How's it going everybody? This is actually being shot a few days before I air it because I'm going to be on a plane.

This is being shot just after I appeared on the Ruben report and I will fully admit right now, this is absolutely unfair in my part.

I am not necessarily prepared to challenge Dave on all of the things people have brought throughout the throughout the challenge meet him.

But I do want to ask a few things about some of the Christmas people I've had.

And we'll start with the first and I think in my opinion always sounded the most ridiculous.

Yeah. That you're funded by the Koch brothers.

I wish I was funded by the Koch brothers. I don't know how many times I have to address this stupid thing.

So I'm glad to do this by the way and I said to you right before like let's just do whatever you want.

So learn Liberty was a non-profit that we worked with for two years.

They actually wanted to work with us this year but I just wanted to move in other directions.

They are a subsidiary I think of the Institute for Humane Studies that years ago the Koch brothers gave money to.

But it's a non-profit that gets money from thousands of different people.

We worked with them. They sponsored one episode a month for about two years.

They gave us some of the best shows that we've ever done.

I mean they gave us academics basically.

Deirdre McCloskey and Randy Barnett and Steve Davies.

They sponsored our episode with Phil DeFranco just because they liked him.

I have never met a Koch brother. I was never asked to do anything there.

I don't even know that they have anything to do with IHS or Learn Liberty anymore anyway.

But they're a non-profit. That would be like saying anyone that gives to a non-profit means that they sponsor wherever that money goes.

And by the way for the fake news channels out there that you know these YouTube pretend channels that put these things out there and pretend that they're fact.

It's like they weren't they weren't somehow discovering something.
