1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Richard Arnold, Happy Thanksgiving.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Ah, thank you, Mike. Yes, on this festival.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Day exactly before we get to that, where are we

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean I watched the press conference with the talent car.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean where are we at with the shooting?

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, a modern day reality is casting a bit

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: of a shadow on the celebration day as investigators are

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: looking into the background of a twenty nine year old

9
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: man who opened fire on two National Guards members just

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: a couple of blocks in the White House. Those Guards,

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: twenty year old Sarah bextraman twenty four year old Andrew Wolf,

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: were shot in the head, still in critical condition, fighting

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: for their lives. The shooter was a twenty nine year

14
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: old who worked with a CIA backed unit in Afghanistan

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: during the war. He was shot during this attack, but

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: he is expected to survive. We now find that he

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: drove cross country from Seattle, where he's been living, with

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: a plan to commit this attack. Apparently he was armed

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: with a three fifty seven revolver and after shooting one

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: Guard member, he opened fire again as that soldier fell

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: to the ground. So this was just grussen as has

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: a witness, a man named Patrick, who says he heard

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: eight or nine shots.

24
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: It was just shock the one that was closest to

25
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: me who was you know. I mean, I don't want

26
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: to make too many assumptions, but he was leading from

27
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: the head and the MPD officer was applying pressure to

28
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: his head. He was conscious, he was moving his arms around.

29
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 3: They were talking to him. I don't know if he's

30
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: responding back necessarily.

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully these victims will pull through. As for the shooter,

32
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: he had worked with the CIA in kender Heart in

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: what were called zero Units, which was a paramilitary force

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: plane trained for nighttime raids on teleivan targets, and who

35
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: also were accused by human rights groups of widespread killings

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: of civilians. He was one who around seventy six thousand

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: Afghans brought to this country and the chaos who surrounded

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: the American withdrawal of the shooter now is described by

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: someone who knows him as being disturbed by the operations

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: of that CIA unit and who have suffered from mental

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 2: health issues. We'll see what more emerges on this. President

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Trump is saying, I.

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Am determined to ensure that the animal who perpetrated this

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: atrocity pays the steeper passable price.

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, in a video statement, Trump is blaming Biden, while

46
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: new information shows it was the Trump administration that approved

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: the shooters a sylum application just earlier this year. Trump

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: also railed against refugees in that speech, refugees as a whole,

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: and he spoke out against Somalians resettled in Minnesota. Hundreds

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: of thousands of Somalians are ripping off our country and

51
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: ripping apart that once great state. You know, the suspected

52
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: shooter is from Afghanistan. He had nothing to do with Somalia.

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Was he eating the Swans as well?

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: Now?

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Celebration, I mean it's Thanksgiving time for some football and

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: some cake and some beer.

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: You were talking traffic. I'm traveling only a short way

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: today to have Thanksgiving with some friends, which on the

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: travel front is pretty good because this could be the

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: busiest travel day in this country's history. That's what they're saying.

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: Nearly eighty two million people beyond the movers, the expectation.

62
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how they do that count, but that's

63
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: what they're saying. Six million flying, seventy three million or

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: so on the road. The Turkey Day, of course, features

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: what you say, the big meal Turkey and cranberries and

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: pecan pie and so on. I don't eat turkey, he said,

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: seafood and side dishes and so on, and many others

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: are veering away from the traditional as well. Another friend

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: told me yesterday they're having pizza. I don't think the

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: Pilgrims did that. However, there are football games rostered, and

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: the biggest of the parades is playing out in New

72
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: York City, which is hosting the ninety ninth version of

73
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: their Macy's Parade, which began with Since the Arivo from

74
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: Wicked Salud, It's a new day, It's a new form fee.

75
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: They're also featuring Broadway performers, like this Cuban themed cast

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: from the Buena Vista Social Club. So Mike, ready to remember.

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Good on you, mate, You have a good one. We'll

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: catch up next week. Appreciate it very much. Richard Arnold

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: State Side Lions, Packers, Cowboys Chiefs. Imagine that the Chiefs

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: lose again, Ay season over. I reckon and the Cowboys

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: are on a roll. Raven Spangles. I'm not ably interested

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: in that one, but we'll see how we go.
