Full Transcript
Good morning to you friends and welcome on into your Thursday, April 2nd, President Trump giving that prime time address last night related to the war on Iran. So bottom line is he wants to or is threatening to blow Iran back to the Stone Age. That's number one. And number two, as you heard Joan mention in the news, no indication or comments of ground troops and no real discussion of taking control of Iran's enriched uranium. So there's a lot to talk about there. Houston, we have a problem with the Artemis mission. Apparently of all the things to break, Joan, the toilet, the potty, the potty on the, what is it, the Orion is Artemis. No, it's the Artemis. But I thought wasn't the ship though is called the Orion, isn't it? Oh yeah, it is. So anyway, we have all the things to break. You know, okay, if it's going to be a problem, it might as well be a potty problem. That's not going to put the mission into the crapper, if you will. You know, the best part about all this, and we'll get into this at 535. Best part of all of this is the memes, of course, with Marco Rubio holding a plunger. So you know what I mean? The whole Marco Rubio has a million jobs. Alright, so we're going to get into all of that at 535. Bottom line, the thing with the space mission, this is like Riker and Amy, they were riveted by this thing. And you know, I get it, especially Riker, he loves science and he loves space and all that kind of stuff. So you know, what interests me about this, then I'm going to get into Trump's speech. What really interests me about the Artemis mission is that, you know, this is a space race with China. And so that's also part of the discussion. And Elon Musk, who was against this thing like a year ago, he is now all in on this thing because Elon Musk wants to put a bunch of AI stuff on the moon. So we're going to talk about all of that and a whole lot more straight ahead, including, by the way, the potty problems. I'm assuming that this is a high-falutin kind of toilet on the spaceship. So we'll have to, we'll get into all of that. Yeah, I have a little bit of information about what's going on there. Okay, very good. Yeah. I mean, how do you like to be the plumber for the mission? Well, see, the funny thing is, they have a problem and then they call back and say, you know, Houston, we have a problem. And then Houston comes up with a fix to tell the astronauts what to do to fix their own problem. It's like they don't really have a plumber on board. Oh, Ryan, you're going to have to fix your own toilet though. Yeah. But it's, but the good news is that it's only, it's only a pee-pee problem. It's not a poopy problem. Thank you, Joan. You're welcome. I have all the details. That is, Ryan, consider yourselves lucky. This is just a pee-pee problem. Listen, as long as it's not one of those damn O-rings. It's too soon. Yeah. No, no, it's been like 40 years. You know what? Can I just say this? When I was watching the, the takeoff. Were you having flashbacks? I was, because that was, that was sort of like, Joan, not to get into an age thing, but I was a senior in high school in January of 1986. I think that you were already graduated from high school. I was in college. We were watching what was, you know, we were watching the lift off while we were in class. Yeah. Same here. And so- That was negative 10. I can still remember, you know, the, the Challenger exploding against that blue sky. And so when I'm watching the, you know, the, the spaceship go up yesterday. I'm glad you said that because for, you know, I sit and I watch these things and I think, oh, please don't explode. Please don't explode. Yeah. And I think we all kind of had that PTSD thing. Right. And I always do. And I realize one is the Space Challenger and the other one is the Artemis. And I get all that. There's differences, obviously. But I mean, for me, I just remember, you know, the ship going up and exploding when I was a senior in high school. And it's one of those, you know, moments that you remember, like when I was in, I think it was junior high when Reagan was shot for me. What year is that? 81? Was that 1981 when Reagan was shot? Do we even know? Yeah, maybe. It's so long ago. You'd think it'd be imprinted on my brain. I know. But I remember I was in Woodshop when Reagan was shot. You know, it's the same thing. So anyway, whatever. So luckily though, 81, you were right. Thank you. Luckily though, I mean, obviously, if the only thing that has gone wrong is the PP potty problems as Joan put it, then so far so good on a 10 day mission. All right, whatever you do, don't crack a window. You know, I do wonder what happens if like, there's got to be more than one toilet, right? Is there more than one toilet on that thing? I think there's only one. Yeah. It's a crew of four. It's a novel. Wait, no, well, they've got a female, but they don't need a separate toilet. But this is the first time they've ever had a potty. This is the first time they've ever had a potty? They've never had a potty before. Oh, that's right. They had those. Bags. Yeah. Yeah. Hooked up in your suit. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, that's okay. For whatever reason now, this... You imagine a fight breaking out on the space deck. Just like, Johnson, you better not. I'll throw my pee at you. Do you know what? Like, how would you like to be one of the astronauts having to do like the PP dance? You know, you really have to go. And now you're floating. You've been out of there. You've been in there for too long. Come on, man. Would it hurt you to use some air spray? Come on. Whatever. Okay. Moving right along. Donald Trump last night talking about Iran. Here's part of what he said. That we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. The short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons and the country is. Hey there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward, upside gains. Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Been eviscerated and essentially is really no longer a threat. They were the bully of the Middle East, but they're the bully no longer. So that is Donald Trump. Now yesterday, and Joan, we called this, we called this Trump yesterday saying that Iran had asked for a ceasefire. Remember that? And I said, okay, so how long before Iran comes out and says, oh no, we never asked for a ceasefire? That is exactly what happened yesterday after we got off the air. So the president still mentioned that last night during the speech, but part of the discussion has to be Iran's response to the speech, which is cynical, obviously. But they did come back and they said, no, we didn't ask for a ceasefire. And one of the other things that happened yesterday, their revolutionary guard said that not only was there no ask for a ceasefire, but that the Strait of Hormuz was under their control. Here's more from President Trump. This was again last night during his speech. As we speak this evening, it's been just one month since the United States military began operation, Epic Fury, targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield. Things like few people have ever seen before. Tonight Iran's Navy is gone. Their air forces in ruins. Their leaders, most of them, terrorist regime, they led, are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak. So yes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard does maintain a strong force. One of the things that I've found fascinating about this whole thing is there are so many differing reports on the state of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Like the administration will come out and they'll say, oh yeah, they're being decimated. People are bolting, they're quitting the guard. And then you've got other people that will say, oh no, they're doing just fine. Thank you very much. We also have people in Iran actually that are saying the same thing on both sides. If you're anti-Trump, then you're saying that the Revolutionary Guard is doing just fine. If you're pro-Trump, well then the Revolutionary Guard is having a whole lot of issues. I don't know. But here's the deal. I wish they'd all just stay in one place long enough for us to bomb the living crap out of all of them and kill them. They are controlling the Strait of Hormuz and they're said to be running the government right now, which is pretty much what they've been doing since this whole thing started. They are launching drones and attacking nations within their reach, so this does have to be the focus more from Donald Trump's primetime speech last night. So yeah, the president last night talking about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and he is saying that they're decimated, others saying not so much, whatever. Everybody will have to find out from the administration really what is next in this process. I know that the president last night saying that they're going to continue to bomb Iran into oblivion back into the Stone Age. That's a good thing. He said that we will perhaps be wrapping this up in two to three weeks. The good news though is that we are making progress. Here is more from Donald Trump. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed and their weapons, factories and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces. Very few of them left. Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large scale losses in a matter of weeks. Our enemies are losing in America as it has been for five years under my presidency is winning and now winning bigger than ever before. Before discussing this current situation, I also want to thank our troops for the massable job they did in taking the country of Venezuela in a matter of minutes that it was quickly felt violent and respected by everyone all over the world. Yep and absolutely as far as our troops go. And you know, I will say, and appreciating the troops praying for our troops every day, but I do believe that the president, I think that he did a good job of explaining again why we're there. I know that there's a lot of people that will say, oh, he didn't give a clear direction. He didn't say why we're there. I don't know how many different ways that the administration can say it, whether it is Pete Hexeth, whether it is Marco Rubio, whether it's President Trump himself. But here's the deal. Don't need to sit here and bang the same drum morning after morning. Iran has spent billions of dollars funding the terrorists. We also know that Joe Biden unfroze $6 billion that had been sanctioned of Iranian oil money. Remember Obama gave them $400 million in pallets of cash. So I mean, we all know the story. We know the story of how the Democrats have done everything they can do to make Iran stronger. And we also know that Donald Trump, and by the way, the Republicans haven't necessarily helped either. The president now, Donald Trump, he has always been very consistent in his belief that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. So as far as I'm concerned, and I don't know, Joe, and how you feel, but I think the president did a fine job in his speech last night. There are a lot of questions still regarding the uranium, the enriched uranium, and the president. In the past, he said that we have to have that uranium. We have to have control of that uranium, or maybe a third party. But he didn't really make mention of that last night. Basically one of the things that he said is that it is buried really deep, and he referred to it as like nuclear dust. So it sounds like the president is no longer saying that we have to actually have control of the uranium. And again, he didn't say anything about ground troops, but I wouldn't expect that the president would give away state secrets if he's giving an address to the world. Agreed. That whole uranium thing, I mean, we're there for that. We're there to stop that. Yep. I think that's very pivotal into when we get out of there. Like get a hold of that stuff and get out. His story keeps changing, though. I know. That's the thing, and we've talked about this ad nauseam, but the president's story, it does keep changing. Yesterday he said that Iran had asked for a ceasefire. Right. He said that asked for a ceasefire, Ron comes back and says, oh, no, he didn't. And exactly, Joan, as we predicted would happen. So there's a lot of unknowns. And I know that there are things that the president has to say that he can't say. And so we'll just continue to watch. I do believe him when he says that we've got a week or two left. I'm going to take the president at his word. Yes. I think he has been watching the polling on gas prices. He's been watching his own polling as well, which is not good. He has also been watching the polling of the war. And there's a lot of, and I know that we don't necessarily pay attention to the polling. The president, though, does. And so I think that he's also watching that. But I don't think that he is, I don't think that President Trump is basing his decisions on the polling. I just believe that he is watching the polling and realizing, perhaps, that he needs to do a better job of selling the reason why we're doing what we're doing. But here's the thing. The left is going to stick to their damn talking points, regardless of what Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance or Donald Trump or Pete Hegzeff say. The left is always going to say the same thing over and over again. He's not selling the war. Why are we there, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, as opposed to, you know, giving him credit for the incredible military feat that we've already seen in Iran. There's still a lot more that we need to accomplish. I'm being well-danned, Joan. Already? Yeah, I know. It's so early. But, yeah, I'm being well-danned. So a couple of folks on the Supertext Line saying that on the Orion, on the Artemis II mission, that it has two toilets. That I groked it and I chat GPT'd it and I only see one toilet on the artificial intelligence. I think there's only one. Because they do say that we have limited space on the Orion. So, you know, and yeah, it does, you know, it does look very small. This was the takeoff, by the way, yesterday. Very, very big news. And here we go. 10, 9, 8, 7, RS 25 inches. 8, 4, 3, 2, 1, booster ignition. And lift off. See, at that point, Joan, I didn't really need the single toilet. Good roll pitch. As they're going up. Roll pitch. Roll pitch? And off it goes. So yeah, 10 days they're going to be out there with only one toilet. They're brave. I also saw, I'm going to say this without having it in front of me, but they have an incredible assortment of food on board and it's all very healthy stuff, which got RFK Jr., like a big thumbs up from him for what they've got on their menu. Yeah, very, like very crunchy kinds of fare. Well, listen, with only one toilet, probably not a lot of roughage. Right, exactly. You guys get the joke? It's not really a joke. It's kind of... It's a crappy joke. Whatever, moving right along. Fibers, it was a fibrous joke. So yeah, it's a fibrous joke. That's exactly right. Anyway, so you were saying, Joan, so what do they have? Is it pretty good food? Oh yeah. It was like seeds and nuts for snacks. So very good things for you. And RFK Jr. sort of retweeted what he saw of their menu and he said, you know, this is good and I'm very grateful that they're eating healthy. All right. Yeah. Let's see here. Now, do we know why they're going up? I mean, I think I do. I did some research on it. Yeah. So they're saying that at this point, they're sort of just testing the systems, make sure they know what they're doing because the next part of this is landing on the moon. We're going to eventually create a place where humans can live on the moon and then that will become the hub for taking off and going to Mars. So it's going to last 10 days. You're right, Joan. They're going to loop around the moon and then come back. Eventually, they want to go 4700 miles beyond the moon's far side. It's the farthest any human has ever attempted to go. So this is going to be the farthest out we've ever gone. They want to test our deep space hardware. They want to collect data on radiation exposure because they want to know how people will react to, you know, I guess what's up there. They want to test astronauts' health and performance while out in space. Again, the ship is called Orion and part of this whole mission is to test them inside of the ship in real time. Maybe inside that single toilet. Right. So the Space.com is where I'm getting this information. They said that within hours of launching, the crew reported a glitch in what may have been the most anticipated new creature comfort on the spacecraft, their space toilet. Now, they said the toilet fan is jammed. So now the ground teams are coming up with instructions on how to get into the fan and to clear that area to revive the toilet for the mission. Well now, if it's only the fan, can it actually? Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward, upside gains. Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Does it flush? You know, I'm not really sure. I can't imagine flushing. I mean, everything sort of depends. We think of here on Earth depends on gravity. You know what I'm just thinking about this? It's probably just like a big porta potty. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like it's not going to flush. Well, I guess porta potty is flush. I don't know what I'm talking about. So the norm night is NASA's director of flight operations and he told reporters at the Kennedy Space Center, the malfunction was due to a controller issue on the toilet. They can still, NASA confirmed the astronauts could still use the space commode. They like nice words like commode to poop, just not to urinate. Although engineers were working to restore it to full service. Wait, what? Yeah. So because, all right, it's all going on. In the meantime, they're getting their contingency, their backup waste management capabilities specifically for urine. The fecal collection of the toilet, the specific capability can still be used with the waste management system. Okay, I'm just, I don't really want to dwell on this. Yes. But how can you do... But not every pee pee. It's poo poo time. How can you, how can it be okay to handle number two, but not number one? I could see handling number one, but not number two. Does that make sense? I don't think this is a water based toilet. Right. So solids would move through it easier or near solids. Do you know who was on, do you know who was on Fox News last night? Who's that? Talking about this? Matt, Julie is on Butch Wilmore. Oh, was he? Yeah, he was on with Will Cain and he spoke about the nerves, the preparation and possible setbacks just like this. Honestly, Will, you're trained for all of this. You understand things can go awry, little small problems that, you know, small significance as far as the detail. Maybe you're not getting a signal from the system that you need to verify that it's operating correctly. And you understand these are the type of things. And if they were to scrub, the guys will have their go forward hat on and press forward and crawl out and just prepare for the next opportunity. I don't know about you, but you know, watching this, you could just kind of like feel the anticipation and the stress and the worry about what's going to happen. I spoke earlier about the PTSD from, you know, watching the challenger blow up when I was a kid, a senior in high school. And whenever I see one of these rocket launches, my mind just goes back to that, which is why it's such a relief to see that, you know, the only thing that's gone wrong is the toilet fan, apparently. Wilmore was actually asked about those nerves. You really are ready to go. You've done all the preparation. You prepared yourself physically, mentally, emotionally. Everybody's done all their work. You're in the capsule. You're laying there on your back. And when that clock hits zero, there's a huge amount of relief. But that's very short lived because now you've got responsibility and you got to focus on your tasks. So we talked about the mission of this mission, the missions of the mission, right? What do they want to accomplish? They want to test our deep space hardware, collect data on radiation exposure, test astronauts, health and performance while out in space. And there's a lot that I mean, I'm just obviously skimming the surface. But you know, Wilmore was asked more generally speaking, what it is exactly that they hope to accomplish. It's a stepping stone. We're planned to go to the surface and maintain a human presence on the surface. And you can't just go one big full step and just go and do that. You need to learn the spacecraft that takes you there and brings you home, everything about that. And that's the primary mission of a priority task of this mission to learn everything about the Orion spacecraft and the asset portion, the terminal, TLI burn terminal, lunar initiation burning and going and doing all of those tasks to make sure everything is working properly according to design, verifying those systems, certifying the spacecraft and going forward. All right. So by the way, if everything goes according to plan, we could land on the moon again because we're not landing on the moon on this trip. As Jones said, that's for the next mission. That's going to be early 2028. They talk about the possibility of sustained presence on the moon. It was 1972 when we did this the first time around. Go to the moon. I was five. Murphy show is bragging yesterday that he wasn't even born. Oh, stop it. Exactly. Gosh. The rest of us feel OLD old. By the way, leading into the mission, the guy in charge of NASA, his name is Jared Isaacman. Yes. He talks about whether or not they may find life on Mars. He was with Benny Johnson. Listen to this. Do you believe that there's life out there? Oh, look, I mean, I think I actually, I have like a slightly different take on this one, right? I think most people, if you ask them at the night sky, they look up and see all the stars and they're like, okay, well, that's one galaxy. There's two trillion galaxies and how many stars are there and how many of them have exoplanets in a in a Goldilocks zone. Yeah, sure. Surely there must be life out there somewhere. I would say there is a chance there could be life out there everywhere. If we go now, it doesn't mean it looks like us. It doesn't mean it has the tentacles like you have in the movies. But I would say if we can get to Mars and we can bring samples back, I'd put it at a 90% chance that we could prove there is some, there was some microbial life on Mars. Now we have a mission called Europa Clipper going to the moon of Europa, where we think there could also be biosignatures. We are launching a nuclear powered octocopter in 2028 to go explore Saturn's moon of Titan. Now what if you find biosignatures there? Changes the whole equation from looking up and saying, well, the odds would say surely it's out there somewhere to what if in our own solar system, it could be everywhere. That would be, I think the most, I mean, it would be the most consequential discovery in human history, right? And that's what we do here at NASA. We go out and try and unlock the secrets of the universe. So he's not talking about like a one-eyed Cyclops with little art, whatever. No, he's talking about microbial life. Which I mean, if anybody's seen Age of Disclosure and some of these other, if you've seen some of these other documentaries, there are a lot of people, really high up people. And I got video now, if we could, Sam. There's a lot of high, high up people who will tell you, oh, no, no, no. We do have the one-eyed Cyclops out there. And their technology is actually better than ours. This is Tim Lurchett. He's on with Rob Finnerty and they start talking about life out there. I don't know if it's in Foil Hat on just yet, Congressman, but I'm wondering, you know, kind of how you react to that because you are connected. You're on the UFO subcommittee. I mean, I'm just wondering what you make of that. Have you heard anything like that? Well, I'm still a member of Congress, so I can't really comment too much on what Matt said, but I will say this. Wait, seriously? Are you being serious or is that tough? Yeah, he's being serious. He would not talk about it, Joan. But then he talked about it. 100% serious. I've been 100% serious. I've been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is. And I just tell you this, if they would release the things that I've seen, you would be up at night thinking about this stuff. We just need to disclose it all. I'm sick of it. You're... Well, I was brief. I was just telling you this. I was briefed last week on an issue, excuse me, two weeks ago, and it would have set the earth on... This country would have come uncluded, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard. They would demand answers. And we need to. But it's never going to get... Unfortunately, it just keeps getting covered up and covered up and the people that know are dying or disappearing, as the case may be. And for the record, I'm not suicidal and I don't take risks. This is so classic term, Tim Burchett. By the way, do you know what he's... And I got a little bit more on him, but do you know what he's talking about? So Matt Gaetz says that he was briefed on a secret alien breeding program. So apparently Gaetz, a former representative, and this is from the Independent, said that he was told that alien human hybrids are being created to enable government officials to communicate with beings from other worlds. I swear, I knew that was what Nancy Pelosi was. Speaking on the Benny Show with prominent right-wing influencer Benny Johnson yesterday, the ex-lawmaker revealed that he received the information at his office in Florida in a non-classified setting. And so that's what Tim Burchett is responding to. So I mean, you believe that? Sam, do you believe that? That we're... I guess would you call that crossbreeding aliens and humans so that we could actually communicate with aliens? What do you think, Joan? I'm sorry, I just dropped a little audio on you there. I'm sorry. It's all right. What do I think about... Do you think that we are actually crossbreeding aliens and humans? I think that that's a ridiculous notion. It's ridiculous. It's insane. We're talking about human beings that were... If you go back to the creation story in the Bible, I mean, we were put together by God in his amazing... When you just think about the body, just think about the birth of a baby and how a baby is formed within a body and how the earth is so amazing too. I don't think that we should be messing around with or even thinking about how we could procreate with another being. Well, I don't think anybody is hooking up with an alien, but what it sounds like they're doing is they're trying to create a alien hybrid person, alien person hybrid. And I mean, I agree with you, Joan, but our government doesn't care about the Bible and God and everything else. They just want to be able to communicate with other beings. Sam, yes or no? You think that we're actually doing this? I wouldn't be surprised by it. I mean, for crying out loud, Fauci butchered beagles. So does it really... Not anymore. That program is over. Not anymore, but he did. Yeah, I know. The point being that is there really a low that they wouldn't stoop to for the purposes of... There are scientists out there that believe the wildest things because of the science, man. The morality is a little bit screwy for them based on what you would consider traditional values. Do you think that Tim Burchett, because he wouldn't comment on it because he's still a member of Congress, I think that actually kind of tells you that that's actually going on. Tim Burchett loves the attention. Come on. I love Tim Burchett, dead gummit. He also... He loves to have that attention on him. And to keep his constituents kind of somewhat distrusting of the government. It's to keep... The thing we love about Congressman Burchett is that he is trying so hard and gets met with the roadblocks of trying to drain the swamp that is DC. All right. Let's hear the rest of his comment on Newsmax. I just said that. I'm speechless, Congressman. We will have you back. You should be. You should be. And I told the president, release it all. And the problem is, the people that are around the president don't know the... I mean, the president doesn't know the questions to ask. A few of us are going to have to get with the president and tell him what he needs to ask and where he needs to look. I mean, you know, we're in meetings and they have addresses and tell locations of items, I would just say. And the public has a right to know that gummit. It's your tax dollars. Absolutely. Let's get it out to you. You got my attention, Congressman. So some people, 5711, guys, it was April Fool's Day yesterday. You're supposed to say it when you're done with your joke. Do you think... Do you think that... Well, wait a minute. Does he... I appreciate you being as forthcoming as you have been tonight. And we look forward to having you back. Look, I know Donald Trump wants to disclose something. He hasn't done it yet, but I think he wants to be the president to do that. Tim Burchett, thank you. All right. I mean, he didn't say, and I don't know, Matt Gaetz, I don't know if he said April Fool's Day or not, but I mean, I don't hear any kind of an April Fool's joke in there, like just kidding. People are saying Nephilim? Nephilim. What is that? It's a... Joe. Okay. I am... They're the mysterious, powerful figures that are mentioned in Genesis 6 and also in often interpreted as violent giants or the fallen ones, resulting from the union of sons of God and human women. The first demons, essentially. Yes. And they're supposed to be... Remember the cherubim or the good ones. Huge giants, giant human or giant beings. Giant beings that are a mix of humans and aliens. I don't know if we call them aliens. They're fallen angels, essentially. Got it. Okay. Well, really interesting and intriguing. Well, yeah, I guess maybe, yes, you could link the two in some weird way, perhaps. Joan, you're going to be okay? I sense a little bit of disturbance in the force of Joan Jones. Now all I want to do is go read. See, I can tell because you just went on like a five minute monologue on what the Bible says and now the Bible, there's this story arc in the Bible. According to the book of Enoch and early interpretations, the Nephilim's destruction was a primary purpose of the great flood sent by God. Okay. No. All right. Maybe some, but not all. They served as symbols of pre-flood corruption and wickedness. Oh, no, not wickedness. Yes. There's a lot of wickedness in the world today. This isn't your average podcast.
