It would facilitate those classified discussions with myself, as well as with former directors, as well as other former members of the intelligence community that had those clearances. Again, yesterday's EO was bizarre among many of the bizarre executive orders that he had signed out.
And as you point out, he misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. No, we said it was. for the hallmarks of Russian information operations, including the dumping of accurate information, which is what we said in that letter.
So again, this was just his effort to try to get back at those individuals who have criticized him openly and publicly in the past, and I think very legitimately.
Hello.
Yeah, kind of. Honestly, there's like so many restaurants around here. I just walk. Sorry. I'm very nervous.
It was disgusting. It was just a nasty, gnarly... You know, picture five dudes all living under one roof and everyone's got their friends over, you know, every night and just having fun. I mean, we're all in college and there's no real responsibilities. And, you know, we split rent, you know, scraping by, working jobs and going to school. Partying.
And just partying and having fun, you know what I mean?
Started saving for a house when I was like 13. So my plan was always to, you know, buy a house and, you know, start a life and get a job and get married, have kids. You know, that's all, you know, the normal kind of like flow of things.
We were never exclusive. It was nothing official like that. And she was fun. We went to high school together. She was cool. She was popular. She was really pretty and had a lot of friends. And, you know, everything was cool.
I actually remember the moment precisely. I'm driving to work and she calls me and says that she thinks she's pregnant. You know, your heart just dives down deep into your stomach and this can't be real. But yeah, she was. She took the tests, went to the doctor, confirmed definitely pregnant.
You know, she doesn't recall any kind of significant moment that would lead her to believe it's either one of us in particular. So as far as I'm concerned, it's a coin toss. And she's very early stages pregnancy, not showing or anything like that. What do you do? Do you wait until the baby's born?
I've never been in a situation like this. So we just look up, is it possible to do a DNA test before a baby's born? And we find this company that will do a prenatal DNA test. And I'm like, what? What does that even mean? What is that? What does that mean?
Yeah, this guy shows up in this old car, comes to the door with a briefcase and decides that he's gonna do this DNA test at our kitchen table, which is a pigsty. And I remember I just having to scoop beer cans to the side and he throws down his briefcase and whips out needles. And my gut's telling me this is probably not the best situation. It didn't seem super legit.
What are we going to do, back out? You know, we're kids. We don't know any better. We're like, I guess this is just normal. This is what people do. And yeah, this guy takes my blood right there at my kitchen table with all my buddies there and stuffs my little vial of blood into his briefcase and walks out the door with it.
And I guess I just kind of trusted that, you know, a proper test is going to be done and I can trust these results.
And I still remember where I was at when this phone call went down. I was on my way home from work and I pulled over in a random grocery store parking lot.
And I remember thinking it was a little bit odd that they were kind of like, oh, we have the results. We got them here. Oh, yeah, it was positive. It's a match.
I remember just wanting to get, like, something official. Show me some paperwork. Show me something. Let me see proof. Not just some random guy on the phone telling me that I'm the father. I don't know who this guy is. Who's telling me this?
And yeah, at the very bottom, it just says 99.97% match. And I'm like, all right, well, hey, that seems pretty official.
As soon as I saw those test results, it was like a line in the sand immediately. Right then and there, things just changed. My priorities changed, my perspective, my outlook on things changed. Everything I did was now geared towards building a life and building a future for this child.
