·31 min·3 clips

How did Seal Team Six and CIA operatives use space lasers to rescue an F-15 pilot in Iran?

The episode opens with Clay Edwards introducing the topic of a U.S. military rescue mission in Iran, where an F-15 pilot was saved using Seal Team Six, CIA operatives, and advanced surveillance. Andrew Gasser provides details, noting the pilot had a broken leg and no enemy got within three kilometers due to drone strikes. They discuss international criticism, particularly from France, about the cost of losing aircraft for one person, contrasting it with U.S. values of leaving no one behind. Clay transitions to a break with promotions for McBee's Bar and Grill and his FAFO shirt sale. After the break, Andrew shares personal news about twin lambs born on his farm and talks about cooking lamb, recommending Cypress Point Steakhouse's lamb lollipops. The conversation turns to health, with Andrew describing his 70-80 pound weight loss on a carnivore diet and how diet affects inflammation and pain. Clay mentions using grass-fed beef tallow and praises Stonington Farm's products. They discuss Robert Kennedy Jr.'s efforts for food transparency and critique body positivity movements. Andrew argues that health has been politicized, linking it to anti-vaccine stances. Clay then shifts to a story about comedian Drewski using whiteface to mock white people, comparing it to blackface controversies. He mentions Jake Paul planning a response, highlighting double standards in racial comedy. Clay recounts a personal anecdote about being called racist for supporting Donald Trump, illustrating political divides. Andrew criticizes society's lack of critical thinking and reliance on AI to verify images, blaming media narratives. The episode ends with Clay promoting sponsors like Anglin Plumbing and Metal Builders Supply, and teasing future content.
