00:00:00.000 What are you doing this weekend?
00:00:01.200 It's a question I ask myself approximately noon on Saturday.
00:00:06.400 Noon on Saturday?
00:00:07.200 Yeah, and when I say I ask myself...
00:00:09.120 You ask your wife.
00:00:09.740 I ask my wife.
00:00:10.280 She tells me what we're doing.
00:00:11.740 I already asked my wife.
00:00:12.860 I asked my wife yesterday, and I was like,
00:00:14.880 please tell me we don't have anything to do this weekend.
00:00:17.580 Please, please, I just want some time off.
00:00:20.000 She's like, we have this, and we have this, and we have this.
00:00:22.300 Then Saturday we have this, and then you have this.
00:00:24.900 And I'm like, okay, are you trying to tell me that we don't?
00:00:29.600 And she's like, yeah, but we have Sunday free.
00:00:31.580 And I'm like, oh, great.
00:00:33.820 Yeah, actually, now I'm thinking about it.
00:00:35.660 This is one of the few weekends my son does not have 914 baseball games.
00:00:39.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:00:39.840 So I think we're basically any pumpkin patch in the state of Texas,
00:00:46.080 you may very well find us there.
00:00:47.580 We're just diving into fall.
00:00:50.020 I'm wondering, how many chess tournaments are there if you're in chess club?
00:00:54.540 I was convinced my daughter she should join chess club.
00:00:57.260 If there's only three tournaments a year.
00:01:00.540 Right.
00:01:00.760 Okay.
00:01:01.380 Yeah.
00:01:01.680 I'll drive you to that.
00:01:03.640 Parents need to devise something that seems like a really great activity,
00:01:07.920 but has no responsibilities for parents.
00:01:10.140 I have one.
00:01:10.900 I have one.
00:01:11.740 It's called the 1970s.
00:01:13.940 Go outside and play.
00:01:16.660 Oh, you're going to play baseball?
00:01:18.060 Get all your friends in the neighborhood?
00:01:19.520 Yeah, just be careful, you know,
00:01:21.140 because that empty lot's got a lot of broken glass in it.
00:01:25.020 So pick it out of your feet and keep playing.
00:01:28.760 Anyway, here is today's podcast.
00:01:30.780 It's a great one you don't want to miss.

00:01:48.040 Anyway, I started taking Relief Factor and I have to tell you,
00:01:52.000 it changed my life and so many people right into the show.

00:02:13.980 Here's the podcast.
00:02:18.040 You're listening to
00:02:24.480 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:30.340 Hello, Stu.
00:02:31.360 How are you?
00:02:32.100 Glenn, how are you?
00:02:32.700 Oh! 0.60
00:02:34.900 Do you even need to ask?
00:02:37.520 You look happy as usual.
00:02:40.040 Yes, thank you.
00:02:41.200 Well adjusted.
00:02:42.080 Thank you.
00:02:43.560 You're welcome.
00:02:44.060 Thank you.
00:02:45.140 An optimistic future lays ahead.
00:02:48.380 I have, I mean, I've had quite a week.
00:02:51.300 I've had about six hours sleep this week.
00:02:53.800 Oh, that's good.
00:02:54.620 Combined?
00:02:55.660 Combined.
00:02:56.360 So I'm really, really good.
00:02:58.280 And then I get to go home and go and drive for about 14 hours to my son's football game.
00:03:07.180 It's an away game someplace in Texas.
00:03:11.340 Oh, this is the only time I miss the East Coast.
00:03:16.260 Right.
00:03:16.760 Where, like, you know, the whole, you could drive the whole state and back in, like, 25 minutes.
00:03:21.840 Right.
00:03:22.140 You know what I mean?
00:03:22.660 Yes, here.
00:03:23.560 No.
00:03:24.080 Oh, my gosh.
00:03:25.440 Yeah.
00:03:25.660 So I'm excited about that.
00:03:27.700 I'm excited about that.
00:03:29.380 But I got this show in front of me.
00:03:31.920 And this show is just full of good stuff.
00:03:34.980 I've actually got good news for you.
00:03:37.180 I mean, not three hours worth, but I got some good news for you.
00:03:41.780 So at some point during the next three hours.
00:03:44.080 I'm going to start with it.
00:03:45.880 Somebody asked me last night, they said, Glenn, what do you really think about the election?
00:03:51.120 And I'm like, could people stop asking me what do I really think?
00:03:53.880 I tell you every day.
00:03:55.500 It's not like I have, you know, I got to tell you, I'm so optimistic right now.
00:04:01.240 I mean, I don't have a secondary opinion on stuff.
00:04:04.160 As someone who spent multiple decades as your executive producer, the problem is he says what he really believes too much.
00:04:10.900 That's the real issue we've had with the show over the years.
00:04:16.060 It's not hiding anything.
00:04:17.600 Right.
00:04:17.860 So they say, what do you really think?
00:04:19.360 And I said, you know what?
00:04:20.160 Let me say it this way.
00:04:21.620 But if this were any other time in American history, I would think that this is going to be a red tidal wave.
00:04:32.680 Just a tidal wave that will collapse the Democratic Party possibly forever.
00:04:40.440 OK.
00:04:40.900 Wow.
00:04:41.540 Yeah.
00:04:41.860 You'd think with the performance of the last couple of years, that would be what we'd be looking at here.
00:04:45.440 And the fact that they're still fighting for, you know, hey, pedophilia is not so bad.
00:04:50.160 Uh, you would think that this would put them out of business forever.
00:04:55.980 They just added that to the Democratic platform, by the way.
00:04:58.200 Pedophilia is not so bad. 0.55
00:04:59.760 Yeah.
00:05:00.040 That's just a quick line.
00:05:01.740 Did you see what they're doing in Virginia?
00:05:03.600 We're going to talk about this later.
00:05:04.640 You see what Virginia is doing? 0.99
00:05:06.300 The Virginia Democrats are trying to pass a law.
00:05:09.280 It's not going to pass, but it might in, what, four years when the governor is gone or six years when he can't run again.
00:05:16.500 Um, the Democratic legislature is putting in that parents must, um, affirm their child's chosen gender or they can have their kids taken away from them.
00:05:31.180 They're actually trying to pass that law now.
00:05:33.900 Have they learned nothing?
00:05:35.020 Nothing.
00:05:35.500 Here you are in a state that's really a blue leaning state and you have a Republican governor just because of things like that.
00:05:42.040 Yeah, I know.
00:05:42.880 So they're trying to pass that.
00:05:44.840 And, um, you know, usually you would think, well, that's suicide, but no, no, they're just going for it.
00:05:52.620 And what, what is crazy to me is so many things have been made political that are just, it's clouding everybody's vision, everybody's vision.
00:06:03.080 You know, you, you, you want to talk about pedophilia.
00:06:06.180 Let's talk about pedophilia, but can we do it without saying, yeah, but Trump, can we not make this about politics?
00:06:13.360 And instead about the molestation of our children, you know what I mean?
00:06:17.680 So I would be very optimistic any other time, but I can no longer predict America because half of America is a psycho.
00:06:26.420 They've just lost touch with reality.
00:06:33.860 However, the other point B on this one, on the downside is, uh, I would think it would be an absolute red wave if I had belief in the system.
00:06:47.140 You know what I mean?
00:06:48.500 I am, I'm shell shocked enough to say, I'm not sure this is going to be free and fair.
00:06:56.040 Um, and you'll like, for instance, you will, you could convince me that, uh, Donald Trump won in a landslide, but I need evidence and I don't have the evidence.
00:07:11.800 I have things we should follow and things we should check out.
00:07:15.780 I mean, nobody's following, you know, Dinesh D'Souza's, uh, uh, breadcrumbs.
00:07:22.220 We need an official group to sit down and really, truly follow it, but that's not going to happen.
00:07:29.780 So you could convince me that he won in a landslide.
00:07:32.540 You can convince me that he lost, but you will never convince me that they didn't at least try to do everything they can to throw this election.
00:07:43.760 Okay.
00:07:44.720 There's, there's no way that you can convince me that the Democrats didn't use every tool in their toolbox to rig this last election.
00:07:54.880 Would you agree with that?
00:07:56.020 I mean, if you had, if you picture a scenario in which, um, I don't know, Kamala Harris is sitting in a room by herself and there's a button that says that she could switch the election to them winning instead of the Republicans.
00:08:07.160 Clearly they'd press it.
00:08:08.580 Right.
00:08:09.020 If the question is just how difficult it is to pull something like that off, but I don't have any, any hesitation at all in that if they had the opportunity and felt they could pull it off.
00:08:21.480 And they did.
00:08:22.100 I mean, you know, they did.
00:08:23.660 I'm not saying they did pull it off, but they had the opportunity and they tried every, by changing laws, by drop boxes, certainly by changing laws before the election took place.
00:08:34.720 They definitely tried to tilt the playing field in their, in their, in their advantage.
00:08:38.720 So I don't have any faith that they're not going to try that again.
00:08:42.960 And their arrogance, like let's take children away from their parents.
00:08:47.660 Let's sign this new law.
00:08:49.200 A couple of weeks before the election, the arrogance that is either suicidal arrogance.
00:08:55.020 Or it is, it's like, don't worry about it.
00:09:00.080 Everything's taken care of.
00:09:01.280 You know what I mean?
00:09:01.840 And I don't want to think that way because I do think that this, this election, you got to go out and vote.
00:09:07.960 I know I am.
00:09:09.920 And everybody's got to go out and vote.
00:09:12.480 I believe we can just overwhelm the ballot box this time.
00:09:17.320 And we talked about this a little bit on Studios America on, on Wednesday's show that the messaging of the election is going to be stolen is really dangerous for Republicans.
00:09:28.180 Because honestly, like if you believe that, then why go, why go, right?
00:09:32.440 I mean, then that, that's what happened, I think, in Georgia, in the runoffs, right?
00:09:36.180 You know, there was so much messaging around, oh, this was stolen.
00:09:39.600 Don't, they're never going to count your vote anyway.
00:09:42.440 That's how Warnock got in.
00:09:43.400 Warnock and, uh, and, uh, Ossoff both got in that way.
00:09:47.300 And it's also the reason we just spent $5 trillion because they got control of the Senate by the slimmest of majorities.
00:09:56.620 Right.
00:09:56.760 So, um, and I, and I don't think that they have it locked down where they can guarantee, I think they'll try, they're trying, but I, you know, shenanigans.
00:10:06.100 Yeah.
00:10:06.340 I believe this is, we are going to win.
00:10:09.460 The thing that has bothered me, and here comes the good news.
00:10:12.280 The thing that has bothered me was the arrogance until yesterday.
00:10:18.300 Joe Biden giving a speech.
00:10:20.320 He says, I'm telling you, no joke, folks.
00:10:25.080 Um, inflation's going to get much worse if Republicans win.
00:10:29.580 And I thought, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, he's admitting that inflation exists and he knows, everybody knows, it's going to get much worse.
00:10:42.520 But he's signaling now, if they win, that's how we're going to defend.
00:10:49.300 We're just going to push it all on the Republican Congress.
00:10:53.920 You watch.
00:10:55.740 They, he's just signaled.
00:10:58.240 There's a possibility we're not going to take this thing.
00:11:00.900 And so he's starting to play the cards now.
00:11:04.520 You watch.
00:11:05.440 By January, by January, they'll be sworn in for like 20 minutes.
00:11:10.300 And Joe Biden and the media will be saying, inflation is out of control.
00:11:15.060 And this do nothing Congress is only making things worse.
00:11:19.640 Okay.
00:11:20.320 He just played that card yesterday.
00:11:23.620 I've never seen him play that card before.
00:11:25.840 Have you?
00:11:26.900 No.
00:11:27.360 He's not even, he doesn't even, he doesn't even really admit that there is inflation or that it's going to be a problem.
00:11:33.400 It was transitory up until 10 minutes ago.
00:11:35.520 Yes.
00:11:36.380 So that gives me great optimism.
00:11:39.020 So this is, you're saying this is a preview of their argument when they lose because he believes they will lose.
00:11:45.140 Yes.
00:11:45.760 Or they're talking about it.
00:11:47.580 I don't know if he believes anything or does anything other than.
00:11:50.460 Right.
00:11:51.220 They're talking.
00:11:52.360 I don't know who said this.
00:11:54.000 Oops.
00:11:54.320 I guess I shouldn't have said that out loud.
00:11:55.980 Right.
00:11:56.520 You know what I mean?
00:11:57.520 So, but it's being discussed and he played it yesterday.
00:12:02.060 I like your optimism.
00:12:03.240 I, we've heard this from a bunch of conservative commentators recently that there's going to be this red wave.
00:12:08.720 And I think there's a chance of it.
00:12:10.560 I'm not as confident as everybody else seems to be.
00:12:12.840 No, I know.
00:12:13.380 And it could be a, in a normal period of time, this would be Reagan-Mondale.
00:12:23.360 This would be 49 out of 50 states.
00:12:26.720 Just red.
00:12:28.660 Yeah, I mean, look, obviously we don't have a presidential election.
00:12:32.820 Right.
00:12:32.920 There's not even state, elections in 50 states for the Senate.
00:12:36.720 I know that.
00:12:37.300 But what I'm saying is the equivalent of that.
00:12:39.420 The equivalent of that in the midterms.
00:12:41.440 It would just be, it would be a stunning victory in normal times.
00:12:46.800 Yeah, one thing that's interesting about looking at this as a wave, right?
00:12:50.560 We look back at the 2010 election as a wave election, the biggest wave in the past century.
00:12:56.900 That was the Tea Party wave.
00:12:59.520 And so many seats were won by Republicans.
00:13:02.660 There was, I can't remember the number, but it was close to like 100 seats.
00:13:05.440 I mean, it was an incredibly high number.
00:13:06.960 Because of the starting point this time, though, in the House, the House is just a razor thin majority for, so if you can get to 200, 240 seats is arguably the high watermark that Republicans could shoot for rationally.
00:13:23.040 In a wave election, they could get into that vicinity.
00:13:26.760 If that happens, that is a wave election.
00:13:29.160 Oh, yeah.
00:13:29.520 People won't talk about it as much that way.
00:13:31.440 But that's what, but that's how we have to frame this.
00:13:34.000 The seats that are available are not in Republicans' favor, okay?
00:13:43.000 In 2024, it's the exact opposite.
00:13:47.400 It's all in Republicans' favor, okay?
00:13:50.640 So, and that makes a difference.
00:13:52.540 And that's in the Senate, yeah.
00:13:53.720 Yeah.
00:13:53.980 So, yeah, in the House.
00:13:55.640 Everybody's up for every two years.
00:13:56.940 Everybody's up every two years.
00:13:58.420 And you talk about a huge wave coming.
00:14:02.060 You could wind up with tons and tons of seats, a large majority.
00:14:07.840 Or you could see a narrow victory for Republicans that at least will still block the worst instincts of the Democrats, but will not be enough to really move the needle.
00:14:22.900 In a way of saying, like, there's a mandate for what Republicans are trying to do, whatever that is.
00:14:28.680 You know, it's just, I think at this point, you know, we talked about this on your election special the other night.
00:14:34.500 There is an instinct from Republicans right now to say, look, we just need to not be them.
00:14:40.600 If we're just not them, we'll win.
00:14:42.460 Yeah.
00:14:42.600 And I do think that there's something to that.
00:14:45.240 Yes.
00:14:45.720 Right?
00:14:45.960 Like, you probably, if you are just, we are not going to do the same things Joe Biden is doing, you probably will win.
00:14:52.420 But that's not going to give you a mandate going forward for decades of leadership.
00:14:56.280 No.
00:14:56.560 That might win you a midterm.
00:14:57.960 Yes.
00:14:58.560 Yes.
00:14:58.960 And that's short-term thinking.
00:15:00.200 Correct.
00:15:00.480 However, let me, let me tell you what I think, because he said yesterday, you know, it's going to get much worse if Republicans win.
00:15:09.880 All right.
00:15:10.440 So let me tell you what I think is going to happen.
00:15:13.800 The Republicans will win the House and the Senate.
00:15:17.060 From my mouth to God's ear, please, Lord, please.
00:15:21.140 And inflation is going to get much, much worse.
00:15:24.800 How could you possibly say that?
00:15:26.220 Well, I mean, something's weird about this stuff with Jamie Dimon.
00:15:30.900 Let me just say that.
00:15:31.660 We'll get to that maybe some other day.
00:15:33.780 But he is coming out and he is saying, I told you that it was a hurricane, category five, back in the summer.
00:15:42.400 I'm telling you, I was underestimating what is coming.
00:15:46.380 Came out yesterday and said, there is a 30% drop in the market from here that is about to hit.
00:15:54.820 30% market drop.
00:15:58.120 That is massive, massive.
00:16:02.600 And, you know, dogs and cats are going to be living together.
00:16:06.300 It's going to be ugly.
00:16:08.340 So the Republicans will be blamed for everything by the media and the Democrats.
00:16:17.480 And they'll say it's a do-nothing Congress.
00:16:19.240 And because we have a do-nothing Congress, we're going to have to take some emergency actions.
00:16:26.340 And this president is going to start dictating.
00:16:31.220 And he's also, I mean, he already is, but worse.
00:16:34.260 And he's also going to put into action his little foot soldiers of BLM and TIFA and everything else.
00:16:43.560 They're not related.
00:16:44.500 They don't know.
00:16:46.640 You're going to start to see real trouble again on the streets.
00:16:50.220 And it's going to all be tied to like an Occupy Wall Street kind of thing.
00:16:54.780 They're going to bail us.
00:16:56.020 These people are going to, and we're not getting, we need these Republicans to step aside so we can just start giving money to the people.
00:17:02.820 And it's going to get ugly.
00:17:04.440 It's going to get ugly.
00:17:05.600 And we're going to need to help each other and come together.
00:17:08.640 They're not telling you this now, but I'm, I am telling you, I don't know why we keep saying we're going to be in a recession.
00:17:17.320 We're in a recession and things are going to get bad.
00:17:20.580 They are bad.
00:17:22.460 You know, how bad can a recession get?
00:17:25.140 I think we're headed for a depression and then a complete collapse of the U.S. dollar within the next five years.
00:17:33.740 So just mentally prepare for that and then think, what do I have to do to make sure my friends, my neighborhood, my family, my community is set to weather that storm?
00:17:48.700 Because when you get a, you know, marauding people that are just hungry in the cities and angry and they're spurred on by crazy politicians, what do you do to keep your community safe?
00:18:04.840 That's the way you have to start thinking because it's going to get in.
00:18:09.700 Did you notice that it was the streets were on fire?
00:18:12.520 Biden wins.
00:18:16.420 No one knows how to get to the streets anymore.
00:18:18.240 Yeah, it's like, I don't, Molotov cocktail, that sounds lovely, darling.
00:18:23.040 Can you make a Molotov cocktail for me, please?
00:18:25.340 Remarkable.
00:18:26.640 Remarkable.
00:18:27.340 The second they got their power.
00:18:29.280 And the second they lose the power, it's coming back.
00:18:33.260 It's coming back.
00:18:34.400 Remember, I told you how they took over in the, in Hungary, the Soviets. 0.89
00:18:41.020 They have, they have control at the top.
00:18:43.560 They get their foot soldiers on the bottom to rise up and cause so much chaos.
00:18:49.940 This is what happened in Germany as well.
00:18:52.660 So much chaos.
00:18:53.980 The top has no choice but to come down and build a cage for everybody because the average people are calling out for help.
00:19:02.040 Help.
00:19:02.180 Somebody's got to help us.
00:19:04.700 Strengthen your state and your local community so that is not the cry from you.
00:19:12.020 Stand guard, America.
00:19:13.480 Stand guard.
00:19:15.020 But we make it.
00:19:15.860 It's going to be good.
00:19:16.860 Oh my gosh, I'm so positive today.
00:19:18.560 This is very concerning.
00:19:20.040 Oh yeah.
00:19:20.420 You should panic because I'm positive.
00:19:22.520 If you have a panic room, you should be in it already.
00:19:24.700 Lock yourself in.
00:19:25.580 I'm going in there now.
00:19:26.820 Take a break, but I'm not coming back.
00:19:28.780 I'm not coming out of that room.
00:19:33.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:35.820 And we really want to thank you for listening.
00:19:42.500 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:43.900 It is Friday.
00:19:44.420 We have Michael Malice joining us.
00:19:46.180 He is the host of Your Welcome, the podcast.
00:19:50.360 And he is a big lover of freedom of speech.
00:19:53.380 And no matter how you feel about Alex Jones, a billion dollars, a billion dollars in damages
00:20:05.180 is should be chilling to every American and especially broadcasters.
00:20:12.180 Welcome to the program.
00:20:13.300 Michael, how are you?
00:20:14.640 Thanks so much, Glenn.
00:20:15.700 I think it's even more right.
00:20:17.380 Isn't a billion just the damages and there's going to be a punitive phase on top of this?
00:20:24.040 And there's a whole nother case in Connecticut ready to go.
00:20:26.980 So, I mean, it's going to you're right.
00:20:27.880 It's going to be probably multiple billions of dollars before this.
00:20:30.620 Well, no, I think this was the Connecticut.
00:20:32.140 There's the Texas one, which was like 45 or whatever.
00:20:34.720 And this was the Connecticut one.
00:20:36.220 So there's one more to go.
00:20:37.560 One more to go.
00:20:38.400 Oh, boy.
00:20:40.340 Yeah.
00:20:40.700 Oh, boy.
00:20:41.220 I mean, what's kind of insane.
00:20:43.460 I tweeted it out this week, OJ Simpson, when he was sued for the wrongful deaths of Nicole
00:20:48.900 Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, he only had to pay out a $33 million settlement.
00:20:55.320 So to put this in perspective, the numbers for actually killing two people is a tiny percent
00:21:01.020 of this is as gross as it is to discuss this.
00:21:05.340 Juries every day have to adjudicate wrongful death or, you know, if someone dies in a car
00:21:10.780 wreck or something, how much that estate is owed.
00:21:13.600 And the numbers are nowhere near as close to this.
00:21:17.040 So there's just no concept here of proportionality in terms of, you know, and in addition, you
00:21:23.540 know, you see people like, well, you know, look what he did to these parents.
00:21:26.680 It's like what was done to the parents pales in comparison to what the shooter did.
00:21:32.160 You know, that was where the real damages were.
00:21:34.640 And he's being charged with much more than what they had to suffer through at the hands
00:21:40.680 of that madman.
00:21:41.600 So there was no there was no closure, I think, for the parents because the gunman shot himself.
00:21:49.360 And so, you know, Alex Jones, I think this was a despicable thing to to perpetrate.
00:21:55.480 However, you know, there are a lot of bad people or bad opinions or whatever that are out there.
00:22:03.000 You can't take your grief out on on somebody and their freedom of speech.
00:22:11.500 And I think part of this was you feel so bad for the parents, horrible for the parents, for
00:22:18.020 the shooting and then for what they had to endure.
00:22:20.640 But you you you can't do that.
00:22:24.000 I mean, what is the point of a billion dollars?
00:22:26.500 He's not going to be able to pay it.
00:22:28.640 So what is the point here?
00:22:31.340 Well, when people talk about issues like this, I always try to bring something innovative to
00:22:35.640 the conversation as much as I can.
00:22:37.700 And I think we all forgot because we all have the you know, when you have a president who
00:22:41.420 has Alzheimer's, it kind of becomes leadership.
00:22:43.800 And we all have issues with our memory.
00:22:45.780 But we're all forgetting that Peter Thiel took out Gawker.
00:22:48.340 I just thought of that as I was waking up this morning, which is, you know, Gawker outed
00:22:53.360 him.
00:22:54.140 Gawker was a series of websites head in New York, very malevolent in many capacities.
00:23:01.180 And Peter was like, you know what?
00:23:02.900 These these people cannot stand.
00:23:05.080 And he funded a lawsuit by Hulk Hogan.
00:23:07.440 Why Hulk Hogan would need funding is not really clear to me.
00:23:10.420 Hulk Hogan being a very successful athlete actor for decades.
00:23:13.780 And they actually managed to take down the Gawker empire and drove Nick Denton, the owner,
00:23:18.880 into bankruptcy.
00:23:20.240 But at the same time, you know, what people are concerned about, very understandably, is
00:23:24.380 they're trying to make Alex Jones an example.
00:23:26.360 And what effect is this going to have in other broadcasters?
00:23:29.060 When Gawker was destroyed, it did not at all reign in the vitriol in Internet media,
00:23:34.900 from my perspective, at least.
00:23:37.060 Yeah.
00:23:37.200 You know, Michael, I had the same thought.
00:23:39.120 I would not be surprised at all if we find out after this that somebody is funding these
00:23:44.520 suits.
00:23:45.240 They're so like they're so targeted to this one guy.
00:23:48.340 And again, like, you know, whatever you think about Alex Jones, if if you want a central
00:23:52.680 theory he's really responsible for, you'd say the 9-11 theory.
00:23:57.280 Yeah.
00:23:57.500 Right.
00:23:57.880 He was not I don't think the leader on the Sandy Hook thing at all.
00:24:01.780 Even I went through their entire complaint.
00:24:04.080 They have about 12 instances of him even talking about it.
00:24:06.980 You know, like and the idea that you you go after a host for saying something that he
00:24:13.200 admits was is wrong now, a wrong opinion, because people who may or may not have heard
00:24:21.260 that theory from him, they could have heard it from anywhere else on the Internet, went
00:24:25.680 and harassed these parents.
00:24:27.020 The people who should be held responsible for that harassment are the people who did it.
00:24:30.920 The people who actually went up to these poor parents and harassed them in real life.
00:24:35.120 Those are the people that should be charged with this stuff.
00:24:37.740 And by way of peril, Sarah Palin recently sued The New York Times because she was accused
00:24:43.780 by them of being behind the Gabby Gifford shooting and things like this.
00:24:48.240 And her case was dismissed out of court.
00:24:50.340 So there is it's certainly the legal system, which I'm obviously not a fan of being an anarchist,
00:24:55.460 often leads to kind of these outcomes which just seem to be completely incoherent in relation
00:25:01.220 to other cases and situations like this.
00:25:04.480 I mean, I think, you know, if the worst comes to pass and Infowars is taken down and Alex
00:25:11.720 has to file bankruptcy, he's not going to go away.
00:25:14.740 They're not literally removing his tongue or the existence of microphones on Earth.
00:25:19.200 This is not going to functionally silence him.
00:25:21.360 So I do think this is, you know, meant to make an example, but I think it's going to
00:25:27.660 have a counter effect because it's going to make people that much more of the view that
00:25:33.400 there are forces out there designed to silence any questioning of official narratives.
00:25:39.300 And Michael, when you when you look at at this, I mean, OJ Simpson, he just declared bankruptcy
00:25:45.660 and he was off playing golf and they tried to say, you know, look at the money you have.
00:25:50.960 And he's like, no, no, no, I'm just this is money I'm just making today.
00:25:55.240 And, you know, he got around all of it and, you know, had a pretty sweet life.
00:26:01.000 I mean, what what what is the point again?
00:26:05.440 What is the point of all of this?
00:26:08.140 Because it's not going to be paid.
00:26:10.860 Is it really truly in your eyes something that is just trying to scare people like me
00:26:17.860 or others, you from speaking out and questioning the truth?
00:26:21.980 Because that's not going to work.
00:26:24.040 I'm not going to stop, I think.
00:26:26.200 But in their perspective, they don't know what else to do, because Alex Jones was decreed
00:26:29.900 a non-person like several other people you and I can name that we've probably been friends
00:26:33.720 with at one point.
00:26:34.500 And he was officially supposed to have vanished.
00:26:37.120 And the fact that he was driven off of all forms of social media and that he still has
00:26:41.640 an audience and that he still can be, you know, I had him on my podcast a couple of times.
00:26:46.340 You know, I could reach an audience with him as a guest.
00:26:48.860 It wasn't forbidden like some other people.
00:26:51.760 This really drove some very bad people crazy because it was the rule that you do not talk
00:26:58.460 to this person.
00:26:59.360 He is persona non grata.
00:27:01.440 And the fact that he's actually beloved and regarded by some people, even those who don't
00:27:06.500 like him as perhaps a buffoon, as opposed to a dangerous threat, that is a problem because
00:27:11.780 it was like 2016.
00:27:13.520 You cannot vote for Trump.
00:27:15.520 We have told you.
00:27:16.520 All these organizations have said this person is off limits.
00:27:19.760 And when the reverse happened, they really didn't know what to do except double down.
00:27:24.720 So what does it mean for the future?
00:27:26.660 I think it means that people, you know, there was this tweet not that long ago that said
00:27:33.520 they should change the term conspiracy theory to spoiler alert.
00:27:37.740 I can't take credit for that great line.
00:27:42.300 That's a great line.
00:27:43.140 But the fact that we're seeing all this stuff coming out about Pfizer this week and, you
00:27:46.680 know, the things about social distancing never had a point and there's no even a pretense
00:27:50.940 that had a point.
00:27:52.340 I think Alex Jones is like Trump and they don't realize this, a symbol of something much
00:27:58.400 bigger.
00:27:59.040 And they think if they kill the head vampire, all the other vampires vanish.
00:28:03.080 And that's really not how it's going to work.
00:28:05.380 And this is really going to create a problem for those whose job it is to manufacture popular
00:28:09.940 opinions, especially when you go and look at Donald Trump.
00:28:12.580 What they've missed the whole time is Trump is not the disease.
00:28:16.280 Trump is a symptom and he's a symptom of people feeling like no one in Washington represents
00:28:23.680 them, listens to them, includes them in anything.
00:28:28.360 And that number of Americans is only growing.
00:28:31.800 And they think if we can put him in jail or take him down or discredit, that's going to
00:28:38.040 that's going to make that that group go away.
00:28:40.820 It's not going away.
00:28:42.160 It will only get bigger because you make people into a martyr.
00:28:47.080 Yeah, I said that exactly myself, that Trump is more useful as a martyr than as a president.
00:28:51.220 I'm very much looking forward to him speaking in front of the January 6th committee, because
00:28:56.360 talk about, you know, a carnival.
00:28:58.780 It is going to be the sideshow to end all sideshows, to watch him staring down Liz Cheney.
00:29:03.240 They're not going to be able to keep him quiet.
00:29:04.800 He can't keep himself quiet.
00:29:06.200 It's going to be absolutely hilarious.
00:29:08.000 So do you think he hurts himself by doing it?
00:29:11.060 No, I think because Trump has been in many ways effectively silenced, you know, he's
00:29:17.380 not on Twitter.
00:29:18.040 That was his main venue of getting his words out there.
00:29:20.700 I know he's now on Troth Central, but whatever to have him and have network coverage, something
00:29:25.020 that they're trying to avoid.
00:29:26.140 They're trying to vanish the guy.
00:29:27.780 He's the former president.
00:29:29.020 That is going to be I think that the memes are going to be epic alone.
00:29:32.400 Oh, and I think it would be must watch TV.
00:29:35.620 I think that is the only thing that I've seen politically in the last maybe four years,
00:29:42.980 three years that will actually draw a large audience to television.
00:29:49.140 People will watch that.
00:29:50.820 I think they really think that watching Liz Cheney carrying out and wag her finger at
00:29:56.160 him and scold him and he's going to sit there like a petulant child and everyone's going
00:30:00.580 to get up and clap.
00:30:01.740 These people, since there's so much of their views are informed by Hollywood, think real
00:30:05.680 life works like a Hollywood movie and you get to tell off the bad guy and he throws his
00:30:09.740 hat on the floor and, you know, just shakes his fists.
00:30:12.560 That's that's not reality.
00:30:13.840 You're not going to talk over Donald Trump.
00:30:15.920 It is an interesting time to live.
00:30:21.880 Last question.
00:30:22.620 More optimistic, less optimistic that from from last week that the election is going to
00:30:31.840 be headed in the red direction.
00:30:36.360 You think it's a wave, a tidal wave, a wave or just a little wash up?
00:30:41.780 I think all the polls are showing undecideds are breaking.
00:30:45.720 Towards Republicans, which is the historical norm.
00:30:48.460 And I think election night when we're all going to be covering the events, it's going
00:30:52.340 to be absolutely hilarious to watch.
00:30:53.980 My one hope is John Fetterman becomes the senator from Pennsylvania because I'm a JFK truther.
00:31:01.380 I don't think there was any shooter.
00:31:02.840 I think his head just did that.
00:31:05.760 And John Fetterman is going to be the first senator whose brain explodes live on the floor
00:31:12.340 of the Senate, covering everyone in his brain parts.
00:31:15.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:31:16.680 Oh, my gosh.
00:31:17.200 I can't wait.
00:31:17.860 And I'm glad that you're on the panel.
00:31:19.780 I'm glad that you're on the panel that night.
00:31:22.600 Believe me, this is going to be election night coverage that you're not going to see any place
00:31:27.180 else.
00:31:28.100 We've got a guy who believes Kennedy's head just simultaneously exploded.
00:31:32.920 That's good.
00:31:34.160 It's going to be a lot of fun, Michael.
00:31:35.740 Thank you very much.
00:31:36.960 God bless.
00:31:37.620 You bet.
00:31:39.140 You don't want to miss the blaze coverage this week.
00:31:41.580 That that week.
00:31:42.700 This is election week.
00:31:43.600 And I'm just going to announce it because I want you to make sure that you've made plans
00:31:48.000 for this.
00:31:48.460 I believe it is on the Saturday before I'll let or Saturday after and I'll let you know
00:31:53.160 for sure when we get closer to it.
00:31:55.340 But election night coverage is going to be unlike anything we've done.
00:31:59.780 You're going to love it.
00:32:02.740 Trust me.
00:32:03.920 And then the coverage on Saturday, the following Saturday, it is going to be.
00:32:12.420 How do you defend yourself when the ATF comes to your door?
00:32:18.280 How do you defend yourself with the IRS?
00:32:21.960 Who can help you if you're in a school board meeting?
00:32:25.680 How do you stand for your rights?
00:32:28.860 We have people who have already done it and done it incorrectly and now have learned the
00:32:34.980 lesson.
00:32:35.500 We have experts on the Constitution.
00:32:38.820 We have the whole thing ready for you.
00:32:42.100 So I think this is something for every single American.
00:32:47.020 I must watch.
00:32:48.360 It'll be the Saturday after the election.
00:32:50.660 We'll give you more details on that.
00:32:52.460 Sign up for Blaze TV.
00:32:54.060 This is a must watch.
00:32:56.420 Must watch.
00:32:57.640 And you'll also get that week.
00:32:59.620 The election coverage, which is lots of fun.
00:33:02.100 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:15.360 We welcome to the program now Nicole Levitt.
00:33:18.120 She is an attorney who found herself in a pretty difficult situation.
00:33:24.540 She's written a piece in Newsweek magazine.
00:33:27.180 I was asked to agree to white people are racist and sign a contract about that at work.
00:33:35.140 Nicole, welcome to the program.
00:33:37.560 Hi.
00:33:38.300 Thank you.
00:33:38.900 Thank you for having me.
00:33:39.860 You bet.
00:33:40.180 I imagine that you and I don't vote the same way.
00:33:46.360 And that's totally cool with me.
00:33:48.400 But your story, I think, is so important because even people that really radically disagree on politics should not be disagreeing on principles and the Bill of Rights as one of them.
00:34:05.840 You were working as an attorney in a private practice.
00:34:10.660 You also have a degree in psychology.
00:34:12.920 You worked as a therapist.
00:34:14.440 You were doing pro bono work.
00:34:16.400 And what were you working on in your job?
00:34:19.260 Okay.
00:34:19.400 So I work for a domestic violence agency.
00:34:24.360 Okay.
00:34:24.700 So I wasn't doing exactly pro bono work.
00:34:28.420 I'm getting paid.
00:34:29.540 But our clients are not paying us.
00:34:31.300 All right.
00:34:33.580 Okay.
00:34:34.220 And so I.
00:34:35.400 Okay.
00:34:35.660 Go ahead.
00:34:36.200 No, no, no.
00:34:36.600 Please go ahead.
00:34:37.880 Yeah.
00:34:38.240 I represent victims of domestic violence.
00:34:40.760 And I represent them mainly in custody court because they still have custody battles with their abusers.
00:34:49.400 And the children.
00:34:51.000 Yeah.
00:34:51.160 The children need to be protected.
00:34:52.620 And so do the women. 0.99
00:34:55.460 Okay.
00:34:57.060 Domestic violence is horrific.
00:35:00.620 And those people who have lived through it, know it, and those who deal with it every day, I think, are our heroes, especially when they are protecting people.
00:35:11.800 So that your job was to go in, represent them, help them.
00:35:15.340 These are people generally in poverty, I would imagine, in Philadelphia.
00:35:19.360 Yeah.
00:35:20.120 Yeah.
00:35:21.120 Go ahead.
00:35:21.840 We have, like, an income ceiling.
00:35:25.460 We can't represent them if they make over a certain amount of money.
00:35:28.600 So almost all of our clients are low income or working class.
00:35:35.340 Okay.
00:35:35.600 Are you a governmental agency?
00:35:38.840 No.
00:35:39.420 We're a private agency.
00:35:40.740 However, we do get government funding.
00:35:42.940 Okay.
00:35:43.220 So when George Floyd was murdered, this is the one time I think America United was on that day.
00:35:52.200 I think everybody who saw that was outraged by that, except maybe a handful of crazies.
00:35:58.580 But they were outraged by it.
00:36:00.280 And then it became political and a mess.
00:36:03.860 So that happened.
00:36:05.060 And I imagine your workplace was like my workplace that day.
00:36:08.840 But your place evolved into holding diversity, equity, and inclusion sessions, right?
00:36:17.500 Yes.
00:36:18.500 And at first, everyone did unite around what happened to George Floyd.
00:36:24.220 Right.
00:36:24.340 It was horrible.
00:36:25.380 And I don't think any thinking, feeling person could see that and not be moved against it.
00:36:31.280 Agree.
00:36:31.440 The problem came when that empathy was hijacked for what I say was an ideological cause.
00:36:42.100 And it got to the point where if you didn't agree with that ideology, if you dissented one step away from it, then, you know, you were outcast.
00:36:52.440 And you actually had affinity groups.
00:36:58.300 And so you had a white group and a black group?
00:37:02.840 Yes.
00:37:03.860 They divided us up according to skin color, which was something that I found so regressive and so offensive.
00:37:13.580 Reprehensible.
00:37:13.720 And that, yeah, I eventually said, I can't participate in those groups anymore.
00:37:20.140 And you have a special kind of something extra that makes you really worried about societies that do that.
00:37:28.940 You're also Jewish.
00:37:31.480 Yes.
00:37:32.020 Right.
00:37:32.700 And that played a role?
00:37:33.560 And it did, because the language that I heard used against white people mirrored what I what was said against Jews in the 1930s.
00:37:47.200 And I wholeheartedly reject that kind of dehumanizing language against any race or any group.
00:37:55.080 And if if anyone with a sense of history will tell you that things don't go well when that happens.
00:38:03.680 That's a that's a very nice way of saying it.
00:38:07.020 Yes.
00:38:07.600 Things become suboptimal.
00:38:10.000 Yes.
00:38:10.600 Yes.
00:38:11.040 Yes.
00:38:13.000 So you had they introduced something.
00:38:15.420 So you objected to going to the whites only group.
00:38:20.360 And then what happened after that?
00:38:25.080 So as an agency, we were bombarded with messages of anti-racism.
00:38:33.540 We were asked to attend a lot of different trainings and read a lot of different materials on like the Kenyan sense of anti-racism.
00:38:43.940 And that included like white people decolonize your bookshelves. 0.75
00:38:48.780 You read this, this and this.
00:38:52.420 And it was a lot.
00:38:54.080 We we were really bombarded with a lot of those messages.
00:38:57.560 Did you guys get any work done?
00:39:01.100 We did.
00:39:02.340 However, I was concerned about how much time we were spending on this and also big conversations like defund the police.
00:39:12.320 My my thinking was we need the police right now.
00:39:15.940 They're not a perfect solution to any domestic violence issue, but we need them.
00:39:20.560 So, yeah, the answer would be in better training about domestic violence situations, not about we have to defund the police because they are killing black and brown people every day.
00:39:34.980 Like that is the hysteria that I'd say took over the agency.
00:39:39.360 And it seemed to take over, you know, a lot of the country as well at that time.
00:39:43.680 So tell me about the full value contract that was introduced to you.
00:39:47.540 So it was a contract that was supposed to govern our meetings at the legal center and it was all fine.
00:39:58.700 Most of it was like, you know, listen respectfully to other people, accept other viewpoints, things like that.
00:40:05.860 But number five was own that all white people are racist and I am not the exception. 0.74
00:40:12.820 And I immediately objected to that and was told, oh, you know, maybe you can just like agree with it as it's read.
00:40:24.060 I say if that is read while I'm at a meeting, I'm not going to pretend to agree with it.
00:40:30.420 It's just not possible.
00:40:31.980 How many people do you think sign that and just like, I don't agree with it, but whatever, just sign it.
00:40:39.580 I know a few people did because they told me, but I think most of them were true believers.
00:40:47.440 And I think honestly, they thought they were doing the right thing.
00:40:51.280 It astounds me that people can think that was the right thing.
00:40:55.460 But here we are.
00:40:57.020 Okay, so you said, I'm not going to, I'm not going to sign that.
00:41:03.160 And then the company asked you to attend a meeting with the DEI consultant.
00:41:08.700 And this is, they're going to support you, right?
00:41:11.900 Yes.
00:41:12.300 Yeah.
00:41:12.780 Yes.
00:41:13.180 Did they?
00:41:15.100 No.
00:41:15.720 No.
00:41:16.260 What a surprise.
00:41:17.040 They basically were kind of testing my beliefs and challenging them.
00:41:26.640 What does that mean?
00:41:27.380 Like, do you believe the country is systemically racist?
00:41:32.220 Do you believe our criminal justice system is racist?
00:41:35.340 And I kept asking, what is the purpose of this meeting?
00:41:38.380 And the answer I got back was, to see if you are safe to be around your black and brown 1.00
00:41:43.480 colleagues and clients.
00:41:44.960 Oh my gosh.
00:41:46.440 Yes.
00:41:47.320 Yes.
00:41:48.140 And I kept saying, so are you telling me I need to think this way about matters of race
00:41:54.120 in order to represent my clients effectively?
00:41:56.340 And they would kind of back off a little bit from that, but then come right back to it.
00:42:02.120 So...
00:42:02.600 Had you ever had any racial warnings or any trouble at all with anybody in the history of
00:42:12.500 your work about race?
00:42:15.620 No, I have not.
00:42:17.660 All right.
00:42:18.300 So, okay.
00:42:19.700 You're being questioned now.
00:42:22.060 Yeah.
00:42:22.380 Go ahead.
00:42:23.700 Yes.
00:42:24.080 I don't know if that's going to continue.
00:42:26.000 One of the proposals I saw was that other colleagues wanted to treat microaggressions the same as
00:42:36.440 harassment, you know, and make that a policy. 0.54
00:42:40.000 So...
00:42:40.760 How do you work there?
00:42:41.940 Honestly, how do you work there?
00:42:44.440 I mean, I just, I don't understand.
00:42:47.700 We have gone from a country where, you know, when you're in business, you work, you work
00:42:53.640 towards a goal, you try to do good.
00:42:56.000 You know, you try to be decent.
00:42:57.900 If somebody's out of line, hopefully they get fired, you know, in extreme cases, take
00:43:02.740 them to court if they're not fired.
00:43:04.440 To now, somebody comes to me with a microaggression.
00:43:08.120 I think I throw the toaster at them.
00:43:10.620 I mean, I just, enough is enough.
00:43:14.220 Can we please just concentrate on things that are really important?
00:43:18.460 And let's, you know, I met with the people at GLAAD.
00:43:21.000 I told this story earlier this week.
00:43:22.720 I met with people at GLAAD a few years ago.
00:43:24.760 They would not join me in this.
00:43:26.720 And I said, look, my audience will hate me for joining with you.
00:43:29.660 But we have one thing in common.
00:43:31.800 We think throwing homosexuals off of the rooftops in Iran is really bad. 1.00
00:43:37.940 And we can do lots of examples all around where we're in Russia.
00:43:42.820 Homosexuals are killed, tortured and killed in some cities.
00:43:46.700 Let's just start there.
00:43:48.320 Can we start there?
00:43:49.360 No.
00:43:49.700 So what are we doing if we won't actually face and do things today that actually make
00:43:58.080 a difference?
00:43:58.520 We can talk about slavery 150 years ago, or we can all get together and realize that I
00:44:05.040 think it's 70 or 60 countries in the world still have no anti-slavery laws.
00:44:12.300 And there are more slaves today than in the entire slave trade combined.
00:44:20.380 Let's stop what's happening now.
00:44:23.140 It's a very distorted worldview.
00:44:26.300 Mine?
00:44:26.920 I don't know if you want that.
00:44:27.960 No, no, no.
00:44:28.680 Okay.
00:44:29.740 The anti-racism worldview.
00:44:32.440 Yeah.
00:44:32.880 This ideology that is being shoved down our throats, basically.
00:44:37.780 Because it's not, because I don't think it's actually about, you know, you wrote in your
00:44:41.820 Newsweek article, this is really about dividing us.
00:44:46.340 This is.
00:44:47.120 This is about control, power, politics, money.
00:44:50.400 I don't know.
00:44:51.100 But it's not actually about bringing people together and seeing beyond race.
00:44:57.420 Yes.
00:44:58.140 And there are some wonderful, wonderful programs about racism.
00:45:04.140 If a company wants to bring in some training about that, Sheena Mason's theory of gracelessness. 0.99
00:45:11.080 Don't know anything about it.
00:45:12.780 Oh, it's very good.
00:45:14.700 Eric Smith and Jason Littlefield also have one.
00:45:19.080 And it's about bringing people together, seeing the humanity in everyone.
00:45:23.040 Well, I mean, if it teaches anything like Martin Luther King, I'm 100 percent in, you
00:45:28.860 know, he was right.
00:45:30.560 He was right.
00:45:31.440 I know that's controversial to say now, but he had the right idea.
00:45:35.520 Nicole Levitt from Philadelphia.
00:45:37.860 She's an attorney.
00:45:39.980 She was working, helping, you know, underprivileged families, family law and abuse.
00:45:47.740 Uh, and she was asked to sign a white people's white people are racist contract.
00:45:53.660 She said, no, she has filed, uh, against her, uh, employer.
00:45:59.380 What did you file?
00:46:00.820 And how's that going?
00:46:03.160 So I filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
00:46:07.880 Um, and all I want is for the civil, the existing civil rights laws to be followed and for the
00:46:16.500 organization to say that they're going to follow them and basically knock this other
00:46:21.120 stuff off, not do it again.
00:46:22.860 Um, I don't want, you know, any monetary damages except for paying for my legal bills.
00:46:30.640 And, um, right now it's kind of stalled.
00:46:33.500 The next step would be to request a right to sue letter and sue in, in state court.
00:46:39.500 I hope it doesn't get to that.
00:46:41.320 I don't want to take money or time away from this organization, but I think that this, um,
00:46:47.680 is an issue that is so important.
00:46:50.280 Why?
00:46:51.380 Why?
00:46:53.540 Because this kind of division is not going to service.
00:46:58.680 As an organization and it's not going to service as a country and someone had to be willing
00:47:07.140 to stand up and say no.
00:47:10.180 And right now that's me.
00:47:12.120 And it's, it's not like the position I wanted to find myself in, believe me, but it's the
00:47:17.120 position I'm in and I'm committed to it.
00:47:20.400 That's usually how you know you're on the right side or you're standing with God.
00:47:24.840 And it's like, Oh no, I don't want to be that person.
00:47:28.320 I don't want to do that.
00:47:30.160 And that's when, you know, usually you're right is when you're like, okay.
00:47:35.620 And nobody, you know, Martin Luther King was not the first guy, uh, that people approached
00:47:40.540 to stand up.
00:47:41.600 I think he was the eighth or the 10th pastor that was approached.
00:47:45.020 He was just the first guy that went, Oh, okay.
00:47:48.680 And did it.
00:47:50.600 Um, and if you're hearing that I got to stand up, I got to say something.
00:47:55.520 Don't be the other, not the other eight pastors that, you know, were asked before Martin Luther
00:48:01.120 King, be Martin Luther King.
00:48:03.340 It's, uh, all you have to do is stand for things, you know, are true.
00:48:07.440 Do you regret it, Nicole?
00:48:09.500 I do not regret it.
00:48:11.280 I would do it again.
00:48:12.400 And have you paid a heavy price yet?
00:48:16.560 Um, it's, let's say it's been, um, a very anxiety filled time and I don't know what's
00:48:24.340 going to happen.
00:48:25.520 Um, I have, we have been professional in my organization.
00:48:30.220 We are still like able to work professionally together.
00:48:33.520 And for that, I'm very grateful.
00:48:35.740 Um, I would like this to end happily, but I don't know.
00:48:40.960 So yeah, I don't know the future, Nicole, um, please keep us up to date.
00:48:47.800 Uh, I'm, I'm in your corner.
00:48:49.700 I don't know you.
00:48:50.860 I know that we don't have the same political background, but anyone who is standing for
00:48:55.680 the bill of rights and just common decency, we are in your corner.
00:49:01.400 Let us know how to help.
00:49:02.900 God bless you.
00:49:03.940 Thank you, Nicole.
00:49:04.700 Thank you.
00:49:05.380 You bet.
