00:00:00.120 Welcome to the podcast. It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn today. We learn about the prisoner swap.
00:00:06.000 We've traded a third round pick and a mass murderer for Brittany Griner. 1.00
00:00:12.220 It's a big trade that went down right before the beginning of the show. We get into the Brittany Griner trade here.
00:00:18.280 What an incredible effort here by our president. There's so many problems with it.
00:00:22.300 We are, of course, happy that Brittany Griner is coming home as a U.S. citizen, but there's lots of problems. 0.96
00:00:26.700 We'll get into those today. The American Girl Doll Company is promoting a new book which encourages children to acquire puberty blockers if they feel uncomfortable in their own bodies.
00:00:38.800 That's where you go. You've got to go to the doll company.
00:00:41.180 Whenever I have a concern about a medical issue, I go right to American Girl Dolls.
00:00:45.240 It's incredible. It really is.
00:00:47.420 We also learned there were no women leads in action movies before Hunger Games, which I didn't know.
00:00:53.220 There were some other examples, but apparently those weren't real.

00:01:38.020 So check those out as well.
00:01:39.360 All right, here's the podcast.
00:01:40.060 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:55.980 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn, who is still a little bit under the weather.
00:02:00.260 The breaking news on Brittany Greiner.
00:02:02.220 She's been released now.
00:02:03.860 Yeah, she's coming home.
00:02:05.160 Yep. Coming home, be home for Christmas.
00:02:08.080 Exchange her for the Merchant of Death. 0.85
00:02:13.220 It's just so good.
00:02:14.820 Isn't it great?
00:02:15.740 It's so good.
00:02:16.740 I mean, could you possibly...
00:02:18.520 We've traded the Merchant of Death for a WNBA player, which makes... 1.00
00:02:24.120 Now, look, first off, I want Brittany Greiner back in the United States. 1.00
00:02:28.240 There's no doubt about it.
00:02:29.220 Me too. We've talked about it many times.
00:02:29.800 Many times. I want her back.
00:02:31.680 I'm glad she's coming home.
00:02:33.320 That is a good part of the story.
00:02:35.380 And I'm glad, even though she was, I don't know, in favor of the kneeling or whatever it was.
00:02:39.500 Yeah, I don't care.
00:02:40.220 Back in the day.
00:02:40.740 I don't care.
00:02:41.160 Bring her home. 0.82
00:02:41.620 She's an American.
00:02:42.800 She's an American citizen.
00:02:44.340 I don't know.
00:02:46.000 We don't know the truth whether she was guilty or not.
00:02:48.260 But there's a good chance she wasn't guilty.
00:02:51.520 She may have been guilty.
00:02:53.840 But regardless, the punishment does not fit the crime.
00:02:56.860 Not at all.
00:02:57.700 And obviously, the Russians were holding her as a chip to hurt us as this is going on.
00:03:04.460 So we understand that.
00:03:05.820 And I'm glad she's coming home.
00:03:07.720 The reason why I don't think it's worth focusing on that entirely is because everybody agrees on it.
00:03:13.500 Everybody wants Brittany Greiner to be here instead of in a Russian, you know, death camp somewhere in Siberia. 1.00
00:03:18.620 So we all get that.
00:03:20.040 Obviously, there was a priority.
00:03:21.660 And they should have been negotiating for her release.
00:03:24.780 Sure.
00:03:25.220 The next part of that, Pat, is the Merchant of Death.
00:03:30.800 Yeah.
00:03:31.320 Okay?
00:03:31.940 Yeah.
00:03:32.460 Now, the Merchant of Death is he's an arms dealer.
00:03:36.660 And the reason I know a good amount about the Merchant of Death, and I will say there's a chance some of the stuff I know about the Merchant of Death is false.
00:03:45.840 And the reason for that is because Lord of War is one of my favorite movies.
00:03:48.880 It's a Nicolas Cage movie.
00:03:51.100 It's an obscure Nicolas Cage movie.
00:03:53.340 And I love it.
00:03:54.660 It's a great, great movie if you've never seen it.
00:03:58.700 Now, of course, it's got all sorts of liberal messaging throughout.
00:04:01.700 It's a very anti-gun.
00:04:02.920 It's very anti-war.
00:04:04.340 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:05.160 But it's a great freaking movie.
00:04:07.000 And it's the story of this guy.
00:04:08.280 Now, they name him something else because they want to take a little liberty with the story.
00:04:13.040 It's based on him.
00:04:14.480 It's based on a true story.
00:04:16.860 But this guy, he was kind of a low-level guy, wound up trying to be an arms dealer, rose up the ranks of this illicit arms dealer world.
00:04:27.380 And one of his big innovations in this moment was at the fall of the Soviet Union, he kind of took advantage of the chaos.
00:04:37.960 He went in and negotiated with some of his, he was Ukrainian, I believe, and some of his relatives and people he knew that had high-ranking military positions in the old Soviet army.
00:04:50.580 The Soviet Union falls.
00:04:52.120 They're now there with giant stockpiles of weapons.
00:04:54.960 The record-keeping's not there anymore.
00:04:57.900 There's no oversight anymore from the Soviets. 0.64
00:05:00.940 It's over.
00:05:01.740 It's dissolving.
00:05:02.680 So he comes in and buys tons and tons of weapons, pennies on the dollar, and then resells them to, like, African civil wars.
00:05:10.420 And he just rakes in the cash.
00:05:13.600 And he goes through, you know, a period where, you know, his brother's involved and he, you know, dies and has a huge drug problem.
00:05:24.120 And he gets, then this guy gets, the merchant of death gets a big drug problem going, marries a supermodel, goes through, I mean, it's an incredible story.
00:05:32.980 It really is worthy of a movie.
00:05:35.620 Yes, even a Nicolas Cage movie is worthy of a Nicolas Cage movie.
00:05:39.580 And this guy did all sorts of things.
00:05:43.520 I mean, he was responsible for God only knows how many deaths.
00:05:48.380 He was, you know, the Liberian Civil War was one of his big, big targets.
00:05:53.900 This is back when Charles Taylor was in charge there and was absolutely brutal.
00:05:58.120 And he would funnel weapons to these wars, sometimes both sides of the war, just to sell more and more weapons and enrich himself.
00:06:08.600 This is a guy who, you know, probably now is loved in Russia because he really, you know, emptied the coffers of the Ukrainian army to sell a bunch of stuff of his own down in other parts of the world.
00:06:24.760 He was almost caught a million times, eventually was caught in, I think it was in New York, and was put into prison and should remain there forever.
00:06:35.620 That's how this story should end.
00:06:37.680 Instead, he's on a flight back to Russia.
00:06:42.140 And we're getting a solid center with good post-up abilities.
00:06:47.180 So I don't know.
00:06:48.880 It's a weird trade.
00:06:50.660 It is.
00:06:51.180 It is a weird trade.
00:06:52.280 I mean, look, I'm happy, I'm happy that Brittany Griner is coming in.
00:06:58.860 I am too.
00:06:59.100 But then there's another layer of this, Pat, which is, look, do I want Brittany Griner back?
00:07:03.980 We've already answered that question.
00:07:05.440 Yes, I do.
00:07:06.680 I don't care about her WNBA career at all.
00:07:08.780 I don't, I don't know much about her.
00:07:10.620 I don't care that she's in the WNBA. 1.00
00:07:12.840 I don't care about the WNBA. 0.99
00:07:14.960 But she's an American citizen.
00:07:16.560 I would like her back.
00:07:17.300 However, Paul Whelan's also an American citizen and he's been over there for decades.
00:07:22.340 Yeah.
00:07:22.780 And for some reason, we got Brittany Griner out, but not him.
00:07:29.020 Now, you might say we only had a one for one trade and that might be the answer to this.
00:07:32.340 But, like, I know from a chivalry standpoint, I can make an argument, okay, even though he's had a much longer road in Russian detention, we still go with, we go with a woman for chivalry reasons. 0.78
00:07:47.200 I, you can talk to me about that, but Joe Biden can't make that argument.
00:07:50.780 He can't even tell what a woman is. 0.95
00:07:52.480 This entire side of our political spectrum can't define what a woman even is. 1.00
00:07:56.680 So, you can't make the chivalry argument here.
00:07:58.940 If you can't make that argument, what argument is there to bring Brittany Griner back instead of Paul Whelan?
00:08:04.400 What argument is there?
00:08:07.560 She had CBD and he's accused of being a spy.
00:08:10.920 Well, I mean, maybe that.
00:08:12.260 Maybe.
00:08:12.800 Maybe that.
00:08:13.460 Maybe that's true, but, I mean, they have already indicated.
00:08:15.440 But I don't buy that.
00:08:16.460 First of all, he's not a spy.
00:08:17.680 Right.
00:08:17.840 We should be clear.
00:08:18.660 He's definitely not a spy.
00:08:20.320 That's total BS from Russia. 0.99
00:08:21.980 But, you know, you can understand that from a Russian perspective.
00:08:24.140 Yeah.
00:08:24.380 That they'd rather release her.
00:08:25.860 And maybe that's part of it.
00:08:29.160 I don't.
00:08:30.780 They've already indicated that they would negotiate on this point in back channels.
00:08:35.380 At least there's been a lot of reporting on that.
00:08:37.560 And so.
00:08:38.280 And really, you could exchange a spy for a spy, too.
00:08:41.940 We've got people who are held here that we believe were Russian spies.
00:08:45.700 And they probably were.
00:08:47.760 Yeah.
00:08:48.440 But exchange for this guy.
00:08:50.460 I'd be in total favor of a prisoner exchange in that eventuality.
00:08:54.740 For Paul Whelan?
00:08:57.740 Yeah.
00:08:58.380 Yeah.
00:08:59.620 Just a one-for-one exchange.
00:09:01.680 Spy for spy.
00:09:02.860 Sure.
00:09:03.500 I mean, well, it's ridiculous to say this because he's not a spy.
00:09:06.180 He's not.
00:09:06.760 Yeah.
00:09:06.980 But, you know, again, I sort of understand that.
00:09:09.920 And I am a.
00:09:11.580 I really want the American citizens that are in captivity over there back.
00:09:16.380 Like, it's a high priority.
00:09:17.720 We should be focusing on it.
00:09:19.100 We should have people on it.
00:09:19.940 And, you know, the same thing happened in North Korea.
00:09:22.520 We saw activity there with the Trump administration.
00:09:26.320 I mean, he focused on this a lot.
00:09:28.840 This type of.
00:09:29.540 And he, you know, also tried to get several captives back from Russia.
00:09:35.680 It's good to see that this is happening.
00:09:37.460 But it just.
00:09:39.020 I mean, maybe I'm being.
00:09:40.480 Maybe you're pushing back here, Pat.
00:09:41.820 And I'm being too skeptical on this.
00:09:44.000 Maybe.
00:09:44.320 Maybe I'm wrong.
00:09:46.460 But, like, doesn't it feel like the only reason Brittany Griner is coming back instead of Paul Whelan is that she's famous?
00:09:53.520 It does.
00:09:54.340 It does.
00:09:55.280 Am I too cynical on this?
00:09:57.380 No, I think that's probably accurate.
00:10:00.000 It's got a lot more publicity.
00:10:01.960 Right.
00:10:02.700 No one knows who Paul Whelan is.
00:10:04.240 Right.
00:10:04.500 He's been sitting over there for a million years.
00:10:05.960 And only his parents seem to care about it.
00:10:08.120 Mm-hmm.
00:10:08.600 And they've been trying to go to the media forever.
00:10:11.100 And every once in a while, you see a profile story.
00:10:13.280 And the story goes away.
00:10:14.340 Brittany Griner is somebody that is in, you know, has some level of public profile.
00:10:21.300 And I don't know.
00:10:24.540 I mean, it just seems like this is just a play by the Biden administration to bring back a celebrity.
00:10:29.500 Which, again, I'm happy she's coming back.
00:10:31.880 But, like, it does not seem like this is a pure decision.
00:10:37.880 And I'm just, I'm looking here.
00:10:39.800 I couldn't remember when he was incarcerated.
00:10:42.080 It was 2020.
00:10:42.680 So, he's been, he's been over there for about two and a half years.
00:10:46.540 Okay.
00:10:46.980 In jail for two and a half years.
00:10:48.440 I may have got him confused with another one.
00:10:49.940 He's sentenced, though, to 16.
00:10:53.740 So.
00:10:54.100 Now, she was sentenced to what, 10?
00:10:55.920 Yeah, 9 or 10.
00:10:56.780 And this indicates that they don't even believe he's a spy.
00:10:59.900 Right.
00:11:00.180 The Russian government is not.
00:11:01.460 If they thought he was a spy, they wouldn't sentence him to 16 years and Brittany Griner, 10 for CBD.
00:11:07.300 Right.
00:11:07.480 Like, come on.
00:11:08.780 Yeah.
00:11:09.060 We all know that that's, that's ridiculous.
00:11:11.340 They don't even believe he's a spy.
00:11:12.520 They know, look, these people are chips.
00:11:14.480 They're negotiating chips for the Russians. 0.83
00:11:16.780 And that's almost always the case in these situations.
00:11:19.140 And I don't believe, you know, I frankly don't necessarily, you know, believe that Brittany Griner even did anything wrong.
00:11:25.660 I mean, I think there's a good chance she didn't.
00:11:28.120 Now, there's a chance that she did.
00:11:29.440 Obviously, like, we don't think of, it wasn't even CBD.
00:11:33.140 It was supposedly something elevated from that, I believe, was the accusation.
00:11:37.980 It was, you know, the, it was, I think, the argument was at the time that she was using, like, you know, how you'd use medical marijuana for, for pain management.
00:11:49.160 You know, like, that was the argument at the time.
00:11:50.900 Now, God only knows what's right and what's wrong here.
00:11:53.380 Or, you know, she'll come back and she'll tell her, hashish, hashish, right?
00:11:57.180 Yeah, there we go.
00:11:57.720 Yeah.
00:11:59.160 So, you know, it's a, that probably is a crime there.
00:12:01.960 Was she actually doing it?
00:12:02.920 It's possible, right?
00:12:03.900 I mean, she might look at this and be like, eh, no one's going to do anything to me in the United States for this.
00:12:08.580 It's not going to be a big deal.
00:12:10.460 And, you know, what are the Russians going to throw out one of these big athletes and put me in prison?
00:12:14.440 Maybe she made that calculation. 0.99
00:12:16.740 But, like, once the war heats up, like, that calculation's out the window.
00:12:20.680 I mean, it should have been out the window at the beginning.
00:12:22.440 But it really makes no sense once the war, you know, battles and the buildup to the war starts.
00:12:30.460 Obviously, they wanted revenge on us.
00:12:32.220 And I think that's quite clear what was going on here.
00:12:35.740 Especially when you come to the punishment angle of it, right?
00:12:38.440 Like, it's one thing to get in trouble for a crime in a foreign country.
00:12:41.700 This does happen to people.
00:12:43.000 But they didn't exactly go light on her.
00:12:46.280 No.
00:12:46.440 Like, ah, Russian prison camp.
00:12:48.560 Ten years.
00:12:49.900 You know, it seems a little over the top.
00:12:52.660 A little bit.
00:12:53.640 Yeah.
00:12:53.960 And that's why there was outrage over it.
00:12:55.780 And there should be.
00:12:56.900 And there should have been.
00:12:58.460 But it did take them a long time to get her out.
00:13:02.460 I mean, she should have been out. 0.65
00:13:04.780 If Trump were in office, I think she would have been out.
00:13:08.040 Well, she might not have even been arrested, frankly.
00:13:10.960 But if she were, I'll bet she would have been out in a week. 0.98
00:13:15.000 Yeah.
00:13:16.140 Instead of eight or nine months or whatever it's been.
00:13:18.580 That's probably true.
00:13:19.660 I do think he, you know, he would have focused on it.
00:13:21.960 He also had a different relationship with them.
00:13:25.200 Right.
00:13:25.540 I mean, it would have been interesting to see what happened in that case.
00:13:28.340 Because, obviously, Trump's Russia policy was much, much harsher on Russia than Obama's policy was on Russia.
00:13:38.740 By far.
00:13:39.480 I mean, it wasn't even close.
00:13:40.920 He said things that were nice about Putin from time to time.
00:13:44.500 And everyone's like, oh, wow, he just loves Vladimir Putin.
00:13:47.100 And then you look at his policy and you're like, wait a minute.
00:13:48.920 It doesn't seem like he likes Vladimir Putin that much.
00:13:51.700 There never seemed to be much love policy-wise.
00:13:54.640 He was not soft on Russia.
00:13:56.100 No.
00:13:56.280 At all.
00:13:57.080 The reverse of that.
00:13:57.980 I mean, he reversed soft Russia policies that Obama had put into place.
00:14:02.460 Yeah.
00:14:03.280 You know?
00:14:03.760 And I mean, I guess the left-wing argument to that is, well, those are just the people around him.
00:14:09.040 You know, he had people like John Bolton around him who were obviously more hawkish.
00:14:13.860 And, you know, so maybe that was it.
00:14:15.820 He just agreed to what everyone around him was telling him.
00:14:18.300 But I don't know.
00:14:19.380 I think that's what everyone likes to do with Donald Trump.
00:14:22.260 When it's a policy that they like, they just say, oh, well, all the people around him are doing it.
00:14:26.600 And when it's a policy they don't like, then it's him by himself making all the decisions.
00:14:30.680 That's just how this works with Donald Trump.
00:14:32.440 He deserves credit for his Russia policy.
00:14:34.800 It was harsh.
00:14:36.020 It does.
00:14:36.360 And he was actually holding red lines, unlike the previous administration.
00:14:42.480 It would have been interesting to see, does this war even happen if Trump is in office?
00:14:48.020 Yeah.
00:14:48.380 My guess is no.
00:14:49.040 My guess is no.
00:14:53.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:01.740 Okay.
00:15:02.360 So the popular doll maker American Girl has some advice for your kids.
00:15:09.620 They've got a guidebook that they put together.
00:15:11.600 That's great.
00:15:12.340 Yeah, it's great.
00:15:13.100 And it's only 13 bucks.
00:15:14.180 Well, it's $12.99.
00:15:16.340 Okay.
00:15:16.760 So it's not as expensive as I was leading on.
00:15:20.040 It's only $12.99.
00:15:21.600 And it has some great advice for children struggling with body image issues.
00:15:27.040 And it suggests they ask their doctors for puberty blocking medication.
00:15:32.100 And to seek transgender support without parental consent if you don't have an adult you can trust in your life. 0.82
00:15:40.280 What on earth?
00:15:41.400 Don't you get all your really serious life advice from doll manufacturers, from doll companies?
00:15:47.320 Most of it.
00:15:47.840 Most of it.
00:15:48.560 Most of my stuff comes from, you know, when I really have a heart issue.
00:15:52.620 It's usually American Girl doll manufacturer.
00:15:55.520 Yeah.
00:15:55.740 When I was concerned about compounding interest, I went to a sex doll company.
00:15:59.180 Oh, you did?
00:15:59.560 Yeah.
00:15:59.680 And I was like, what should I do with my mortgage right now?
00:16:03.580 Yeah.
00:16:03.740 What's going on with that?
00:16:04.640 And what was their advice?
00:16:05.480 Their advice was, well, I can't say their advice.
00:16:08.240 It was X-rated.
00:16:10.240 They swore at me a bunch of times.
00:16:12.860 Wow.
00:16:13.240 Yeah, it was weird.
00:16:14.000 But anyway, that is always where I go.
00:16:16.840 Well, American Girl has put out a smart girl's guide body image book.
00:16:23.700 And it's on the website, again, for just $12.99.
00:16:29.260 You know, if you're struggling, your kids are struggling, this is right where you go.
00:16:33.880 The cover of the 96-page.
00:16:35.680 It's a 96-page paperback.
00:16:39.920 Wow.
00:16:40.300 It shows four girls of varying body weights and skin colors. 0.91
00:16:43.880 One's in a wheelchair.
00:16:44.820 Another has blue-dyed hair.
00:16:48.940 And the subtitle reads, how to love yourself, live life to the fullest, and celebrate all kinds of bodies.
00:16:56.800 You know, and then it tells you if you're struggling, if you're not comfortable with a part of your body, then, you know, you should go get some puberty blockers from your doctor.
00:17:08.420 And that way, you know, you'll have a couple of years to decide whether you're comfortable with your body or if you want to change it, you know, through surgery.
00:17:16.380 Can you believe this?
00:17:17.860 It's unbelievable.
00:17:18.880 I mean, American Girl dolls.
00:17:21.420 We bought all of our girls American Girl dolls.
00:17:25.080 They loved them.
00:17:27.620 And now they're doing this with our kids?
00:17:32.340 So this is interesting, Pat, because I have small kids.
00:17:36.720 Yeah.
00:17:37.100 Younger kids.
00:17:38.560 And they, my daughter has had.
00:17:40.820 Is Ainsley a fan of American Girl?
00:17:42.660 Has, you know, tons of stuff.
00:17:44.220 She's, you know, for presents and stuff she's bought with her own money.
00:17:47.940 Like, you know, she's even got the Jeep, Pat.
00:17:50.920 She has the entire.
00:17:51.800 I didn't know there was an American Girl Jeep. 1.00
00:17:52.780 Oh, yeah, there's a great Jeep.
00:17:53.900 Great Jeep.
00:17:54.540 If you want to get the Jeep, it's fantastic.
00:17:56.360 Is it one that it's big enough for her to ride in it? 0.99
00:17:59.380 Yeah.
00:18:00.040 No, no, she's not that big.
00:18:01.360 It's for the dolls to ride in.
00:18:01.800 It's just for the American Girl.
00:18:02.780 Yes.
00:18:02.940 Okay.
00:18:03.280 All right.
00:18:04.060 So then that's a very standard experience.
00:18:06.920 I will say, as your kids get older, you have to talk to them about some things that are
00:18:12.400 going on in their lives, right?
00:18:13.620 Some changes that may be coming up soon.
00:18:15.560 Right.
00:18:15.900 Not like gender transition changes, but just the changes that every boy or girl goes through.
00:18:20.380 Some changes, yeah, that they all go through.
00:18:22.700 And if you are a parent, you know that that can be a little strange and challenging.
00:18:28.580 Yeah.
00:18:28.880 And so what do you do in that situation?
00:18:31.760 This is unbelievable.
00:18:33.120 You go and you look for resources, right?
00:18:35.280 Yeah.
00:18:35.540 To kind of help you walk through it.
00:18:36.420 Maybe a book that you can read to your kids.
00:18:37.820 So I went through a bunch of like conservative reviews of these types of books because I was
00:18:47.980 worried about, you know, what woke nonsense they would slip into these things, right?
00:18:53.660 And when I went through this, one of the ones recommended by all sorts of conservatives,
00:18:59.980 religious people, all sorts, were the American Girl doll series.
00:19:05.600 They have a series of all sorts of books like this, not just about, you know, not about
00:19:10.540 gender transition at all, but just like, okay, puberty, right? 0.81
00:19:13.320 Like you're getting older, like these are the types of things you're going to get, you
00:19:16.440 know, hair under your arms, right?
00:19:17.760 Like stuff like that.
00:19:18.620 Yeah.
00:19:18.800 Just to kind of let people, the kids know what's going on.
00:19:22.340 And so I read these, the books from this company about the basics.
00:19:29.240 Yeah.
00:19:29.700 And they don't have any sign.
00:19:32.660 Of this kind of stuff?
00:19:33.480 Of this kind of stuff in there.
00:19:34.540 So this has got to be new.
00:19:36.220 I mean, this is not a book that I saw, the body image one, How to Love Yourself, Life
00:19:40.080 to the Fulls.
00:19:40.640 It says, it's a newly released book.
00:19:42.680 So they're going down this road.
00:19:44.400 The target's kids 10 and older.
00:19:45.400 Mm-hmm.
00:19:46.260 And it says, parts of your body may make you feel uncomfortable and you may want to change
00:19:52.700 the way you look.
00:19:53.720 Well, is it?
00:19:54.400 Wait, stop for a second.
00:19:55.280 That's totally okay.
00:19:56.980 Stop for a second.
00:19:58.000 Mm-hmm.
00:19:58.520 That is totally okay.
00:20:00.560 Mm-hmm.
00:20:00.800 Every single person on earth has parts of their body that make them uncomfortable.
00:20:06.180 Mm-hmm.
00:20:06.340 You know, I could tell you my gut is one of them.
00:20:09.540 Yeah.
00:20:10.000 I've got to reveal the transition.
00:20:11.260 I would like to transition into a thin person.
00:20:13.120 Mm-hmm.
00:20:13.480 So that doesn't seem to be happening, but I would like it.
00:20:15.640 Yeah.
00:20:16.400 So, and what was the second part of that?
00:20:18.840 That you should be comfortable in your body?
00:20:22.280 You know?
00:20:22.720 Yeah.
00:20:23.100 It's totally okay if you're uncomfortable.
00:20:25.040 Yeah.
00:20:25.180 And you want to change the way you look.
00:20:26.920 That's fine.
00:20:27.520 Yes, it's okay if you want to change the way you look.
00:20:29.680 It's okay.
00:20:29.980 It's okay.
00:20:30.080 It's so funny because when you are overweight and you want to lose weight, they say, actually,
00:20:36.680 fat pride.
00:20:37.940 You should, everyone is perfect.
00:20:41.340 Everyone is perfect and that's okay.
00:20:43.440 No matter how you are, you were made that way.
00:20:46.540 You were born that way and you're perfect and you should never want to change.
00:20:49.760 No, I was not born.
00:20:50.900 I was not born fat.
00:20:51.980 Right.
00:20:52.400 That is not true.
00:20:53.280 No.
00:20:53.720 I ate to get that way.
00:20:55.020 I was eight pounds, seven ounces when I was born.
00:20:56.400 I transitioned into a fat person.
00:20:58.340 And I have really let myself go since then.
00:21:00.420 Hey.
00:21:00.900 I am way more than eight pounds, seven ounces.
00:21:02.880 Yeah.
00:21:03.120 Oh my gosh.
00:21:03.660 I was going to say.
00:21:04.160 Way more.
00:21:04.860 It looked like you put on a few since then.
00:21:06.420 I have since birth.
00:21:08.020 Yeah.
00:21:08.160 Yeah.
00:21:08.380 I have.
00:21:08.900 You really have.
00:21:09.660 So.
00:21:09.960 But like, that is, they're taking advantage of a
00:21:13.400 really normal human instinct to say, you know, I'd like to look a little bit better.
00:21:17.160 Gosh, I hate the way I look in this way.
00:21:19.300 Everyone goes through that.
00:21:20.500 Yeah.
00:21:20.700 You should be able to take that rationally and in context and maybe make some changes
00:21:25.400 that would make you more healthy.
00:21:27.240 Not cut off your parts because you don't like them.
00:21:29.420 Right.
00:21:30.280 That's a different pitch.
00:21:31.600 Or stop taking or start taking life altering medication that can stop the natural process
00:21:38.120 of your body.
00:21:39.320 I mean, that's really dangerous.
00:21:41.220 And doctors who are honest are starting to really speak out about that, fortunately.
00:21:46.620 That, hey, it's not necessarily just this just delays things for a while and then you're
00:21:51.900 going to be fine if you stop taking them.
00:21:53.880 It could cause real problems for you.
00:21:56.780 But they continue in another part of the book.
00:21:59.420 You can appreciate your body for everything it allows you to experience and still want to
00:22:03.440 change certain things about it.
00:22:04.780 If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medication to delay your
00:22:11.060 body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.
00:22:16.460 This is a doll company.
00:22:20.700 Yeah.
00:22:20.960 And I guess like it is.
00:22:23.120 Yes, it's a doll company.
00:22:24.440 But like they are bringing in experts in these fields to write these books.
00:22:29.240 I'm sure.
00:22:29.700 This is actually a part of their company.
00:22:31.680 So bad.
00:22:32.160 And, you know, a lot of the stuff that they have is totally, I think, would be cool with.
00:22:37.580 Yeah, you liked it.
00:22:38.320 It was fine.
00:22:39.220 What I liked about it is it didn't get into a lot of those like advanced questions.
00:22:44.560 It was like, OK, here's how the body changes as you get older.
00:22:48.140 Hey, make sure you put on deodorant, kid, you know, because you're going to start stinking
00:22:51.920 really soon.
00:22:52.580 It was stuff like that.
00:22:53.520 Wow.
00:22:54.020 Which is, you know, helpful for parents to bring them through.
00:22:57.480 And that's what's, I think, scary about this.
00:22:59.320 And I think this is maybe the scariest part.
00:23:01.140 If you don't have an adult you trust, like your parents, I guess.
00:23:06.600 Who probably bought you this book.
00:23:07.700 Uh-huh.
00:23:08.460 There are organizations across the country that can help you.
00:23:11.740 Turn to the resources on page 95 for more information.
00:23:17.140 I don't know what resources are on page 95.
00:23:20.420 It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:23:21.920 It's incredible to me.
00:23:23.660 Here, I have some.
00:23:24.200 So this is also some other stuff from the book.
00:23:26.440 The way you show your gender to the world through clothes and behavior is your gender 0.96
00:23:31.420 expression.
00:23:32.340 No, it's not.
00:23:33.800 Can we forget even how ridiculous it is to try to change your gender? 1.00
00:23:37.860 That is not a description of what gender is.
00:23:40.660 The way you wear your clothes.
00:23:42.900 No.
00:23:43.640 The way you wear clothes is your style.
00:23:45.740 Mm-hmm.
00:23:46.660 That's what that is.
00:23:47.780 That we have words for these things already.
00:23:49.720 It's not, it has nothing to do with gender.
00:23:51.580 How bizarre is that, that your genitalia has nothing to do with your gender, but your
00:23:56.000 clothes do now?
00:23:57.600 Like, you can't tell anything about the gender of a child from whether they've got a hoo-ha 1.00
00:24:02.820 or a, what's the other one you use?
00:24:05.540 Man unit.
00:24:06.060 A man unit.
00:24:06.600 A man unit or a hoo-ha. 0.98
00:24:07.660 You can't tell.
00:24:09.060 However, you can tell if, this is a quote from the book, your gender expression can be
00:24:13.820 feminine, masculine, or somewhere in between and might change.
00:24:16.880 Maybe you'll experiment with bright dresses and long feminine hairstyles. 1.00
00:24:20.860 Or you might try baggy shorts, plaid shirts, and a buzzed haircut.
00:24:24.540 Huh.
00:24:24.700 Your gender expression should make you feel at home in your body.
00:24:30.120 You don't have a choice whether you'd be at home in your body or not.
00:24:33.780 Even if you alter it with surgery, you're still at home in your body.
00:24:38.340 Being at home in your body is a made-up concern.
00:24:41.680 It's not a thing.
00:24:43.820 Like, if you have a problem being at home in your body, you have something that has traditionally
00:24:50.100 been called gender dysphoria, where you're having problems, medical problems, trying to
00:24:58.280 understand why you feel strange in your own body.
00:25:01.380 But that's not real.
00:25:03.840 Your feelings are not real.
00:25:07.300 You might think because you put on cargo shorts, you're a boy.
00:25:11.440 You're not.
00:25:12.300 But I'm sorry.
00:25:14.760 Like, there is no reason to indulge in this nonsense.
00:25:20.480 It is...
00:25:21.480 There are interesting things to be learned about an individual, about the choices they
00:25:27.160 might wear, make in the clothes that they wear, or the way that they act, or the way
00:25:30.820 they present themselves, or the hairstyle they choose.
00:25:32.820 You might understand interesting parts about their personality, but there is very little
00:25:37.920 societal value in this pursuit.
00:25:42.740 What does it matter?
00:25:44.520 Why do we care?
00:25:47.120 And when we were doing the Pat and Stu show back in the day, Pat, I remember we used to
00:25:50.040 play a clip from Ellen DeGeneres.
00:25:52.520 And, you know, she's a very famous, obviously, LGBT...
00:25:56.920 I don't want to say QQIA, because I don't know if she advocates for those things.
00:26:00.180 I don't know.
00:26:01.160 But she was an LGBT advocate for many, many years.
00:26:05.400 Obviously, someone who really broke a lot of barriers to people in the mainstream culture.
00:26:11.060 And they asked her about the transgender thing, and she was trying to let people who just couldn't 0.99
00:26:16.100 grasp it understand what it was.
00:26:19.000 And what she said, her description of the transgender thing, was that gender, being a transgender
00:26:25.140 person, gender, is a feeling that you feel in your brain.
00:26:30.760 It's the way you feel.
00:26:32.740 And, like, that might be interesting if your sister's going through that.
00:26:36.820 It might be interesting to try to understand how they feel in their brain.
00:26:40.180 But when we're talking about when you go into a hospital and you need to find out if you
00:26:45.360 have ovaries or not, none of that matters.
00:26:48.000 Your feelings don't concern anyone.
00:26:50.260 They're not important.
00:26:53.560 Full stop!
00:26:55.400 They are not important.
00:26:57.140 They are not important when it comes to that.
00:26:58.900 It might be interesting to try to understand them from a physician's standpoint.
00:27:03.840 It might be interesting from a cultural standpoint or a societal standpoint.
00:27:07.700 You might say, wow, that's an interesting quirk.
00:27:10.340 Why does that happen?
00:27:12.080 What does it mean?
00:27:13.440 But it does not have value when it comes to policy.
00:27:16.580 It does not have value there at all.
00:27:20.260 What is important is whether it's a man or a woman, a boy or a girl, male or female.
00:27:25.240 That is what is important.
00:27:26.260 That's what needs to be on government forms.
00:27:28.300 How you feel in your brain does not need to be on a government form.
00:27:34.560 And it certainly does not need to be explained to a 10-year-old who is already so confused
00:27:39.700 by the freaking Chinese Communist Party through TikTok that they're trying to do this stuff
00:27:45.160 and trying to justify keeping it away from their parents.
00:27:48.260 That's really bad.
00:27:49.420 It is really bad.
00:27:51.720 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:27:56.000 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:27:58.840 Actress Jennifer Lawrence.
00:28:00.880 She says some stupid things.
00:28:02.520 Yeah, she's not the brightest bulb. 0.98
00:28:04.620 Not bright.
00:28:05.620 And, you know, incredibly progressive, liberal.
00:28:08.900 But this is a weird comment.
00:28:11.640 Sort of demeaning all of the women who've done action movies that came before her.
00:28:17.460 She just said, I remember when I was doing Hunger Games.
00:28:23.040 Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. 1.00
00:28:28.280 Would not work.
00:28:29.400 No one ever thought about it.
00:28:30.560 Yeah, no one had ever thought about it, I don't think.
00:28:32.560 Until Jennifer Lawrence, of course, in 2012 with Hunger Games.
00:28:37.700 We were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead,
00:28:41.000 but boys cannot identify with a female lead.
00:28:44.420 Viola Davis, who's doing the interview of her, replies, oh, absolutely.
00:28:49.300 Good pushback there on that one.
00:28:51.660 Yeah.
00:28:51.880 You know.
00:28:52.880 Oh, we do have it?
00:28:53.660 Let's listen to it.
00:28:54.260 Let's see that.
00:28:55.940 And hear it.
00:28:56.940 I remember when I was doing Hunger Games.
00:28:58.880 Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. 1.00
00:29:04.120 We were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.
00:29:12.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:29:12.760 And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every single one of those beliefs.
00:29:22.100 Wow.
00:29:22.440 Yeah.
00:29:22.640 It might have been a belief, but it was dumb.
00:29:25.140 It wasn't true.
00:29:25.760 It's a bad belief.
00:29:27.260 What does Angelina Jolie think about this? 1.00
00:29:29.420 I know.
00:29:29.980 I'd like to know.
00:29:30.400 There's a bunch of movies.
00:29:31.960 Lots.
00:29:32.520 Where she was the lead.
00:29:34.180 One was Tomb Raider.
00:29:35.780 Yeah.
00:29:36.200 That came well before 2012.
00:29:38.620 Another was Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
00:29:41.540 Yeah.
00:29:42.180 I mean, that was a co, you know, more of a... 1.00
00:29:43.920 It was a Brad Pitt and her kind of co-starring thing.
00:29:47.080 Yeah.
00:29:47.400 But she was great in that.
00:29:49.080 Dual leads.
00:29:49.580 Yeah.
00:29:50.220 She was a badass in that. 0.97
00:29:51.800 Yeah.
00:29:52.160 I mean, she was at a bunch...
00:29:53.380 I mean, Angelina Jolie has a ton of them. 0.84
00:29:55.760 I mean, she's not the only one, obviously, but...
00:29:57.900 Let's try Sigourney Weaver, perhaps, in Aliens. 0.90
00:30:01.140 Yeah.
00:30:02.020 1979.
00:30:02.920 Is that before 2012, or...
00:30:04.660 I don't know.
00:30:05.020 We have to do the math on it, but...
00:30:06.280 Yeah.
00:30:06.520 I think it might be.
00:30:07.220 I think there's a chance it is.
00:30:08.140 There's a possibility it was before 2012.
00:30:12.080 Mila Jovovich, who starred in six... 0.71
00:30:16.580 Six Resident Evil movies since 2002.
00:30:20.600 Our girl, Kate Beckinsale, has got to be on this list.
00:30:23.480 Yeah, she does.
00:30:23.600 She was in a bunch of action movies.
00:30:25.140 Those vampire things.
00:30:26.140 Yeah.
00:30:26.520 I can't remember what the name of it was.
00:30:28.320 Underworld.
00:30:28.760 We should note that she doesn't know she's our girl, but she's kind of our girl.
00:30:33.080 Oh, and look at the way she looks at us. 1.00
00:30:34.480 Yeah.
00:30:34.660 You can see.
00:30:35.420 If you're watching the screen, you're like, gosh, look at their longing eyes.
00:30:38.360 She's looking at me and Pat.
00:30:39.360 Uh-huh.
00:30:39.740 That's just a thing.
00:30:41.200 Yeah.
00:30:41.520 Looking at Angelina Jolie.
00:30:42.540 Laura Croft is obviously the Tomb Raider thing. 1.00
00:30:47.600 Yep.
00:30:47.760 She also had, where she was the lead, let's see, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
00:30:54.840 Mm-hmm.
00:30:55.160 And what was this?
00:30:56.300 Assault, which was an...
00:30:58.180 Assault.
00:30:59.120 Not a salt.
00:30:59.760 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:00.560 But salt.
00:31:00.880 Yes, salt.
00:31:01.580 Yes.
00:31:02.380 That's right.
00:31:04.040 Not maybe her proudest moment, but it was definitely an action movie.
00:31:07.980 She was a lead of an action movie.
00:31:08.940 Yeah.
00:31:09.140 Wanted.
00:31:10.180 Oh, yeah.
00:31:10.980 Which was definitely an action movie.
00:31:12.640 I see that all the time on Netflix.
00:31:14.960 Yeah.
00:31:15.320 I don't watch it, but I see it pop up.
00:31:16.720 I did watch it.
00:31:17.280 That's the one where you could curve the bullets, right?
00:31:18.600 Is it good?
00:31:19.300 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:31:20.020 Yeah, no, I kind of did like it.
00:31:21.520 It was like...
00:31:21.840 It's fun.
00:31:22.580 It's a little bit of a remnant of that era where everyone was like, what if we completely
00:31:26.600 overproduce every scene?
00:31:28.440 You know?
00:31:29.400 Oh, my gosh, we could do what?
00:31:30.740 We could make bullets?
00:31:31.440 What if every single scene has bullets curving?
00:31:34.060 It was that type of movie.
00:31:35.220 Yeah.
00:31:35.440 But like, in a way, it was so over the top that I really, I liked it.
00:31:39.680 You know, I thought it was solid.
00:31:41.920 I mean, it's a little ridiculous, but it was also solid.
00:31:45.320 Uma Thurman.
00:31:46.560 Oh, my gosh.
00:31:47.320 In Kill Bill.
00:31:47.780 Kill Bill. 0.97
00:31:48.320 Yeah.
00:31:49.920 There was, according to the article, I don't know this, Nikita in 1990?
00:31:54.920 That only predates Jennifer Lawrence by, let's see, 22 years.
00:32:02.640 So, I mean, Charlie's Angels.
00:32:04.620 There's so many.
00:32:05.360 Oh, God, Charlie's Angels was three.
00:32:06.800 Action movies.
00:32:07.880 Female leads.
00:32:08.440 Yeah.
00:32:09.340 Yeah.
00:32:09.700 So many of them.
00:32:11.380 I don't know where she got this or why she thinks she's the trailblazer here, but we got
00:32:17.280 news for you, Jen.
00:32:18.880 You're not.
00:32:19.540 It seems like one of these things where Hollywood celebrities are so in their own heads, thinking
00:32:24.680 everything about their lives is the most important thing.
00:32:27.440 Yeah.
00:32:28.260 And that's kind of, I think, what goes on here, right?
00:32:31.480 I mean.
00:32:32.780 It's embarrassing, though.
00:32:33.900 Kate Beckinsale was Underworld, by the way, she was in.
00:32:36.420 Uh-huh.
00:32:36.880 That was a big one.
00:32:37.720 Uh-huh.
00:32:38.400 And they made a bunch of them.
00:32:40.200 You know, she could just be.
00:32:41.080 How can we put Kate Beckinsale in leather pants? 1.00
00:32:43.460 Give her this role. 1.00
00:32:44.260 And, like, look, you know, this would be, I guess, part of the critique of Jennifer
00:32:48.400 Lawrence, maybe.
00:32:49.560 And some of these movies are maybe for older audiences.
00:32:53.420 I mean, I don't know.
00:32:54.260 Is there any argument that she could make?
00:32:55.840 I think, I don't think so.
00:32:57.080 I don't know.
00:32:57.880 I don't think so.
00:32:58.520 Now, look, are guys more common in action movies?
00:33:02.020 Yeah, of course.
00:33:03.560 Because, typically speaking, that is the audience.
00:33:06.620 I mean, boys, typically.
00:33:08.200 But I will say, when people ask, what's your favorite?
00:33:12.320 I actually had, I did an interview with a, this is a couple years ago, with a conservative
00:33:17.100 entertainment, like, website.
00:33:20.320 And they were like, well, what's your favorite genre of movies?
00:33:23.320 And I was like, what's my favorite genre?
00:33:26.720 I just thought that was an interesting question.
00:33:28.420 But, like, you know, am I a horror guy?
00:33:30.340 You know, I watch a horror movie here and there, but no.
00:33:32.700 Action, not really.
00:33:33.880 This is what I came up with.
00:33:35.000 These are my two favorite genres of movies.
00:33:36.960 They're not full genres.
00:33:38.120 Because, number one, is dramatic retellings of relatively recent historical events.
00:33:46.000 That's a popular genre right there.
00:33:48.060 But it's like, you know.
00:33:50.720 And you came up with that on the website?
00:33:52.800 Yes.
00:33:52.980 Okay.
00:33:53.400 So, it was.
00:33:54.820 They're like, oh, I'm sorry we even lined this interview up.
00:33:58.180 It took me, like, 40.
00:33:59.340 Who lined this up with stupid gear?
00:34:00.980 It took me, like, 40 minutes to come up with that.
00:34:02.520 But I think it's true.
00:34:04.780 Like, you go back to, like, anything from World War II on.
00:34:08.860 Okay.
00:34:09.260 Okay.
00:34:09.800 Yep.
00:34:10.080 When you take, like, an event.
00:34:11.720 And we mentioned it earlier.
00:34:13.020 Lord of War is a perfect example of that genre.
00:34:15.860 Right.
00:34:16.000 Where, like, it was a real guy.
00:34:17.180 This is the guy that got traded for Brittany Griner in the swap that happened today.
00:34:22.580 Yep.
00:34:22.860 He was an arms dealer.
00:34:24.200 Nicolas Cage plays him.
00:34:25.480 It tells his story about how he got into arms dealing and all this stuff.
00:34:28.140 And it's not exactly, you know, 100% accurate when it comes to that telling.
00:34:33.200 It's somewhat fictionalized.
00:34:34.260 But it's based on a true story from relatively recent, like, Captain Phillips, you know.
00:34:40.080 Yeah.
00:34:40.500 Those types of movies I freaking love.
00:34:42.360 I do, too.
00:34:43.220 They're just great.
00:34:44.160 And I can watch basically any of them.
00:34:46.420 Especially if they're based on a true story and pretty close to it.
00:34:49.740 The other one, my other favorite genre of movies is really hot actress kicking everybody's ass. 1.00
00:34:58.140 I, I love those movies.
00:35:02.000 They're just great.
00:35:03.200 And, like, you know, what was the one we, Atomic Blonde was the one we talked about quite a bit.
00:35:07.120 Charlize Theron.
00:35:07.400 Charlize Theron.
00:35:08.640 I love that movie.
00:35:10.660 It's great.
00:35:10.760 She goes around.
00:35:11.760 She kicks everybody's butt. 1.00
00:35:13.600 She kills a bunch of people. 1.00
00:35:14.740 She looks really good doing it.
00:35:16.100 That's the entire movie.
00:35:17.360 It's great.
00:35:19.100 It's my favorite genre of movie.
00:35:21.920 It's hard to argue with that genre.
00:35:23.440 It's great.
00:35:24.000 And it's like these women who weigh, like, 118 pounds just killing, like, a 340-pound guy. 1.00
00:35:30.140 Yeah, but they're highly trained, Stu.
00:35:31.600 They're highly trained, so it works, and I don't care.
00:35:34.680 And all of those movies I love.
00:35:36.540 And when she said that, I was like, gosh, like, not only is she wrong that they've never tried this,
00:35:42.460 it's an entire genre of movie, and it's my favorite genre of movie.
00:35:46.340 Yep.
00:35:46.640 Yep.
00:35:47.780 Yep.
00:35:48.740 And it predated Jennifer Lawrence by a lot.
00:35:51.800 By a lot?
00:35:52.720 By a lot.
00:35:53.160 It's not a close call.
00:35:54.320 No, it's really not.
00:35:55.320 Now, Atomic Blonde was after Hunger Games, if I'm not saying it.
00:35:58.060 It was.
00:35:58.400 I think it was 2015.
00:35:59.500 2015.
00:36:00.200 Yeah.
00:36:00.580 By the way, there are plans of an Atomic Blonde 2.
00:36:04.140 Oh, really?
00:36:05.180 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:06.100 You better do that soon.
00:36:06.280 I'm not saying I've looked, because I have many times, because I want a sequel.
00:36:11.020 I think my favorite genre right now is documentaries.
00:36:14.720 I don't know what it is about documentaries.
00:36:16.060 I can't get enough of them.
00:36:17.860 Yeah, I don't even count that, because I'm a huge documentary guy.
00:36:21.480 I've loved them forever.
00:36:23.020 I'll watch almost any documentary.
00:36:24.820 And Netflix has about 714,000 of them.
00:36:28.920 So many of them.
00:36:30.100 I mean, I'm just scanning through the movies like you do on Netflix, and I thought, David Geffen has a documentary?
00:36:36.780 I'm watching it.
00:36:37.580 Music and movie mogul David Geffen?
00:36:39.900 Gotta see that.
00:36:40.860 Yeah.
00:36:41.380 And before I know it, I'm watching it.
00:36:43.480 Bruce Lee.
00:36:44.240 Oh, my gosh.
00:36:45.100 There's something on Bruce Lee?
00:36:46.460 Why don't I do a deep dive into his life, which I've been on lately?
00:36:50.600 A woman was killed in 1978 in suspicious circumstances, and we never solved it?
00:36:55.920 Wait.
00:36:56.140 I've got to watch it.
00:36:56.580 I've got to find out what happened to this person I never heard of.
00:37:00.120 It's incredible.
00:37:00.880 The true crime stuff.
00:37:01.540 Does the true crime stuff suck you in at all?
00:37:03.720 It does.
00:37:04.640 It does.
00:37:05.140 Yeah, it does.
00:37:05.580 When they come out with new stuff, I don't necessarily jump on the bandwagon right away,
00:37:11.880 but three minutes into it, I'm locked in for the entire series.
00:37:15.160 Oh, yeah.
00:37:15.440 I don't know what it is.
00:37:17.220 I've been to several of the CrimeCon events.
00:37:19.440 Do you know these things?
00:37:20.140 CrimeCon?
00:37:20.720 CrimeCon.
00:37:21.180 It's a true crime convention.
00:37:22.840 It's like the biggest true crime convention in the United States.
00:37:24.480 And you've gone to a convention of it?
00:37:25.940 They're awesome.
00:37:26.800 Are you kidding me?
00:37:27.580 Yeah.
00:37:27.860 They're really cool.
00:37:28.940 They happen once a year, I think.
00:37:31.240 Here?
00:37:31.760 In the DFW?
00:37:32.860 No, it's all around the country.
00:37:33.760 Okay.
00:37:34.240 And they're really, really cool.
00:37:36.820 And they always have the best...
00:37:38.860 They'll take whatever the big Netflix series is.
00:37:41.340 They have the lead attorney who is actually arguing the case.
00:37:45.820 And they bring them in and they tell their whole story.
00:37:47.320 They have the presentation, the photos, the documents.
00:37:49.760 They try to solve the case.
00:37:50.980 It's really interesting.
00:37:52.480 And it's one of those things.
00:37:53.200 It's just a rabbit hole.
00:37:54.420 Yeah.
00:37:54.660 Because you start getting into the true crime stuff.
00:37:56.200 There is endless content.
00:37:58.840 It's all really good.
00:38:01.020 It's amazing how many murders have not been solved.
00:38:03.360 Yes.
00:38:03.980 It's scary.
00:38:04.720 You would think it's only happened a couple of times.
00:38:06.240 About 80% of the murders that happen aren't solved.
00:38:09.500 That's my impression.
00:38:10.380 If you look at Netflix, I believe we solve 1% of all murders.
00:38:14.800 It does look like that.
00:38:17.000 And the ones that we do solve, we're always wrong on.
00:38:19.780 The poor people are always improperly imprisoned. 1.00
00:38:23.060 That's the Netflix lesson.
00:38:24.540 We don't solve any murders.
00:38:25.620 And when we do solve them, they're wrong.
00:38:26.940 But that's another reason for another documentary.
00:38:30.340 Yes.
00:38:30.600 We do a documentary on the person who spent 35 years in prison wrongly accused.
00:38:36.560 I'm a sucker for that stuff, too.
00:38:38.140 I am, too.
00:38:38.800 I love it.
00:38:40.040 I mean, like, some of the characters are so freaking crazy.
00:38:44.480 And some of the stories are so crazy.
00:38:46.140 And they do what Law & Order does to you, where no matter what their pitch is, you sort
00:38:52.420 of believe it.
00:38:53.000 Like, it's really hard for me to be critical when I'm watching those things.
00:38:56.020 And this is, of course, why they make documentaries for political positions.
00:38:59.540 Because I don't know the details.
00:39:00.920 I'm not an investigator.
00:39:02.160 I'm not involved in the day-to-day investigations of crime.
00:39:06.540 And based on the stuff they show you, they can lead you down the trail.
00:39:09.160 Like, you watch these documentaries.
00:39:10.320 You're like, oh, my gosh.
00:39:10.940 How come they won't let this guy out of prison?
00:39:12.440 Right.
00:39:12.620 And then you, like, Google it.
00:39:14.760 And the person's like, actually, we have film of him doing it.
00:39:17.200 Like, wait, they didn't include that?
00:39:19.300 Why?
00:39:19.500 That seems like an important element that should have been in the documentary.
00:39:23.920 You should have told us they had film of him doing it, like, right at the beginning of
00:39:28.120 the documentary, I think.
00:39:29.780 They don't do that.
00:39:30.780 Na, na, na, na.
