Hey, if you're here listening, you know you don't want spin, right? You know that, Bill knows that, Bill does not mess with the spin. You want it straight. So here's a straight recommendation. I'm Mike Baker, former CIA officer, and every day on the president's daily brief, I do for national security and geopolitics exactly what this show does for the news. No agenda, no hysteria, no opinion, just the facts.

We tell you what's happening. You decide how to think about it. It's named for the brief that

lands on the president's desk and it runs every single day, 20 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes

in the afternoon. Smart, fast, honest, follow the president's daily brief on Apple, Spotify,

or wherever you listen.

My ideology is I'm not in any crew at all. Anybody who thinks that NPR and PBS are fair brokers of information is a lunatic. They're not. I'm not at the altar of socialism.

They'll kill you.

They have the power to kill you.

So I want to talk about Bill Maher tonight.

And I have a long history with Mr. Marr.

And he said something on NPR.

He did a podcast that's very interesting.

And I want to analyze it for you in this long-form, we call it, podcast you may call it, we'll do it live.

Now, I was on Mars program last December. It went pretty well for me.

And I suspect with my book coming out, Confronting America, that I'll be back on with him sometime in the fall.

He's in L.A., I'm in New York, so it's not an easy gig, and I don't want to put him on a satellite unless I have to.

I'd much rather do it in person.

So anyway, he goes on NPR and you need to know a little bit about this. So I first ran into Marr when he, shortly after 9-11, the attack was fired by EBC, okay?

And he was fired because he said that the terrorists were not cowards, and he was calibrating

that the terrorists themselves, who flew the planes into World Trade Center in the Pentagon,

and then out in Pennsylvania, knew they were going to die and were willing to die for their cause of Wahhabism or whatever nutty thing they embraced.

So they couldn't be cowards because they're willing to live their lives.
