1 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: I always love that song when I'm driving down the road. 2 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: That's one of my go to traveling songs. Put that 3 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: one on and it helps me jam. 4 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: If you're traveling down the road this morning, thank you 5 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: for listening. 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, hold on, I don't even know who 7 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 3: sings this song. Shame on me for not even know 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 3: who sings rambling, traveling man, rambling gambling man, rambling gambling man. 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 4: I don't even know the name of the song. 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 3: I mean, I know the song, I'm familiar with it, 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: but obviously some specific details are lost on me. 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 5: Bob Seger, of course I should have known that. 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 3: Gosh, I should have been able to recognize that from 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: his voice. Rare Bob Seger w on that one. I'm 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: not usually a big Bob Seger fan. He's gotten about 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: two or three songs that I like, and they're not 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 3: his most old time rock and roll. Deaf definitely not 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 3: one of my favorite Bob Seger songs. I've heard it 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: every single day for the last forty years. 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 5: Every wedding reception you ever got. 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 4: I'm a little sick of old time rocket roll. 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 5: But there are a. 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: Couple Bob Seeger songs that I like. I forgot that 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: one was his and I do like that one. 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: We appreciate you listening this morning. My name is Kasey Daniels, 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: your reluctant host. That is my reluctant husband. 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: Good one, Jim. 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 5: And the answers are no yes and I don't know. 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 4: What's a question. 30 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. The answers are still no yes, and 31 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. Just go with it, Okay, got it. 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: Let's talk about what's going on with Savannah Guthrie and 33 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: her mom. This is the weirdest thing, so her mother, 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie, host of the NBC Today Show. Her mother 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: has disappeared and she's been missing, and Arizona authorities they 36 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: believe that she was taken against her will from her 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: Tucson home. This happened over the weekend and law enforcement 38 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: you probably heard, they found blood in DNA evidence at 39 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: her home and her belongings, her phone, her car, her wallet, 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: they were all left behind and the Pima County Sheriff's 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: Office are working with the FBI. There are no suspects, 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: no confirmed suspects or leads. However, you've got Ashley Banfield, 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: who was a former host of Banfield on News Nation 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: she is reporting that the brother in law, the son 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: in law might be a prime suspect, brother in law 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: of Savannah Guthrie, son in law of Nancy Guthrie, that 47 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: he might be a suspect. 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the This is obviously a high profile case, 49 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: and this story is really catching, you know, social media 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: by storm just because it's so terrible and riveting and shocking, 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: and you know it involved somebody that's a high profile 52 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: television personality. 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: But that's also so think about this. 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: That's also probably got the authorities a lot more buttoned 55 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 3: up in this. So if Savannah Guthrie were not tied 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: to this case, it wouldn't be as nearly high profile 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: as it is, and we'd probably be getting a little 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: bit more information out of authorities about this. 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 5: You think they're being tight lipped because of who her 60 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 5: daughter is, Well, I. 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: Think they're being tight lipped because of all the attention. 62 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: Anytime the entire nation's eyes go on you and whatever 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: it is you're doing, all of a sudden, you're going 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: to start to puck her up a little bit and 65 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: be a lot more careful on things. So I think 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: that we've got some issues here where maybe law enforcement 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: you know, are being a little bit more tight lipped 68 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: on information, and we know what that does. We know 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: that when there's a vacuum, people are going to fill 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: that vacuum with crazy, wild assumptions, and that's what's happening 71 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: in this case. But yeah, there is this issue that 72 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: and what some people are taking with that is, of 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: course it gets tied immediately to Jeffrey Epstein. There's some 74 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: connection there where Savannah Guthrie had done some. 75 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: Reporting on it, she had done some interviews with some 76 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: of the victims. 77 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: And there's been reports that her husband worked for a 78 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: company that may have done some business with Jeffrey Epstein. 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: So of course everybody immediately go to a Jeffrey Epstein connection, 80 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: which at this point in time in the information we have, 81 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: is a little bit ridiculous. 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 5: I think it's premature. 83 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: I think it's way premature. Go back to how you 84 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: started this conversation out and said that there are reports 85 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: out there that police are looking at potential family members 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: as a person of interest. That makes the most sense 87 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: if you look at crime statistics, the vast majority of 88 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: crimes that take place like this, the victim knows the 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: person that did the crime, that's what happened. 90 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: That's why whenever there's this. 91 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: You know, and we see this on the ID channel 92 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: and all the other shows that focus on true crimes. 93 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: You know, when a spouse is killed, they generally look 94 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: at the spouse, the other spouse that involves in it, or 95 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: they look at family members. And I think that that's 96 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: what authorities are probably doing in this case. And again 97 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: we don't know much about this, but that's probably the 98 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: direction they should be taking, because most victims of violent 99 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 3: crimes know their attackers, and so you start with the 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: people that they know. And so the fact that they're 101 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: looking at a family member right now makes the most 102 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: sense the idea of bringing Jeffrey Epstein into this. Look, 103 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: everything's not a conspiracy. Sure a lot of them have 104 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: come true. Sure there are some things that are conspiracies 105 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: and they prove out. But can we give it a minute. 106 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: You just give me two seconds to get my head 107 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: above water, and the authorities to get their head above water, 108 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: to do some investigating here before we jump on everything. 109 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: You last night said something to me about oh, this 110 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: and that and the Epstein files, and I think my 111 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: response was, you know, right now, everything that I see 112 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: that has the word Epstein Files in it. My initial 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 3: reaction is, that's not true. You're questioning everything that's not true. 114 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 3: Because there's so much fake stuff on social media and 115 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: there's so much different information and wild conspiracy theories about 116 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: what's going on with the Jeffrey Epstein files. That everything 117 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: I see about it immediately, my first reaction is that's 118 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: not true. And then after some time I do some 119 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: investigation into it, I find out get some more credible reports. Okay, fine, 120 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 3: this segment of what's being discussed and regarding the Jeffrey 121 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: Epstein files, maybe true. 122 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 4: That looks a little bit more reliable. 123 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: But all the rest of this stuff out there, I'm 124 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: gonna throw it out the window and ignore it for now. 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 2: Well, Nancy Guthrie, she does require some daily medication that 126 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 2: makes the issue more urgent, finding her much greater. Savannah 127 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: Guthrie has publicly asked for prayers and support for her 128 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: mother's safe return. NBC increasing security at the Today Show 129 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: studios over these concerns. Savannah Guthrie reportedly bowing out of 130 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: the Olympics. She was supposed to be doing some coverage 131 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: and now she's not going to do that. TMZ has 132 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: reportedly been sent an alleged ransom note is from an 133 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: unknown person or person's and they've demanded payment in exchange 134 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: for her release. And it's so interesting that they want 135 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: payment in bitcoin. 136 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that has become and you see this 137 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: a lot more with countraceable. Yeah, that's exactly right. You 138 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: see this, you know, demand for bitcoin. You see that 139 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: a lot when it comes to cyber ransom. So, for example, 140 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: we've had there's been a lot of stories where, for example, 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: a medical facility, a hospital, some hackers break into their system, 142 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: the hospital can't access any of their files. The people 143 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: that did the hacking want a ransom of bitcoin in 144 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: return to return the access to the hospital. We've seen 145 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: a lot of stories like that, and again it's because 146 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: cryptocurrency is virtually untraceable or really really hard to find 147 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: out you know, who owns it and where it's being 148 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: used and functioning. So that is kind of the standard 149 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: these days that when you see anything about that relates 150 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: to a ransom, all of it wants to be paid 151 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: in some sort of cryptocurrency. 152 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: My mind keeps going to my own mother, she's yeah, 153 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: pretty much the similar age and thinking about the security 154 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: of where she's at now, Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother, 155 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: living in a home, her residential place, not in a 156 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: senior living establishment. But that does make me wonder, like, 157 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: you know, okay, these seniors do they have enough security 158 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: that they're supposed to be having. And also if that 159 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: happened to my mom, I would be moving heaven and 160 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: Earth of course. 161 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 162 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: And Savannah Guthrie is you know, not on the Today 163 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: Show right now and understandably so. And she's gone to 164 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: Arizona to try and you know, be there to support 165 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: the rest of the family and be with the rest 166 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: of her family and do anything she can to help 167 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: this investigation proceed. 168 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: It really is. 169 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: It's a you know, it's a true crime story happening 170 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: right before our very eyes in real time. It's fascinating 171 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: about this. There have been some reports that have come 172 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: out talking about how, you know, her mom apparently had 173 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: a pacemaker that linked to her Apple watch, and the 174 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 3: Apple watch and the pacemaker stopped talking to each other 175 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: sometime Sunday evening or early Monday morning. I wouldn't read 176 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: too much into that, because if you think about it, 177 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: a pacemaker a lot will keep functioning after a person 178 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: passes away, because the assumption is, oh, the pacemaker and 179 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: the apple watch aren't talking to each other, that's a 180 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: sign that the person may no longer be alive. 181 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 4: Not really, this maker. 182 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: Could be still going. It could be that the Apple 183 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: watch is not around. 184 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 3: Right, So pacemakers usually keep functioning even after somebody passes away. 185 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: So the fact that a pacemaker and the watch aren't 186 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: talking to each other. Also, if the watch was just 187 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 3: separated by a certain distance from the person with the pacemaker, 188 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 3: they're also going to stop talking to each other because 189 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: obviously they talk electronically and wirelessly. But there's just a 190 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: lot of details. I think there's a massive amount of 191 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: speculation out there about this. Certainly, our hearts go out 192 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 3: to Savannah Guthrie and her family because it is a 193 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: tough time, and like you said, you know, we think 194 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: of our parents in times like this, and. 195 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 5: If you were in that sentence, and if you were 196 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 5: in this. 197 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: Situation, and how awful it would be, and how you 198 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: would rush to their you know, rush to the location 199 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: and do everything you can to be supportive and be 200 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: helpful in the process. 201 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: So the partial US government shutdown ended after about four 202 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: days and we're going to get to that coming up. 203 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 5: It is ninety three w IBC. Good morning. The partial 204 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 5: government shutdown has ended. 205 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: This after four days, Congress passed the one point two 206 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: trillion dollar spending bill. 207 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 5: President Trump signed it. The House approved the bill. 208 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 2: It was razor thin, two hundred and seventeen to two 209 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen. And that just shows you how divided 210 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: Congress remains. Victorious Sparks, she voted against the deal to 211 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: end the government shut down. 212 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, she bucked the Trump and the Republicans and went 213 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: the other way. And what's interesting on this is she 214 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: had come out before and said that she was going 215 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: to vote for them. 216 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 4: And at this point in time, this is a. 217 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: Trend with Victoria Sparks, no kidding, Okay, So you know, 218 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: at some point you got to sit here and you know, 219 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame 220 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 3: on me. 221 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: You know, she did this. 222 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 3: She said that she was not going to run for reelection, 223 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: and then she ran for reelection. She said that, you know, 224 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: the whole when this this Speaker of the House issue 225 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: happened with Kevin McCarthy, and she was all over the 226 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: place on this. It is almost like we're living in 227 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 3: an episode of Seinfeld and George Costanza where he ended 228 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: up doing the opposite of what he would say. 229 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: That is victorious spart salad on rush? 230 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 3: What chicken salad? A whitebread untoasted, Yeah, with a cup 231 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 3: of tea. That's what we've got to expect from Victoria's sparts. 232 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: Which she says something, we need to go into it 233 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: and assume, oh, she said this, that means she's going 234 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: to vote the opposite of that, and that's exactly what 235 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 3: she did here. 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: So this package is going to fund most of the 237 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: federal government through September thirtieth of twenty six, only give 238 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,479 Speaker 2: us the Department of Homeland Security temporary funding until February thirteenth, 239 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 2: they say, is to allow more negotiation on immigration policy. 240 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: So what it means is they're going to have to 241 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: go back to this again. What will the Democrats use 242 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: as leverage this time? 243 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, assume, what's the number one thing on 244 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: all Democrats' minds right now? It is ICE And that's 245 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: what this was over. It was about funding for the 246 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a group 247 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: part of that, and so they were trying to end 248 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: that despite the fact that ICE in the Department of 249 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: Homeland Security got massive increases in funding during the big 250 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 3: beautiful bill that was passed last year. Trump and the 251 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: administration looking for even more funding for DHS and ICE 252 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: this time around. That's going to be what the Democrats 253 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: are gonna you know, That's what they're they're putting up there, 254 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: and they're saying that they're against this because of it. 255 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 4: But this seems a little you know, Friday night. 256 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: We had a partial government shutdown, and I think for 257 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: the most part, most people didn't even notice. Shoot, last year, 258 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: when we had a full government shutdown, most people barely 259 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 3: noticed in their daily lives. The only reason we were 260 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: aware of it is because it was constantly covered on television, 261 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: in the media, and in social media. So this partial 262 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: government shut down over the weekend was even less of 263 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 3: a big deal. All of this just seems like, again 264 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,479 Speaker 3: as most things these days, just a lot of performative 265 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: political theater. Everybody is just all up in arms about 266 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: what is really not much of anything, because the vast 267 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: majority of the government has been funded. Like you said, 268 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: we've got this agreement to temporarily extended what nine days 269 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: that we're getting nine to ten days out of this. 270 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: So this is going to be. 271 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: A topic that is part of the news cycle for 272 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: the coming weeks and could go even longer than that. 273 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: Well, one things for certain is that voters are going 274 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: to be watching the deal and remember who stood for 275 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 2: stronger borders and who prioritized political theater over the results. 276 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: And it's something that the GOP should lean into that message. 277 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: So you've got the Ten Commandments bill that is dead 278 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: in the Indiana legislator's halfway point. So the bill would 279 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: require the Ten Commandments in public schools. 280 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 5: It was going to be optional. 281 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: However, this bill did not advance past this key mid 282 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: session deadline, and if it missed the final deadline for 283 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 2: bills to get the vote, it's not going to move 284 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: into the chamber, meaning it won't proceed on its own 285 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: unless they revive some of the language into another bill 286 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: before the session ends. 287 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 5: They could tuck it into something else. 288 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, this is all going on to the State 289 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 3: House in Indianapolis. And keep in mind there are two 290 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: separate things that are going on as it relates to 291 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 3: the Ten Commandments at the state House right now. There 292 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: is this bill that we've been talking about and Originally, 293 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: the way this bill was written is it would require 294 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: every classroom in the state of Indiana to post a 295 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: copy of the Ten Commandments. 296 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: Okay. 297 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 3: And then obviously they realized, well, that's not going to 298 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: get passed. We're not going to get ough votes for that, 299 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: so let's modify it. And they said, okay, let's make 300 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: it optional for classrooms to post the Ten Commandments. And 301 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: now it looks like that's still not good enough, and 302 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: we'll see if it gets brought back. The other thing 303 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: related to the Ten Commandments, because this can be confusing 304 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: because it keeps getting brought up and they're both being 305 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 3: talked about at the same time, is the Ten Commandments monument. 306 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: There used to be a monument that had the Ten Commandments, 307 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: and it had a couple of other things, a couple 308 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: of other documents that were part of it. I want 309 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: to say, the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. I 310 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: can't remember the specific historical documents, but it wasn't just 311 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: the Ten Commandments. It was removed from the state House 312 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: years ago because of a lawsuit. Todd Roketa and Mike 313 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: Braun and some others have really been pushing to bring 314 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 3: the Ten Commandments monument back. So that's the other Commandment 315 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: story that's going on that's happening at the state House 316 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: right now. 317 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: So it could be considered as an opportunity lost and 318 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 2: other priorities could be moving forward. And it shows that 319 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: this was a watered down culture war. I mean, the 320 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: message that they were trying to put out there got 321 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: watered down by them making changes saying it's optional, and 322 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: now they're backing off, most likely because they didn't want 323 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: to face any sort of lawsuits. But there are also 324 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: neglecting bigger issues like taxation and education and border security 325 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: when they're spending time on that when it's not going 326 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: to pass, it didn't go anywhere. 327 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 5: They spend all this time on it and now nothing. 328 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously there were a lot of lawmakers that didn't 329 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: have the stomach for this. There's a lot of people 330 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: that are worried about, you know, the separation of church 331 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: and state, and there have been some other states. For example, 332 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: Oklahoma passed a similar bill that you know, puts the 333 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: Ten Commandments in school rooms in the state of Oklahoma. 334 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: There have been some court some court rulings on this 335 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: that have allowed certain instances of the Ten Commandments to 336 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: be included in government property because they view the Ten 337 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 3: Commandments as historical contest exactly, not necessarily a one hundred 338 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: percent religious document or item, but also has a cultural 339 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: and historical significance to it. And I think that those 340 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: court rulings are what the you know, the certain lawmakers 341 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 3: in the State House this time, State House this time 342 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: were hoping they could make a lot of sense. But 343 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: obviously there's very little interest for this bill because they've 344 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: gone from this you know, mandatory bill where it would 345 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: be in all the classrooms, and then we water it 346 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: down and it's optional, and now. 347 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 4: That's not going to work. I just don't see how 348 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: this comes. 349 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: Back in any way, shape or form during the current 350 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: legislative session. 351 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: So the next step for the IndyCar race in Washington, 352 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: d C. Is to partner with a promoter and Monumental. 353 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 5: Sports and Entertainment. 354 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: They're the ones who are going to be teaming up 355 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: with IndyCar to promote this event that's going to be 356 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 2: taking place. They have a date twenty first through August 357 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: twenty third in Washington, d C. We're talking about the 358 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: race around the National Mall. This is all part of 359 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: the Freedom two hundred and fiftieth Birthday celebration for the 360 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: United States of America. 361 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're going to be hearing more about 362 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 4: this last year. 363 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: You know, we know that there's been a UFC fight 364 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 3: that's going to be scheduled to happen on the lawn 365 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 3: of the White House. They're moving forward with this IndyCar race, 366 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 3: which seems to be there's a lot of support of this. 367 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: If your name's not Chuck Schumer, there seems to be 368 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: a lot of support for this IndyCar race. A lot 369 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: of the drivers and owners have come out in support 370 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 3: of this. I saw a graphic that showed a potential 371 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: map of the race around the monuments. It looks amazing. 372 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 3: It would just be fantastic to watch on television. So 373 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: hopefully this moves forward, and I think this is not 374 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: the only thing that we're going to see there. Donald 375 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: Trump met with all of the commissioners of the Big 376 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: four sports leagues in the United States to talk about 377 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 3: other ways to incorporate their sports into the America two 378 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 3: fifty Celebration of the Freedom two fifty celebration that's going 379 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 3: to be taking place in Washington, DC this summer to 380 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of signing of 381 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence. 382 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 5: So monumental sports and entertainment. 383 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 2: They own the Washington Capitals, the Wizards, and the Mystics. 384 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 2: They're going to handle the marketing, the sponsorship, and also 385 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 2: the corporate hospitality for the weekend. And this race was 386 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 2: established by Donald Trump via executive order. So this directs 387 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: the Departments of Interior and Transportation to designate the course 388 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: through DC and the race is going to be televised 389 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: on Fox Sports. It's going to aim to showcase the city. 390 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: But you have to wonder, is this really what an 391 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: executive order should be used for? Are we mandating patriotism? 392 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 2: Patriotism by the president saying this, You know. 393 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: I don't know if I would take it so far 394 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: as to say it's mandating patriotism, But look, I think 395 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: it's a good idea that we celebrate the two hundred 396 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of this nation. That's 397 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 3: a good idea. I think Donald Trump is putting a 398 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 3: lot of weight behind that. If you remember, I was 399 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: too young to remember, but when we had the bi 400 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: centennial in nineteen seventy six, there were a lot of 401 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: celebrations both that were supported by the government and by 402 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: private institutions and entities that we're getting behind this. I 403 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 3: think we're seeing something similar this time. There is a 404 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: time and place to celebrate our culture, our history, and 405 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 3: the birthday of America. And if it's Donald Trump running 406 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 3: the show, you know it's going to be the biggest 407 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 3: and greatest celebration the America has ever seen. 408 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 409 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: Well, some critics are saying that it's just a gimmick 410 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: and these events are just a thing to boost cultural 411 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: confidence and it's not something that the government should be involved. Hey, 412 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: you know what, if President should not be issuing an 413 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 2: executive order to make it happen. 414 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: If two men fighting in a steel cage on the 415 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 3: lawn of the White House is a gimmick, then fine, 416 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: I'm all for gimmicks. 417 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 4: Gimme more of than sign me up. You know what 418 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 4: else I want? 419 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: I want the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics 420 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: playing an outdoor bas s football game on top of 421 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: the reflecting pool between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. 422 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: That's what I want. Next. 423 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 3: Where are they going to play a football game? Where 424 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 3: are we going to get a baseball game. I want 425 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 3: a hockey game as part of this too. Bring them 426 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: all in, celebrate it, have some fun. 427 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: The race is going to be free to the public 428 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: and it is tied to the country's semi quinn centennial. 429 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 4: I'm so proud of that word. 430 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 3: I'm proud of you that you can pronounce that, because 431 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: every time I try to pronounce that, I screwed up 432 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: and get it wrong. 433 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 5: It is ninety three WIBC dogs in the state House. 434 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: Today would be an excellent day for Alfie the State 435 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: House dog to come give me some emotional support. 436 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to hug on a dog right now. 437 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: If you don't know, there's an employee at the state 438 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 3: House that actually brings her dog to the State House 439 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 3: a lot of times. 440 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: And his name's Alfie. 441 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 3: He's got his own social media accounts and he's just 442 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 3: about the best thing ever. 443 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a he's a good boy. 444 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 4: He's a big dog too. 445 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 3: He's a big dog and the doodle right, you know what, 446 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure, but I'm all for anything that 447 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: brings more dogs into the State House. They could use 448 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 3: a little bit of levity, fun and enjoyment of life 449 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: that dogs usually bring. 450 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: Remind those lawmakers to be real people. 451 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: So two rescue beagles were brought to the Indiana State House. 452 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: This was in support of House Bill twelve o three. 453 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: It was nicknamed Sonny's Research Adoption Bill, and the bill 454 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 2: would have required research labs to offer dogs and cats 455 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: for adoptions once they were healthy and no longer needed research. 456 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 5: However, the bill never received a hearing. 457 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 2: It's effectively dead and it has stalled this Uh, it 458 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 2: never made it out of the House Agricultural and Rural 459 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 2: Development Committee. 460 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: What kind of monsters see these adorable beagles at the 461 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: State House now and don't move a bill like that forward. 462 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 3: I'm kidding just a little bit. I'm sure I don't 463 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 3: know the details of the bill. There may be some 464 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: real valid reasons why it shouldn't move forward, But man, 465 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 3: that's got to be tough to say no to some dogs. 466 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 4: They're just big sweeties. 467 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: They just wanted to be petted and just lick your 468 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 3: face at the State House. 469 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 5: Just beloved. Yeah. 470 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 2: The bill's sponsor argued the animals deserve a full life 471 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: once their work is done, and they brought in Sunny 472 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 2: and Pete, who were both rescued from a now closed 473 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: Virginia dog breeding facility. 474 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 5: Ah, just the sound of that. 475 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: A dog breeding facility that's main goal is to have 476 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: dogs for research for research. Yes, yeah, okay. 477 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 5: So what's the problem here? 478 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: The bill never got a hearing, it had bipartisan support. 479 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: Is it because the legislature is focused on bigger priorities? 480 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 5: We know that's not true. See the Portenderloin Sandwich. 481 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 4: Bill State Sandwich. Let's do it. 482 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: But I guess you could say that you can't mandate 483 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: adoption requirements. It could create some unintended burdens regulatory issues. Sure, 484 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: we know adopt animals, right, the conservatives already We already 485 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: know that. 486 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, And like I said, there could be some very 487 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: good reasons that this bill moves forward. But this story 488 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 3: made for some great pictures and some great social media 489 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: posts of seeing these cute dogs walking around the state House. 490 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: And I think it was a brilliant idea by the 491 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 3: supporters of the bill to actually bring the dogs to 492 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 3: the state House, because, like I said, I see that dog. 493 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: Going to be tough for me to not push a 494 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: bill like this forward because I love dogs. But I'm 495 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: sure there are some reasons why this bill wasn't he 496 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 3: you're right. 497 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it does make some great pictures, but it 498 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: would require maybe a little bit more strategy, maybe a 499 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: little more substance. 500 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 5: Maybe that's what they were looking. 501 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: For well, and there may have been a bit of 502 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: that there, But I mean this is fairly common at 503 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 3: the state House when they're when the lawmakers are in session, 504 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 3: there are all kinds of people, whether it's lobbyists or 505 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 3: trade groups or organizations that are there. Sometimes it's just 506 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: a couple of people, sometimes it's hundred people. Sometimes they 507 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: bring dogs there, sometimes they don't bring dogs there. But 508 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 3: there are a lot of people always at the state 509 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: House when the lawmakers are in session that are trying 510 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: to influence their lawmakers for whatever position that they are 511 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: trying to push forward. 512 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: I'd be a sucker for that me too. I'm a 513 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 5: sucker for dog. If I were in there and they 514 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 5: were like, we really want to hasd this bill. 515 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: Look at this puppy. 516 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, whatever you want. 517 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 4: I love dogs so much. The bill might not have 518 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 4: anything to. 519 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: Do with animals or dogs, and I'd be like, sure, 520 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: pass it. As long as I get to pet this 521 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: dog for the next thirty minutes. I'll be completely happy 522 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 3: to push forward, whatever you want to push forward. 523 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: They also held a bagels and beagles and bagels event. 524 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 5: What you're gonna give me a puppy and feed me. 525 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: And a delicious onion bagel with cream cheese on it. 526 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 3: That sounds fantastic, But again, this happens at the state 527 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: House every single day. 528 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 4: There are people there that. 529 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: Are set up that are handing out coffee, they're handing 530 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 3: out food. They're just trying to get to the lawmakers 531 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 3: and the staff of the lawmakers to try and influence 532 00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 3: them them. 533 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: It's just it's. 534 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: One big constant marketing push that happens inside the state 535 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: House every single year. 536 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: Bring a dog in, that's emotional blackmail, is what that It. 537 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: Could be, Yeah, or you could consider that. That's why 538 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: I'm kind of surprised the bill didn't move forward. You 539 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 3: bring these cute dogs to the State House and everybody 540 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 3: kind of ignored it and said, yeah, I don't care, 541 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: they're cute. That's fine, but we're not doing anything with 542 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: this bill. 543 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: Former President Bill Clinton and also former Secretary of State 544 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton, they agreed to testify before the House Oversight 545 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: Committee this in the Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and 546 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 2: that agreement that came after months and months of resistance. 547 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: They denied subpoenas, they refused to appear, And now the 548 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 2: testimonies are set and they're going to be transcribed, and 549 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: they're going to be filmed, and it's going to happen 550 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: on February twenty six for Hillary and for Bill the 551 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 2: day after. 552 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 5: They won't be in the room at the same time. 553 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: They're going to have to get their stories straight before 554 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 5: they go in. 555 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really kind of surprised about this that the 556 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 3: Clintons agreed to you this, oh, that they agreed to Yeah, 557 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: because they are you know, there's still public figures because 558 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 3: of the positions they did hold. And let's not kid ourselves. 559 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 3: I'm sure both of them hold a significant amount of 560 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: power and sway within the Washington machine that exists, but 561 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 3: they're not in office anymore. I don't think either of 562 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 3: them planned to run for office anymore or be as 563 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 3: high profile. 564 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 4: As they have been in the past. 565 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 3: So I'm not seeing any reason for them to agree 566 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 3: to this to be to be part of this investigation 567 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 3: or this House Committee hearing as well. 568 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: Well, it's because there was a contempt of Congress vote 569 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: that was coming up, and so I guess they didn't 570 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: want to have to deal with that where. 571 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 3: They were potentially held in contempt of Congress because they're 572 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: not coming right coming to testify in front of Congress. 573 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: They've said that the pas, the previous subpoenas were invalid, 574 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: and they did offer some written statements and the Republicans 575 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 2: they rejected that and said. 576 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 5: No, you need to come in and do this. 577 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: But just like everything else that goes on with the 578 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: houseover Sight Committee, nothing comes of it. 579 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 5: Well, no, go in, they do this testimony. It's a 580 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 5: big show, and then what you're just gonna walk away? 581 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a reality TV show. And that's how 582 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 4: you've got to think of it. 583 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 3: And that's why the Republicans want this, Because the Republicans 584 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: want Bill and Hillary under oath so that they can 585 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: have their Josh Holly moment or or or you know 586 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: whatever senator House member wants to be on film with 587 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: them grilling the Clintons with a bunch of gotcha questions 588 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 3: to where they can turn it into a thirty second 589 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 3: video clip that'll go viral on social media. That's exactly 590 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 3: what we're looking at here. It is all political theater. 591 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 3: Nothing will come of this, Nothing of substance will come 592 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: of this, but you're gonna hear a lot about it, 593 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: because man, we're gonna see those clips. They're eventually gonna 594 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: get relief, and it is going to be sensational and 595 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 3: make for some very interesting social media content, that's for sure. 596 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: Lindsay Vaughn has crushed her final. She crashed in her 597 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: final down hill race. And this happened right before the 598 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: Winter Olympics, and now what's going to happen. She completely 599 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 2: ruptured her ACL. She says that she still plans to 600 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: complete compete in the Winter Olympics. 601 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 5: Listen to what she said. 602 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 6: Last Friday in Commonana in the last World Cup. I 603 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 6: completely ruptured my ACL. 604 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 5: I also have been losing which is a. 605 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 6: Common injury when you turn to ACL. Tessiniscal damage, which 606 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 6: we're not sure if that was pre existing or from 607 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 6: the crash that we have been doing extensive therapy and 608 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 6: consulting adoptors, been in the gym, and today I went 609 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 6: skiing and considering how many feels it feels stable. I 610 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 6: feel strong, my knee is not swollen, and with the 611 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 6: help of Anebas, I am confident that I can compete 612 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 6: on Sunday. 613 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: We had talked about this, how she was airlifted for 614 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: medical evaluation after she had that crash. She's still planning 615 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: to compete in the Olympics. 616 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 5: So, Okay, it's admirable. She's a tough fighter, she's clearly 617 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 5: a competitor. She wants to be resilient. 618 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: But at what point do you say, okay, enough, well 619 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 2: you're taking too many risks. 620 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 4: Well, she's forty one years old. That's another part of this. 621 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I think our first Olympics were the Salt 622 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: Lake City Olympics in two thousand and two, so she's 623 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: been part of a lot of Olympics. But I think 624 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: this speaks to the mind of these world class athletes. Look, look, 625 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: I mean, let's compare her for a second here to 626 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: my Michael Jordan, because I think there's a couple of 627 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: comparisons here, that absolute, psychotic driven desire of competitiveness that 628 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: lives in them. You're not going to be a world 629 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 3: class gold medal champion skier unless you're a little bit odd. 630 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: The type of drive and work ethic and mindset that 631 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: it takes to reach that mountaintop literally and figuratively in 632 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 3: this sort of thing is not normal. So most of 633 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 3: us that are normal and not not that competitive aren't 634 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: going to understand this. But she ruptured her ACL and 635 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: most of the time when you hear about that, you know, 636 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 3: this athlete ruption is ACL. They're out for an entire year, 637 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 3: and here she is a week later, planning on competing 638 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 3: in the Olympics. I compared it to Michael Jordan earlier. 639 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: You know, when she actually races, we could end up 640 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 3: witnessing the equivalent, the Olympic equivalent of the Michael Jordan 641 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: flu game. 642 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 4: It could be the greatest, this could be some amazing thing. 643 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: Look, this is gonna go one way, and there's still 644 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: time here, so I think it's still a possibility. You know, 645 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: she wants to compete. She's gonna say she's gonna compete 646 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: in this, but when it gets down to it, we'll 647 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: see if she actually does. But this is likely gonna 648 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 3: go one of two ways. It's either gonna go the 649 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan flu game way, where despite all of these 650 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: injuries and her body giving out on her, she's gonna, 651 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 3: you know, be able to compete and have this incredible performance. 652 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 4: Or it's gonna go the other way. 653 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: Well, she knows her own body right, she knows what 654 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: it can take, but not all comebacks are beneficial. She 655 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: could be blocking spots for other athletes now who could 656 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 2: compete and do just as well, if not better. Is 657 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: this a little bit of narcissism I can do it 658 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: the best better than anybody or does she actually know? 659 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I am going to be the best, even mildly injured. 660 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 3: But I think this comes down to what I said before, 661 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: is that insanely driven competitive attitude. Okay, yeah, if she 662 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: doesn't go, another athlete could go. But if if you're 663 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 3: that competitive and you're that driven, like Lindsey Vaughn is 664 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: the other side of that is, hey, if you wanted 665 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 3: a spot on the Olympics, be better. Yeah, you should 666 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,959 Speaker 3: have qualified for it like I did. Okay, I qualified 667 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: for it. I may be hurt, but I'm still gonna race. 668 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 3: If you think I'm taking your spot, then you should 669 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 3: have raced better and you should have qualified for the Olympics. 670 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 3: But like I said, this is gonna go one of 671 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 3: two ways. It's gonna be incredible. It'll be amazing even 672 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 3: if she just completes the downhill. She doesn't even have 673 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 3: to win a gold medal for this to be a 674 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 3: crazy good story or it could be the other side. 675 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: And I keep thinking back to the you know, the 676 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 3: early eighties and the famous ABC wide world of sports, 677 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 3: the agony, the agony of defeat, where you see that 678 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 3: downhill scare, take that awful, awful tumble in the in 679 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: the snow. 680 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 4: We could be witnessing that as well. 681 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: Lindsay Vaughan no stranger to just brutally awful injuries and accidents. 682 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 3: We've seen this before throughout her career. I remember, Jesus, 683 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: I think it was the two thousand might have been 684 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 3: the twenty twelve Olympics that she had a terrible fall 685 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 3: on injury. And I remember specifically her showing photos of 686 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 3: her leg after she had surgery. 687 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 5: Well that's when she had her knee replaced. 688 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 4: I think that was it. 689 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 3: Just these horrendous scars all up and downer leg this 690 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 3: you know, swollen and black and blue. 691 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 2: And knee replacement surgery takes a minute to get over there. 692 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 4: And that is that is. 693 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 3: That is no joke, knee replacement surgery. But this is 694 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: the mindset of these ultra top tier, high performing athletes. 695 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,239 Speaker 3: You are going to have to drag me off of 696 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 3: that hill or that court or that field. And that's 697 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 3: the only way I'm ever going to stop competing because 698 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 3: I've got that competitive driven spirit in me to such 699 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 3: a high degree. 700 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: It does feed though the narrative that you want to 701 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 2: win the prize at all costs, even if you're risking 702 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: your own long term health and legacy. 703 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 5: Like, I'm still going to go for it no matter what. 704 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 5: At some point you have to know when to step away. 705 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 3: But hey, everybody you know has their own decisions to 706 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 3: make in life, and if they want to make decisions 707 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 3: that other of others of us think are absolutely ridiculous. 708 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: I mean, we see this all the time with NFL players.
