What
And we go into the latest scandal with the FBI.
We also talked to Bjorn Lomberg,
who is
a
guy who believes in climate change but isn't crazy, and Michael Schellenberger, who is the same guy, environmentalist of the year, according to Time magazine, before they started hating him because he wouldn't go along with the madness.
This all is around the special that we have tonight on the climate emergency.
I'm going to show you the countries around the globe that are already in on the great reset and way ahead of us that are literally collapsing.
First one is Sri Lanka.
That's tonight at 9 p.m.
Only on the blaze.
Hey, today's podcast is brought to you by Relief Factor.
I can't tell you the change that it has made in my life.
I had so much pain in my hands that I didn't think I would ever be able to write again.
I love to handwrite letters and handwrite things.
I couldn't do it anymore.
I couldn't hold a pen or a pencil in my hand for more than a minute before my hands would start to cramp up.
It was horrible.
Then I started taking Relief Factor.
I'm painting a storm.
I am writing.
I'm doing anything with my hands that I thought I would never be able to do again, all because of Relief Factor.
I know if you're like me, you're a skeptic, you're like, it's not going to work for me.
That's exactly how I felt.
70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.
I'm one of those people.
It is Relief Factor.

You're listening to
the best of the Glenbeck program.
This is the Glenbeck program.
We're joined now by Pat Gray.
His pronouns are him and her.
I don't know how it works, but
him, her,
by the way, him, her.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I want to tell you, I'll give you an update on the
Chaco Taco
scandal.
Klondike has now decided to drop Chaco tacos, and they won't make them anymore.
I think this is due to their racism against those people that come across the border or who like tacos.
But they're not going to make them.
And yesterday I was pretty upset.
Stu was too.
And
still very upset about this development i luckily i luckily have a crack uh investigative team uh in this case well it was me but um i get to the hard-hitting facts here i want you to know chaco taco not made by klondike chaco taco is a unilever unilever product okay but klondike its own
unilever so yes it actually is still made by klondike
Okay, if you want to play these word games, I'm sorry.
Inflation
starts with two quarters
of
decline of our GDP.
That's what it is, Stu.
That's what it is.
You want to change the language?
Go ahead.
Anyway, evil Unilever.
You're never going to want a Chaco Taco again.
Let me give you some headlines from Bloomberg.
Unilever sees CEO, Universe, Unilever CEO sees Biden victory as a positive for climate change and plans to detail the carbon footprint of all of its products, including Choco Tacos.
Next headline, meet the next George Soros.
Unilever's Paul Pullman uses corporate weight to push progressive causes and globalism.
Next headline, food and consumer goods giant Unilever suspends all imports and exports of products to Russia, including Chaco Taco.
Next headline, top 10 contributors to the Clinton campaign.
The CEO and the guy who started Unilever.
That's right.
That's right.
He is also an advocate for the two-state solution.
Next headline, UN climate conference sponsor Unilever
is among the world's biggest plastic polluters.
That's right.
I think part of Chaco Taco is made of plastic.
And Unilever continues to work in Iran while targeting Facebook for divisiveness.
That's all funded.
All of that hate funded
by you desiring and buying a Chaco Taco.
I say I'm glad they're dead.
Glenn, if Unilever
directly and intentionally released the monkeypox virus, I would still buy Chaco Tacos.
Yes, I'm not saying boycott them.
I'm not saying that.
Okay, I'm just saying they're dead to me, but I can't live without a Chaco taco.
All right, the next one, I would like to talk to
you and Pat about the U.S.
mega millions.
Nobody won.
And now the jackpot is just over $1 billion.
And
I just would like to talk about the scam element of the lotto.
And that is, I think it says everything we need to know about the American people.
No one takes the billion dollars.
They always take the cash payout.
Which is a scam in and of itself, They advertise it as a billion dollars, and then there's a whole different number for what people actually get.
It's a lot lower.
A lot lower.
This one is $602.5 million.
$602.5 million.
So 40%.
So you're leaving.
You are leaving
$400 million on the table.
I think this says that the American people are saying two things.
Yeah,
I don't think the state's going to be able to be around that long.
30 years?
No way.
I'm only going to get less than half of it, so I might as well take less than half now and just enjoy myself.
The other thing it says is possibly, and Stu brought this up, inflation.
Our belief in inflation.
But maybe the belief that this inflation not all that transitory.
Because, you know, they're thinking themselves like, oh, that payment we're giving these people at 30 years.
I mean, it's going to be worth nothing.
It's going to be like $12 we're paying them
at the end of this time.
It's going to say $6 million, but that $6 million payment is going to be worth about 15 cents to the average American today.
So people are like, I know what happens here.
I know you're printing money constantly.
So why wouldn't I take all the money now and at least try to get some interest and investment off of it?
I think that's really the calculation a lot of people are making.
But, you know, you would think that with all of the, because is there a lotto winner that has not destroyed themselves?
No.
Somebody who's won the lotto and is like, I'm going to buy up a really fancy trailer now.
And they just blow all their money on hookers and trailers, I think.
And a nice car.
I'm going to get, I'm going to get...
a Ford Explorer.
And so they blow it on really fancy cars like that.
And before you know, they're broke.
Is there no one who has had the common sense to say, I don't think I could manage that much money, so I'll take it a year at a time.
So I never, for 30 years, I never have to worry about money.
There's nobody that says that?
I think some do.
I don't think it's everybody takes the cash payment, but the overwhelming majority of people do.
And I think, you know, a financial advisor would say, well, you can take all this money, you could throw it in investments, you can make 5%, 10% a year, and it's going to be worth a lot more than this long-term payout.
Will it be worth 40% more?
Well, if you believe, if you, or you know, you're, these are people who are trying to get you to manage their money, like your money.
So like, they're like, yeah, of course, we'll get 10% every year.
It'll be worth a lot more.
I mean, I would be skeptical of that.
I would also be terrified of having that much money at one given time.
You know, like,
I honestly wouldn't even know.
I wouldn't even know what to do with it.
Honestly, it would take research for me to even figure out what I should actually do with that much money.
I mean,
you're only protected for $250,000 per account, right, in the bank.
So
you're going to have to do all sorts of stuff to protect that money.
You'd think, you're right, Glenn, like getting a check, I think it starts with,
I was just reading this.
I think it starts, the first check comes in at like a million dollars and then it escalates each year.
I think maybe it starts at 1.5 million and escalates each year.
And by the end, it's over 6 million, like in your 30 years.
See, I just don't.
So it'll keep up with inflation.
I mean,
that's what they're saying, right?
I mean, do you believe that?
I just don't believe a 30-year payout from any government entity is ever going to be paid out
to your advantage.
Yeah.
If you have a pension, do you believe that you're you're going to be getting all that money?
I mean, I think a lot of people don't, you know, that are in that position.
So do you pay
when they when they take out the 600 is it's no 400 million dollars out of this billion, you still have to pay taxes on the 600 million.
So you're probably only getting
300, I mean, only getting, but you, that's really only 300 million.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, how do you make ends meet on that?
Well,
this is the problem, though.
What you just did is the problem.
This is how they get away with it, right?
Like, you know, and the
initial payout for the full option is $602.5 million.
And everyone says, well, I mean, I know they said they were going to get me a billion, but I'm only getting $600 million.
What am I going to do?
Complain about $600 million?
And then you pay taxes, much of it going back to the same source you supposedly supposedly won the money from.
Yeah.
Then you're down to about $350, $350 million.
$350 million.
And then you say, oh, well, I'm still getting $350 million.
That's a lot of money.
And that's true.
However, they've scammed you now out of the game.
70% is gone.
70% of the money they were supposedly giving you.
Can you imagine having any other product being able to get away with that kind of scam, where 70%
of what they said they were going to give to you is gone?
Would they be dragged into false advertising court?
Like, think of like some shady supplement that makes big claims about
healing your diseases or whatever.
Even when they don't even directly say it, like it'll be like, well, you know, take this and it'll help X, Y, and Z and you'll solve all these big health problems.
Like these, they get dragged
all the time.
Like the coronavirus
vaccine, then?
That's what we're talking about?
Of course, Glenn.
That was exactly the point I was making.
Thank you for bringing it up.
This happens all the time.
People have been stopped from
producing products for the rest of their lives because they go onto shady cable channels and run advertising.
You don't even have to be.
You don't even have to be shady, Stu.
You've got, you know,
ads, 60-second ads, where they are forced to say, you might die from this erection.
Right.
I mean,
it's true.
All of this.
And they don't have to say any of this.
They just say, yeah, it's a billion dollars.
It's pretty exciting.
And then in very small print underneath, it says, actually, it's only $600 million.
And then you pay taxes and you're down to $300 million.
Plus, of course, every time if you just let that money sit in the bank and it gets your 0.1% interest, you might be getting.
When that money comes in, you're going to have to pay taxes on that too.
And then when you spend the money, you're going to have to get taxed.
You know, when you buy that yacht, you're going to have to get another sales tax on top of it.
Here's one of the changes I want to, because I don't want a great reset.
I want a great reboot.
So we just turn the machine off and turn the machine on again, okay?
And all the bugs, and we reset to the original programming.
Here's something that drives me out of my mind.
My house tax and my property tax.
I never really own my property ever.
No.
No, ever.
I mean, I could pay my property off, but I don't really own it.
And if I don't pay my income tax, I lose my house.
This is, that's a total scam.
It's bigger than the lotto.
And then, and then, on top of that, when you die, now they're going to stick you with another tax.
Because you died, we're going to take half of your.
everything you accumulated when you were alive.
It's so immoral and wrong.
I don't know how
we've allowed them to get away with it.
No, and
all it does is keep the people who have vast sums of money.
It keeps them in power and wealth because they're never going to, there's no retro.
Your grandfathered in.
If your grandfather was Nelson Rockefeller, don't worry about it.
You've got money for the rest of your life and your children and your children's children's lives.
But we've got to stop these people from being able to gather money and do this.
You know, do exactly what we've done for generations now.
All right, back in a minute.
Thanks, Pat.
Pat Gray from Pat Gray unleashed.
This is the best of the Glenbeck program.
So, Stu, there is a very, very, very
important article that I found on CNBC.
Here's how to recognize a recession, and it's not what you think.
Now,
I'm only 50, what, 7, 58 years old.
So, it's almost 60 years of knowing what a recession is because that's what they've said to us forever.
Until the progressives took over.
Now, we need to redefine what a a recession is.
For instance, it's, yeah, sure, sure, it's two quarters of the economy, the GDP, contracting, two quarters in a row.
We've always defined it like that.
Although, we've also known that there are other factories, other factors that go into it.
But they're saying this is not a recession, and we won't know if this is a recession for at least a year.
Oh,
okay.
So
just about the time that all the elections are over, in between the next election and this election, that's when we'll find out.
Definitely not near an election.
Okay, all right.
So they're saying that
this is the incorrect term.
I think everybody knows we're in a recession.
And I don't care what you call it, but this is what a recession feels like.
In fact,
I think a crisis is probably a better definition of a recession.
But I don't care what you call it.
It's what it feels like and what it actually is that matters.
You know, it's like people saying, oh my gosh, there's a huge pod of octopi coming our way.
Actually,
it's octopuses.
No, it's octopi.
It's octopuses.
You're both going going to be dead with the huge pod of octopuses coming your way if you're arguing about the stupid turn.
I don't care what you call it.
Lots of things with eight legs are swimming towards us quickly.
So now they're saying that
we'd be laughing stocks if we said that we had a recession when we were creating 400,000 jobs a month.
Although that's...
Not true.
Were you saying that the job number, it didn't have 400,000?
Yes.
But what I'm saying is a lot of those jobs, A, aren't created.
They're not like, you know what?
We're going to build a tower to the sky.
Which, don't get me wrong, I think the progressives might at some point propose, we're going to build a big tower to the sky.
No, these are jobs like, can somebody please
the job at the filator, please?
These are old jobs that we still haven't filled.
And so the jobs that are not being created, but are now being filled, in many cases, are being filled by a person who already has another full-time job.
And I love the...
I love the
Twitter responses on this one from the blue check marks this week.
I said that Monday.
And the blue check marks, they didn't argue with the fact, because the fact is the fact.
So they just said,
that's just, that's not Biden's fault.
That just means those jobs suck.
Wait, that just means that those two jobs suck?
Well, doesn't every Republican get that charge that, yeah, but their
comeback, their growth is all with low-paying fast food jobs?
Okay, so that's not the critique this time.
The critique is somehow or another,
the main job that people have sucks and doesn't pay them enough, so they have to take another crappy job.
Okay, okay, okay.
Well, why are there only crappy jobs?
Hey, maybe because
we're not building a tower to reach the sky.
This happens all the time, and it is so important.
When you can't win the argument, you just change the language.
Men can have babies.
All right, well, then I don't ever want to be left out of the abortion debate ever again.
Men can have babies.
That's not a baby, that's a fetus.
Can you please look up the Latin definition of the word fetus?
Because because I think it means baby?
They change the words all the time.
Now listen, this administration is changing some critical words.
For instance, recession.
Why?
Because we're in one.
And it's not advantageous for them
to say we're in.
recession so change the meaning how about this one we're surrounded surrounded by domestic terrorists.
Now, we all know what a domestic terrorist is.
We all know what terrorism is.
Terrorism is creating fear through some sort of an incident
that is aimed to change a policy of a person, a corporation, or
a country.
Some sort of threat or actual use of violence to change policies.
That's what terrorism is.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that would include, I think, marching at night threatening our Supreme Court justice.
It would also include those who went in on January 6th and actually bust down the door and were threatening people.
Yes, that would be terrorism too.
Parading as a grandmother on January 6th, because that's what a lot of people are being charged with.
Parading, that's not terrorism.
That's parading.
Do you know that I don't think anyone at any time in any country in the history of mankind have ever said that parents showing up at a meeting saying, hey, guys,
you're teaching my kid to question their own sexuality and whether they're a male or a female.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Terrorist.
There's nobody that's ever defined a parent caring about his child as a terrorist until now.
So we've had that change.
We've had the change.
This is all from the Biden administration.
We've had the change of the word insurrectionist.
Now, what is insurrection
because I would define that as people who are plotting a hostile takeover of the country
which isn't what the right is doing it's what the left is doing it's what Antifa does you know along with terrorism
How about voter suppression?
That's a new one.
That's a new one.
We all know what voter suppression is.
Somebody standing at the polls going,
I don't think you're going to vote today, boy.
That's voter suppression.
Saying, no,
I don't think Mark Zuckerberg should pay to have these collection boxes
there out, you know, all throughout the community, and we should change the way we're voting is voter suppression.
That's just called going back to the way it always has been.
The other word that he's changed is illegal alien.
Now,
we used to say those are people who are migrants who are entering the country illegally.
Alien, not meaning those from outer space, but those from another country.
They are alien to our country, just like an American in Germany is an alien to Germans.
Got it?
It's not a derogatory thing.
It's just the definition of what that person is in that country that is foreign to them.
So alien is under attack, has been under attack for a while, but now we have undocumented citizens or...
non-citizen and the new language saying that they're a non-citizen I don't know how inclusive that really is.
I mean, it sounds pretty
dehumanizing myself.
I mean, you're a non-citizen, so what does that make me?
Nothing?
These are, these are going, illegal aliens are going to be defined
as voters soon.
So they're changing the language.
Because what was it, Sarah, that Michelle Obama said years ago?
Something that Barack.
And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
We are going to have to change our conversation.
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
We're going to have to move into a different place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here's another thing that Biden is changing.
The definition of pro-police.
Now, what does
anti-police mean?
Let's start there.
Anti-police.
That would be someone who says
we should abolish the cops.
All policemen are dirty.
All policemen are racist.
That they just higgledy-piggledy, get up in the morning, throw their badge on, even if they're still just wearing a towel.
They're so excited to go out and just shoot black people.
That, I think, would be anti-police.
But Biden is changing this.
If you're anti-police, you're someone who disagrees with his
gun bans.
That makes you anti-police.
Now, I'm trying to figure that out because
I don't think it's an AR that is shooting policemen.
I mean, you could say, well, it's just anti-people.
It's anti-school safety.
You could say that.
It wouldn't be accurate, but you could say that.
Anti-police?
Why is he changing the definition of the word anti-police?
Because we're riddled with crime.
They have to blame the gun.
Because the gun is tied directly in people's minds to red state people.
Red state people are Donald Trump people.
So you make it all about the gun because the people in the cities they understand how to stay safe.
Really?
Do you, New York?
Do you?
Is that really?
Hmm?
I didn't.
Wow, that's news to me.
Oh, by the way, when you change the language,
you can then claim that you're a big part in making gas prices so much lower and people are are happy about it.
That's the latest claim from Joe Biden.
We now have 40,000 gas stations in the United States where the price of gas is only $3.99.
Oh my gosh.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for that.
By the way, $3.99
is still the highest Americans have ever paid for gas.
Some restrictions apply, Hawaii and California not included.
399.
Let's celebrate, everybody.
You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Hey, Stu, does it make me some sort of a bigot for asking the question if monkeypox is spread mainly, mainly
um you know amongst the gay community and it is branching out how come no one will tell us why the two children have it and it's not that i i mean i just want to know that it those children got it from a parent who was snuggling with them or whatever and i'm sure that's the case but i so distrust the media
i i just i i would like to know all of the facts of things now
I don't think there's any problem with wanting to know all the facts
at all.
I think it's important to know the facts.
I think one of the issues with monkeypox is it's not an STD.
So I think some people are getting that confusion.
Yeah.
Right.
It's skin to skin, prolonged skin to skin.
It has to be more than a handshake, but it's absolutely, you're cuddling on the couch with your kids and your face are right next to each other, you know, or you're, you know, whatever.
You're sitting there laying with them on the couch.
They don't have to be naked or anything else.
Right, right.
But I just,
they won't say how these kids contracted it, which is, I think, kind of important because it's not a sexually transmitted disease.
Right.
And if the answer is maybe it can be passed, like, for example, maybe you have an if one of your so a monkeypox sore is open in some way, maybe it can be passed in much shorter contact.
And if that's true, it's very important for people to know, right?
Like, you know,
I heard an interview with a guy,
it was the New York Times podcast or maybe ABC News, where they were talking about to a guy who had monkeypox, and he's doing much, much better now.
And he had apparently, apparently, he said it was incredibly painful, and he had, you know, sores all over his body, and apparently really, really rough.
But he's now feeling much, much better.
And he has only one more sore left or pimple left from monkeypox.
It's in the palm of his hand.
And I was like,
you should know when he's shaking hands.
I know they were all over us on COVID to not shake hands with people, but it might be something you want to consider in the situation.
But they were saying that if you were to shake hands with this person and then, for example, touch your eyes, you could still pass it that way, which, you know,
that's obviously significant.
But we should know.
Yeah, you should know.
We should know.
We should know.
There's a, you know, there's a
White House press conference in the Rose Garden today.
The president is clear of COVID now,
and so we're glad to hear that.
But he's going to tell us all about COVID today in the Rose Garden, which I think is so great.
I wish, honestly, I think probably he's better now because he has such a great doctor in Jill Biden.
She's an amazing doctor, really.
Well, don't take it from me.
Here's Whoopi Goldberg on Jill Biden.
And Dr.
Jill becomes a surgeon general.
Yeah,
Joe Biden's wife, because she, you know, she would never do it, but she, yeah, she's a hell of a doctor.
She's an amazing doctor.
A doctor and PhD.
I don't know.
Stop just a second.
Okay, so
she's an amazing doctor.
She has a PhD in education.
So, I mean, I just, it's one thing, by the way, this is, she's already apologized for this.
This is an old clip of Whoopi, but
it is amazing to me that she says she's a doctor and an amazing doctor with authority, like she knows.
Like, she, I, I had a physical with her, and it was fun.
It was fun.
And she found leprosy and treated it before it ever became a problem.
She's an amazing doctor.
You have no information.
She's a PhD in education.
That's such a great clip because it shows how they talk about this stuff every single day on the air
on that particular show and many others.
But like, she literally has no information of whether she's a good doctor or not.
She only has a positive impression because she's married to a Democrat.
That is literally all she knows about the situation.
And she's trying to convince millions of people that this person is
a surgeon general based on that.
Right.
That's how dumb these people are.
And I can speak to this.
Yeah, you are a doctor.
I can speak on, because I am a doctor.
I'm a doctor.
And whoopie, anytime you need surgery, call me.
By the way, Vogue just did a piece on
Olena Zelensky.
That is the wife.
of the leader of Ukraine.
She's on the front page.
And, you know, it's really nice because I remember when
another foreigner was on the front page who did some amazing things.
What was her name?
Melania Trump.
Oh, no, wait.
She wasn't on the cover of Vogue or any magazine.
Hmm.
That's weird, seeing that she was a model and everything.
But she's not a doctor.
So, by the way, Ukraine is the friendliest place on earth.
Vladimir Zelensky has come out and said that he would like
Ukraine
to charge JPMorgan,
Chase, Citi, HSBC.
He wants them prosecuted for war crimes
because they are still doing business in Russia and with Russia.
And normally, I think war crimes is a, you know, some, it has to have a pretty high threshold there.
And some ally of ours, huh?
But anyway,
in this case,
I don't really have a problem with the banks being charged with war crimes.
You know?
Now, maybe it's not based entirely on what they're doing with Russia, but
St.
Louis is being sued after the mayor signed a bill using COVID relief to fund abortion travel costs.
Now, I know when we voted for COVID relief, oh, we didn't.
Well, I know when they voted for COVID relief and they said, you know, these states really need it.
I didn't think like three years later they'd still have a bunch of it laying around that the city could go, hey, here's something we can do with that money
and pay for abortions, but
hey, no big deal.
Beverly Hills City Council has voted to not enforce LA County mask mandates.
Never thought I would be all right, Beverly Hills.
But I am.
And this one from CNN, by the way, tomorrow,
tomorrow, an epic takedown of CNN.
An epic takedown.
They wrote a story about Christian nationalism.
Oh, no.
That really, it's white Christian nationalism.
That, I mean, if you're a member of a church and it's, you know, it's not all progressive, you're just part of this Christian nationalist movement and
you should be eliminated.
Well, anyway, they wrote that on Sunday, and the article is still trending on Twitter.
And I didn't respond to it on Sunday because I wanted to do some research with something that CNN
would have in the old days recognized as facts.
An epic takedown of that article.
Read it, be prepared, because it's insane.
And I have the actual documents and records to prove it.
But CNN has also said now, red states are building a nation within a nation.
The case was just the latest example of how red states, supported by Republican-appointed judges, are engaging in a multifront offensive to seize control of national policy, even while Democrats hold the White House and
nominally control both houses of the House and the Senate.
Red states are moving a social policy sharply to the right within their own borders on issues from abortion to LGBTQ rights to classroom censorship while simultaneously working to hobble the ability of either the federal government or their own largest metro areas to set a different course.
To a degree that was once just a decade ago unimaginable, this broad offensive increasingly looks like an effort to define a nation within a nation, one operating with a set of rules and policies that diverge from the rest of America more than almost any previous era.
Well, any previous era that was
post-the progressive era.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Any era really past
1990.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is what we call constitutional rights.
You should read about it, CNN.
It's in the Bill of Rights, and you can find that.
Just Google.
It's very hard to find and understand when you read it, too.
It's so hard.
There are words on the page.
But just specifically look at the
9th and, well, the 8th, 9th, and 10th amendment to the Constitution, and you'll understand that states have the right
to do that.
And the federal government, for instance, healthcare, cannot give you that right because that right is not in the Constitution and they don't print rights.
God gives us rights.
So, a state that wants to do health care, they can do that.
I have no problem with the state of Massachusetts doing it.
The reason why states don't do it is because it doesn't financially work unless you can print money.
So, that's why they've kicked it up to the federal level because economically it doesn't work.
So if a state wants to do it, they have that right because
of the Bill of Rights.
And it's supposed to be 50 little petri dishes, 50 little different experiments.
We're all supposed to be able to do things the way we want.
Why should I have to live like California lives?
Why does California get to dictate to me what I'm doing in Texas?
For instance,
in California, they just, well, they didn't actually pass a bill.
It was just one of the regulatory agencies in California that decided they had the power to start taking and billing you for the water that you have on your property if you have a well.
Now, I understand if I'm buying the water from some city project, you know, if I'm getting the water from a dam someplace else, yeah you should charge me for the water because the state put the infrastructure in and everything else
but when it comes to water on my land
that's when we in Texas say get the hell off my land
but why should I live like California they're insane and the people in California think we're insane That's fine.
Once in a while, maybe we'll visit each other.
You know, and we'll say, Those people are crazy.
They're good people.
They're good people.
But they're crazy.
And I wouldn't want to live there.
Lot of Californians say that about Texas.
Wouldn't want to live there.
Lot of Texans say that about California.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
We don't have to live there.
Don't tell me what I can do and what I have to do, and I won't tell you.
It's crazy.
It's really crazy.
