All righty and welcome to it and happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate.

I always say, happy Halloween to those who celebrate.

Well, I hope you're celebrating Halloween.

It is the 31st of October

2026. I'm Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter podcast, and this thing is really ticking me off.

So I hope it works this time. It's like the fit time I had to restart this because the graphics are all

weird on this recorder. But it's working right now. So knock on plastic, we can get through it.

And then I'll be able to record the week in F and review at patreon.com slash Derek Hunter podcast

and help everybody relieve some of the stress that's going on around there because there's a lot of stress going on around there.

Every once in a while you do a show where you recognize that you're just going to piss people off.

You're just going to piss everybody off and you have a choice.

You can either not or and pretend that you're not, you know, you don't think these things, or you can just do it.

And I think you, I just, I prefer to do it.

I think you guys respect that more.

I know I respect that more and I respect myself, not sitting there going, oh, let's just ignore

this controversy.

Oh, let's do this because I want to make money off these people.

Whatever it is, it's just annoying.

So this is going to be how to lose friends and alienate people. It's going to be praising John Federman and criticizing

the Heritage Foundation. Neither of which, I mean, Federman thing, I guess, is okay. That doesn't

really bother me all that much,

but the criticizing of the Heritage Foundation has to be done.
