Uh, Gale, we uh we cover it all today.
We've got Mike Leon with us to talk a little bit about
Amy Coney Barrett and what's happening in the Senate.
He's got some really amazing things to say about Donald Trump, amazing things to say about Amy Coney Barrett, which I've never heard.
It was like Mike was drunk.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't.
I'm positive he wasn't.
But it was like, I mean, he was,
the two greatest endorsements I think I've ever heard him give happen on this program today.
We also have an update on how the election is being stolen.
We get into how you can prevent that, how you can help catch them red-handed.
Also, we go to the priest and Dominatrix who had sex on the altar.
She now says she's having nightmares.
Huh, huh.
It's shocking.
Wonder what caused that.
I mean,
all on today's podcast.
And a big show coming up tonight, Glenn, about the election.
Wow.
You might watch it.
Well, you could go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
That's a network I'm on.
You could use the promo code save our election.
Wow, sounds important.
You're going to save 20 bucks off.
Holy cow.
And the other thing I will say is you'll get, and this happens every Wednesday, back-to-back, Stew Does America, right into the Glenn Beck program.
Wow, how cool is that?
I'm so interested.
And then all of a sudden.
He lost you.
You lost me.
Okay, I'm sorry.
But you can get that on Blaze TV.
Also, make sure to subscribe to this podcast and Studos America.
Rate and review them as well.
We appreciate it.
You don't have to watch the Stew Show right before mine.
I don't.
I don't know why you're making.
I mean, I think they could figure that out.
I don't know why you're.
You're listening to
the best of the Glenbeck program.
There's something wrong with Amy Coney Barrett.
She's good looking.
She's really smart.
She's highly accomplished.
She's a good mother.
She can raise all of her kids to be successful and smart.
She's good at her faith.
Stop hogging it all, Amy.
Stop hogging it all.
Leave some scraps for the rest of us.
There's got to be something there.
Yeah.
There's got to be something terrible.
That's Why do we have the
notorious ACB t-shirt that Stu is modeling for us right now?
Wow, sales are nosediving.
Stop modeling it, Stu.
Why are people who have previously purchased it returning it?
Stop modeling it.
It's the notorious ACB t-shirt.
You can get it at the
Glenbeck store, the Stew store, Blaze store, wherever.
All fine notorious ACB t-shirts are sold.
Shop.blazemedia.com.
That's a dumbest address ever.
You can go to stewdoesmerch.com.
That's not a better address.
It's at least shorter.
Yeah.
Go to the Glendale.
Yeah, it is.
Okay.
Anyway, we have Senator Mike Lee joining us now,
who we have asked him to be in a diving bell because we don't want to get his COVID cooties, and we welcome him now.
Hello, Mike.
Hello.
It's good to join you from the diving bell 4,000 feet underwater.
Yeah, first of all, how are you feeling?
Much better.
Thank you.
Good.
Yeah, I've had access to good doctors and lots of breasts doing well.
Thank you.
Yeah, good.
All right.
So
Amy Coney Barrett is from
all angles here.
We're watching her and we're like, she's amazing.
Am I wrong about this?
She really is.
She really is.
I mean,
if one wants to feel inferior as a human being,
one need only watch Amy Coney Barrett in action.
And this is somebody who makes me feel worthless as a human being.
I always feel like, wow, I'm the dumbest guy ever after talking to Mike Lee.
And you feel that way about, good, now you know what the rest of us feel like talking to you.
Okay?
Well, she can take law nerd stuff and make it cool.
Yeah, she can.
Law nerd stuff and make it sound simple.
Yeah.
And
she does all this while raising seven kids and while teaching at Dotter Dame.
I mean, it's it's incredible.
I want you to
see her equivalent.
I want you to ask her if her husband ever suspects that all those children aren't his because they're different color.
Does he not notice that?
I mean, I think she's been fooling around on him.
You should ask him.
You should ask her.
On the record in committee for action.
Yes, yes.
Hey, just going off
yesterday's questioning where they asked if you've ever been a rapist.
I just want to know.
What's up with your kids?
Can we go back to something Senator Lee just said, though?
You've never seen her equivalent?
I mean, that is, considering the circles you run in, that's a pretty amazing statement.
Look, when you look at the overall package of what she presents, personally, academically,
intellectually, and as a jurist, she's really quite amazing.
And
we've been very impressed by both of President Trump's two previous nominees to the Supreme Court.
But Judge Barrett has managed to set a new standard that's going to be difficult to ever exceed.
Mike, I remember hearing the Bork
nomination and the hearing, and I thought he was good.
And then I heard the Clarence Thomas, and I felt the same way about him.
That's the last time I have felt this way about a hearing, at least one that I remember.
I don't remember, the Scalia hearing.
Is there a chance she is cut from the Thomas Scalia and that's who she's going to be we're going to have two Thomases on the
look I think she is going to be a Thomas Scalia alito
she's cut out of those three and I'm sure you were you you would have mentioned that confirmation hearing as well the the Alito confirmation hearing was fantastic one of the best in American history she will be right in line with those three justices which is exactly what President Trump promised to nominate and exactly what I'd like to see.
So she's not going to recuse herself.
I mean, the Democrats are counting on the Supreme Court.
She's not going to recuse herself if she goes up.
What?
From
look, they're asking her to recuse herself from basically any case they might care about.
Right.
Anything that you would rule against us, could you recuse yourself?
Right.
Yeah.
And as I pointed out to them, that is, once she is confirmed as a member of the U.S.
Supreme Court, she's no less a justice than any of the other justices.
And, you know, I'm sure a case may come up from time to time where, for whatever reason, she's got a recusal.
But you guys have a wish list a mile long of everything they want her to step away from.
That's not realistic.
So, Mike, how realistic is it that the sorry, Senator, we're talking to Senator Mike Lee.
Mike, Mike.
How realistic is it that they are this the Democrats are going to try to make sure that there's no quorum so you can't hold a vote?
I don't know.
We will see.
There have been rumors back and forth about that all week long.
I don't want to show our cards too much.
My wife says that I need to learn to have a poker face because sometimes I tend to show them.
So I'm not going to show them here, but I will say this.
We've got plenty of tricks up our sleeve if they try to pull that stunt.
I hope they won't be that foolish, but if they are,
we can play back at that game.
We're going to get it confirmed.
I hope that is
a really accurate statement coming from you.
I would guess it is.
Because I know there's nothing that they hate more.
You remember, Stu, when
they were threatening to call me in front of Congress to testify in front of Congress?
That would have been awesome, by the way.
I know.
And I got on the air and I said, oh, please do it.
Do it.
Please do it.
And all of a sudden,
that talk stopped.
So,
you know, if what I'm hearing you say is, oh, please, Democrats, please do it.
Can you tell me two other things I'm concerned about?
The election
and the holding of the Senate.
How worried are you about that?
I'm worried to the degree of 12 on both of them.
And that's on a 12-point scale, so that's a lot of worry.
It's worse if it was an eight-point scale.
Right.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'm very concerned on both fronts because you guys
have conceived of and planned out some really long-term
deviancy for our system of government.
One of the first things they want to do is nuke the filibuster, which means that it will no longer require 60 votes to end debate.
And so they'll be able to pass basically any kind of legislation they want with a simple majority.
And then they're going to add PC and Puerto Rico as states.
And then they're going to pack the Supreme Court.
The combined effect of those three actions is going to change our system of government basically
for the foreseeable future and make it such that it will be very difficult to
recover that same ground.
Very difficult for Republicans or conservatives ever to have a meaningful voice in the process for decades to come.
That concerns me a lot.
Our republic is over.
If they pack the court, there is no balance of power.
That becomes a legislative branch and our system of government is over.
Is that too much hyperbole?
Well,
it's maybe a little bit strong,
but it's not inaccurate in the sense that for the foreseeable future, that'll become the new norm.
And see, one of the reasons that worries me with the court,
while it's technically not unconstitutional for them to do that, it's just wildly
inappropriate.
and very destructive of the constitutional order.
What I mean by that is once they increase the number of seats in the court, you can't take away those seats.
You can't take them away.
You have to wait until the person dies, retires, or is impeached and removed.
That hardly ever happens.
And so as a practical matter, those seats are now permanent.
The next time a Republican majority in the House and the Senate and a Republican sits in the White House, there will be overwhelming pressure to do the same.
And then you'll have this one-way ratchet effect of everybody just increasing the number of seats on the Supreme Court, and it will become a political body that leads to the diminution of rights.
That's a problem.
Talking to Senator Mike Lee.
Mike, did you ⁇
Ben Sasse was on yesterday, and he mentioned a constitutional amendment to just hold it and just set the number at nine forever.
Are you on board for that?
I would hope that we wouldn't need a constitutional amendment to do that.
I would not be opposed to the idea of setting that through the Constitution.
It's not a bad idea.
But in the meantime, obviously, we're not going to get that done if we have a president and a Democratic majority in the House and the Senate bent on not doing that.
Because right now, that's what they plan to do.
And it's one of the reasons why people need to continue asking Joe Biden what his plans are in that regard.
Every time he denies it, we need to take that as yes.
And we need to use that as a way to defeat him.
I was talking to somebody who is a big Washington watcher, and they say that the GOP, some in the GOP, are just waiting for Trump to be defeated.
And that way they can get back to regular GOP business.
Is the GOP supporting the president and fighting as hard as you think they should be?
Well, the GOP, first of all, is defined not as
the leadership of the Republican National Committee or even as Republican senators and Republican congressmen.
The GOP consists of Republican voters throughout America, people who actually make the difference, who show up and vote and make those decisions.
And my sense is that, yes, GOP is overwhelmingly in support of this president because they see, regardless of whether they agree with everything he says,
what he has done really has made America a better place in which to live.
He really has done what he promised to do as far as draining the swamp.
I look forward to him having another four years to do that.
I will tell you, Mike, I appreciate your honesty.
You know, you and I were on the same page with with Donald Trump.
And,
you know, you had to work with him firsthand.
And you turned before I did because you were seeing firsthand the things that he was keeping his promises on.
And
it takes a big person, especially in your role, to say you were wrong about him and you're supporting him now.
Yeah, yeah, look, four years ago,
and I didn't trust him.
I didn't believe that he meant the things he was saying.
And
it's easy when you don't know someone to criticize them, to attack them, and not to trust them.
And frankly, in this business, the business of politics,
there are good reasons not to trust someone before you know them.
But I've gotten to know him.
And he's a man of his word.
He says what he means and he does what he tells you he's going to do.
In this business, that's refreshing.
It's meant the world to me.
And I love the guy.
I don't agree with
everything he does, but I like him.
I genuinely trust what he says he is going to do
because he's proven again and again and again his willingness to do so even against great adversity.
He's also proven his understanding of the fact that oftentimes this is more than just Democrat versus Republican.
This is Washington, D.C.
versus everyone else.
And it's been a long time since we've had an advocate like that in the White House.
That sounds like the COVID talking right there.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Mike, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.

We want to tell you this Hunter Biden story.
Now, I told you about the
smoking gun emails that are on this hard drive, and you can find them at newyorkpost.com.
The emails
on how Hunter Biden was introducing
the board members and the leadership of Burisma to their dad, and the email asking, hey, can you swing some of your support with us and kind of influence your dad on this and that?
All things that they've denied happen
before.
All of these documents were found on this hard drive.
Now, the
other part, and I didn't mention this before because
it is
salacious, and I haven't seen the videos, and I'm the guy who told you deep fakes could be a very big danger.
So I want to couch this with,
I don't know anything about this, but apparently, there is a 12-minute video of Hunter Biden, who's admitted struggling with
addiction problems, smoking crack while engaged in a sex hack with an unidentified woman.
That's just too much stimulation right there.
Just one or the other.
The sex with an unidentified woman or smoke crack, you really don't need both at the same time.
So, there is a picture from the hard drive, and it is clearly Hunter Biden.
Now,
again, again, don't know.
We haven't seen it all.
We haven't done the fact-checking on that in the background.
And I don't know how you do the fact-checking because
this, there are two.
But here's the thing we should also point out.
This picture and this video might be completely fake, though we know that thing has happened.
Yes, so it's not like a crazy accusation.
Correct, correct.
The only thing that honestly matters about that is not that he was smoking crack while hooking up with random women, it's that that it would actually identify it as a potentially as a legitimate hard drive.
Right.
The question is, are these emails legitimate?
And this is, you know, the idea being that this laptop that was dropped off at a computer repair shop for water damage with a Bo Biden charitable foundation sticker on it.
But the shop owner can't quite remember if it was Hunter Biden who dropped it off.
And
he's tried to communicate with the person who's dropped it off many times, but still can't remember if that person he's tried to communicate with is Hunter Biden.
Now, you'd think his name would be on the paperwork or the receipt if it was him who dropped it off.
And I'm not saying that that means this information is fake at all.
What I'm saying is
this is a whistleblower or something, right?
Like someone either has stolen the laptop or has had the information through some other means and intentionally dropped this off in a place that they knew would somehow find its way to Rudy Giuliani or whoever.
Okay, so I...
What do you think about that theory?
I think that that is probably...
Well,
I don't want to comment on whether or not
what the odds are because I don't know.
The story just broke yesterday.
Right.
So
I want to be really, really careful because I don't want to
soil all of the hard work we've done over the last year to get this story right and then have it destroyed by this.
Sure.
But I will tell you this.
The whistleblowers that we know of, that we have dealt with on this, who have given us information, very high-level people in Ukraine.
One of them
has
just disappeared.
Now, we know he's alive because he's contacted us, but he will not tell us where in the world he is because
he delivered something, we think.
He delivered something to the Senate.
And
we don't know what it is.
This is a theory.
We don't know what it is.
We don't know if that is even what it is.
But we know after he went to the Senate,
all of a sudden his visa was revoked by the State Department.
Well, this has something to do with the state department because it's ukraine that is all about the state department our embassies hillary clinton joe biden all of it so did the deep state revoke his visa he thinks yes
and he said uh he has left the ukraine and he's not going back to the ukraine because he's afraid for his life he's like i'm a dead man i'm a dead man so i think that that
you're not saying this guy did this.
No, no, no.
You're not saying that.
But I'm not,
it wouldn't surprise me if somebody who had the information said, how do I get this to the White House?
How do I get this to the press?
Because I'm not going to drop it off.
You know, I don't want to be involved in this at all.
And they either stole the laptop or they had that, as you said, and
put this on to cover their tracks and pique enough interest from the guy at the computer store,
knowing that if he's a Trump supporter, he's not going to give this to the FBI and let it be buried.
He's going to give it to the newspapers and he's going to give it to the White House, which is exactly what he did.
And that does seem to be more plausible.
I mean,
there's
some chance that it's totally made up, right?
It could be fake.
It could be that's the way that they're doing this and, you know, it's some foreign influence operation.
There's all these possibilities,
but I mean, it
doesn't seem like the way it's being reported in the New York Post is a possibility.
It's just so out of the norm.
But again, if you're a whistleblower, if you're if you've come across these communications and you need to get them to
someone in power, this seems like a way, you know, this is how it would be done in the movies for lack of
an actual
ability to report.
I can't tell you what it was, but this is certainly not
like you just
Hunter Biden.
Now, he is a guy who is on heavy drugs all the time,
reportedly, and has struggled with them.
It wouldn't be completely impossible for him to actually just walk into a computer repair store with his brother's sticker on his computer with water damage, turn it in.
I dropped this and I'll be back in
a couple of weeks to pick it up.
This is a guy who returned a rental car with white powder on the dashboard.
So this is not beyond the possibility.
It just doesn't seem likely.
Right, right.
Well, it's in the hands of the FBI now.
So the FBI is doing an investigation.
What that means, FBI, I have no idea.
But so it is in the hands of the FBI.
So
we'll watch this story to see.
But I will tell you this.
You know, Stu, that there were
probably three times that my life
became a Jason Bourne movie where it was like.
Except with a lot less physical activity.
Yes.
But it was, it was, we would look at each other and go, this is a movie.
This isn't real.
This cannot be real.
And it was.
And
someday I'll write a book and talk about all that stuff but uh
it it was real and you're like
that
what and we couldn't even process the things yeah that security was telling us because we're like no that no that's a mo that's not it can't happen that way it does happen that way um and one of the things i think i've talked about this before the washington post style section yeah
it was one of you know one of those movies movie moments where you're like, that can't be true.
A message was sent in an article to somebody who knew how to read it to get a message to me, layoff Van Jones.
He's leaving the White House.
And they came to me and said, okay, lay off Van Jones.
I'm like, what?
And they're like, he's leaving the White House.
And I'm like, well, but that's not what I wanted in the first place.
I wanted an explanation of why, how did this communist get in there?
And I said,
what do you mean?
Did you get a phone call or what?
He said, no, it's in the Washington Post style section.
And I said, the style section.
And he said, that is traditionally the way the White House sends messages to people around the world who are in the know.
And if you ever see a political story involving the White House in the style section, that's the the place where when the Washington Post had any credibility,
they said, I can't remember which president started it, but they said, we need to get this story out.
And the Washington Post said, no, we won't put a planted story in.
We're a newspaper.
And they said, how about the style section?
Because that's not really news, right?
And so there was this, I guess, agreement.
This is at least the story I was told.
The agreement between the Washington Post and the White House for years that if you really need an important story to get out, you could put it in there.
Well, that's where
this
story was, and it didn't belong in the style section.
And so it made total sense.
That kind of spook stuff happens.
It really does happen.
And it's not beyond
reason to think that somebody stole that or some operative was like, I can get it to the White House and I can get it to the press and it will eventually go to the FBI.
Just give me the laptop.
I'll take care of it.
I mean, that, unfortunately,
as weird and as unbelievable as it sounds, that's the kind of stuff that happens in Washington, D.C.
all the time.
I mean, everybody I've ever talked to in Washington, D.C.,
everyone
says
House of Cards is exactly, without the killing, they said it's exactly the way Washington is.
If you watched that,
that's terrifying.
Yeah, that's truly terrifying.
But everybody said the same thing: it's that that is what it is, just without the killing.
And I always followed it up with
that you know of or are willing to admit.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
We're all concerned about this election being stolen,
votes being shifted.
We're finding ballots now in garbage bags, in the homes of postal workers.
I mean,
it's really, truly astonishing what's going on, and half the country doesn't seem to care.
Maybe that's because we've all been hypnotized.
As crazy as that sounds, that is what big tech can do now, is they can convince you of things that
you don't even, you don't believe, and you will think it's your own free will.
You're being manipulated every day.
All of us are.
Dr.
Robert Epstein is with us now, and his website is stopbigtechnow.com.
He has been setting up a project to be able to monitor
these search engines to prove that they are manipulating the election.
Are you finding that yet, Doctor?
We're finding a few things so far.
I do have to say, first of all, Glenn, that if it weren't for you and your listeners and your viewers,
we wouldn't have a project this year.
You and your people have pretty much funded the entire project and we're still short of funds.
But
it's sad and also wonderful because without you, literally, these companies would just be getting away with murder.
And so, yes, we have now built a system.
It's too small.
We need to scale it up so that it's taken seriously.
So our data are taken seriously by authorities and by mainstream media.
But yes, we are now monitoring.
Beyond the search engines, I should say, and
we're looking at lots of things now.
I can't give you the full list, obviously.
We're finding lots of evidence of bias.
And we're finding something else, which I think will probably not surprise you, but it surprised me and that is I think these companies are shifting away from the presidential race because I think they they know they have a lock on the the popular vote there and they also know that Trump could still get a second term of course because of the House of Representatives or because of state legislatures or the Supreme Court So they're shifting away and they're moving to the Senate races.
That is what they're focusing on.
Because if they can get a lock on the Senate, then even if Trump gets a second term, he has no power.
If they win the White House and the Senate and
the House,
I mean,
they will pack the court, they will add states,
and
their guardians, the media, and now big tech, you'll never see a conservative ever gain power really ever again.
Look, I lean left myself, as you well know.
I can live with that, but what I can't live with is how this is happening.
I cannot live with these companies, particularly Google and Facebook, and especially Google, having this kind of power to basically fix elections, not just in the U.S., but around the world, without anyone knowing what they're doing and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace, without me and these monitoring systems, all of this stuff, what they call ephemeral manipulations, all this ephemeral stuff would be completely lost forever.
That's what I'm capturing with the monitoring system.
All right.
So it's how much does it cost per person to be able to monitor?
You have to have, you get these people that agree to the study, and you watch over their shoulder,
if I have this right, and you see what's happening to them online every time they Google search, every time they go to a certain place, you capture it.
And
it's something that there's no record of unless that person has agreed to have everything they do captured on tape, right?
That's exactly right.
And of course, we're doing that with custom software.
So we have a lot of technical issues we're dealing with every every day.
And of course, we have to recruit these people around the country in secret.
It costs close to $2,000 to recruit just one of these people.
We call them field agents.
And we have to equip them.
We have to train them.
We have to protect them.
We do background checks.
So
it's very expensive.
So we've now, thanks to you and your listeners and viewers, we have now built a system.
We only have days left.
We've got to scale it up to be taken seriously.
I can tell you right now, I can't give you, I'm not going to give you the exact numbers, we don't have enough field agents in place right now.
If we had an extra couple hundred thousand dollars, obviously we could
expand that number quite considerably.
We're hoping that 10 days to two weeks before the election, we can make some sort of announcement about what we're finding and get these companies to back off during those critical days.
And when they do back off, we will detect it.
All right.
And if they don't back off, if they don't back off, Glenn, some of these people could go to jail because they are violating campaign finance laws.
I want you to go to Stop Big Tech Now, Stop Big Tech Now, and if you can, donate whatever you can.
$200,000 is not that big of a risk.
I know a lot of people in this audience already have given.
If you you can give more, great.
If not, thank you for what you've already done.
Even if it's just prayers that, you know, some big donors fall out of the sky here in the next couple of days.
But if you can afford anything and you agree that this is really important,
please go to stopbigtechnow.com.
You'll find all of the information.
You'll find me and Mark, Levin, and everybody else talking about this and how important it is.
And this is the audience that that is
supporting it and making it possible.
And it's really important, especially in seeing that the Senate is calling all is subpoenaed, all of the big tech leaders the night before the election to testify in front of Congress.
And it's a scare tactic to try to get them, you know,
under control on Election Day and more importantly, after Election Day.
They are very very concerned about voices, as am I, being silenced.
But we really need to have some evidence here on what they're doing and manipulating because if you can get that and
get it out to the public
a week before the election, that makes a difference and it also will give the
Senate
some things to talk to these guys about.
Absolutely.
And Ted Cruz, you know, I've been in in regular touch with his people, and of course, he's the one who had me testify before Congress last year.
He really understands this issue.
You know, his people are just dying to get hold of these data that we're collecting.
And I'm also dealing with a lot of the state AGs because some of those people are, they totally get it as well.
But you see, if they have no data, if no one is capturing this stuff,
then it's only their word against them.
Exactly.
Exactly right.
Are you
Do you think that there is
anyone serious about breaking these guys up?
Isn't Google one of the biggest lobbyists now on Capitol Hill?
They're actually the biggest, yeah.
I mean, the money that is being pushed into Congress by these guys, is anybody going to do anything?
You know, that's a complicated matter, but the point is there are some people now on the Hill who are saying they're going to do some things, but everything they're saying, it's like they're mesmerized, is what the big tech companies want them to say.
It's literally, we're talking about these tech companies designing the way in which they're going to be regulated.
And guess what?
That is not going to diminish the obscene power that they have right now of surveillance, of censorship, and of manipulation.
In other words, what Congress is doing right now, and even the AGs, I'm sad to say,
most of them, they're just on the wrong track.
They don't understand where these powers come from.
You cannot break up, for example, the search engine itself.
You cannot break up a Facebook social media platform.
You'd be splitting millions of families apart.
That's where their main power comes from.
So when they're talking about antitrust action and getting them to sell off some of the companies they bought, all that does is put more money in the pockets of the major shareholders.
It just makes them even richer than they already already are.
It does not diminish their power.
So, you know, answer your question,
yeah, there's talk and I think there'll be some action, but no, they're not.
Our leaders do not really get it.
They don't understand, or if they do, they're not willing to act because they're getting votes and money from these tech companies.
Okay, Robert, thank you so much.
Please keep in touch with me and let me know along the way how things are going.
I'd love to know tomorrow morning if you would just email me and tell me how much has been raised
from this appearance today.
I'd appreciate it.
I'd like to hit that $200,000
goal of yours.
That's what we hit last time you were on.
We hit $200,000
of donations, and I'd love to hit that again today so we can actually have valuable, usable, credible data in the next couple of weeks.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
I I appreciate it.
I am so grateful to you, and the American people should be grateful to you, and democracy should be grateful to you.
So, thank you so much.
That's kind of you.
Thank you very much.
Again, his website, if you would like to donate,
if we don't get this under control now,
we're not going to.
