Gulfstream Aerospace

Also invested in Hybridge in 1998, New York reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

In 2006, Epstein had tried to withdraw his investment, which blossomed to $140 million, after he learned of accounting irregularities, including $3 million spent on Gulfstream Jet, which Zwarm claimed was purchased for him by the fund's CFO without his knowledge.

Zwirn's fund collapsed in 2008 after the Securities and Exchange Commission launched an investigation into its accounting.

One of the early investors that I introduced to Zwirn was Jeffrey Epstein, Dubin stated in a 2010 affidavit, as part of a later lawsuit over Epstein's lost millions.

We believe, you know, the owner of the horse, his name is Alan Paulson.

He's the one who built and manufactured and actually just made these Gulfstream airplanes, the jets, right? What they are fashionable today.

And he named a majority of his watches after checkpoints up there.

You know, that's the aeronautical thing, right? So we wanted to know why he named me Cigar.

See, we're learning something again today.

Right? The term cigar...

aviation refers to a popular pre takeoff or run-up memory checklist mnemonic used by pilots when the connection to areas aerospace aviation checkpoint also famously links to the naming of the legendary racehorse cigar who was named after an aviation navigation checkpoint in the Gulf of Mexico by his owner, Gulfstream Aerospace Magnet, Alan Paulson.

Right? In small aircraft operations, the standard cigar checklist stands for C, controls, I, instruments, G for gas, A for attitude, and R for run-ups.

And I was happy to have that.

Yeah, I think these ministers who want Gulfstream jets and say, "God told me that he's gonna give me that," well, God's not giving it.

It's coming through the offering of the followers, and it's just horrible that ministers have gotten away with this.

And I don't see that in the first-century, um, minister.

Really?

And there I was walking through the big hangar filled with airplanes, and I was ordering all sorts of valves and electronics for Boeings, and Gulfstreams, and Learjets.

Wow.

Okay, so it's a bit of a deep end there.

We turned out some older horses to freshen them up for the fall and the winter, and we had a lot of unraced two-year-olds, so we're just working on getting them ready to make some starts for this fall.

But, you know, the beginning part of the year, Gulfstream, we kind of hit the ground running and and finished out that meet very strong, won a lot of stakes at that meet.

And Keeneland, we won the limestone, the slay of the day.

She came back and won a stake at Saratoga and unfortunately had to be retired out of that race.

President Trump posted on Truth Social that Bombardier products, in his words, aren't good enough for the U.S. market, and declared that the Canadian planemaker would no longer be allowed to sell in the United States unless it starts building its aircraft domestically.

He went further, arguing that more than half of Bombardier's revenue already comes from American buyers, accusing Canada of blocking US banks and companies from operating north of the border, and claiming Canada had also blocked American manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business there.

He closed the post by urging Americans to, in his words, buy American and fly on American-built aircraft.

The timing wasn't random either.

And he would make side trips to D.C.

So like, you know, one time we were in New York and he chartered a Gulfstream and went with his female manager, Sheila, down to Capitol Hill.

And he walked in and it was the senator said, look, later he said this extraordinary guy very very intelligent walked into my office today he's wearing all black and he only has one name and it turned out to be senator jesse helms of of north carolina and do you know bono bless him he's a he really walks the walk he invited senator helms to his concert and and the media saw senator helm sitting there and he's turning down his miracle ear So Bono is amazing because he really knows what he's talking about.

And he's done his homework.
