All righty, hello and everyone, welcome to it.

It is 19th of June, 2025.

Happy Thursday to you.

I am Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter podcast.

Thanks to everybody who's been sending me nice notes and emails and everything in supporting the show.

It's nice. It's just a few people have been sending weird things. Just got to me. And so, yes, I'm feeling, I still am tired. Still, I'm very tired. And I have made an

executive decision to take this Friday off, meaning tomorrow. Why? Because it's my birthday weekend.

And because, I'm not even going to put, I don't even think I'm going to put anything up. I'm going to

skip that

episode, pretend it didn't even happen. Of course, that may change if something comes up, but I doubt it.

Just because I need a little bit of a rest. And so a day is not, that doesn't change anything

about the Patreon. That doesn't change anything about the patreon that doesn't change anything else it's

just one freaking day where i don't have to write a column because i don't have to write a column

until saturday morning and that'll be nice to not have to do anything extra for one day

happy birthday to me all right let's get going because we got a lot to get to

and not a lot of time to do it. I'm looking at the Drudge report right now and it is all just

garbage. I don't know. Matt Drudge is very excited though. He hasn't been this excited since Justin Bieber hadn't started puberty yet.

It is nonstop.

Oh, trouble in Trump world.

Oh, trouble in Trump world.

I don't know if he sold the site or just sold out.

I don't really care which.
