## About this episode

A viral video claiming a loose Ukrainian nuclear weapon is behind recent drone sightings has triggered widespread hysteria across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. White House spokesperson John Kirby countered these rumors by identifying the lights as lawful manned aircraft, yet Senator Andy Kim and former Governor Larry Hogan maintain they witnessed dozens of large, unidentified craft. This public anxiety coincides with the House passing the $895 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which includes H.R. 8610 to ban DJI drones from United States airspace.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is currently developing White Stork, a stealth military project focused on mass-producing five-hundred-dollar AI drones capable of destroying multi-million dollar tanks. In Syria, the fifty-year rule of the Assad family ended as Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, leaving the transitional government in the hands of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden granted clemency to three Chinese nationals, including two convicted spies, as part of a prisoner swap for Americans Mark Swyden, Kai Li, and John Leung. On the domestic front, Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to terminate energy exports to New York and Michigan in response to Donald Trump’s proposed trade tariffs.

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos reached a fifteen-million-dollar settlement with Donald Trump over false claims regarding the E. Jean Carroll verdict. In the medical world, Moderna halted its mRNA RSV vaccine trial for children after data showed vaccinated subjects were three times more likely to suffer severe illness than the placebo group. Archduchess Kim led the executive producer donations this week with a contribution of over twenty-seven hundred dollars, reminding everyone that cooking bacon while naked is a significant safety hazard.
