Oh 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 4: you've told me that that's try. He figures it's a 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 4: waste of time because the water drips down anyway. Oh my, 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 4: and the iHeart Festival was like last month, and we're 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 4: already doing the cash contest at the top of the hour, 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 4: so those are already going on, so we really can't 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 4: announce those at nine thirty. Well, the Ross leg thing, 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 4: maybe maybe maybe. 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: The announcement is he's decided to start washing his legs, 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: you know, or maybe one of them fell off because 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: it rotted so badly from you know, the all of 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: the germs and everything he got, you know, he got 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 3: gangreen and it finally just fell off, and he's hobbling. 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 3: He'll be hobbling in this morning. You know, you never know, 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: but you we we do have a significant announcement to 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: make it nine thirty this morning, so we had appreciate 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: nine thirty mountain time.

I want to I want to talk about assimilation. 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: But before I do, I want to I want to 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: do a local story because this this was you know, 28 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: every every every evening I do these Michael Brown. I 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: come up with these Michael Brown minutes to promote the 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: naturally syndicated weekend program over on Freedom. And they, because 31 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: I'm the only local voice over on Freedom, they said, hey, 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: we you know, for your promos, let's do little Mike 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: these short, one minute, pithy commentary about a local story 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: I came across. And usually I go to where I 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: know I'll probably likely find stories that will piss me off. 36 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: So that's the kind of life I have. You go 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: looking for things to piss you off. Wow, that's what 38 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: radio does to you. 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: It's like what I do at nine thirty. 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 3: Nine thirty is nine thirty one probably will piss you 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: off in some ways when I think about it, because 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 3: well this I'll explain it nine thirty. Why I think 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna be pissed off at nine thirty. At nine thirty, 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: this is this. This local story is also an example 45 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: of two things. One, how government programs invariably it is 46 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: a I think it's the law of physics. It is 47 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: a natural law. It is a it's God's cruelty to 48 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: us of forcing us that if you adopt this program, 49 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna see that it grows, and it's it's going 50 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: to grow way beyond your imagination, and you're going to 51 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: come to resent it and reject it, and then you're 52 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: stuck with it. So be careful what you wish for, 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: and be careful what you you know you enact as laws. 54 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 3: And it also MorphOS morphs, It morphs from what the 55 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: original intent was to something much worse than what it was. 56 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: And I'm talking about the flocked cameras, the cameras that 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: are supposed to be these automatic readers of license plates. 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: The story goes like this, a Columbine Valley, which is 59 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: a tiny, little, you know, burg over here, a Columbine 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: Valley cop shows up at this woman's house in Denver. 61 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: He's ready to issue her a summons for being a 62 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: porch pirate. I'm calling the I'm calling the cop, I'm 63 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: gonna leave. You can find the story yourself and read 64 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: the woman's name. I'm just not going to publish your name, 65 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 3: although she has it in the news story. I'm just 66 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 3: not going to spread it any further. 67 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: I am, And at nine thirty, I'll posted to Michael 68 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 4: says goo here dot com. 69 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 3: At nine that will be the big announcement. At nine 70 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: point thirty, it will be this woman's name. At nine thirty, 71 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: the CoP's name is Jamie Millman. He knocks on the 72 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: door with the summons in hand in hand and accuses 73 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 3: this woman of stealing a package from the doorstep in 74 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: the neighboring town of Beaumar, which from her house is 75 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 3: fifty feet away. That's where the dividing line is fifty 76 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: feet away. Now the proof according to this cop. I mean, 77 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: this is just lousy, horrible police work. And it also 78 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: shows how the intended purpose of these cameras has now 79 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 3: expanded to surveillance. Now you might say that just looking 80 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: for license plates and sold in vehicles is surveillance, but 81 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 3: that's that's one type of surveillance. Then I'm actually okay, 82 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: you know, because my license plate is on the back 83 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: of my car on one car it's on the front too, 84 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: but on another car it's not. And I know, I 85 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: don't care if if you want to put a camera 86 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 3: up that simply scans a license plate because you're looking 87 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 3: for license plate ABC dash two nine six five two 88 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 3: sixty five to make it fit color out of whatever. 89 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: If you're looking for that license plate and the camera 90 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 3: catches that license plate so you know generally where that 91 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: car is and the cops can go get it, then okay, fine, 92 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: I don't really have much of a problem with that. 93 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: And I know you could technically call that surveillance. But 94 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 3: when you use the cameras to try to catch a 95 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 3: porch pilot, a porch pilot, a porch pirate, now you're 96 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: doing wider surveillance. This guy, this cop Jamie Millman, shows 97 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 3: up at the door and says, I have proof that 98 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: you were a porch pirate and that you were in 99 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: Bomar and you stole this package off this woman's house. 100 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: Here's the summons. Now, nobody wants to be accused of 101 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: a crime for which they're not guilty. Well, nobody wants 102 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: to be accused of a crime anyway. Even the guilty 103 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: people don't want to be accused of a crime. But imagine, 104 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: let's use myself for an example. If I'm accused of 105 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: a crime and I think based on my contract. It 106 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: might depend on the nature of the crime, but if 107 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: it can be interpreted as causing an embarrassment to the company, 108 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: they might I might litigate it, but they might have 109 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: a right to terminate the contract. 110 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: An embarrassment to the company at nine thirty, that that is. 111 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: Going to be an embarrassment of the company. At nine thirty, 112 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: That absolutely is an embarrassment they this woman. All I 113 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: will say is she was a financial advisor, so she's 114 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: you know, I'm assuming she's subject to sec regulations. She's 115 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: subject to, you know, all sorts of regulations to be 116 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: in compliance to conduct her job as a financial advisor. 117 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: And here she is being accused of stealing something. Well, 118 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: if you're in the financial industry, you know, you work 119 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: for a bank, or you work for a brokerage firm, 120 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: or you work for a financial advisor, you work for 121 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: you know, the retirement planning center of the Rockies, whatever 122 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: it might be. Do you work for that and you're 123 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: accused of theft? Yeah, that's that's probably. That's that's a 124 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: that's a problem. So the guy says to this woman, 125 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 3: the cop says, you know, we have cameras in that town. 126 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: You can't get a breath of fresh air in or 127 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: out of that place without us knowing. Well, you're some 128 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: sort of what a what a kind of arrogant a 129 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: whole thing to say, we know, do you know we've 130 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: got cameras in that town. You can't get a breath 131 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: of fresh air in or out of that place without 132 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: us knowing. Wow, but kind of on a power trip there, 133 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: aren't you, Officer Jamine Millman. He then went on to say, 134 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: just as an example, he's telling this to the woman 135 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: on her porch, on her front in her front door, which, 136 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 3: by the way, her ring camera is recording everything that 137 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: this cop is saying, which I find freaking hilarious. He says, 138 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: just as an example, you've driven there about twenty times 139 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: in the last month. Then he tells this woman that 140 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: they also have the video from the theft victim that 141 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: shows apparently her ringing the doorbell before grabbing the package 142 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: and running away. And then he says, I mean, I 143 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: don't know why you don't just deliver the summons, but 144 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: he has to like rip her a new one. He says, 145 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: I guess this is a shock to you, but I'm 146 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: telling you this is a lock, one hundred percent, no doubt. Now, 147 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: how do I know that? She that the cop said 148 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: that it's on her ring camera and it's reported in 149 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: in the Colorado Sun too. She told the sergeant she 150 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: had no idea what he was talking about. She asked 151 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: several times to watch the video that the cop insisted 152 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 3: proved her guilt. He refused to show her the evidence, 153 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: and then when offered up footage, she drives a rhythm, 154 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: which is, you know these electric SUVs they have onboard cameras, 155 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: like my beamer has that record stuff. She offered to hey, 156 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: do you want to look at mine because it shows 157 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: that that never happened. His response was, it doesn't matter. 158 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: I'll be giving this all to you. If you're going 159 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 3: to deny it to me, I'm not going to help 160 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: you with any courtesy. What kind of threat is that? 161 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: Are you saying that if you'll just shut up and 162 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 3: take the ticket, I'll go to the court and say, hey, 163 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: you are really cooperative, and so I want to give 164 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: you a deferred sentence or something that's not your place 165 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: deliver the summons, shut up and go home, story, says Bomar, 166 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 3: a small suburb northwest of Little Too. It's one of 167 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: several Colorado towns that have contracts with Flock, a company 168 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 3: that operates artificial intelligence powered license plate readers to track 169 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: vehicles as they pass through town. Columbine Valley cops oversee 170 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 3: both sounds of Columbine Valley and Boulamar. Police have titled 171 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: the cameras affected those in catching criminals and have called 172 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 3: the technology that allows the law enforcement to see where 173 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: and when a vehicle was at a certain point in 174 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: time quote a game changer for investigations. This company has 175 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: more than eight thousand cameras across the country. It's turning 176 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: into mass surveillance. 177 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: This field. 178 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 4: It's just as bad as when it was a few 179 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 4: years ago where nine thirty they used like an air 180 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: tag and it just guesstimated where somebody was. So then 181 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 4: they went into their home and broke down doors and 182 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 4: everything and saying you're the criminal, and there wasn't anywhere 183 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 4: near that, right, Yeah, it is almost exactly like that 184 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 4: nine thirty. 185 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: Yes, in fact, it's an embarrassing story about something I 186 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: did yesterday, which I may or may not tell you 187 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: in a minute about location services on your phone and 188 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 3: an app telling you, like, say, where the nearest McDonald's is. Yeah, 189 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 3: so you you you know, so you ordered that McDonald's 190 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: and then you realize, oh, no, that McDonald's is actually 191 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: forty five miles away versus the one that's two blocks 192 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 3: from where you were getting ready to where you normally 193 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: place your order. 194 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: Oh are we getting McDonald's at nine thirty? 195 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 3: Could be they've told me I can now start drinking 196 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: bourbon in my McDonald's. That's true. Yeah, let's see. So 197 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: standing on her doorstep, the cop describe what this woman 198 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: was wearing that day, certain that she was the one 199 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: that stole the package that was valued at twenty five 200 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: dollars or less. He goes, I'm sorry, but it's true. 201 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: I don't make these things up handed or the summons 202 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: with a December court date. Now, of course she's all 203 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: upset about this because she knows she did not do it. 204 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 3: She drives through that town and so the camera's caught 205 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 3: her driving through the town. But that's it. So now 206 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: she starts doing all this work. Of course, she's upset. 207 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 3: She can't sleep, so she and her husband compiled a 208 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: master file snapshots from her Google timeline. She apparently has 209 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: that on her phone that contract every stop that she makes. 210 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: She got stables from the people that she interacted with 211 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: on the day that she's alleged to then the porch pirate, 212 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: she took a picture of the outfit that she was 213 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: wearing them that day, which was complete opposite of what 214 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: the porch pirate was wearing, and a note of when 215 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 3: she took off her sweater because it started to get 216 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 3: warm outside. Now, she had in fact driven to Bomar 217 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: that day, but was there to visit her tailor, which 218 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: was more than a quarter mile from where the package 219 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: was stolen. She had the appointment at noon, so she 220 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: even went to the tailor and got surveillance images from 221 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 3: the tailor of her entering and leaving the building. Then 222 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 3: she went front to her car and she included the 223 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 3: dashboard videos that her rithon had automatically recorded. The video 224 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 3: shows her making two trips through Bomar and never stopping. 225 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: Then she got the GPS records from the truck which 226 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: showed the exactly the same thing. Then she watched the 227 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 3: the she finally, you know, she obviously based on the summons. 228 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: She knew who the victim was, so she asked to 229 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: look at the victim's doorbell camera, which, by the way, 230 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: the victim posted on next door showing the package thief. 231 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: Now you think at this point a cop worth their 232 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: salt would have looked at everything and said, this doesn't 233 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: seem to match up at all. You can see the 234 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: person running away, but they don't get into a truck, 235 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: they don't get into a rivian. So she called the 236 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: police chief every day for a week and several other 237 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: city administrators trying to present her evidence, trying to you know, 238 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: trying to stop this before it gets to the courthouse. 239 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: She wasn't getting anywhere. Then Ober fifteen, last week, sometime 240 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: more than two weeks after the cops showed up at 241 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: her door, she got an email from the chief, Brett cottrel, 242 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: congratulating her on her detective work. Huh you mean, well, 243 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: when you congratulated her on her detective work, did you likewise, 244 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: uh give some sort of demerit to the cop for 245 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: not doing his detective work. And the cops decided to 246 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: drop the charges after reviewing the evidence. You have provided parentheses. 247 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 3: Nicely done. By the way, we have avoided we avoided 248 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: the summons we issued, But that doesn't That doesn't solve 249 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: the problem. That raises a whole issue about how is 250 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: the Columbine Valley cops using flock cameras and a what 251 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: cost to privacy? Here's the real issue I have as 252 00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 3: a lawyer. She had to prove her innocence and she 253 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: and she needed to do so in order to avoid 254 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: going to court. Because going to court in and of 255 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: itself raises issues. How many of you think that when 256 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: somebody's charged with something, you automatically think, well, they must 257 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: be guilty, otherwise they wouldn't have been charged. Many people 258 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: do that. Now, she would have had gone to her employer, 259 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: a financial firm. Hey, I've been accused of theft, but 260 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: I didn't do it. Oh really, huh? Now, I would 261 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: like to think that the employer would have been decent 262 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: enough to say, well, you know, show us, you know, 263 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: show us everything that you've you know you're going to use, 264 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: and the employer would have joined with her in opposing 265 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: these criminal charges. But here we have Bomar and Columbine 266 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: Valley taking these flock cameras and falsely accusing someone of theft. 267 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: Being a porch pirate. You see when you when you 268 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: start living and you say, okay, well we're just going 269 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 3: to use these cameras to look for license plates, and 270 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 3: then you expand it out and now you're doing surveillance everywhere. 271 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 3: And the behavior of this cop based on the story 272 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: and the film and the footage, Wow, people are still innocent. 273 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: Toll proven guilty. Don't forget that at nine thirty. 274 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: Com boarding Mike, this surveillance camera and craft. 275 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: It's going to be just like. 276 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: Reporters using x or Twitter to do the reporting, making 277 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: lazy cops even lazier. Wait a minute, that talkback didn't 278 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: mention nine thirty. 279 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 3: Well delete it? Then just delete it. 280 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: I regret playing that one now topical, but didn't mention 281 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 4: nine thirty it well or earballs? 282 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: Ear bawls are nine thirty. Yes, we're going to announce 283 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 3: earballs at nine thirty. I have portraits of them made. 284 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 3: We're gonna share those. I want to talk about assimilation. 285 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: This country has a culture and we have a creed. 286 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: The culture is Anglo Protestant. When you think about morality, now, 287 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that you know the morality of the 288 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: Anglo Protestant tradition. Christian values are really universal. I believe 289 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: they're universal. It doesn't mean that you have to be 290 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: a Christian in order to follow, you know, the Ten Commandments. 291 00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: The Ten Commandments are is about are about morals. We 292 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: are an English speaking country and our political philosophy is 293 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: based upon individual freedom, individual liberty. That's our culture, and 294 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: that is the culture that when people talk about, oh, 295 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 3: we're a country that welcome you know, we're a country 296 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 3: built on immigrants. Well, pretty much every country is built 297 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: on immigrants. But the people that came here, you know, 298 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: let's say after eighteen hundred, let's take the patriots and 299 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: the founding fathers and let's just separate them out for 300 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: a moment. Only because we talk. I hear a lot 301 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 3: about well, we're a nation of immigrants and we need 302 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 3: immigrants and immigrants or what made this country all right? Well, 303 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 3: if you want to make that argument, I would throw 304 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 3: right back at you. Why did they come to this country, 305 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 3: into this country because our morality was based on Protestantism, 306 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 3: Anglo Protestant in moral tone. They knew we spoke English. 307 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 3: Even if they did not, they knew, and they came 308 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 3: here and knew that if they wanted to succeed. They 309 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: knew that they needed to learn to speak English, and 310 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 3: they came here because of our political philosophy, because we 311 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: believed in individual liberty and individual freedom. That's the culture. 312 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: That is what they came the millions who came here, 313 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 3: they came here and they became Americans, not by birth, 314 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: they became Americans by belief. And then there was this 315 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: moral confidence that built our institutions that grew out of 316 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 3: that inheritance, the conviction that there is an ordered freedom 317 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 3: under God, and that the ignity of the individual is 318 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: worth defending. And we defend the worth of the individual 319 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 3: both in law and in practice, in law and inhabit 320 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 3: So the point is not blood. The point is is creed, 321 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: and a creed needs a culture in order to sustain itself. 322 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 3: Then you apply that to the constitution, a constitution that 323 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 3: does not have a people that believe in it and 324 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: are formed to live by it, then it becomes a 325 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 3: worthless piece of paper. Everything that I just said, those 326 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: on the left say I'm being racist, islamophobic, transphobic, exclusionary, 327 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 3: that I am a white nationalist, whatever I mean, whatever 328 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: majorities they want to use, that's what they'll use. Because 329 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 3: I hear Anglo Protestant, and they think it names a 330 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: race rather than a more or institutional traditions that others 331 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: can join in. They want multiculturalism join in at nine 332 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: thirty and that multiculturalism really means many official identities and 333 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: few shared obligations. You take a country and divide it 334 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: into a thousand bazillion identities, that civilization cannot stand and liberty. 335 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 3: Liberty is not maintained by slogans. Liberty is maintained by actions, 336 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: by the rule of law. It depends on the preservation 337 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 3: of the culture. They conceived the idea of liberty, so 338 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 3: our strength was always that we assimilated under those ideas. 339 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 3: Diversity as an end in itself is not what made 340 00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 3: this country diversity. What they're doing with diversity today is 341 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 3: making it a permanent separation. Well, that dissolves trust. That 342 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: is racist in my opinion. Diversity as a permanent separation. 343 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 3: How many times do we hear about that? You know, 344 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: young adults think they want segregated housing, they want segregated classrooms. 345 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 3: They have segregated this and that. Well, that dissolves trust 346 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: between the races. We fought a war to get rid 347 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: of that. The first principles, the first principles of this 348 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 3: country give us a language of freedom. The habits were simple, 349 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 3: but they were demanding. As I've said before, living in 350 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 3: freedom is chaotic, but you need to speak a common 351 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 3: language so that the law can be public. Look at 352 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: the two examples. I can think of the truckers that 353 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: can't speak English, the truckers that can't even understand what 354 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 3: a sign means. Did you hear the conversation between the 355 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 3: highway patrolman and the one trucker who was he was 356 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 3: asking or it wasn't the trucker. I think it was 357 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 3: the guy that was hauling the illegal aliens in the 358 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: back of a van or something. Pointing to a stop sign? 359 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 3: Do you know what that means? You know? Pointing to 360 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: other do you know showing him sign? Do you know 361 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: what these means? 362 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: He couldn't. 363 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: He couldn't explain what any of the signs meant. Well, 364 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: if you're driving, if you're driving down I seventy and 365 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 3: you see runaway truck ramp, you have no idea what 366 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 3: it means. You're not gonna you're you're gonna burn out 367 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: your brakes and cause a crash like we've seen the 368 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: other way I noticed it was in my little hometown. 369 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 3: So I go into city hall, where you know, they 370 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 3: provide the water sewer trash service. So I'm getting all 371 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 3: that changed, and I'm waiting in line behind three or 372 00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 3: four non English speaking people. Who they are. They've got 373 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 3: one person who speaks their native tongue and another person 374 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: who's trying to help them, and trying to help the 375 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 3: native speaking person explain to these people standing in the 376 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 3: line they must have had some problem with their utility bill, 377 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: or they were trying to hook up surfer. They were 378 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 3: trying to do something, but it was taking an inordin 379 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: amount of time to do so. And yeah, I was 380 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 3: frustrated because I'm gonna hurry. I've got things to do, 381 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: and I got to get on the road eventually and 382 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 3: get back to Colorado anyway. And so it's really kind 383 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 3: of pissing me off because it's clear to me that 384 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 3: they're making no attempt whatsoever to even try to speak 385 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: any English. And so here is I'm in a taxpayer 386 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: funded facility, city hall, and they've obviously probably had to 387 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 3: hire someone in order to converse with people who are 388 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 3: making no attempt to speak English whatsoever. And then I 389 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 3: wonder are they going to get in the car? And 390 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 3: do they do they have a driver's license? Where they 391 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: get a driver's license? Did he get from the state 392 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: of California? Did New York give it? Two of them? 393 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 3: And you know, I didn't see any eighteen wheelers parked outside. 394 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 3: But I wonder is that what they do for a 395 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 3: living or what? I don't know. But a common language 396 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 3: is necessary in order to communicate effectively. I know from 397 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: personal experience traveling around the world, even with interpreters on 398 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 3: official business, that things get lost in translation. Oh Shomega 399 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 3: movie sometimes lost in translation. 400 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: There is. 401 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 3: Something to be said for a common language, and that 402 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 3: is not being racist. That is a part of assimilation. 403 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 3: I can move to France, I can move to Germany. 404 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: I can move to Uganda and never learn to speak 405 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: the language. I would never fully assimilate. Never. We uphold 406 00:26:54,160 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 3: limited government through the rule of law. Our representative instituteis 407 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: so that power is answerable to reasonable and reason debate. 408 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 3: You can't always fully participate in the debate if it's 409 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: not through a common language. Now, none of what I've 410 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: just said bars newcomers. Everything I've just described tells me 411 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 3: that people live in craphole countries would want to come here. 412 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: The guys I'm standing behind line at at City Hall, 413 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure wanted to come here for jobs or whatever else. 414 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 3: But my question to them is do you want to assimilate? 415 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: Do you really want to become an American citizen? Do 416 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: you want to participate in this great experiment that we've 417 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: got going on here? So yes, we invite them by 418 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 3: our very culture. And so many followed that culture. The Irish, 419 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 3: the Italian, Jews, Poles, Asians all arrived as strangers. But 420 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: then they became our neighbors by mastering English, sending their 421 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 3: kids through schools that Tata's common civic story, or i 422 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 3: should say taught. 423 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 2: And listening to nine thirty, and then by entering. 424 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: The professions, the armed forces, the middle class. The best 425 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 3: evidence is visible in the second generation that reliably outran 426 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 3: the first in both income, education civic participation. The pattern 427 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 3: is just too regular to be an accident. It is 428 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 3: the predictable yield of a demanding but generous culture of assimilation. 429 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 3: Go back to English for a second, Well, after the break, 430 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 3: we'll go back to English, because I say that English 431 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 3: is not a mark of a tribe. It is a 432 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 3: tool that makes a single public square so that we 433 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 3: can all participate in this grand experiment just about forty 434 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: five minutes till nine thirty. 435 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: By something happening in nine thirty. 436 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: I have no idea what they're talking about, no idea. 437 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: This is a pretty good text from sixteen forty one, Mike. 438 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: It would explit learning English if government and retail would 439 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 3: not add Spanish to everything from ballance to directional signs, 440 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: et cetera. Yes, but that's part of the adoption of multiculturalism, 441 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: which then hinders assimilation. And if you think multiculturalism is 442 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: a good thing, look at the United Kingdom, look at 443 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 3: Western Europe for that matter. Rather than if if they 444 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 3: wanted to bring all of those air quote here migrants 445 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 3: from the Third World craphold countries, then that's fine, but 446 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 3: you did not assimilate them. You put them on the 447 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 3: government teat and now they're they're overrunning your country. British 448 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 3: culture is being destroyed. French culture is being destroyed, you know, 449 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: for the French, who culture is pretty much everything they're allowed. 450 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: They're allowing it to be destroyed in a country where 451 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: you can't call something champagne unless it actually comes from Champagne, 452 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 3: then come on, what are you doing. This is why 453 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 3: assimilation is something that we don't talk enough about, that 454 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: we need to talk more about. And I think we 455 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 3: don't talk about it because everybody's afraid of being called 456 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: a racist or whatever kind of fobe you want to 457 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: call somebody. And as I said before, English is not 458 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: doesn't mean you're part of a tribe. It is what 459 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: makes a single public square workable. It binds courts and contracts. 460 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 3: You know, go back to what you just said about, 461 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 3: you know, retailers and signage and everything being in both 462 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 3: English and in Spanish. Well, you don't do that with courts, 463 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 3: you don't do that with contracts. You can get a 464 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: Spanish newspaper somewhere, I imagine, but a newspaper doesn't have 465 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 3: a English section and a Hispanics section, Spanish session section 466 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 3: and a Mandarin section, classrooms, congregations. That's what binds everything together. 467 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 3: So when an immigrant learns English quickly, their children learn 468 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 3: it almost at once, and then what do they do. 469 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: Then they've got access to the entire economy today, they 470 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: have access to the nation's conversation. They gain a share 471 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: in the country's memory. Without a common tongue, there can 472 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: be no shared history, no consistent way of resolving dispute. 473 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 3: The early Republic knew that, so schools taught in English 474 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: even when the community spoke in other languages at home. 475 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 3: I don't care what you speak at home. I want 476 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 3: you to speak English in the public square. And by 477 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 3: the public square, I mean out there. If I go 478 00:31:53,360 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 3: to UH, I go to J. C. Penny, I go 479 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: to Walgreens, I go somewhere. I want everybody to speak English. 480 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: If I go to city hall and I you know, 481 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: if I go to city hall, how long do you think? 482 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 3: Now the French might be accommodating. They might say, hey, 483 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 3: we got an English speaker here who knows wah. That's 484 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 3: about it, Croissant, anybody here speak English. It would be 485 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 3: incumbent upon me to bring someone to interpret on my behalf, 486 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 3: not for them to do it for me. Schools taught 487 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: in English. All the old McGuffey readers remember that that 488 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 3: allowed us to form a vocabulary and our virtues together. 489 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 3: So it wasn't to try to erase their culture. It 490 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: was the civic unity that we're trying to accomplish. American law, 491 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 3: the law that I learned in law school. It grew 492 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 3: from English common law and from Protestant ideas about human 493 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 3: think and responsibility. Jurors judge peers because each person carries 494 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 3: moral agency themselves. Rights are secured under a written constitution 495 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: because ruvers must answer to a higher law. Federalism local 496 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 3: self government because local communities are most significant.
