Okay, we're back. Welcome freedom loving people to the R.H. podcast. You got myself, Ryan Puget here with our multi-time chiefest station, 34 years in the U.S. government across CIA State Department and the U.S. Army. And good friend, Glenn Korn, who is, as always, a world traveler today. Glenn, where are you at, or in general? Where have you been and what part of the world are you in? Well, hello, Ryan. Hello, everybody. It's great to see you. Those of you I can't see. It was great to imagine you. So it's, it's, I have to say, I kind of missed you, Ryan, because we had like this, when we started the program, we had like five or six in a row because everything it was going on with Alaska and the summit

and there was a lynxie meeting.

And we had like a week off.

So I'm sorry to the listeners, the followers.

But now we have occasion to have a new show.

I just came out of a couple of days in Turkey

where I was kind of half business, half pleasure,

in Istanbul and on the coast, Bodrum, beautiful place.

I bet you ate well, Glenn.

Is there like something you go back and you eat when you're there?

Like you cannot not eat.

It's, you know, you have to exercise a lot.

Luckily, I did a lot of walking.

So the food there is amazing. The hospitality is amazing. So it was fascinating trip. And then, yeah, where else? I'm in Europe right now. I'll just say I'm in Europe. Are people following you while you're walking these days? Like, do they not trust Glenn to be out on his own now? To be honest with you, like, I'm so blind I can't see. They could be

like right behind me. I wouldn't know. I don't believe that for a second. That's just your obsec here. No, no. I, yeah. So anyway, we'll jump in. There's so much to cover. I'm just going to hit the high points real quick because I am certain people will not be able to guess what we're going to start with, which is what you had pinged me about. And I am excited to hear about this.

But so much going on with the Shang. will not be able to guess what we're going to start with, which is what you had pinged me about.

And I am excited to hear about this. But so much going on with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,

the summit going on right now. You have Kim Jong-un taking a 20-hour armored train ride from his digs in the DPRK,

over to Tianjin in China.

You've got Xi, you've got Putin, obviously Kim Jong-un.

You had Modi front and center over the past couple days.

Pakistan's there, a whole lot of other interesting characters.
