1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Michael.

2
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Now that nuclear energy is considered green clean energy in Colorado,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: the smartest thing they could do is build a small

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: nuclear reactor right outside of DIA and power it forever.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: That would be the smartest thing. Not sure they could

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: do that, probably because it would take fifteen or twenty

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 2: years to get.

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: On Permnywhere there you go.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: You got all right, you got good idea? Yeah you

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: got to uh yeah, one more thing.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 4: I just want to dive back to a couple of

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 4: text messages I saw on the at.

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: Three because I want to draw you what she Kathleen

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: just said to what you and I were just talking about.

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: You go ahead?

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: The three three one oh three text line.

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: Text Mike or Michael or Mike or Michael, right, and

18
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 4: which I say. But several people have brought up the

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: fact that, hey.

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, didn't we see this in a movie

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 5: die Hard too? The plot of the movie was taken

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: out of the air power at the airport, and that

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 5: movie came out five years before DIA opened.

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: Is that when they came out nineteen ninety? Wow? Oh, okay,

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: go ahead? Do you think?

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: Well, let's think about Kathleen's point about I mean, she's

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: going she's going along really strongly about you know, just

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: a small modular reactor, right and SMR, great idea, right

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: of course. Yeah, Let's let's think about the consultants, the engineers,

30
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 3: the design, the permitting, the construction, the testing and then

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: connecting and then the testing, and then the environmental impact statements,

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: the lawsuits, everything else. You and I will be dead, right,

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: we'll be dead probably. Yeah. Now, let's compare and contrast

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: that with a woman who's notenty six years old. I

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: want to jump back one more time.

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: I'll get a half step back here, all right, half

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: step all right, let's just remember that. Okay, the city

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: spent what one hundred thousand dollars or more to figure

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: out if Penya Boulevard needed to be widened.

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 3: Well, all they need to do is just drive it.

41
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Right, So just all right, there's a half STEP's go for.

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: Okay, good point. So we would we would have all

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: of those costs and then the uh cost of money

44
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: over time costs and then just the time costs also

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: of doing a small modular reactor out there, So twenty

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: thirty forty years before we'd actually get that done. Let's

47
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: compare and contrast that to a ninety six year old

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: woman comes out on Wednesday, Wednesday, I think may.

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Have been Wednesday evening or so could we were talking

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: about it.

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: Yesterday, so you're right. So on Wednesday evening, a ninety

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: six year old woman I think from California. I'm not

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: quite sure, but I think California comes out with a

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: letter alleging that she had an illicit affair or was

55
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: and or was abused by Caesar Chavez. And in less

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: than twenty four hours, what.

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: Dragon Uh, the bust was taken down and the park

58
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: is renamed.

59
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: Wow.

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: So when you want to do something that might hurt

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: you politically or might be blowback politically, you can get

62
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: that done in a New York minute. You can get

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: it done. You can get it done before the story's

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: even been vetted to see.

65
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: Whether it's true or not.

66
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: Just the allegation.

67
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: Michael innocent and too proven guilty.

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Oh that I you know, I need to go to

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: the re education camp. But he is over.

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: But he's dead, so it's fine.

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: Oh I love that? Is that it?

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: He's dead?

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: It must be yeah, he's dead, right, So we can

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: get the bus down, the plaque down, and the park

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: rename in less than a day. And Kathleen must to

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: build a small modular reactor. Must be new here, She

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: must be new here. She's been working in Denver too long.

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: Bless her little pee pick and Art. Okay, let's go back.

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: So I want to get to the main event. You

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: know what happened. Excel crews were powering up a new

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: transform at one of the two substations that served the

82
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: IA when it failed. Now the other substation was only

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: able to partially serve the airport. There wasn't a storm.

84
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: We haven't had any thunderstorms, not an act of God.

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: It was a scheduled equipment upgrade. Let that sink in,

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: because that's the most foreseeable kind of power disruption imaginable.

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: And the powers that be everywhere from the mayor through

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: the City Council, through the CEO out of DIA to

89
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: all of the rug rants and the engineers and everybody else,

90
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: and Excel Energy all the way from the CEO all

91
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 3: the way down to the maintenson and the construction crews.

92
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: Nobody thought that was possible, and the airport had no

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: defense against it. So let me give you the technical

94
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: architectural problem that I don't think anybody's willing to explain.

95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: Here's what the twenty nineteen article revealed about why the

96
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: backup system doesn't work the way that people like me

97
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: assumed that it should. Denver found opportunities to inject additional

98
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: redundancy for mission critical loads at the lower voultage side.

99
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: But you know why they didn't do it, They concluded

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: it was quote this is according to the magazine. By

101
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: the way, let me just stop again and ask where

102
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: were the investigative journalists in this in the city, in

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: this state. I know we get some really good ones.

104
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: Brian Moss, I think is one of the best investigative

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: journalists in the entire country. And I'm not trying to

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: criticize Brian. I'm just saying, why are people not asking

107
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: these questions? Why is it left to a stupid, dumb,

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: you know, white guy talk show host to point these

109
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: things out? Oh I'm too old to do all the

110
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: heavy lifting around here. Denver International Airport found opportunities to

111
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: inject additional redundancy for mission critical loads at the lower

112
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: voltage side, meaning you would not have to step it

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: down before it got into the main line going into

114
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: the airport. Can you imagine, you know what the main

115
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: line going into the airport is dragged. It just struck me.

116
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: They went to home depot and they bought an extra

117
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: long one of those orange extension courts, they heavy duty ones.

118
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: They accidentally bought the two pronged one versus two.

119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: Bought the two. They didn't buy the one with the

120
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: grounding plug in it. They bought the two prong one,

121
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: and in fact they didn't have enough on long enough,

122
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: so they're all just looked together. That's what you got it.

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: So next time you see an orange line out at DIA,

124
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: that's the power going into the airport. Kimminy Christmas sad

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: part isn't having too much fun with the story. Anyways.

126
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: Let me finish what I was going to say for

127
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: the interrupt me. Dragon Denver found opportunities to inject additional redundancy,

128
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: and that redundancy was for mission critical loads, so it

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: was going to be at the lower voltage size so

130
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have to step it down when you got

131
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: to the fence line. But guess what DA concluded It

132
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: was just not cost effective for any airport to carry

133
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: redundancy down to every single end load. Wow, Because that's

134
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: a financial decision that gets dressed up as an engineering decision,

135
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: and it's the actual answer to my question about why

136
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: don't we have backup? The airport has emergency generators, Oh,

137
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: but they're for the air traffic control tower. They got

138
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: battery backups, but that's for the data center. But what

139
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: about the training system, the escalators, the TSA conveyor belts,

140
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: the TSA X ray machines, what about the jet bridges.

141
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: DiiA deliberately chose not to provide generator backup for every

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: potential load, and instead they opted for targeted, application specific

143
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: solutions while they spend time, meaning hiring their buddies for consultants,

144
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: hiring their buddies for engineers to explore, well, you want

145
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: to explore micro grids and alternative generation in a slow

146
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: metered approach you want? My translation is for that book.

147
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: They decided it was too expensive to fully back up

148
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: the systems that passengers actually depend on to catch their flights,

149
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: and then spend seven years writing requests for information RFIs

150
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: to study feasibility reports. Now, let me explain what that

151
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: is in bureau What that bureaucratic language means. They're not

152
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: doing a feasibility report, They're requesting information from all their

153
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: buddies so that they can hire the consultants so they

154
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: can then gather the information to do a feasibility report,

155
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: which will be what you want to say, Yes, it's

156
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. I bet it's twenty thirty, and I'm

157
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: trying to be generous twenty thirty just to get a

158
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: feasibility report having gotten to the train. Because I keep

159
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: asking this question, why did we not build? I want

160
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: you to think about the incremental cost. So you already

161
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 3: have certain embedded costs in the design of the airport.

162
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: You decide that you're going to build a train system

163
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: that will be reliable ninety percent of the time to

164
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: go from the terminal to concourse A, B, and C,

165
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: so you're going to have to design that, You're gonna

166
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: have to engineer it, and then you're gonna have to

167
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: construct it. So so you have all those embedded costs,

168
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: so there's a nominal increase in costs. So simply say, hey,

169
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: at the same time, why don't we design, engineer, and construct.

170
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: You know, I don't even give a rats ask if

171
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: you put a moving walkway, but you know, maybe some

172
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: of the lart asses that I see on the train

173
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: that you know take up the space of five human beings.

174
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: Maybe instead you ought to walk from the terminal to

175
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: concourse A B or C might be the most steps

176
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: you ever got in in your entire life.

177
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: You'll be able to fit into an airline seat exactly.

178
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: You won't need the extender belt? Did you ever? Can?

179
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 3: I just I know this is do you have to

180
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: use use an extender belt?

181
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: I didn't do a lot of airline traveling at that time,

182
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: but no, I had never used an extender congratulations seat.

183
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for you.

184
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: And now you don't have to I don't have.

185
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: To do that. Now I've got room. I besides the arms.

186
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: It's really weird.

187
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: Is somebody complain about these little seats? For these seats

188
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: were huge. We're proud of your dragon. We're proud of oh,

189
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: thank you. So you have incremental costs to actually build

190
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: walkways from the terminal out to the concourses. But guess what.

191
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: The article confirms my suspicion this is not a coincidence.

192
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: Then for International Airport is no stranger to train problems

193
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: last June scheduled maintenance. Scheduled maintenance cause major passenger backups

194
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: and train delays. The air has been considering alternatives to

195
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: trains four years, including building pedestrian bridges from concourse A

196
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: to B and from B to C so that you

197
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: can walk to your gate when the trains fail. They've

198
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: been considering pedestrian bridges four years, considering DA opened in

199
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five. The entire design of the airport, one terminal,

200
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: three remote concourses connected only by an underground train is

201
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: an inherently fragile architecture. Every single point of failure on

202
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: that train system is what we call a cascading event.

203
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: The power goes out, no trains, trains have maintenance issues,

204
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: no access to concourse B and C. It's the same

205
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 3: single point of failure logic that is baked into the

206
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: very bones of the original design of that airport, and

207
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: the airport since it opened in nineteen ninety five has

208
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: never fundamentally addressed it. So, to be fair, what has

209
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: been done? Denver has an eleven point five mega all

210
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: you keep talking about solar farm. You think I haven't

211
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: done my homework. It's an eleven point five megawatt solar

212
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: photovoltaic system has five separate arrays. But guess what Denver

213
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: is not able to use all of the energy it

214
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: produces with the infrastructure that's currently in place. They have

215
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: solar panels out there, they literally cannot fully utilize because

216
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: the grid integration is not there. You can't make this

217
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: will crap up and then CEO Phil Washington's response to

218
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: the March eighteenth outrage this week a statement saying that

219
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: Denver continues to explore alternative energy solutions via a request

220
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: for information from their private sector to ensure greater redundancy

221
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: and meet growing energy needs. So, as I said, they

222
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: issued a request for information. They issued a request for

223
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: information after the second major outage in six weeks during

224
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: spring break, when eighty thousand passengers passengers that they were

225
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: moving through that airport and the nuclear reactor idea well,

226
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: Phil Washington announced plans to study the feasibility of a

227
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: small modular reactor at the airport. Now, those plans were

228
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: eventually watered down. Yes, so, Kathleen, those plans got watered down.

229
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: While DA has they've not completely shut down the door

230
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: on nuclear. The airport plans to gather ideas for a

231
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: broader range of clean energy solutions. So the ambitionous plan

232
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: got scaled back to a broader information gathering exercise. You

233
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: know what that is. That's bureaucratic regression in motion. Yes,

234
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: we scaled it back so we can do you scale

235
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: back to get a broader information gathering exercise. That's how

236
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: bureaucrats think. Let's scale that back so we can get

237
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: more information. Yeah, you explain that one to this old boy.

238
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: Do that. Let me just close it by saying this

239
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: Denver International semi County of Denver. You and I. We've

240
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 3: known about this vulnerability since at least twenty nineteen. We

241
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: know about the train since nineteen ninety five, since before then,

242
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: and DIA has documented the problem themselves in public in

243
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: a trade magazine. They explicitly chose not to follow what

244
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: other airports did after Atlanta, which was simply to spend

245
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: the money and fix the problem. They called their approach

246
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: slow and metered. And then the airport went dark twice

247
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: in six weeks because of Excel substation issues, which is

248
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: the exact vulnerability that they identified seven years ago, and

249
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: the response from airport leaderships has been a press release

250
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: with the word explore in it. Meanwhile, all the airport

251
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: expansion projects could triple literally triple the airport's peak power

252
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: demand by twenty forty. They are adding more load to

253
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: a grid dependency that they have acknowledged is inadequate, and

254
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: they've not fixed it. This isn't bad luck. This is

255
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: a policy choice prioritizing cost minimization and innovative long term

256
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: solutions over spending the money right now to protect the

257
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: traveling public. And I would offer not just to protect

258
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: the traveling public, but to protect something that is part

259
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: of the critical infrastructure of this entire nation. It's part

260
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: of our national security. And you, the traveling public, you're

261
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: paying for it. You pay for it and measured in

262
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: miss flights, misconnections, misspring breaks every time Xcel has a

263
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: bad morning and a substation ten miles away, and the response,

264
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna We're gonna step back and just

265
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: more information about this because we're not really quite sure

266
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: what to do. I started out with a very basic question,

267
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: why is this country not able to build anything? I

268
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: can point out as I just did everything over an

269
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: hour and a half, I pointed out the entire incompetency

270
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: of Denver International Airport, the entire we That airport has

271
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: been under construction since the day I landed there when

272
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: it opened in nineteen ninety five, and they haven't fixed

273
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: the one core issue. And since nineteen ninety five, well

274
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 3: for my entire lifetime, as far as I can remember,

275
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: Denver's been controlled by Democrats. And now we're gonna look

276
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: at clean energy solutions. Hmmm wow. In other words, we're

277
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: not gonna do squat.

278
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: Put an automated baggage system out there. Cool brownie, you're

279
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: doing a heck of a job. Now.

280
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: I put a piece of luggage on the magical carousel

281
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: early in the airport's history, and.

282
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: I never saw it again, so maybe you could find

283
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: it for me.

284
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: Thank you. I guess I could have extended the whole

285
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 3: airport discussion into a full two hours by because I

286
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 3: didn't go into the whole baggage fiasco.

287
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: That was hilarious.

288
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: Remember that, Oh man, you just remember that. That got

289
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: worldwide coverage bags being eaten, alive, bags disappearing, and they

290
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 3: go under the under there and show all of those

291
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: conveyor belts moving around and how bags would just be flying.

292
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: Oh god, it was so freaking hilarious.

293
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: It's just sitting in a field somewhere.

294
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: That's right, your bag has been pooped on by some

295
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: cow out there. In the field. It's just now degraded

296
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: in this well, or maybe some homeless person has taken it,

297
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: you know, before we get into taxpayer relief shots at

298
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: the top of the next hour.

299
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: Which could exclusively be heard here on care.

300
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. I want to talk for just a

301
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: moment about something it seems, maybe seems a little esultery.

302
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: We keep hearing about how some of these lone wolves

303
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: become radicalized because of what they read on the internet,

304
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: or somehow people become insane based on what they read

305
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: on the Internet. I don't know what prompted this, but

306
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: there was something that was posted on x that yes,

307
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: I went down the rabbit hole because it had something

308
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: to do with the Iranian War, and I thought, well,

309
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: if this this video was real, if it's legit, it

310
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: shows that some defections are beginning to take place, and

311
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: what I've everything I've talked about is probably gonna come true.

312
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: But I dug, and I dug and I dug, and

313
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: it turned out that it's old video that has been

314
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: enhanced with artificial intelligence, and even the flags have been changed,

315
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: so it was of an original uprising, but from several

316
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: years ago, and rather than having the current Iranian flag.

317
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: They had the original Iranian flag up from the Shaw's time,

318
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: and they had made it look I mean, it was

319
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: greeny enough, it looked old enough, like it might be

320
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 3: something it's ten or fifteen years old. But putting it

321
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: through my own AI platforms, I was able to determine that, no,

322
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: this is not real at all. Now they called me

323
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: to thinking about how skeptical I am about everything that

324
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: I now see. Whether I don't care. It could be

325
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 3: somebody mentioned to me Axios this morning as I was

326
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: here something they read on Axios. Or I might see

327
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: something about something Trump said or done. It could be

328
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 3: something local. I find myself questioning everything now, So how

329
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 3: do you keep your brain together as we navigate through

330
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: this information war that is really going on? Now? It's true,

331
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it today because I don't

332
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: have time, but I've put together an article about the

333
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: China Files, and it's about how the deep state varied

334
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: evidence of Beijing's war on our elections. I spent as

335
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: much time putting that together as I did the story

336
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: about Denver International Airport, and it was really because and

337
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 3: that story is not you can I'll probably do it

338
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: tomorrow if you want to turn in tomorrow from ten

339
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: to one on Freedom seven sixty eight AM, ninety four

340
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: to one or ninety three seven FM for the weekend

341
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: with Michael Brown. But it's not necessarily about election fraud.

342
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: It's about foreign interference in our elections. So how do

343
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 3: you navigate through all this stuff and not allow yourself

344
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: to become susceptible to it? So I brote it down

345
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: three ways. One, know what you believe, and then defend it.

346
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: I've learned the ins and outs of politics throughout my life,

347
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: and so when I talk about or say here's what's

348
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 3: really going on inside the beltwigh, or here's what's really

349
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: going on procedurally with the US Senate, or here's what

350
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: the bureaucracy is really doing that is preventing Trump from

351
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 3: doing X, Y and z. I've learned the ins and

352
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 3: outs of our political system. That's why when you challenge me, Oh,

353
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: you're free to challenge me, and you can't anytime you

354
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: want to. But I would say that I'm going to

355
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: be right most of the time. And I'm not saying

356
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: that to brag. I'm just saying that I've had experiences

357
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: that you know, fortunately for you. You've not had the

358
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 3: experiences that I've had. It's one of the mainstream media.

359
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: Has.

360
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 3: For example, after all of Katrina, after all of that stuff,

361
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 3: those who vilified me came back afterwards and said, oh,

362
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: you know what, Bill Maher for example, I think Bill

363
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: Maher is the best example. Just rip me apart and

364
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: then have to negotiate to go back onto this program

365
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 3: through my lawyer, because I'm like, after you use that,

366
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: why would I trust you? Keith Oberman, same thing, Brian

367
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: Williams NBC News. Every single reappearance. My lawyer had to

368
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: negotiate that appearance because I'd learned my lesson. The mainstream

369
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: media of the cabal cannot be trusted. It is so

370
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: littered with facts and examples, like in my own personal case,

371
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 3: that damages the points they've tried to make against me.

372
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: You've got to know what you believe, and you have

373
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: to defend it. If you know a thing or two

374
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: about failed counterinsurgencies, or about the way the bureaucracy works,

375
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 3: or how politics really works inside the Beltway or down

376
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 3: the state capitol, like I do, then don't be afraid

377
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: to talk about why they fail. Don't be afraid to

378
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 3: persuade people of your opinions because I'm telling you that

379
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: die has been cast. And for example, like right now,

380
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: we are gutting Iran's military capabilities, and I believe, as

381
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: I said yesterday's being done to cripple China's ambitions for

382
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: the duration of this century. But too many people neglect

383
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: the impact of real politic and they lean on absolutes.

384
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: And that kind of leads me to my next point,

385
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 3: which I'll tell you after the break, which is to

386
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: tease it recognize when your biases are winning.

387
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Michael, you've been going on on DIA

388
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 2: for like two hours now. I'm almost hoping I end

389
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: up one of the relief shots.

390
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: Truth hurts, doesn't it. Not the fact that I went

391
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: on for an hour and a half, but the fact

392
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: that DIA sucks, and the people that run it suck,

393
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: and the people that oversee it, the mayor and the

394
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: city council, they suck. They all suck. How do you

395
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: avoid all of the misinformation and all the attacks for

396
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: believing what you might believe? One is that you need

397
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: to know what you believe and learn how to defend it.

398
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 3: The second thing I would argue is you need to

399
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: recognize when your biases are winning. There's probably nothing more

400
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: polarizing right now than the subject of US Israeli relations.

401
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: On the right side of the political spectrum, I find

402
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: this fife fascinating. People are getting lambasted by both sides

403
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: in this fracas. Now, if you express some degree of

404
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: support for operations in Iran, well here's an apec mean

405
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: in the comments attacking you. If you expect if you

406
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 3: express some skepticism for all governments worldwide and point out

407
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: that all countries inherently, for example, pursue their own self

408
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: interests and their own self interest ambitions with regard to

409
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: this country, including Israel, then you'll have israel first friends

410
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: telling you that you must be arranging some might. The

411
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: truth of worldwide geopolitics and domestic politics I think, for

412
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 3: that matter, is that nothing is really clear, nothing is

413
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: for certain, and nothing lasts forever. Real politics is a muddy,

414
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: ugly thing. If you don't believe that statement, then ask

415
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: yourself why this country was aligned with the Soviet Union

416
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: during World War Two. This must mean that, out of

417
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 3: all the extreme positions available online, that the truth is

418
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: probably somewhere between those extremes and know you shouldn't be

419
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: chided for questioning Israel's ambitions, but we also shouldn't be

420
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 3: expected to be taken seriously if we believe all of

421
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: the world's problems are tied to them as the Jews,

422
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: and the same as true of these elections as badly

423
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 3: as I, for example, want to see voter rolls dumped

424
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: across all the country. I want to see male balloting shredded,

425
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: done away with. I want to see miss means melted

426
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 3: into prison bars. Any election reforms are going to take

427
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 3: route gradually and in keeping with the progression of the

428
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: typical Overton window movement. That's why to Save Act, a

429
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: perfectly reasonable piece of legislation with well over eighty percent

430
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 3: of the sport of American people, it's so difficult for

431
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: corrupt senators to oppose publicly. If it went too hard,

432
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 3: too fast, it would never have made it out of committee.

433
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: It's just mind boggling to me the preencils these senators

434
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: are twisting themselves into, including in our own party. Do

435
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: you think John Soon is doing what he's really doing

436
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,239
Speaker 3: because he wants to Save Act to pass? No, But

437
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: that's where you have to truly understand how they operate.

438
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: He knows it's going to fail. He's trying to placate you,

439
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: He's trying to make you go from I can't believe

440
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: John Thu is not even bringing this to the floor,

441
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: to him bringing it to the floor knowing it will

442
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: fail on a closure vote, and then him being able

443
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: to say, well I tried, and you going, well they tried.

444
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: Don't fall for that bull crap, And then I would

445
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: point out, remember you are. You are what you eat,

446
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: you are what you consume. I've known far too many

447
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: people since Trump took off us a second time who

448
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: have actually become radicalized by the Internet. They sided with

449
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: a few contrarian positions, and then they throw the entire

450
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: baby out with the bathwater. There exists just two ways

451
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: to fix this country violence, which I don't think any

452
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 3: patriot or person of sincere faith should seek to inflame

453
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: or provoke. And if you are for some reason, then

454
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: you've got to be ready to deal with should it

455
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: break out, because it very well could break out. So

456
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: you can either do it. You can to fix the

457
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: country through violence, or you can fix it through peaceful engagement,

458
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: also known as the political system. And that system, yes,

459
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: it is badly damaged and it is corrupted. But that's

460
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: the system you're going to work in. And when you

461
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: embrace positions so extreme, they completely reject the concept of

462
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: citizen engagement. That's just not productive. It only least animosity, strive,

463
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: and inabilities to actually shift the over to the window.

464
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: Consistent pressure over election corruption has driven the percentage of

465
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: Americans who believe the twenty twenty election was rigged at

466
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: the time of the election from forty percent to more

467
