1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Why now, Well, there's two reasons why now. The first

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone,

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: they were going to respond and respond against the United States.

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: It was automatic, and in fact it bare to be

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: true because, in fact, within an hour of the initial

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: attack on the Leadership compound, the.

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Missile forces in the South and in.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: The North for that matter, had already been activated to launch,

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: in fact, those that already been prepositioned.

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Secretary of Stave Marco Rubio revealing Iran already was preparing

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: to launch ballistic missiles. So we had to strike first,

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: and we had to strike hard. Romanticized restraint as virtue,

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: but in reality, waiting often just means you're outsourcing the

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: violence or the timing to someone else. And if you

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: genuinely believe that threat is real and imminent, choosing to

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: go first. It's not about ego, It's about ownership of consequences.

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: And guess what, the Trump administration is going to have

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: to own this one way or the other. No matter

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: how it ends coming up, we're gonna hear about Bill Clinton.

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: He testified with the House Oversight Committee. He was asked

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: about the now infamous hot tub photo. He testified that

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: he didn't know who the girl was that was pictured

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 3: next to him, but he did say where the picture

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 3: was taken.

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: This picture was taken and Brune and we flew one night.

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: That's on the trip to Asia, the last very long leg.

29
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 5: He said, we acting well.

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: My told team that was working on the age issue,

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: and and mister Epstein was there.

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: And we've also got Hillary Clinton. She testified as well,

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: Hillary can dodge Big Mama.

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 6: She's swinging for the fences.

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 5: When you saw photos of your husband in a hot

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: sebling on a beach and getting massaged by other women,

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 5: and you knew that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in some

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: of these trips and these things, that it concern you at.

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 7: All, I'm here not to offer my opinions. I'm here

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 7: to answer specific questions to the best of my ability.

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 5: When you saw your husband in these photos of young

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: women being massaged, what went through your mind.

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 6: I am not going to speculate you didn't have.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 5: Any feelings about young women massaging your husband.

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 7: I am not going to offer opinions or speculation about

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 7: anything that I have no context for and was not there.

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 6: She was going to speculate on her own feelings.

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: And finally, Japan has flying taxis.

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 6: As my.

50
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: Salassio, So the Red Hot Chili Peppers have nothing to

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: do with Japan have flying taxis other than the song

52
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: is called Aeroplane. I thought it was a good, good

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: moment to have the Chili Peppers on the show.

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, it matches nicely, And look, I love the fact

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 8: that Japan has flying taxis.

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: I think we got a little bit of work to do.

57
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 8: Based on the way I see other people drive on

58
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 8: the roads in America, I think we need to pump

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 8: the brakes on any flying taxis over here in this country.

60
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: They're just in the test phase right now.

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: But back to what Marco Rubio said regarding Epic Fury,

62
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: he said, we struck first because we knew Iran was

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: already preparing to launch ballistic missiles. And the uncomfortable truth

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: here is that morality isn't about who swung first. It's

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: about whether the threat was credible. And preemption becomes a

66
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: moral when it's driven by or annoia, pride or profit,

67
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: but when it's grounded in clear imminent danger. Waiting can

68
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: actually be more irresponsible. So let's talk about that. What

69
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: are some things that you do that are preemptive. Well,

70
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: you get your oil change in your car, that's preemptive, right.

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got I've had a colonoscopy before. That's preemptive.

72
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 8: I want to make sure everything is aoka.

73
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 6: Baby proof your house when you know a little one's

74
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 6: going to be around. Yeah, they're reemptive.

75
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 8: Those little latches on the kitchen, cabinet drawers and doors there.

76
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, everything, You put the little covers on the outlets.

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 9: Right.

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 6: You change your furnace filter, that's a preemptive move.

79
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 8: If you don't, your furnace is just gonna have to

81
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 8: work harder and you'll end up having to replace it sooner.

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: Sure, some people will quit before they're fired.

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: You can't fire me.

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 6: What lots of preemptive moves. So strike first.

85
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: It can sound brutal, but sometimes it's simply refusing to

86
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: let someone else choose the moment before you're forced to fight.

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 6: Now, the Trump administration, they pay the when after.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Multiple warnings, So they decided and now they're going to

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: own it.

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 8: Look part of this or at the very least, we

91
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 8: now know that the timing of this was based on opportunity,

92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 8: and who knows, maybe the whole invasion was based on

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 8: opportunity because Trump was still actively talking about negotiations. Now,

94
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 8: of course we sent a couple of carrier strike groups

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 8: to the Middle East, but we were still having negotiations.

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 8: But it looks like there was intelligence that Ayatola Kamane

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 8: and his trusted advisors were all identified to be in

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 8: the same building at eight thirty in the morning the

99
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 8: other day. And once we found out that information, we

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 8: figured out, jeez, that this is an opportunity that's too

101
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 8: good for us to pass up, and we better move

102
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 8: right now. And that's exactly what's happened.

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: So the US military has reported there are now six

104
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: American service members who have been killed so far in

105
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: the conflict. Two were previously wounded they have now died,

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: raising the total from earlier reports. You also had three

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: US fifteen fighter jets mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.

108
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 6: All of those crew members survived.

109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: But jad Vance was asked about this and he said

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: that there's just no way that Donald Trump is going

111
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: to allow the country to get into a multi year

112
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: conflict with no clear end in sight and no clear objective.

113
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: President Trump says that the military campaign could last four

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: to five weeks.

115
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: Afghanistan.

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 8: Some people say, up here we go again. Is that

117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 8: something here you're thinking about?

118
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 10: Well, Jesse, if you think back to Afghanistan, twenty years

119
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 10: of mission creep, twenty years of not having a clear objective,

120
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 10: and twenty years of the United States trying to bring

121
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 10: liberal democracy to Afghanistan. Iraq was a little bit shorter,

122
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 10: but we were still in that country for nearly a

123
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 10: decade with no clear mission, no clear definition. What's so

124
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 10: different about this, Jesse, is that the president has clearly

125
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 10: defined what he wants to accomplish.

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: And there's just no way.

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 10: I said this before the comp flick started, all repeated again,

128
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 10: There's just no way that Donald Trump is going to

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 10: allow this country to get into a multi year conflict

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 10: with no clear end in sight and no clear objective.

131
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 10: What is different about President Trump, and it's frankly different

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 10: about both Republicans and Democrats of the past, is that

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 10: he's not going to let his country go to war

134
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 10: unless there's a clearly defined objective. He's defined that objective

135
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 10: as a Ran cannot have a nuclear weapon and has

136
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 10: to commit long term to never trying to rebuild the

137
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 10: nuclear capability.

138
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: It's pretty clear.

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 10: It's pretty simple, and I think that means that we're

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 10: not going to get into the problems that we've had

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 10: with Iraq and Afghanistan.

142
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: Well, that's good to hear, because they're well aware of

143
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: how people are feeling about this. Yeah, most Americans, they

144
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: don't want this to be a never ending war.

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, we talked about it yesterday. And I get that

146
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 8: there are differences between what happened in Iraq in two

147
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 8: thousand and three and what's going on here in Iran

148
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty six. But all of us have really

149
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 8: good memories, and we all remember the years that we

150
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 8: lived through and all the servicemen that we lost, all

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 8: of the trillions of dollars that we spent on that

152
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 8: we don't want it anymore. But it does seem like

153
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 8: Donald Trump is taking a completely different approach on this,

154
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 8: very similar to the approach that he took with Maduro

155
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 8: in Venezuela. You know, tried to negotiate with Maduro, gave

156
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 8: him an off ramp, said, you know what, you can

157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 8: go to another country. And live out the rest of

158
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 8: your life. But we got to have somebody else in charge,

159
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 8: and he didn't like that. So, you know, he's sitting

160
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 8: in a jail cell in New York City right now,

161
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 8: and we've got his former vice president running Venezuela. Now she,

162
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 8: you know, figuratively into a degree, literally is running it

163
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 8: with a gun to her head being the American military

164
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 8: saying hey, you're going to run this. You run your

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 8: own country, but when it comes to what you do

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 8: outside of your country, that's our business. And I think

167
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 8: that's what Donald Trump's trying to do here. We took out,

168
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 8: you know, huge amounts of Iranian leadership, and Donald Trump

169
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 8: has said, look, the Iranians will find another leader, and

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 8: when they do, Donald Trump will do what he did

171
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 8: with Venezuela. He'll put a gun to that leader's head

172
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 8: and said, look, do whatever you want to in your

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 8: country inside your borders, that's fine. But when you start

174
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 8: doing stuff outside your borders, that's our business and we're

175
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 8: going to take care of it. And I think that's

176
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 8: the kind of the impression that Jadvance was trying to

177
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 8: give with his statement right there.

178
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: So you've got hesblah and Lebanon, who has launched attacks

179
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: on Israel, bringing Lebnon back into the conflict. Drone strikes

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: hit active British RAF base in Cyprus. You've got countries

181
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: like the UK, France, and Germany now all considering more

182
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: direct involvement. It's been interesting to watch that all of

183
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: these bases in multiple countries in the Middle East are

184
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: all being hit and those countries are now fighting back

185
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: against Iran.

186
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, my sense is, and I don't know this for sure,

187
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 8: but my sense is is that those countries and the

188
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 8: United States to a degree, were kind of surprised at

189
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 8: the way Iran responded. If Iran had just struck US

190
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 8: bases and US embassies in places like Kuwait and Saudi

191
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 8: Arabia and Bahrain and cutter, Okay, you can kind of

192
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 8: justify that and understand it. But Iran is absolutely intentionally

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 8: bombing civilian targets. I mean, they blew up the Kuwaiti

194
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 8: International Airport, that's a private, you know, public airport. They're

195
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 8: blowing up hotels, hotels, all sorts of other installments all

196
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 8: over the world, and I think that that probably surprised

197
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 8: a lot of those countries because I just kind of

198
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 8: got the sense that they were caught a little bit

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 8: flat footed on all of this.

200
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 2: I think it probably surprised the United States a little bit.

201
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,479
Speaker 8: And if you're if you're Iran, their strategic thinking was probably,

202
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 8: you know what, we're going to make sure all those

203
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 8: US allies outside of Iran feel some pain, and so

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 8: then they'll put some pressure on the United States to

205
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 8: maybe wrap this up suit as possible. But it's had

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 8: the exact opposite effect. It looks like that all of

207
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 8: those countries are now starting to gear up for absolutely

208
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 8: what they're doing right now are defensive positions, but it

209
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 8: looks like they may start taking some.

210
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: Offense offensive positions positions in this war whel and uniting all.

211
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: Of those countries against Iran. Is that an unintended consequence

212
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 6: of all of this.

213
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: It kind of looks like it. So far.

214
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 8: Now again, we're what you know, thirty six hours are

215
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 8: forty eight hours into that aspect of this military operation,

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 8: and things are moving really really quickly. And obviously there's

217
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 8: a huge fog of war that always exists in military

218
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 8: operations like this, but it does seem to be that

219
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 8: things are trending that way.

220
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. He's changed his mind.

221
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: He has shunned it in the past, but now Donald

222
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Trump says he will be attending the White House Correspondence

223
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: Dinner and he can engage with the press, and that

224
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: can be a really good look for him, as long

225
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: as it's paired with some really strong messaging. I think

226
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: it's highly inappropriate if he goes to the White House

227
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: Correspondence dinner, which is normally filled with levity, and he

228
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: gets up there and makes jokes at a time when

229
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: you have American service members dying.

230
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 8: Well, if you think it's highly inappropriate, I can just

231
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 8: about guarantee Donald Trump's gonna do that. I mean, Donald

232
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 8: Trump really, you know, has not cared about that sort

233
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 8: of thing in the past. But I find it fascinating

234
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 8: that he is coming back to the White House Correspondence dinner.

235
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 8: Keep in mind, it was famously the White House Correspondence

236
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 8: Dinner in twenty eleven when Barack Obamama, who by the way,

237
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 8: was president at the time, Donald Trump was attending as

238
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 8: a civilian. Barack Obama completely roasted Donald Trump in public

239
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 8: in front of everyone, absolutely embarrassing him because they had

240
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 8: this little back and forth. TIF because Donald Trump had

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 8: claimed that Barack Obama's birth certificate wasn't real, and Barack

242
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 8: Obama said, hey, my birth certificate's real. And now that

243
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 8: that matter is settled, you can go back to what

244
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 8: you're you know is important to you, like Aliens and

245
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 8: Roswell and who killed Tupac and Biggie and go back

246
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 8: to the Celebrity Apprentice where you're talking with Little John

247
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 8: and meat Loaf and Gary Busey. People credit that as

248
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 8: the point in which Donald Trump was so enraged and

249
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 8: so outraged at being humiliated like that publicly in front

250
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 8: of by Barack Obama is what caused him to run

251
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 8: for the presidency in twenty fifteen, and I i' ultimately

252
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 8: win it in twenty sixteen.

253
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

254
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: Here it is from April thirtieth, twenty eleven, the White

255
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: House Correspondence Dinner.

256
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 11: Donald Trump, let's here it tonight.

257
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 9: Now.

258
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 11: I know that he's taken on some flat lately, but

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 11: no one is happier, no one is prouder to put

260
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 11: this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald TP

261
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 11: And that's because he can finally get back to focusing

262
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 11: on the issues that matter. Mike, did we fake the

263
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 11: moon landing?

264
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 9: There?

265
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: You go.

266
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Donald Trump's got to turn this into his

267
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: own hypeshow and you know he will with lots of praise.

268
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's appropriate for all of the

269
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: jokes that have been there in the past. It's a

270
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: bunch of elite journalists gathering around, patting themselves on the back,

271
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: saying how great they are, and jokes by the commander

272
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: in chief.

273
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 6: Now is not the appropriate time to do that.

274
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: This administration needs to use the stage to articulate their

275
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 3: achievements and then defend.

276
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 6: Their policies and not make it one big jokathon.

277
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 8: Well, I can guarantee you that you know, whether Donald

278
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 8: Trump makes jokes or not, he'll use it as an

279
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 8: opportunity to rag on his enemies because he always does.

280
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 8: And that's traditional and classic Donald Trump's style. And I

281
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 8: would fully expect that a lot of Donald Trump's enemies

282
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 8: will be catching a lot of shrapnel at this year's dinner.

283
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: But you're right too, I mean, this is the biggest.

284
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 8: Group of self aggrandizing elitists that gather every single year,

285
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 8: all like you said, congratulating themselves, patting each other on

286
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 8: the back, everybody telling each other how great they are.

287
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 8: It's gonna be on full display as it always is.

288
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: So he's got to take the opportunity to challenge the

289
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: narrative of the bias press, and he's got to make

290
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: his case firmly rather than simply participating as a symbolic tradition.

291
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he can use it as an opportunity and

292
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: change the way the White House Correspondence dinner has been

293
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: viewed in the past.

294
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: But do you really think Donald Trump is going to

295
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: do that?

296
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 8: I mean, that does not meet his personality, in his style,

297
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 8: in any form or fashion.

298
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: No, he probably won't, but he should, but he should absolutely.

299
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he can use the moment for some real

300
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: conversations with the press rather than just having jokes about it.

301
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: So you also had Bill Clinton and he was testifying

302
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: in front of the White House Correspondence or before the

303
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: House Oversight Committee, and he said that Donald Trump was

304
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: not part of it at all. He pretty much vindicated

305
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: Donald Trump.

306
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: I hate this, but because I don't believe I should

307
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 4: inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impressions.

308
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 9: But since there was no follow up question, He's never

309
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 9: the president never as twenty something years ago, never said

310
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 9: anything to me to make me think he was involved

311
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 9: in anything improfitable regard to Epstein either, he just didn't.

312
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: That's the truth. But you know, as I said earlier,

313
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 4: the only conversation I have with President Trump about this

314
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: was in the early two thousands, and I have no

315
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: information that he did anything wrong. I just want it

316
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: all out there. I want everybody to get it all

317
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: out there and let everybody see where we are.

318
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: Clinton said he saw nothing, he did nothing wrong in

319
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: any of his past interactions, despite photos showing him with

320
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: Epstein and others.

321
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: He said that he did flew, He did fly.

322
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: Several times on Epstein's private jet, but he had no

323
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities at the time.

324
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 8: My favorite clip out of everything, and I watched a

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 8: ton of those clips from Bill Clinton that came out yesterday.

326
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 8: My favorite clip out of all of them. It was

327
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 8: actually part of when you played it in the opening

328
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 8: of the show where they were talking about the hot

329
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 8: tub and.

330
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: Who he was with.

331
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 8: And you can see if you watch the clip, Bill

332
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 8: Clinton is like pausing and he's looking at the photograph

333
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 8: and it's getting He's staring at it for an uncomfortable believe.

334
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: He looks like he's smiling like he said, oh, I

335
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: remember this time exactly.

336
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 6: He was like, thinking back to Lane.

337
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: That was fantastic, so much so that his attorney or whoever.

338
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 12: Is wrapt his hand take the photo away from him.

339
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 12: He's he knows he's being recorded, he knows that the

340
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 12: recordings are going to be shown to the entire world.

341
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 12: And even still he could not help himself in the

342
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 12: moment and think back and be like, man, that was

343
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 12: a great nice Yeah, I remember that very fondly.

344
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: So at this point, neither Bilt nor Hillary Clinton have

345
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with the

346
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 3: Epstein crimes. Bill Clinton, he was asked about Jeffrey Epstein

347
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 3: and why he likes him young. We'll get to that

348
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: coming up. It is ninety three WYBC. So there is

349
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: regulation in place. Does that mean private ownership is going

350
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: to be able to provide the capital needed to upgrade

351
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: and modernize energy infrastructure, and this especially as the demand

352
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: is growing for clean and reliable power. We got to

353
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: talk about this big story yesterday as it was announced

354
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 3: AES's parent company is being acquired by private investors Global Investors.

355
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: The AES Corporation, parent company of AES Indiana, has agreed

356
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: to be acquired and taken private. This is a consortium

357
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: of global investors.

358
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 6: What does this mean. It means Blackrock is buying AES.

359
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of people have a problem with this

360
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 8: and are suspicious of it, and rightly so. A couple

361
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 8: of things going on here. So AES currently is a

362
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 8: publicly traded company. You could buy stock on it, and

363
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 8: you know, it's publicly traded on the Stock Exchange, and

364
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 8: there's good things about that because there are requirements for

365
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 8: certain disclosures and shareholder rights, and there's some good things

366
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 8: by having your utility being a publicly traded company. And

367
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 8: now it's being bought by a consortium that includes Blackrock,

368
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 8: and people are very skeptical of Blackrock for very good reasons.

369
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 8: Keep in mind, it was Blackrock that in the last

370
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 8: ten years was the major pusher of DEI and corporate

371
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 8: green environmental initiatives at companies all over the country and

372
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 8: subsequently all over the world. Now, in fairness to Blackrock,

373
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 8: they have kind of walked a lot of those back

374
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 8: starting in twenty twenty four and more so in twenty

375
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 8: twenty five. But still call me a little bit suspicious

376
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 8: on that. So this has brought up a lot of concerns,

377
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 8: especially because we know we're paying more for energy than

378
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 8: we ever have before, and it's a major issue, and

379
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 8: it's likely that we're going to pay more going forward

380
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 8: in the future.

381
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: So the transaction, it's expected to close later this year

382
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: or in early twenty seven, it's going to need some

383
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: approvals and lots of conditions.

384
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 6: AES is said, saying that.

385
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: Going private will give it more financial flexibility to invest,

386
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: and they also say they don't expect utility rates to

387
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: change as a result of the sale. Of course, a

388
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 3: lot of people are questioning, does this mean that we

389
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: could have higher costs? Could this be hurting who's your

390
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 3: families and you've got this private firm. Are they going

391
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: to prioritize profits over local interests When it comes down

392
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: to it, that's what you ask. Okay, AES is being

393
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: purchased by this global conglomerate Black Rock, Does that mean

394
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to be paying more?

395
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: I did my due diligence.

396
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: I reached out to AEES and I asked if they

397
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: had somebody who would come on with us and do

398
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: a quick interview, and I in return received a paragraph

399
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 3: statement okay, and so I sent another email and said,

400
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: thank you for sending Is it possible to have a

401
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 3: representative speak on this as we are a radio station

402
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: and our audience will connect with a voice of a

403
00:20:59,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: real person.

404
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 6: And I even sent the specific questions, and.

405
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: Again it was received with a paragraph statement.

406
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 8: Was it the same paragraph statement? It was so not

407
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 8: even a change in response. Correct, They've got.

408
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 6: Their messaging and they're sticking to it.

409
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: I want to share with you some of the questions

410
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: that I was going to ask, and then I will

411
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: share with you the statements that I've received. The first

412
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: question was, for AES's one point one million customers, what

413
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: guarantees will this sale?

414
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 6: What guarantee can they give us that.

415
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 3: We won't have higher electric rates, especially once the company

416
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 3: is private and under pressure to return good results to

417
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: their global investors.

418
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 2: Reach great question.

419
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: The other question was if they needed capital, how much

420
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: of the investment is going to be tied specifically to

421
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: Indiana generation grid upgrades and reliability improvements. How much of

422
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: that money is going to come here to Indiana which

423
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: has been a problem.

424
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 8: So keep in mind, I mean we had an issue

425
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 8: with reliability problems here with AES customers, power outages, having

426
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 8: extended delay times. That's a great, great question.

427
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: Third question was AES says it will remain locally operated

428
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: and managed here in Indiana. What does that actually mean?

429
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 3: Will key decisions be made in Indianapolis or will they

430
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: ultimately go to investors in New York and Stockholm and cutter?

431
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 3: The final question, Indiana regulators are going to have to

432
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 3: approve aspects of the deal. What leverage does the iu

433
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: RC have to protect rate payers if their financial priorities.

434
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 6: Shift after the acquisition closes.

435
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: Hey, I would have.

436
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 8: Loved to have here heard somebody answer all these questions

437
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 8: are a great question.

438
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 6: Thank you. Here is the answer that I received. Are

439
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 6: you ready for it?

440
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: I am.

441
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 6: This transaction will deliver compelling near term value to stockholders

442
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 6: and better position AEES to drive sustained growth across its

443
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 6: business units, allowing the company to deliver relaf viable energy

444
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 6: solutions for customers and create long term value for our stakeholders,

445
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 6: including its workforce and local communities. For more information, please

446
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 6: reference the full press release below and our dedicated transaction

447
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 6: microsite at the Future of AES dot com.

448
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: I didn't hear an answer to any of your questions

449
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: in that statement.

450
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 6: That you have to go to the future ofaes dot com.

451
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: Maybe the questions will be answered there. Okay, fine, we'll

452
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: do that.

453
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: So you know, obviously, the concerns of profits over people

454
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 3: is real, especially when everybody's getting their utility bills and

455
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: we're hearing and seeing the increases and how much sway

456
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 3: will the iur see if any have over this transaction.

457
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, and look, I am a free market capitalist. I

458
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 8: believe that the capitalist system is the best system in

459
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 8: the entire world, and that we should let the free

460
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 8: markets work as well as they have always worked in

461
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 8: the history of this country. But utilities are a monopoly,

462
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 8: and it makes sense. You don't want five or six

463
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 8: different companies all running independent electric lines to every house

464
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 8: and business in the entire area. That doesn't make sense. Okay,

465
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 8: so we're going to have a monopoly here for this

466
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 8: utility company. So in that specific situation, then that company

467
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 8: needs to be heavily regulated to protect the consumer. And

468
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 8: that is my biggest fear associated with this. My other

469
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 8: biggest fear associated with this is that I know that

470
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 8: the utility lobbies are one of the largest lobbies that

471
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 8: show up every single year at the state House and

472
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 8: are consistently lobbying your lawmakers and the governor from their

473
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 8: company's perspective. Unfortunately, we don't have lobbies for us the taxpayers,

474
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 8: or I guess we do. It's called the voting booth.

475
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 8: So what we really need to see here and what

476
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: we're going to need to expect here is a significant

477
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 8: bit of regulation from the IURC on how this new

478
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 8: corporate organization and structure is going to protect the rights

479
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 8: and the taxpayers and the consumers of that product.

480
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Well, the one thing that concerns me about this is

481
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: that you've got this major global conglomerate and are they

482
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: going to be making decisions out of New York and

483
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: Stockholm and Cutter. You know that affects people here in

484
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 3: little Indiana.

485
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 2: Of course they are.

486
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 8: I mean, that's the way these multinational corporations and organizations work.

487
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 8: They'll make their strategic decisions at the very top and

488
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 8: then that'll filter all the way down to the bottom.

489
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 8: And again that's why our lawmakers in the IRC need

490
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 8: to be very careful about this.

491
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: Look.

492
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 8: I mean, like you said, there needs to be approval

493
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 8: and certain regulatory concessions for this to take forward. You know,

494
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 8: for this to move forward, anyway, So this is far

495
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 8: from a done deal, and if it does get to

496
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 8: be a done deal, we're going to need more regulatory

497
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 8: oversight going forward.

498
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and you could say that the regulatory framework,

499
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: rather than demonizing private capital, is what is going to

500
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: protect the consumers. But I question, Okay, they say the

501
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: needed capital, are the project's going to move forward? Were

502
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: they going to move forward without the sale like they

503
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: want to upgrade?

504
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think that were what if.

505
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: They didn't have the sale, they weren't going to upgrade.

506
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: So this is what was needed.

507
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 8: The existing utility companies lobbied very hard to our lawmakers

508
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 8: last year to pass that SMR build. Again, that was

509
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 8: small modular reactors, and it was on the surface looked

510
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 8: like a terrible deal for us. Look, these are not

511
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 8: displayed at the consumer level yet, these small modular reactors.

512
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 8: Military has been experimenting with them. That's great, but they

513
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 8: haven't been proven out in the civilian infrastructure yet. But

514
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 8: the bill basically said, hey, the vast majority of this

515
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 8: capital that's necessary to build these small modular reactors. If

516
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 8: they fail, the utility payers the consumers will end up

517
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 8: fitting the bill for it. Even if it turns out

518
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 8: that the technology doesn't work. I think it's things like

519
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 8: that that we saw from our legislature last year.

520
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: I think that there's been a lot.

521
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 8: Of questions that are going on, and I think that's

522
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 8: why a lot of consumers are uneasy about everything associated

523
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 8: with Yeah.

524
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 3: So you've got as Indiana also aees Ohio. They said

525
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: they're going to continue to operate as locally managed regulated utilities.

526
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 6: And I guess andy z A's got his work cutout

527
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 6: for him.

528
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, the new head of the IURC. I hope you

529
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 8: andy z A really wanted that job. He lobbied for it,

530
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 8: he interviewed for it, he gave up his lawmaker job

531
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 8: so he could be head of the IURC. And here

532
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 8: you go, buddy, you got a big project dropped right

533
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 8: in front of your lap on day one.

534
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: Practically, well, it's affecting one point one million people throughout

535
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 3: the state of Indiana. That's what I'm forced to use.

536
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: AES just got the bill last week.

537
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and this is the situation that we're in right now.

538
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 8: As technology keeps growing, the demand for energy is increasing exponentially.

539
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 8: And look, data centers are going to be built. Maybe

540
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 8: they won't be built here in Indianapolis. Maybe not in Indiana,

541
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 8: but they're going to be built somewhere in the country,

542
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 8: and that is going to put a significant strain on

543
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 8: our already strained electrical grid. And so yes, there's going

544
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 8: to be to have to have assive capital upgrades to this. Unfortunately,

545
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 8: we wasted so much of the last ten years on

546
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 8: subsidies for solar and wind and the ridiculous Green Deal

547
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 8: that has just failed us at every turn, instead of

548
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 8: investing in classic energy infrastructure. But now we've got this

549
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 8: massive demand with technology and AI in the energy demands

550
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 8: that they create, So now we're going to have to

551
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 8: throw all that money to upgrade our infrastructure and figure

552
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 8: it out.

553
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: The one thing that I would like to point out

554
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: in the response that I did receive from AES and

555
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that they responded, that was nice.

556
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: Hey, they got back to you not once but twice, actually.

557
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: Actually three times because I sent an email and they said, no,

558
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: you got to direct these questions so this person over there.

559
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 3: So I sent it over there and they gave me

560
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: this standard boilerplate response and then I said, no, no, no,

561
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: we actually want to hear somebody on the air with

562
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: us and these are the questions and then exact same

563
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: boilerplate response. But I just want to point out that

564
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: the very first sentence is, and I quote, this transaction

565
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: will deliver compelling near term value to stockholders. You didn't

566
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: You didn't hear for hoosiers, No, for rate payers, for consumers.

567
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: That was not part of it.

568
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 6: Near term value for stockholders.

569
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 8: And by the way, them sending you, them sending you

570
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 8: the exact statement twice is the corporate version of did

571
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 8: I stutter?

572
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 6: This is the answer? All right, you've been given the information.

573
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: This is ninety three WIBC. Well, it's about time.

574
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: I grew up thinking by now we would have flying cars.

575
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: Oh, we were totally sold on that.

576
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought we'd have jet packs, flying cars, people

577
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 8: who'd be living on the moon by now. Back in

578
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 8: the eighties when I was a kid, that was kind

579
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 8: of the future we were selling.

580
00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 13: Sounds so futuristic, doesn't it, well, absolut flying cars, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

581
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 13: it sounded futuristic forty years ago, and here we are

582
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 13: forty years later and still don't have them yet.

583
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: Although a Japanese company has developed a flying car prototype

584
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: and it made its demonstration flight over Tokyo, which is

585
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: I guess you could say the first step forward to

586
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: future aerial taxi service above cities. You know what, it

587
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: reminds me of, what's that?

588
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 14: Yes, we thought that we'd have this by now.

589
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 6: She went to Orgon High School.

590
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: Give me money, Yeah, give me money.

591
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 6: I don't know if you remember.

592
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: They all go in these little capsules and then they're

593
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: dropped out of the flying car and they off to

594
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: where they're going to go.

595
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 6: And Jane always did her own capsule.

596
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

597
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 8: I love that show when I was a kid. It's

598
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 8: exactly what you're talking about. This is what we were

599
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 8: fed as children. Hey, when you're become an adult, you're

600
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 8: gonna have flying cars. Oh and by the way, you're

601
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 8: gonna have Rosy the Robot as your mate. We're actually

602
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 8: a lot closer to Rosie the Robot than we are

603
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 8: to flying cars, right, yeah you are.

604
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm a little nervous about this because half

605
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: the time people can't even drive on the road.

606
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 6: What's gonna happen when they're up in the air. Are

607
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 6: these going to be self driving? Are you going to

608
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 6: have pilots?

609
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: Is this going to create a whole new economy? Structure,

610
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: a whole new market for taxis, self driving flying taxis.

611
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 6: Are you gonna need pilots for this? What is going on?

612
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

613
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 8: Well, okay, let's settle down here a little bit. So

614
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 8: let's talk about what this really was. This was essentially

615
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 8: flying car the demonstration that happened in Tokyo. Calling it

616
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 8: a flying car is a bit of a stretch. It

617
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 8: was essentially an unmanned drone. There's nobody in the actual

618
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 8: vehicle flying it at the time that they did this test.

619
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 8: And this company as Japan is talking about maybe having

620
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 8: a consumer product ready for twenty twenty eight or possibly

621
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 8: twenty thirty. I think that's a lot of a stretch

622
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 8: because of all the things you just talked about. Okay,

623
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 8: so now what somebody's gonna need a pilot license for this.

624
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 8: We're gonna have traffic jams in the sky. Can you

625
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 8: imagine this?

626
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 6: Who has the right of way? Is it just like roads?

627
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 6: Are we going to be driving on the right side

628
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 6: or the left side?

629
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 8: And will we have like certain air lanes will have

630
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 8: to stay in or can anybody just kind of fly

631
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 8: go wherever you want to go?

632
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: Go anywhere they want?

633
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 6: Altitude? Do you have to stay at.

634
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 8: These are all the questions, and these are all the

635
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 8: problems as to why I don't see any chance of

636
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 8: us having a real consumer product that would be available

637
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 8: and functioning at any sort of scale anytime soon.

638
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 3: It's not like highways, and they have to understand that

639
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: avoiding accidents should be the priority, not just tech buds.

640
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 6: However, it is fun to think about, isn't it.

641
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 8: It does sound fun, doesn't it. I mean, I'd love

642
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 8: a little flying car.

643
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 6: How many times have you been stuck in traffic? You're

644
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 6: on your way into.

645
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 3: Work, and you're like, get Matt Bear's traffic report, and

646
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: he's like.

647
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 6: Oh, you know, I'm four sixty times a mess right now.

648
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: And you're like, man, if I could just pop in

649
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: my own little drone flying car and just pop up

650
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: over all this traffic and get there quicker.

651
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 12: And the problem with that, everybody else will be doing exactly.

652
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 8: It's not just you lifting off from this traffic jam.

653
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 8: Everybody else is gonna be doing it too.

654
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: And you know, if you if you get.

655
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 8: Into a fender bender at twenty miles an hour here

656
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 8: on the roads, okay, you got a little dent in

657
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 8: your bumper.

658
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: Not the end of the world.

659
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 8: You do that at well, I don't know, five six

660
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 8: hundred feet up in the air. Why have parachutes on

661
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 8: these things too? Or are we gonna have to strap

662
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 8: a parachute into it? And then think about the security issues.

663
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 8: I mean you to think about all everything we have

664
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 8: to go through security related Now when you go on

665
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 8: a commercial airplane, that's going to have to be at

666
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 8: least that strong, if not stronger. If I can just

667
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 8: go out to my garage and get in my own airplane,

668
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 8: mm hmm.

669
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

670
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 3: And what sort of licensing is required? And how much

671
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 3: is the state gonna get? Oh, oh, you want your

672
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 3: flying car? Yeah right, well you're gonna have to pay

673
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: for that.

674
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: They can they toll us in the sky? I believe me.

675
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 8: If they can figure out a way to create coal

676
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 8: roads in the sky, Mike Brown will be there going yep,

677
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 8: sign me up for that. I need some of that sweet,

678
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 8: sweet tax payer money.

679
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 6: Just think about Matt Barrett.

680
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 3: Now he's going to have to not only pay attention

681
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: to the roads, but also the sky.

682
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 6: So this prototype is being tested.

683
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 3: It's part of this aviation startup called sky Drive, and

684
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: they've been developing these flying cars which are intended for

685
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: short flights in urban environments.

686
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 8: Now, Casey, you know me. I am an early adopter

687
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 8: of technology. I love technology. I love when the new

688
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 8: stuff comes out. I've said from the beginning, I cannot

689
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 8: wait for the Elon Musk Optimist robot.

690
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm all in on that. This one I have a

691
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: bit of a problem with.

692
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 8: For all the reasons you just talked about, it would

693
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 8: be total chaos in this guy.

694
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 6: So you're saying you wouldn't get in one, you wouldn't

695
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 6: try it.

696
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: I'm saying not only would, I would not do that.

697
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 8: I don't think that this is really a plausible thing

698
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 8: anytime in the near future. I've got to believe we're

699
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 8: still thirty forty fifty years away from this. Something you

700
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 8: said earlier in the conversation when we started. I think

701
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 8: it would be the in all seriousness, the key to this,

702
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 8: and that would be autonomous flying. So we don't have

703
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 8: autonomous driving cars right now, or at least not at

704
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 8: any sort of scale and reliability, but I think that's

705
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 8: coming soon. I think for any of this to work

706
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 8: in a society like ours, it would have to be

707
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 8: autonomous flying vehicle.

708
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 3: Well, and the other question that I have is when

709
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: you're done with it, where does it go?

710
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 6: Where's the port?

711
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: Does it go land back on the ground, or is

712
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 3: there like a helipad somewhere or does it fold up

713
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 3: like it did for George Jetson to a briefcase.

714
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: And then you just carry it into work your briefcase.

715
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 6: Is that what we're looking at here?

716
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: Again?

717
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 8: I don't think we're don't I don't think we're seriously

718
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 8: looking at this available in our lives. This is not

719
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 8: even going to probably be in our daughter's lifetime. I'm

720
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 8: not gonna have to worry about this. I'll be long

721
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 8: and dead by the time this becomes a viable reality.

722
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: It's ninety three WYBC, right,
