WEBVTT - Executive Disorder: FEMA Teleportation, Pam Bondi Fired, Iran Ceasefire? 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:02.880 Colz Media. 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.360 This is it could happen here at Executive Disorder, our 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.880 weekly newscast covering what's happening in the White House, the 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.360 crumbling world, and what it means for you. I'm Garrison 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.200 Davis to Dame, joined by James Stout, Mia Wong and 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.600 Robert Evans. This episode, we are covering the week of 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.600 April first to April eighth. The DHS shutdown has surpassed 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.800 fifty days. Last week, House Republicans tentatively agreed to the 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.839 Senate deal to fund DHS without ICE and CBP, though 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.640 this agreement is stalled while Congress is out of session 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.920 till April fourteenth. Fox News has partnered with Calshi to 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:49.320 incorporate its political betting data into news coverage. Fox joints CNN, CNBC, 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.639 and The AP in entering into deals with the so 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:57.840 called prediction market Calshi. Calshe announced quote prediction markets at 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:02.040 accountability by rewarding accurate See that's why the three leading 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.520 networks have chosen Calshi. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.880 No spin, no partisan lens, just incentives to. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.240 Be right unquote. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:09.160 It's just gambling. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.639 It's so cool that the whole world, all media is now. 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.160 Just ESPN incentives to be right again, like people are. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.399 There's like one of the sub markets within CALSHI is 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.480 people like bringing in lawyers to make threats over like 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.600 tiny differences in grammar that invalidate them either losing money 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.920 or mean that they should have won the art like 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.640 like none of this is about what actually happened. It's 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.920 it's becoming as much about what you can game or 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.480 like threaten the news into not reporting, as we talked 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.760 about the week before last with that case in Israel 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.640 and insider trading and insider trading. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.240 Yeah, no, it's it's just turning politics into like a 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:46.080 corrupt casino. 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:47.919 Yep, yeah, it's just mob sports betting. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.240 It's worse than sports betting because sports betting is actually 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.080 based on like real odds, right, These odds are completely 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.840 created by users with their money. Like it's it's it's 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.080 completely manufactured. There's no actual basis for a lot of 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.920 these bets, right, Like like the betting on the papal conclave. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.480 There's no basis for an American pope getting elected, Right, 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.760 there's no actual odds that were like mathematically certain. It's 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.320 just created through through money. Well, to be fair, the 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:14.880 sports ods are also just kind of made up. 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.720 Yeah, guys too, but like yeah, you no real, it's 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.680 like just a tidy fit vibes based like it's people 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:23.639 looking at horses. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.960 It's a lot of what's happening in sports, Betty. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.600 Yah, Yes, making approving. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.480 Yeah, I think I saw that something close to a 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.880 billion dollars was bet on oil prices as we approached 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:37.600 Trump's deadline. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.680 We already had that just play. The oil futures market 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.400 too complicated for people, I guess, God, damn. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:48.160 It, No, it's really bad. According to a March poll 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.440 from the Institute for a Middle East Understanding Policy Project 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:57.760 sampling almost six hundred Texas Democratic primary voters, seventy six 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.919 percent say Israel's committing sun Gazen, eighty percent support ending 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:06.200 weapons funding to Israel. Forty four percent of Tallarika voters 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.480 said his criticism of Israel was important to them and 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.680 swayed their vote over one in five voters. Twenty two 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.280 percent said reducing support for Israel was one of their 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:20.000 top three factors impacting their vote, while only two percent 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.160 said the same about increasing or maintaining support for Israel, 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.959 and eighty eight percent of voters said they agreed with 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.239 the statement Tallerico made during a primary debate about cutting 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:35.840 off weapons to Israel. On Sunday night, thirteen gunshots were 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.920 fired into the front door of Indianapolis City County councilor 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.800 Ron Gibson, who just voted to approve a half a 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.000 billion dollar data center. A note was left under the 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.680 doormat that read no data centers, quote unquote. Gibson and 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.280 his son were home at the time of the shooting. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.200 Yeah, these data centers are really staggeringly unpopular. There's been 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.840 a bunch of reporting on even the ones that are 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.560 tempted to be built, something like fifty percent of them 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.640 are just not able to do it because of massive 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.600 public local backlash. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.280 Because it makes life worse around them. Akey power bells 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.160 go up, they're loud. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.720 Yeah, it's like it's like old school. It's like old 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.839 school environmental nimbiism, sort of like I don't want these 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.400 assholes in my small town stuff. There's just like the 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.760 anti sentiment in general. They're hideously unpopular and this kind 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.720 of stuff is just going to continue as these data 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.400 centers continue to be built. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.240 Okay, time for me. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:31.320 So. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.279 Donald Trump has said that he will discuss the United 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.480 States withdrawal from NATO for those who work in the 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.640 New York Times as a North Atlantic Treaty organization with 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.160 Mark Rutter, who is the NATO Secretary General, during their 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.880 meeting which will happen today which is Wednesday, April eighth. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:53.080 If question Mark this happens, it would be utterly apocal, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.360 like it would be one of the two things are 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.520 going to point out as like the dawning of the new. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.040 Era of yes, seismic shift, Yeah, like. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.279 What geopolitics is, this is like the fundamental basis of 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.719 this in this week or like ceasing to exist. 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:08.159 Yeah. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.680 Shirley Kittelsen has been released by Katipo's buller after they 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.040 made her read a video confession in which she confessed 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:21.599 and to be very clear, this is very clearly extracted fashion. Yes, yeah, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.800 the thing in this is it's true. But in the 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.919 video they made her confess to passing information to US 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.520 consulate in Baghdad. In one point in the video she 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.240 said she had been collecting information on leaders but forgotten 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.040 their names, which is very credible and. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.600 True most real toed fashion. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.400 Yeah, it's ludicrous. Her release came after Iraq released several 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.360 Katipa's BULLA members, so seems like a straight swap, which 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.560 is what this was about in the first place. Right, 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.880 it's not about her or her work per se. It's 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:57.000 about her being a trading chip that they can trade. Finally, 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.080 Republican Brandon gil has sharply critics so it's a dignityes 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.000 like Dignity dald Act. Recently, and this has become like 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.640 something of an online discourse topic on the right. I'm 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.480 not exactly sure why it's happening now. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:11.479 Rep. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.240 Salazar from Florida has tried to introduce this act several. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.960 Times in the last few years. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.159 We've actually covered it when it was introduced in twenty 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.680 twenty five on this show. It's a bipartisan act to 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.840 reform the immigration system. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:26.440 That is bad. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.279 It creates what's called a dignity status, which is essentially 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.040 like an underclass of people who there is no pathway sitizenship. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.359 There is no pathway to voting, but it comes with 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.080 the right to renew it and the right to residency right, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.119 so it creates like a sub citizen class. It's bad 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.680 that it's not a progressive immigration reform. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.640 But is Brandon Gill criticizing it from the right gil is. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.880 Coming from another perspective, then, I am. They think it 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.680 gives incentives for illegal immigration and it's an amnesty. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.320 Okay, Yeah, so he's criticizing from the right. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.640 It's interesting to see the split among Republicans on this, 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.200 and that's why I wanted to bring it in right 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.920 that we spoke last time about the Florida sheriffs breaking 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.840 with Trump on mass deportations. There are a number of 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.880 things which indicate that there is clearly a faction of 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.600 the Republican Party which has realized massive deportation of people 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.680 who have not been accused or convicted of any crime 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:26.120 is not a popular stance, especially when you keep killing people. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.000 On that note, actually, Ice have shot somebody else that 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.720 this broke relatively late on Tuesday night. They shot someone 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:40.520 in Patterson, California. The person has been identified as Carlos 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:45.640 Iva Mendoso Hernandez. He's wanted in El Salvador for questioning 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.640 a connection to a murder. It is another of those 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.280 incidents in which they accused a person of weaponizing their vehicle. 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.600 And there is a dash cam video which has been 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.480 released which shows a person attempting to leave in a vehicle. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.200 It's a little hard if the person who's attempting to 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.680 weaponize their vehicle, but it doesn't look that way to me, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.360 say that person is trying to make an exit. We 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.720 have seen a number of these right where federal immigration 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.760 agents have shot people behind the wheel of their car. Yeah, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.080 I should add that his attorney claims that he is 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.080 not wanted in connection with that murder and has provided 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.559 a document from the government of El Salbador which seems 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.120 to confirm that. So we have once again the DHS 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.920 said versus what we seem to be seeing proved out 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:29.560 by documents. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.880 Right before we get to Iran, which there's a lot 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.719 to discuss, there is another news story a little bit 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.040 closer to us that we think deserves some fair coverage. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.080 Statements made on a podcast last year by a top 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.480 FEMA official resurfaced this last week. Greg Phillips, who is 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.560 in charge of disaster response, claims that he wants teleported 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.439 to a waffle house in Rome, Georgia. Phillips also says 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.920 he experienced a separate incident in which he teleported in 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.360 front of a church, which the fact that this was 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.200 a waffle house does lend a story a bit of 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.800 credibility I have suspected for years there's some sort of 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:12.439 paranormal field around waffle houses. Personally, I believe that when 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.160 you walk into one, there was a small chance you 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.959 could walk out of another in a separate location. The 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.400 craft store Michaels has a similar has a similar energy 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:22.719 to it. 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.320 Look, anyone who's gone drunk to enough waffle houses knows 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:27.000 that that's true. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:27.440 Right. 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.240 So there is an aspect of the story which is 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:29.960 very believable. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.440 But there's some details that Phillips has included that makes 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.920 me a bit more skeptical of his characterization of this incident. 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.240 Let's listen to his claim on this podcast right now. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.960 We had a temble report at incident, two of them, 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:53.880 which transported me about forty miles from from where I 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.280 was and near Albany, Georgia, to the ditch of a 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.960 to the ditch of a of a chure chained up 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.680 at a waffle house like fifty miles away from where 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:05.120 I was. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.160 So to the so, to defend these statements, Phillips has 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.640 taken to truth social to share biblical accounts of teleportation 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:21.480 as supporting evidence of teleportation. Great employees at the three 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.320 waffle houses in Rome Georgia were interviewed by The New 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.920 York Times, and they say they do not recall anyone 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.800 being transported there by means of teleportation, nor did they 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:35.040 recognize pictures of Greg Phillips. But in a follow up 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.640 statement by Phillips on truth Social, he said he was 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.800 going through cancer treatment at the time of this alleged 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.360 teleportation incident. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.120 Quote. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.040 I was healed of cancer and it was a miracle. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.839 The podcast at the center of this controversy was part 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.520 of chronicling that journey, and during that journey things happened 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.199 that I can't explain. I was in the opening days 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:00.880 of intensive treatment, heavily medicated, not thinking about future headlines. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.959 That context was nowhere in the reporting. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.440 Unquote. I think it is important here that he says 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:12.800 he was heavily medicated during the time around Yeah. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:17.320 I love how he uses copvoys like a teleportation incident. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.400 Yeah. But however, I'm gonna point out that Garrison the 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.480 next thing you're about to read, he was not heavily 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:24.680 medicated when he said this. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:31.559 So Phillips added to this truth quote, the word teleportation 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.000 was not mine. It was used by someone else in 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.000 the conversation. Reaching for a language describe something with no 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.480 easy name, which is not true. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.920 He said teleport. He said telephone. 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.080 I think what he means is he didn't wasn't his 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.240 like initial term, then started using it. 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.040 Yes, he keeps using it, he continues. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:50.400 Quote. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.120 The more accurate biblical terms are translated or transported, not 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.760 new ideas for people of faith. If you believe that 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.080 God moves in ways we can not fully explain, as 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.080 I do, then having faith is not a SoundBite. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:05.480 It is the whole point. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.080 I believe in miracles, all caps, God bless America. He 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:14.560 has risen unquote. Now, one detail from the podcast that 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.920 has not been mentioned as much, I think offers to 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.960 help some idea of what's what's really going on here. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:27.000 It was an incredibly frightening moment to experience yourself in your. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.240 Car flying through the air. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.000 It was possible, it was real. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.040 He was telepointed in his car. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.720 He was in his car, which for me changes this 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.720 entire thing, because these headlines were kind of kind of 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:46.000 imagine as if his body like dematerialized somewhere, remateialized in 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:46.839 a waffle house. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.720 Something that's you know, you know, certainly he just blacked 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.920 out while driving, which is very different, which is. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.480 Very different story. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.480 Guy in a car when we were driving around Texas. 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.920 Yeah, I tell I hell impointed on xanax one yes, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.760 about thirty hours into the future. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.760 So the fact that he owned doubt while driving and 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.800 ended up at a waffle house much more, much more 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:15.640 explainable because many many people in slightly and slightly all 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.600 down right downright outside of waffle. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.080 Houses in their car. This is a very common occurve. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.480 This is probably about maybe ten to ten to thirty 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.040 percent of the waffle house clientele shows up in this 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.000 sort of environment where they are they are not operating 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.480 on their full faculties, either through some sort of drugs, alcohol, medication, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:38.120 what have you. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.439 I've seen UFOs at a waffle house before. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.199 No, right, the waffle houses are you know, are or 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.320 have some kind of pole that I think attracts people 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.959 like a magnet who are in US in an altered state, 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.880 towards them as like a beacon. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.239 Yeah, that that poll is smothered and covered hash browns. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:54.640 Yes. 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.600 So, and the fact that they're open at four am. Oh, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.600 and bathrooms you can do a harrow win in. Don't 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.200 forget that says it on the sign. 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.920 I also want to make sure that we mentioned that. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.640 In the same week in which The New York Times 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.440 the guy who was writing the headline didn't know what 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.880 NATO stood for. They also titled the initial title of 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.760 the article they wrote about this was and I quote 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:23.080 FEMA official says he teleported to waffle house. Experts are dubious. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:30.320 This might be the worst experts disagree headline ever. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.960 Rach, I think this is good. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.920 I actually, out of the two polls of New York 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.520 Times headlines this week, the data one is iffy. This 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.080 one fully I fully agree with. I fully agree with 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.200 their their choice to say that experts a due becaus 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:47.120 about the teleportation. 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.400 This does make me sad because The New York Times 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.080 is also the outlet that ran what is, in my opinion, 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.040 the best headline ever written. It was about the fact 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.240 that more good Okay. It was on the subject of 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.480 a scientist fixed study which looked at moray eels and 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.320 their ability to climb a ramp out of a pool 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.280 to eat some food, which proved in theory that moray 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.240 eels could hunt on land, and the headline was when 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.520 an eel climbs a ramp to eat a squid from 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:14.040 a clamp. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.600 That's a more ray title from a better time. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:22.880 Yeah yeah, what a different Yeah yeah, whoever wrote that. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.320 I hope you're doing well. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.480 We will now teleport to an ad break and re 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:37.600 materialize to discuss the back and forth ceasefire not ceasefire 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.320 with Iran. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.320 We're back, and depending on when you listen to this, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.240 we may either read back to war with Iran the 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.240 straight up four moves could be closed or open. We're 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:10.400 in like just this, this beautiful roadingers. No one knows 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:11.680 where it's gonna go after this. 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.920 Yeah, if you don't open your phone then and you 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.120 never know how many wars and cease fires have started 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.600 since the last time you opened your phone. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.960 That's right. They can't make you believe that a war 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.240 is going on if you choose to not be informed. Yeah, 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.480 other than by looking at gas prices. Yeah, yeah, that 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:28.120 is a thing. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:29.080 God. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.160 All right, let's let's try and do this in chronological order, 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.600 because this week has been bonkers. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.080 So let's start with last Friday, when you last listen 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:38.480 to ED. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.920 If you listen to Baby release him good Friday. And 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.120 that is kind of important because a United States Air 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.160 Force A fifteen eight strike Eagle belonging to the forty 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:53.480 eighth Fighter Wing, crashed in southwestern Irun last Friday after 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:56.760 being hit by a man pad. I bet the manpads 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.960 is a shoulder fired surface to air missile. The plane 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.880 carries a pilot and a WHIZZO WSOS an ancronym. It 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.440 means weapons systems officer or weapons systems operator. I'm just 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.479 going to call them a weapons officer just to make 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.359 it easier for everyone going forward, and both crew members 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.000 safely self ejected from the plane. The United States very 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.520 quickly launched a massive CISAR that's combat search and rescue 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.680 operation involving helicopters, low flying aircraft, and close air support 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.800 from both MQ nine Reaper drones and eight ten aircraft. 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.880 During this operation, in which the aircraft flew within small 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:38.480 arms range of the ground in Kuzuzstan Province, several aircraft 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.720 were damaged. One of the Jolly Green to Rescue helicopters 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.280 was hit with small arms fire. An eight ten Thunderbolt 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.280 crashed in the strait of Horn Moves and the pilot 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.920 was recovered. Another was hit and the pilot ejected over 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.879 Q eight, but this effort did result in the safe 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.960 recovery of the F fifteens pilot, but not the weapon. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.160 The following day. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:08.120 That happened during the day, right in daylight hours, which 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.280 is remarkable, like it is extremely rare to see this 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.120 happening right like low flying helicopters over what is notion 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.360 the enemy territory in the middle of the daytime. On 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.560 Easter Sunday, the United States launched a huge operation which 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.840 resulted in the recovery of the weapons officer. This was 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.800 preceded by a disinformation campaign which hoped to make the 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:35.119 Iranian state believe that they had extracted the weapons officer 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.280 by land, which they hadn't. The operation involved a ton 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.000 of Special Operations Forces assets who flew to an agricultural 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.959 airstrip outside Isfahan, YEP. This seems to have gone largely 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:50.080 unremarked upon in the reporting. There is some crackpot theory 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.840 that this was all cover for an operation that extracted 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.879 enriched uranium from Isfahan, because there is a nuclear research 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.639 acidity of Isfahan. I have not seen any evidence to 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.800 support that, but I think it is likely that they 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.960 knew of this agricultural airstrip because of plans which were 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.479 made for a potential raid on the Isfahan Nuclear Research 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:17.840 Facility during the Operation MQ nine and RepA drones bombed 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.960 quote military age males who were close to the m 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.840 and I Ran had offered a reward of sixty thousand 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.880 dollars for capturing this person before the United States got 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.280 to them. And it is common for people in this 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:35.280 area who like, if you're like herding animals, right to 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.960 carry a gun, like to protect their animals or to 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.040 protect themselves. There were some kind of propaganday videos of 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.800 like local people looking for the m and right they 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.280 were carrying like Iranian flags and their like antiquated bolt 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.960 action rifles. But it's also very possible that some of 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.119 these drone strikes may have occurred against people who were 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.639 just going about their business in the region, right, Like 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:01.399 if they didn't said military age males. 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:02.480 That it's a broad. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.920 Remit anyone who with out there being a shepherd would 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.440 be a military age. 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.560 Male, right, would be a military aged Yeah. 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.680 Yeah, this is like one of the most sickening terms 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:13.520 US warfare is invented. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.879 Yeah, military age mail is like anyone anytime people are 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.520 using that like a doesn't pass the SNIF test. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.840 No, it could be anyone from to like fourteen years 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.280 old to like sixty nine exactly. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.080 You'll be surprised who looks like an adult when you're 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:30.560 a scared man with a gun. 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.520 Yeah yeah, or looking from thousands of feet up on 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:34.840 a drone camera. 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.639 Right. Yeah. It's a term invented for we are just 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.600 going to start shooting at random people. We have no 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:42.760 idea who they are. We're just going to kill thee Yeah, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:44.119 and it's hideous. 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.919 I was recently rereading this. I think it's called a 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.679 Theory of the Drone. It's a philosophy book about drones 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.440 and drone warfare, and there's a scene in the opening 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:54.560 of that which I think is which you can probably 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.240 get the free preview of the book if you have 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.560 a kindle and read that scene. But it's very illustrative 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.240 of how vague this term can be. The rescue operation 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:07.560 saw the planes land at an airstrip. Then a little 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:12.600 bird helicopter took off collected the airmen who had been evading, 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.359 capturing a mountainous area. He was then carried back by 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.480 the helicopter to the airstrip where the two larger aircraft 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.520 that had bought the helicopter and all the personnel had 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:21.399 become stuck. 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:22.440 Incredible. 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.000 Yeah, I mean I guess normally they would do some 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.200 kind of soil sampling, but I think there probably. 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:28.960
