After months, years of trying to convince Will Summer that we need to do a live show on Mondays and call it MAGA Mondays, we're doing it. This is our first live show. It's me, Sam Stein, Will Summer, author of the False Flag Newsletter. Here on Monday at 10 a.m., we're going to try to make this an every week thing if it doesn't kill us. And we're just going to talk about the weird shit that happened on the Internet over the weekend. And it's going to be inane, but I think it'll be informative, too. And for instance, today, we're going to be talking about what? We got Kash Patel chugging beers with the Olympics hockey team. Glug, glug, glug, glug. And then chugging and then just like, I can't have any more beer and just tossing it. It's like, I've had too much. I'm going to get into the chugging method and all that. I want to go deep on that. And then we have Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee, the ambassador to Israel, starting an incredible diplomatic incident with an inane interview that resulted in real problems, I think, from a geopolitical perspective. We'll get into that. And then, of course, we've got to go with Will's favorite subplot, the James Fishback gubernatorial candidate in Florida, which gets messier. We've got candidates saying, you're not a real griper. you're not it's like normally you'd say thanks but not in this case all right well any initial thoughts before we dive into it no i mean i'm happy to thank you for everyone joining us um you know i think this is gonna be an exciting new franchise for us here um and look i mean as i expressed when we were kind of figuring out what day to do this monday i think is great because on the weekend you know things kind of tend to get a little crazy for our the maga people i report on There's always a lot of drama. For whatever reason, I think going into Friday, they get a little restless, and often things spill out. So I'm excited to be here. We got to make you saying restless into a meme of some sort. All right, let's start with Cash. Let's play the video. This was skyrocketing around the internet yesterday. So basically, if you've been living in Iraq, U.S. Olympics hockey team, men's beat the Canadians in overtime. Golden goal. I don't really understand why they go three on three right in overtime as opposed to four on four. It was really quick in the overtime period. And then this happened. And the setup here is that Kesh Patel, our director of the FBI, has a lot on his plate. The bureau is in shambles, apparently, according to reporting. And then in the days leading up to this, there was a bunch of reporting, including from a number of outlets like MS Now, that said, hey, he's going to Milan and he's going to go check out this hockey event. And this is a potential misuse of government resources. The FBI director has to fly on a government plane for security reasons, but it's a heavy cost to taxpayer. And Kash Patel has been highly critical of past FBI directors for doing this because it's unnecessary. Now, go ahead. Sorry. Well, I was just going to say, I mean, this is kind of the really puts the capper on Kash's love of using the private jet. I mean, people may remember in the past he went to see his girlfriend sing at a wrestling match. And as you said, you know, he has to take the jet. Yes. he reimburses the government for personal trips or whatever percentage of the trip was personal at the cost of a commercial airline fare. So let's say he paid for this whole flight like he would have flown to Milan. So what, $1,200, at most $1,500. MS now says the real cost to the government is like $75,000. I kind of suspect it's higher than that. But I mean, it's a huge amount of money. Huge amount of money. And the other thing is, though, is that in the lead up to it, the public affairs office at the FBI was insisting on, well, no, no, no, no, no. This is an official trip. He's got these four stops in Italy. He's meeting with all these people there. They're going over security functions at the Olympics. They're taking notes for potentially security functions that the FBI will be in charge with for the FIFA games. It may be incidental that he goes to a hockey game, but that's not the purpose of this trip. And if you look at it, it clearly was the other way around. It was like he built these official functions around his desire to go to Milan to watch the hockey game because he's a huge hockey fan. And so, yeah, they took it on the chin for that. Yeah. Among other things, Cash Patel plays on a hockey team called the D.C. Dons, sort of a intramural hockey team. So, yeah, he loves hockey. And this is this is clearly what they're up to now that he's taking heed for using the jet for personal business. They'll kind of look. I mean, people will meet with the FBI director. I'm sure they can kind of come up with these kind of pretextual appointments. You know, one of them was, well, you know, the FBI is involved in Olympic security, so he's got to go. And it's like he's going at the end of the Olympics, you know, I mean, wouldn't it make more sense? Maybe like three weeks before the Olympics. I mean, this idea that it's just he just had to go to Italy during this one week period. I mean, it's just so ridiculous. and then it becomes even more ridiculous because at first it was like well is he going to be secretive about it and then the first inclination that he was there was that he was kind of captured in this it was either an Instagram live shot and he's in the locker room and he's just sort of smiling and he's looking happy and you're like okay he made it down to the locker room he clearly was there that's you know the cover's blown he definitely went to Milan to watch this hockey game and then Then there's a video that emerges that's truly incredible. Let's watch the video and we can talk about it on the flip side. You would think he's the MVP of the game. of course they're playing toby keith this is not what he did rivalries keep going cash so look a couple things here one is i checked because i was like he looks really small they must be wearing their skates they're not he's just small they're you look i like did like little Zapruder actions like oh yeah those are shoes on them they're not in their skates he's just a small guy um the beer chugging uh is what's incredible to me so here you have cash he's in the locker room after the victory they're all going crazy and he's the FBI director and it's to me it's like I don't know if I were in that position I would probably just be like congratulations man like really proud of you did great for the country it's like hand me a beer I'm going to chug it well this is what like comey and muller would do i mean they would go into the locker room you know they would they would douse themselves in gatorade where's my michelope um yeah i mean in that video we're seeing cash is surrounded by the hockey players and they're all just jumping up and down and cash is just chugging i really you know this is they say online like like bro thinks he's on the team i mean it is crazy like i like maybe he's friends with the hockey players he obviously is he said he is i mean he's one of america's most prominent hockey fans obviously like And look, I mean, if the FBI director was like, you know, obviously he has a private genital's disposal, among other things. I mean, if the FBI director was like, I'm obsessed with the thing you do, I'd be like, all right, that's cool. And so, you know, maybe it is genuine. They all love cash. But it is – you can't have the FBI director chugging beers and, you know, jumping around like this. It's insane. Banging the table. I was trying to figure out what was the beer he had. I know we said it was Michelob, but I couldn't tell. Was it – are you sure it's Michelob? I think the discussion has been that maybe it was a Corona or I guess that's maybe later. I think that's when Trump calls them. It's a Corona, but yeah, he showed another video. We're not going to play the other video. It's like a three minute video afterwards. He's still in the locker room and Trump calls and he's on cash's phone. You could see that the phone has DT the initials, Don Trump on it. And he's, you know, they're just like talking about Trump is in heaven. He's like, you know, talking to the boys about how great it was and makes a bunch of jokes about how great the goalie was and then he makes a joke about oh i get if i'm gonna i'm gonna have you at the state of the union address on tuesday he giving state the interest it like i guess i have to invite the women team and then uh and all the guys laugh and then in the middle of it cash is holding the phone with on hand and just pops another beer with another hand and he's just drinking more beer and like i guess i don't know i'm sure this is going over on tell me well how's it going over in in like the mega world i know uh there's some people who want to spin it as i he's just being a dude and this is awesome but like is everyone feeling that way? You know, I am seeing a lot of the there was not a huge reaction to it. I think this is sort of the kind of thing that you want to kind of tamp down and sort of ignore that you go, oh, maybe we're going to go to war with Iran or talk about something else. But I'll tell you what, Cash does have his haters. Yeah. The haters have been going wild and, you know, the chief Cash's chief hater, a former FBI agent named Kyle Serafin, who I've written about as sort of like the bogeyman who haunts Cash's nightmares. He actually was, like, I think one of the first guys to really highlight. He was like, hey, there's that first video where they pan. It's like, okay, hockey player, hockey player. And then Cash Patel, kind of a jump scare. It's like, oh, is that the FBI director? And I feel like even the past 24 hours has become so normalized. But, you know, it is a crazy situation. And I think, but even, I mean, this doesn't look good. I mean, but ultimately for Cash, this is such a key one Trump can't get rid of because he needs, like, a just total sicker pant. Well, because he needs like a like a put another sycophant in there. I disagree with you. Put another sycophant. I don't think you could find a lowlier sycophant than Kash Patel. I do like legitimately think it's hard because, you know, for example, like they have that guy who's the FBI director who kind of replaced Bongino, who was the attorney general of Missouri. But that's a guy who I don't know a lot about him, but has his own kind of rise to power. I mean, Kash Patel is a guy who's completely dependent on Trump. the other thing I would add quick here is Cash Mattel is really like one of the government's most prominent bros I don't think he gets enough credit for it but I mean he's doing hockey he was using the jet to go to MMA games I mean he's really like broing out in a big way and obviously using his government jet to do it it's absurd I mean it's just it is absurd there's in theory a lot on the FBI director's plate like Nancy Guthrie is still missing that's been a priority of Cash He spent, wasn't he, was he out there? I forget. He spent a couple of days where he's, yeah, he went out there. He's prioritizing it. What the fuck? They haven't caught whoever abducted Nancy Guthrie. I mean, come on. Like there's so much going on right now. We're about to go to war with Iran. Potentially. I mean, there's going to be obviously heightened domestic threats because of it. He's out there chugging beers in the bowels of the Olympic stadium. Like, come on, man. it's crazy to me. Now, of course, all the MAGA folks that I saw were like, well, this is going to be awesome. Like, you know, stop being so, you know, uptight about it. This is just loving country. I don't know. Honestly, I don't think so. And maybe Trump likes this stuff, but my theory of the case is that if there's something that's going to harm him, it's not that he bros out or goes to these events. Like, Trump does the same thing. It's that he looked like a, you know, he looked a little bit, like, kind of pathetic like i'm part of the team and then chugging the beer which trump absolutely does not do like that's not in trump's vocabulary to do that stuff yeah i mean he looked like a fool and and and i think like that's also what the flying to see the girlfriend thing plays into i mean it's one thing to kind of like flex in this way or i think if he was sort of looking like oh you know i'm hanging out with the fellas but but as you said at the point where you're kind of pouring he looks thirsty like not literally thirsty and figuratively thirsty it's unreal to me and then he put out what did he put he put a tweet out he was defending himself he said oh you know i just love america and to all my media haters here it is you can see it for the very concerned media yes i love america was extremely humbled when my friends are they his friends do we know this i mean he obviously has some they're nfl players people have compared it to the moment in heated rivalry when one of the hockey players calls down the smoothie making guy onto the court after he wins onto the ice he's like you know we need cash do you think they're friends with him because they're like fuck this dude's the head of the fbi like yeah i better not you know we got to make sure to invite him we were just asking where you were we saved you this beer here's a gold medal cash please please don't do anything to my family cash um yeah okay we can take the tweet then So yeah, that's Cash's weekend. We'll just for posterity. The other thing is, like we mentioned above, part of the issue here is just pure hypocrisy. I mean, he was very critical of Chris Wray, the FBI director, for using the government-funded jet for personal travel. We could play the video here. This is just him talking about Chris Wray using the jet to go on vacation. Let's play the video. I'm not saying take all their funding. I'm not the defund everything guy. I'm just saying Chris Ray doesn't need a government-funded G5 jet to go to vacation. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought. Minimum. Just a thought. I know the penny pincher over here. I mean, you know, in the reaction to sort of the initial cash jet controversy, his side was saying, well, you know, cash decided that we're going to land at the Army Air Force Base, the military air force base in Washington rather than use Reagan airport. It's like we're going to use regional airports to save a little marginally on like the landing fees. Yeah. You know, I think we kind of blew all that with this one trip to Milan. So, you know, so much for that. This doesn't even get to the DHS jet that they're trying to buy for Corey and Christina. But that's another topic for another day. All right. We spent a good 15 minutes on that. I'm ready to move on. There's other things that happened. So I was not found. This one, we're going to go to Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee. I admit, I was not following this as closely. So can you do the sort of like 30,000-foot summary of what exactly happened here? Yeah, so Tucker Carlson obviously has been a big detractor of Israel. And Mike Huckabee is America's strongest soldier for Israel as the ambassador to Jerusalem. I mean, he is – so at one point, I think a few weeks ago, he said, Tucker, you son of a gun, why don't you interview me? You come to Israel, and I'll show you how it really is, and it's so nice. In particular, they've made a lot of, like Tucker has said, that Christians in Israel are sort of abused by the government or by Jewish activists. And so he said, you know, we're going to show you how nice the Christians have it here. And then this kind of Tucker does fly out there on a private jet. There's this kind of like interesting like contretemps where he claims like the embassy wouldn't provide security for him to travel from the airport. And then there was kind of this implication that the Israeli military was going to shoot down the jet because Tucker said, well, you need to provide them with like my tail number. So they know I'm not like a hostile jet. And they said that won't really be necessary. I think they just know it's like a civilian jet. And then he said, like, that's crazy, you know. And so let's just say, you know, this is a case. Stop. Just stop. So Huckabee invited him. Yes. and he did it under the idea that here's this incredible vocal critic of israel i can win him over with my southern charm and convince him that israel is actually good just as long as i get him to israel and he can see for his own eyes yes and tucker i think was very concerned about the get him to israel aspect and tucker in turn thinks he's going to be abducted or killed and so ultimately the the compromise they come up with is they're just going to do an interview in the diplomatic terminal at the Israeli airport. And then they're going to, Tucker will then escape immediately afterwards. And so they have this interview. Mike Huckabee, I will say, sounds like a lunatic. He does not come off very well. I mean, he really, like, people are like, I don't believe this is an ambassador. Like, you watch it, you kind of get into the rhythm. I mean, it's two hours long. And the big moment comes when he says that Tucker says, well, you know, there are these kind of hardcore Israeli Zionist activists who they want the concept of greater Israel. So Israel encompassing parts of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River in Iraq. Would you be okay with that? And Huckabee says, yeah. And so essentially like Israel taking over the whole Levant, all of that. And you won't be surprised to learn some Arab countries that would be encompassed in greater Israel were not thrilled. So yeah, that's not the only thing that Huckabee got tripped up on. There was another moment we didn't even put in the prep doc, but I'm trying to describe it correctly, where Tucker was like, do you believe that the opinions of Americans' voters are important? And Huckabee's like, absolutely. They mean everything. And then Tucker's like, well, 80% don't want a war with Iran. Should we not go to war? And then Huckabee's like, well, we should still go to war with Iran. So yeah, that was bad. But it was bad on all sides. Like it was just a very bad interview for both people because at one point, let's play here. Tucker accuses the current president of Israel falsely of being on Jeffrey Epstein's island. And again, this is false. I believe it's based on some AI thing or something. Let's play the video quickly. President of Israel, current president, who I know you know, President Herzog, apparently was at Petto Island. That's what it says in the disclosures. And of course, we know that the former prime minister, Ahud Barak. Yeah so I can give a little background there So the one of the EPC emails that came out said oh by the way the president of Israel this Herzog guy is going to be visiting Epstein I guess he didn call it Epstein Island but Epstein said he be visiting my island And so Tucker's making a reference there. And then there was some kind of AI generated imagery that was circulating. And so he's saying it really confidently. But, you know, the Israeli president came out and said, that's not true at all. Like, and I think heavily implied some lawsuit would be coming for Tucker. And so then Tucker had to put out a video saying, oh, my gosh, I certainly don't want to jump to conclusions about anyone in my commentary. You know, so so he retracted that. Retracted, but not apologize. He did apologize. He said, you know, it was very, it was an unusual tone to get from Tucker. I will say that this kind of like, oh, you know, we're running. We got an Edward R. Murrow situation. You know, we have to be really rigorous. So why would Huckabee want to even bother with this? I mean, honestly, it seems to me like Tucker's kind of a lost cause on this stuff, at least. And there's no point in trying to engage because you know what you're going to get. You're going to get him trying to trip you up and make you look like an idiot. I think Tucker may have called his bluff here. I think Huckabee may have thought Tucker wouldn't go to Israel. And then that might explain why the embassy was being so weird, according to Carlson, where he's saying, we're not going to provide you security or anything like that. And then ultimately, there's like, all right, fine. We'll just go to the airport. The other thing I would add, though, is Tucker's claiming that when they were at the airport, some of his producers were detained. And there was this kind of scuffle, that there was this threat of maybe some of them will be trapped in Israel. some of the surveillance footage came out that appeared to show tucker looking pretty pretty buddy buddy with these security officials though so it's it's a little unclear you know how how serious of a threat this really was that's like a nancy may situation yeah exactly iconic airport footage you really really play so much into our current events these days it's amazing i just you go somewhere you make up some sort of airport confrontation and fuck they have security footage turns out they have cameras at the airport i wish i yeah who knew who knew that they were filming this stuff um what's your current take on tucker's like status in the conservative ecosystem i'm always sort of perplexed like sometimes it feels very powerful sometimes he feels more marginal what's your latest state of play on that you know that's a good question i think the there has been a lot of pushback to him i mean i i think in part it's because with the war in gaza over for now I think Israel seems like somewhat less of a pressing issue in American politics. I mean, that may change a lot tomorrow if we invade Iran. But I think that there's sort of this sense, I feel like a lot of people are starting to say he's a kook. And I think the more kind of traditional Ben Shapiro, conservative, pro-Israel types are getting a lot more offensive against him. So again, I mean, he is sort of always in this kind of like weird space where, as you said, he's very influential in some ways because he has a big audience. But I think in other ways, like people are very hostile to him. Yeah, but every now and then he'll just pop up at the White House, it feels like. And you're like, oh, yeah, shit, he still matters. Yeah, that's true. And, you know, perhaps a sign of his influence will be if we do go to war with Iran, because in that case, he obviously I don't think really has a voice in the administration. No, it does bring me back to the initial bombing of Iran where everyone was freaking out. Remember, like this is in a conservative universe, too. And then, of course, the bombing did not. There was no backlash. I should say there was backlash. but iran did not uh you know hit us back for it and those voices seem to be quieted you don't see that really honestly you don't see the same sort of uh trepidation on the right uh as even as we're building up uh to go to war with iran right now yeah i mean i think after the the first bombing in iran and the maduro stuff i i just feel like the right is just like all right whatever i guess we're going to do intervention you know so much for you know america first or right although rogan had it you saw did you see rogan joe rogan had a little bit of there's a going around where he was like what the there's too much news going on like this is incredible like it's just i sometimes i want to unplug he's like i'm gonna go to a war with iran so it's like some people are seeing it and it's just but i'm with you i think that people have just gotten used to it at this point because there hasn't been american casualties knock on wood i think that's right i mean you know at the point where you know after the venezuela raid that you had people like nick fuentes who claim to be these kind of big doves in terms of foreign policy saying you know Oh, this is sick, you know. I feel like a real fallback for even these kind of, you know, these dovish figures is saying, you know, like, it's just like so sick seeing the American military in action. Or, you know, more and more we see people say, and this doesn't really apply to Iran, but they'll say, hey, that's the Don Roe doctrine, baby. And you know what? That is, yes, that was the cover of a New York Post from a few months ago. That's not a real thing. We'll say, hey, hey, it's the Don Roe doctrine. Yeah. Ik snap dat je je podcast wil luisteren, dus ik zal het kort houden. Because if you think it's important to make a cost-effective choices, can Acer maybe help? I think, how then?

Last topic of the day. Your boy. Your boy. we go fishback i mean it this is getting like absurd uh so james fishback for people who don't it's getting absurd it's been absurd james fishback for people who don't know is this 30 something um far right wannabe griper maybe griper uh who's running for governor in florida uh he is it's hard for me to assess and i'll ask you and i want you to take this in a second how real it is or how serious people should take the bid. It's running against, among others, Representative Byron Donalds, a congressman who is widely considered to be the frontrunner for Republican Party for governor. And usually the frontrunner kind of doesn't engage with these like far off middling challengers. But that seems to not be the case anymore. Byron Donalds has gone heavily after fishback over the weekend. uh among other things accusing him of not being a real uh griper uh is that the video we have uh yes let's play this video and then will's going to take over after this the people that run their mouth would never walk up to you or walk up to me and say what they say of course he said oh wait no not this video let's pause it for a second i'll get to that anyway yeah this is a different video. Anyways, Will, talk a bit about what Donald's is doing here. I think Donald's is getting a little concerned, to be honest with you. I mean, I think he, on one hand, James Fishback is a truly ridiculous character. You know, I've written about him. He is a sort of what we might call a talented Mr. Ripley type and a sort of a charlatan in many fields. This is very well documented in court records. You know, you said he's 30 something. I was going to say his girlfriends Byron's aren't always because, you know, famously, he's been accused of dating a 17 year old when she was in his anti woke debate program and he was in his 20s. And so this guy is not a guy who should be governor of Florida. And so Byron Donald's, however, I think, you know, there was some polling out. And I think from one of these like patriot polling firms. But this showed that that Fishback is getting, you know, into the double digits that he's not at one percent anymore. and you know take that with a grain of salt but it is interesting that that byron donalds is going on the offensive more and is is you know he's saying james fishback wouldn't say that to my face it's like i'm sure james fishback would love to you can see him trying to get into that event yeah we're gonna play that video stay out yeah we'll play that video in a second but what's crazy to me is that byron donalds is like you're not a real griper you're not you're no racist and i'm thinking to myself if anyone said that about me thank you yeah you're right i'm not well do we have that you're not a real groper tweet uh yeah let's put the tweet up okay there it is i hear you crash out um and and so the crucial thing here is is the third paragraph where he says you're no racist you're no groper you're no anti-semi you're what people hate about politics is the implication that people love the groopers and the anti-semites i get what he's trying to say he's trying to say you're just pretending to be a racist in a group because you think it plays well but you're actually not. Yeah, that is definitely true. I mean, he's had all these pivots. James Fishback was, I think a year ago, a real big pro-Israel guy. He was writing for Barry Weiss in the free press. He wrote so much so. Unbelievable. He loved him so much that he put up this college student who was his minion into creating a fake identity to email the free press and say, wow I really love James Fishback You gotta hire him more I mean it is it crazy and now he just like you know I I you know he also just incredibly racist towards Donald but as you can see I mean it is it crazy And now he just like you know I you know he also just incredibly racist towards Donald But as you can see I mean this Yeah, it is, I think, striking to say that, like, to see that Byron Donald sees the Gruper thing as compelling enough that he has to say, hey, man, you're just adopting that that identity. Yeah, we laugh about it because it's crazy. But like James Israek is authentically racist towards Byron Donald. He's calling him a slave. he said he's a slave he's going to send him back to the ghetto i mean it is it's not even this kind of code word i mean sometimes they'll call him like dei byron or whatever yeah um but i mean it is it is really sick stuff yeah yeah and it's it's disturbing honestly that um whatever traction he's getting for it he's getting some he's clearly getting some traction i mean this person should be dismissed from public life he has these college events where it's like hundreds of of kind of of disaffected young men. Weren't you in some focus groups where they were like, I like this guy? Yeah, we did some focus groups with Sarah Longwell where they would say, you know, like, I like Fishback. And they brought him up, you know, organically. And what they liked about him was he has these, I think, what are very, you know, good politician. I don't think the ideas are good, but it's a good tactic to come up with kind of a novelty law. And so in this case, taxing OnlyFans creators at 50% of their income. And then one of the OnlyFans ladies said, you know, hands off my money, pal. And then they got into a spat. But I mean, it's these kind of things that generate controversy. And people, you know, I think young men in particular, just briefly, I think there's this real kind of like, oh, I hate OnlyFans because it's, you know, taking all the trad women away from me. Has it? I don't think so. No, I think I don't think the situation is as catastrophic as they think. I think it just went on a different path than I thought. All right. So as you noted, as we played briefly, we'll play the video now. Fishback did decide to try to confront Byron Donalds to his face, or at least to create the illusion that he was. I don't even know if Donalds was there. I just like this video because the thick tri-state accent of the cop comes through so great in this video. But let's watch. The people that run their mouth would never walk up to you or walk up to me and say what they say. He said, I'm Kamala Harris. That's interesting. Listen for the cop. Stop right there. Stop right there. Stop right there. It's not real until you stand right here and you say it to my face. Will I be arrested if I walk into that building and ask Congressman Donalds why he would slander me and my family that way? You cannot go into it. I'm so mad. Not sure how I feel about that neck tattoo on Fishback Security. He has ordered you to arrest me. You're less than nothing. He has told the university to arrest me if I walk into this building. He has done that. A suede chore coat? Looking good. Yeah, looking great. Okay, so what was that? Do we know? Why do you do that? So Byron Donalds is having an event, I think, at Florida Gulf Coast University. And the key thing to understand about James Fishback is his whole thing is going to university. So I don't know if he sees this as his turf or whatever, but they're trying to have this confrontation. The other thing I would say about James Fishback is you have to keep in mind, as you see his antics here, these kind of frantic, steady cam antics of his. He is in a real life, uncut gem situation with his finances. He owes $2 million to his former hedge fund employer. They are repossessing everything he owns. They repossessed his Tesla. He bought a fancy watch. They are trying to take that. So as he's doing all this, he's like dodging these creditors. So that I think plays into his frenetic behavior. There's no way he's taking campaign donations, just using them for first. Of course. Stay tuned for next week's false flag. All right. Last thing on this, there is this, there's this questionable accusation of arson that's happened where Fishback says someone tried to burn down his house and then put up a video where he's holding a gun and he's like well i guess we have the oh is that the still footage or we have video i guess it's still we just have the footage there okay there you can notice the magazine is not in i'm not a big gun guy but um okay well maybe he's practicing some safety like when malcolm x could be at his window right yeah so do you what is your like suspicion level here of whether the arson is real or not so this was a yeah this started a few weeks ago where fishback was like someone tried to set fire to my house while a campaign meeting was going on. And then you look at what the fire was. And it was like a brush fire that encompassed maybe four feet square, if that. I guess, and it's very far from the house, I will add that. You know, on one hand, if you look at it on Google Maps, the house does have a lot of, I would say, uncut brush. So maybe someone just tossed a cigarette as they were going by spontaneously. It does make one wonder. and the fire department has said, especially obviously given Fishback's history of sort of duplicity and other matters, but the fire department has said that they are not investigating this as an arson. I do think, I checked with the police, they affirmed me to the fire department. From my perspective, if I was a police officer, if someone tried to burn down the home of a gubernatorial candidate, that would strike me as a potential criminal act that I might want to look into. So it does make me wonder what really caused it. Yeah, I don't know. Don't think this is the most trustworthy narrator. He did seem to have a nice video ready to go with the gun and everything. What do you wait for, do we know when the primary is for, for this race? I'm not sure. Okay. Do you think he has a real chance? Honestly? No, I think ultimately, I mean, like, I don't think people in the villages are like really going crazy for fishback. I mean, ultimately, I think the question is, how does he, how does he place? I mean, at this point, is he like the second place candidate? I mean, I think there's like lieutenant governor who's running as sort of the primary is August 18th. OK, we got a while here. We have some time for more antics. There's potentially more arson that could happen. There's more there's more things that could be repossessed. So there's a lot more beats in this story still to come. Jesus. OK. And then last question for predictive measures. Cash is future. Like, do you think he's got like he's going to serve the full term? I think Cash is going to serve the full term, and I think he's going to get an even bigger jet. Okay, you keep talking for a second because I'm going to pull up the Paul and Market Odds. With a little hockey rink on it. I want to put the Paul and Market Odds here, pal. You keep talking. Keep talking. So I think the other interesting thing about Cash is in terms of the jet, let's see, where has he been? He's been to Las Vegas, obviously Sin City, where he lives, but I believe that one overlapped with an MMA fight. Obviously, he went to Miami for the MMA. You know, I was thinking it related to the thing about him being like really a bro. I mean, part of that obviously is dating a country singer. So I think there's a lot going on that Cash is sort of, is this the face of American masculinity? Is it time for Clavicular to step aside? I couldn't find Cash Patel resignation. There was out by August 31st, 2025. But that obviously came and went. So if you bet on that, you're an idiot. We'll see. do you think the hockey team shows up at the State of the Union? Oh, good question. Probably. Why not? Well, it's tight. The State of the Union is tomorrow night. I mean, that's really tight. And then they have to get all the hockey team and the women's hockey team, right? It's a lot. I don't know. All right. As of now, I'm just looking by AI. Market position, zero probability to leave by 2026. Zero. That's according to Kyle Sheep. I don't know. It seems like, I feel like you should at least have a little bit of odds there. All right, cool. We'll be better prepared next time to do the Kyle. She type stuff. Should've done the research. Well, this was a good one, a good inaugural mega Mondays for folks who are watching.
