We've got a glass of avocados in 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 2: this country. We don't know what to do with him? 8 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Have you know? 9 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: Have you got are you? Are you a bit short 10 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: on them? 11 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: Oh not at the moment. No. I love avocados. They 12 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: can't keep them in our house. 13 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. 14 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 3: So don't you know what if you can have an 15 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 3: you have your avocado on your toes, you have your 16 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: avocado in your face, you can have. 17 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: It in your crocktail. 18 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 3: Now just do it, go for it now, jokeing. How 19 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: is this really going down? 20 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: Well? I think it caught everybody by surprise. And you 21 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: just heard it on the world wires or what Trump 22 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: had to say, and of course you would come out 23 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: and you know, prefaced it by saying, yeah, he was 24 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: a nice guy. I always thought he did, but he 25 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: thought he was weak on security. And then this kind 26 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: of put Tulsi Gabbert, the Director of National Intelligence and 27 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: mister Kent's boss, in kind of an awkward position. I mean, 28 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: she backed the president but had a carefully worded statement 29 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: that was posted on social media that did not mention 30 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: Kent or directly rebuff his comments. So, you know, we'll 31 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: see if more people are going to follow, because there 32 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: are a few Republicans that are slowly backing away from saying, hey, 33 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: you know what, this was a good idea to go 34 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: in and do what we did with Iran? Now is it? 35 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: I can't decide why the guy's really quit. If I'm 36 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: going to be a conspiracy theorist in this case, is 37 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 3: he really quitting because he believes what he is saying? 38 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: Or is it actually because he represents the megabase who 39 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: were just really upset that they are in any kind 40 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: of international ward all. 41 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think those are both good guesses right now, 42 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: and it's anybody's theory at this point in time. Or 43 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: he could just feel like maybe the Trump presidency, and 44 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: of course his supporters will deny this, might be taking 45 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of a hit and he wants to 46 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: separate himself from that right now. 47 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: And he ran for public office before he ran for 48 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: Congress in southwest Washington State, So is it possible, I mean, 49 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: because he is. 50 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Hey, he's a handsome. 51 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: Man with a good, good hit a hand, He's got 52 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: great paid degree. He might want to run far office again. 53 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: He could, I mean, he could go up for who 54 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: knows in a few years, maybe sooner. He could go 55 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: up against somebody like JD. Vance if he was interested 56 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: in the presidency. But I think he'd have to take 57 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: a few steps in a couple of other offices before 58 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: he would consider that. But who knows. I mean, we've 59 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: had as many as fifteen sixteen, seventeen candidates in the 60 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: past for the GEO. 61 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, Now listen, Operation Epstein Fury. 62 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: What is this? 63 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Well, are we talking about the poll here that people 64 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: are thinking that President Trump attacked Iran because of the 65 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: headlines about Epstein. And this new poll out found that 66 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: fifty two percent of people agreed with that, eighty one 67 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats thought the war was a deliberate distraction, 68 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: and you had maybe about half fifty to fifty two 69 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: percent of independent voters and only twenty six percent of Republicans. Now, 70 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: this poll, I tell you, Heather, it's one of several 71 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: that have come out in the last couple of weeks 72 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: from this particular one is from a very left leaning group, 73 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: so you have to take it with a grain of salt. 74 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: But there is another up poll from a net dot 75 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: gov that just finds more Americans are not happy without 76 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: the president's doing his job or or what's going on 77 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: in Iran. In the bottom line, there's this divide like 78 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: there always is, with the publicans saying this was the 79 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: right thing to do in this case in Democrats saying 80 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: we were wrong to go in. 81 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: What is the ufo yan? I love a ufo yan? 82 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: Oh so do I. This was a guy who is 83 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: eighty five years old and he claimed that in the 84 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: late nineteen sixties at a military base in Montana, that 85 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: their intercontinental ballistic missiles were disabled by an unknown force. 86 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: This happened over two days soldiers on the base. It's 87 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: in the sky. They could stop, they could hover, they 88 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: could take off at weird angles, and right after a 89 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: bright red glow, the hidden underground missiles went off lines. 90 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: So this veteran went on a podcast and he says 91 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: he's convinced that intel legant non human civilizations have visited 92 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: Earth and they attempted to prevent World War three from 93 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: causing a nuclear Holocaust. Now, why are not more people 94 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: not covering this story? 95 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: I can't answer that question for you, Dan don't know.
