Hi, welcome to today's episode of Stand Up, where each and every day I find the smartest, bestest people I can talk to, and I ask them questions.

That's the show.

It's what the show has always been.

I don't have the answers, but my guests always do.

I'll give you my best take, but I'm looking for the best people I can find to talk to you

about the most important and most impactful issues that affect you, your planet, the country,

your community, the environment, and everything else.

So let me know who you want to hear on the show, stand up with pete at gmail.com.

Join me today, a longtime listener of the old show, a regular caller, who's become one of our favorite guests because somehow, some reason, he sure does know a lot.

He'll be in D.C. Bill Boyle is my guest.

We talked about Ukraine, Russia for a while.

We talked about the government shutdown.

We talked about no kings,

protests, and much, much more. Great conversation with Bill Boyle. And if you want to jump to the conversation itself, to the interview, you can fast forward, as we used to say, or skip ahead

to about 30 minutes into today's show.

But I hope that you will stay here because I also every day have a great news recap for

you, which is worth the price of a subscription alone for as little as $5 a month.

You can gain access to our community, our hangouts, our Discord platform, and support one of the best

independent media outlets out there, at least someone who operates alone, independent of any

corporate, massive giant, or even some of these big independent giants that have started

to form from the Midas Touch to the Pod saves.

Nah, it's just me. Me, and I am beholden to you. So that's it. That's what we do every day. And I'm going to get right to it right now. Thank you very much, though, to my friend Glenn Kirchner, who had me on his live substack last night. And welcome to anybody who might be listening as a result. It was great to be over there with Glenn. Went so well. I think I might share the audio here as part of tomorrow's show. It was a great conversation that we had and I was really happy with it. And of course, Glenn is an old friend of mine and we talk all the time. I love him to death. You should subscribe to his substack if you haven't already, but you probably already have because everybody is subscribed to Glenn. He's the best. It really, really is and so supportive of me. And so
