And welcome to the program on your Thursday. Thursday. Thursday afternoon. And the reason I say it like this because I am still finding it hard to believe that it is only a Thursday. This has been the longest week. Holy mackerel. This week has I mean, it feels like it's been a month this week. I don't know if it was the heat. I'm pretty sure that had a heck of a lot to do. It feels a little bit better out there today, but, I mean, it's just it's just one of those weeks where you go, holy cow. We had to found out we had to have some tree work done at the house. That's gonna cost a boatload of money. Then I had a cracked oil pan in my car. And I also found out something about cracked oil pans. It doesn't matter how big the crack is. I mean, this isn't a Hunter Biden deal where you get, you know, if you get a big crack as it's this much money. If you get a little bit of crack, is it that much money? It's not one of those deals with Hunter Biden. This, it doesn't matter what size crack you got. It doesn't matter what size crack you got in your oil pan. It's the same price. You thing could've just cracked in half, and it would've been the same price. Right? Right? It just boom. Gun. Done. Done. So it could be eight inches or eight millimeters. Still gonna be the same price. So, anyway, that's been a lot of fun. Anyway and then we had, of course, the, the the bombing of of Iran, and you had all of these people in the over in the mainstream media, and they were like, well, first of all, they were saying, well, you know, Charlie, there's no proof for there's no proof that Iran has the nuclear weapons over there. So then Trump goes in and he bombs all these nuclear weapon sites, and now they're like, I don't even think that did any good. I don't even think that stopped their nuclear weapons program, Murry. Oh, really? I thought you said there wasn't one. And there are still people out there that are saying ridiculous stuff like that. So today, Pete Hegseth I mean, the the Pete Hegseth, president Trump, they'd had it. They'd had it with all of this BS. And Pete Heggs had today was a I hey. You know what? He it was he really let Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin had it, and rightfully so. Let's take a listen to this. Pylaine uranium. Do you have certainty that all the highly enriched uranium was inside the Forteaux Mountain or some of it? Because there were satellite photos that showed more than a dozen trucks there two days in advance. Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved? Of course, we're watching every single aspect. But, Jennifer, you've been about the worst. The more the the one who misrepresents the most intentionally. I I don't what what the president says.
