1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Good morning. You're listening to Casey and Jim.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: It is ninety three WIBC. It is spring break travel season, and.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 3: We want to get some safety tips for you.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Because you recall the story of the student who was

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: traveling and went to Barcelona and ended up dead. You

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 2: also recall the stories of the people that were in

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: Mexico Acapulco and the cartel battle took place. And joining

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: us right now in the WIBC hotline from the United

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: States Department of State, we have the deputy spokesperson, Mignon Houston.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Good morning, Mignon, thank you for joining us.

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 4: Good morning, Thank you so much for having me.

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk.

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: About spring break travel safety tips. To begin with, you

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: have a program which is called the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.

15
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: It's available for all travelers. It's free, takes just a

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: few minutes, means that embassies know where people are if

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: something goes wrong. So how many Americans are currently enrolled

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: in STEP?

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: That's a great question. And look, I just want to

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 4: say how proud I am that you are giving this

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: information to your listeners. That I remember traveling as a

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: spring breaker and during summer travel and now as a mom,

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: as a diplomat, I would do things completely different. And

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: so what we hear at the State Department want to

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: make sure is that folks who are traveling, whether they

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: are young or seasoned, know exactly what they need to

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 4: do to ensure their faith. They're informed, and they're prepared.

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: As you mentioned, we have a Smart Traveler Enrollment program.

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: This is called STEP for short, and essentially what this

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 4: is is that allows American citizens to enroll and STEP

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: provide your email address, and in the event of a

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: natural disaster civil unrest in the country, the embassy or

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: consulate can reach out to you directly and provides you

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 4: that alert information to let you know where you should

35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: not be traveling, any news that you need. But there's

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: also a second step, and that's just reviewing travel dot

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: State dot gov. It's a really important resource because it's

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: tell you before you travel, vaccine requirements, entry or exit,

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: visa requirements, tips from diplomat who live abroad, the level

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 4: of the advisory risk that we have for that country.

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: If it's level four, do not travel or level one,

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: proceed with necessary cautions. And so we have lots of resources,

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 4: I would likely say more so than any other country,

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: a more robust system to let our citizens know exactly

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 4: what they should know before traveling to that country. We

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: don't require American citizens to enroll in STEP. It's not mandatory,

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: So at any given time, we couldn't tell you how

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: many Americans are in this destination. But what we do

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: is encourage folks to provide that information and STEP so

50
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: that we can reach out to you in the unlikely

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: event or the possible event of an alert.

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: Mignon Houston is joining us from the United States Department

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: of State. She's the deputy spokesperson. Do you guys see

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: a surge in registrations during spring break or even summer

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: travel seasons.

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: We do, and I wish that surge was all throughout

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: the year. You know, what we normally see is after

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: events like what's happening in the Middle East, you see

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: people now becoming a little more informed about travel and

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: wanting to know more about where they're going. But we

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: really want this to be something that everyone does before

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 4: they take that first flight, that they've looked at travel

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: date dot Gov, that they've registered as a diplomat overseas

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: at a US embassy. I've been on the other end

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: of those phone calls from American citizens calling from the hospital,

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: calling from the police department, a local police department needing assistant.

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: We are there. We are twenty four to seven abroad

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: at our embassies through the American Citizen Services Unit, entering

69
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: those calls for Americans. But we hope they don't have

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: to make those calls. We hope you have all the

71
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: information you need, you don't get yourself in trouble, and

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: you travel safely and confidently. But in the event something happens,

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: we are definitely there for you.

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Okay, you say you're definitely there.

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you can walk us through what happens

76
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: when an enrolled traveler does get into trouble abroad.

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: Right, certain circumstances that happen. You could lose your passport,

78
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: or maybe you get robbed and you don't have any

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: of your credit cards. What are you going to do? Right?

80
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: You want to make sure you call local authorities. If

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: maybe if you're in a country where English is not

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: the first language, you can dial the US embassy or

83
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: consulate as well. After you make that call to the

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: local authorities, styal Luss, we can help walk you through,

85
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 4: uh speaking with the local police department making sure that

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: you have a passport to travel back home with if

87
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: your passport is stolen. But also in the unlikely event

88
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 4: or something happens, maybe you're assaulted or arrested, or you

89
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: find yourself in jail overseas one night in a foreign country,

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: you want to make sure that you reach out to

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: that embassy or consulate. Now I should let you know

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: that the US consulate and the embassy there we have

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: to follow local laws. We're unable to get you out

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 4: of jail. But what we can make sure is make

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: sure you have access to a list of lawyers who

96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: speak the language that is most comfortable for you speaking

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: in that country, that you understand your rights, that you

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: understand the local laws. All of these things we can do.

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: We can come and visit you. We can make sure

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: you're getting those phone calls. So we're there to meet

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: American citizens where they are to help them in a

102
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: time of crisis. But we really want to start by

103
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: saying they're resources out here, travel dot s dot gov

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 4: and the STEP program that will allow you to make

105
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: the most important decisions before you go.

106
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: So now, Minyea and I want to clarify something here

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 5: because I've traveled internationally a lot, and when you go overseas,

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: you fill out paperwork when you go into another country.

109
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: And my assumption was, Oh, this paperwork I'm filling out

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: means that the US government knows I'm traveling to, you know,

111
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: Britain or France or Germany or something like that. But

112
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: it sounds like that's not the case the US government.

113
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 5: Is that correct in saying that the US government doesn't

114
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 5: know you're traveling unless you enroll in this STEP program.

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 4: That's a great question. And you know, when you're traveling abroad.

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: Let's say we're traveling to Mexico, for instance, and we

117
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: have to fill out customs and immigration forms. Those forms

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 4: are for local authorities in the country where you're traveling.

119
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: So there could be cases where the US government, through

120
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: the embassy and the consulate, they have great relationships with

121
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: local partners in that country and information is shared widely.

122
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: But the best way to ensure and the fastest way

123
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 4: to ensure that information goes directly to the US Embassy

124
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: and the Consulate is to enroll in STEP.

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: So one last question on this before we move on

126
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: to the visa bond conversation. We've got from the Department

127
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: of State WDS spokesperson Mignon Houston joining us, What are

128
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: the top destinations right now where the State Department is

129
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: urging Americans to exercise extreme caution.

130
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: That's a great question. So if you go on travel

131
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 4: dot State dot gov, every destination you can think of

132
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: has a travel advisory level and that's that go from

133
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: one through four. Number four the level is essentially do

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: not travel. A lot of countries right now in the

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: Middle East have a level four, not all, but have

136
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: a level four travel advisory. Level three means reconsider travel.

137
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 4: They're a very high security risk and we would encourage

138
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: you not to travel there. Level two means exercise increase

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: caution way where of your surroundings. Make sure you keep

140
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: your passport and personal belonging very close, maybe not take

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: all your best jewelry, know the embassy phone number, how

142
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: to contact us in twenty four seven periods of concern

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: or doubt. And Level one means exercise normal precautions. And

144
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: so these level advisories are on our information connections with

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: local authorities, the government and the country understanding. We have

146
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: our diplomatic security agents who are abroad and so we

147
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: collect a number of things that we want to make

148
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: sure American citizens know because it's important when you travel.

149
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: We want you safe, we want you feel inconfident.

150
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: From the State Department wuty spokesperson in you're on Houston

151
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: with us, let's talk about the visa bond program and

152
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: the State Department's program to combat illegal overstay rates.

153
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Tell us about that.

154
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, what we have seen this administration has been very

155
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: strategic and ensuring our visa system is not going to

156
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: be abused, it's not going to be taken advantage of.

157
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: And there are a number of countries throughout the world

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: where they have very high overstay rates, meaning they're citizens

159
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 4: travel to the United States on a legitimate visa and

160
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: they do not return in the timeframe that they should

161
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 4: return based on that visa category, which means they're abusing

162
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: the system, they are not respecting US immigration law. And

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: so what this administration has done in a very thoughtful

164
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: manner is select these countries based on these high overstate

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 4: rates and say, look, we are going to ask you,

166
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: if you're interested in traveling to the United States on

167
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: a visa, you're going to have to pay a visa bond,

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: which is essentially a fee. It can be upwards to

169
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: fifteen thousand dollars, and this VI says you pay this fee,

170
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: you get your visa, you come to the United States,

171
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: if you travel well and return, you get a refund

172
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: for all of your money. It's essentially a way to

173
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: determine if an individual is serious about taking on this

174
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 4: visa following our laws. In really a way to say, hey,

175
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: country X, we want to see a better way for

176
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: your travelers to come to United States and ensure that

177
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: they're not abusing US immigration law.

178
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: Is there anything that triggers it being forfeited being forfeited, yeah,

179
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: the bond.

180
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: Or being removed from the list. I think there are

181
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: a number of number of elements that we're taking into consideration.

182
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: Working across US government agencies, collecting information from Customs and

183
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: Immigration and Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security, State Department,

184
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: we share a number of items of lots of information

185
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: with each other to make sure that travelers who are

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: here are not overstaying, but also are using their visas correctly,

187
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 4: which means they are not assaulting US citizens, not getting

188
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: picked up for DUIs. We want folks who are coming

189
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: to United States to be lawful, legitimate travelers without abusing

190
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: not only just immigration law, but our local and federal

191
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: laws as well. And so by sharing information with the

192
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 4: government agencies that we work with, we're able to really

193
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: pinpoint travelers who are abusing the system here and through

194
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: the collection of that information, see countries where there's a

195
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: real pattern.

196
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: Is there a country or a visa category that have

197
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: the highest overstay rates with the overstays.

198
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: And what we're essentially looking at are non immigrant visas,

199
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 4: and these are visas for individuals who are coming as

200
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: a tourist, so that would be considered our B one

201
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: V two visa. Also for individuals who are coming as

202
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: a student coming to work in the United States, so

203
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: these are all temporary visas. They're not immigrating to the

204
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: United States on an immigrant visa. So these are non

205
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: immigrant visas coming over as a tourist, coming as a student,

206
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: coming as a worker. But you really have to follow

207
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: the requirements in that visa category and ensure you are

208
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 4: returning in the timeframe that you had based on that visa.

209
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: We've got minyeon Houston with us.

210
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: She's from the State Department, and we've got the World

211
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: Cup coming up, and what is the State Department doing

212
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: to get ahead of that. Are you creating a special,

213
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: dedicated visa program just for the soccer fans the soccer players,

214
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: And that's right.

215
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: I mean, this is an exceptionally novel idea by this administration,

216
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: by the President to ensure individuals who have a legitimate

217
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: World Cup ticket that they're able to essentially book an

218
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: appointment for their visa in time that gives them plenty

219
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: of time to make it here for the games. And

220
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: so not only are we saying we're going to consider

221
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: your visa, We're going to look at all the qualifications

222
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: to make sure you qualify, but we also want to

223
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: make sure you get that appointment. You're not waiting and

224
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: you miss the games entirely. So that visa pass system

225
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: is set up for those who are legitimate travelers. And

226
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 4: we are also making sure that where there are countries

227
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: that have visa bonds or maybe they have visa bands

228
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: in place, that the athletes, the coaches, the fans that well,

229
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: I would say, the individuals who are part of the family,

230
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: so that could be immediate family members, not necessarily fans,

231
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: but immediately family members, coaches, and the players, that they're

232
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: able to get those visas in they're here in time

233
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: for the game.

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: Are you guys able to guestimate how many foreign visitors

235
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: the State Department is expecting is going to need visas

236
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: for the World Cup?

237
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: Oh goodness, I've heard a number of numbers thrown out there.

238
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: I don't have any specifics, but what I can say is,

239
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: as you all know and your listeners know, this is

240
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: going to be probably one of the biggest World Cup ever.

241
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: You have more more matches than ever before, you have

242
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: three countries that are co hosting, United States, Canada, and Mexico,

243
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: and we know this is going to be really a

244
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: huge event for all all sports fans. We want to

245
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: make sure though, that every individual who's coming in has

246
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: been thoroughly vetted, that we know that they're going to

247
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: focus on US laws and follow them, and that US

248
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: citizens here feel safe with a number of visitors and

249
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 4: travelers that are coming. And there's no administration who I

250
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: think has done a better job than preparing us for

251
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,239
Speaker 4: this than this administration.

252
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: Right now, Mignon Houston, we kept you about ten minutes

253
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: longer than we were supposed to.

254
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: I really appreciate your time.

255
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: From the State Department deputy spokesperson, Thank you very much

256
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: for the information.

Speaker 4: It was a pleasure. Thank you for having me.

258
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WIBC.

Speaker 6: with You'll think we have a problem. What's your problem?

261
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: I've got ninety nine problems on ninety three doubles YBC.

262
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 6: Casey, this one is for you.

263
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,960

Speaker 6: What's your problem?

265
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: I got a problem.

266
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: Hand sized spiders spreading across the country.

267
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: You know, this is fine, This is fine, everything's fine.

268
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Let's just go on about our normal lives.

269
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: Between the spiders and that bowl that was running loose

270
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: in Kansas and a robot at the White House Nature

271
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: and Technology, they're staging a takeover all at the same time.

272
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what, humans, we.

273
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Had a good run. It's time to wrap it up.

274
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: It's time to wrap it Our time is over. Oh

275
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: my gosh, this story. I don't know which what I'm

276
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: scared more about the robots taking over or the hand

277
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: sized spiders that are crossing them United States, Like.

278
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean they're real creepy.

279
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: Literally, these spiders apparently are as big as your hand.

280
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 5: They are invasive juro spiders reaching up to four inches

281
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: wide and right now been seen in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina,

282
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 5: South Carolina, California, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. But they are

283
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: spreading away from those states and into the other states

284
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: around the country.

285
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: So they're spreading because of ballooning, where the spider lings

286
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: release silk threads and let the wind carry them to

287
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: new areas.

288
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: So not only do.

289
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: We have these hand sized spiders, but their little spider

290
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: lings are just blowing in the wind.

291
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 6: And see here, here's the issue with this.

292
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: And I know you've got a problem with these hand

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: sized spiders, but if one of these, one of these

294
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: ever shows up in our kitchen, no, it's gonna be

295
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: my problem. This is gonna be So maybe I'm the

296
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 5: one that's got the problem here.

297
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Problem.

298
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the problem is I'm gonna be the one

299
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: stepping on that thing and having to clean up the

300
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 5: mets because I know you're not gonna go anywhere near

301
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: You're gonna be standing on the couch over in the corner.

302
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: These spiders, they're originally from Asia and they've been spreading

303
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: across the US for years, but now they're picking up

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: steam experts say they don't consider them to be dangerous

305
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: to people or pets, but their venom is mild. They

306
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: have venom, so when they bite, you don't worry.

307
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: It's okay, it's just mild.

308
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed on this. Remember when

309
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: we were told that murder hornets were gonna be taking

310
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 5: over everywhere. You remember that one that was like right

311
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 5: toward the end of COVID there it was all in.

312
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 5: The next big crisis was murder hornets. Well, these jauro spiders.

313
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: I'm hoping that, you know, a couple of cans raid

314
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: and we'll be just fine.

315
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

316
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: So they say that these spiders could impact the local ecosystems.

317
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, make sense.

318
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: By competing with native spiders and other insects, you know

319
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: what they're impacting. They're going to impact my local ecosystem,

320
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: me personally, because you know what's gonna happen, I'm gonna

321
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: break out in a cold sweat. I'm gonna freak out,

322
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna start yelling.

323
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I told you, and you're gonna start yelling for me.

324
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: Our local ecosystem would be completely disruptive.

325
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to be the one that's gonna have to

326
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 5: grab a big wad of paper towel and take care

327
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 5: of this spider. You're just gonna be over there yelling

328
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 5: and screaming at me, Jim, get it.

329
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: So what does that call it? Arachnophobia? Is that? Is

330
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: that right?

331
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 6: That's right? Yeah, fear spiders. Yeah, exactly.

332
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: If they're small, I don't have a problem. I can

333
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: take it on. But if it's as big as my hand.

334
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: The worst part to me, besides the size and the

335
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: look of it and the just the creepiness.

336
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Is the crunch. Yeah, when you dispose of it.

337
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you step on it or you squash it

338
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: with that paper towel, you do get that, see, not

339
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 5: to me, to.

340
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 6: You, they have a hard outer shell. To you, the

341
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: crunch is an icky feeling. To me, that's satisfaction. Really yeah, yeah.

342
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: That's well, that's how you know you won I beat

343
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 5: the spider. Keep going until you hear the crunch. That's

344
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: how I've determined I am the superior life for So.

345
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: I have a cousin who does this for a living.

346
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what the technical word is. It's some

347
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: sort of ologist, but she studies bugs and I can't

348
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: imagine choosing that.

349
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: As your path for a career.

350
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's doing all over the world to study.

351
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: But but she's the type of person who would be like, no, no, no,

352
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: don't kill it. Put it on the piece of paper

353
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: and open the front door and set it free.

354
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: I'd be like, no, Now, if you're in jim, come

355
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 5: kill this. If you're in my house, you're getting the whack.

356
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: I don't care if you're a spider or a bug

357
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 5: or a mouse or anything like that. You are getting

358
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: You are getting the boot on the heel right on

359
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 5: top of their head, all right.

360
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 2: So look out for the juro spider coming to a

361
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: hopefully not a shower near you. That's like the worst

362
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: place to see a bug when you're in the shower.

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 6: No, but that's the easiest one. Then you just kind

364
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 6: of slap some water up there.

365
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: You use it completely exposed, you're naked and afraid.

366
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 6: Now that's the easy one.

367
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 5: You just cup your hands, fills up with water and

368
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 5: then you just throw it on them and then they

369
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 5: just work themselves down the drain. Although if this is

370
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: a spider that's four inches long, that's not.

371
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: Just going that's not going down the train it is

372
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: gonna have to stomp.

373
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 5: You're gonna have waffle stomp them down that grid on

374
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 5: the train there to get them in there. Their foot

375
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: grossby you're in the shower, you just clean it right off.

376
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 6: It's fine. Now the shower is the best place to

377
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 6: find these.

378
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm exiting the shower very quickly and not returning until

379
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: it gets a thorough cleaning.

380
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 6: Sanitizing.

381
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 5: You'd be in there with a hazmat suit and military

382
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 5: grade cleaning supplies making sure that shower has you know,

383
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: stripped of everything.

384
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: I got a big problem with the juro spiders.

385
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: Do you have a problem with corporate overreach? Uh? You,

386
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you hear this.

387
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: Story about the Detroit car makers that are giving tickets

388
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: to their workers who were driving rival vehicles at the headquarters. Apparently,

389
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: when you work for a car maker, you got to

390
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: drive the brand they make or you're gonna get fined.

391
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 5: This has always been an issue. So you and I

392
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 5: both lived in the Detroit area. I was there when

393
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 5: I was in high school in the late eighties early nineties,

394
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 5: and most of my buddies they had a family member

395
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: that worked on the line or one of their parents

396
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 5: worked on the line in one of the auto plants

397
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: in Detroit. And this has been going on for a

398
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: long time. Back then it was about parking privileges. So

399
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: if you, let's say, if your dad worked at the

400
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 5: Ford plant, the parking lots for the employees that were

401
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 5: closest to the plant, they had signs on there that

402
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 5: said American made cars only, and if you drove a

403
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: foreign car you had to park at the crappy parking

404
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 5: lot all the way back with a huge long walk.

405
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 5: Yet they take their brand loyalty, the big three automakers

406
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 5: in Detroit very very seriously.

407
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: So these tickets, they're not government findes. They're just the

408
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: internal parking violations which are enforced on private property by

409
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: the private company.

410
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine.

411
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: That I would be so upset, Like what if you

412
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: can't ford the car that.

413
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: You're working, Like what if you're driving an old beater

414
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: and that's the only thing you can afford and all

415
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: of a sudden you're getting a ticket.

416
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: Don't work for four GM or Stilantis apparently in the

417
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 5: Detroit area or else, you're going to be getting a

418
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: ticket if you're driving anything other than the vehicle company

419
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: that you're working for.

420
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: My dad worked for EDS for many years and that's

421
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: that was a General Motors subsidiary of January. And yeah,

422
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: he would never drive anything but a GM car because

423
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: of that. Like you can't, you can't drive into work,

424
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: drive in you know, a FOURD when you work for GM.

425
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 5: It is if you've ever spent time in Detroit, And

426
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 5: like I said, both of us lived there for a

427
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 5: number of years. The auto industry, obviously, you know, dominates

428
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 5: everything there and it dominates the culture. And you're right,

429
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: your dad always drove GM cars. And like I said,

430
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: my you know, buddies of mine in high school when

431
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 5: their parents worked at the plant, if you were driving

432
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: a foreign car, you were getting the crappy parking like

433
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 5: a half a mile away from the plant.

434
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: It's not a good look.

435
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 6: No, it's not.

436
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: They take it. They take it very seriously in Detroit,

437
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: they do.

438
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: You're listening to ninety three WIBC.

439
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: If Donald Trump closes the deal with Iran, it will

440
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: be the biggest foreign policy achievement in a generation, But

441
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: of course the media will.

442
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: Spend days finding reasons to criticize it.

443
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: In a video, Donald Trump said He's close to reaching

444
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: a peace deal with Iran. Suggested negotiations are ongoing even

445
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: as missile strikes continue between the United States, Israel, and Iran.

446
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: Trump is called Iran eager for a deal, and he

447
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: claimed the US is engaging Tehran through diplomacy and golf

448
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: Arab states say that they want the war to end,

449
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: but not without ensuring Iran is stabilized.

450
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've talked about this for weeks now, what Iran

451
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 5: and both Trump are doing and the leaders of the

452
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 5: other Gulf nations are doing right now. You cannot take

453
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 5: everything that they are saying in public seriously because so

454
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 5: much of what they are saying in public is really

455
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 5: a message to the other side. And so keep that

456
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: in mind as we do this. We really have to

457
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: live in a world of Okay, this actually happened, not

458
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 5: what's being said, and not what might happen. And the

459
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 5: big news this morning with the Ward and Ran is

460
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: that Israeli airstrikes have taken out the commander who oversaw

461
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 5: the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and his name is Aloisa

462
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: tang Siri. So another Iranian official was taken out by

463
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 5: the Israeli military today.

464
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: So despite Trump's optimistic language about peace, a Ran called

465
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: the US proposal one sided and unfair, rejected the current

466
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: terms of endy of the conflict.

467
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: Of course, they're going to call it one sided and unfair.

468
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: That's where it's going to be.

469
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna be one sided and in their mind, unfair.

470
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 5: Well, that's what happens when you lose a war. Yeah,

471
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 5: guess what it's called unconditional surrender. I'm sure Japan thought

472
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 5: that when we, you know, settled with them at the

473
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 5: end of World War Two, that it was one sided

474
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: and unfair. Yeah, we won the war, same thing with Germany.

475
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 5: That's the way it works out Iran. You're you know,

476
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 5: you take what we offer you or the war continues.

477
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 5: And that's that's the reality of the way. The leaders

478
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 5: of Iran, whoever's leading the country right now, are looking

479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 5: at things. You know, if they want to continue this,

480
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 5: they certainly can us, and Israel is just going to

481
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: keep on bombing, maybe even sending in some ground troops.

482
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: If you're going to end up taking a deal, it's

483
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: definitely going to be a deal that favors the American

484
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 5: So you had the.

485
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt.

486
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: She said Donald Trump does not bluff he's prepared to unleashell.

487
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: So they're continuing to issue warnings to the Iranian regime

488
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: and all of America's enemies that you know what, he's

489
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: not bluffing on this.

490
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: He's going to keep going.

491
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: So sorry, you think it's one sided and unfair, but

492
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: that's the way it's going to be.

493
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary, mister.

494
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 6: Wonderful, Yeah, yeah, from Shark Tank.

495
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was saying that he expects that the Strait

496
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: of Horror moves to be opened in perpetuity.

497
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 7: That's really good for everybody because that's a lot more

498
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 7: trade into Asia. That's the hub UAE is the hub

499
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 7: of trade for that whole region. That'll be a great

500
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 7: outcome for investors like me. And I don't want to

501
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 7: make light of the war. I keep saying that, but

502
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 7: I'm thinking ahead ninety days here and I'm liking what

503
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 7: I see, not the war. I keep saying that I

504
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 7: don't need the headaches on social media. But you know

505
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 7: what I'm saying in terms of long term vision. Third,

506
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 7: which I find really really intriguing, is no matter what happens,

507
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 7: no enrich geranium that's got to be found and taken

508
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 7: out of the country that'll be part of the deal.

509
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 7: Her moves will be opened in perpetuity. We've got twenty

510
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 7: two nations talking about supporting that financially. That's just like

511
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 7: the suezer Panama Canal. Great for the region. It's a

512
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 7: game changer in the sense that all of a sudden

513
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 7: you have stability in the fastest growing part of the earth.

514
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 7: It's very, very bullish for world markets. And again I

515
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 7: preface it, I don't like war, but I let this

516
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 7: play out because the big vision here is to finally

517
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 7: stop this problem we've had for sixty years, and I

518
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 7: really like that outcome.

519
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: He says that he's thinking ahead ninety days and he

520
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: likes what he sees. You got to keep in mind,

521
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Leary, he's not just going to say things for attention.

522
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: He's saying that because he's done the math right. He

523
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: says that it's going to be bullish on the Iran

524
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: deal ninety days out. That's money talking, not politics. And

525
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: if the straight of Horror Moves is open in perpetuity,

526
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: that means the oil is going to flow freely, gas

527
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: prices are going to come down, and the global economy

528
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: stabilizes that's the big vision. That's what winning looks like,

529
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: fingers crossed, that's what is going to happen. You know.

530
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 5: I like the way how he mentioned and compared the

531
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 5: Straight of Horror Moves to the Suez Canal and the

532
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: Panama Canal, because that's really what it is, and that's

533
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 5: really that has been the leverage that Iran has had

534
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 5: for fifty years. Now it's closing the Straight of Horror moves.

535
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 5: And I'm old enough to remember that, you know, back

536
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 5: in the eighties or periods of time, when there was

537
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 5: conflict in the Strait of Horror Moves and Iran would

538
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: mine the Strait of Horror moons with marine minds everywhere,

539
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 5: and sometimes a ship would run over it and blow up,

540
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 5: and there were problems. And that's always been the piece

541
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: of leverage that Iran has had most and they've used

542
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 5: that leverage against the Western world for the last fifty years.

543
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 6: And so while Trump has.

544
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 5: Talked about, you know, we need to take out their

545
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 5: nuclear program and their missiles and their leadership, all of

546
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: a sudden, securing the Strait of Horror moves so that

547
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 5: it's open long term and not in anyone's hands like

548
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 5: Iran all of a sudden, that's become another key strategic

549
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: part of this war as well.

550
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: So Donald Trump said that he was in talks with

551
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: leadership whoever that is from Iran and that they even

552
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: sent a gift. Meanwhile, you've got the mainstream media, including CNN,

553
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: spent days saying that he was lying, but then just

554
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: yesterday they confirmed their own reporting was wrong.

555
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: Listen to this, Hi, there's.

556
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 6: Important breaking news coming into the situation room.

557
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 8: We're now learning from his senior Iranian source that there

558
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 8: has been an outreach between the US and Iran.

559
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: Listend is calling the President of the United States a

560
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 2: liar until they hear from an Iranian official that they're

561
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: gonna believe.

562
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I look, we know.

563
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: We don't believe our guy, will believe their guys.

564
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 5: We know the mainstream media has been in the tank

565
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: for the Democrats and the liberals for decades in this country.

566
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 5: Everybody knows that if you've got any sort of you're

567
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: being intellectually honest with yourself.

568
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 6: You know that that's the case.

569
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 5: And then ten years ago Donald Trump started his first

570
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 5: term and president, and that really broke the media, and

571
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: we saw everything that went on from the Hunter Biden

572
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 5: laptop scandal, to the Russia collusion, to the you know,

573
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: the Steele dossier that happened in Trump's first term. All

574
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: of those things, the mainstream media totally blew it on.

575
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 5: They're totally in the tank against Trump. And that's really

576
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 5: what it is right now. While sure the media is

577
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 5: for the Democrats, it's much more that they are against Trump.

578
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 5: And so any sign, any any opportunity, any little glimpse,

579
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 5: any little morsel of information that is anti Donald Trump

580
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 5: that paints Donald Trump in a poor light, that paints

581
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: this war in Iran in a poor light, absolutely, they're

582
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 5: going to run with it, even if they have to

583
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 5: come back several days later and say, oops, we were

584
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 5: wrong about that.

585
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go back and talk about figure three.

586
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 6: Oh oh the robot. What is figure three?

587
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that AI powered robot that accompanied Milania Trump in

588
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: the East Room for her summit. The summit is about

589
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 2: empowering children with educational technology, and you had figure three there.

590
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: So here's the first lady sharing her message. She's talking

591
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: to world leaders and also tech giants about creating opportunities

592
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: for children across the globe using robots.

593
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 9: America, we are obligated to ensure that our children become

594
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 9: the most technologially fluent and highly educated generation in the world.

595
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 9: In doing so, the United States will secure long term

596
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 9: and economic superiority. This will drive GDP expansion, attack global investment,

597
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 9: and put our nation in control of arguably the most

598
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 9: important asset in the future, intellectual property. Let's inspire our

599
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 9: children to build new platforms, create new industries, and optimize

600
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 9: production across all sectors, from media and fashion to health

601
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 9: and defense. Let's foster the future together.

602
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: Her message was, let's have children optimize production in the future.

603
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you talking about like when they're adults.

604
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 5: Not The cleanest way to deliver that information which she

605
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: is talking about is hey, look, this will benefit our

606
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: education system. That's the nuts and bolts of the story

607
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 5: that she was discussing.

608
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: Now she wants the education system to be benefited with robots.

609
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened to child development during the

610
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: social isolation experiment of the COVID years.

611
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't exactly it works so well, no, but

612
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: that was I think that had to do more with

613
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: the fact that the kids were at home and the

614
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: learning was done via zoom and remote learning. As opposed

615
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: to being in the classroom. Look, I'm not saying it's

616
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: a perfect solution. These robots have obviously got to get

617
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: a lot better. What's the robot's name again?

618
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: Figure three?

619
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: Figure three?

620
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: She called it Plato.

621
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 6: I'm in favor of like human names for the robots.

622
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: I think, so.

623
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I want my robot to be named Doug

624
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 5: if he's going to be my butler, or something like that,

625
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 5: Stan or you know, Cheryl if she's a woman, or

626
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 5: something like that.

627
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 6: I want like a normal human.

628
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 5: Name for my robot Butler that I purchased once it

629
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 5: becomes available for Elan Musk.

630
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I like that.

631
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: I think I don't even like calling the robots humanoid,

632
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: because I think that dilutes real humans.

633
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: Call it a robot, it's a machine.

634
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 6: Fine, my my robot Butler.

635
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Are you gonna name your dishwasher?

636
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 5: I could, I don't, But actually I think it's closer

637
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: to the robot is closer to being a pet. You

638
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: name your dog, name your cat. I'm gonna name my

639
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 5: robot when I get so.

640
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking about this last night.

641
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: I was laying in bed, and I was imagining that

642
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: we had some because I know you're all on board

643
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: weird Optimus robot in the house. Yeah, And I was

644
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: thinking about it, like at night when you go to sleep,

645
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: what does it just stand in the corner or is

646
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: it still mooning about the house doing the chores that

647
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: you gave it? And wouldn't that keep you up? Would

648
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: you be thinking, oh my gosh, there's somebody in the house.

649
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's just figure three.

650
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: No, you would.

651
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: Well, for starters, you don't have to worry about strangers

652
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 5: coming into the house anymore because butler robot Doug is

653
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 5: our security guard. Now he's gonna go in there and

654
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: crack some skulls if somebody tries coming through the front door,

655
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 5: so you don't even have to worry about that. It

656
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 5: depends on what you want to do. I'm sure that

657
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 5: the robot has to charge at some point in time.

658
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 5: I'm sure that it has to you know, download new software,

659
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 5: and there'll be periods of time exactly. There's maintenance in

660
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: that sort of thing that happens. But look, put them

661
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 5: to work all the time. If I'm sleeping, I want

662
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: them downstairs, vacuum in my car and changing the oil.

663
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: Do you find it interesting that figure three, who was

664
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: with Milania Trump had a female voice, like, are you

665
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: going to designate like you do with your car?

666
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Some cars are females, some are male.

667
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: Are you going to designate your robot's sex? Is this

668
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: going to be a boy robot or a girl robot?

669
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: Or would you rather hear a robot voice where it

670
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: just is neither.

671
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 5: Well you bring up a good point, because you can

672
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 5: do that right now with like your the GPS apps

673
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 5: on your phone, and I use a British woman's voice

674
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: just because it entertains me.

675
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 6: So yeah, so maybe maybe.

676
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: Robot Doug is really robot Cheryl and she's got a

677
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 5: British accent.

678
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: What if your robot had a Southern accent?

679
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 6: You know, well, you know what.

680
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 5: When he's busy smoking brisket in the backyard, which is

681
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: the kind of task I'm gonna give him.

682
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna change it for different times.

683
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 5: Maybe he does have a Southern accent if he's cooking

684
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 5: up barbecue in the backyard, and then maybe he has

685
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 5: you know, more of a uh, I don't know, if

686
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 5: he's a cooking duck all range, you give him a

687
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 5: French accent when you're having whatever cuisine that your robot

688
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: is making. They could adopt the accent from the origin

689
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 5: country of the food.

690
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: Okay, well, here is see how much fun robots are

691
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: gonna be.

692
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 5: We get to change their gender, We get to change

693
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 5: what accent they have to fit with anything they're doing.

694
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: Do you get to change what they look like?

695
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: Like their their shells skin like the one with milania

696
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: was black and white?

697
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: Oh like, can you like will it be like the

698
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: mac like I want a pink one or a blue one.

699
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you'll be able to customize it. What do we

700
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 5: see that robot? The McDonald's robot in China. This We

701
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 5: had that story earlier this week. It was wearing a

702
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 5: McDonald's uniform. Yeah, you could dress up your robots if

703
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 5: you want to see awesome.

704
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 6: This is going to be. You're like, is selling it

705
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 6: for me? I don't even have to sell you on it?

706
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 6: All these things that you're talking about are actually features.

707
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: All right?

708
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of selling it, here are some employees who

709
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: work for Elon Musk who are building the Optimists And

710
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 2: here's their sales pitch.

711
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 10: And every single day I step in the office, it

712
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 10: feels like I'm in a sci fi movie. When you

713
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 10: walk in the office, you have bots walking around autonomously.

714
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 10: You come in the lab, you have bots doing laundry.

715
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 11: Working on Optimists to show me how much progress is

716
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 11: possible when we're all working towards a common goal.

717
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 12: A lot of the engineers here are exceptionally ready to

718
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 12: get lost in the engineering.

719
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 10: But's super exciting to come into work with all these

720
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 10: capable people to develop a product that's going to change

721
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 10: the world.

722
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 8: I think Optimist is pretty uniquely positioned in the fact

723
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 8: that we care equally about design and manufacturing.

724
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 11: We're solving manufacturing problems that haven't been solved before at

725
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 11: a scale that Tesla operates at.

726
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 8: As we iterate on our robot design and go into

727
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 8: gentry and into mass production, we are getting very close

728
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 8: to the human functionality and form factors.

729
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 10: Won't even look like a robot, and it looked like

730
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 10: a human in a superhero suit.

731
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 12: I think the end goal is going to be something revolutionary.

732
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 12: It's steel psych the extreme sports of engineering.

733
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: Human in a superhero suit. Which superhero suit would you

734
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: put him in?

735
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 6: Spider Man? Really? Yeah? Why not? Spider Man? Oh? Are

736
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 6: you kidding me?

737
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 5: No, I'd put him in an Iron Man suit. He's

738
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 5: already a war robot already looks like Yeah, it kind

739
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 5: of seems like iron Man would be the first step.

740
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: Elon Muss said that within three years, Optimus will be

741
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 2: the world's best surgeon. You're going to trust a robot

742
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: to operate on you, I mean, I know you will

743
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: see you know what surgery you.

744
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 6: Get like eighty years.

745
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 5: Well, let's see how it cooks my dinner first, and

746
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 5: then we'll kind of move gradually toward be a will

747
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 5: move gradually toward you know, shoulder reconstruction surgery.

748
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: Let's see how it makes my RIGATONI before let it

749
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 2: exactly get that scalpel. You're listening to Casey and Jim.

750
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 2: It is ninety three wibc.

751
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 4: Oh.

752
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: It is a big day today.

753
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: Opening Day feels like the real start of the spring.

754
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: Lots of games today, however, there are so many different

755
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: streaming deals, kind of confusing to figure out where to

756
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: watch and when. But let's see here a full slate

757
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 2: of eleven games across the league today.

758
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had one game last night, that was the

759
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 5: Yankees and the Giants last night, but really today is

760
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 5: the opening day of baseball because it was just one

761
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 5: game yesterday Chicago Cubs taking on the Washington Nationals at

762
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 5: Wrigley Field two twenty this afternoon.

763
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 6: We'll be going home and watching that.

764
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 5: Game, and then Cincinnati Boston Red Sox are at Cincinnati

765
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 5: four ten Star time for that. Cincinnati, I think the

766
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 5: Great American Ballpark. We can all agree that nobody read machine,

767
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 5: nobody does opening Day like the Cincinnati Reds. There's a

768
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: lot of great pomp and circumstances a lot of ballparks

769
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 5: around the country, but really it seems like Opening Day

770
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 5: at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati is better than

771
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 5: all the rest.

772
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 6: It's amazing.

773
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: I love the Cincinnati Reds. Grip listening to them on

774
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: the way home from Kings Island.

775
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to sleep in the back seat. Baseball

776
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: games on.

777
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: Nothing better when you're a kid.

778
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 5: I have never been to an opening day. That's one

779
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 5: of those kind of you have sport. No, we went

780
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 5: to the second day at wrigley Field. In fact, I've

781
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 5: been to the day after Opening Day at Wrigley Field

782
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 5: a number of times.

783
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: When it was snowing.

784
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, the two of us, you and I and our

785
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 5: daughter went to game two at Wrigley Field one time

786
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 5: in thirty three and snowing like crazy. I think we

787
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 5: made it three or four innings at most and just

788
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 5: gave up. It was It was absolutely the most miserable

789
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 5: sporting event I've ever been at.

790
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the earliest full slates in

791
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 2: MLB history.

792
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, usually you think about April First three Day is

793
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 5: usually right around right around the time when we think

794
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 5: about Opening Day, but they keep moving it up earlier

795
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 5: and earlier. And yeah, you started talking about this about

796
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 5: how you know these games are on so many different

797
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 5: platforms that's really become a big challenge and even for

798
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 5: you know, leagues like the NFL, but certainly for Baseball,

799
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 5: it's it's hard to find your team and what channel

800
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 5: they're on because it is so fragmented and broken across

801
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 5: traditional cable and some are on local broadcast and then

802
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: some are on streaming. It's kind of a mess.

803
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: So I grew up a Cincinnati Reds fan. You grew

804
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: up a Chicago Cubs fan direct, so I'm gonna stick

805
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: with my allegiance to the Reds. However, there is a

806
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: new contender in the running this no, yeah, yeah, and

807
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: it's based on one player from the Dodgers.

808
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard about this guy, Kyle Hernandez.

809
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you were gonna say show hey o Tani, No, no,

810
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 5: what about ky? I know who Kyle Hernandez is.

811
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: Blowing up on social media. He's a good looking fella.

812
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: They do that sometimes. Yeah, the Instagram's not just for

813
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,200

814
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,160

Speaker 2: And yes, the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers, they got the

817
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: West Coast matchup tonight, so maybe we'll have to flip

818
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: back and forth between that and Purdue basketball.

819
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,920
