We'll see. It happened in New Jersey. A fish smashed into the windshield of a Tesla and cracked the windshield of the Tesla. Okay?

They caught it on the Tesla the video and they first thought that we have flying fish attacking people you can see the I mean a fish dropped onto a windshield and smashed it there was fish guts and blood all over the windshield and the people are thinking that you know there was some sort of we have flying attack fish now well then the guy says oh you know what well we've got eagles in our backyard too Duh. And we think it probably belonged to an eagle. And the eagle just dropped it.

Yeah, that happens all the time. Eagles flying around. That's what they've been flying around like that for, I don't know, thousands of years. Maybe it did. You know what? Maybe it did. I mean, I believe that more than I believe, yes, we have flying attack fish.

Okay. I believe that, yes, maybe it was a young eagle just out training. And he's, the dad's like, dude, I told you, you got a griving. better than that. You got to do better than that. That's what those talons are for, idiot. I go back and get another fish and bring it back because I'm getting a little hungry and if I have to go out there myself

you're not getting any of it. So go. That's very possible. So the only thing that ticks me off about this entire story is that they do this interview the couple and they figure, you know, they're saying, oh it's ha ha, it's common to see birds flying around with fish in their

their mouths and we just think the eagle drop and they expect to have their Tesla back soon after repairs. And then hubby, this Jeff in this interview, Jeff Levine or Levine, L-E-V-I-N-E, says, I've lowered my deductibles, so if any birds are listening, please don't drop it here because I'm covered now. That's the wrong joke.

It's the opposite. The joke is, I lowered my deductibles now. You can drop, I don't, you know, my car is ready for you to attack my, attack my, with your fish. That, the joke isn't, don't drop it, I'm covered. The joke is, I'm covered. Go ahead and drop it now. I don't.

I don't understand. I don't understand. It's just, the story, I may not even have done the story. Well, that's not true because the fish, we have flying attack fish. It just, the whole thing just kind of ticked me off. I've been thinking about it all night. Just like it's the wrong joke, you idiot. I mean, first of all, you're living in Jersey.

And you want people to believe that you were attacked by a fish. But you really weren't. You knew it was a bird, the eagle dropping birds. We see it all the time, but we want people to think we were attacked by a fish and how terrible it was. And now you want people to know that, hey, I lowered my deductibles. Any birds that are listening, don't drop it here because I'm covered now. No, the joke is, hey, I lowered my deductibles, so any birds listening, go ahead. Drop the fish.

I'm covered now. Is it just me? It is? Okay. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I mean, we have more sea life in the news today as well. We now know that sharks living off the coast of Brazil have tested positive for cocaine.

I know. It's the first time that the drug has been detected in free-ranging sharks. So we have found it in sharks that aren't free-ranging? Is that what I'm to believe? That sharks in aquariums are testing positive for cocaine? Okay. All right. So we'll see scientists tested 13 Brazilian sharp-nosed sharks in the waters off the city of Rio de Janeiro and found cocaine present in both the liver and muscle tissue of all 13 specimens. Wow.

The species were chosen due to its small size and the fact that it lives in a small area of coastal waters where it's exposed to significant contaminant discharges for its entire life cycle. So are they finding cocaine floating barrels around? cocaine and eating them possible I mean will we have cocaine shark movie soon yes we joked around about it after cocaine bear now we can

actually do it I was oh actually it was meth sharks right that's what I think I think that's what it was anyway it doesn't matter so cocaine levels were around three times higher in muscle tissue than liver tissue

while female sharks had higher cocaine concentrations in muscle tissue compared to the males. Cocaine pollutes the sea due to sewage discharges. Right, that's what they're thinking. So more people in Rio de Janeiro are just peeing away cocaine, and the sharks are swimming in the coke water. Because you don't see a lot of the cocaine bales down there,

where you see that is up in Florida, right? They're dropping it off. They're being chivaled. chased by the Coast Guard, so they throw it overboard. Or that's what they do. They throw it in the ocean with the balloon, and then you have the traffickers come and pick it up from the ocean with their trackers, and they get it. And sometimes, you know, a storm comes or whatever and washes it away, and you get

that up on shore. And then we find out about it because people turn it in, which is unbelievable to me, but, you know, whatever. So studies really have not been. conducted to determine whether cocaine damages the sharks. Oh, I don't know. Do you think that it affects other animals the way it affects humans? I don't know.

Let's test it. I still want to know how much of the non-free-ranging sharks are testing positive for cocaine. How many? Because this specifically says this is the first time that it's been detected in free-ranging sharks. So, okay. All right. I know that in 2019, the UK announced they'd found traces of illicit drugs and pharmaceuticals and pesticides in samples of freshwater shrimp. Yeah, I mean, Alex Jones told us about that forever. I mean, the shrimps are turning the frogs gay. Duh, because they're full of all this medicine. And then

Puget Sound, Puget, Puget, yeah, you know where it's at. At the Pacific Ocean there, along the northwest coast of Washington State in the U.S., said that muscles in the area had tested positive for prescription opioid oxycodote. So I may move to Puget Sound and just drink the ocean water.

It was just, yeah, what do you do in drinking the ocean water? Just trying to get a little oxy. That is awesome. So be careful out there. Man, you might run into some sharks that are Johnson for a fix. And those are the ones that are attacking. Those are the ones that are attacking humans. They're hoping that you're a bail of cocaine and you're not.

So now you've even pissed them off more. First, you pissed them off because you're, you're looking like cocaine. and so I'm going to go after you. And then now you're not. So I'm going to attack you even more. Just, you know, heads up if you're out there swimming in the ocean because the sharks are Johnson. Plus, now if you're out fishing and you catch a shark,

you normally throw it back. No longer, we're cutting that and cooking that bad boy up. I'm having some shark meat tonight with a little bit of cocaine in it. Oh, yeah. Is that the Coke shark? Yes. Okay, fry it up. Don't cook too long.

You don't want to cook it out. then more sea life in the news in uh new hampshire portsmouth new hampshire we have video of what it was purported to be a whale attacking a fishing boat oh no not that one that one's on the beach and it's dying so yeah no not that one well this one uh should be on the beach soon uh that was attacking boats in new hampshire oh my gosh no that one was a dying one on the beach so sad Yeah, she was trying to save it. So this was video. There was two boys on a boat, and they had their video, you know, their GoPro running,

and it shows the whale breaching and then smashing into the boat and tipping it over. There were a couple of fishermen on the boat. And when you watch the video, do we believe that whales are attacking boats? Yes, they are. They've attacked all kinds of sailing ships. off of Africa's coast, for sure they're attacking them. And they've learned, right, the one, what was their name? Ah, the one mother whale, she's the attacker.

But when you watch this video, it looks as though it was a mistake. It looks as though the whale was, you know, hunting and going after food and then breached. And it was like, oh, crap! And it's off to its side a little bit. And, you know, just kind of nicks the boat and tips it over, which is what they believe. However, and the two kids, the boat, man, the one kid's like, okay, we're out of here. I mean, he's concerned, and he should be.

Because if this whale is attacking, you do not want to be there. However, as I've said about the other attacking whale, so white gladys is the name of the killer whale that's been attacking these ships off of Portugal and down off of Europe, Spain, and Africa. However, I was looking at, there's fun fact, fun fact from the Portuguese and Spanish marine life scientists. They called the Atlantic Orca Working Group. That's what they call themselves.

Oh, okay, that's great. I said there were 197 interactions between boats and killer whales in 2021 and 207 in 2022. So, I mean, we're two years off of that. And my girl, White Gladys, is still leading her pack of orcas. I don't know if this particular whale in New Hampshire has any relation to White Gladys, got any news, maybe Gladys called him, you know, sent out a white orca male, Graham, and was letting other orcas know, hey, That's how you do it. You hit the back of the boat and you bring them down. And this one gave it a shot and tried it.

And it worked. So now he's like out there going, hey, White Gladys was right. We'll start taking these bastards out. It's hockey season and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice?

You know, another story that gets kind of misreported all the time is the cruise driverless taxi that every article, after it hit a pedestrian in San Francisco, because, There's a headline General Motors is restarting its cruise driverless taxi operations. I had been suspended last year because of the vehicle that hit a pedestrian in San Francisco. That's not really true. The pedestrian was hit by another vehicle driven by a human. And it threw that pedestrian in the air. And that's when the driverless taxi, kind of like the fish landing on the car.

You know, the car didn't act. The car was parked in the driveway, so it didn't have, you know, Tesla wasn't able to move it out of the way with the computer system. It did catch the video landing on the windshield load. But my point is, is that the pedestrian flew in front of the cruise driverless taxi. So the driverless taxi then hit that pedestrian and it continued to drive for a few feet and then pulled over. So it realized that the driverless taxi. did exactly what it was supposed to do. It hit something and pulled over.

It didn't actually hit the pedestrian. Well, see, that's where the thing is. I did. It hit the pedestrian. Only after the pedestrian was hit by another vehicle, a previous vehicle, driven by a human, and flew that person in the air, you know, launched that person in the air.

It really wasn't the driverless car's fault, but, you know, everybody, that's what everybody says. So good news for San Francisco, though. They'll have the driverless taxi operations back up. So if you're looking for a mobile place to go to the bathroom or something after you've taken your meth, perfect place to do it. Hop in the driverless cab and just if you get in a driverless cabin there's, you know, human waste in there, hop out.

Hop out quickly. Holy cow, that was not. And I'm hoping that. that actually the, you know, the video surveillance of those driverless taxis would then have it come in for, you know, a cleaning. I'm sorry, sir. Stop going to the bathroom in my car. Stop going to the bathroom in my car. Hopefully the computer system, you know, works that well. So today is National Cousins Day. Happy National Cousins Day for those of you that know all your cousins. So I was looking at this list on this news email that I received,

and it's going down a list of, could you guess whose cousins and who aren't if they're related? And so I go down to listen. Jenny McCarthy and Melissa McCarthy. Absolutely cousins. First cousins, by the way. Al Roker and Letty Kravitz. Yes.

Second cousins. Melania Trump and a Luciduct. no just because they're both Slovakian what they all look alike okay no they're not cousins all right then we have um kim Kardashian and donald glover stop it I mean that's just that's just silly uh Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady uh yes step second cousins once removed that doesn't even count What are we talking about? We're all step cousins second once removed. You kidding me?

Step second cousins once removed. I'm not even sure that is a real thing. Honestly, I'm not even sure that's a real thing. But hey, happy Cousins Day. And go out and tell your cousins, hey, it's Cousins Day. Love you too. In fact, let's go to the break.

room and see if we can find our cousins to get a drink together, shall we? Come on, because I need a drink desperately. You know, yesterday we chatted about Hollywood not really having any new ideas. They're coming, you know, they're just doing remakes of old movies. And I see where Sharon Stone is going to join Bob Odenkirk in the nobody sequel set for release on August 15th of next year. I mean, nobody was a fun movie to watch, and I like Odenkirk, but do we need a sequel of it? I mean, is he, is, do we need a sequel of it? Apparently the answer to that question is yes, so that's what we're getting. Robert Pattinson is in talks to star opposite Jennifer Lawrence in a Lynn Ramsey's thriller,

Die, My Love, with Scorsese producing it. Interesting. Ashley Benson, Jake Lacey, Justin Long, and Ron Perlman. How does that guy still get work? We'll star in the Clark Duke's comedic thriller Stranglehold. I wonder who the killer is in that movie. I wonder who could play a psycho killer. Oh, I know, Ron Perlman.

Yeah, let's hire him. A lot of dufus. And I like him. I like a lot of his work. Maybe that's how he continues to get work. Because I like a lot of his work. but man his personal stuff just drives me insane it becomes more and more difficult to watch old ronnie boy in a show because of his personal beliefs it just i just wish he would shut up it looks like uh and he

won't so he's not i mean he does not going to listen to me so go ahead ron you be you bro and i will say that a perfect definition of Ron Perlman came from a listener to Pat Gray Unleashed and chewing the fat and I apologize for not remembering your name. I was going to try to hold that to memory, but

her definition of Ron Perlman was perfect. He idols on pissy. That's Ron Perlman. That is awesome. That's a perfect definition of him. He just idols on pissy. So

you know who you are that gave me that a review and you are 100% right and I'm living with that definition of Ron Perlman. Also, Apple, I guess, is according to all reports, starting to pitch pennies. Wait, what? They're a $3 trillion company. Yeah, they're, uh, whoof, they're, uh, these unlimited budgets are going away. Which is a shame if you were thinking about doing a show on Apple. Plus, because you're living large if you get to go ahead from Apple Plus. Tim Cook is like, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Because, I mean, the severance, I mean, had all kinds of critical acclaim and Emmy

nominations. The first season ran $40 million over budget. I don't worry about it, though. Don't worry about it. We're worth $3 trillion. We're Apple. We're Apple Plus. Don't worry about it.

but how they are. They're completely starting to worry about it. Like, guys need to maybe close that wall a little bit. You start going $40 million over budget, and we just expect you to reach into the pockets and pay. Ooh, all right. Good luck. I mean, that's a problem with streamers overall anyway,

because they're not making any money. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean, we're fighting for that. You know, YouTube. said their ad revenue growth hit a speed bump. Yeah, big one. Slowing from 21% to 13%.

So speculation points to new players like Amazon making a big push into TV advertising. E-commerce giants pushing TV advertising on Prime Video, might be stealing YouTube's thunder. I mean, they're all looking for ads to make. And we'll see, Paramount Plus, I guess, is still struggling. I mean, they're creating some great content. And the guy or girl or gal or it or there or them or they, whoever created,

I talked about Paramount Plus, that's a genius idea. Whoever did it should be a multimillionaire and have a vice president office. When you pause on Paramount Plus, like when you watch YouTube or you watch Amazon or whoever, you pause a show. and it comes up to what show it is and where you're at time-wise, that kind of thing, you know, what you're watching, that kind of thing, which, you know, that's why you pause it sometimes. You want to see, I've been sitting here for 12 hours now,

and I'm continuing to, I'm binging this show, where am I at? Okay, season 5, episode 3. All right, I can keep going, and you push play again. But Paramount Plus, when you pause, it does that. but then if you leave it paused for I don't know how long let's say 20 seconds I think it's 30 seconds

but somewhere in that time frame then an ad comes up genius genius because you're still paused at where you want to be you still have the you know you're still the screen still up but a commercial comes up

that is a genius idea yes 100% and I don't know if that's a Paramount Plus thing or they own all that they own the own it because

you don't see it anywhere else and it's pretty incredible the other thing that happens on commercials too and we've talked about this pisses me off and I don't understand why they don't fix it YouTube. I don't have YouTube TV anymore and I don't know if Hulu does it and I think they do

I'm not positive. I have to go to check that. Okay so when I devr a show I would say I'd have DVR a series and I want to watch a series and I don't get to it so I sit down and I'm able to watch I'm able to stream it and I'm able to binge it and I could just fast forward through the commercials and go through it because they're older shows

and if they're newer shows a lot of times they make you sit through the commercials but the older ones depending on the networks you're okay with just fast forwarding and I like some of the commercials so I'll look at my wife hates it but I mean I'll be fast forward and they're like, oh, I love that commercial,

I'll watch it. Or I say, what was that commercial? And I rewind it, I want to see it because I want to know what kind of terrible thing they're hogging. And so, but what they don't do, like if I DVR show on, when I had YouTube TV, and this is where I first noticed it, so I'm using them as an example,

I'll DVR show on YouTube TV, and it's in the can, I can watch it whenever I want. So I go watch it. And the commercials are whatever the commercials were at that time. So if they're promoting a specific event or whatever, that commercial is still running in my DVR show. That's stupid.

What are we even doing? You have access to the shows. You know you do. You have access to what shows were DVR'd by whom, when. you know how long they stay in each person's account. You can't tell me you can't go in and delete those commercials that are timed and put in others or leave them blank. You can't, I mean, that's nothing.

It's just, it's silly to me. It's silly to me. That's lost revenue. But what do I know? Why would I want to create another way to have revenue when I could go back and say, well, you know, since you can't afford to be on the live show, any of the DVR shows that have dated commercials, we'll put you in those slots when those date out.

Just a little revenue enhancement. Again, what do I know? Nothing is what I know. How did I get started on this again? Oh yeah, the YouTube ad revenue. Lowering again. And then I see Warner Brothers Discovery is making a last-minute play to hold on to NBA rights.

They aired NBA games on TNT for over 30 years. And now they're going to attempt to match Amazon's rumored $1.8 billion a year offer. So I guess Warner Brothers Discovery, they've cut a thousand jobs, so people are happy with them

in the industry. I mean, they are happy. So the NBA, which has been cozing up to streaming platforms, yeah, they either stick with Warner Brothers Discovery's cable heavy approach, or they embrace Amazon Prime video future. So

I guess Warner Brothers is trying to secure a light of credit to match Amazon's upfront payment and questions linger about how they're going to fund this massive deal as cable TV declines. Yeah, I mean, no kidding. You've got TNT or Warner Brothers Discovery on streaming. They've got what so many cable homes,

which does not match the streaming numbers that Amazon has at all. I don't know that Amazon, if you go person to person, and maybe you lose some points there. Amazon says we have, you know, 800 million streamers or whatever. TNT says we are in 86 million households or whatever. You know, they're both probably, you know,

giving you a little bit of, well, what would you cause it? Oh, yeah, lies about how many people are, you know, actually viewing their content. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean, you're going to, they're in a tough place to outbid Amazon and then make a profit. after that,

good luck, God bless. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. You know, the other day we talked about

how Disneyland workers and their surrounding businesses were going to go on strike, or at least they authorized a strike. They aren't on strike yet. Well, we just got done talking about, you know, the streamers and they're cutting back numbers and they're looking to, you know, find ways to make money. You know, many streamers are losing subscribers and their people, well, first of all, people

are just like the $3 trillion company, Apple, is saying, you know, maybe we should, I don't know, tighten our belts a little bit. those things aren't looking really well for the United States these days I don't know where they've been but you know people are actually starting to realize you know that butter is pretty expensive yeah yeah and so is everything else and so is everything else but then I see where the Teamsters are now turning up the heat in Hollywood and Hollywood Basic Crafts are still duking it out with the AMPTP

after five weeks of talks, they're still far apart. So July 31st, which is right around the corner, and Teamsters aren't in the mood for anything. So if they can't seal the deal, we might see another 8,000 workers from drivers to animal wranglers, go on strike in Hollywood. So Hollywood production would screech to a halt. So the writers still can write,

because they just signed a new deal. Actors, you know, can still act. But without the truck drivers and the craft wizards, and specifically the truck drivers, the lifeblood of America, by the way. No one supports truckers more than this show and me, and I mean that wholeheartedly. Or the cameras won't be rolling.

So, I mean, I guess you just stick a GoPro on the actor and say, go ahead. It's all you. Take care of yourself. That won't go over well with the team shows. That'd be like crossing a picket line. If the actors were to put like a camera on and say, okay, I have my own cameraman.

No, you're not. That'll be fun. Then we have the strike looming for the voice actors. Sag after his chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree Ireland, who I love Duncan Crabtree, Ireland. Just got the green light to call a strike against the. major gaming companies at a moment's notice. Core issue, artificial intelligence, and its impact on voice acting.

Well, I do agree with this 100%. After two years of negotiations, the union and game studios remain at odds over how AI should be used and regulated in the industry. 98% of SAG members are backing strike action. The last voice actor strike lasted six months, so be ready. for delays in your favorite game releases. I mean, there's more than just the games, but people are, you know, make a lot of money

doing voice actor work in games. I don't, because no one ever asked me to be in a game, which, you know, is a little disheartening to me. It's a little disheartening. But I'm just saying, if I were a voice actor in a game, I'd be pissed because AI is getting ready to take all our jobs, and it is not good.

quote me on that. You know, another thing that's not good. I'm driving in this morning. 4.15 a.m., something like that. I'm coming in to do Pat Unleash like I normally do is my chewing the fat segment on Wednesday. And I show up other days from time to time, but, you know, Wednesday and Friday are the days for chewing the fat segments. I'm Pat Gray on Leashed. Happy to be a part of the program.

So I'm driving in and I usually listen to one radio station up to the agricultural report. report. Then after I get the ag report, I switch over and listen to Coast to Coast A.m. to see what George Dory is doing on Coast to Coast A.m. Got the Ag report. No problem. But wildfires today. Don't worry about it. There's only, I don't know, 30-some million odd acres burning. We're fine. We're fine. So anyway, I switch over to coast to coast. And he's talking to this guy, Benjamin Baruch, who I go into the website to find out his name because George never tells me his guest name going into the bottom of the hour break. He just says, hold on, we got to go to a break.

So Benjamin is talking about these biblical prophecies, and he's tying in biblical prophecies timelines with when the end of the world is going to be. And so he believes that World War III will start this year. Now, if you're listening, today is July 24th, 2024. He believes that World War III will officially begin within six to seven months from right now. Well, it would be within six months if it's going to be this year. So just saying, Ben. But he believes that he looked at the timeline and believes that World War III will take place in the season of fall seven years prior to the coming.

so that would put World War III 2022 which means it would be expanding because he believes that Jesus is coming back in 2013 so the war before Jesus's return has to be seven years prior to that which is where we're at right now it's not all bad news according to Benjamin but really dark days ahead

I mean he was talking about countries invading the U.S actually invading the U.S. from our shores he was talking about countries who have already got soldiers in the country, which we know we do, crossing our border, unchecked, or literally just coming across the border, unchecked every day, millions of them, and many of them from countries who want to do us harm,

so that if they wanted to attack us, come on shore, then they would also have soldiers inside the country at the time attacking us. You could make that case. You guess what Ben did. and so my favorite part of the whole thing is I'm like I'm riveted with what he's talking about because I'm like holy crap that's I don't want that to happen at all I don't want to believe it's going to happen and I want to tell Ben shut up you don't know what you're talking about I don't care what kind of expert you are on the Bible I don't care what kind of books you've authored I want you to zip it okay I don't want to know about it so but coming up on the bottom of the George Norrie has got a break. I'm kind of bashing George Norrie here on this segment.

I'm coming up on the George Norie break at the bottom of the hour where there has to be at least three minutes of music. Actually, I think it's only two. But it feels like eight minutes of music going into the bottom of the hour. And then it feels like another eight minutes of music coming out of the bottom of the hour break. And then it feels like another eight minutes of music going into the top of the hour. And then it feels like another eight minutes of music coming out of the top of the hour. So it cuts down all this time to do any kind of a show.

huh I wonder if that's why he does it anyway so he's got it's like he's not even listening to ben Ben is going talking about I mean the end of times the World War III and attacking our shows and it's automatically break time I'll hold that thought Ben we've got to go to break and the music starts and then we're I'm like are you even paying attention to what this guy no he wasn't paying attention so I you know whatever

I know George has been doing it a long time and he does a great job for the Premier Radio Networks. But, holy cow. Just, I was paying attention to what your guest was saying, and I didn't like it. And maybe he didn't either. Give George the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe he's like, dude, I've heard this crap before. I got to go to break. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister.

This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. So it's being reported that hackers have stolen

and leaked internal documents stolen from Lidos Holdings, which is one of the largest IT services providers to the Pentagon, Homeland Security, NASA, and other U.S. government agencies. I'm sure it's fine, and I'm sure that there's no problem. They probably got documents

that have anything to do with the Pentagon or Homeland Security or NASA or any of the other government agencies. So I don't know. You know what? I don't even know why I'm bringing it up. Never mind. I'm sure it's fine. Then I see where the FBI, you know them, you love them,

they now admit to lying. And I don't know that they actually admitted, but it's proven that they lied. All right, so last year, an FBI official told Congress that it believed one of his agents, whistleblower Garrett O'Boyle, was a suspected leaker in an anonymously filmed interview with the undercover Project Veritas.

And the claim that led congressional Democrats to urge a criminal investigation of the agent. Well, come to find out. The FBI knew that it wasn't O'Boyle. It was another FBI agent. agent that was the leaker. And, you know, did we forget to say something? Gosh, darn it.

Ah, we meant to. Ah, oh, gosh, darn it. Now, I loved how they found out they said, um, let's see what was there. I want to talk about how they found out it was him. And if you think, I mean, it's this incredible how they found out it was him. So he had a mask on or a hood with Project Veritas, right? and so they listened had the video looked at the video and with voice analysis from the FBI on the Project Veritas video

they knew that it was not O'Boyle and that it was seraphon and now that it is completely out Project Veritas said yep that was seraphon not O'Boyle. All this time, O'Boyle has been paying the price for this. He was ready to move back east. He had sold his home, and he was looking to buy another home. He couldn't do that after this. So he's left without a home. He's got a family to take care of. He's been suspended. And unbelievable that there's still, you know, this vindictive retaliation to O'Boyle when it wasn't him and they knew it wasn't him man it makes you

proud it makes you proud makes you proud makes you the FBI the Federal Bureau of Investigations right just just incredible great bunch of guys great bunch of guys and again I don't know that it has

anything to do with the special agents on the ground so I you know I'm still behind you, I got it. I understand. I got it. It's a tough job and I appreciate all the work that you do. Don't come to my house. I appreciate it.

But I mean, for the upper level management to do that, that should concern every special agent. Like, you thought they had your back? Think again. They don't. It will throw you to the wolves

any chance they get. I mean, holy cow. Just amazing. Hey, be sure to follow me on my social media accounts at Jeffrey JFR on X. Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram.
