Transcript [00:00] Hey everyone, there's a major story this [00:02] week involving [00:03] Turkey, Israel, and one of the most [00:06] sensitive pieces of military technology [00:08] in the world, the F-35. [00:11] And we're going to start this off by [00:13] just playing a clip of President Trump [00:14] about a minute long. [00:16] And [00:17] then we'll explain what on earth is [00:19] going on here. So let me pull this up on [00:21] screen. [00:22] This is President Trump in the Oval [00:24] Office. [00:26] Sitting next to him is Mark Rutte, who [00:28] is the head of NATO. [00:31] So here we go. Here's President Trump. [00:33] >> I think that Mr. [00:34] >> And I and I think that Erdogan [00:38] is Look, he loves Turkey. [00:40] Right? He's doing a great job. He loves [00:43] Turkey. [00:44] I love the US, but he loves Turkey and [00:46] he's doing a great job. He's a respected [00:48] man, a respected leader, and he's been a [00:50] friend of mine. Now, I shouldn't say [00:51] that because guys like Peter would say, [00:53] "Oh, he likes Erdogan." [00:55] He likes Erdogan. Peter won't Peter [00:57] won't again. It's some of the others, [00:58] let's say, but but uh Erdogan is [01:01] a strong man. [01:03] Uh but he's been everything I've ever [01:05] asked him for, he's done. [01:07] >> Mr. President, Mr. Secretary General, [01:11] clearly pointed out that allies want to [01:12] do defense business with you. And Turkey [01:15] is definitely one of them. They want to [01:17] They want the F-110 jet engines and they [01:19] want the F-35 fighter jets. Are you [01:22] going to Turkey with a big gift bag? [01:25] >> I think so. Yeah, I think so. He's a [01:27] member of NATO. [01:28] Some people don't consider him so, but [01:30] he really is. He's a [01:32] He's a strong member of NATO. Yeah, I'm [01:34] I'm going to probably do something [01:36] that's going to make him very happy. [01:38] >> I'm probably going to do something [01:40] that's going to make him [01:42] very happy. [01:44] Okay. [01:46] So what are we talking about here? [01:48] There's There's been a fight brewing for [01:50] months. [01:52] So back in April, [01:54] the US ambassador to Turkey, Tom [01:57] Barrack, [01:58] was quoted as saying that we're soon [02:01] going to solve the problem. US [02:02] Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, said [02:04] on Friday, this is April 17th, 2 months [02:06] ago, that he expected Washington and [02:08] Ankara to soon solve the issue [02:11] of US sanctions over Turkey's purchase [02:13] of S-400 missile defenses. I think [02:16] you're going to see the S-400 situation [02:18] solved soon from my bosses point of [02:21] view, meaning Trump, acceptance into an [02:24] F-35 program is fine. He said this at [02:28] the Antalya Diplomacy Forum that took [02:30] place a couple months ago. [02:32] So, it's totally fine. [02:35] So, [02:37] what does this mean? That's the US [02:38] Ambassador going on the record months [02:41] ago saying that President Trump is fine [02:43] with Turkey in the F-35 program. Fast [02:45] forward to this month, [02:48] to this month, [02:49] and we have Secretary of State Marco [02:51] Rubio giving testimony to [02:54] the [02:56] to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, [02:59] and look at what he says there. Here's [03:01] Secretary of State, [03:03] Turkey's status in the F-35 program [03:06] cannot change. [03:08] Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated [03:10] that the Trump administration currently [03:11] lacks the legal authority [03:14] to alter Turkey's status in the F-35 [03:16] program citing statutory restrictions [03:19] linked to Ankara's acquisition of the [03:21] Russian S-400 air defense system. We'll [03:23] explain that soon. [03:24] The issue arose during Rubio's testimony [03:27] before the House Foreign Affairs [03:28] Committee. [03:30] Uh Representative Dina Titus challenged [03:33] recent comments by US Ambassador to [03:35] Turkey, Tom Barrack, suggesting that [03:37] Turkey should be brought back into the [03:39] F-35 program. [03:41] Titus argued that such remarks were [03:43] inconsistent with existing US law and [03:45] long-standing American policy and asked [03:47] Rubio directly whether Turkey could [03:49] receive F-15s or F-35s. In response, [03:53] Rubio recalled that Turkey had [03:54] originally been a participant in the [03:56] F-35 program, but was excluded after [03:59] purchasing Russian-made S-400s. Again, [04:02] we will explain those [04:03] very soon. [04:05] The reason why they can't get them is [04:06] because they purchased the S the S-400 [04:08] from the Russians. Rubio said when Titus [04:10] noted that Turkey still possesses the [04:12] S-400s and remains subject to mandatory [04:15] sanctions. Rubio agreed and stressed [04:17] that the matter is governed by law. [04:19] "Correct." said Rubio. "So as you know, [04:22] that's governed by statute." He then [04:24] added, "Right now we don't have that [04:26] choice because it's governed by statute, [04:28] both provisions [04:30] of the National Defense Authorization [04:32] Act and statute. [04:35] Okay? There we go. [04:38] So what is this? [04:39] The law says no. [04:41] Trump can can decide to give F-35s to [04:44] Erdogan, but the law says no. So why [04:47] does the law say no? [04:49] So it comes down to these Russian-made [04:51] air defenses called the S-400, which [04:54] Turkey bought back in 2017 and it still [04:57] owns it still owns them today. There's [04:59] an actual US statute on the books [05:02] that says that Turkey cannot get the [05:04] F-35 unless the government certifies in [05:07] writing to Congress that Turkey no [05:10] longer owns these things, this F-400. [05:14] Okay, I'll explain why it's a deal [05:15] breaker in a few minutes. I'm sorry I [05:16] keep leading you on here, but it's a [05:17] little bit I have to explain this [05:20] you know, the right way. So stay with [05:22] me. [05:23] But keep that name in your head, S-400. [05:25] It's the hinge that this entire story [05:27] turns on. Now here's where it gets [05:28] interesting. I just I just want to lay [05:30] out the conflict in the administration. [05:32] Just So then shortly after Rubio says [05:34] that, meaning we're now a few weeks [05:36] later, [05:37] and we have Vice President Vance [05:40] who was asked about President Trump's [05:42] comments [05:44] He was asked about President Trump's [05:45] comments that we just played about about [05:48] about maybe giving [05:51] um F-35s to Turkey, bringing Turkey back [05:53] into the F-35 program. So, this is from [05:56] This is from 2 days ago. Vance says [05:58] review underway to see how Turkey can [06:00] get F-35 fighter jets. [06:04] US Vice President J.D. Vance indicated [06:06] on Wednesday, a couple days ago, that a [06:08] review was underway to see how the [06:09] United States could sell Turkey F-35 [06:12] fighter jets. [06:15] given [06:16] the acquisition of S-400s. Pete quote, [06:19] Pete and the entire team, meaning Pete [06:20] Hegseth and the entire team, are [06:21] reviewing this right now because there [06:23] are certain things that we have to [06:24] certify have happened in order to comply [06:27] with American law. The president has [06:30] asked us to do that, Vance told [06:32] reporters. [06:33] Okay. [06:35] That means that it sounds like we have a [06:36] green light. [06:39] Or they're trying to get the green light [06:42] to sell F-35s to Turkey. So, in the [06:46] space of uh 2 months, you've got the US [06:48] ambassador to Turkey saying it's fine if [06:51] Turkey gets the if if Turkey gets the uh [06:53] F-35s. You then have the Secretary of [06:55] State saying, well, you know, in in uh [06:57] in [06:59] in front of the House [07:01] committee saying, no, because the law [07:05] says you can't. And now you have the [07:07] vice president saying that they're [07:08] reviewing how to get around that and how [07:10] to get around that law or how to [07:12] uh [07:13] how to be able to sell them. [07:15] So, [07:17] what what you see here is that there's [07:19] there's some contradiction in the [07:20] administration. [07:22] And and and Turkey's pushing hard. [07:24] And by the way, it's Democrats and [07:26] Republicans. This is bipartisan. We have [07:28] Republican Congresswoman Nicole [07:30] Malliotakis who posted a photo this week [07:34] of [07:36] Erdogan together with the former [07:38] president of Iran and with Vladimir [07:40] Putin. [07:42] Right? And you see what she writes here. [07:44] What does she write? [07:46] There is bipartisan opposition talking [07:47] about F-35s to Turkey. As long as Turkey [07:50] is under the leadership of Erdogan who [07:52] aligns himself with Iran and Russia, [07:53] harbors Hamas, and remains the only NATO [07:55] member to not sanction Russia, Turkey [07:57] should not receive our best jets and [07:59] military equipment. And there were other [08:01] There were other members of Congress who [08:03] weighed in also against this from both [08:04] sides of the aisle. So, I want to break [08:06] this whole thing down. [08:09] First of all, why does the F-35 matter [08:11] so much? We'll have to get into that. [08:12] And why is Turkey's S-400 Russian system [08:17] such a deal breaker? [08:18] And how did we get from Turkey being a [08:20] founding partner in the F-35 program [08:22] back in 2002, [08:25] 24 years ago, to where we are this week? [08:27] So, let's get into it. [08:29] Before we get into the politics, you [08:30] need to understand what's actually at [08:31] stake. Cuz this [08:33] The F-35 is not just a fighter plane. [08:36] It's not just like selling a piece of [08:37] equipment. It's not even really one [08:40] weapon. [08:41] It's what It's a platform. And that's [08:42] why they always call it the F-35 [08:44] program. You'll notice that. They don't [08:45] talk about selling F-35s. They talk [08:46] about bringing Turkey into the F-35 [08:48] program because it's an It's an [08:50] intelligence-sharing platform and much, [08:53] much more. It It was a senior Air Force [08:55] commander who described it as a system [08:58] of systems. It's It has uh [09:01] It It's stealth sensors and [09:02] communications don't just make the F-35 [09:04] hard to detect. It's not just about the [09:06] stealth. They make every other plane and [09:08] ground unit around it more effective, [09:10] too. Israel uh used this a lot in when [09:14] Iran had massive missile and drone [09:16] attacks against Israel in April 2024, [09:19] the F-35's ability to network with [09:21] everything else was actually making the [09:24] air defenses against those ballistic [09:26] missiles work better, even though the [09:27] F-35 wasn't actually the thing shooting [09:29] them down. [09:31] Uh there's something specific to Israel [09:33] here, also. Israel flies its own variant [09:35] of the F-35 called the F-35 I, Adir. [09:39] And it's not that America's, you know, [09:41] built Israel a better jet. It's that the [09:43] US gave, um, Israel permission [09:49] to rip out parts of the standard system [09:51] and plug in its own and Israeli made [09:53] technologies in the Israeli F-35. So, [09:55] Israel swapped its own electronic [09:57] warfare suite it built built [09:59] specifically to jam Russian made systems [10:02] like the S-400. It integrated its own [10:04] weapons into the F-35. [10:06] It even manufactures its own wings and [10:08] added extra fuel tanks so its jets can [10:11] reach around without your refueling [10:13] midair. And only Israel is allowed to [10:17] make adjustments to the F-35. The other [10:20] countries in the in the program are not [10:22] allowed to. [10:23] Um, [10:24] like mean the UK, Italy, Australia, [10:26] whoever is in the F-35 program, they fly [10:29] the standard version [10:31] uh, the way Lockheed Martin built it. [10:32] Israel's the only customer that has the [10:36] that has that, uh, [10:38] permission to make its own adjustments [10:41] to the F-35. So, when we talk about [10:43] Turkey wanting back into the program, [10:44] understand that it it's bad if Turkey if [10:47] Turkey gets even the baseline F-35. [10:50] Um, [10:51] but we should still remember as as [10:53] supporters of Israel that it doesn't [10:55] mean that Turkey has the F-35 that [10:57] Israel has. [11:00] Okay, but even so, having the same [11:01] baseline jet uh, with the capabilities [11:04] of the regular F-35 is still enough to [11:05] create a real danger. So, let's [11:08] let's go further. When we talk about [11:10] whether Turkey gets this jet, [11:13] it's [11:14] it it's not just about the transaction [11:16] itself. We're talking about whether [11:19] a country with Turkey's track record [11:21] gets access to the most advanced [11:23] military technology the United States [11:25] has. [11:26] And everything that that technology [11:28] touches. As I said, the F-35 is an [11:30] intelligence sharing platform. [11:32] And it has it has tremendous [11:33] capabilities beyond just being a jet. [11:37] So, let's get to the S-400. Now that you [11:39] understand a little bit more about the [11:41] the F-35. [11:45] The S-400 is a Russian-made air defense [11:47] system, very advanced. And it's built [11:50] specifically to track and shoot down [11:53] advanced aircraft, including stealth [11:56] aircraft like the F-35. [11:58] If Turkey operates both systems on the [12:01] same soil, as part of the same military, [12:04] the Pentagon's concern, [12:06] America's concern is that the S-400's [12:09] radar [12:10] could essentially study the F-35. [12:14] It could learn its stealth signature. It [12:17] could learn the way it moves, the way it [12:18] reflects radar. [12:20] And that could allow [12:23] the the the S-400 system [12:27] to crack the F-35 system. [12:29] And that information wouldn't stay in [12:31] Turkey. It would end up back in Moscow, [12:33] and potentially going to China and to [12:35] and even to Iran. [12:37] And this is the exact reason the US gave [12:41] when it threw Turkey out of the F-35 [12:43] program in 2019. It's the reason [12:45] Congress passed actual binding law [12:48] afterwards. Remember, this is not a [12:49] policy preference, it's a law saying [12:52] that F-35 [12:54] uh cannot be transferred to Turkey [12:56] unless [12:57] the Secretaries of State and Defense [13:00] jointly certify in writing to Congress [13:04] that Turkey no longer possesses the [13:06] S-400 and won't buy anything like it [13:08] again. That's what the law says. They're [13:09] not allowed to own it. [13:12] At all. [13:14] So, that's what Rubio was referring to [13:15] in his when he was talking um in in [13:18] Congress [13:19] a couple weeks ago. And as of right now, [13:21] by every available report, Turkey still [13:24] has the S-400 sitting in its warehouses. [13:26] It hasn't turned them on, but it owns [13:28] them, and that's what the law says. They [13:30] can own them. [13:31] Now, I want to back up about, you know, [13:33] over 20 years and lay out the whole [13:35] story from the beginning so that you [13:37] really understand where we are. [13:39] In 2002, Turkey joined the F-35 program [13:42] as one of the original eight [13:43] international partners. [13:45] They invested over a billion dollars, [13:47] and they were planning to buy over 100 [13:48] jets. They were one of the partners. [13:51] Turkish companies [13:52] uh manufacture ended up manufacturing [13:55] about 1,000 different F-35 components. [13:57] They were This was They were The [13:59] original countries involved participated [14:02] in the manufacturing and the development [14:04] of the jet. [14:06] Fast forward to 2016. [14:08] This is This is a key. In July 2016, [14:12] a a a faction inside the Turkish [14:15] military attempted a military coup. [14:20] They attempted a coup against Erdogan. [14:23] They bombed the parliament. They tried [14:24] to kill him. The coup failed. But, [14:27] Erdogan came out of it [14:29] um [14:31] basically suspicious of his own [14:33] military, of his own air force. [14:36] And that's where the plotters had been [14:38] the strongest. So, there are some [14:40] analysts who think that the that that's [14:42] why the very next year Erdogan jumped at [14:44] Putin's offer [14:46] to sell him the S-400, and that it [14:48] wasn't only for defense against outside [14:50] enemies, but as insurance against his [14:52] own military ever trying that again. [14:54] Okay, that aside, in 2017, this is the [14:57] key to the chronology. In 2017, Turkey [15:00] signs a deal for four S-400 batteries, [15:04] roughly $2.5 billion deal with uh [15:08] you know, and that's a deal with the [15:09] Russians. Okay, so that he buys the [15:11] S-400s. [15:13] 2018 and '19, the US spends over a year [15:16] trying to talk Turkey out of it, out of [15:18] this deal with the Russians. They even [15:20] offered Patriot missile systems as an [15:22] alternative. [15:23] Erdogan refused every time, and in one [15:25] of those moments he told reporters [15:26] flatly that it's a done deal. [15:29] So, the first S-400 components arrive in [15:31] Turkey in July 2019, and boom, right [15:35] away, within days, the US removes Turkey [15:38] from the F-35 program. [15:41] Okay? [15:42] 2020, Congress imposes sanctions on [15:45] Turkey's defense procurement agency, [15:48] and they meaning freezing assets, [15:50] banning exports, [15:51] the works. In practice, it meant that [15:53] Turkey's own defense industry was cut [15:56] off from American export licenses and [15:58] loans. Its top defense officials [16:01] personally lost access to the US [16:03] financial system. Pretty serious. [16:06] Fast forward again, 2021 to 2024. [16:11] Biden administration, Turkey tries [16:13] repeatedly to find a workaround. Their [16:15] defense minister, Hulusi Akar, proposes [16:19] a a model that he calls the Crete model [16:21] to sell the S-400s that they have to a [16:24] different country. Uh we'll get rid of [16:26] them. We'll sell them to a different [16:27] country. [16:30] Um Cyprus once did this. They sold their [16:33] They had a Russian system, and they sold [16:35] it to Greece, [16:36] who then put it in storage in Crete. So, [16:38] the US said, "No, that that won't that [16:41] won't fly." [16:43] Turkey then bought F-16s, which Biden [16:46] approved in 2023 [16:49] as a payoff to Turkey [16:52] for Turkey uh allowing Sweden into NATO. [16:55] Turkey originally was going to block [16:57] Sweden's joining of NATO, [16:59] and Biden agreed to sell them F-16s in [17:03] exchange for Turkey not blocking Sweden [17:05] joining NATO. So, they got F-16s. [17:09] Uh Turkey in in this time period, Turkey [17:11] also unveils its own homegrown stealth [17:13] fighter, the Kaan, [17:16] which uh [17:17] well, which runs on American engines. [17:20] And here's the part that matters most [17:21] for our purposes. Every time the US gave [17:23] Turkey something, the F-16 deal in [17:25] particular, [17:26] Erdogan did not [17:28] become like more in line with American [17:31] foreign policy. He escalated. He [17:33] escalated his rhetoric. [17:35] Uh after getting the F-16 fail uh sale [17:38] approved, he cut off trade and [17:39] diplomatic relations with Israel. He [17:41] called Hamas a liberation movement. [17:43] He was quoted as praying to praying that [17:46] Allah will destroy and devastate Zionist [17:48] Israel. So, selling him F-15s has not [17:51] drawn him or F-16s has not drawn him any [17:54] closer to Israel and to American foreign [17:57] policy interests in the region. [17:59] In 2025, Erdogan calls Trump directly. [18:02] This is last year, asking to be let back [18:04] into to the F-35 program and asking to [18:06] have the sanctions lifted. [18:09] And now we are in 2026, and Trump is [18:12] publicly hinting that he'll do something [18:13] that Turkey will [18:15] you know, that'll make Erdogan very [18:17] happy. [18:19] Vance says a review is underway. The [18:21] administration's reportedly moving ahead [18:24] with selling Turkey dozens of jet engine [18:26] engines for the Khan, for their stealth [18:29] fighter. [18:30] And meanwhile, Rubio is insisting that [18:33] the F-35 is legally off the table. [18:36] And the timing, as you saw in the clip [18:39] of Trump, has to do with the fact that [18:41] Turkey is hosting the NATO summit next [18:44] month. And that's what that report meant [18:45] when he said, "Are you [18:46] going to be heading out to Ankara with [18:51] a bag of gifts?" [18:53] And Trump said, "Yeah." [18:55] Trump's going to be there. [19:00] And let me explain why this is so [19:02] important for Israel. [19:06] Israeli and Turkish pilots [19:09] are both operating over Syria [19:11] right now, on a regular basis. [19:14] Israel has been [19:17] It's very important to Israel's [19:18] strategic interests, Israel's security [19:20] interests, that Israel retain its [19:22] freedom of operation over the skies of [19:23] Syria. [19:25] That's the corridor that Israel uses to [19:27] get to Iran. It's also important for [19:29] Israel to prevent any kind of build-up [19:32] of [19:34] uh uh weapons or air defenses in Syria. [19:37] Okay, so Israel's striking in Syria [19:39] periodically to deny weapons and bases [19:41] to the new regime. [19:43] And Turkey is trying to set up its own [19:45] military base deep inside Syria on a [19:47] former Syrian airbase within range, well [19:50] within range, of areas Israel considers [19:52] a red line. [19:54] The two countries have actually begun [19:57] preliminary deconfliction talks mediated [20:00] by Azerbaijan specifically because the [20:03] risk of accidental or or [20:04] not-so-accidental clash in the [20:08] airspace over Syria is real. [20:10] So, you have the Syrians and the [20:11] Israelis are both [20:13] they're in this kind of this power [20:14] struggle there in the airspace above [20:16] Syria. [20:17] Now, picture if in that airspace both [20:20] countries had F-35s. [20:22] Or or or picture Turkish Patriot missile [20:25] batteries, which the US had offered to [20:27] give Turkey as a consolation prize for [20:29] giving up the S-400s. [20:31] Imagine those ending up being deployed [20:33] in Syria [20:34] instead of on Turkish soil [20:36] preventing [20:38] Israeli aircraft from their freedom of [20:40] operation over the region. [20:45] So, there was a report from JINSA. JINSA [20:48] is the Jewish Institute of [20:51] of uh [20:52] of national security [20:55] for America. [20:57] And they published a report. [21:02] Right, they published a report. [21:08] The The flight risk Turkey and the F-35. [21:10] Here, let me pull it up here. [21:13] Here's the report. [21:15] This is the JINSA report, flight risk [21:17] Turkey and the F-35. They published this [21:18] last year. It's a 32-page report. No, [21:21] I'm not going to read it. Of course, I'm [21:22] not going to read it. [21:23] But, in the in the uh [21:27] in the end of the report, they make a [21:28] series of recommendations. So, I'm going [21:30] to read to you the recommendations they [21:31] make. [21:32] They talk about all the problems with [21:34] with uh [21:35] Turkey getting the F-35. [21:37] And they say, [21:39] "It appears the Trump administration is [21:41] favorably disposed to grant Turkey's [21:43] request if it insists on doing so. [21:47] We recommend that it only offer Turkey [21:48] re-entry into the F-35 program under [21:51] very strict conditions. [21:53] To wit, Turkey must They make five [21:55] recommendations. Meet US legal [21:58] requirements to get rid of the S-400. [22:00] Restore normal diplomatic and economic [22:02] relations with Israel. [22:04] End all forms of support for Hamas, [22:07] including allowing Hamas to raise funds [22:09] on Turkish territory. [22:11] Enter into a serious, preferably US-led [22:14] deconfliction mechanism with Israel over [22:16] Syria. [22:18] And respect Greek and Cypriot air and [22:21] sea territorial boundaries, [22:23] as well as their exclusive economic [22:25] zones. You see, the that's a that's a a [22:26] another ingredient in this story [22:30] is that the Greeks and the Cypriots are [22:32] also [22:34] very worried about Turkey getting the [22:35] F-35 and continuing its uh its its [22:40] its drive to regional dominance because [22:42] they're you know, they very much [22:43] threaten the you know, Greece and [22:44] Cyprus. [22:47] Uh they're not on friendly terms. [22:50] And Greece and Cyprus are very concerned [22:51] about the rise of Turkey, which is why [22:53] they signed a a a a defense and security [22:57] um alliance with Israel [23:00] at you know, towards the end of last [23:02] year. [23:03] So, it's not just Israel that's [23:05] concerned about this. [23:08] Here's where things stand. [23:10] US law says, "No." The Vice President [23:13] says, "We're reviewing how to say yes [23:15] anyway." [23:17] Erdogan has spent the last several years [23:19] the last several years proving that [23:21] every concession he gets is followed by [23:23] more hostility towards Israel. [23:25] And in a few weeks, Trump is going to be [23:27] standing in Ankara at a NATO summit with [23:30] this exact question hanging over the [23:32] room. [23:33] So, we're going to track this closely. I [23:34] think what happens at that summit is [23:36] going to tell us a lot [23:37] more than than anything said in [23:39] Washington this week. And this issue is [23:42] going to be in the headlines. It's going [23:45] to be talked about. It's It could get [23:47] contentious. [23:48] So, the story is far, far, far from [23:50] over. What I'm really just doing in this [23:51] video is setting you up [23:54] to understand what is taking place and [23:56] what's going to take place over the next [23:58] over the next little while on this on [24:00] this very important topic. Okay? I hope [24:02] that made some sense. Hope you found it [24:04] helpful. [24:05] And please continue to like, share, [24:07] subscribe, and all that stuff. Tell [24:08] people what we're doing on this channel. [24:10] Uh I read a lot of the comments and I'm [24:12] I really appreciate the comments, [24:13] especially when people tell me that they [24:15] find they find these videos so [24:16] informative and useful. [24:18] I know it's kind of a no-frills channel. [24:20] We don't have any, you know, like intro [24:21] music or, you know, fancy graphics or [24:23] anything like that. [24:24] Um but I'm always open to suggestions of [24:27] things that we could do to make these [24:28] videos better. [24:29] All right. Thanks a lot. God bless.
