1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Resting shorts and American peoples. A recent increase in oil 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: and gas prices is temporary, and this operation will result 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: in lower gas prices in the long terms. Once the 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: national security objectives of Operation Epic Cury are fully achieved, 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: Americans will see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, potentially 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: even lower than they were prior to the start of 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: the operation. 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 2: Matters the White House spread Secretary saying that the recent 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: increase in oil and gas prices is temporary and this 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term. 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: Temporary m lasting for a limited time, short term. 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 3: Not long lasting, a blip, an informal way to say. 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Small, temporary change. How about a spike, which is a 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: sudden but temporary increase. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: You've also have. 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: A bump, a brief rise or improvement. Okay, we're on 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: day seventeen. Is this just like two weeks to flatten 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: the curve? It's temporary. We're gonna talk about those gas 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: prices and the economic impact and what it could be 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: doing with your tax. 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: Refunds coming up.

If you don't like the weather, just 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 4: wait today, it's gonna change. 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: Who else the sinuses are wreaking havoc on them because 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: the barometric pressure keeps changing constantly. 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 3: Raising my hand. I can't even believe it. 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: You know. They say, march in like a lion, out 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: like a lamb.

It's gonna be cold 42 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: for what a couple more. 43 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 5: Days today and tomorrow, and that's it. 44 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: This is it case, this is it. 45 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 5: This is the end of winter. I keep telling you 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 5: this is the end of winter. 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: We got today and tomorrow and that it's nothing but 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: spring and summer for the rest of the year. It's 49 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: gonna be great. So just hang on, get through this 50 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: and then it's all gonna be fine. 51 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: For some reason, I don't believe you. Also coming up 52 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: with Casey and Jim Net and Yahoo is still with us. 53 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 6: A fantastic spies both. 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 5: Come on. 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: So there was a. 56 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Viral video online that claimed that Natanyahu had six fingers 57 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: when he made a speech with led to rumors that 58 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: he was dead and that Israel was using AI to 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: fake appearances. 60 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: Also on the way, this woman has a question for you, Okay, 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: what is up? 62 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 7: Is not wanting to leave the house like ever for 63 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 7: any reason? Work on things? Nothing, don't want to do it? Like, 64 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 7: isn't an age thing? Is this seasonal depression? Like I 65 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 7: just don't leave my house unless it's a trip. If 66 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 7: it's a trip, I'm there. But anything else I just know. 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it costs too much money. 68 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: She says she doesn't want to leave for work, not 69 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: for fun, not for even simple things. The only time 70 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: she wants to leave unless she goes on a trip. 71 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: And finally, a hat trick for the USA. 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: It's a cold of the United States. 73 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 8: Bit straight Paralympic slap gold and the dynasty continues them. 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: That was the moment Team USA went Olympic gold in 75 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: sled hockey, completing the triple ground for USA's golds in 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: men's hockey, women's hockey, and also at the Paralympics. Okay, 77 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: let's go back to what Carolyn Levette said at the 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: top of the hour. Rising gas prices because of tensions 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: with it Iran looks like a temporary sprike, not long 80 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: term economic problems. Markets reacting because of geopolitics. What is 81 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: the average price for gas? Well, nationally, we're looking at 82 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: three dollars and sixty nine cents, that is seventy five 83 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: cents increase since Operation Epic Fury began. 84 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: What are we looking at here in Indiana? 85 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, so the average gas price in Indiana today three 86 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 4: dollars and forty seven cents. And again that is just 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: for the state of Indiana, and that is according to 88 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: Triple A, who's pretty good at this. It's the exact 89 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: same price as it was a week ago. Now, before 90 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 4: the invasion of Iran started, gas prices were about about 91 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,679 Speaker 4: two to seventy five or so, so we're up about 92 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: seventy seventy five cents since then. But things have been 93 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: pretty stable for the last week, at least here in 94 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 4: regards to gas prices in Indiana, and I keep finding 95 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 4: it fascinating because I watched the mainstream media and it 96 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: seems like they want to They would love some economic 97 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 4: panic in this country, but they just can't get it 98 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 4: quite yet. 99 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 5: They keep talking about. 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 4: How gas prices are the end of the world. They 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 4: keep talking about the stock market. Oh, what's the stock market? 102 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 5: Do it? 103 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 4: You know what the stock market's doing. It's about the 104 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 4: same as it started the year. It's down about one 105 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 4: percent from the start of the year, so really not 106 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: that much change. Oh and by the way, it's up 107 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: about fifteen percent from where it was a year ago. Again, 108 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: the media looking for panic. There's no toilet paper shortages. 109 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: Jobs are fairly stable, housing is fairly stable. We're not 110 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: getting a ton of pushback. I mean, all of our 111 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 4: allies are at least kind of at least hanging out. 112 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 5: Dipping their toe in the water. 113 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 4: The only panic we're seeing from any of our allies 114 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 4: is Great Britain, and that's because they're just shocked at 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 4: how inept their country can be. I mean, if you 116 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 4: see anything come out of Great Britain since this war started, 117 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 4: all the discussion is I thought we were a proper 118 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 4: country here in Great Britain, and we don't even have 119 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: one ship to send to the Middle East. We used 120 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: to have the greatest navy in the world, and today 121 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: we don't have one ship that is military ready that 122 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 4: we can send to the Middle East. So it's fascinating 123 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: that most of the media seems to want to talk 124 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 4: about this economic panic and it's just not playing out everywhere. 125 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: What is interesting, though, is what they aren't talking about 126 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: are these Iranian inspired attacks that have happened in the 127 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: United States, and now we've had four of them. We 128 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: had that shooting down in Austin, we had the synagogue 129 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: attack in Michigan, we had the Old Dominion shooting in Virginia, 130 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: and we had the bomb plot in New York City. 131 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: It's fascinating that those aspects are really not getting nearly 132 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: as much coverage in the media as you think they might. 133 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: So you've hearing a lot of experts though, saying that 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: the excuse me that the economic impact of epic fury 135 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: could derail any potential boost to the economy that would 136 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: typically come from you spending money from your tax refund. 137 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: The average refund this year is supposed to be about 138 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: three thousand, six hundred and seventy six dollars, ten point 139 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: six percent higher from last year, and that extra money 140 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: expected to boost consumer spending and also help the economy. 141 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 3: However, with gas prices, this. 142 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: Temporary blip, this short term spike, could derail that. And 143 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not really worried about it boosting 144 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: the economy. I want my tax refund to come and 145 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: help boost my wallet. And they're just saying, you know what, 146 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: you gotta be patient with this because it's gonna come 147 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: back down. Here you have the Energy Secretary talking about 148 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: that this is just a short term disruption of the 149 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: flow of energy. 150 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 9: Since the war began, the national average price for gasoline 151 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 9: is up twenty four percent and diesel prices have jumped 152 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 9: thirty two percent. Mister secretary, when can Americans expect to 153 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 9: see the price of gas come down. 154 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, after the conflict is over, you'll start to see 155 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 10: prices come back down. 156 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: But they Iran. 157 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 10: Immediately going to impede the flow through the Straits of Hormuz, 158 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 10: launching attacks at all of their neighbors, even though completely 159 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 10: uninvolved in this content just illustrates why it's so important 160 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 10: to defang this regime. But yes, it is a short 161 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 10: term disruption in the flow of energy. Americans are feeling 162 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 10: it right now. Americans will feel it for a few 163 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 10: more weeks. But at the end, we will have removed 164 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 10: the greatest risk to global energy supplies. We'll go to 165 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 10: a world more abundant in energy, more affordable in energy, 166 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 10: and less risky for American soldiers and commerce in the 167 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 10: Middle East. 168 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: Americans have already spent over two billion dollars more on 169 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: gasoline in just a few short weeks, and the higher 170 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 2: fuel prices mean that you may be using your tax 171 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: refund just to pay for gas and energy of spending 172 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: it elsewhere. 173 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 174 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 4: Again, I think that this is probably the American public 175 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: with serious situations like this, when we go to war, 176 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 4: the American public generally supports the administration, whether they're Democrat 177 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: or republic and it's generally fairly patient. So we've been 178 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 4: talking about seventeen days, and if you remember, for the 179 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 4: whole first week we were actually talking on this show, 180 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: we were surprised that gas prices didn't go up. It 181 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: really wasn't until Iran closed the straight of Horror moves 182 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 4: that everybody was like, Okay, now we've got a serious 183 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: problem here, and oil price is really shot up, and 184 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 4: gas prices got up. So it'll be interesting to see 185 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 4: how much patience does the American public give Donald Trump 186 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: in this administration. It has been day seventeen, you said 187 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 4: when we started the show, it's been less than three weeks. 188 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: I think the American public can probably hold out and 189 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,359 Speaker 4: give Donald Trump some patients again if things keep continuing 190 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 4: on the path. They're continuing for probably another two three 191 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: four weeks. But if we start getting into month two 192 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 4: three four five, we start getting into May and June 193 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: and we're not seeing a dramatic change in this I 194 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 4: think that's probably about the time that the patience from 195 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: the American public is going to start to wear out. 196 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 2: So energy prices, they could be wiping out everybody's tax 197 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: relief overnight. That's why energy independence actually matters. Coming up tomorrow, 198 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 2: we're going to be joined by a tax attorney. If 199 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 2: you have any questions has attorney related, you can shoot 200 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 2: them to me. Casey Daniels three one seven. Jamie O'Brien 201 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: will be joining us tomorrow and we'll talk about taxes 202 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: and how to get the best bang for your buck. 203 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 2: But we have more from the Energy Secretary and he says, 204 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: these prices today they're. 205 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: Still below what they were during the Biden administration. 206 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 10: We were very aware, very aware, and we would have 207 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 10: short term disruption, we would cause some we would cause 208 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 10: a little bit of increased prices on Americans. Prices today 209 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 10: are still far below what they were in the Biden 210 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 10: administration where they were begging, bartering, and bribing Iran to 211 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 10: behave better. We had five dollars gasoline in the middle 212 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 10: of the Biden administration. 213 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: So let's talk about the cost of living really quick. 214 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: There came there was a list that came out the 215 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: cost of living in all fifty states for twenty twenty 216 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: six and where does Indiana rank. Well, we've got the 217 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: cheapest states to live in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, 218 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: and Kansas were on the lift. Indiana coming in at 219 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: number ten. The annual average expenditure seventy one and fifty 220 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 2: three dollars, and the most expensive index in Indiana healthcare 221 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: and the cheapest was housing. 222 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that was really interesting that. 223 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 4: You know, if you if you look at housing outside 224 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 4: of the state of Indiana, if you've lived anywhere else, 225 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: you certainly know Indiana very cheap when it comes to housing. 226 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: I was not surprised that healthcare was our single biggest 227 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 4: expense category. Even our legislators and Mike Braun had been 228 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 4: talking about this when he ran for election in twenty 229 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 4: twenty four. Mike Braun said that, you know that was 230 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: one of his biggest challenges is bringing down the cost 231 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 4: of healthcare. And it's no surprise because it's really crushing 232 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: hoosiers right now. 233 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 5: The biggest expense category being healthcare. 234 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, cost of living basically a map of where housing 235 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: policies work, where they don't, and where healthcare is cheap 236 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: and where it's not. 237 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 238 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: Let's competition typically mean entire prices and fewer options. And 239 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: that's going to happen if you're a traveler this as 240 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: we've learned that Southwest Airlines announced it's going to stop 241 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: flying out of two major airports, Chicago O'Hare and also 242 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: Washington Dolls International. 243 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 3: This is going to happen starting June fourth. 244 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: It's part of their plan to restructure and streamline their network. 245 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 3: It's not an immediate shutdown of the airline. 246 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: If you are planning on flying through one of those airlines, though, 247 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: guess what your itinerary is going to change, and that's 248 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: always nice when you're flying. 249 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: Oh sorry, we made a change. 250 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: What happened to Southwest Airlines? It used to it was 251 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 4: like the Darling. They spent decades being like the Rebel airline. 252 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 4: We do things differently, no assigned seating and bags fly free, 253 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 4: and our flight attendants are fun and goofy and sometimes 254 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 4: they sing songs. 255 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 5: And that was the way they were. 256 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 4: They built their whole company based on that, and then 257 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: I I think COVID pretty much broke them because they 258 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: have changed completely by the way, dropping out of Chicago 259 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 4: Hair and Washington Dulles. They've already dropped out of Houston 260 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: Bush International Airport. They did that a couple of years ago. 261 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 4: So this is kind of a trend for Southwest that 262 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 4: we're seeing right now. But this is not the Southwest 263 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: Airlines that we remember from a decade ago, where it 264 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: was this cheap, low cost, low frills airline. It's just 265 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: been a total disaster and it really started. They had 266 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 4: a CEO change in twenty twenty two. Their longtime CEO. 267 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 4: The guy had been CEO for like twenty years, all 268 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: throughout the two thousands. He retires in twenty twenty two, 269 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 4: and ever since then, it has just been disaster after 270 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: disaster after disaster for Southwest. And it kind of started, 271 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: if you remember this, in Christmas twenty twenty two. There 272 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: were a lot of weather issues, but also Southwest Airlines 273 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 4: saw their entire software system go down. They had to 274 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 4: cancel almost seventeen thousand flights. Congress brought their CEO in 275 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: front for questioning and everybody was up in arms. That 276 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: was the one where keep Buddha Judge was on vacation. 277 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: If you remember at the time, Buddha Judge was the 278 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 4: Transportation Secretary and he was on vacation because it was 279 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 4: the holidays, and it was just a total outer disaster 280 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 4: and it's just not the airline that it used to be, 281 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 4: not by a long shot. 282 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: So the airline they pointed to operational challenges and also 283 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: heavy competition, especially at O'Hare. 284 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: That's why they're cutting back. 285 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: And this comes when a lot of these airlines they're 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: calling on Congress about the travel disruptions because of the TSA, 287 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: not people at TSA, employees not shown up to work, 288 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: not getting paid and all of this part of the 289 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: funding fight over Department of Homeland Security. You've got CEOs 290 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: of major airlines like American, Delta, Southwest, and Jet Blue. 291 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: They're all writing to Congress asking them to restore funding 292 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: at DHS. 293 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 3: So DAH is still not funded. 294 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: And you got to ask our Democrats waiting for Americans 295 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: to get hurt before they make your security a top priority. 296 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 10: Democrats waiting for Americans to get hurt, to get killed 297 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 10: before they actually put your security before those who have 298 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 10: come to this country. 299 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 8: Unlawfully and illegally. 300 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 10: I hope that's not their position, but we can get 301 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 10: to a better place if they just come to their 302 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 10: senses and negotiate after they open it up. 303 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: So that is the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, and he's 304 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: still saying, you know, they got to figure this out. 305 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: The shutdown happened because Congress hasn't agreed on funding for DHS. 306 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: This is just going because of disagreements over immigration. 307 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: However, you have to wonder is flying safe right now? 308 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: You've got these TSA agents that are working without pay, 309 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: some of them are quitting, and how long is this 310 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: going to last? 311 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, we've heard about this too. 312 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 4: There are a number of news reports last week about 313 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: TSA agents in Indianapolis working at the Indianapolis International Airport 314 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: that we're just walking off the job because they're not 315 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: being paid. But here's here's the Democrats are using the 316 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: fact that we are at war with the RAND to 317 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: their ace in this situation because everybody's attention for everything 318 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: is focused on the war of a Ran right now. 319 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 5: So they know. 320 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: Democrats know they can keep being obstructionists when it comes 321 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 4: to funding TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, and 322 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 4: they'll get a pass at it because everybody's looking over 323 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: there when they're playing footsie over here with DHS funding. 324 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: So Democrat Mark Warner was asked about it, and he 325 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: said that he wants to end the DHS shutdown, which 326 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: is causing lines at airports and thousands of workers to 327 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: go without paychecks. 328 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: But he might he might be lying. 329 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 11: I think we should, and what we have offered is 330 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 11: let's pay TSA, let's pay FEMA, let's pay the Coast Guard, 331 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 11: let's pay SISA. I'd even say let's pay Customs and 332 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 11: Border Patrol. If we can't agree on ICE reforms, let's 333 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 11: pay everybody else. 334 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: Doesn't make it old. 335 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: Lying to people when the truth makes you look bad. 336 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: If they wanted to fund DHS, they would. 337 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 4: They could, but again, everybody is distracted with what's going 338 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 4: on in Iran. Iran is sucking up all of the 339 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 4: oxygen out of the room. It is pretty much the 340 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 4: only thing that we've seen in the news cycle for 341 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 4: coming up on three weeks now. So the Democrats can 342 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 4: sit back and stop their little feet and throw their 343 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 4: tantrum when it comes to funding DHS, And for the 344 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 4: most part, people just aren't talking about it because we're 345 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 4: so distracted with what's going on in the rest of 346 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 4: the world. 347 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC. 348 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: It does seem like this is a direct attempt by 349 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: a government official to use regulatory power as leverage against 350 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: news organizations whose coverage is viewed as critical or unfavorable. 351 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 2: In regards to Operation Epic Fury, You've got the Chair 352 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee. 353 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: He warned that TV broadcasters could lose their broadcast licenses 354 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: if they continue what he calls news distortions or hoaxes, 355 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: particularly about their coverage of the war. He gave a 356 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: warning he didn't name specific news networks or stories, but 357 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: he is threatening that broadcast companies could be losing their 358 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: license if they don't change their coverage of Operation Epic Fury. 359 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 2: I feel like this might be a little bit against 360 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 2: free speech. 361 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was one of the few conservatives and 362 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: Republicans that did have a problem when Donald Trump and 363 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 4: Brendan Carr went after the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Look, I 364 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 4: don't like Jimmy Kimmel Show. Jimmy Kimmel and I don't 365 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 4: agree on anything politically whatsoever. I think Jimmy Kimmel's a 366 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 4: dirt bag. But I'm well aware and have a high 367 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 4: level of knowledge of the FCC rules and regulations and 368 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: how they work, and the way they were being used 369 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: by Brendan Carr just wasn't appropriate at the time. Now 370 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: here's the big difference here, because people will always say, well, 371 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 4: what about Fox News or what about CNN? How come 372 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 4: you're not investigating those guys. The keyword in what you just. 373 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 5: Said here is broadcast stations. 374 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 4: So we're talking about radio station like WIBC, We're talking 375 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 4: about broadcast television stations. The FCC does not regulate cable 376 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 4: television they don't regulate the content. The only thing about 377 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 4: cable television that the FCC regulates is the actual cables 378 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: in the ground, the physical transmission lines that take the 379 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 4: signal to your home. 380 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 5: That's it. 381 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 4: Same thing with the Internet. FCC doesn't regulate the Internet, 382 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 4: the content or anything. 383 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 5: Going on there. 384 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 4: They do regulate the physical transmissions of it, but not that. 385 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: But broadcast is different, and broadcast stations are held to 386 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 4: a much higher standard for things like operating in the 387 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 4: public interest and avoiding deliberate misinformation. And these rules are 388 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 4: fairly vague. And because they're very fairly vague, when. 389 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: You get changed, depending on the administration absolutely so. 390 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 4: Whoever, if there's a Republican president, the Republican gets to 391 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: assign three of the five people on the FCC board. 392 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: So obviously, when there's a Democrat in charge, they put 393 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 4: three Democrats in. When there's a Republican in charge, you 394 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 4: get three Republicans in and they control and can pretty 395 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 4: much do whatever they want with the And again, because 396 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: the language is so vague, it does give Brendan Karr 397 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 4: an opportunity to do something here. 398 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 5: But what I think is. 399 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: So important is that is that last line that I 400 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: mentioned avoid deliberate misinformation, because again that's pretty vague. So 401 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 4: keep in mind, this is what happened when Trump earlier 402 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: this year got settlements from a lot of these big 403 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 4: media companies. 404 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 5: If you remember, they got. 405 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 4: A settlement from ABC News, they got a settlement from 406 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 4: CBS News, they got this huge settlement from Meta, They 407 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 4: got another one from YouTube. What these companies hate more 408 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 4: than anything is Trump's ability to go in there on 409 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 4: Discovery and look at all of their internal communications. CBS 410 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: did not want their internal emails and you know, dms 411 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 4: within their internal organization getting released to the public. We 412 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 4: know the mainstream media is bias like crazy. 413 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 5: We saw this. We saw this in Discovery last week. 414 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 4: We talked about that Ticketmaster lawsuit that came out, and 415 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 4: we had all these internal communications from Ticketmaster and Live 416 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: Nation that we're talking about these guys are idiots and 417 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 4: we're you know, taking all their money. These pedio consumers 418 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 4: are fools and idiots. Oh my gosh, is that awful. 419 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: I can guarantee you similar types of communication are happening 420 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 4: within these media companies and that's why they all rushed 421 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: to settle so quickly. With the Trump administration, I got 422 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 4: a feeling. This just feels a lot like that, Hey, 423 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: we're going to you know, rattle our sabers. We're going 424 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,239 Speaker 4: to say that we're going to regulate you, or we're 425 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 4: going to come in and investigate. And by the way, 426 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 4: if we do, we're going to see all your internal communications. 427 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 4: And these media companies are terrified of that. 428 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: So cars of that. 429 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 2: Broadcasters are legally required to serve the public interest and 430 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: must correct course before their licenses are up for renewal, 431 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: otherwise they risk losing them. And he said that broadcast 432 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: licenses aren't a property right and the government can deny 433 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: or revoke them based on compliance with legal obligations. They 434 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: can deny a license renewal for anything they want. 435 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 4: Really yeah, and that is I'm mean, we're talking millions 436 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 4: and tens of millions and dollars of value from these 437 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: companies that would just be eliminated if they took away 438 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 4: a broadcast license. 439 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 5: And I think the other. 440 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 4: Key part in this too is Trump knows nobody loves 441 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 4: media companies. 442 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 5: We see all the all the polling, trust. 443 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 4: In the mainstream media is at a historic all time low. 444 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: So if Trump starts, you know, saber rattling against these 445 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 4: media companies. It's not like the public's going to be, Oh, no, 446 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 4: you mean you're going to take down this entity that 447 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,719 Speaker 4: I have zero trust in and can't stand and hate. 448 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 4: Nobody's coming to these media companies defenses because they put 449 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 4: themselves in the position with the way they've acted for 450 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 4: decades to the point where nobody has trust in them. 451 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 3: Anything so Newzell. 452 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: Let's yeah, they get free use of public airwaves, and 453 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: if they're going to mislead people, the FCC should absolutely 454 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 2: hold them accountable. 455 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: But the FCC also should hold up a. 456 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Mirror to the Trump administration and make sure that all 457 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 2: of the information we're getting is forthright and correct as well. 458 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: They do regulate broadcast, TV and radio licensing. They can 459 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: informs historically, though it rarely happens. 460 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 3: They rarely intervene in editorial decisions. 461 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, but Trump administration's doing a lot of stuff there. 462 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: Previous dedministrations rarely rarely do. And that's one of the 463 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 4: reasons why Trump got elected, because he said I'm going 464 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 4: to go in there and I'm going to do things differently. 465 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 4: And again, I've talked about this before too. I hate 466 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 4: the phrase, oh that's the way we've always done it. 467 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: Why do you do it that way? Oh, that's the 468 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 4: way we've always done it. That's a terrible answer. And 469 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 4: Trump knows that, and so he's going to go in 470 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 4: there and try and shake things up and see if 471 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 4: he can get new information coming out of there. Look, 472 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 4: we've seen these news organizations respond directly to Trump. We 473 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 4: had that story last week that ABC News put out 474 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 4: that talked about this information that the FBI was warning 475 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 4: California about potential drone attacks coming from the Pacific Ocean 476 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: from Iran, and then it turned out that was one 477 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 4: source that was completely unverified, and Press Secretary of Caroline 478 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 4: Levitt got up there and said, look, this is a 479 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 4: bunch of bs what you guys are doing, and they 480 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 4: forced ABC into a. 481 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: Retraction on that. 482 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 4: So bullying them to a degree does work, and it 483 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 4: does get them to kind of be on their best 484 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 4: behavior and issue retractions when they've done something that's a 485 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: little fishy. 486 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: There is an update on a story that we covered 487 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 2: last week, and that is in regards to the Ohio 488 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: State University. Of course, you had the president who resigned 489 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: because of an inappropriate relationship with a person who was 490 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: seeking public resources for her own personal business. The university 491 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 2: has quickly appointed a new president, naming Robbie Bellam Kundo, 492 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: previously a provost, to lead Ohio State University. That should 493 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: stabilize that university and what's going on there for just 494 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: a little bit. Of course, when you've got a university 495 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 2: leader getting caught up with his own personal messes, it's 496 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 2: important to name a new president quickly to level everything 497 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: out stop people from worrying about what's going on. 498 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just love the comparisons between Ohio State and 499 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 4: Michigan and the controversies that Michigan had. 500 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 5: Earlier this year. 501 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 4: I guess it was late last year because you know, 502 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 4: that's obviously a rivalry on the football field, and Michigan's 503 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 4: head coach had an inappropriate relationship with one of his 504 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 4: staffers and he got fired, and Ohio States like, yeah, 505 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 4: we can do that too. What's interesting about this is 506 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 4: not only did that president of Ohio State University have 507 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 4: an inappropriate relationship, allegedly he directed funds Ohio State funds 508 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: to that woman's company. So this is much more than 509 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: just hey, this is an hr thing and an inappropriate 510 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: relationship with this guy over a subordinate No, this could 511 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 4: be appropriation of funds or potentially fraud too. So I 512 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 4: think that this president at Ohio State I should say 513 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 4: former president now has is not out of the woods 514 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 4: completely yet. But you're exactly right. Ohio State did the 515 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: smart thing here. Let's get a new president in here. 516 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: Let's pretend this never happened and move forward and like 517 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 4: it never happened. 518 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 2: It was a big night last night for college basketball. 519 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: You had Purdue winning the Big Ten Tournament. They are 520 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: the new champs. 521 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 3: And you also had bracket selection. Duke. 522 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 2: Arizona to Michigan and Florida each earned number one seeds 523 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: in the NCAA Men's Tournament. Duke the number one overall seed. 524 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: I feel like Duke is always in the top. 525 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're Duke. That's why they're called blue bloods. It's 526 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 4: because they're there all the time. Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, 527 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 4: these are the huge, you know, basketball schools. And it's 528 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 4: easy to do when you're Duke because you know your 529 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: football team stinks, so we can throw all of our 530 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 4: weight behind the basketball team and all of our resources 531 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: behind the basketball team. But it's very exciting. I'm excited. 532 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 4: So they've got and they've been doing this for about 533 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 4: ten years. Now you've got the play in games. So 534 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 4: there are two play in games that start tomorrow. Then 535 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 4: there's two play in games that are Wednesday, and then 536 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 4: the full tournament of sixty four starts on Thursday. I 537 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 4: have my pick for who I think is going to win. 538 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 4: You want me to give it out now? Or should 539 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 4: we save it? Save it for later? 540 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 3: No, give it to me now now. 541 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 4: I made this bet before, So I made this bet 542 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 4: about a month ago, and I very rarely bet on 543 00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: the favorite, but I did. 544 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 3: Duke, did you? 545 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 5: I ticked Duke. 546 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 4: I got Duke at plus four twenty five, so easy money. 547 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 4: That was my betting odds. I got Duke plus four 548 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 4: twenty five, and I guarantee you that the number is 549 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: going to be a little bit lower here this morning. 550 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 4: But I rarely take the favorite, but that's how good 551 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 4: it seems. That Duke is like head and shoulders above 552 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 4: the everybody else in this entire tournament. So rarely take 553 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 4: the favorite, but took him in this specific time. 554 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: So you've got Duke versus Siena. 555 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 2: It's the first round, Wisconsin earning a number five seed. 556 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: They're going to play High Point Kentucky getting a seven 557 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: seed versus Santa Clara and the surprise, I guess Miami 558 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: University of Ohio secured a spot. They're going to play 559 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 2: SMU in the first four. 560 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 5: And that was talked about a lot. They weren't sure 561 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: if Miami was going to get in there. We all 562 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 5: know that. Unfortunately, Indiana did not make it this year. 563 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: Nope, nope. 564 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 2: Something that happened last night, another loss for Canada. Team 565 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: USA Paralympics sled hockey team defeated Canada to win gold 566 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: at the twenty six Winter Paralympics in Italy. So they 567 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 2: mid history. They've won for the fifth time in a 568 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: row in the sled hockey gold. So now we've got 569 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: the hat trick, right. We had women's gold, we had 570 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: men's gold, and now Team USA won gold in the Paralympics. 571 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and keep in mind too late last week United 572 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 4: States knocked Canada out of the World Baseball Classic tournament. 573 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 4: So Canada just keeps getting their butt kicked by the USA. 574 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 4: Elbow's up, Canada, good luck. Don't worry, guys, it's fine. 575 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: We'll wake you in the NHL playoffs. 576 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: Here's here's the moment Team USA won gold in Paralympic 577 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: hockey and it's. 578 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 8: Of the United States. They're fifth straight Paralympic sled hockey 579 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 8: gold and the dynasty continues. 580 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: The is in mod. 581 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: Clean sweep against Canada and hockey. That's domination. You can 582 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: be proud of, right. 583 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: I love how Team USA, especially hockey, but kind of 584 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 4: ardless of any sport has adopted Freebird from Leonard skinnerd 585 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 4: as their song when they beat when in the World 586 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 4: Baseball Classic. When the US beat Canada and knocked them 587 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 4: out last week, the broadcast used free Bird as their 588 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 4: bumper music as they went to commercial. So it's just 589 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 4: been you know what, Canada is our little brother to 590 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 4: the north, and you know what, sometimes you got to 591 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 4: beat up on your little brother when it comes to 592 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 4: the athletic competition. 593 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 5: And that's what we've been doing here in Canada. Deserved 594 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 5: every bivot. 595 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 4: Because remember, if you go back, let's go back a 596 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 4: few weeks to before the Winter Olympics started, Canada was 597 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 4: talking all sorts of smack. They were the late you know, 598 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 4: raining gold medal champions. They were like, we're going to 599 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: win this one. This is our sport, we own this. 600 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 4: And then the women beat them and they got a 601 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: little quieter, and then the men beat them all and 602 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: that shut them up real quick. And now it just 603 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 4: seems like we're just like giving it to them while 604 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 4: they're on the ground, kicking them while they're down, And 605 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,479 Speaker 4: I'm okay with that in this situation. Normally kicking somebody 606 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: while they're already down not really thought of very highly. 607 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 4: But it's Canada and it's sports, so I'm good with 608 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 4: nailing them all around the. 609 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: We're happy about it. 610 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: Well, congratulations to the team members, the coaches, the family's 611 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: amazing accomplishment and they represented the beautiful stars and strives well. 612 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: And as we go to commercial break, here is their 613 00:30:11,400 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 2: gold medal winning ceremony with the national anthem. It seems 614 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: like in today's world, politicians literally have to film themselves 615 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 2: drinking coffee just to prove they're alive. That's how wild 616 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: misinformation and AI has become. So Benjamin NETANYAHUO posted a 617 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: video of himself at a cafe in response to online 618 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: rumors claiming that he was dead or badly injured after 619 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: I Ran related attacks. The rumors had been spreading on 620 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: social media and even some foreign state media, some even 621 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: saying footage of him was faked with Ai. So he 622 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: gave a speech and people were saying, oh, no, he 623 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 2: has six fingers and his teeth are disappearing. 624 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: That's not real. He must not be with us anymore. 625 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: And in response, he posted a video of himself drinking 626 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: coffee at a cafe and this is what he. 627 00:31:51,400 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 6: Said, mamet an intat amphiliamtna fantastic to the spies, both 628 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 6: them on behin So. 629 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: Reuters has verified that that video's location in date is 630 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: real and it was filmed at a cafe outside of Jerusalem, 631 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: and he was actually clearly showing five fingers on one hand, 632 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: and he was trying to bust the claims about the 633 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: six finger AI footage from previous but it was meant 634 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: to show that he's alive and well. And even the 635 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: cafe where he was drinking the coffee was posting pictures 636 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: of him online drinking the coffee and sharing that saying no, 637 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: this is real, He's still with us. 638 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: All of that other stuff about six fingers and him 639 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: not being around that was all bogus. He's he's alive 640 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 3: and well. 641 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 4: This was a real problem over the weekend on social media, 642 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 4: so much so he had to address it. Yeah, I 643 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 4: mean this was this was pretty much the story of 644 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 4: the weekend on social media, where all of these rumors 645 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 4: and all of these AI generated images and AI generated 646 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 4: video that was claiming Benjamin net Yahood have been killed 647 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 4: in an Iranian missile strike. What I think is the 648 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 4: fascinating thing about this is how difficult it is for 649 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 4: us as consumers today to determine what is true and 650 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 4: what isn't. And I look to Twitter on this because 651 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: I think that's where a lot of people get their news. 652 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 4: And a couple of things have happened since this war 653 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 4: has started. Elon Musk has made a change to Twitter 654 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: to where if you post AI generated video that you know, 655 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 4: pushes out things that aren't true about this, he will 656 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 4: demonetize you on the on the Twitter platform. 657 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 5: And that's been a really big deterrent because. 658 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 4: Fake news is often much more interesting than the real news, 659 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 4: and so it gets tons of engagement, tons of click 660 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 4: And if you get monetized, if you get paid to tweet, 661 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 4: which a lot of people do, your engagement's going to 662 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 4: go through the roof and you're going to make more money. 663 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 4: So there's this huge incentive to be since, to be flashy, 664 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 4: to put out disinformation because you're going to make money 665 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 4: off it. Elon Musk kind of tampered that down a 666 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 4: little bit with this new rule, but I think as 667 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 4: consumers it does make it difficult. What I find really 668 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 4: interesting is that people are using Twitter's AI engine Grock 669 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 4: to verify these So if that's the first thing that 670 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 4: I do. If I ever see a story or an account, 671 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 4: or in a video or a photo that I think 672 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 4: isn't true, the first thing I do is go to 673 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 4: the comments, because ninety. 674 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 3: Nine first this is always grok is this true? 675 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 4: The first comment is grok is this true? And you 676 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 4: can click on that and groc will tell you whether 677 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 4: it's true or not. And Groc is right the vast 678 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 4: majority of the time, but it does the onus is 679 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 4: on us to be good consumers of media and to 680 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 4: be able to flesh out this fake stuff like what 681 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 4: blew up over the weekend. 682 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 2: I find it interesting though, that even when he goes 683 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: to that cafe and drinks coffee, then people are trying 684 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 2: to say, oh no, that's AI as well, and trying 685 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: to find clues that it was fake. 686 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 5: Yeah. 687 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 2: No. 688 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 4: And again, it's good that real news organizations like Reuters 689 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 4: have come out and confirmed that it was real. And 690 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 4: that's that's part of the onus is on us media 691 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 4: consumers to know how to know how to spot what's 692 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 4: fake and what's real. 693 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 2: Jim Merritt is going to join us next Lessons Learned. 694 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 2: Are we ready for the next Pandemic?
