1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I saw a great definition of socialist over the weekend.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: It's the person who wants everything you have except for

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: your job and your responsibilities.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is pretty good. Is that an indication that

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: talkback service is working again? No?

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: No, I download them all as they come in, and we,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 3: you know, being the show that we are and the

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: goober listeners that we have, they leave quite a bit

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: as the show goes on. I can all, I can,

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: cannot always get to them all, which is why on

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: the podcast page you'll see daily daily talkbacks, and there's

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: you know, ten, twelve to fifteen minutes worth of talkbacks

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: every day. So I'm just going through what I have

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: since we can no longer access the talkbacks.

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Okay, well, the reason I ask is goober number ninety

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: five four rights Mike. Now, we listeners know that the

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: talkback service is hosted on Amazon Web Service servers. Shame

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: on you.

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: It could it could not be. It was working earlier,

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: it's not working now. I don't know, but I asked

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: you doing the break. I've never thought about our servers.

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: I've always kind of assumed that we had our own

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: servers and that we didn't rely on Amazon Web Services

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: or anything. Do you have any idea.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: I have no freaking clue, but I say I heart

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: out front. So there's that.

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: And we know that oftentimes it doesn't work. So there's that.

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: Amazon I thought had a fairly reliable note backbone, but

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: what'll I know. And then ninety two twenty four rights Mike,

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: to protect your talkbacks, maybe you should buy servers and

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: not depend on other web services. The new web services

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: depend on you, not Amazon or Microsoft, Microsoft or any

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: third party. I just don't know. I don't know whether

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: we're part of that meltdown overnight or not. But what's

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: interesting is let me refresh the page that's still the

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: lead story on Drudge and I really don't know anything

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: about it yet. So we'll see see what happens, see

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: what comes of it. Three major three labor unions filed

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: a federal lawsuit last week. They accused I swear I

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: could just do I could do four hours a day,

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: five days a week, just do the weekday program on

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: nothing but just analyzing all the lawsuits filed against either

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: Trump himself or you know, one of his cabinet members

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: or one of the departments or agencies. It's like Trump

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: decides I went dyke coked with my cheeseburger today and

46
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: somebody files a lawsuit. Good grief, you know what this

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: one is. They're accusing the administration of violating the constitutional

48
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: rights of the labor unions through an artificial intelligence powered

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: surveillance program that monitors the online speech of non citizens

50
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: for extremism. I don't want to tell you any other

51
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: part of the story until I say this. If you're

52
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: engaged in online speech, you know you are. By the way,

53
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: thanks for everybody that followed me on X. You know,

54
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: the weekday program doesn't do a very good job, becaurse.

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: I don't beg for your follows on X, but the

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: weekend program got me over the twenty two thousand, two

57
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: hundred mark over the weekend. So you gubers are clearly slouches.

58
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: Well, they just don't know any better.

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Yet, they don't know any better in what regard.

60
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: The new beasts. They just the weekend people that they

61
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 3: just don't know you very well yet.

62
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I see, So they're still falling for the

63
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: for the crap of Hey, come and follow me on

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: X at Michael Brown USA. Yeah exactly. Well let's see

65
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: if we can't Let's see if we can't get some

66
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: from this program. Let's see if we can't find enough

67
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: nerds out there. They haven't quite figured this program out yet.

68
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: Go follow me on X at Michael Brown USA. Let's

69
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: get to twenty two to three. See, Well, we'll do that.

70
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: But if I go, if I go post something on X,

71
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: I well, in fact, I know because some of them

72
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 2: follow me. I don't think for a moment that that's

73
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: just like if I post something on X, that dragon's

74
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: the only one that reads it, and he barely reads them.

75
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I post something on X, I assume that some nerds

76
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: sitting in Bangladesh, or sitting in Yemen, or sitting in

77
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Texas that little pizzant place UH is reading it. I

78
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: assume that if somebody that's working at the NSA wants

79
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: to read what I post on X, they can go

80
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: read what I post on X. And if they want

81
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: to use some program to search for words that I use,

82
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: like you know, fu NSSA and I put that up there,

83
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: that's somebody at the NSA is probably going to see that.

84
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: It's it's like me going out with a megaphone standing

85
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: out here on the on the front drive, you know,

86
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: screaming into the into the in today's wind about whatever

87
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to scream about. It's out there for whoever

88
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: I can hear it, can hear it. I you're suing

89
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: because it says surveillance program. The United Auto Workers, the

90
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: Communication Workers of America, and the American Federation of Teachers.

91
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: Why I'm glad they're You know, if you're a teacher

92
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: and you're spending your union dues, uh, and you can't

93
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: you know, you can't afford to buy a new car

94
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: or whatever because your union dues are so high, you

95
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: should know that they're going to pay lawyers so that

96
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: they can sue the administration because they're reading your x

97
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: timeline or they're looking through your Instagram, they're looking through

98
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: your Facebook. Oh holy crap. They filed this lawsuit on

99
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: October sixteenth, just into last week, in the Southern District

100
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: of New York. Does that sound familiar. Maybe they'll get

101
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: Judge Ergowan again. The lawsuit targets the Department of State

102
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: Homeland Security, and they claim that they're operating a surveillance

103
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: system that flags disfavor viewpoints on social media for immigration review.

104
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: If you don't want them now, First of all, operating

105
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: a surveillance system that flags disfavored viewpoints. Now it is.

106
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: It's a computerized artificial intelligence program that searches for keywords,

107
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: and I guess when the keywords get flagged, then they

108
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: look at your name and check to see if you're

109
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: here legally or not. Do you know how you can

110
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: avoid that? Don't post anything on X, don't say anything

111
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: stupid or well. That might be hard for some people

112
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: to do. I know that this seems counterintuitive, but when

113
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: you exercise free speech and you do it on one

114
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: of these platforms, you're not limiting it to anybody. It's

115
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: no different than writing a letter to the editor. If

116
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: the newspaper decides to publish your letter to the editor

117
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 2: and you talk about let's just say that I wanted

118
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: to write a letter to the editor and my letter

119
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: to the editor was just how bad I heeart is?

120
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: I heart just sucks. I heart won't give me new computers.

121
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: I heart won't clean up the studio, I heart won't

122
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: do this. I heart who I'm kind of doing that

123
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: right now, aren't. I'm just I'm kind of listening to

124
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: things that I kind.

125
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: A bit of Keep keep going, yeah, go ahead, just

126
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: keep going.

127
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: If I write that in a letter to the editor

128
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: and then Brenda or Jojo or or Temper read it.

129
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: They I might get, like a visit through the studio.

130
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: They might be like, hey, we read your letter to

131
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: the editor. Just cool. Look at your contract. Let's see

132
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: what your contract says. Oh yeah, you disparaged the company.

133
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: Oh let's have a talk. In fact, here's your check.

134
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: Maybe have your key card? Please? Too much? I say, well,

135
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: it doesn't work anyway, So what do you want my

136
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: key card for. I don't get why people are so

137
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: upset that something they publish on a publicly available platform

138
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: worldwide is being read by a bureaucrat somewhere in the

139
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: NSA or DHS or the state Department. How stupid do

140
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: you have to be? Well, I think we know pretty

141
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: damn stupid. The unions are arguing this is their argument

142
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: that the program is chilling free expression, claiming that non

143
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: citizens are now self censoring or avoiding political and union

144
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: activity to prevent any visa issues. Wait a minute, if

145
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: you have a visa issue, that's the problem, not that

146
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: you said something. The fact that you said something is

147
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: simply drawing attention to yourself so that you know it

148
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: would be like if if if, I, I don't. I

149
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: don't want to use that example because somebody, let's let's

150
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: just say that you're a you're a TV news anchor

151
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: and you're doing a story about taxes, and you and

152
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: you say on the news program, hey, guess what, I

153
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: cheatd my taxes every year. I guess you know, I

154
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: think that you ought to just you know, cheat, cheat, cheat,

155
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: cheat on your taxes. And then suddenly the I R

156
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: s some IRS agent here's that, and goes, huh, maybe

157
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: maybe I should look at that person's returns. Well, that's

158
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: just stupid. Don't do that.

159
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: It's I It's like the bad guys after they robbed

160
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: the bank, showed a shoot a little selfie and posted

161
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: on an intag game going look at all this money.

162
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Look at yeah, look at it, and look at the

163
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: nice little bag I got at Central National Bank. Oh,

164
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: by the way, don't don't pay any attention to the

165
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: red dye on my fingers, the purple dye, whatever it is,

166
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: don't pay any attention to that. Just look at them.

167
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: I won the lottery at Central National Bank.

168
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: How about you try not to publicize your crimes.

169
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: Bingo. They're all concerned about executive Order fourteen one sixty one,

170
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: signed by the President on his first day in office,

171
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: well actually the second day in office on the second term,

172
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: January twenty, twenty twenty five, in which he directed federal

173
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: agencies to screen foreign nationals for hostile attitudes and to

174
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: expand inner agency efforts to identify ideological or cultural threats.

175
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Now they say that, they say, the unions say, or

176
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: they allege that this order has led to these are

177
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: revocations based not on security concerns, but on what they

178
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: consider constitutionally protected speech, to which I would counter if

179
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: I were the lawyers in this case, I would say, yes,

180
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: you have constitutionally protected speech. You are here as a guest,

181
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: and you are free to exercise your speech all you want.

182
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: But when you say bad things about the country and

183
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: you're here as a guest, we have a program that's

184
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: going to show us what you said, and we're going

185
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: to look at it. And if you are here and

186
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: you've you know, maybe you lied on your visa application,

187
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: maybe you said that you're not a member of a

188
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: terrorist organization, But in further review, based on your constitutionally

189
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: protective speech, we discover that you, oh, you're actually a

190
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: member of AMAS. Or you're a member of Hesba law,

191
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: or you're a member of al Qaeda, or you've got

192
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: you know, family in Tehran that's you know, the that's

193
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: the brother of one of the Molas or something. Can

194
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: we by looking to your visa a little further, you're

195
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: calling attention to yourself. You're just being a dumb ass,

196
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: dumb dumbass in doing so, right, it's crazy. Galnall's fucking

197
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: galnas Fokhem me Faukimi, who's the legal director of Muslim Advocates,

198
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: one of the Yahoosa supporting the lawsuits, says this the

199
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: administration is hunting online for an ever growing list of

200
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: disfavor viewpoints. Huh now. The State Department, in response to that, says,

201
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: we will continue to revoke the visas of those who

202
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: put the safety of our citizens at risk. Crazy the

203
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: International Union, United Automobile, Airspace and Agriculture implement Workers of

204
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: the United of America at all versus the United States

205
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: Department of State at all Now. It could have significant

206
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: legal ramifications. It is expected to test the extent of

207
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: First Amendment protections for foreigners and the constitutionality of you

208
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: listen closely. I think this is the key issue the

209
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: constitutionality of using digital surveillance in immigration enforcement. I think

210
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: that's perfectly legitimate. If if you can use artificial intelligence,

211
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: or you can just open the laptop, go through. You know,

212
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: you've got a list of people, Mike Michael, here's your

213
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: list today of student foreign visas. UH go check out

214
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: their social media accounts, see what they say. What's the

215
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: difference between me doing that as a bureaucrat, as a

216
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: as an Immigration and Customs enforcement officer, as a State

217
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: department employee, or a DHS employee. And I've been given

218
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: a list of student visas to review. See if they

219
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: are violating the law. See if they are, you know,

220
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: saying bad things about the country, See if there is

221
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: you know, if they are actively engaged in the support

222
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: of a terrorist organization. I think one of the easiest

223
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: things to do to see whether or I want to

224
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: dig further into somebody's visa is to go look at

225
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: their social media profile. What are they saying? Are they

226
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: also are they giving a big cardboard check made out

227
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: to Hamas for you know, one million dollars and they're

228
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: presenting it while they're over in in Goaza somewhere. Yeah,

229
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: then I might dig further in there. Six thousand, six

230
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: thousand student visas so far this year and we're almost done.

231
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: Six thousand student visas have been revoked so far this year.

232
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: So once again I get that it's constitutionally protected free speech,

233
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: and you are allowed to go engage in that speech,

234
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: just as you are allowed to go falsely shout fire

235
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: in the theater. You're just going to suffer the consequences

236
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: If falsely shouting fire in the theater causes death or injury,

237
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: then you're going to be held liable for it. Now,

238
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: if you want to go out and you want to

239
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: vocally support a designated terrorist organization who has vowed to

240
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: bring down the United States of America, and you are

241
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: offering financial or otherwise, you know, substance support to that

242
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: terrorist organization, you can talk about it all you want.

243
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: You're free to post about it, tweet about it, put

244
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: pictures up on Instagram, whatever you want to do, but

245
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: you'll suffer the consequences of it. In other news, I

246
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: filled up with gas yesterday. Premium unleaded at Sam's Club

247
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: was two dollars and ninety three cents a gallon. I

248
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: actually did a double take. I mean I'm not kidding.

249
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: I thought maybe I misread it. I thought, me, I

250
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: didn't think it was like three ninety three, but I

251
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: thought maybe it was. You know, it was like three something.

252
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: I just missed it. So I've bent over because the

253
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: sun was shining on it just right, and sure enough,

254
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: two ninety three for premium unleaded. I wanted to get

255
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: a sticker of Donald Trump that says I did that

256
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: and put it up there, and when we get back,

257
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: I'll explain why. I do believe that. Oh, Trump's energy

258
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: dominant strategy and the gods a piece deal, I think

259
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: that's leading to the plunge in gas prices.

260
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: Michael, Just think who the president was in the early nineties,

261
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: President moral, I mean Clinton.

262
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: Watch out for those cigars, Okay, I don't think that

263
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: I'm part of the group that needs to worry about

264
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: the cigars. I think that's over there on the other side.

265
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: Two dollars ninety three cents. I was ecstatic. Trump's push

266
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: to boost energy output is actually delivering savings to consumers.

267
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: Gas prices across the country or nearing their lowest point

268
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: in four years. So all those Biden stickers about I

269
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: did that, Yes, he did do that. TRIPAA forecasts the

270
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: national average for regular gasoline to drop below three dollars

271
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: a gallon. That's a level unseen since twenty twenty one.

272
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: Now go over to gas buddy. Prices are decreasing in

273
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: almost every state, some regions possibly getting below two dollars

274
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: a gallon. Two dollars below a gallon in the week's ahead.

275
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: It's a downward trend line, and that downward trend line

276
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: has held steady over the past week, month, and year,

277
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: And obviously that's welcome relief to drivers, which means we

278
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: can go drive more, we can burn up more hydrocarbons.

279
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: I believe that this trend line is linked directly to

280
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: record high domestic oil production delivered or driven in part

281
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 2: by Trump's drill baby, drill energy stray rategy, by the

282
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: stabilization of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East with

283
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: his facilitation of that Gazza deal we talked about earlier,

284
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: and the end of the Israeli Iranian conflict at least

285
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: of the time being. Mark shield Drop, a spokesman for

286
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: the Triple A Northeast, highlighted that the oil and gas

287
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: markets are anticipating a potential global surplus of oil. That

288
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: expectation follows OPEC and their member country's commitment to increase

289
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: production through the winter, again under partly in the Trump's influence.

290
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: So the price of a barrel of domestic crude oil

291
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: fell below sixty bucks a barrel last week, and its

292
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: crude prices drop. The cost of producing gasoline also decreases.

293
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: But it was interesting because as I was looking through

294
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: Lexus Nexus last night and looking for stories about this,

295
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: none of them talked about the ripple effect of it.

296
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: Maybe that's because I looked. If it costs less to

297
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: deliver your bud Light to the grocery store, at some point,

298
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: bud Light, in order to increase share, may you know,

299
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: start dropping their prices. The same is true for everything

300
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: that shows up at one of the malls or the

301
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: shops at you know, ends up in a department store,

302
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: ends up at the pet food store, whatever it might be.

303
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: Those costs of production, the cost of transportation, all of

304
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: those costs start to drop. May not happen overnight, but

305
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: the trend line's going in the right direction. And as

306
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: long as the trend line's going in the right directions,

307
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: then I'm fine with that, because well, that's good news

308
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: for both you and me. Speaking of talking about who

309
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: is president when or Bill Clinton? I started reading that.

310
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: I didn't buy the book, don't I did not by

311
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: the book, But according to some excerpts toward the end

312
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: of the book titled one hundred and seven Days, written

313
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: by Kamala Harris, there's something called the check Up Podcast.

314
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Though she was meant to be having a short interview

315
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: about Bobby Kennedy Junior, the host suddenly asked if the

316
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: then vice president could talk on the hoof a bit

317
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: about some of her star issues healthcare costs, women's health,

318
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: healthy meals for kids. Apparently, at least according to these excerpts,

319
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: Harris funtin, I shouldn't say. According to the excerpts, According

320
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: to the reports about the excerpts, Harris fumbles for her

321
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: briefing sheet. She's suddenly trying to find a piece of

322
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: paper with talking points on it. How do I answer

323
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: the question? For any media appearance. Harris required one of

324
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 2: those sheets listing the questions to be asked and the

325
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: answers to every single question. It's not there. She can't

326
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: find it. After the interview, she apparently screams at her

327
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: staff the Romans. The ancients used to warn that a

328
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: republic would lead to the rule of silver tongue of

329
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: democracy in particularly a democracy, or this is the right word,

330
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: a democracy would lead to the rule of demagogues who

331
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: would promise the mob anything. In fact, it's been a

332
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: good deal worse than that. What often seems like the

333
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: closing years of on liberal democracy on a constitutional republic,

334
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: have instead given us a garrison of politicians with neither

335
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: an eye for detail nor a gift of gab. Instead,

336
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 2: it's just been a series of shuffling figures with no

337
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: discernible agenda. I thought a lot about that over the

338
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: weekend doing show prep, thinking about what's going on. We

339
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: talked earlier about the shuffling going on in communist China,

340
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: the problem with them re engineering, trying to re engineer

341
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: a chip from TSMC and then being unable to put

342
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: it back together, reaching out to the company in Netherlands

343
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: to come, hey, can you come and help us fix

344
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: a quote broken ship, and then they get there and

345
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: realize it's not broken, so they informed TSMC that, oh no,

346
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: they were trying to re engineer this thing. All of

347
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: these things that are going on in the world what's

348
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: been the biggest change of all and compare and contrasts

349
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: that to what it might be like under Harris presidency,

350
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: and compare and contrast what's going on now to indeed

351
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: what it exactly was like during a Biden presidency. We

352
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: slept walk, We walked in our sleep through those four years.

353
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: That mumbling, bumbling old fart had no clue what was

354
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: going on. And that's when the world blew up. Inflation,

355
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 2: the wars breaking out, all of the conflicts, all of

356
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: the denigration of our society starting with George Floyd, and

357
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: going through all of those riots, everything that occurred. It

358
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: seems like ancient history, but it's so important. In reading

359
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: these excerpts about the story and thinking the book one

360
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 2: hundred and seven days, and then thinking about the Biden administration,

361
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: she had more than one hundred and seven days. She

362
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: had four years, because at any moment, particularly considering what

363
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: we know now about his mental and physical condition, he

364
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: could have dropped off asleep and never woken up. At

365
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: any moment. She never did anything to get prepared. She

366
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: didn't do anything. She could have taken on any number

367
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: of issues and taken them on as her portfolio in

368
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: order to prepare to become and run for president. But

369
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: I think she's one. I think she's stupid. I really

370
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: do believe she's stupid. Second, I think she's lazy. I

371
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: don't think she really wanted to do the work. She

372
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: just wanted the title. Hey, I'm the vice president. I

373
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: can go talk to kids about Oh, look up at

374
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: the stars, look at this guy. We put a man

375
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: on the moon. Blah blah blah blah. She's that kind

376
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 2: of idiot, an airhead, if you will. And then you

377
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 2: combine that with the old fart who's sleeping through most

378
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: of the day, and so the world goes to crap.

379
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: We see that, and so what do we do. We say, Okay,

380
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: our choice is same old, same o, except probably worse

381
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: an airhead. And now we've got Trump back again. And

382
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: Trump's campaigning like the energizer bunny, going into places that

383
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: other candidates, other Republican candidates, would have just written off,

384
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: totally written off, but instead he goes into the belly

385
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: of the beast, and he ends up winning those That's

386
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: the backlash. That's why Democrats today are without any sort

387
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: of message. Go back to the book for a moment.

388
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: The hours when you read these excerpts the hours in

389
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: that administration, based on her description and the excerpts that

390
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: I've read, if the hour feels late, not just because

391
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: of the looming election, decisions are being made by these brokers,

392
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: by these staffers in hidden rooms, rooms that you know.

393
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 2: The hero, the want to be hero. Tamala Harris is

394
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: seldom in by her own admission, a cipher for her advisers,

395
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: who feed her treats or Dorrido's when she pleases them.

396
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: Harris gains the nomination for the presidency through a palace intrigue.

397
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 2: After Biden's infirmity is finally exposed, her first thought is

398
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: that his advisors should have done a better job at

399
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: concealing it. And there's all the van glorious talk from

400
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: then Outspeaker Pelosi and others about how Biden has no

401
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: obligation to debate a convicted felon like Donald Trump. That's

402
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: kind of odd, isn't it. Is it because he has

403
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: no obligation to debate a convicted fellain like Donald Trump?

404
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: Or is it because they knew that that would expose him,

405
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: and by exposing him, that would cause what ultimately did happen,

406
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: his downfall and we would end up with her. It's

407
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: all a very strange, surreal world that somehow manages to

408
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: be both deeply cynical deeply naive. And it's fitting that

409
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: this vague and giggling figure, this cackle woman, should be

410
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: the final spokesman for that era. By the middle of

411
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: the Biden presidency, the world is in decay, absolute decay,

412
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: and many people and here's what most people, I think

413
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: have a hard time grasping. They want the decay. That's

414
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: the Cloward Pivet strategy. Give us the decay so that

415
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: we can step in and save the world. And what

416
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 2: happened once again, just like in twenty fifteen sixteen, Trump

417
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: steps in and messes up the plant.

418
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Great video of RFK Junior and Cheryl Hines boarding a

419
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: flight over the weekend. And where are they sitting on

420
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the plane? Oh economy. But remind me again who takes

421
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: private chets? Oh that would be Bernie Sanders, AOC and

422
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren and those three are talling you to go

423
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: protest no King's Day.

424
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: It is so hypocritical, it's so delightfully such delicious hypocrisy.

425
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: News is just breaking that China is now accusing the

426
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 2: NSA of conducting cyber attacks on China's National Time Service Center.

427
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: That's a facility that's critical to China's communications, their financial systems,

428
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: and all their defense infrastructure. According to the Chinese Ministry

429
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: of State Security, the NSA allegedly used forty two types

430
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: of what they described as special cyber attack weapons to

431
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: infiltrate the National Time Services Center's internal networks between twenty

432
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: twenty three and t twenty four. The allegations released in

433
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: the public statement have not been backed by verifiable evidence.

434
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: We've not issued a response. That organization provides vital systems,

435
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: including satellite navigation, power grids, comms networks. China State Broadcaster

436
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: warned that such attacks could disrupt key national timing systems,

437
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: compromise operations and substations. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

438
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: Interesting that the timing of their app accusations coincides with

439
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: the large scale allege at Amazon web Services, the cloud

440
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: computing division of Amazon. Amazon Web Services, which began on

441
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: this day sometimes overnight affected their web services in the

442
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: Eastern Region, disrupted Snapchat, Fortnite signal Robinhood, Venmo and AWS

443
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: confirmed the disruption was due to increased error rates latencies,

444
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: and reported that the issue was fully result later in

445
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: the day. They say that China's claims have drawn international attention.

446
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: The US is repeatedly blamed Chinese state backed actors first

447
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: cyber operations targeting our infrastructure. In this past December, the

448
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Treasury Department confirmed that hackers linked to China exploited a

449
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: vulnerability through a third party security vendor and gained access

450
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: to unclassified Treasury workstations. Same thing happened in May of

451
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, the Chinese infiltrated targeted water facilities. July

452
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: of this year, Microsoft revealed that Chinese hackers exploited a

453
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: zero day vulnerability to breach multiple organizations, including the National

454
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: Nuclear Security Administration. So little tit for tat going on? Maybe,

455
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: and maybe when we did the tit for tat back

456
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: from them attacking us, maybe we overstepped. Maybe we kind

457
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: of messed up
