Good evening folks,
Episodes 714 - 717 are in the vault, but before we get to all of that, I’ll update you on the WILD story that never happened.
I told you that I was heading to Jacksonville, Florida to watch Tucker Carlson live and to have a few other notable interactions. I had bags packed and a new shirt picked out just for the occasion and then hurricane Helene happened. We discussed leaving in the middle of the night or going down a day late, but as things progressed more things began to fall apart. I mean honestly of all things a hurricane shuts it down.
Normally I’d be very frustrated and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a touch disappointed. I mean we were within 12 hours from departing, but I was praying throughout the past week that if this was not His plan than to shut it down. So, disappointed? Yes, but I couldn’t help but laugh that a hurricane stopped my travel plans. Is there a clearer sign?
I trust that I was not meant to be there as tough as that is to admit.
Here is the latest Week in Review segment and your nudge to get caught back up on any of the content you may have missed.
My top pick for this week is Chuck Prodonick. I could be wrong, but I feel this is the most precarious time I have ever lived and at times I don’t think I fully understand how close to all out war we are and Chuck’s perspective was greatly appreciated.
Chuck and I discussed what happens if Trump were to be assassinated and the thought of what he is talking about is nerve racking. Love or hate trump it doesn’t matter, if he were to be successfully eliminated the aftermath would be something I don’t think we can fully comprehend. Each week it seems a new attempt is unearthed and as we draw closer to the election I believe more attempts will be made. To listen to the full episode CLICK HERE.
What stuck out to you from this week? Comment below.
My plan for this week was to give you a bunch of updates from a private plane and a few behind the scenes of being down in Florida, instead you get a few glimpses into fatherhood from this past week.
I told you last week Casey just got the hang of biking, well a week later and we’ve toured Bud Miller with him. Pretty cool to see when a kid finally gets a skill and then excels immediately. We have a spent a ton of time on the bikes this week.
One of the best things of not going anywhere was being back in the rink for U9 hockey evaluations.
Also got to see the oldest take 1st place in his Cross Country meet. As you can see I’ve had a pretty good week overall and really have nothing to complain about.
Monday I’m joined by Stephen Coughlin an American lawyer and former intelligence analyst. He is known for his work on Islamic law and its implications for national security. He served as a contract employee at the Pentagon, working with the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Intelligence Directorate post-9/11. I promise this is one you should tune into. Please light up the text line tomorrow. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. For paid subscribers below is a preview of tomorrow’s episode.
