Oh, hi, hello, and everyone.

It is today at the podcast 406th of February, 2026. Happy Friday.

We've made it to Friday. You know, that's all you can really ask for in some weeks.

I appreciate you download and sharing and listening and all that stuff. Don't forget, patreon.com slash Derek Hunter Podcasts, support the show and get the extra bonus curse program at midnight where I will, I'll rant about snow removal at least,

because that's kind of pissed me off this week,

and I'll explain it.

But I want to get to this so we can get through this.

I've got to say right off the bat,

I feel horrible for Savannah Guthrie and her family

and what they're doing,

what they're going through with their mother, but it is, it's news.

Don't get me wrong.

It's not that it's not news, but it's not the only news in the world.

Fox News pretty much going wall to wall with this.

And there's other things happening. Now, CNN and MSN now,

whatever, they're covering it. Well, CNN is. MS now is just hammering nonstop about ice and everything else. But there are other things happening in the world.

And with that, I want to get to those other things, but I just want to point out that what's

going on is really sad.

So, yeah, I want to play for you the brainwashing of the American people and how this works.

Because you sit there and you do wonder, how do people get so stupid?

How did we as a species get so stupid?

We have all the advantages of the richest country on the planet.
