So, last little segment here, uh, that we got before we pitched to Ryan's interview that he recorded yesterday.
Um, I'm going full conspiracy theorist on this.
I fully bought into the plot. I don't know what the plot is, but I'm going to tee this up and show you guys what came across my Twitter feed yesterday.
I ended up posting about it, and it was like my most viral tweet that I've had in probably a couple of years.
It got like 200,000 likes on it.
here we have a uh allegedly retired Vice Admiral Robert Hayward appearing on Fox News.
I'm going to play this clip here for you guys. I want you to focus on the bottom here where you can see what looks to be somewhat of a disconnect, a sharp jagged line at his neck that in my opinion at least when I'm looking at this slowly zoomed in here. It looks like it's completely disconnected from whatever's underneath what could be allegedly hypothetically a full-on sophisticated face mask that he's wearing on Fox News. Face and neck.
>> Mac, I think you're out to lunch on this. I think that's just a shadow.
>> Nothing to see here. I think it's just a shadow. Like, have you ever been in a studio and seen studio lighting? It can change your face a lot.
>> What possible justification could you have for owning that? >> Yeah. >> I don't want to know. >> I don't know what you're talking about.
This is just my face.
>> That was smooth, Crystal. That was smooth. Oh my god.
>> I was on a different screen. I came back. Didn't even see that. Ryan, what do you have there? Do you have something, Ryan?
>> I got this cat. >> This is my mask. >> That's your mask there. >> That one's hyper hyper realistic there. >> So, >> uh, anyways,
so this set off like a massive firestorm. I had people uh debating me on this. I had people trying to gaslight me.
Here was one of the pictures that somebody drew. They said, "Oh, look. You just don't understand how studio lighting works. There's a light >> diagram >> coming from the top and then there's a light coming from the side and this red part down here is allegedly where the mask disconnect is happening. I think that I have a better theory which is given the content of what he was talking about in that
>> pushing for war, right? >> Praising Donald Trump's handling of Iran, saying patriots are fully in control, we just maybe got to bomb them one more time and uh everything will be fine.
And and so my alternative theory to the other ones that people have been trying to explain this with is uh is this who's underneath that mask?
It is Benjamin Netanyahu.
This is the only reasonable conclusion that I think we could come to in this moment.
I I genuinely I mean I've tried to look back at it. I tried to zoom in. I did cross comparisons.
Maybe I can put this one up a comparison of him making an appearance on Fox News at a different time. And I just like I I can't get around it.
There's nothing in my mind that tells me that this looks the same.
Like okay, maybe to some extent there's a lighting difference, but like the details on the neck, you know, the versus the details on the neck in this one, the way talking wearing the same outfit. Well, I think it's a little bit different. Maybe maybe it is the same exact outfit, but
>> it looks like there's a t-shirt on, a black t-shirt on under the masked outfit. >> He's a lot shinier. He's a lot smoother.
The faith that the head >> eyes are set back. >> The eyes are more set back. That's I'm telling you guys. I'm telling you.
I have no other point of wearing a mask to look exactly like yourself.
>> Nobody else, Ryan, is that he's been swapped out cuz maybe he wasn't towing the line they wanted him to tow anymore.
So now they have brought in >> this mass. Do they really need this guy? Like they can't bring on some other guy to just par the exact same talking points.
>> I don't know. Weird as hell. That's where it loses me. I have no I have no explanation as to what would have motivated a fake sophisticated mask to be worn in this way. He's a military allegedly retired former vice admiral.
>> Allegedly. If you believe the mainstream media, >> if you believe the fake news media, >> to be clear, there is nothing in that video to suggest it is an accident of the lighting. There is something weird going on.
And Mac, I applaud your persistence.
>> I'm I'm doubling I'm tripling down. I'm not I'm not backing down from my position.
>> It's got to be the lighting. There's >> Or or it's Netanyahu. I don't know. Ryan's been off. >> It's definitely one of those two things. Those are the only explanations.
>> All right. Well, that's that's all that I got on this. I I got no other explanations.
>> Well, Mackie, you pointed out at least they've they've upgraded from what was
