1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Dan Mitchinson US correspondences with US. Now, Hi, Dan, Hey,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: hither on a scale of one to teen, how tough

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: was the time that the Boeing CEO.

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Had I guess it depends on how you look at it.

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: I mean, doesn't it because he's still going to walk

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: away with that thirty something million dollar paycheck. We're talking

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: about David Calhoun, who was before the Senate Subcommittee on

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: Investigations today and he apologized to the families of the

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: victims who died in the Boeing seven thirty seven Max

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: crashes or two more than five years ago. He hasn't

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: spoken directly, he said, to any of the whistleblowers who

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: have alleged to have taken shortcuts and jeopardize the safety.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: But you know, the big takeaway that I got from

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: this was the acknowledge that the company had retaliated against

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: employees who have raised safety concerns. And you know, many

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: of the families who showed up at this hearing said, hey,

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: there's got to be some kind of criminal prosecution. They

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: say the executives have been held accountable, and like you

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: just heard their outraged at Calhoun's salary, which is almost

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: three million dollars a year.

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so did he outline exactly what kind of

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: action they were taking against whistleblowers?

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: Uh, not exactly. I think he kind of talked his

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: way around that a little bit, but he has he has,

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, said that, okay, we did offer this kind

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: of retaliation and that could be a number of things,

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: from you know, a demotion in in your position to

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: being let go when they did a number round of

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: cutoffs during the pandemic. You know how these things work.

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: I mean, there's always a way around it without it

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: actually saying well, we're retaliating against it.

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. How did the apology go down?

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody, I think they took it at

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: face value. I think most of the people that you know,

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: thought it was just him, you know, saying what he

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: had to say. And you know, nothing's going to be

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: taken away from him. I mean, it's not like the

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: board or Boeing is going to cut his salary by

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: any means. But you know, there are changes at the

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: at the top, and I think there will be more

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: investigations into this. And not to mention, a lot of

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: people are concerned, especially going into summer over here, about

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: flying some of these aircraft.

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Jan is justin Timberlake having a hard time or something.

45
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with him. I mean,

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: he was arrested early this morning in sag Harbor, New

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: York for allegedly driving while intoxicated. And then a couple

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: of hours later he made his first court appearance and

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: he's he's been arraigned on one count of driving while

50
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: under the influence, and he was released without bail. I mean,

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, there's no big deal about that. Everybody knows

52
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: who he is and where he's going and whatever. And

53
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: according to the you know, a statement that the Hollywood

54
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: Reporter got, I guess there was an officer that saw

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: him failing to stop at a posted stops sign and

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: then he couldn't stay in his lane, and so they

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: pulled him over. And you know, oh, it's justin Timberlake.

58
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: And he had bloodshot eyes and he couldn't speak, and

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: he was slurred, and he filled all the sobriety tests.

60
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: So he was cuffed and taken in by police and

61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: he'll have another court appearance coming up on the I

62
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: think the twenty sixth of July.

63
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Apart from remember that there was that prisoner who became

64
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: a model after he was released because he was such

65
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: a hot apart from him. This is the hottest nug

66
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: shot yet, isn't it.

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't bad. I mean, I guess you

68
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: could say it was pro decently. I forgot about the

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: guy you just mentioned about until you said it.

70
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: I've got it filed in my head. Oh, it wasn't bad, Dan,

71
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: Who was better? How was your much?

72
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: One of the two? Oh? Gosh, you know if the

73
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: guy didn't smile that the first one he was okay,

74
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: there was something I can't remember if he was missing

75
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: some teeth or not when he smiled, or what it

76
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: was about him. It was kind of.

77
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Strange, but you know, fair enough. Hey, so what's going

78
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: on in Wyoming? Are they gonna They're not seriously gonna

79
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: lickt an Ai Bot as the mayor?

80
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Are they okay? There's I mean, the guy that's kind

81
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: of saying this is that maybe this is kind of

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: a stunt. But the question is can of bought powered

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: by artificial intelligence? We're on a city. So this guy

84
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: named Victor Miller says he thinks so. So he filed

85
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: paperwork for him in his customized chat bought named Virtual

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Virtual Integrated Citizen, which is VIC to run from air

87
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: of Cheyenne, Wyoming. So he filed out all the paperwork

88
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: and he says he's going to serve as sort of

89
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: an avatar for the box, so he'll do the ribbon

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: cutting stuff. Bot's going to handle all the decision making

91
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: if he wins and advances to the November election. But

92
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: there's a speed ump in this because the Secretary of

93
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: State of Wyoming says this is not legally. He says,

94
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: it is very clear that we have a law that

95
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: AI is not eligible as a candidate in any office.

96
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: But the guy that's trying this is saying, you know what,

97
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: this bot could be impartial, he could make somewhat rationalisms,

98
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: but then you have others that say, you know what,

99
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: data alone doesn't result in better decision making, especially if

100
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: you don't have real life experience or common sense, which

101
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: is kind of ironic when you think common sense and politicians.

102
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: But you get what he's saying.

103
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: Dan, thank you very much, appreciate it, mate, look after yourself.
