I have never been, I think, more excited to talk to you.
People always say that, I'm excited.
Just like when they, do you ever watch a food video and they go, I'm so excited.
We're going to have, they call it flan.
And I'm so excited.
You're excited?
They use the word excited.
I'm so excited.
You know, it's awesome or hilarious.
But I'm really excited because there's so much I want to tell you.
And this is so much of a great tutorial as to what's going on this morning.
So much as to what's really critical and how I don't even know where to start.
But the first thing we're going to start is to say, thank you for being here and all that, but let's get down to brass tacks.
Two things I want to do.
I want to talk about the latest as to who was actually flying.
This is the best question.
Who was responsible for flying, listen to me, my driving motion here on my hands, flying the Blackhawk.
They kept saying, Who was the pilot?
Well, she was on board.
Well, what's the name of the pilot?
Well, his name was, well, was he the pilot?
Well, she was working with Biden.
Okay, fine.
Was she the pilot?
Who flew it in?
Well, was she a co-pilot?
Who was the pilot?
Who was responsible?
Who was?
This is the question.
This is the issue.
Before we get into the stuff about who she was, was she this, was she the DEI, who was flying the actual Blackhawk?
Who?
Flying it.
Was it a collective thing?
All the people, what did they do?
Well, I'm the weapons officer.
Who did what?
It is the vaguest thing I've ever seen.
And the number one question.
And yesterday I was saying, this guy is so great.
There's these pilots who do these shows.
One guy sits there and he always wears his white shirt with the epaulets from some airline.
I don't think a regular airline commercial guy.
Maybe he flies for FedEx or whatever.
I don't know.
I don't think they want, like, UP, actual American Airlines folks to be on YouTube saying, and here's turbulence, you know, no, no, no, no.
Because that is, that would be my rule.
Do not do this.
But this guy doesn't say anything about the actual questions.
Why?
Because people don't understand critical thinking.
Issue analysis.
I don't care if the guy in the back...
Was a communist?
Who's responsible for flying it?
We know what happened.
Next, how do you know it was not deliberate?
I don't know.
Did they say anything?
This is for you.
As-salamu alaykum.
Viva la France.
Remember the Alamo?
Did anybody say anything?
I don't know.
Nobody's asking these questions.
Because nobody seems to understand the critical thinking.
What's the critical question to ask?
There was another fellow, too, who is a jadrool, along with Andrew Tate and all these other people, Frank Luntz, Fred Luntz, doesn't Luntz sound like the name, that a certain bodily What product makes when it hits the water?
Bunce?
Doesn't it sound like it?
Or like a skating move, like a double lunce or something.
In any event.
So there's this one guy, just as an example, it has nothing to do with this.
And I was going to play it for you, but I don't because YouTube might not like it.
He thinks that somehow this tragedy in Philadelphia Was a part of a, you got it, some kind of a trafficking thing.
Just on his own, pulled it out of his arse, and I'm thinking, dear God.
And I'm the conspiracy theorist?
This is just stupid.
I heard somebody say, you know what, I think she probably disappeared.
Who?
The woman.
Who?
They didn't even tell us her name.
We're going to talk about that one.
We're going to talk about it.
We're going to talk about a lot of great, great, great, great stuff.
Important things.
Critical things.
First of all, let me remind you, my friends, that we are here.
We thank you that you are here.
God bless you for being here.
We're so happy that you are a part of this thing that we are in.
Make sure you are subscribed to Lionel Nation.
But first, my friend, disaster doesn't knock.
It kicks the door down when you least expect it.
And when it hits the fan, and trust me, it will, food is the first thing to disappear.
Now the question is this.
Will you be prepared or will you be scrambling like everybody else?
Okay?
Now think about what I'm saying.
This is no exaggeration.
I'm here to help.
I'm here to give you the honest truth.
No one's coming to save you.
No one's going to help you.
No one's going to be there.
The shelves at your local store are going to be emptied within hours.
And trucks that should be delivering food will be stuck miles away.
You'll be left standing in endless lines, hoping for scraps.
But there's something you can do right now.
There's a way to stop this nightmare before it stops.

Let's just have some fun.
Let's start off with just some fun stuff.
I love watching idiots.
It's what I do.
Idiots.
And most of all, people who don't know they're idiots.
Yesterday, apparently, the DNC, who does not get it, has, I guess, ostensibly some type of a meeting and they pick somebody for whatever way.
I don't know.
Good luck.
Knock yourself out.
The idiots.
They don't know that they're scaring people by virtue of this.
This is the most important thing in the world.
It's like if I was at DNC and I brought up a bunch of people with purple hair and nose studs, I'd say, no, no, no, no, no, no!
What's wrong with that?
You look like a freak!
I what?
You're a freak!
I am?
Yes!
But because you're a Democrat and you're not, you know, it would be something like that.
They don't know that they don't fit in.
Watch this Jadroul trying to, you're going to love this, then we'll get to the helicopter.
Listen to this carefully.
Ready for this?
Okay.
This man has no clue and they picked him.
He had one job.
Explain gender something or other.
Watch this.
We're finding out ways to expedite this.
Because of our gender balance provisions on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot.
Hey!
Okay?
Sure.
So on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot.
Okay.
That's good.
Two candidates receive...
He didn't know anything.
What the hell am I doing?
I'm going to turn the hell into...
Clarify this last one.
Look at this.
He's got the D on this.
He said, I don't know what I'm doing.
Look at this.
He's walking around.
I don't know.
I don't know what he's talking about.
You are in this next ballot.
You have two votes.
I got two votes.
As the chair has said.
That's right.
You may vote for two males, two females.
Two females.
Two of any gender.
You can't do that.
No, you can't do that.
You've got to balance.
You can vote for one of any gender.
You can vote for one time.
Or non-binary.
Non-binary.
It is late.
It is late.
See, you can vote for the dude that says he, like, if it was a man.
And the dude, no.
Hang on.
If it's too non-tertiary in the libidinal binary.
The contumacity of the duality.
Hang on a minute.
Helen, can you have me on here?
What the?
Love it.
Love it.
That is your leadership.
Keep it up.
Yes!
I want that man to...
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
And that isn't DEI.
That's just stupid.
Now, it gets even better.
I swear to God, this is not a parody.
You're going to think, this is a parody.
Wait.
If the dude...
Hang on now.
If the dude...
Wait.
Wait.
If...
Shit.
If...
Helen...
Your name's not Helen?
Who are you then?
Alright, here we go.
Watch this.
And with the opening statements, each candidate...
This is Jonathan Capehart.
Hi, how are you?
I'm Jonathan Capehart.
Hi.
I'm trying desperately to maintain my position on MSDNC, which will be closing, going to a dial tone very, very soon.
To my left would be Jen Pisaki, herself wondering, she's going to be taking her...
Peppermint patty routine on the road.
Later on for some type of maybe holiday on ice.
To my right, I believe this alopecia subject.
I think this is Ayanna Pressley.
I don't know.
I frankly don't know.
To the bottom right is, of course, our mainstay.
The American Sign Language person.
Why we don't just have, oh, I don't know, you know, closed caption or something along those lines.
But no, we're still doing this.
And of course, she has to be very energetic to pair her level of freneticism With my own degree of excitement.
Let me proceed.
We'll have 30 seconds and we'll start with Dr. Quintessa Hathaway.
Dr. Quintessa!
Quintessa!
Oh my god!
Then we'll have Dr. Lashandra Pennington, Kamisha Johnson, LaCoya, Sequoia, and finally Dr. Lasagna Johnson.
We'll be here.
Shytheid Pemberton, Lavandra, LaChandra, Calandra.
Calandra's a wonderful bakery on Bloomfield Avenue in Caldwell, New Jersey, across from the Grover Cleveland house.
Following that, Lavitha, Shanitha, and Partitha will be joining us.
Similarities to these names that you will hear.
These are neologisms.
They are not French.
They are not Spanish.
They are made up on the spot.
Last year we had Dr. Placenta Faraway, Vagina Etherington, and Famali Jackson.
Now, without further ado, Dr. Quintessa, whatever her name is.
Good evening, everyone.
It is my desire to be the Knicks.
It is my desire.
Ladies and gentlemen, right off the bat, I want you to notice something throughout the event.
I want you to notice, do you notice anything in particular?
I will leave it at that.
Notice the Cardi B lashes?
Absolutely mandatory.
You must have these things that, like Flossie, you know, like, and if every...
Remember, and if you ever put your head out of a car, you will be beaten to death by them.
Here we go.
DNC chair, and I just want to give you all a little bit of something that's been on my heart here over the last couple of days.
You fight on, you fight on, you fight on, you fight on, when your government is doing you wrong.
Yes, sir.
When you find yourself and you don't know what to say, you just put words together this way and you talk a bunch of shit and you hope that you don't quit because you have no freaking idea what you're doing.
Praise God!
Praise God!
How am I doing up here?
Praise God!
I don't have a speech or a thought, but I can do this phony gospel stuff all day.
Yeah!
Dr. Quintessa Hathaway.
Thank you, Dr. Hathaway.
Dr. Hathaway.
She is a paleontologist.
Oh, she's not?
She's not a medical doctor?
She's not a medical doctor.
Okay.
What are you going to do?
Yes, what are you going to do?
I'm going to get rid of this.
No, you know what?
No.
I like the woman who every now and then I'll look over and say, what is she doing?
What does she do during a song?
In any event, my friends.
And we'll begin with the opening statements.
Each candidate will have 30 seconds and we'll start with Dr. Quintessa Hathaway.
I'm sorry.
Good evening, everyone.
My desire.
Of something that's been on my heart here over the...
Well, that was it.
Okay, okay.
Now, let's move to some other ones, too.
Ready for this?
You thought that was good?
Mm-hmm.
Now, is a non-binary...
Hang on now.
Helen, did we ever figure out, is it the non-binary?
Can I vote for the binary?
And what exactly?
Is the binary.
Can I have a witness?
Praise God in the name of Jesus.
Hang on, here we go.
Democrats, hey, I am speaking.
Hey, I am speaking.
She, look behind, ooh, look at this.
This is a pluripotentiary Johnson who is speaking.
She's going to do it now.
Ready?
Because this is...
Okay?
Watch this.
And I would love your attention.
There is a black woman at this podium and I deserve your attention like the 11 people who went before me.
There is a black woman at this podium.
See?
Always race.
Always, always, always race.
Always.
Remember, race, race, race.
Yes, I am speaking.
Yes.
Democrats, look up here.
Look at me.
Three strong black women standing before you.
Three black women.
Three black women severely overweight with a collective BMI of about 1,200.
Our cholesterols collectively, if we were to assign them to either Cougarands or Bitcoin, we could solve the national debt.
I, as you see, elected not to dress.
Because I was too busy in the second shift of my factory work at a Pontiac factory in Flint, Michigan.
I was unaware of this.
I did not spend a lot of time on my coiffure, but I nonetheless demand that you pay attention to black women.
Let me emphasize this.
We are black.
And that is apparently a theme here, a thematic reference here.
Who rather than just grabbing a chair, ran for chair.
Get it?
Get it?
See, I played a play, play.
See, run a chair.
Sit on a chair.
I ran for the chair.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, wow.
Okay, here we go.
This is Artie Blanco.
Now, I did not write this.
Definitely not English.
I did not write this.
I did not write this.
Ladies and gentlemen, please.
I did not write this.
Grabbing a chair.
Ran for chair.
Get off!
She says, I want a lot of potatoes.
I want a lot of Papa's potato.
So I want poor baby Papa Frita, Papa Reina, Papa Suave, which is a way of saying like an easy job.
Now listen.
I love you.
I love you potatoes.
I love the potatoes and thank you.
She's thanking the potatoes and she wants potatoes.
My name is Artie Blanco, Freddie Blanco's daughter.
Freddie Blanco's daughter, okay.
Vote for me for vice chair.
Look at this room, y 'all.
Look at this.
Truly, take it in.
Do you notice anything?
I know you're going to say I'm mean and I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
But does this look like the most unhealthy group of people you have ever seen?
Dear God!
I'm telling you something.
We have, if you don't think this is an epidemic of some sort, you are not paying attention.
My God!
These women, oh my God!
And it's not just them.
It's not meant to be me.
It's not just them.
It's everywhere.
This is serious stuff.
This is Shasti.
Shasti.
Wasn't that a drink?
It was a Shasta.
Shasti.
Conrad.
This is the Democratic Party.
Okay.
We are our strongest when we stand together.
We are in a time in this country.
Uh-oh, look at that.
I'm just saying.
When our democracy and our rights are under attack.
They never tell you exactly how.
By the way, we're not a democracy, we're a republic, but that's okay.
We're at a time where black and brown people, women, and other minorities are being blamed for everything that's wrong with this country.
Now, have you ever blamed black women for what's wrong?
Seriously.
And she had to read this.
She didn't commit this to, you know, patellar memory.
Oh, my God.
What the hell is...
Whoa.
It's interesting.
Listen, I don't want to be a tonsorial.
That hairline starts in the back of her head.
What does this remind me of?
I don't know what.
But imagine you just tuned in and you say, that's it.
That's it for me.
Stronger and more inclusive Democratic Party.
Inclusive, but they keep saying black every five seconds.
Does that sound inclusive to you?
I guess if you're not.
And by the way, you know who won eventually?
Not the black folks.
Good afternoon!
All right.
Okay.
Notice anything?
This is Wakina, Wakina, Clanton, Wakina.
Let me say something.
Okay.
Who is this guy behind her?
This guy just figured, I'm going to stand right behind that camera.
And they're going to figure out who is this guy.
And they're going to say, I don't know.
In several days, we've seen what happens when we have the wrong people in powerful places.
Boy, that's for sure.
And so today...
Oh, no.
Look at this.
Look at this.
I asked.
No.
Don't tell me she said ask.
No.
And so today, I asked for your support.
She said ask?
Because in a time of crisis, leadership matters.
Oh my, here we go.
People are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I've heard that before.
We are sick and tired of being the...
This is Quintessa Hathaway.
...and the first one fired.
We are sick and tired of the...
Last one hired in the first...
I guess she never heard about DEI.
Did she hear about DEI?
I don't think she heard about DEI.
Did you hear that?
Now it's a binary...
Okay, he's still working on the binary.
I think she just got frozen.
Well, if you had those caterpillars on your eyelids, it'd be tough to keep it.
I'm sorry, one more time.
She just stops.
Okay.
I've spent the last 15 years fighting for the American people, all 340 million of them.
He has to do to organize, show up, and win.
And that is why I'm asking the people who are still with me.
Okay.
There you go.
Ladies and gentlemen, doomed.
Doomed.
Doomed.
What if somebody came up and said, Good morning.
My name is Reverend Latrell Johnson.
And they said, Wait a minute.
Excuse me.
As you know, I come here today to ask you a question.
Many of the time.
Do you think somebody says, excuse me, you don't sound like that.
How do you know I don't sound like that?
Latrell Johnson.
I keep changing it.
My name, Spirell Johnson.
Spirell, I changed it.
Spirellina Angelina Johnson is my name.
I'm a Reverend.
I'm Reverend Johnson.
Call me Reverend.
You're right, Reverend.
You're most holy right.
Praise God, Reverend.
And I'm here to tell you, to ask you a question.
Many times, people remember the words of Dr. King, who said, no, not Dr. King, Dr. JFK, JFK do.
He said, ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
Because homeboy knows God's about the mama crib.
He put a nine hour on the hole, another but a pita bear.
You may laugh at that, and that's fine.
That's up to you, but there's nothing funny.
Coming up, the most frightening thing you'll ever see, and that is a man by the name of Adam Schiff.
But first, this.
Listen to this.
New reports reveal that the average person has $8,674 in credit card debt, plus the total average consumer debt is a shocking...
$104,215 between mortgages, auto loans, student loans, credit cards, and unsecured loans.
Unfortunately, without outside assistance, many will continue digging themselves deeper and deeper into the hole of debt.
I've advised and counseled friends and clients for years who want to take back control of individual debt About this secret weapon that has helped so many consolidate everything owed into one affordable monthly payment.
They even helped negotiate a settlement agreement that will allow you to pay less than the total balance.
Listen.
They settled over $275 million in debt.
And they've helped people become debt-free in an average of 28 months.
I've had such an incredible experience referring clients and friends that I wanted to partner with them here and introduce their services to you, my loyal Lionel Nation family.
If you want a helping hand to get out of debt, I absolutely, positively, and strenuously recommend booking a free consultation now by going to NoDebtWithLionel.com.
Look at the address.
Once again, that's NoDebtWithLionel.com.
Use the link I've provided under the title.
Listen to me.
You can take control and learn how to get out of debt now.
My name is Charlitha Murrell, and I'm here to say that many times people sometimes will not all right.
But it's nothing but a lot of right.
It's nothing but a little bit of pity to be here.
Thank you very much.
The most important, the most despicable human being who's ever lived.
It's a man who...
Let me say something first.
Raul Rodriguez started with, what is the purpose of not revealing her name?
This is the pilot.
We will get to that very much.
Raul, thank you for that.
Pilgrim Media says, we dig your Ebonics.
It's not Ebonics.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's your dating yourself.
Paul Rodriguez, Raul Rodriguez says, you can...
You can voted for a man with a little something.
You can voted for a woman with a little something.
Maybe that was said.
I have no idea.
Xander said, I just realized I turned into the Uncle Al Comedy Hour.
Thank you so much, Xander.
I had to do a second donation on that Uncle Al.
Thank you so much for that.
Clapton says, bro, you are hilarious this morning.
I love it.
Thank you, Clapton.
Appreciate it.
Edie Crowley says they have an axe to grind.
That is very true.
And SleuthChick says, Lionel, you have been a part of my life since 2019.
Making a more sane world for me.
Gut giggles this Sunday morning for sure.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
I have had many, many, many...
It's not Ebon.
I had, being in criminal law, And doing a lot of court-appointed stuff, I had a number of clients who years ago had a hard time with the notion of no contest.
No contest is a very interesting thing.
Because no contest is such that if, for whatever reason, you do not make it clear to the judge that you mean no contest, no law contender, the judge has to reject the plea and set up for trial.
Take it as a non-guilty.
So you've got to be very careful.
So I would always say, no contest.
Don't, you know, I plead guilty with an explanation.
No!
No!
Don't!
Anything that's unequivocal.
So I would hear sometimes, one of my favorites was, and we would say, no contest, right?
You got it?
You're going to write this down?
I don't have to write this down.
No, you've got to write this down now.
Because if you don't, the judge is going to reject it.
Set it for not guilty.
Set it for trial.
We don't want to go to trial.
Write it down.
I'm not going to write it down.
So one time I had somebody who said, Good morning, my honor.
I like that.
Oh, that's interesting.
I plead.
No context.
It's like, oh, damn it.
Your honor, it's a non-contextual plea.
You see?
Well, then the context of the plea, guilty, not guilty, no context, this, well, this transcended it.
And I heard one of my favorites was, this is a version of the Fifth Amendment, he goes, Yana, I plead, no comment.
So it's great.
This is the same guy who said, are we going to the arrangement?
I said, well, that's good.
Arrange, okay, arrangement, maybe you're right.
But the best one ever.
Was, Your Honor, I plead no conscience.
Everybody's just howling.
Well, there you go.
There you go with that one.
Okay, my friend.
But this is the most despicable person who has ever lived, who came up with this Russian collusion stuff, which went nowhere, and he became the senator of California.
I would say that there is ample evidence, and indeed there is, of collusion of people in the Trump campaign with the Russians.
There's clear evidence on the issue of collusion.
There is ample evidence of collusion in plain sight.
Plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy.
And there is significant evidence of collusion.
The president is someone who seems pathologically incapable of telling the truth.
This president or people around him may be compromised by a foreign policy.
Have you seen, do you have direct evidence of collusion with Russia?
There is direct evidence.
There is abundant evidence of collusion.
Persistent allegations.
The Russians have been laundering money through the Trump Organization.
He continues to believe Russian propaganda.
That makes him dangerous to our country.
Donald Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians.
There is ample evidence of collusion.
There is significant evidence, much of it in the public domain, on the issue of collusion.
Certainly say with confidence that there is significant evidence of collusion.
Ample evidence in the public domain on the issue of collusion.
There is circumstantial evidence of collusion.
There is direct evidence, I think, of dissatisfaction.
Notice how he's becoming rather attenuated, as he said.
This is Scott Pelley.
Scott Pelley sounds like he's constipated at all times.
I'm Scott Pelley.
Welcome to CBS News.
And now, Sharkeetha Johnson will be speaking to you now.
See, I need to make these names up all the time.
Charlitha, Kalisha, Shalandra, Markeisha.
You know, you just...
I wanted to have three...
You know those roulette wheels?
And you can have...
How many syllables do you want?
Three?
Three.
And you have three concentrates.
Me.
Kamisha.
Kamila.
Karila.
Kasila.
You know, Levan.
Siobhan.
Lachandra.
And then Antoine, but then with an accent or an umlaut or a schwa.
You know what I mean?
That's sort of...
You see, non-binary.
Excuse me.
My next point is, who flew the damn plane?
Now, let's talk about this.
This is the most important story.
I've been asking, let me ask you, who flew...
The plane.
Or the helicopter.
The helo.
Who was it?
Who was the pilot who did this?
Not who was in it.
Not who worked with the Biden administration.
Please tell me.
Anybody tell me?
I don't know.
They won't tell us.
So this mid-air collision between the Black Hawk helo.
Notice I say helo.
Because that's the way the cool people say it.
That's a Don Shipley, Sean Ryan.
You know, it's a helo.
You know, I was with flying a helo.
I was SEAL Team 6. Team 6, Team 1. I was with EOD.
I was doing recon.
I was doing recon.
Anyway.
So we're talking about this.
So we had this helo collision and the American Airlines passenger.
By the way, there's a picture I have on my ex account at Lionel Media.
This little girl, and I guess her friend, looking so sweet, so cute, never to be seen again.
We have to have the answers.
Do you hear me?
All that fun and stuff aside, we have to find the answers.
Who was flying?
I don't care whether they were for Biden or Trump or anybody.
I don't care.
Who did it?
What's going on here?
So let me give you an update here.
There has been a trail of devastation, unanswered questions, and if you don't sign up for my newsletters, one coming up right after this gives you kind of a composite of everything we're talking about right now, this is the best kind of a collection of all the stories, because some won't tell you.
It's the weirdest thing.
So this tragedy took 67 people aboard both aircraft.
It's become a focal point.
Everybody's talking about this.
And particularly regarding the identity of the female pilot.
I guess.
Is it the female pilot?
Are they all called pilots?
I don't know.
But the first thing they do is say, we're not going to tell you why it's a woman.
Wait a minute.
This is how crazy I am.
Are they doing it to deliberately cause problems?
To make you wonder?
I don't understand.
It's the craziest thing in the world.
But the broader implications of what we're asking is, what about the policies and military operations?
Do they know what they're doing?
Now, this is a accounting, if you will, addressing the key aspects of what we're doing.
Critically examining the available information while maintaining, I hope, some degree of objectivity and, well, You can argue with her subjective.
First, the identity of the pilot.
Okay, that's my first question.
The female pilot, or a pilot aboard, the Black Hawk helicopter, has been identified as Captain Rebecca Lobach, L-O-B-A-C-H, a 28-year-old aviation officer with approximately 500 hours of flight experience.
Lobach, who joined the military in 2019, was described as a dedicated and capable soldier with aspirations of one day becoming a doctor.
Her family initially requested that her name be withheld from public release.
The question is why?
And this decision, as you understand, that the Army honored at first, citing respect for their privacy during a time of immense grief.
Wait a minute!
We're not talking about something.
This is a little bit different.
This withholding of the identity, while unusual in military protocol, was defended by such luminaries as Senator Tammy Duckworth, herself a former Black Hawk pilot, who emphasized the importance of respecting the family's wishes.
She's a Democrat.
Okay, I'm just saying.
I don't know about this.
Now, Lobox, I guess I'm pronouncing this correctly, identity was later confirmed by the Army alongside the names of her fellow crew members, who nobody had a problem mentioning.
Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eves, 39. Staff Sergeant Ryan O 'Hara, 28. Eves, the instructor pilot, had over a thousand hours of flight experience.
Making him significantly more experienced than Lobach, who was the co-pilot during the flight.
Okay?
Now, Lobach's background has also drawn attention due to her connection to the White House.
Well, the Biden one.
Reports indicate she previously served as a White House aide, which is a detail that has fueled speculation about the nature of the flight.
And its potential ties to a high-level government operation.
That, to me, in and of itself doesn't mean anything, but it's interesting.
The Black Hawk unit involved in the crash was reportedly responsible for, and this is what I told you yesterday, that a lot of these people, these pilot types, can't explain.
Oh, they're great at choice, and here's the track four and track three, but that's not what we're talking about.
They're responsible for doomsday readiness, practicing secretive evacuation plans for top government officials in the event of a catastrophic national emergency.
Now, this revelation has only deepened and intensified public You know, curiosity and questions about this.
About the flight's purpose, the individuals involved, you know, was she the pilot?
That's the question.
That's the thing I want to know.
So Captain Lobach was not the primary pilot, but rather the co-pilot during the flight.
Don't you think that's important?
Don't you think people who might be wanting to protect her, whatever, say, she's not the primary pilot.
They didn't say anything.
If your goal is to, whatever, to deflect, redirect, blame, wouldn't you say that?
Makes sense to me.
The instructor pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eves, was in charge of the operation, as the flight was reportedly a checkride, which is a periodic assessment.
of a less experienced pilot's skills by a more Interesting.
Lobach's 500 hours of flight time, while considered normal for her level, were half of his 1,000 hours, highlighting, of course, the disparity in experience.
All of this followed up in the newsletter.
Now, the purpose of the flight, what was it?
Well, it was to evaluate her performance under various conditions.
A standard procedure, they say, in military aviation training.
However, the dynamics of a checkride can create added pressure as the less experienced pilot may feel nervous and overly focused on avoiding mistakes.
While the instructor observes and occasionally introduces challenges to test their responses.
Now, experts have noted that such forms of evaluations, while important and certainly critical for skill development, can sometimes lead to heightened stress, particularly in complex environments like the crowded airspace near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Why were they even doing this?
So was it doomsday?
Was it the checkride?
We'll see.
Now, why is there this perceived cover-up?
This is important.
The perception of a cover-up here stems from several factors.
Primarily, the army, and by the way, let's see what Pete Hegseth does, how he handles this.
Primarily, the army's Initial decision to withhold her name at the family's request.
That was one of the dumbest things ever.
If you're going to...
What?
The other...
Eves' family doesn't care?
Other people...
It was so weird.
And we have been through four years of the weirdest stuff anybody can imagine.
So this move, described as highly unusual by many, many sources, deviated from, and they say, standard military protocol.
Which always, well, which I should say typically and usually involves releasing the names of the sea soldiers within 24 hours of notifying their families.
This is news.
Can you think of anybody else?
Whether it's Payne Stewart or Kobe Bryant, they say exactly who it was.
And the delay in identifying Lobach?
Coupled with the flight's secretive nature as part of the doomsday readiness exercises, this has led to widespread suspicion.
A lot of folks are arguing that the government and the military may be withholding information to protect sensitive operational details or to avoid further scrutiny or who knows what.
The question is, what's Trump going to do with this?
What's Hegseth going to do?
Is he going to say, it's not our problem, that's a Biden problem.
We're not going to do anything to necessarily...
What am I trying to say?
We're not going to care about embarrassing them.
This isn't our routines.
We can't be held responsible, so let's just open it up.
Or does the Pentagon say, no, no, no, Pete, you work for us now.
You can't hang us out to dry, even though this might make the Biden administration...
And this may help you politically.
So that remains to be seen.
But the Army's reluctance, you know, that we're going to immediately disclose details about the flight's purpose, has also fueled distrust questions like, what's this about?
The Black Hawk was reportedly practicing evacuation plans, listen to this, for high-ranking officials.
A mission that inherently involves secrecy.
And this is the people they get for high-level VIP.
I'm just saying.
I don't know.
I'm not an expert in this.
That's that continuity of government stuff.
That's that COG business.
And this has led some people to question whether the flight's objectives were appropriately balanced, I guess, or taken into consideration against the risks of operating in a busy civilian place like this?
The fact that air traffic controllers were repeatedly offered buyouts just the day before the crash has also made people say, what?
And some are speculating that staffing shortages or complete mismanagement within the FAA may have contributed to the disaster.
Does that make sense to you?
Let me ask you something.
Is anybody talking about this?
No.
Fox News talking about this?
No.
I saw before, Fox News had, you ready for this?
A piece, you're going to love this, because people are not able to get eggs, I guess, through the, what, through the bird flu or something?
Oh, probably especially.
Well, where are we going to get our protein?
They don't have a protein problem in this country.
They had a physician on talking about, well, you know, you can get them elsewhere and say, protein?
You're worried about eggs?
Oh, my God!
They're not worried about this.
But they've got some doctor talking about, oh, this is why they're doomed.
Now let's talk about some of the hypotheses and theories, shall we?
The crash has sparked, as you can imagine, a range of suspicions and questions from all over the place, and for good reason.
And social media platforms like X is fantastic, and some users have suggested the collision was not accidental.
Pointing to the Blackhawks' deviation from its approved flight path, flying at least 100 feet higher than the maximum 200 feet permitted.
What was that about?
And they think that this is somehow evidence of some kind of a deliberate action.
Others have questioned how a military helicopter equipped with advanced collision avoidance technology, because remember, this is used in battlefields, could have collided with a commercial jet?
In one of the most heavily monitored airspaces in the world?
And all these pilots who put on their shirt with little epaulets and, you know, well, they're going like...
We know that!
Answer this question!
We're not going to answer that question.
That's why I keep telling people, they keep sending me, oh, you've got to watch this.
This is the best YouTuber.
He doesn't tell me this!
He explains the obvious.
Bang!
I got that.
So the theories and hypotheses and, you know, scenarios that have been mentioned often focus on the flights, of course, secret of nature, kind of top secret stuff, and the potential presence of high-value individuals.
Do we know everybody that was on that flight?
Everybody for sure?
Do we know this?
I mean, this is incredible.
Now, though no evidence has been presented to support any of the claims, now, another line of speculation and question and query is, I think, interesting, is something you should deal with, revolves around the identities of the people of mom.
Now, early misinformation identified the female as Joe Ellis.
Did you see this?
And I remember that morning, I said, do we know for sure?
This was a transgender National Guard pilot leading to a wave of online harassment and threats against her.
My God!
Ellis was forced to post a proof of life video to debunk the rumors.
And she understandably condemned the spread of false rumors.
Look, we don't need the government to tell us this, but we really should be very careful before we say, well, it's obviously this.
No, it wasn't that person.
So this case highlights, of course, the dangers of, again, unchecked speculation in the wake of the aftermath of high-profile stuff.
Meanwhile, by the way, some have questioned whether the Army's withholding of Lobach's name was intended to shield the military from criticism or to obscure details about her background, including her prior role as a White House aide.
Does that mean anything?
No.
Not really.
Now, the withholding of information appears to be driven by a combination of a number of things.
First of all, privacy considerations and, quote, operational security.
All right?
And that's what they say.
Now, the decision to honor the Lobach family's request for anonymity, what about, again, I don't know about you, but do you know anybody?
Normally...
Family members say, we want to honor him.
They have a picture of him.
They salute.
They want to have funerals.
They want to have this person honored by the president, by others.
Nobody says, keep quiet.
Don't tell anybody.
Say, are you sure the family?
Were they really doing this?
I mean, the request for anonymity is controversial, but it was framed, I guess, as a gesture, they said, of respect.
But why not the others?
That's the part that kills me.
But, this has been criticized, of course, as being inconsistent, and that's the issue with standard practices.
So many people are asking questions about, wait a minute, is the military or the Pentagon or DOD, are they prioritizing, again, this word, public transparency?
Now, in addition, this secretive, and we don't have to know everything the military does, but the secretive notion of the Blackhawk, Part of the, quote, doomsday readiness and this continuity of government stuff, it's limited public information as you can imagine.
And I think for good reason.
And of course, the lack of transparency amplifies this public trust.
Okay, so what about the latest developments?
Because this is still fascinating to me.
As of today, the investigation into the crash is ongoing.
With the black box data from both the Blackhawk and the American Airlines jet.
And you notice how they're not talking anything about the American Airlines jet.
Nothing about the pilot.
Nothing about his error.
Nothing.
There is no...
Have you noticed that?
Nothing.
Who was the pilot?
Who was he?
How many hours has he had?
Because most people, I think, it seems correctly saying it's not his fault.
You've got this maneuverable black hawk that's flying too high.
And the initial findings suggest that the black hawk was flying, again, above its designated altitude.
And this is, of course, critical.
But the exact cause remains, as of now, undetermined.
Or the reported actual cause is reportedly undetermined.
And investigators, of course, are looking at multiple factors and potential failures in air traffic control.
By the way, ATC, pilot error, should there have been two working a day or one?
President Trump.
You got a problem with that?
I know.
And critics, by the way, have included Democratic lawmakers, of course, and they're talking about Trump politicizing the tragedy.
Nobody cares.
Let me tell you something.
Take it from me.
When you've got a president that says, I want you to be safe on your plane.
Yes, sir.
We do, too.
And we're going to find out if there's some stupid DEI practice.
You go ahead, whether they gave bids or buyouts.
Americans say, no, no, no, no, no.
Screw DEI.
We want to know the truth.
So they are 100% with Trump.
100%.
And by the way, you don't understand what DEI means to us.
Everybody, everybody at some place, everybody here, people watching right now, have themselves in their own walk of life, in their own jobs, have felt something.
Everybody's had a job that went to somebody not qualified because of a quota, because of a checkmark, because of some demographic, because of some DEI, affirmative action, lunacy.
We know this.
This is nothing new.
Who was the one?
Quinella or Sharquitha or whatever her name was.
First one hired, last one fired.
What?
It was last one fired.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Now, Let me also say something which is very interesting.
On a different notion, different area of sorts.
This...
How do I say this?
This city has so...
Have you noticed it too, honey?
It's just different.
The illegals are gone.
They're closing hotels.
You just don't see them.
The streets are getting back to normal.
You don't see this.
Surly, kind of, what the hell is this?
And I'm sorry if you don't like that.
God bless this president and what he has done in terms of making this a better and safer place.
Absolutely.
Pilgrim says, you can call me Ray or you can call me Johnny.
Yeah, that was, what was his name?
Yeah, Johnson.
It was comedy gold.
Yeah.
What was his name?
He did that one.
That was his only thing.
I can see him with kind of a mustache.
You can call me Ray.
You can call me Johnny.
But don't call me.
Brad Rung says Christine Brinkley today is 71. Senator John Cornyn is 76. I'm sorry.
Brent John Cornyn.
Brent Spiner is 76. T.D. Chef Ina Gardner.
77. Cannot stand her.
Barefoot Contessa.
TV executive Barry Diller, 83. And Graham Nash is 83. How about that?
Edie Crowley says, Mr. L, Gemini Queen wants to get the newsletter.
Somehow I got dropped from it.
Sorry to interrupt, but side issues for me have been challenging.
Well, I cannot, if you have been unsubscribed, I cannot do it.
You've got to go.
To the link that is available and sign up.
Once you are unsubscribed, that's it.
Crypto says, Big Dick Daniel from Chicago here.
Uncle, appreciate you.
Thank you so much for that.
So anyway, we'll see this.
We will obviously, obviously, obviously keep you up to speed.
Let me also tell you one more thing in terms of great, great, great people and great, great Americans.
