All righty, let's get started, shall we? I want to lead with the mistakes. Yes, I know. I want to get that right out in the open. Last week, I talked about Duncan Donuts, although they're not called Duncan Donuts anymore. They're just Duncan. Was going to sell for over $9 billion.

And I was wrong. I apologize. it ended up being a total of $11.3 billion. Now, the deal went for under $9 billion. It was $8.8 billion. But then when you take in all the debt, it ends up being a total of $11.3 billion. Just incredible.

So the Inspire brands, backed by the private equity firm Rourke Capital, has Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Jimmy Johns, and now Duncan and Baskin Robbins under their umbrella for $11.3 billion. I mean, Duncan has, I think, over 12,000 storefronts, and Baskin Robbins has 8,000 or so storefronts. So this is a good deal for Inspire. No, no question, although, you know, it's an awful lot of, awful lot of money.

It was incredible when I was reading about it. In 2005, they sold for $2.4 billion. Then they went public in 2011. And in 2020, it's over $11 billion. Man, I wish I had a piece of that donut. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Don't mind me. I'm just, you know, boarding up the windows like the rest of the country.

It's kind of sad, actually, when you think about it. We're talking about cities across America boarding up. Wow. They're talking about covering your windows, installing security measures. Buildings are talking about their apartment buildings in New York are saying, yeah, you know, we're bad. Don't worry, we're just going to hire some armed guards, you know, just to make sure, just in case.

Don't worry about it. If you're leaving or coming from the building and you see those armed security guards, they're there for your safety. So are you actually going to think about leaving your place? I don't know. I don't know. They're talking about building a non-scalable fence

around the White House, and they're talking about putting it, you know, it's going to eclipse, Lafayette Square, the entire White House complex. 250 national guardsmen have been put on standby that are reporting to Metro Police. That's in D.C. at the White House. I mean, D.C. themselves are saying, eh, you know, you just may want to be prepared.

That's all. Okay. No problem. One place boarded up back in July, or, know back when it just opened, you know, during the pandemic, and then he pulled him off in July, and now he's decided, eh, you know what, I'm going to put him back on again.

You never know. If this happens, really, we're in a bad place. I mean, we're already in a bad place because they're talking about the possibility of violent protests because of election night. If you're listening to this live on the 2nd of November 2020, tomorrow is the actual election day.

So people, including myself here at 2 in the Fet, back here to boarding up, getting ready to board up the windows. No, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I may regret that in the end. But these businesses, are you, I mean, if you regret it, good, you were safe.

And if you don't regret it, because bad things happen, you'll be happy you did. It's just a bad place we're in in this country when we have to worry about this. So just be careful and keep in a watchful eye out and be sure to, if you feel like the possibility of huge areas that you are in,

you know, you're not a hotel, you're not an office building, you're not a coffee shop you're not a restaurant you're just uh you know sitting home thinking about uh something happening in your area you may just say don't worry about me bill just uh you know the storm's coming ready for the hurricane but you don't really live in hurricane

yeah yeah don't worry about it i don't worry about the storm coming i'm just boarding up for it. It's just a I don't know. Sad. Sad is what it is. Another thing that's sad, we had the big story of Walmart pulling the firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution. You know, possible unrest.

You know, that really wasn't a bad idea. They said originally that, you know, you could still purchase the items. They're just not going to be out on the floors. And if the stores get looted, that's probably a pretty good idea but then of course they caught all kinds of

fire so they reversed course and said no no no no no no no never mind we'll put it back out on the floor so you can see it don't worry about it it's going to be sure we were going to keep it in a safe location

in the back of the store out of an abundance of caution, but don't worry about it. Fine, we'll put it back on the floor again. If you've also wound up about that, don't worry about it. Okay. I mean, the ammunition shelves have been kind of empty lately anyway, but I love how they reverse course. Man, the people that shop at Walmart were not happy about,

you're going to what? No, you're not. Now, you're right. We're not. just we were thinking about it and then you know we decided yeah we probably should do it and then you guys got all wound up at us so then we decided no you know what no we'll put it back out on the floor again okay duh all right enough of that um i i see where the shortest unit of time ever measured happened and no i wasn't talking to your wife thank you

be here all week. It's called a zeptos second. A zeptos second. That is a trillionth of a billionth of a second. A decimal point followed by 20 zeros and a point point point. So previously researchers had dipped into the realm of zeptos seconds. They used lasers to measure time and increments down to 800 and 50 zeptos seconds.

Okay. Now in 1999, we had the femtoseconds, which are the millions of a billionth. But remember, a zeptos second is a trillionth of a billion. So it takes femtoseconds for chemical bonds to break and form, but it takes zeptos seconds for chemical bonds to break and form, but it takes zeptos seconds for light to travel across a single hydrogen molecule. I mean, I, you know, I feel like I'm talking down to you, so I'm sorry.

So it's a very short trip. Hey, thank you. No kidding. So these scientists, the researchers, set the energy of x-rays to that a single photon or particle of light, knocked the two electrons out of the hydrogen molecule. A hydrogen molecule consists of two. protons and two electrons. I know. Duh. The photon bounced one electron out of the molecule and then the other. It's a bit like, I feel like I'm dumbing it down to you, but it's like a pebble skipping across

the top of a pond. Now, these interactions created a wave pattern called an interference pattern, which the scientists could measure with a tool called a cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy. the coltrims. It's a reaction microscope. It's essentially a very sensitive particle detector that can record extremely fast atomic and molecular reactions. The coltrims, the cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy,

recorded both the interference pattern and the position of the hydrogen molecule throughout the interaction. Duh. Okay. So now they've got it down to two, 247 Zeptoseconds. Wow. They were at 8.50.

Now we're down to 247 Zeptos seconds. I just want to be going on record as saying that that's pretty freaking fast. Okay? So it's a decimal point followed by 20 zeros and a one. Okay. Remember the Zeptos second. is a trillionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second. So 240 zeptos seconds is 247 trillions of a billionth of a second.

Okay. So the zemtoseconds are millions of billions, not trillions of billions. Duh. So we do now have. the fastest measurement of time. It's a 2407 Zeptos seconds.

Now, you can quote me on this. It's pretty freaking fast. It may take you a little bit longer than that to subscribe to chewing the fat. As long as we're here and we're talking about zeptos seconds and femtose seconds, you might as well take a few seconds, a few regular human

Great deal. $30 off for a year's subscription, I think today may be the last day, but try, you know, just do it.

because they said it was going to be up to the election, so I don't know if it's when the polls closed, or if it's, you know, when the polls open tomorrow, I don't know who's going to be recording what time it's going to be. I don't know if they're going to cut it off in a zeptos second or a femtosecond or just a regular second of time. But you're going to want to do it. ASAP.

We've all seen the, you know, ancestral mathematics online that talks about, you know, two parents equals four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, 64, fourth, great grandparents, 128, fifth great grandparents, 256th great grandparents, 512, 7th great grandparents, 1,024 eighth great grandparents, 2008 9th great-grandparents and you know it talks about how many struggles and how many battles and how many difficulties and how much sadness and how much happiness how many love stories how many expressions of hope for the future did your ancestors have to make it so you exist at this

present moment so dusty a member of the black feet indian tribe dusty crawford decided he wanted to find out about his ancestors as well. He'd always been told that his ancestors came from Siberia across a land bridge. However, tribe members always told a different story. They talk about how one instructor at Blackfeet Community College say there's no oral stories that say we crossed a bridge or anything else. So his brother, who has since passed away, talked him into taking this DNA test. It's a CRI ancestry test.

Okay. Now, pretty incredible. It's a CRI genetics DNA test. They traced this man's ancestry back 17,000 years. Incredible. Okay. So his answer. was older than the land bridge that once connected Siberia to Alaska,

which is what he was told at school, you know, when he was a kid. Now, obviously the professor at the school knows of no story with the land bridge. That's because, according to the ancestry test, the CRI genetics DNA test, it talks about them coming by boat. Okay. his closest genetic ancestors came from the Pacific Islands, not Siberia. Some of the first people to set foot in the Americas came by boat to South America. And they, you know, obviously gradually worked their way north over, you know,

thousands of years and travel and get to where dusty is with the Blackfeetrot. So they found remains in Peru that had a DNA from the same, haplo group, which ties to Dusty Crawford, so he could trace his lineage directly back down to Peru and back across the Pacific Ocean. Wow. I mean, he's got a blunt line dating back 17,000 years and 83% of it is Native American. That is unbelievable. And you know, I never really wanted to know. We've talked about it before. I didn't really don't. I don't. I don't. I don't know it doesn't it's kind of nice to think about it but i don't know that i really want to know that you know my great great great great great great uncle you know dug latrines for the king i don't know

so so far 26 million americans have taken a DNA test and that number is expected to double this year i mean we're probably been sitting around the pandemic wondering, where do we come from? I don't know. So, I mean, we want to find out who and where we're from. I get it. We want to find new ancestors. We're all in search of, I am related to the king.

Are you? Are you? Okay, great. No problem. Go pump your own gas. See you tomorrow. You want to verify some family history. You want health and, you know, updates on your body.

You want to feel connected to the past. You want to know where the future's going? I guess. I get it. But, you know, now they're busting people for DNA tests. If it was safe, of course it's safe, Jeff. You can opt in and out of everything. Okay.

Okay. No problem. I got you. But, you know, we're busting people because of these DNA tests. And that's a little scary. I don't want to be, I don't want to know that, you know, oh, you know, you're related to the guy that killed 85. people. He's one of the worst murderers

in history. You know, what am I going to write a book? Wait, maybe that's not a bad idea. I don't think about that for a second. Huh. My great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, uncle. Ooh, was a mass murderer. Coming this November.

I love it. No problem. Let's take a break. I need something cool to drink. brittly let's go to the break room oh yeah sounds good and is good by the way and is good all right we definitely have an update to operation varsity blues canon tonight's episode going to jail so we talked about it before why she should turn herself in early and she did she must be listening to chewing the fat lorry you know i think it's all bull i think

the fbi pressured you into this they bullied you into a corner and you know you ended up having to you know do the deal i get it but uh that and you wanted to be home for christmas and that was you know your kids are already saying they're distraught and they're going to miss mom we like her home for the holidays okay and that's why we talked about just turn yourself in You don't have to wait because the last date that she had to turn herself in was the 19th of November 2020. And there was no way. If she goes into the 19th, there's no way she gets out by Christmas, right? Because even though they're going to let her out early, they are, there's no way.

That's a month, right? She has got to serve at least a month. So she's got to serve a little bit more than a month. But she goes in early. She's out before Christmas. She misses Thanksgiving. and she's out before Christmas. Now, I'm saying the 18th of December.

So she's out and she's back home for Christmas. Maybe even earlier than that. No way she serves the full two months. But she has to serve more than a month because, you know, of being such a high profile character as part of this Operation Varsity Blues scandal that went on. So Hubby has still got to serve five. months? I mean, that's doing some distance, right? So hubby just, we're going to get rid of him as soon as she gets out. He goes in. Have a nice day. Take care of yourself. Plus, he's got to pay $500,000.

Okay. Okay. No problem. 500 grand and five months. That's a tough one. Anyway, Lori's in jail and we, I'm glad to see that she took our advice and went in early. And hopefully that deal has already been made. That she goes in early and we'll get her out with good behavior. So she's home for Christmas. So I'm willing to make a chewing the fat guarantee. She's out by December 18th. Latest.

Laterest. Operation varsity blues. I love this theme so much. Canon. It's canon. Tonight's episode. Country blues. So as long as we're still in the break room,

we might as well talk a little bit of entertainment news. And the first piece of entertainment news that I have is Netflix is hiking their prices. They're starting to push their limit with me. They are starting to push their limit with me. So the standard plan is now going to cost $13.99. That's going up a dollar. And the premium plan is going up two bucks. to 1799 versus the 1599. Okay. All right. Now you're starting to push your limit to me. I know that you're making your changes because you think you're doing everything that is worth it and you want to be able to pay for this entertainment. But you went up. They're talking about they dropped U.S. subscribers by 120,000.

3,000 following a price hike announced in January. That was the biggest price increased ever, two months, for the premium and a dollar for the standard. And then we had, you know, there are people dropping off saying that, you know, a bunch of people canceled them over the cuties thing, which is just silly, but okay, if you want to go with it and that's in your heart, good for you.

So, but according to them, they finished the year with more than 20, million new subscribers around the world. Right? We talked about that. They've got a hundred and ninety million subscribers globally and they want to take some more money out of my pocket. Now you're starting to push your limit with me. Of course, we're updating our prices so that we can continue to offer more variety of TV shows and films. In addition to our great fall lineup, as always, we offer a range of plans so that people can pick a price that works best for their budget. Is that a range? Is that a range of plans?

I think not. I think that is not a range of plans. If I want to be able to stream it on more than one device at a time, I have to, you know, I got to pay the premium price. So you better start creating some pretty damn good content, Netflix. There better be some pretty good new content coming. And you've done okay. You've done okay.

but you keep raising the price on me that okay better turn to a good instead of just okay all right all right we got that out of the way and I mentioned I mean we're on entertainment

I mentioned Sean Connery passing away at the age of 90 he was I didn't realize and I don't know why I mean he's been retired but one of the reasons that and I didn't say this in this article but one of the reasons that he actually retired

was because of the dementia that he was dealing with, and his widow had said that the disease had sapped him of his vigor, and he got his final wish to pass away peacefully. It was no life for him, said his wife. He wasn't able to express himself,

and he died in his sleep. It was peaceful. Wow. I mean, that is sad news. And I mean, I don't wish that on anyone. That scares me. that's a disease that scares the heck out of me. And it's very sad that he passed away,

let alone knowing that he then suffered all this time because of that with the ongoing dementia. It's just really a bad thing. And I, thankfully, he's at peace now. And that is a good thing. More Hollywood happenings. Brad Pitt, feel sorry for him. I mean, he's a little upset now.

He split up with his new girlfriend. Nicole Paroloski, remember Brad was, you know, dating the model. And she's just a couple years younger. I mean, Brad's 56 and she's 27. And they were all in love, hot and heavy. And now it's not anymore. Sad. I mean, he just took her to France to piss off the X.

And now they're, now they've cooled down a little bit. I don't know. According to the stories, she was the one that cooled things off, I bet. But explaining that his life was way too complicated right now.

That's the reason? Okay. All right, baby. Thank you, Nicole. Love you too, baby. Love you too. Did you see also, Leanne Rhymes,

I know this is kind of outside of Hollywood, although Leanne's been in some Christmas movies, right? So she's, Hollywood. The big deal was that she has posted these nude pictures of herself on her Instagram account. And, you know, obviously when I see, you know, a Hollywood star saying, hey, she's posing nude on her Instagram account, I'm going to go there. That's just who I am.

So, you know, Leon Rhymes. She's got half a million followers, blue checkmarked on Instagram. And, you know, I like Leanne. I know she's had some struggles and stuff, but, you know, I like her. but she has had the reason that she did it is because she's been suffering from this psoriasis since she was a little girl and she wanted to show people what she's been suffering with and i guess she talked about it on somebody else's podcast who wasn't chewing the fat leanne i'm here for you if you want i mean i can understand why you wouldn't want to talk about it with me but that's fine so she took some pictures of showing how this psoriasis is really so it's psoriasis is really so cyriasis right is that of the liver she's suffering from this is why she didn't say say it on my podcast because

i'm like was that part of the liver it's a psoriasis not cirrhosis not cirrhosis leanne i feel for you i'm not making fun of the disease or whatever it is because it's it does not look good and i'm glad it's not me having to suffer with it but she's had this skin condition and she wanted to be let people know that she's been holding onto it for so long and it's such a relief that she now knows that people are able to be aware of this. She said it's my whole body, my mind, my spirit, needed this desperately. And the day that she put this out was World Sorriasis Day. It's not Sorosis Day.

I thought this would be a perfect time to share my story. and she did. And she wrote a whole full essay, I guess, for Glamour magazine. And, you know, she posted the pics on her Instagram. And bless her heart. Bless her heart. I get it. I get it.

It's got to be a, I mean, that's a, look, we all have our struggles, right, that we don't like to talk about. But sometimes you just have to. And Leanne Rhymes did that as well. Remember I told you also that Ellen was on her way out, I know the numbers are still kind of strong when you get to new numbers and, you know, you're looking at them and you think, well, maybe Ellen's just hanging on. But no way, because what's her face is the new upcoming star? Drew Barrymore. Then we heard rumors that James Corden was, you know, looking into becoming the next Ellen DeGeneres and, you know, leaving the late night thing.

But now rumors are saying that Cordon is. is just as mean as Ellen, if not meaner. So he's got bad behavior, too. So Drew Barrymore is up. I'm telling you, you heard it here on chewing the fat. I mean to tell you, Drew Barrymore is going to be the next huge talk show, and the rest of these people are going down.

Going down. Speaking of going down, Alyssa Milano. she's she could write I'm sorry laughing laughing at my own stupid joke that I didn't mean to be a joke

so Alyssa Milano you know the reason she's so agonizing is so outspoken and so in everybody's face and she's such a double standard nightmare from Hollywood I was looking at the picture that they have of her in this story

from, she does not look good. She looks like she's getting angrier and angrier. But of course, you know, it's Halloween and she wants to celebrate Halloween. So she dressed up like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And of course she has to share it with the world because that's what she does. So she tweeted out, happy Halloween.

RGB forever. Wait, isn't it RBG? Yep. Oh, she's got to delete that. And then she tweeted out another one. Happy Halloween, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Hashtag notorious RBG. Well, she got the RBG right in the hashtag this time,

but she spelled Ginsburg's last name wrong. But she would tell you that she loves Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and we shouldn't have replaced her until we had the election. Oh my gosh, that's exactly what she said. And so her having, uh, everybody makes, mistakes I get it but she's just agonizing and I always wanted to like her and now I can't and it makes me makes me bad did you do something for Halloween I did not we stayed dark I don't want any little rug rat kids coming up to the house holler at

and I didn't want to set up a long tube and think it was funny I could have done it from here, actually, from the studios that I just got done boarding up. I'm going to put the shoot down and have them just, you know, throw the candy down the shoot to the kid. And, and it's just, you know, I just, if I want candy, I'll go. I was very disappointed.

And then I see pictures of people, you know, have cameras everywhere, showing kids coming up and taking the whole bucket of candy that you had left out. And they were mad about it. And I'm like, well, duh. And what does it matter to you? If someone comes up and takes it all and goes away, then you're good.

You set the candy out there to be used. It will be used from this one person instead of 30. And, you know, you move on with your life. But the kid was pretty funny. And the one picture I saw, he came up, emptied his backpack. Or, I mean, filled up his backpack. I can't even speak. It's what the kid did because he ticked me off.

I wanted to be on this kid's side. And then he looked at the camera that he saw and he gave the camera the finger. So I don't even know if it's real or not. I want to like the kid for taking all the candy. I don't want to like him for giving the finger to the camera. He should have just taken the candy and moved on with his life. See, that's a little brats. Little brats.

And I see all the theme parks had no Halloween at Disney, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, all of them canceled all of their Halloween horror nights. Those are great events. Great events that just get shut down. Wow. Just want COVID to be over, don't you? Yeah, well, good luck.

Because it's not going to be over. You have Michigan saying up to six months in prison is possible if businesses don't surveil customers for contact tracing. Incredible. Any establishment that does not comply is threatened with a maximum $200 fine, misdemeanor charge punishable with up to six months in prison, and a $1,000 civil fine for violating the state's emergency orders.

That makes you want to go to Michigan. I'll tell you that. And then you have New York. Why go to New York at all? They now say, according to the governor, he's going to make you have a COVID-19 test within three days of departing from another state.

So I have to prove, I have to have my papers now to go into the state of New York. And also, that's not good enough. I have to go into New York, prove that I tested negative with a COVID-19. test, wait three days, get another COVID-19 test and test negative before I can be allowed to travel

around New York. How about no? Now, according to this, it's not going to apply to New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Why? Why? Just because they're connected? So what? assuming that will go away.

But it doesn't matter because I don't know why he's, I mean, I know why he's not making New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania do it. But any place else, you have to. I have to show papers to get into the state. Then I have to be, I'm sorry, quarantined or some people would call it jailed for three days. And then I have to get another COVID-19 test on the fourth day. Are you, is the state paying for me to be quarantined for three days? Or am I expected to do that on my own as well?

Because I was expected to show you a negative COVID-19 test, which apparently I have to pay for. And now I have to pay for another COVID-19 test to prove negative after three days of quarantine in New York to be able to travel around the state of New York? No, thank you. Big surprise that people want to leave that place. What a nightmare. And then I know, look, I know the governor from New York, Cuomo.

He's all wound up because his daughter has been taken care of a little business with the state trooper. That was a security guard for the governor. He's on the security detail. So apparently, the daughter, Kara Kennedy Cuomo, 25, got a job. She's been working at the mansion, the executive mansion in Albany. and trooper Dane Fyfer, 35, well, yeah, he's a little older, not much, 35, she's 25, decided to take care of a little care of Kennedy Cuomo Bitness. And the governor has now shipped him off according to protocol of dignitary protection.

Oh, okay. So they mandated his removal. That's why we moved him to the board. border. Oh. Yeah. He's going to be, no, you're not messing with my daughter. My daughter isn't going out with a state trooper security guy. No problem. You could go work at the gate at the Canadian New York border. Thank you. I'll teach you to be messing around with my daughter. So he's such a good guy, the governor, such a good guy. She's got to be just the happiest girl in the whole USA. Name that song and you'll win a brand new.

Apparently I found out today. that I'm going to be part of the Blaze Television Network's coverage. Apparently, the guy that thinks he runs the joint, Glenn Beck, wants me to be George Washington and move closer and closer to a coffin

every time Biden wins a state or wins, I don't know, a county or whatever he's going to do, and they're just going to move me closer and closer to the coffin. And then at one point, if Biden wins, you know, I get in the coffin and George Washington. Washington is dead. Now, so I have to go see if I can find a fat guy George Washington outfit. Good luck with that, but, you know, you never know. And, you know, of course, you know, I'll be there for in-depth, in-depth election coverage. They'll be asked coming to me for, you know, important, insightful ideas that I have about this election.

but instead I'll just be there as George Washington moving closer and closer to a coffin. But hey, I'll be part of the Blaze television election coverage and at least that'll get some national coverage. Let's hope so. So when they promote it, let's hope they promote it as chewing the facts. George Washington, you know, it won't happen, but it's nice to think about anyway, right?

But I went out to, speaking of, up. And I wasn't really speaking of it, but you know, we were talking about New York and Michigan and contact tracing and, you know, going around with your papers. I was at a place this weekend in Midlothian, Texas. There was an event going on at a bar in Midlothian, and I was asked to be there. And I showed up when my wife was doing the photography for the event. and it was for a really good cause. Serenity Village. It's actually Serenity Veterans Village

and they're looking to build houses for veterans who are homeless and need help and transition back into society. And the numbers are staggering for homeless veterans. So, you know, thanks to Minuteman watches and thanks to Optimus is here and all the other businesses that don't their time and or merchandise to this good cause.

Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun. Now, what I really wanted to talk about is that it was in Ellis County, Texas, okay? And in Ellis County, Texas, there is no mask mandate. Now, a few people had heard that they should probably wear a mask and were wearing a mask. But other than that, nobody was wearing a mask. Okay. This place was full of people, smoking,

drinking, no masks. It was amazing. It was like real life. You want to go back to normal? Go over to Ellis County in Texas. You'll be fine. Don't worry about it. You're back to normal.

And those of you that think that Texas is still closed, it ain't. It might be closed on paper. There may be mandates here or there, but there's plenty of places around that are not following those mandates. I guarantee you that. It's open.

Man, traffic is, is bumper to bumper. Stores are open and people are finally getting back out to normal. And I know it's, you know, maybe business isn't like it used to be. And I get it. But there are a few people want to get back to normal. And you're not going to get back to normal if one of those dinkleberries, you know, Joe Biden gets elected president of the United States.

I guarantee you that. that a guarantee that that is going to happen. Okay, so what else? Another thing that I have to talk to you about before we, I let you go today. Before I let you go or who? You're already hanging on. You're already here.

So the big news over the weekend. Seal Team 6 makes dramatic high risk rescue of American health hostage in Nigeria. Okay. And then a big deal about this. So we went in and we rescued a guy in Nigeria who, was from Niger. All right. So he's works and farms

on this, in this property in Niger. Okay. That's where he's, that's where he farms. And I put, quotation marks, parentheses around farms.

Okay. So apparently he was kidnapped. And they, and he was kidnapped for a few days. And he was taken. from his farm in Masolata, Niger. Okay. So the kidnappers demanded ransom from the man's father who didn't have it.

And they offered him a, you know, they offered some money, which wasn't enough. So they took him. All right. So he's an American citizen farming in Niger. And they took him to Nigeria. Now, they acknowledged that they use Americans or hostages and they sell. them to terrorist groups who then use them for, you know, propaganda. And okay, I understand that.

No problem. I get the story. I'm all with you. All right. According to all the reports, his kidnapping was terrorism-related. It was, you know, it wasn't really terrorism-related, but it was. And it was, you know, kidnapping for ransom. but they were looking to sell them to a terrorist group.

Okay. So he's an American citizen in Niger, gets taken hostage, then travels to Nigeria, which is right there. The city is not far from the border of Nigeria, and that's part of the problem of these people are getting taken hostage and then into another country. And it's between different governments. And they were happy, the United States,

and they were happy. with the working between Nigeria and Nigeria and the U.S. And it underscores our U.S. commitment to the safe return of all U.S. citizens taking captive. Okay, I got you. Good. I'm all glad with that. This is what I want to know.

I want to know why I think this is just something fishy going on. I want to know why we rescued this farmer with our American military, military, SEAL Team 6, we sent them in. We spent American money and risked American lives, American soldiers' lives, to rescue this farmer from Nigeria who farmed in Niger. And we killed off five of the people who took him hostage. There were six of them. I don't know if we've got the last one hanging by his toenails in Niger or Nigeria or we brought him back to Guantanamo or where he's at, right?

But he's somewhere that he don't want to be. I guarantee you that. He is somewhere he don't want to be. Now, this is kind of a, you know, I felt like I'm watching Jack Ryan on Amazon, you know, the same kind of thing when I'm reading the story. But I just, there's something else happening here, right? We're not sending in Seal Team 6 to rescue a guy in Nigeria

who is a farmer from Niger. I just, there's something else going on. Maybe it's just me. I got you. It's probably just me. But the whole weekend,

I keep hearing these reports, and we're not being told the whole story here. Now, I'm not a journalist, and I'm not wearing my mask at the State Department of Press briefings or the Department of Defense press briefings or even the White House press briefings.

But if I were, I would want to ask a few questions that may be outside of the norm rather than, aren't you happy that our SEAL Team 6 did such a great job rescuing an American citizen and saving them? Yeah. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. And I know that we feared that the gang would sell him to terrorists operating in the region.

Yeah, yeah, we would. But I just find it weird that we are, spending and wasting and not wasting. That's the wrong term. We're using and spending our hard-earned tax dollars and using our well-trained military members to go in and rescue a farmer from Niger who was taken hostage.

I just, there's something else there. Mark my words, there's something else there. And I just, I want to know what it is now. I don't want to wait. I don't want to hear about it. 10 years from now. I don't want to hear about it a year from now. I don't want to hear that the last guy that we didn't kill from the terrorist or from

the gang of six, the one guy that didn't get killed from SEAL Team 6, and I want to hear that we found him hung by his toenails in Niger and darn the luck. There's something else happening. Okay? Just mark my words. Just mark another chewing the fat markdown of words. Something else is going on here.
