ever get anything that clear-cut.

So we haven't.

Let me ask you.

Let me ask you this.

We've had all kinds of people go through that laptop.

How is it that letter

was never exposed?

We never saw that letter.

How?

Well, I think the main reason is that the FBI, which had possessed it and authenticated it in December of 2019, almost a year before the election, they went all out to cover it up, to hide it, to make sure no one knew about it.

And then all we had were various alleged copies of the hard drive floating around afterwards.

You had a couple reporters with access to it.

I'll tell you, when I'm trying to find files on my computer that I created like a month ago that I know are on there, it can take me 20 minutes to find out where the computer put them.

Can you imagine having to find the needle in a haystack on a computer that's not yours, that's got a gazillion insane photos and nonsense of Hunter?

You know,

when you're not allowed to use the actual authorities because they're trying to cover it up to find this stuff out, it doesn't surprise me that it's hard to actually find and get out there.

Hey, Stu.

Would you put a call into Peter Schweizer and see if he has a second to pop in?

Because he's very thorough.

And I'm shocked that he didn't see that.

And he'd be able to really answer with authority on how difficult it is to

find these things.

Sure.

So

Biden and his son met at Camp David over the weekend.

Obviously, they are

coordinating and working with attorneys on this.

How nervous do you think the White White House is on this?

I think they're starting to get a little nervous

because the heat has been turned

up so much on this.

And it goes back to that text.

We've got pictures that Hunter was at his dad's house that very day.

So it's not like Biden can claim, oh, that was a lie from Hunter.

He was in California.

I was in Delaware.

No, they were together that day.

Biden, as we all know, is completely incapable of explaining this or really anything else himself.

So they can't rely on him.

So they have to rely on the low IQ press secretary to go out there and explain all this.

And what she does instead is just stonewalls it.

They're not used to this type of scrutiny.

They're used to doing this to their enemies.

They're used to impeaching people over a phone call.

They're not used to having to defend smoking gun texts.

And so I think you're right that this one feels a little different.

They're starting to get a little bit nervous.

You had John Kirby just straight up walk out of a press briefing when he he was asked about it.

And the reason is there's no good answers for this.

There's no way to explain it away.

You just have to try and snuff out the story and hope it just dies.

I'm going to have to go back in the archives and look at the way the press

handled it.

With Nixon, it's interesting to me.

I remember reading

while I was doing the impeachment of Donald Trump that it took them two terms to

get it out.

I think the story broke like a year into his first term, maybe two, and the tide didn't change.

And it was in his second term, about halfway through, that finally he had to admit.

And that's about the timeline that this is.

They've hit it and hit it and hit it.

And now it's finally

starting to come out.

But I'm interested in the parallels

because this president has put himself in a bad situation where his Justice Department is going after a former president for misdemeanors and jaywalking, and he may be in real trouble.

Well, if history repeats itself, that means, God forbid, I hate to even say this, Lord, please know.

I don't want to give him any ideas.

If Joe Biden leaves, that means Kamala Harris is our president.

That's the scariest thing I've ever.

You have Joe Biden, who is completely senile,

but in the long run, he's not stupid.

She's just like,

we might as well have President Rock sitting, not the rock, just a rock sitting on the Oval Office

desk.

If history would repeat itself, she would pardon the outgoing president to get it behind the country because we all have to come together.

But you can't really do that and say you're doing it to bring the country together unless you pardon the other president.

What are your thoughts on that, Sean?

I think that's true.

Although, I guess the one argument I would make there is I don't think anyone believes Joe Biden is president right now.

And so if he were to leave and they just throw in Kamala, I don't think anything changes because she's not going to be in charge either.

I'd almost take the rock.

I think I would take just the stationary rock over both of them.

It would do less damage.

Yeah, and at least the American people would ask the question, wait, who's really running things?

Because I think he's eating pudding.

for most of the day and getting his cup of pills.

So he's not running it.

Sean, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for everything that you guys do at the Federalist.

You're really, really on top of things and really credible.

And it is hard to find credible news.

And I appreciate the Federalists.

Thank you so much.

You're very kind, sir.

Thank you.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program from St.

George, Utah.

where we are trying to help them build Liberty Village.

It is an amazing idea.

You can find out all the information on it at unitedwepledge.org.

My wife and I found out about this

about two or three years ago and became friends with the developers.

And their goals of teaching American history are my goals as well.

And so

we've partnered on this museum that we're doing now.

And I'm bringing it out to St.

George.

All of the profits go to them, except for the t-shirt sales and the poster and cup sales, because I'm trying not to live under a bridge to put all of these

items into a vault or to take them on tour.

My wife's a little angry with me and she's like, why don't you sell some t-shirts and then maybe ask me about buying somebody else's wheelchair or, you know, a signing pen or whatever it is.

So come prepared to buy a cup, a mug, a book.

If you're here,

you can get the brand new book two weeks early.

I tell you not to brag about it.

Don't taunt your friends with it

because it comes out in two weeks.

It is the brand new book, Dark Future, and it's really good.

Better than the predecessor, I think,

called The Great Reset.

It is number two.

You don't have to read number one to be able to get the second book.

or understand it, but

it doesn't hurt.

By the way, the audio version of that, and I say this

kind of sadly because it's a really, really good version.

I recorded it last day I recorded was literally right before I got on the plane.

I thought we were going to miss the plane because I was running out of the room after I finished and they said, wait, wait, wait, you have to say the end.

And I ran back to the mic, the end.

And then I ran to the airport to get here.

But it's really a funny version.

However, if you can only afford one, and I say this,

I make more money on the audio version.

So I'm not not saying this for any other reason other than history needs to be preserved.

If you can only afford one, buy the hardbound book or a softcover book because you don't own anything online.

If it becomes unpopular

for some reason or just too much hate speech, It can just be deleted from your library.

Not a good idea.

A book comes out in two weeks.

It's called The Great Reset.

You can order it now wherever you buy your books.

Miranda Devine is on with us.

She is the author of the book Laptop from Hell came out, I think, about a year ago.

She's the New York Post columnist

and has been neck deep in this, oh, I don't want to say in Hunter Biden, but in Hunter Biden stories.

And she's been essential in exposing a lot of the things that were on the laptop.

She joins us now.

Miranda,

are you there good day hello hi glenn great to be with you hi yeah so miranda um

you had the actual laptop right

yes well the hard drive which is

the hard drive yes complete replica of the laptop

okay so how did i mean i have a friend peter sweizer who is has got a team of people and they're very very good i know you're very very good How did we not see the email that says, I'm sitting here on the couch with my dad and we want our money, China?

Well, the beauty of that, it's actually not an email.

It's a WhatsApp message, which is an encrypted app.

And none of that appears on the laptop.

That WhatsApp message was retrieved by the IRS criminal investigators through an subpoena to Apple for Hunter Biden's iCloud.

And the beauty of that is that

the laptop the FBI had, they authenticated, can you believe it, every single piece on it that it was reliable evidence and hadn't been tampered with and was real.

They'd authenticate it by as early as February of 2020, but they refused to give it to the IRS investigators.

And, you know, as Gary Shapley, the whistleblower, said in his testimony that was released on Friday, he said, We needed to know, we're looking at how much money Hunter Biden didn't pay in tax.

We need to know about that email about 10% for the big guy.

We need to know who's the big guy, where'd that money go?

Because otherwise, we will count that 10% and make Hunter Biden pay tax for it.

So, it was, they asked several times for the Department of Justice for their prosecutors.

They said,

we need the laptop, and they were refused.

But they managed to get a lot of the material that's on the laptop through this subpoena for Hunter Biden's iCloud.

So that's another way that you can prove that what's in the laptop is legitimate, because there's a lot of overlap.

But of course, they got a lot of things that aren't on the laptop that were deleted or never preserved.

How much money do you think, and do we have a reasonable idea of how much money the Bidens have made through these kinds of things?

Well, look, we have for the first time a definitive number that the second IRS whistleblower, who was the lead case agent on that five-year investigation into Hunter Biden's taxes, he's given in his testimony a figure, now I think it was $18.2 million.

I could be out by a few hundred thousand there, but in that ballpark, say

$18 to $19 million

that came in from foreign sources into the sort of

Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Devon Archer, his various partners in crime or in business.

And then out of that,

there was about 9 million, a little over 9 million, went directly to Hunter Biden.

So he got about half the cut.

Whether or not 10% went to the big guy, aka Joe Biden, has yet to be determined.

But we know that Hunter got $9 million and he underpaid his taxes over that period significantly.

Now we know that Kevin Morris, Hunter Biden's sugar brother from California, the Hollywood lawyer, he befriended Hunter Biden and was terribly generous to him, paid back $2.8 million in unpaid taxes last year.

Terribly generous.

Terribly generous.

Yeah, that's one nice.

Yeah, that's one nice.

Oh, it was charity.

I was just doing it for a friend.

I mean, I write, you know, tens of millions of dollars of checks for friends, and I never expect to have them do anything for me.

Oh, by the way, I'm going to be talking from the press secretary, their podium there at the White House, talking some business later to the press.

I mean,

it wasn't the goodness of his heart.

Is anybody investigating him?

Well, look,

so the tax investigators did not treat that that money that Kevin Morris paid as a gift, which would itself have been taxable for Hunter Biden because Hunter Biden said it was a loan.

So presumably Hunter Biden will repay Kevin Morris with the money he gets from the work he does now as an artist.

So, Miranda, I mean, what's so crazy, he says it's a loan.

That's what he said about the money he was paid from Burisma when they put the money into Rosemont Seneca.

He didn't pay any taxes because he said it was a loan and then just never paid it back.

Yeah, that's right.

And it's just what they, these IRS guys who've been doing this for, you know, know, a quarter of a century between them, they say this is textbook tax evasion.

When you, you know, you get paid, you put it into another company, you say it's a loan.

You know, you can't give yourself a loan that you never pay back.

So

they obviously wanted to charge that as tax evasion.

But that was in 2014, 2015, which when Hunter Biden was living in Washington, D.C.

And

turns out David Weiss, the U.S.

Attorney for Delaware, who was given all of the Hunter Biden investigations that came in from all around the country for some reason by Bill Barr, they all went to Delaware.

And David Weiss

just asked nicely of the Washington, D.C.

U.S.

Attorney who'd been appointed by Joe Biden,

could I please lay some charges against Hunter Biden in your jurisdiction?

And surprise, surprise, U.S.

Attorney in Washington, D.C., Matthew Graves, said no you can't and same thing happened in the Central District of California for the later years where Hunter Biden had been living in Malibu and Venice Beach and no you can't do it another Biden appointee and David Weiss just meekly accepts that and then the statute of limitations run out on those which were the biggest

part of the charges the most serious for Hunter Biden and also encompassed Foreign Agent Registration Act violations so in other words, foreign lobbying.

There was evidence of that all over the laptop.

And we could never understand why on earth weren't those charges brought.

Now, we know from the whistleblowers, it's because the Department of Justice allowed the statute of limitations to run out because David Weiss said, oh, well, we can't bring charges because these U.S.

attorneys who were appointed by Biden won't let us.

And so last October, when Gary Shapley, the IRS whistleblower, and his crack crack team, they're like the SEAL team of the IRS, they are the ones who go,

he's collected $2.5 billion of taxes on behalf of the American taxpayer from

all over the world actually in his career.

So he is the number one.

He's the

goat of IRS investigators.

He's had this meeting in October with Weiss and said, why on earth did you let the statute of limitations run out?

And Weiss says, well, you know, I went to the Department of Justice and I asked if I could be made special counsel so that I could bring charges in those jurisdictions and they refused me.

Well, now Merrick Garland has come out and said that's not true.

That the only person who can make Weiss a special counsel is me and he never asked.

And so someone's lying.

And that's needed to call them in.

I will tell you, my best guess is they're probably both lying to some degree or another.

But let me ask you, I've got about 30 seconds.

You have been on this story for years.

I mean, you were at the post when the laptop was, you know, Russian disinformation and they banned the post from, you know, any social media.

Do you think we're at a turning point or is this more of the same

that's not going to amount to anything or anybody going to jail.

I think that the Gary Shapley's testimony and his partner is a game changer because they brought evidence that is separate from the laptop and is not just hearsay or one person's word against Joe Biden's.

This is

evidence, you know, transcripts of interviews with Hunter Biden's former business partners, memorialized conversations with six witnesses between Gary Shapley and

David White and DOJ prosecutors or

district attorneys who were who were obstructing.

So I think there is clear evidence of malfeasance by the Department of Justice involvement of the highest level of the FBI.

And

there's two parts of this story.

There's the original corruption story, but I think as with Watergate, the biggest story is the cover-up.

And Gary Shapley has laid bare the cover-up.

And you can see them now.

They are going to try and destroy him, destroy his reputation.

Right.

Miranda, thank you so much for everything you've done over the years on this story.

I appreciate it.

Keep it up.

Miranda Devine, author of Laptop from Hell and a columnist for the New York Post.

The best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, Stu.

What have you learned from today's show?

Unfortunately, too many things about the Biden family.

I'd like to know less about them.

And that's hard to say.

Yeah, that's hard to say, too, learning a lot about the Biden family too much, especially after you've

seen them

in

various positions of undress with other people, you know.

So other than that, I mean...

You're a slouch, Stu.

That's all you learned?

I've just spent two hours slaving over a hot microphone.

You just told me about hot pizza and yet have not revealed what actually went on.

So, I mean, that would be something you could do if you were going to do your job.

I just wanted to make sure you were listening, okay?

Of course.

Here it is.

This is very important.

They are not going to take away your stoves if you have a gas stove.

Yet, they are.

Okay, but that's a conspiracy theory, but they've confirmed that they're doing it.

But anybody who's talking about it is a conspiracy theorist.

Perfect.

Easy to understand.

Are you following?

So far, yes.

They are not.

Yeah.

They're not going to take away your

coal or your wood-fired pizza oven.

They're not going to do it.

Anybody who says they're doing that, it's a conspiracy theory.

Except they are doing it to restaurants in New York.

But that's just coal and wood-fire stoves.

that are not being closed that they want closed.

And I will say, there is no, no level of importance,

you know, culturally of New York coal oven pizza.

That's not like something that, you know, is important to the city,

well-known.

There's just, you know, it's not like pizza from New York is a thing, right?

Right.

Right.

It's like.

Get rid of the yellow taxi cabs.

And the streets still look the same in New York.

Yeah.

So it's not, it's not an important thing to New Yorkers or

to, you know, for instance,

give me any reason to go visit New York.

It wouldn't be because of the pizza because it tastes entirely different.

I don't know what it is, but it is an entirely different taste.

It's not just the experience.

It's a different taste in New York.

New York slices of pizza are the best.

Some of them are wood, you know, come from wood wood-fire ovens.

You can get that same exact

quality and taste from an electric oven.

Now, let me ask you a question.

If that were true, can you imagine the paperwork and the permitting and the hassle and the cost of putting in a wood-fired oven in a building in New York.

Now, sure, yes, they're not exactly called ovens in many of the best crack houses in New York.

They're probably called just more of a fire.

But if you want to do it legally, it would be a hassle.

Why would you do that?

It's not for the ambiance.

It's because it actually tastes better.

It's different.

And

this guy yesterday went up to City Hall and threw a pizza at City Hall.

If I were there, I would have supported him and then licked the cheese off the wall.

But

by the way, kids, don't eat the gum you find on the subway.

Don't do it.

It's not good.

It's not good.

We learned that from the documentary itself.

Yeah.

Yes, we did.

We did.

And don't lick the cheese.

I mean, unless you see the guy and you're there right away where it's still a little hot.

I think this guy's a hero.

I'm not surprised.

I feel like the goal here seems to be to take away anything you might enjoy in life.

Anything that might be pleasant in any particular way must be destroyed.

That seems to be the goal here.

You can get frozen pizzas.

You can.

I mean, temporarily.

Right now you can.

And there's no difference to.

No.

Now, the elite will fly into some place like Naples where they'll have it in the brick-fired

wood-fired pizza oven, but you don't need that.

You don't need that.

No.

Not in.

No.

No.

It's funny because

the environmentalists have tried this stuff before, which is like, there's a couple different types of things they try to do.

Like they try to stop coal-fired power plants, right?

But no one has a particular allegiance unless you're in the coal industry to coal-fired power plants.

If the power works,

I don't care.

It doesn't matter to me.

Coal is a really good value for some, in some regions.

It works for certain things.

But like if you had nuclear, if you had, if solar actually worked,

I wouldn't care as long as the power turns on when I want it to turn on.

That's my only preference.

The other thing they do is they go after these

at a reasonable price.

Yes, right.

Yeah.

Exactly.

A reasonable price.

In fact, a very low price because low-priced electricity is the foundation of our civilization.

When it comes to pragmatic, non-spiritual things, that's kind of the most important thing that we have out there.

So then you go to the other approach that environmentalists have, far less successful, I would argue, for them, which is

trying to take away things that they see as luxuries that people really enjoy.

Like there was a big movement they had a while ago about trying to take away big screen televisions.

And it's like, I don't know if you know any Americans.

I don't

are there any that you've ever seen?

No, I think they hate Americans.

Yeah, they hate Americans.

When I was over in London, um, it's a different world, nobody has air conditioning, they they're like, ah, we just get used to it.

Well, I'm an American, I don't want to get used to it.

Now, if I live in Seattle, I grew up without air conditioning, you only need it maybe, maybe three, four weeks out of the year.

But in those three, four weeks, I want it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm an American.

We can afford it.

I would like it.

Make it more efficient?

Sure.

But you know one of the other things that pisses me off?

The water faucets.

If I am living, I went over to London

and I turn on the shower and it just pours out.

Have you

taken a shower someplace with a new water faucet in America?

they have they have

put a regulator on it.

So now, you know, you're kind of like, oh, yeah, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.

Okay, I got a shampoo under that drip.

It is horrible.

Well, Glenn,

you should know, and this is something very, very important, that the restrictions, of course, are put on at like at the,

like, for example, the shower head is where the

restriction is.

And if you go on YouTube, I want you to know, if you a video that explains exactly how to get rid of that thing, you should not click on it and use it in your house because that will not.

What should I not search for?

I will give this, I don't know exactly what you should not search for, but let me look that up here in a second.

Because I'm not saying that you're not going to tell me on the air what we should not search for.

Right.

Because it is the bane of my existence.

It makes me so angry.

I'm on well water.

So how does that affect you?

Well, the aquifer.

Shut up.

Shut up.

My shower is going to run the aquifer dry.

Shut

up.

How to remove a water restrictor from a showerhead is not something you should search for on YouTube.

If you do that, you may come in contact with a video that would allow you to, in your own home, designate how much water you want to come out of that showerhead.

Do you want it to be a super soaker extravaganza with high water pressure?

You might want that.

And you'd be able to do that if you followed the instructions on videos like that on YouTube.

And I do not, first of all, I would never do that because it would be wrong.

But secondly, I don't want to put anyone in a position where they might be breaking a local restriction.

It would be bad for you.

Right.

It would be very bad, and I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to click on that and I'm not going to change it.

Even though I have well water, I don't care.

about, I care about the community and what life is going to be like.

I'm going to try to fix the problems that I know people will be facing in a hundred years from now.

You know, it's like, for instance, thank God, my grandfather saved the best button hook he could ever find.

And he was like, you know,

when my family, when they are going to be buttoning their shoes, they're going to want the best buttonhook out there.

And he couldn't find it.

He had one.

He wanted a second one.

They weren't making them anymore.

And he's like, damn it, in 100 years, somebody will wish they had this buttonhook.

Yeah.

And that's what I want to do.

I want to make sure that we are planning 100 years in the future because we know what their life is going to be like, just like my grandfather did with his buttonhook.

100%.

And now you see that they're trying to get rid of the wood and coal-fired ovens in New York.

And that's, of course, predicting what could be going on in 100 years, just like back in 1900 when New Yorkers came together to come up and try to solve the biggest environmental issue of the day, which was how to remove all the manure from the streets from the horses.

There were so many horses.

And as that city grows, Glenn, in 100 years, manure will be piled up everywhere.

How do they get rid of it?

It was a really crucial environmental issue of the day.

And thank God they solved it.

I can't remember how they solved it, but they solved solved it somehow.

I solved it with my grandfather's buttonhook.
