You've got that vacation tomorrow thing in your eyes, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: got that little glow, a little huge my cheeks here, 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: got that high pro glow that uh. 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: But or either that or the the fact that the 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 2: stock market is up over a thousand a day, that's 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 2: that's pretty good. With the word Trump has looked like 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: he's gonna wind things down in Iran. 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Well, and we also, you know, in talking about all 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: this rigmarole with the economy and the stock market up down, 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean way down, way up crazy. The economy is 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: all over the place investing in goal be well or 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: that's all the kind of crazy stuff. But then I 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: got this article from our good friend Dan Veroni today 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: and something you keep an eye on small business. 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, how they can possibly help kind of navigate things 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: here as there's some you know, different conflicts and intentions 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: going on. 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Yes, he is our economic strategist. He's been with us 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: many times before, keynote speaker, many places, Boundary, CEO, Potomy 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Core Dan Verroney, welcome back to the program. 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: I am pleased to be back, and happy afternoon to 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 3: both of you. 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: So, Dan, you sent us the article. I thought, you know, broadya, 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: I thought that was very interesting. Keep an eye on 25 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: small business. How are they how are they reacting to 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: all this. 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: You know, we're looking at an economy right now that 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: despite all the negative headlines you're hearing, the economy is 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: still growing, but it's under pressure from the rising costs, 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: the high interest rates, and global instability. At the same time, 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: we've got a very strong small business component in this country. 32 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 3: They comprised ninety nine point nine percent of all companies 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 3: here in the United States. They're feeling a little uncertain 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: and they'd like more certainty. And what I talked about 35 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: in the outed article that was published on Real Clear 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: Politics earlier today is is that the certainty for them 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: comes from accelerating their permitting timelines simplifying their compliance requirements. 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: And here's what I mean by that. If you're a 39 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: small company and you only have eight people working for you, 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: you need to be able to get decisions made quickly 41 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 3: because time is money, and you don't have the same 42 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 3: kind of cash balances that a big, major global corporation has. 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: So I wrote this for a reason because I believe 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: that if we're able to accelerate those permitting timelines simplify 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: these compliance requirements, I think that small businesses that are 46 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: on the sidelines right now will jump back in the game. 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: I think those in the game will move forward at 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: a faster pace. 49 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 4: And what that will do is. 50 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: Keep the economy growing and keep workers getting hired. And 51 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: that's why I wrote this article. 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: So, Dan, just currently, what is the largest sector that 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: small business could comprises in today's times? I don't think 54 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: it's shops, right, I mean, I think a lot of 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: people order stuff online. Still, So if if small businesses 56 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: are doing well, like what sector are they mostly dominating in? 57 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: You know, here's what's interesting. They're dominating in a number 58 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: of sectors. You know, that's one of the best kept 59 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: secrets in the US economy today. They're dominating in a 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: lot of ways. And I'm going to tell you an 61 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: interesting story. That not a story, it's the fact that 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: I learned when I was. 63 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: Writing my book. 64 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: Do you know that when we were getting ready to 65 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: prepare to launch the Moon back in the early nineteen sixties, 66 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: do you know that a lot of the subcontractors in 67 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: building the technology to get us to the moon, we're 68 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: small companies. The same still holds true today. You know, 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: when you look at the folks that build the aircraft 70 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: engines or the parts of the aircraft engines. There's the 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: people that build the parts for all the technical parts 72 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: of our economy, especially in Tullian machining. They are small 73 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: companies and what's fascinating to me is that if we 74 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: unleash them with you know, easing their permitting timelines and 75 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: their compliance requirements, they could really help the economy take off. 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking to Dan Varoni, and Dana would seem 77 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: to me that if anything's not affected by AI and 78 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: all the machinations behind all that, it would seem to 79 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: me that a small business might be not immune to it, 80 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: but one of the least victimized by it along the 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: way your thoughts, so. 82 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: You know interesting, So when you think of a small 83 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 3: business and again fewer people than a large global corporation, 84 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: you look at a tool like AI. 85 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: AI can help them. 86 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 3: It means those are people they don't have to go 87 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: out and hire, or they can make better use of 88 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: the people resources they have with that type of technology. 89 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: AI is a win for small business. 90 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: And in terms of the Trump administration, the big beautiful Bill, 91 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: what is that anything been done? And it results from 92 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: those things and again the entire administration in helping small businesses, 93 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 2: and if so, in what way. 94 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: So the entire administration, clearly on the tax side, has 95 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: been I think brilliant, probably the best set of new 96 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: tax laws that small business has ever seen. With one 97 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: hundred percent expensing for plants and equipment, it really. 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 4: Helps a lot. 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: But where small businesses still get hamstrung is on the 100 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: regulatory and permitting side. The President has directed the agencies 101 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,679 Speaker 3: to find ways to streamline permitting and regulations. But here's 102 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: the bigger point that I must make today, and that 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 3: is we look at regulations and permitting and compliance to 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: one lens, through the lens of the larger companies. But 105 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: I promise you that's the wrong way to look at it, 106 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: because the smaller companies can move at greater speed without 107 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: the same types of permitting regulations. They want to comply, 108 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: they want to play by the rules. But there ought 109 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: to be a better defined set of regulations for these 110 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: smaller companies so they don't have to run through all 111 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: the hoops that these major corporations have to. 112 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: One thing I hear a lot about dan is small 113 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: businesses having trouble finding workers, right, and especially workers that 114 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: want to stay because today's whether it's a mentality or 115 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: they're forced to do lots of job hopping going around. 116 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: What can you tell us about how that's effected small businesses. 117 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's effecting small businesses a lot. But what I'll 118 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: share with you is that in my book, there were 119 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 3: two companies in particular, one in South Carolina one in 120 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 3: Alabama that we're building relationships with the local vocational and 121 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: technical school and community colleges and they're getting them to 122 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: build programs and training that is serving as a pipeline 123 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: of workers for them. 124 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: So there are ways around that. 125 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 3: The other way around that is by making healthcare more 126 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: affordable for small businesses. And what I mean by that 127 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: is that association health plans where groups large groups of 128 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: small companies can band together and offer healthcare at a 129 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: lower price point that will attract and keep workers. Another 130 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: way to do that is to the thing that I 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: really like to talk about is how do you make 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: insurance more affordable? You allow it to be sold across 133 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: state lines. Right, So you do those two things that 134 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: help small businesses attract and keep workers, then you go 135 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: and you streamline their compliance and you accelerate their permitting timelines. 136 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: Then they're operating I think on a far more equal 137 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: plan field. 138 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, how many people? How many times have we heard 139 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: people say, look, I need to get this job so 140 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: I can have insurance. Let's face that's a driving force 141 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: in a lot of these cases. So let me let 142 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: me ask you, Dan, the overall picture you're talking about. 143 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Rod just brought up job hopping. What do you think 144 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: about this as a gig economy? Is that something we're 145 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: going to see go away where people just like, I'm 146 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: going to work here for five months and you know 147 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: then I have no career. I guess I'll find one 148 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: along the way. How does that work? 149 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: You know? 150 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: I think that we're moving into a different into a 151 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: different frame, and specifically, I think we are going to 152 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: see with AI a lot more small businesses opening. I'm 153 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: actually energized about that opportunity. And what people are going 154 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: to see is that small groups of people can band together, 155 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: they can start these small businesses, and they can create 156 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: lifetime careers with them. 157 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: It's I mean, I I'm pleasantly surprised by your article 158 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: and what you're saying here, Dan, because you know my 159 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 2: I guess the perception out there as small businesses are 160 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: crumbling and they can't find workers. And they discussed, and 161 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: but what you're saying, that's that's basically the opposite. 162 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: You know what was interesting again, I did fifty hours 163 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 3: worth of interviews with thirty five different small business owners 164 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 3: and leaders. They were optimistic, They are problem solvers, and 165 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 3: they find solutions in local communities. They've banned together to 166 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: help one another figure out solutions to their problems. Small 167 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 3: businesses are vital and they're essential to economic growth the country. 168 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: In order for the country to grow consistently at three 169 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 3: percent or better, small business needs to thrive and to 170 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: be doing well.

I 445 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 14: didn't hear a gunshot. I don't think there was a gunshot. 446 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 14: I'm just telling you that's what it looked like. Well, 447 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 14: the way people were running I heard. 448 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: I heard that there were some people who thought there 449 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: was an active shooter. That has been extright. 450 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 14: So what you know, And again I'm surmising here that 451 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 14: I have no basis of knowledge here. But did someone 452 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 14: yell gone and then everyone took off? Who knows, you know, 453 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 14: just to be cute. I don't know. So we see 454 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 14: swat people in swat geared stuff go running down there 455 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 14: and that. So my boss was down the with us, 456 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 14: and he's like, get off the set right now, because 457 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 14: I guess we're kind of the sitting ducks sitting up there. 458 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 14: So we took cover after about ten minutes and we 459 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 14: sent it back to the studio. So so if you 460 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 14: were watching that day and you were like, why did 461 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 14: they stop being down at the stadium, Well, that's why. 462 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 14: And so we had someone anchoring from the studio. They 463 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 14: took over. We had a meteorologist in studio, he took over. 464 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 14: And then by six o'clock we were like, well, seems 465 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 14: like nothing happened. Everyone was back to normal. 466 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: It was fine. 467 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 14: So we did our six o'clock show live from down there, 468 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 14: and I'm not kidding you, we said good night, you know, worldness, 469 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 14: tonight's next, have a good night whatever. We turn around 470 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 14: and it's happening again, same thing where just like one 471 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 14: hundred and fifty people are running for their lives north 472 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 14: into town and we're like the same thing, same thing. 473 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 14: Police are running down there. And at this point though, 474 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 14: the police had created kind of a barrier around, like 475 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 14: leading up to six o'clock where all the little vendors 476 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 14: were shutting down. So I don't know if they were 477 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 14: just like standing there to make sure that they didn't 478 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 14: have any problems getting out of there. I don't know 479 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 14: what the deal was, But anyway, this happens again where 480 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 14: everyone goes running and my boss at that point it's 481 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 14: like we're out here. Were supposed to do our seven 482 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 14: o'clock show live from down there, but he's like, we're 483 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 14: not doing that. Everyone out, so we there's and I 484 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 14: think you guys kind of understand, but when you put 485 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 14: together a live show like that, there is so much gear, right, 486 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 14: lights and cables and cameras and all the things. It 487 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 14: takes hours to set that up. We threw everything into 488 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 14: our truck within ten minutes. We just picked it up 489 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 14: and threw it in there. Our poor photographer Maddy had 490 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 14: to come back and then clean it all up, so 491 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 14: that took her another hour. But then you know, it 492 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 14: seemed fine again. Like I asked one of the squad 493 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 14: cops and like, so, what's going on. He's like, we 494 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 14: don't know, we don't know why this is happening. That 495 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 14: felt like just the beginning. My bosses were like, okay, 496 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 14: everyone out of here. As fasts possible. Walking pairs we did. 497 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 14: We had a car, Adrian and I had a car 498 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 14: parked for us, like at a parking lot not far away, 499 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 14: but at the banks. But it took us as solid 500 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 14: thirty minutes to go from the banks to our station, 501 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 14: which should take about a three or four minute time and. 502 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: That's tunny, just because the amount of people you had 503 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: to wade through. 504 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 14: Right, people just walking in the middle of traffic. There's 505 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 14: you know, there was no traffic cops helping anything, so 506 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 14: you know, cars would get the in the middle of 507 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 14: the intersection and so then you're waiting two or three 508 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 14: light cycles for them to clear, but they can't go 509 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 14: anywhere because there's people, horts of people, you know, and 510 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 14: the game had just let out, so there was lots 511 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 14: of that too. So I don't know what that was 512 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 14: all about. 513 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 15: Now. 514 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 14: My husband was at the game. They stayed till the end, 515 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 14: and they had to walk to the library and where 516 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 14: their car was parked, and he said it was just 517 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 14: like fight skirmishes everywhere, Like as they were walking up there, 518 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 14: it's like, oh my, what is happening in our downtown 519 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 14: right now. We ultimately get back to the station. I probably 520 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 14: got home about eight o'clock a fifteen, and I'm looking 521 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 14: at our we have, you know, a way of talking 522 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 14: to each other internal that you know, it's like a 523 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 14: system we call it. You know, it's like slack, you know, 524 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 14: it's black. It's called teams. And so I'm walking looking 525 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 14: at our teams breaking news thing, and it's like every 526 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 14: three minutes it's another one, like police are requesting help here, 527 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 14: police are requesting help there, Police say they, you know, 528 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 14: there's there's a problem down here. They're trying to disperse 529 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 14: the crowd here. And it was just what is going 530 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 14: on in our city? And I never felt scared per 531 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 14: se because my boss even said to me after the 532 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 14: five thirty thing that happened, he said, do you feel scared? 533 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 14: I said, no, I don't feel scared. I don't think 534 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 14: I'm a target for anyone. But after the thing happened 535 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 14: again at six, I was happy with the idea that 536 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 14: we were just gonna pull up stakes and get the 537 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 14: heck out of there. And I'm glad we did because 538 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 14: we'd stayed another hour. I don't know what that crowd 539 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 14: was like, because as it encroached on eight o'clock, it 540 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 14: got worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. 541 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 14: And stuff was happening, little stuff happening up at Walter Park, 542 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 14: bigger stuff happening at the banks. And you know, I'm 543 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 14: kind of jealous of some of these people, people on 544 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 14: x people on Instagram, who can post and repost everybody's stuff. 545 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 14: We aren't allowed to do that. We have to make 546 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 14: sure that we have the permission of the person who 547 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 14: shot the video and all that stuff. So sometimes feel like, well, 548 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 14: you're not showing this, Well, tell me who shot it 549 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 14: originally and let them give Have they give us written permission, 550 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 14: we'll show it. But I was watching videos of people 551 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 14: jumping on police officers backs of surrounding police officers as 552 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 14: they're trying to make an arrest that looked threatening. The 553 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 14: police had to let the person go in order to 554 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 14: move the crowd away from them, And I'm it was 555 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 14: as a citizen. I live in the city of Cincinnati. 556 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 14: I was like, what it really was mind boggling to 557 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 14: me that this was occurring on one of the most 558 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 14: special days in Cincinnati of all, you know, of the year, 559 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 14: perhaps the most special day of the year, and that's 560 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 14: Opening Day. It just it just it really broke my 561 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 14: heart a little bit. 562 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: And Tony, you've been doing Opening Day for a while, right, 563 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: so this is the this one stands out right in 564 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 2: terms of just the lawlessness and just the situation and 565 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 2: the crowds of people and the and the pushback or 566 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: actually disregard for authority, right stands alone. 567 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 14: Yeah, for sure. I mean and when I was looking 568 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 14: at the videos online, assuming they're all authentic, BUTI I 569 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 14: don't know why they wouldn't be to you know, clear 570 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 14: with someone shooting from their balcony onto down onto the 571 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 14: banks in that area. Yeah, the type of disregard for authority, 572 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 14: and it's it was dumbfounding. I sat there watching them 573 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 14: from home and thinking, this is my city. This is 574 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 14: not okay. And I don't know if it was a 575 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 14: bad confluence. It was a beautiful day. It was a 576 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 14: warm day. It was, you know, like today, eighty degrees 577 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 14: and just absolutely stunning outside, so everyone wanted to be outside, 578 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 14: and being down the banks, well that's free. You don't 579 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 14: have to pay to get inside, you know. Could they 580 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 14: charge a three or five dollars cover to get inside 581 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 14: that space? Would that have changed things? If it were 582 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 14: sixty five and drizzly, would we have had problems? I 583 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 14: don't know. 584 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 4: I don't think of that. 585 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, And that's what you fear is that 586 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: at some point these businesses are going to say, look 587 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: to cut down on the riff raft, We're just gonna 588 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: have to charge a fee. I have five dollars, a 589 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: seven dollars something that you know, and usually that's a 590 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: way that you can kind of mitigate, you know, some 591 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: of the some of the shenanigans that go on. 592 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: And that's unfortunately. 593 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 14: I was actually talking to someone yesterday who's kind of 594 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 14: you know, involved in the city. I had had breakfast 595 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 14: with her yesterday, and I said, why couldn't they charge 596 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 14: have someone at every gate you get a stamp, You 597 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 14: pay five bucks, you get a stamp, and then when 598 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 14: you go to whatever restaurant you go to or a vendor, 599 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 14: you get five dollars off of whatever food item you purchase, 600 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 14: and they put a mark through your stamp so that 601 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 14: you know they know it's been used. Like so you're 602 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 14: getting the money back by coming in. Because really, you know, 603 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 14: it's as disappointing as it was for me as a 604 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 14: as a resident of Cincinnati. I think about those businesses 605 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 14: down there. They count on that day to be their Christmas. 606 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 14: The servers count on those days. You know, they really 607 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 14: it is a mess for them and they are juggling 608 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 14: so many things and then to have it all you know, well, 609 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 14: we got to shut down because a couple of people 610 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 14: are being jerks.

It 665 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: sounds like the answer is no. 666 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: Well, let's get to an expert in this matter. He 667 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: is a relationship expert, the CEO of Quantum Communications. He 668 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: is doctor Jonathan Thorpe. Doctor. Welcome back to the program. 669 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 8: Eddy Rocky, good to be back. How are you so. 670 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: Great so, doctor Thorpe? I mean or are we wrong there? 671 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: When you go to people are doing this more and more, 672 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: going online and talking to CHET GPT or whatever the 673 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: case might be. And you tell it your your sorrows 674 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: and your troubles, and it gives you advice supposedly random advice, 675 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: but basically it kind of reads your whatever your vibe 676 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: you're right and tells you kind of what you want 677 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 1: to hear. Is that not correct? 678 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's exactly correct. 679 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 16: And if you think about a lot of the way 680 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 16: these things are designed that they're principally designed to do 681 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 16: two things. First, number one, they're looking for alignment and 682 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 16: number two, they're looking to amplify whatever matches. So what 683 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 16: that means is if you type in a question and 684 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 16: say here's what I believe or is this correct, it'll 685 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 16: look for patterns that are out in the world that 686 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 16: fit with what you've just asked, and it'll tell you 687 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 16: something the effective you know, you're looking at this exactly 688 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 16: the right way, or your sense is really keen, and 689 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 16: there are these really supportive words that it'll use to 690 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 16: get you drawn in. And then the very next thing 691 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 16: it'll do is they'll jump on that and support that. 692 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 16: As human beings, we want that as well. 693 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 2: So you just said the phrase it looks for patterns, 694 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 2: and by that, do you mean you know your past 695 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: search history, your Facebook comments? Is that what it's kind 696 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: of analyzing and going back and kind of seeing where 697 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 2: you really align on things and then things you and 698 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 2: going about it that way. 699 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 8: Is that what you're saying, Well, I suppose it could? 700 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 16: You know, most of these these chat engines have a 701 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 16: memory setting where you can actually have it record your 702 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 16: question history, and a lot of people leave that turned off. 703 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 16: I guess what I'm suggesting is is when I ask 704 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 16: it a question, it's searching the world, the world's known 705 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 16: scholarship for patterns that match the question I've just asked, 706 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 16: So other people that have asked or other theories that 707 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 16: line up with what I'm asking about, it'll find those 708 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,720 Speaker 16: patterns and say, hey, you're like a lot of people 709 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 16: that ask the same question. And as soon as they 710 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 16: say that, you're immediately supported by saying, Okay, I'm having 711 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 16: a conversation with someone that understands me and in a 712 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 16: way that feels really good. 713 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: So all it's doing is basically examining the history more 714 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: or less of other troubled people and giving you feedback 715 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: based on what they've been told. Right, So, in other words, 716 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: you're taking advice from other. 717 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 2: Crazy people who don't know what they want yet correct 718 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: And that. 719 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 16: May be true, but I don't know if that's quite 720 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 16: what I'm saying. I think what I'm saying is one 721 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 16: of the things it's doing is it's looking to find 722 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 16: alignment in your question with other things in the known world. 723 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 2: And again the other things in the known world that 724 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 2: are that are conducive to you, right, your opinions, your likes, 725 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 2: the things you like, things you've bought, right, I. 726 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 8: Think it can do that. 727 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 16: I don't want to scare everybody to think that every 728 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 16: chat engine is looking at that kind of experiential history. 729 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: So I just assume they are. 730 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I assume, and I 731 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: think most people assume. And just you've kind of thrown 732 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: up their hands at this point and say, yeah, my 733 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,720 Speaker 2: phone's listening to me. It's kind of you know, tracking 734 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 2: everything I type into it. If I if I tell 735 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 2: ed right now that boy, I haven't had oreos in 736 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 2: a long time, I guarantee you by the the end 737 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: of this next segment will be an oreo ad on 738 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 2: my computer, totally right. So we all see that it 739 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 2: makes sense that it would. It would it would kind 740 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 2: of formulate a pattern of things that you like and 741 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 2: give you give you those kind of comments. 742 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. 743 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 16: I mean that the power of these things is getting 744 00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 16: more and more phenomenal. 745 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 8: So sure when they do that, I bet it will. 746 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: Doctor Oh, I'm sorry, doctor Judg. Jonathan Thorpe is our guest, 747 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: and so doctor Thorpe, I mean basically, what this is 748 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: doing is you're I I think that what makes us 749 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: human is self analysis. You know, experience and going and 750 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: and and you know, you got to dig down and 751 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: think about yourself and you have to come to conclusions. 752 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: And this thing is more or less all it's doing 753 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: is telling you you're exactly right and that thought. Yeah, 754 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean right, it just kind of you're you're on 755 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: the you're on the right path, and all you're doing 756 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: is basically doing what human should be doing. 757 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 16: Anyway, I think I think you mentioned one of two 758 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 16: possible loops, right, there's an internal loop, which means we 759 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 16: should all be more self aware and we should challenge 760 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 16: ourselves what we think and. 761 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 8: What we believe. Certainly true, But I think you can't 762 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 8: stop there. 763 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 16: If you just maintained a conversation with AI, you're going 764 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 16: to get somebody that that routinely agrees with most of 765 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 16: the things you've just suggested or asked. Right, and I 766 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 16: think what we really need to be reminded of is 767 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 16: just use AI as a conditioning tool, as a prep 768 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 16: tool to then go out in the real world and 769 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 16: find some real objective conversations that will challenge us other 770 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 16: people that might risk telling you you know, I disagree 771 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 16: with what you say. I think you're wrong, and I 772 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 16: think that's critically important for us as human beings. 773 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 2: Here's the hard part, though, is from what everything I 774 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 2: understand and have you read about recently, I mean, so 775 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 2: much of the internet is AI. 776 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: Now, So where do. 777 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 2: You go to get just objective, factual information anymore? 778 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: You know? That's I think people would would would like that. 779 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: But where do you go? 780 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: And the internet seems to be full of a lot of 781 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 2: stuff that is conducive to what you want to hear. 782 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know the answer to 783 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 8: your question. 784 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 16: I think you have to assume that AI is playing 785 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 16: a large role in any kind of portal that's giving 786 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 16: you back information. 787 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 8: We just have to expect that. 788 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 16: And I think what we have to remind ourselves is 789 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 16: is don't stop there is just used that as a 790 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 16: conditioning check to see, you know, what is it? What 791 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 16: the kind of information have just about out and then 792 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 16: go back out and have real conversations with people to 793 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 16: kind of test that and check that and validate that. 794 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 8: So I don't know. In a way, that's my answer. 795 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: Now, that's kind of and I'm speaking from personal experience, 796 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: and I'm going back many many years when I got divorced, 797 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: whatever it was, thirty five forty years ago, I would 798 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: have long conversations with my mom on the phone because 799 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: guess why, I knew my mom was going to say, 800 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 1: you're right, yeah, I knew she had have my back. 801 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: And that sounds like what's going on here with Tako 802 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: with Ai? Am I correct there? 803 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 16: Well, well, think about it this way. Imagine if you 804 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 16: had a full length mirror in your bedroom that every 805 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 16: day you checked before you left the house, and let's 806 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 16: say say this mirror could talk back to you, and 807 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 16: pretend only that the mirror could say, hey, you're looking 808 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 16: great today. At some point you need a mirror or 809 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 16: a friend or a family member to say, hmm, not 810 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 16: sure I'd put those two things together, or in my case, 811 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,760 Speaker 16: a teenage son or daughter that's willing to say, Dad, 812 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 16: if you leave the house looking like that, you'll embarrass 813 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 16: the whole family, which fortunately I have, But we just 814 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 16: can't have one way mirrors in our lives. We have 815 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 16: to have viable, two way critical exchanges. 816 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 2: I agree with you, but I know if if my 817 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: wife asks me, does this do these pants make my 818 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 2: butt look fat? I can't answer honestly, you know, like 819 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 2: every man knows that right, dog? 820 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: And am I wrong? 821 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 8: There may no be staved answer to that question. 822 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: That's and you also have to be discerning when you 823 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: are asked about that.

The big thing that a lot 1148 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 20: of us were noticing is the TSA shutdown. 1149 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 21: There's those big lines at the airport. 1150 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 20: There's been a little bit of relief to that particular 1151 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 20: issue because President Trump signed executive order to. 1152 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 21: Pay some of those KEYSA agents, but there's a lot 1153 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 21: of other folks with an agency that are not getting paid. 1154 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 20: And this is a pretty big problem, especially because, as 1155 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 20: you mentioned, Congress is not here right now. They left 1156 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 20: down on Friday. They're not scheduled to be back until 1157 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 20: April fourteenth, which means those people are going to continue 1158 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 20: to go without paychecks, at least for the foreseeable future. 1159 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 2: And Ali explain to everyone Again, if they've forgotten, what 1160 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 2: is the Democrats issue with why they don't want to 1161 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 2: fund DHS and why they're kind of holding everything up here, 1162 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 2: which is why the TSA workers aren't getting paid and 1163 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 2: all that. What is their issue with what the spending bill? 1164 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 17: All? 1165 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 3: Right? 1166 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 20: So Democrats have been objecting to moving forward with a 1167 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 20: bill that funds all of the Department of Homeland Security 1168 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 20: because they have been demanding reforms to ICE and CDP. 1169 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 20: Mainly they want to see certain changes to the way 1170 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,439 Speaker 20: that immigration enforcement happens due to the fact that there 1171 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,440 Speaker 20: were those shootings in Minneapolis a few months back that 1172 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 20: caused them concern, right, So they're looking for reforms in ICE, 1173 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 20: things like asking officers to remove their masks wearing ID badges. 1174 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 20: They're asking that ICE not be president of places like 1175 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 20: schools or churches with sensitive areas, so you fand a 1176 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 20: large number of reforms that Democrats are asking for on 1177 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 20: that front. Now, negotiations on that kind of stalled out. 1178 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 20: There wasn't a very good password on that. So what 1179 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 20: the Senate did late Thursday into Friday morning is pass 1180 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 20: a bill that funds all of the JUST except for 1181 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 20: ICE and CDP with the. 1182 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 21: Hope that the other funding that Republicans approved earlier this year. 1183 01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 20: To fund ICE and CDP. 1184 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 21: Would sort of carry of agencies through. Everybody in the 1185 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 21: Senate got on boarded that it passed unanimously. 1186 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 20: But then the House of Representatives, Republicans got that bill 1187 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 20: and they looked at it and said, what the heck, 1188 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 20: we don't want to defund ICE, and so they decided 1189 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 20: to pass their own bill that is not going to 1190 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 20: pass the Senate. So sort of a tug of war 1191 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 20: going on with no clear pass forward. Nither chamber seems 1192 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 20: happy with the other chambers product, and we see that 1193 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:22,320 Speaker 20: there's a little bit of. 1194 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 21: Gridlock on Capitol Hill. 1195 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 2: I mean, the big question is is I mean Ice 1196 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 2: is already funded through the Big Beautiful Bill. So there's 1197 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,560 Speaker 2: nothing no funding in this in the current form that's 1198 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 2: going to go to ICE that that's already funded. So 1199 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 2: why would the why would they do this is the 1200 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 2: two things are not the same. 1201 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:41,439 Speaker 21: Well, that's a good point. 1202 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 20: So ICE is funded through the Big Beautiful Bill. They 1203 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,919 Speaker 20: got an infusionist cash from Republicans on that bill. 1204 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 21: In Republicans passed. 1205 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 20: Democrats don't want to provide additional funding for the agency. 1206 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 21: Without seeing reforms that I mentioned. 1207 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 20: So their sort of compromise here is they're not going 1208 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 20: to prove additional funding for the agency unless. 1209 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 21: They get those reforms. 1210 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 20: Without those reforms, they're willing to let funding for other 1211 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 20: parts of the Department of Homeland Security. So we're talking 1212 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 20: things like SEEMA, Cybersecurity and infrastructure, the Coast Guard to 1213 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,000 Speaker 20: go through. But they are saying they're not going to 1214 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 20: fund ICE if those reforms aren't in place. No, you're right, 1215 01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,320 Speaker 20: practically speaking, ICE is still getting paid to the big 1216 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,959 Speaker 20: beautiful bill while all these other agencies aren't. But that's 1217 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 20: still the way the Democrats are viewing the situation. 1218 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 1: Ali Pacoran is our guest from ABC and Ali cant. 1219 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 1: It seems to be the president. I in my lifetime 1220 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: certainly that presidents have called these guys back and go, 1221 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, screw your vacation, get your butts back here 1222 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 1: and let's get let's get the job done. Can the 1223 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:43,960 Speaker 1: president do that? 1224 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 20: So there's a lot of questions in Washington right now 1225 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 20: about where the president's legal authority to call Congress back is. 1226 01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:51,480 Speaker 21: Now. 1227 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 20: He's certainly encouraged the lawmakers to return to Washington to 1228 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 20: reconvene and try to figure this out. That's something he's 1229 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 20: been encouraging, but he hasn't gone so far as to 1230 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 20: try to mandate their return yet, And it's not really 1231 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 20: clear whether he a is going to or be where 1232 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 20: exactly his legal authority lies on that question. 1233 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 21: There's sort of a large range of opinions. 1234 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 20: He'd have to actually try it before we actually find 1235 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 20: out whatever that would happen. More likely, though, the political 1236 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 20: issue is going to force them back before anything else. 1237 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 20: What lawmakers are continuing to say that they will come 1238 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,200 Speaker 20: back to DC if a deal is reached that would 1239 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,640 Speaker 20: allow them to get some sort of funding through. So 1240 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 20: the fact that they aren't coming back tells us that 1241 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,920 Speaker 20: they haven't yet struck a deal behind the scenes. Until 1242 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 20: that moment comes, these guys feel that if they came 1243 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,720 Speaker 20: back to Washington, they would just be kind of back 1244 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 20: at square one, staring at each other with had a 1245 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 20: very clear path forward. They're not going to do it 1246 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 20: for now. We had lawmakers on both times d I'll 1247 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 20: tell us yesterday because they don't really see a point 1248 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,440 Speaker 20: in sending all of the lawmakers back to DC while 1249 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,920 Speaker 20: there's still no clear path forward. 1250 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: All right, with that, Ali, we will let you go. 1251 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for the info.
