The Babylon Bees Podcast.
Welcome to the Babylon Bee Podcast.
I'm Dan Coates.
With me, as always, is this guy.
Yeah, I'm always here with Dan.
Sorry, my name is Travis.
And this guy.
Hi, my name is Brandon.
I also am always here with Dan.
We never leave this room.
Yeah, and Dan's always the room and we will never leave.
It is, yeah, it's kind of like that Brie Larson movie where that kid grows up in a room.
Room, yeah.
Room.
The movie called Room, yes.
I haven't seen it, but I have seen The Room.
Yeah.
I have seen neither of those movies.
I just popular culture, you know.
Yeah.
It absorbs into your collective consciousness.
Anyways, what are we doing today?
We're talking about the room.
That's that's just room.
Have we even announced the podcast?
Yeah, this is the Babylon Bee podcast.
The only podcast that talks about the news.
Oh, we should talk about news.
And we've got lots of news today.
We also have some other stuff.
Our friend Joe Silva from Silva Shire Crafts sent us some really cool books.
I don't know if you can see that on the camera, but that is the Chronicles of Narnia.
That is beautiful.
He basically they do leather stuff.
So they take books and they rebind them and they put new fancy covers on them.
So this is the Chronicles of Narnia if you want to look at that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like goat skin.
That might be this.
I think this Bible is goat skin.
You're wrong.
So apparently I was wrong.
So they take, it might be, I don't know, but they take Bibles and books like C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.
It looks really nice.
They do really good work.
So this is a nice goat skin ESV compact Bible.
It feels like Esau.
Very nice and soft.
Yeah.
And they do like little engravings and or etchings or whatever on that.
So that's that's pretty cool too.
That does feel like Esau.
Nice and soft.
Yeah.
That's what, yeah.
So we got a Bible.
We've got the Chronicles of Narnia here.
This is a journal that they do.
So if you want to have a journal.
Yeah.
A lot of good options.
SilvashireCrafts.com.
So if you want quality ingredients in your books, go to Silvershire's.
I hear that Chronicles of Narnia is going to be missing from the office next week.
That's what I bet.
That's the rumor.
That's the rumor.
So I'm going to somehow go somewhere.
So don't be surprised when it happens.
Or killed by wild beasts, said Drinian.
That's my favorite thing.
So I just saw this.
I don't even know what this is.
It says in a hole, in a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.
So kind of whimsical.
Let's see.
They sent that to us?
Yes.
Or did a hobbit?
Somebody.
Are they hobbits?
I'm going to see what's in here.
Oh, cool.
They make little coasters.
Nice.
So these are like little hobbit doors.
Oh, that's cool.
So you can put your drinks on those.
I'll do that right now.
Yeah.
Those are much better.
I'll take the yellow one for reasons.
What else they got?
I will take the blue one.
They make bookmarks, it looks like, from scrap leather.
So they say, remember to pray, remember to serve, you know, different keychains.
So we're just going to give a shout out to Silvershire Crafts.
They're fans of ours, so we're fans of them.
So thanks, guys.
Keychains or earrings?
Why not both?
You could use it either way.
I'm not going to do that.
I think it might hurt.
But it's a salmon.
So these are really cool.
I like these a lot.
That was all we wanted to talk about on the podcast today.
So I think we're good.
Thank you for joining us.
Yeah.
Dun-dun-dun-dun.
Maybe now it's time to talk about the news.
Or we could talk about this cool shirt that I'm wearing.
Oh, what shirt are you?
So if you're like me and you're listening to the news lately and you're just going crazy, like you're listening to the Secret Service Stonewall Congress and you're just like, you thought you knew what happened to Trump's rally last week and this week you're like, I don't know what's going on.
Conspiracy theory, right?
Everyone's into conspiracy theories.
Everyone's certainly in a conspiracy theory mood right now, I think.
Like I'm not usually prone to conspiracy theories.
I'm fascinated by them, but I don't really buy into them.
Yeah, so experts, this is like the wind column, the experts and then the conspiracy theorists.
It just seems like if you just wait six months, the conspiracy theory ends up being true lately.
I don't know about all the time, but lately it seems that way.
Maybe not certain conspiracy theorists like Keith Olbermann, for instance.
Yeah.
What's his ongoing conspiracy theory right now?
So this is an update from last week where we had all those unhinged takes about the assassination.
So Keith Oberman's on Twitter or ex, excuse me, and he said this.
He said, a reminder that there is still, still no evidence Trump was hit by a bullet and still lots of evidence he's lying about it.
That's interesting.
So I'd like to see all this evidence.
Well, there's no evidence.
That's the problem.
He says there's no evidence that Trump was hit by a bullet and lots of evidence that he's lying about it.
Yeah, what?
At this point, like, does Keith Olbermann believe Keith Olbermann?
I mean, he probably does.
Is it just a shtick?
I think he's just absolutely mentally incompetent.
That kind of seems to be what happens to people who are habitual liars, that they begin to believe their own lies.
They go into the make-believe world.
And sometimes it's like a defense mechanism.
Like, if you've believed something for so long and overwhelming evidence to the contrary proves that it's incorrect, you can't just let go of 20 years of staunch belief at some times.
And so I think in some instances, some of these deranged lunatics, it's simply a self-preservation mechanism, possibly.
I don't know.
Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Well, I also heard that he suffered a brain injury.
That tracks.
Unlike myself, but that has kind of destroyed part of him.
So he was already someone with a voice, and then he had a brain injury, and then now he's a brain-injured person with a voice?
Possibly.
I can neither confirm nor deny because I forgot what I Googled.
As a member of the brain injury.
As a member of the green industry community.
That would be like a conspiracy that's more complex than like 9-11.
It's like, how do you pull off faking shooting Trump in the ear in front of a crowd full of people in front of a media that doesn't like Trump?
And they all run with that.
How does that conspiracy get off the ground?
That said, we're going to dive into some right-wing conspiracy theories later.
Oh, yeah.
That's going to be fun.
But before we get into that, how about we talk about the banger of the week?
Let's talk about the website for which we all are employed.
Banger of the week.
So the banger of the week this week is Jill Biden drops out of presidential race.
Oh, I get it.
I also get it.
Oh, good.
Do you get it?
No, but Joe Biden was president.
I don't get it.
No, that's a good one.
I really like that one.
And I guess.
And that's based off of the recent news.
Yeah, that Joe Biden ended his presidential campaign on Sunday, National Ice Cream Day.
But it's not really that much of a joke because we all know that Joe Biden just had to be completely strong-armed into this.
He didn't want to give up his unlimited power that he attained by becoming the Senate.
Well, he was telling us weeks ago that only an act of God would convince him otherwise.
That he's in the race.
He's the nominee.
That's it.
It's clear this is not a decision made by him, much as many decisions, including that, including his bowels, were not made by him.
I'm sorry, that was crass.
It's probably true, though.
I saw certain groups of more progressive-leaning evangelicals that were praising Biden's selflessness.
That, oh, he's so selfless.
He's such a servant.
He's stepping aside.
He's doing what's best for his party.
He's doing what's best for his country.
That's not.
And you think that the real story is that he had no other choice.
I think there would have been some sort of sacrificial act if he did this like two years ago.
Yeah.
But yeah, he's being forced out just days after yelling at a conference, I'm staying in, I'm going to win.
So yeah, I don't buy it.
Well, the problem with this story is that nobody has seen Joe Biden.
Where is he?
Like we last saw him on Friday.
We're recording this on Tuesday, so no one's seen him for, was that five days?
Six days now, I think.
And then he just puts this out on X. All it is is just a PDF or a picture of a document that's not on White House stationery.
All it is is just a typewritten statement, and then it has a signature at the bottom.
But I don't think that's his signature.
I think that's a different...
Some people have compared it to his signatures of the past, and they don't inherently believe that it is his signature.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well...
Well, also, it's oddly underlined.
Like, Biden is underlined, his last name, and that's not a thing he has done before that I'm aware of.
That's clearly not a J.
Well, yeah, that's a slash.
Slash R Biden.
It looks different.
The curve at the bottom of that line goes to the right instead of the left.
Oh, and because it goes to the right with a slash, that means that he's a zero code.
It's supposed to be an L.
It's Lo Bidas.
See, all the way at the end, that's clearly an S, not an N. You're right.
Low abides.
Low abides.
Mystery solved.
Yeah, so that's weird, right?
Is that going to be another tick on the conspiracy theory shirt?
Yeah, maybe.
Because he keeps putting out tweets.
He's still tweeting.
Yeah, but we also know that he doesn't tweet.
The Kamala campaign where he called into the event.
And what happened?
How did Kamala respond?
That's right.
So his appearance was Kamala having her first campaign event, and he calls in.
But then doesn't Kamala say something like, thanks, Joe.
I hear you on the call.
And you're like, wait, is it a recording?
It is so good to hear our president's voice.
Joe, I know you're still on the call.
Joe, I know you're still on the call.
I've shown people that clip without telling them in advance.
What is it?
Yeah, what the assumption is.
And they're like, did she just say recording?
What else could it be?
People are saying that she's saying recovery.
She corrects her.
Correct her recovery path.
She corrects herself to call.
Exactly.
So it's not whatever.
It's call.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It all tracks.
I'm now a conspiracy theorist.
I believe it.
Joe Biden is no longer among us.
Yeah, that's the theory that he's not even alive.
Yeah.
So this is yeah.
So on Monday, Lauren Bobert, is that how you say her name?
Bobert?
Bobert.
Bobert.
I don't know.
I don't know.
She was demanding proof of life by 5 p.m.
Like, Joe Biden, you must show yourself that you are alive.
And she retweeted Charlie Kirk, who had this interesting post on X, if somebody wants to read that.
Does anyone have a Charlie Kirk impression?
I do not.
I don't even know what he sounds like.
So I'll just go.
Well, I was going to do William Shatner, but that would take way too long because this is a wall of text.
Yeah.
So his tweet says, got a weird lead on a story that people should look into.
That's what he sounds like, right?
Yeah, he's Australian.
I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro.
The official story was that Joe Biden's trip was cut short last week due to COVID.
However, according to this source, U.S. Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets.
I can't take too long.
And to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical, which they began to do in earnest.
Then mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the U.S.SSES informed local Vegas PD that they were going to medivac POTUS to John Hopkins, which they presumed meant fly him back east, ASAP.
Apparently, the rumor mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly already dead.
Wow.
It's wild.
And then he goes on, I didn't think too much about this lead.
It seemed too wild to be true, but given that Joe Biden has been out of the public sight for days, so that's why he's sharing that.
So he's been out of the public eye for at least five days, and he made this momentous announcement.
I am not running for 2024 anymore.
Yeah.
Well, and he made that momentous announcement on Twitter in the suspicious way that you saw.
It's weird.
It's weird.
I would love it, though, if for some reason the Democratic officials had just gotten together and they're like, hey, how can we make right-wingers sound crazy right now?
Since they've been so right about so many things lately, how can we make them seem crazy?
And they hatched this conspiracy and Kamala did it on purpose, said in order to make conspiracy to make us conspiracy theorists.
And then they'll try to discredit us.
To discredit right-wingers as conspiracy theorists when all the conspiracy theories have been coming true lately.
Yeah.
So even though he was last seen on Friday deplaning in Delaware, maybe we'll see him tomorrow because he or an intern tweeted on his behalf, tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. Eastern, I will address the nation from the old office on what lies ahead and how I finish the job for the American people.
So be vigilant when you watch this.
Like check to see if it's a deep fake.
Check his earlobes, make sure they're real.
You know?
Yeah, make sure, check if there's a belly button.
Don't do that.
Yeah, his earlobes have changed over the years somehow.
That's another weird conspiracy.
It's like, is this the same person?
It could just be plastic surgery.
But it's also like, why do you care about your ears like that?
It's just weird.
They got hair plugs, right?
Does that change your earlobes?
It might.
I don't know.
Like, if they have to, like, change the tension of your scalp, I don't know.
You take skin from your earlobes and that's how it works.
I don't know.
They take your earlobes and they chemically turn it into hair.
Yeah.
So, I mean, obviously, it's easy to believe that he is dead already or comatose or something.
I don't want to believe that.
I don't think he actually is.
But if he was, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess I'm just begging my government to stop making me into a conspiracy theory.
Just post a video where he's holding a newspaper, something.
Just like an actual help me out.
Just help me out a little bit because it's just too much for me.
I can't take this.
Yeah, I mean, you photoshopped Lee Harvey Oswald to do it.
Why can't you Photoshop Biden to do it?
All that digital imagery we did for the moon landing?
And now they're just like, ah, he's in a basement somewhere.
It's weird.
Is there any conspiracy theory that you guys think has some credence to it that maybe it's true?
Like, I don't know, moon landing being fake or flat earth or- I think I do.
I can't think of any at the moment, but- How about you, Travis?
Well- Well, I'll tell you, I believe we landed on the moon.
I'm really not thinking that's a conspiracy.
I used to believe the official story with JFK, that's the one that's become more and more suspicious as time goes on.
Not so much that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't do it, but that maybe he didn't act alone and that there was a cover-up.
Because there's a lot of similarities actually with the current attempted assassination of Trump where, you know, just a lot of different coincidences aligning.
So, you know, like with JFK, his motorcade route was changed like last minute, supposedly.
And there's just a lot of different little things.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
So how would Lee Harvey Oswald know to line up on that street?
Well, it was still reported in the paper.
It wasn't like super last minute, but it was still redirected from an initial planned route.
And, you know, how they all converged on Lee Harvey Oswald when he was hiding in a movie theater and like they instantly knew where he was sort of thing.
Oh, I thought of something.
Like, what are fish sticks?
Like, where do they come from?
Well, like, because the official story is that they come from fish, right?
Have you ever seen any fish that look like a stick?
Whoa.
I mean, I've heard of stick bugs.
So, like, if there were bug sticks, that would make sense.
But fish sticks?
Seriously?
What are they made out of?
Who makes them?
Where did they come from?
I mean, they just, they take cod.
COD's the fish in fish sticks.
Okay.
So you think COD is real too?
You think COD exists?
Okay, I've...
Look at this guy.
My COD.
Can you prove the existence of COD?
Well, there must be, at first, you know, and no.
I've never seen COD before.
That's what I thought.
But wait, why would they say, oh, it's made of cod if there's no cod?
Exactly.
That's exactly.
Okay, so the thing is, the fish stick industry, they're feeding you.
It's just pure fluoride.
Like, they're just, it's mind control devices.
It's like, who doesn't like fish sticks?
Everyone likes fish sticks.
Why do they like it?
Why do you like fish sticks?
It's because you're told to like it.
Why are you told to like it?
And why do you believe that you like it?
It's because you've been eating those fish sticks, which are made out of fluoride, pure fluoride.
Is this perpetuated by the Jesuits because they want everyone to eat fish?
Have you guys ever heard about how the CIA, through National Endowment for the Arts, funded modern art?
And modern art is what's destroying our culture.
The CIA wants to destroy the good, the true, and the beautiful through horrific art.
I have not heard that, but that explains the state of Star Wars.
Whoa.
Does Kathleen Kennedy work for the CIA?
Was George Lucas taken out?
Has anyone seen George Lucas?
I've not seen George Lucas personally in at least five days, since at least Friday.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think he's alive.
We need a valid proof of life of George Lucas, ASAP, right now, with him holding up a paper with today's date.
Right?
Why isn't Congress getting up about this?
I don't care about the Secret Service anymore.
I care about George Lucas.
We're praying for you, George, wherever you are.
Please come back to us.
Yes.
George Floyd was a good person.
In other news, director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Stonewall Cheadle, calmed all of our fears and dispelled any and all conspiracy theories on Monday when she appeared before Congress.
Did you guys know this?
She appeared only after being subpoenaed in the interest of being transparent.
That's what I would do if I wanted to be transparent with information.
Yeah, yeah.
And she basically refused to answer almost any and all questions regarding what happened that day.
Isn't that wild?
That is wild.
So I understand one of her reasons was like, oh, this is an open public hearing and there's potentially sensitive information.
I can understand aspects of that because one of the questions was, who were the agents there?
I'm like, why do you need the names right now?
I get that.
But things like, oh, I don't even know why this wasn't in the perimeter, why this building wasn't in the perimeter.
I don't know.
Some of the things that are actually verifiable by public accounts we already have she would obfuscate as well.
She wouldn't even comment on it.
And the thing is, she's the director of the Secret Service.
She's not, it's not throwing.
It's not like the janitor.
It's not like Chanel.
Well, that too.
But I mean, if the janitor was like, ah, the director of the Secret Service is, oh, she's terrible at her job because of this and this, that would be essentially throwing someone under the bus.
But she's the head.
She's the one taking responsibility anyway, and she can't explain what happened.
I can't understand a certain element of, hey, we're still having the investigation.
There's certain things I can't tell you about.
But I would respect someone who's upfront about this I can tell you about, this I can't, this I can, this I can't.
This whole thing of where she's just on every question, even if it's just basic things that we all saw with our eyes on television, she wouldn't even answer basic things.
I think the best part was her referencing this nebulous timeline.
When people would ask about the timeline, she would reference a, I don't have a specific timeline.
I don't have the specific instance for that.
And was it Magic the Gathering who pressed her on that and said, what do you have?
Do you have any timeline?
And she said that she had a timeline without any specifics in it.
Like, what was that?
Just a list of times?
Or a list of things that happened?
Yeah.
Like, what good is that?
And the timeline says this happened at some time.
This event happened.
Well, there is something very significant about the passage of the second.
There is.
I've heard that.
And we've have to take that into consideration.
So can a timeline actually be accurate ever?
I don't know.
Who's to say?
Michael Crichton.
Well, peace be upon him.
So the chairman for this committee, Mr. Comer, said that you answered a lot more questions with an ABC reporter than you have with us in Congress.
And it seems like members from both sides were pretty mad at Kimberly Stonewall Cheadle.
They were, no, even AOC, I think, was saying you should resign.
Yeah, and I would not have expected that from her.
Play this mega compilation right now.
The official Babylon B highlight reel.
I have no doubt that the process is that I've implemented during my time year as director.
In addition to my nearly 30 years of experience in this agency, have position secret service to be stronger.
One of the things that you said, I believe, in the interview, that there wasn't an egg on the roof because it was a slope roof.
Is that normal?
And do you fear that that immediately creates an opportunity for future would be assassins to deliver a slandered roof?
First of all, how many shots did that potential assassin?
How many shots came out of the rail?
So again, I would hesitate to offer that information as the FBI is conducting an investigation.
Have we got the bullets from all the shots?
Again, that would be the responsibility of the FBI to collect that evidence.
Okay.
Do we have any correspondence from the shooter?
Has that been recovered from his phone, whatever?
Again, I would have to refer you to the FBI for details on that investigation.
I can speak to you in generalities.
No, no, no, I don't want to generate anything.
The answer is no.
You did not consider pausing the rally, correct?
The people that are in charge of protecting the president on that day would never bring the former president out if there was a threat that had been identified.
Well, they did, because we've now identified three points in the 20 minutes before the shooting that the threat emerged.
I mean, you could put R5 on the roof and kept somebody from getting up there.
So why wasn't that done?
The plan that was developed that day encompassed a non-related security mitigation.
So the notion of a report coming out in 60 days when the threat environment is so high in the United States, irrespective of party, is not acceptable.
What did the Technical Services Division determine was going to be the event perimeter?
I agree with AOC.
Other questions that we were asking?
I mean, you're sitting here today.
Come on, Director.
Everybody said this.
You knew you're going to be asked that question because it's been asked multiple times.
So this is an easy one.
What did they determine was going to be the event perimeter?
So you should know that.
I mean, this is not.
Yeah, wait till someone else tells me.
What was it?
Again, I don't want to speak the specifics of the event.
This is a specific.
I understand.
This is a specific that you ought to know.
As someone who said the buck stops with me, I'm going to stay in my job.
I'm going to give the answers to the American people, and I know what happened, except for you're not going to tell us.
You're not going to tell the American people.
And you yourself said in an interview that that foments, this notion of conspiracy theories, guess what?
When you sit here and repeatedly tell people, hey, I have to wait, as it frustrated everybody on this committee, guess what?
It undermines your credibility and whether you're really going to get to it.
So I'm going to ask you again, what did the Technical Service Division determine was going to be the event perimeter?
We are still gathering reports.
We are in Director Cheadle.
The American people are watching, and they're wondering if there are any questions you can answer honestly today.
So, Director Chio, I have a series of questions, very specific questions.
I want very specific answers.
Most of my questions are going to demand a yes or no answer.
Do you understand?
I do.
Okay, my first question.
Both sides of the aisle today have asked for your resignation.
Would you like to use my five minutes to draft your resignation letter?
Yes or no?
Did you say the fact that we had to issue a subpoena to get you to show up today as being transparent?
Yes or no?
I have always been yes or no.
I didn't want to ask the question.
We had to issue a subpoena to get you to show up today.
That is not transparent, by the way.
Would you say leaking your opening statement to punch full news, Politico's playbook, and Washington Post several hours before you sent it to this committee as being political?
Yes or no?
I have no idea how my statement got out.
Well, you provide all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we asked them to lift a TTS or no.
That is a no.
Flowerbed.
You're just being completely dishonest.
These are important questions that the American people want to answer to, and you're just dodging and talking around in generalities.
And we had this opinion to be here.
You won't even answer the question.
We asked you repeatedly to answer our questions.
This isn't hard.
These are not hard questions.
How many Secret Service personnel have been required to take a refresher course on how not to let people shoot Donald Trump?
Our personnel are currently operational.
We are examining the facts of this investigation, and we will make the changes now.
What time did Lawing Force become aware that there was an individual on the roof with Clearland aside, President Trump?
I am still verifying timelines.
Of course, nine days in, you have no answers.
How many minutes by between the time Lawing Force was on top photos of crooks and the shooting?
How many minutes?
I am still verifying.
57 minutes.
Do you think it's a problem that the Americans' trust in the federal government is in all time low?
Do you think that's a problem?
That national prayer breakfast lady really hammered her on that.
Yeah, that's right.
That's her, huh?
I'm not a huge fan of when Congress people, when they make these intentionally trying to go viral moments where they're not asking a serious question.
I believe that bad actors or people that are intentionally withholding information from the public and from the government, I believe there are questions you can ask them that can hang themselves.
I don't think you need to have your little shining moment on a hill and say, oh, look how bad I got them.
I believe their actions are bad enough, and we should let that speak for itself.
You know, I agree with that.
In this hearing, there was a lot of political grandstanding.
Democrats would, before they ask questions, talk about gun violence.
Oh, no, we got to get rid of these AR-15s.
I mean, Nancy Mace brought up some good points when she said regarding the timeline and then hammering around the specifics that she knows because it's a matter of public record versus what Kimberly Cheadle was with stonewalling, essentially.
But like I said, just hang around that.
Don't try to look good.
I hate the forced yes or no questions.
Just let them answer the question, however they answer it, and then call them out on it because this is the sort of thing that Kamala Harris would do when she served on committees.
And it was the most irritating thing.
And I would like Republicans not to be as irritating as the left.
I think there's a tricky situation in the sense that when they only have a certain amount of time to ask their questions, you want it to be as forthright as possible and for them not to go on their five-minute long rant about that they've already pre-planned with their talking points that avoids any controversial topics whatsoever.
But I don't know.
Maybe there's a better way to do that.
I do think I like, I do want people to answer yes or no questions in certain instances, but I think there's a way to do that and you don't have to be so showy about it.
I agree.
It was very showy the way she presented it.
I don't know.
It was lame.
That's the official Babylon B response.
And I'm not on Kimberly Cheadle's side at all.
No, no.
I mean, I think she needs to, as of today, she did resign.
Yep.
We found out earlier today.
Well, I don't think she should have resigned.
I think she should have been fired.
And I think that when you come into a hearing like that, you need to have some timeline of events that you're able to share.
The fact that she couldn't share anything from that day, it seemed like, like any of the details.
They were basically begging her, like, hey, there's conspiracy theories out there.
We want to put these to bed.
Please tell us, was there a second shooter?
Was there a person on the water tower?
Was there, you know, all these things that are flying around the internet.
And she's like, well, I'm going to have to defer you to the FBI's investigation.
Blah, blah, blah.
Why are you here?
Why don't you just, or about the roof, too?
Like the guy getting up on the roof.
And she's like, why was nobody on the roof?
And they go like, well, it was on Overwatch.
Meaning like they're watching the roof.
And it's like, well, clearly that was not true because someone got up there and shot the president.
So it's like these answers that don't make sense or all these generalities and deferring to other things.
It's.
Yeah.
You know, there were people calling for her resignation before the hearing.
And, you know, I wanted to give her at least a little bit benefit of the doubt because tragic things happen.
Right.
And if she was responsible enough to go, okay, these are the problems.
We need to fix it.
Someone learning from their mistakes and bettering themselves and therefore the department.
Yeah.
That goes a long way, I think, rather than putting someone new in there who will also eventually make a mistake because they haven't learned those issues.
But the way she just stonewalled people, because that's her name, Stonewall Cheadle, it was embarrassing, is what it was.
It was unfortunate.
And yeah, I'm glad she's gone now.
I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist.
I want someone from the government to say, here is the timeline of events.
Here's the official story of what happened.
And then, yeah, you can question that because this is America.
That's our right to question that.
But at least give us like a version of the events.
Like, don't just get up there and be like, oh, I don't know.
I can't tell you that.
Someone else can tell you that.
It's just like, we need to know.
Right.
And yeah, so she was saying that she's expecting the final report on the investigation to be done in 60 days.
What are they doing over there?
Why is it taking so long?
I agree that certain details can be obfuscated as long as they actually serve the vested safety and interest of the American people.
But barring that, there are many questions that she didn't answer just for the sake of not answering them.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, like hypothetically, if she did find phone communications, but they were investigating this other person, they didn't want in a public forum for that person to potentially be alerted.
I totally understand that.
But as Brandon said, there are things we already know in the public, and she's acting like we don't know anything.
And now we have Red Lobster Mail from Levi.
So Levi wrote to us and said, we were in Palm Springs for a vacation one winter, and after a full day of vacationing, the sun was going down and we were all getting hungry.
Lo and behold, a nearby red lobster appeared and its warm indoor lighting beckoned us to enjoy seafood.
As we perused the menu, my brother, bless his heart, decided it would be very funny to order lobster bisque as an homage to the iconic Studio C sketch aptly titled Lobster Bisque.
I don't remember what I got, but it doesn't matter because my brother came to learn the truth about lobster bisque.
It's kind of gross.
We never went to Red Lobster again, but I will forever cherish the memory of being there, but not the memory of the food because I don't remember what I ate.
Sorry.
And this has been Red Lobster Mail from Levi.
Oh, from the tribe of Levi.
The entire tribe of Levi ate at Red Lobster.
Yeah, well, you've heard it here first.
Which would be against the law.
Oh, yeah.
You can't eat shellfish.
So that's why the tribe of Levi is no longer among us.
The missing tribe.
The missing tribe.
Well, stay tuned for the subscriber lounge where we'll go over some other news and go over some subscriber headlines, right?
Yeah, we're going to talk about an article from Politico where they kind of tried to connect JD Vance's political philosophy to Lord of the Rings and how that might be bad.
I mean, that does sound pretty bad.
Yeah, and we'll talk about subscriber headlines submitted by our subscribers and more.
Yeah, good.
I look forward to it.
We have just found out that Biden was spotted at the airport on Tuesday.
