Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Friday night Q&A session that we do, although, as you

might have noticed, it's not actually on Friday night. It's on Thursday night. We talked

last week about the possibility of moving our Friday night Q&A session to Thursday, which I think is what we're going to do, which is why we're doing it now on Thursday night. It pains me a little bit because it's been called the Friday night Q&A session for so long. It just flows so freely out of my mouth that I may change it permanently. We may do that for Thursday night and still call it the Friday night Q&A, even though it'll be confusing just because I'm very attached to that name. Or I might just bite the bullet and step up to the

plate and just call it the Thursday night Q&A, even though it pains me to do so. I think it'll be

less confusing, less misleading. And at the end of the day, as a journalist, Truth is my North Star.

And so probably that's what I'll have to do. All right, as you probably know, the format is very misleading and at the end of the day as a journalist truth is my North Star and so

probably that's what I'll have to do all right as you probably know the format is

very simple we take Q&A questions rather throughout the week from our subscribers

we sometimes put the post up on the day to get make sure that the questions

are timely but we still have the ones from submitted from last week that

gets submitted throughout the week then we try and pick kind of the best mix that's reflective of the news cycle and things that we may not otherwise discuss, or at least from a perspective that we might not discuss it from. And that is what we're about to do. So before I dive into the questions, I try and get to as many of them as I can without making it like a lightning around sort of Q&A where I just answer yes or no or rate things on a scale of 1 to 10 or talk about

my favorite color is. I try and give some in-depth analysis, but still get to as many as possible.

Just a quick programming note earlier this morning, I was on breaking points with Crystal Ball

and Saga and Jetty talking about a variety of topics,

including this blockbuster and completely deceitful and fraudulent report from the ADL

about the supposed explosion and what they're calling anti-Semitic hate crimes for 2025.

Even they admit that it's gone down from 2023 and 2024 when they manufactured an epidemic.

And I talked about how these statistics are manipulated by the ADL, the reasons that they do so,

what they consider an anti-Semitic eight crime, which is far more often than not, people

just marching in the street and criticizing Israel or expressing constitutionally protected phrases

that for whatever reason, people find anti-Semitic even though

they're not so you can look for that there i also talked a little bit about a protest in new york city
