Many many times they just 120 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: weren't equipped or educated in this social skills or the 121 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: things that it takes to actually succeed, which obviously you 122 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: had a pass for you knew and how did you 123 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: come to be a part of this and what's your background? 124 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 5: Like? 125 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 4: Oh, thank you so much for asking, because you're exactly 126 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: right in today's society, especially here in Cincinnati and the 127 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: Greater Cincinnati area. Everything is about relationships. And we've heard 128 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 4: it for years. It's not about what you know, it's 129 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 4: who you know. And then for a while we said, no, 130 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 4: you have to know what you know. And I think 131 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 4: it's starting to trend back to the who you know. 132 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: And the reason this is so important to your point 133 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 4: is that when you meet someone new, and obviously I 134 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 4: don't meet a stranger, and when you meet someone new, 135 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: how do you make that lasting impression to build connections? 136 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: So two people walk into a bar, in this case, 137 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 4: one person walks into a bar, and now here we are. 138 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: It's so important that when we are talking with people, 139 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 4: we know how to one hold a conversation, how to listen, 140 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 4: and how to respond. And I have seen these things 141 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 4: make or break some people on job interviews. And I 142 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: came up from I'm the daughter of an immigrant mother, 143 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 4: proudly first gen American on her side. She came to 144 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 4: this country from Costa Rica when she was in her 145 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 4: college years, attended college here, married my father, who is 146 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 4: a Southern man, and so I was raised with no excuses, 147 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: you know, lend respect and shake people's hands. I'm a millennial. 148 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: When I used to call my friend's house, I would say, hi, 149 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: mister or missus so, and so, how's your day going. 150 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 4: That's excellent, it's Maddie home. And you have to learn 151 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 4: how to have these conversations, and those tools are missing 152 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 4: and absence from our society. 153 00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: Now. 154 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 4: Then you asked a little bit about my path I 155 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: actually started my career.

And my entire 166 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 4: career I've been in banking, but always in spaces where 167 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: I can use my voice and speak to others, and 168 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 4: I learned through that being able to connect with people 169 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 4: from all different backgrounds people. Most recently I was in 170 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 4: wealth management and that's where I came to Dress for 171 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 4: Success Cincinnati from and you realize that people acqui or 172 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: wealth from all different ways, and people lose wealth in 173 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 4: all different ways. And so again here at Dress for 174 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 4: Success Cincinnati, we want to help women find economic self sufficiency. 175 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 4: And one of the ways to do that is ensuring 176 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: you are confident and competent with who you are and 177 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: you're able to present that to others. So that's what 178 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: we're really doing here. 179 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 3: That's a wonderful, wonderful concept. 180 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: And I just I love the fact that you are 181 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: actually making significant positive changes in these women's lives.

Look eighty nine percent of the 197 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 4: women that we serve our women who are below the 198 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 4: poverty line. In addition to that, women we serve comes 199 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 4: from all different referral sources. They can, like I mentioned 200 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: at the top of the hour, women can come into 201 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: our center just from word of mouth or because they 202 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 4: know someone. But we also receive referrals from places like 203 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 4: her Cincinnati or River City Correctional And so we have 204 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:56,239 Speaker 4: women who are overcoming unimaginable circumstances from being sex trafficked, 205 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 4: to being abused, being in relationship ships that have not 206 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 4: been the best, or been in really terrible situations. Maybe 207 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 4: they're overcoming incarceration, and they come here not just because 208 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: we provide a place of hope and accountability and resources, 209 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: but also we help for store dignity. You mentioned not 210 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 4: even knowing how to look someone in the eye. Sometimes 211 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 4: the women we serve don't believe that they're worth looking 212 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: someone in the eye, or that they're valuable enough for. 213 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: Them to be seen. 214 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 4: And so reshifting that mindset to help women know that 215 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: they matter and they're worth in investing in. And we 216 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: know studies and statistics show that when women are successful, 217 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: communities are successful, children are successful, there's less crime rates. 218 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 4: And so we know crime, for example, in Cincinnati, has 219 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: been an explosion when we invest back into women. We 220 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: know that all of these things have a benefit just 221 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: by connection. So children are being educated better because moms 222 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 4: can stay home and help them and pick them up 223 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 4: after school, and they have safer environments, and they have 224 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 4: healthier meals which leads to better behavior outcomes and more 225 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 4: food security, which means that there's less crime in our streets. 226 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 4: And all of these things are related. 227 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: Have you got connections I'm certain you do with the 228 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: business community here and helping placement for these women after 229 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: they've gone through your programs. 230 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,359 Speaker 4: So that's another wonderful thing about the city of Cincinnati 231 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 4: and also Northern Kentucky. When I met you, I was 232 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 4: coming from an event with the Cincinnati Regional Chamber, and 233 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 4: that is one organization that offers plenty of events for 234 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: people to get connected and build their skill set and 235 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 4: business acumen. But it's also a great place to meet 236 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: other nonprofits and business owners, as is the Northern Kentucky Chamber. 237 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: There's business owners from the Northern Kentucky Chamber who have 238 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: donated their services to Dress for Success Cincinnati to help 239 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 4: women get headshots to ensure that they're being styled in 240 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: a way that matches their body type, and even what's 241 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 4: called color matching. So are the colors you where? Do 242 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: they actually reflect well on your skin tone and help 243 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: you to be welcomed well into a room. There's a 244 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: crazy science behind it. And even connecting again with places 245 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: like Bethany House, her Cincinnati shelter House. There's the Life 246 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 4: Learning Center we are over at. We have two satellite locations, 247 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: one in Loveland and one in Covington, and the care 248 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: Center is in Loveland and the Life Learning Center in Covington. 249 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: And these are opportunities for us again partner with other 250 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: organizations and utilize our resources to not compete in trying 251 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: to serve the same population with the same thing over 252 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: and over. But how can we really create a continuum 253 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 4: of care so when women leave us, they know the 254 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 4: next step and they know they're going to be handled 255 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 4: well there and vice versa. 256 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Well, Megan Thompson, A pleasure to meet you originally a 257 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: pleasure to talk to you tonight and let everybody know 258 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: if they want to find out more about Dress for 259 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: success Cincinnati.

We're dropping the iOS and android app here 314 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 7: in the next couple of weeks. And you know, the 315 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 7: whole idea is just how can we have the most 316 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 7: human centered social media platform on the on the planet. 317 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 5: And so everything we do is from. 318 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 7: The from the perspective of how do we help human 319 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 7: content creators. How do we help you know, writers, journalists, rumble, 320 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 7: live streamers, you know, you know, people with podcasts. 321 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 5: How do we help them all? 322 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 7: Because what's happening on these you know, mainstream social media 323 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 7: platforms is that they're they're leaning very heavily into artificial intelligence, 324 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 7: and they're leaning very heavily into algorithms and Elon must 325 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 7: just the other day just just announce that they're going 326 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 7: to now essentially make it to where you're following, so 327 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 7: the number of people that follow you has no bearing 328 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 7: on your ability to be seen. Now it's just all 329 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 7: going to be based on AI and the algorithm. So 330 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 7: now your your job, essentially, according to Elon, is to 331 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 7: write content that the algorithm likes, that the AI likes, 332 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 7: and then the AI will decide whether your content gets 333 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 7: seen as opposed to you being able to build your 334 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 7: own community, build your own audience and all that. So 335 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 7: with Pickaxe, what we're doing is we're just we're making 336 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 7: it to where you can build an actually your own audience, 337 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 7: and you can have direct access to your own audience. 338 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 7: We're not going to get in the way, we're not 339 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 7: going to get in the middle. And then we're just 340 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 7: developing a whole bunch of features that helped you amplify that. 341 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 7: And the way that I've set up our business model 342 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 7: is that we only whin we only we only generate 343 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 7: revenue as a platform when we help our human content 344 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 7: creators to actually thrive and succeed. So it's just a 345 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 7: completely different outlook on social media. It's kind of like 346 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 7: we're taking it back to the way that social media 347 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 7: was intended to be, which is social. 348 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 5: So that's what we're trying to do at pickax Fantastic. 349 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you this I've been told by 350 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: other people in the know, is that soon there will 351 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: be no human generated contact or I'm sorry, there'll be 352 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: no human generated content on the Internet at all, because 353 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: AI is now just regurgitating AI. And the problem with 354 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 2: AI not only the algorithms and writing to what it 355 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: likes according based on the algorithms, but AI has been 356 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: known to hallucinate and just entirely make things up. You 357 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: find that that's true. 358 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 5: No, it's definitely, it's definitely true. 359 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 7: And also to you know, we also have to remember 360 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 7: the AI is only as good as the as the 361 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 7: database that it pulls information from it, and only as 362 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 7: good as the bias that the programmer programs into it. 363 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 7: But it's interesting too because Mark Zuckerberg is investing I 364 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 7: think it's sixty five billion dollars into developing artificial intelligence 365 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 7: specifically for the purpose of creating AI generated content creators. 366 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 7: And their in game is to actually turn humans on 367 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 7: Facebook and Instagram into consumers only, and that they would 368 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 7: then use AI to be the content creators. And then 369 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 7: that way guys like Zuckerberg could say, oh, yeah, we're 370 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 7: a free speech platform. Well yeah, because you control the 371 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 7: speech that's on there, and you control the creators that 372 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 7: are on there, and then which makes it easier for 373 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 7: you to sell advertising and promote whatever narratives you want 374 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 7: to promote and all that. So and also too, then 375 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 7: they won't have to do any kind of revenue share 376 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 7: with their content creators that are on their platform. So 377 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 7: that's that's where they're going. And I think that you know, 378 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 7: when we look at what's happening on all these tech platforms, 379 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 7: and you know, they're using us the people, in order 380 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 7: to fuel their AI, which in their mind is going 381 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 7: to replace us. For example, a lot of people don't 382 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 7: realize this, but recently Elon Must sold X essentially to himself, 383 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 7: but X is now owned by Xai, So xai owns 384 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 7: x Y because X is the database that they're pulling 385 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 7: all the information from. So all of our tweets, all 386 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 7: of our posts on X are going in order to 387 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 7: build up the artificial intelligence that is going to replace 388 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 7: us as the content creators like make it make sense, well. 389 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: Not only replace us on the internet in social media, 390 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: but replace all of what What is the danger of 391 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 2: AI completely taking over the technology, completely taking over and 392 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: rendering millions upon millions of human jobs obsolete. 393 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: Are we at that point yet? 394 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: Is it going to happen within the next decade, or 395 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: are there too many problems with AI that it will 396 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: fall under its own. 397 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 5: Weight now all. So, there's a couple of things. 398 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 7: One I think is that you know, as I'm listening 399 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 7: to a lot of people in the tech world, and 400 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 7: they're all saying that that they're considered that there's an 401 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 7: AI bubble, which I kind. 402 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 5: Of agree with, and I kind of disagree with that. 403 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 7: I agree that there's an AI bubble in the sense 404 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 7: that I think that they're investing way too much money 405 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 7: into it, that some of these companies are not going 406 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 7: to be able to generate enough revenue based upon their 407 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 7: hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, and so a 408 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 7: lot of the big tech companies that we see are 409 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 7: either going to go out of business or restructure or 410 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 7: something along those lines. However, also you listen to a 411 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 7: lot of these guys that are developing the AI, they 412 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 7: see AI is replacing not just one hundred million jobs, 413 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 7: fifty million jobs, one hundred like they're talking about replacing 414 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 7: all human jobs. So there's no need for humans to 415 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 7: be in the workforce. And this is leading to, you know, 416 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 7: conversations about you universal basic income or as Sam Altman 417 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 7: is actually proposing that instead of you having ubi from 418 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 7: the government, that you would have what they call a 419 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 7: dividend coming from these tech companies that would pay you 420 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 7: to basically not work. 421 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 5: And so basically now. 422 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 7: Instead of there being a universal basic skin come from 423 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 7: the government, where okay, if the government, you know, violates 424 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 7: your constitutional rights. 425 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 5: You could, you know, take it to court and all 426 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. 427 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 7: But if you have a private entity that you rely 428 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 7: upon for your revenue, and all of a sudden they say, well, yeah, well, 429 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 7: we don't like what you talk about, we don't like 430 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 7: your focus, we don't like what you're spending your money on, 431 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 7: so we're going to cut you off. They don't have 432 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 7: a constitutional responsibility to protect your free speech rights or 433 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 7: your First Amendment rights or anything along those lines, where 434 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 7: as the government would. So now basically that these tech companies, 435 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 7: if it goes as planned, are going to have more 436 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 7: power over your life, and they can actually implement the 437 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 7: censorship that we've been opposed to for so long in 438 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 7: a way that the government never could. This is far 439 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 7: more dangerous if this continues down the trajectory that we're head, 440 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 7: than anything that the government could ever do. 441 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: Well, it's like the digital I D that the UN 442 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: has proposed. It would control every aspect of your life 443 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 2: through technology and through this digital so called digital ID. 444 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 2: It's kind of like the digital dollar and everything. Uh, 445 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: you not being able to have any control over your 446 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 2: buying power over things that you want to buy, or maybe, 447 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 2: as you said, being cut off completely because they don't 448 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: like your social credit score i e. 449 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: Communist China, right right. 450 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 7: Well, and and that's where it's it's it's an interesting conversation, 451 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 7: especially about the digital ID and uh and you know, 452 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 7: digital currency and all that, because I think, you know, 453 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 7: there's obviously there's a push, especially in the European countries 454 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 7: to to make it, you know, by the force of law. 455 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 7: We're seeing this the United Kingdom and some of some 456 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 7: of these other places. There's there's been conversations about happening 457 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 7: here in the United States. And what I've actually been 458 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 7: been fear, I guess you could say, is I don't 459 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 7: think that that would actually hold up, you know, under 460 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 7: under you know, courts and Supreme Court and all that 461 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 7: kind of stuff, because it would be widely unconstitutional. However, 462 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 7: what would happen if all of a sudden, let's say, 463 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 7: a company like x or open ai or one of 464 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 7: these artificial intelligence companies comes in and says, hey. 465 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,719 Speaker 5: You know that's fine. You don't legally have to according 466 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 5: to the United States government, but. 467 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 7: On our platform, you have to have a digital ID, 468 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 7: and you have to have and we're going to implement 469 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 7: a social credit score, which they're already doing. They're actually 470 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 7: ranking you on X right now, zero to ninety nine. 471 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 7: And then based upon that credit score, that social credit 472 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 7: score will depend on how likely you're to be seen 473 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 7: within their algorithms and in the new speed and trending 474 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff. So imagine that now 475 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 7: you know, Elon's already talking about developing his own currency. 476 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 7: Let's say let's say that they require you to have 477 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 7: some sort of digital ID in order to be a 478 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 7: part of their ecosystem. And as they continue to expand, 479 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 7: then maybe more companies begins to adopt this new technology 480 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 7: and ID and social credit score and all that to 481 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 7: where again they're bypassing the government. 482 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 5: Where there'd be a lot of legal hoops in order 483 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 5: to implement it, to where now. 484 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 7: It would be a quote unquote voluntary opt opt in 485 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 7: digital ID or social credit score, central bank digital currency, 486 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 7: the whole deal to where to where they could actually 487 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 7: get away with doing the mass censorship and having complete 488 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 7: control over your life. So unless we create some sort 489 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 7: of alternative ecosystem that's completely separated from AI, we're all 490 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 7: kind of screwed because what legal recourse do you have 491 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 7: if a private company violates your constitutional rights? We don't 492 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 7: have any because that's only there in order to prevent 493 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 7: the federal government from violating rights, not necessarily a private company. 494 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: Have you received any pushback on pickax from these other 495 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 2: giants and how do you protect yourself against because they 496 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: have a lot of money and a lot of power, Chef. 497 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't as of yet. 498 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 7: And again just because we're technically under pre right now, 499 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 7: so we've got to get web burden out now actually 500 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 7: going to be dropping soon. 501 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 5: But I'm fully prepared for there being some sort. 502 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 7: Of pushback blowback you know at tax things like that, 503 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 7: and so we're taking a variety of precautions, everything from 504 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 7: you know, servers and having backups to where if one 505 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 7: server takes us down, we can just flip a switch 506 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 7: and instantaneously be back up live. So you know, we're 507 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 7: we're going into everything with our eyes wide open. Knowing 508 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 7: that there's that there's going to be pushed back because 509 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 7: we're going against the grain, we're going against the system, 510 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 7: and we're creating a space that is very centered on 511 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 7: human beings and ultimately trying to create an alternative ecosystem 512 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 7: to where, you know, if all this kind of stuff 513 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 7: comes to pass, as as I've been predicting that there 514 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 7: will be a human centered space that that you know, 515 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 7: we're not living in the Pixar movie Wally like like 516 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 7: like Elon must says, we're going to end up being 517 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 7: but we're actually going to be able to have you know, 518 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 7: human to human connection and in community and creativity and 519 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 7: all that kind of stuff. So I know there will 520 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 7: be pushed b and we have certain things in place 521 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 7: in order to bypass that as much as possible. 522 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: Good because they believe me, if you start making waves 523 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 2: with Pickaxe, you know that those ripples will finally be 524 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: noticed by the people you've been talking about and the 525 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: powers that be in the tech world, and they will 526 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: either try and swallow you up or or neuter you 527 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: somehow and keep you from you know, disrupting. 528 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: Their evil plans. Tell me about following the leader the book. 529 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 7: So yeah, So that's a that's a book that I've 530 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 7: been I've been working on a writing and should be 531 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 7: able to get it all wrapped up and finished soon. 532 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 5: But the whole idea. 533 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 7: So in one of my first books that I put together, 534 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 7: it was a group book project, and I brought together 535 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: a bunch of pastors and theologians and all that talking 536 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 7: about different issues facing the church. 537 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 5: And one of the chapters that I wrote. 538 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 7: In that book was about the evangelical cult of personality 539 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 7: and how a lot of these magatures pastors within Christianity 540 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 7: almost set up their own mini cult within the Christian 541 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 7: ecosystem to where you completely rely upon them for all 542 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 7: of your theological training and teaching, and whatever they say goes, 543 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 7: and you're kind of taught not to question them, and 544 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 7: just well they're the most trained experts in their fields, 545 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 7: so you have to just believe them, and then you 546 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 7: follow them. And then they end up use and abuse 547 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 7: their people in order to build up their wealth. They've 548 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 7: set up all sorts of different, you know, kinds of 549 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 7: nonprofits all over the place that they're bringing in. 550 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 5: They're just raking in the money, all that kind. 551 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 7: Of stuff, and they have ultimate control and power and 552 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 7: all that, and when I looked at a lot of them, 553 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 7: I realize a lot of them are using certain cult 554 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 7: tactics in order to manipulate their base into you know, 555 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 7: essentially playing follow the leader. Well then I started seeing, well, 556 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 7: this isn't just happening within the church, this is happening 557 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 7: within the political sphere. This is happening within mainstream society 558 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 7: as well. So I started researching them. That's really what 559 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 7: led into following the Leader. And as I was researching this, 560 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 7: I realized, well, you know, you take this back to scientology, 561 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 7: and you've this back to Jim Jones and Charles Manson 562 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 7: and a lot of these different cults. It's all the 563 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 7: same tactics that are being used. And so then I 564 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 7: started researching the cults and looking into and looking into 565 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 7: all of that, and you know, things like MK ultra 566 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 7: and brainwashing and all that, and you realize, well, there's 567 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 7: a lot of the same tactics there. And then a 568 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 7: lot of these leaders have direct ties with an intelligence 569 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 7: agency of some kind, and you're like, what's going on here? 570 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 5: So you know, as I'm looking. 571 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 7: At this, it makes perfect sense that I think a 572 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 7: lot of these cults, going way back, we're kind of 573 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 7: testing grounds in order in order for to see how 574 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 7: do you get normal everyday people coming off the street 575 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 7: to either come in and believe something insane, do some 576 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 7: sort of atrocious thing that you would never that no 577 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 7: human being would do, like Charles Manson going around and 578 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 7: just mass murdering people and all, how did they do that? 579 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 7: So I started looking at this and it was like, 580 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 7: you know, you start with a basic lie, you build 581 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 7: upon that, you build upon that, you build upon that 582 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 7: until you believe something absolutely insane. And we saw that 583 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 7: happen with COVID. We see that happening today in politics, 584 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 7: we see that happening Trump, We see. 585 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 5: That happening everywhere. 586 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 7: And so my theory that a posit in the book 587 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 7: is basically that you have the intelligence agencies or some 588 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 7: kind of power that's involved that use the cult as 589 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 7: testing grounds and then now they're playing out these tactics 590 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 7: on a mass scale. And then the question is are 591 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 7: have you been taken in by some sort of cult tactic? 592 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 7: And that can happen on the left, it can happen 593 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 7: on the right. And so the thing is do we 594 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 7: self reflect, take a look at our lives and figure 595 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 7: out what do I believe, not just what do I believe? 596 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 5: But why do I believe it? 597 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 7: Am I just a parent that's repeating what somebody else said? 598 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 7: Or do I actually know that it's true? So that's 599 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 7: really the whole theory behind the book. 600 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 2: I guess you could say, well, as a believing Christian, 601 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: I know that Jesus Christ is my sales savior. No 602 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: man is my savior, whether it be a president or 603 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 2: a congressman or an evangelical preacher with a large following. 604 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: You know, you can go through the litany of names, 605 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: which we don't need to do. Everybody knows what we're 606 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: talking about, I think. But my my issue is that 607 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 2: these cult like tactics, are these basic cults that are 608 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 2: predicated on the lie uh you know that you've got 609 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: to follow this one human being, this man uh to 610 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 2: uh to find your path to salvation. Is that it 611 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 2: turns people off of real scripturally based Christianity, you know 612 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 2: what I mean? 613 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, no, absolutely, And I think I think it also 614 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 7: that one of the one of the problems is is 615 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 7: that a lot of times in the in this these 616 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 7: kind of like cult mindsets, whether you're talking about within 617 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 7: Christianity or within politics, they they really try to persuade 618 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 7: you not to question anything and and not to not 619 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 7: to actually, you know, do your own research and figure 620 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 7: it out and all that. And I think that that's 621 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 7: that's that's one of the really big things that I 622 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 7: really want to encourage people to is break away from 623 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 7: this mentality of you're not supposed to question, like question everything, 624 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 7: because because the truth, if you are a true secret 625 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 7: of the truth, you read the Bible, you know from 626 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 7: in the political sphere, obviously, you read the Constitution, you 627 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 7: read the Founding documents, you go through all that. The 628 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 7: truth is there, you go find it. But you also 629 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 7: have to be humble enough to realize that maybe I 630 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 7: miss something, maybe I'm wrong. And so for me, I 631 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 7: have a lot of conversations with a lot of people 632 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 7: from a lot of different perspectives, and I go into 633 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 7: everything believing what I believe one hundred percent, but I'm 634 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 7: also open to the idea that possibly the other person 635 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 7: I have an argument where I need to go back 636 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 7: and I need to look at what I believe and say, Okay, 637 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 7: did my belief hold up the scrutiny or do I 638 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 7: need to maybe reconsider something, tweet something, change something. 639 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: Jeff we're out of time, but I appreciate yours. Pickaxe 640 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: is this new human based social media that Jeff Dornick 641 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 2: and his group have launched.

What do the 656 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 3: stats actually say? 657 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 2: There's no better expert than our guest, John Lott, Doctor Lott, 658 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 2: it's great to have you back on the show. 659 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 8: How are you doing great, great to talk to you, 660 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me on. 661 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 2: Just drop something in real clear politics here? What do 662 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: stats really say about the crime surge? So can we 663 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 2: just get a thumbnail first of the overview of what 664 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: that says. What do the stats do say about the 665 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 2: crime surge in America today? 666 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 6: Right? 667 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 8: But I think with over the last four years, we've 668 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 8: seen a huge percentage increase in violent crime, about a 669 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 8: fifty nine percent increase over four years, which is unprecedented 670 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 8: for that large of a percentage increase. And it basically 671 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 8: comes down to this. There are two measures that we 672 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 8: have of crime. We have crimes report to police and 673 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 8: then we have total crimes. And what people need to 674 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 8: realize is that only about forty percent of violent crimes 675 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 8: get report to police and only about thirty percent of 676 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 8: property crimes get reported to police. And in the past, 677 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 8: prior to COVID, the number of crimes reported to police 678 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 8: and the total amount of crime. 679 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 6: Tended to go up and down together. 680 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 8: But since COVID, there's been a real huge disconnect. What 681 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 8: we've seen a little drop in an overall reported crime, 682 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 8: we've actually seen this huge, unprecedented increase in total crime. 683 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 6: This's occurred. 684 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned in this Real Clear Politics article 685 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 2: that during the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, 686 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: President Trump now President Trump, said violent crime was rising. 687 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 2: The ABC moderator said, President Trump, as you know, the 688 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 2: FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country. 689 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: Was the FBI cook in the books or is it 690 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: just this the fact that it's the crimes are not 691 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: being reported. 692 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 3: John. 693 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 8: Right, Well, I think it's the crimes just aren't being reported, 694 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 8: and there's simple reasons for that. One of the biggest 695 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 8: reasons is whether or not people report crimes to the 696 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 8: police depends in part on whether or not people think 697 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 8: that the criminals are going to be and punished. And 698 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 8: one thing that we've seen over the last few years 699 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 8: has been a huge drop in the rate that criminals 700 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 8: are arrested and punished for crime. It's gone down like 701 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 8: by almost half of what it was beforehand. And it's 702 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 8: also become more difficult for people to report crimes in 703 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 8: many parts of the country. You know, six seven years ago, 704 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 8: if you had had a violent crime occur and you 705 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 8: called up the police, they would send out a police car. Well, 706 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 8: now if you call it nine to one one, what 707 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 8: they'll go and they'll say is they'll ask you first, 708 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 8: is the criminals still there committing the crime? And if 709 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 8: you say no, which is virtually always the case, that 710 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 8: you know the crimes already occurred, the criminals left the scene. 711 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 8: They'll say, well, you can come down to the police 712 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 8: station and wait in line, and uh, you know, you 713 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 8: can get a police report filled out. A lot of 714 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 8: people may not understand that just simply calling up nine 715 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 8: to one one doesn't result in a police report. Will 716 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 8: only get a police report when a police officer actually 717 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 8: goes and fills out the report that's there. And so 718 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 8: you know, it's it's not too difficult to understand. I 719 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 8: guess that if if you make it more costly, more 720 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 8: time consuming for people to go and report a crime, 721 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 8: you're going to have at least some people who are 722 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 8: going to say, look, it's just not worth my time 723 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 8: to go and do that, and so those crimes will 724 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 8: go unreported. 725 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 2: The National Crime Victimization Survey that your reference in this 726 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 2: article a pretty steep contrast between President Trump's first term 727 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 2: and Joe Biden's term in office as president. As you mentioned, 728 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 2: the fifty nine percent surge, with rape and sexual assault 729 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 2: up sixty seven percent, robbery of thirty eight percent, an 730 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,959 Speaker 2: aggravated assault of sixty two two. That's like twenty twenty 731 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 2: through twenty twenty four. As you said post COVID the 732 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 2: first term of President Trump. That same NCVS data showed 733 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 2: that between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty, violent crime fell 734 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 2: fifteen percent, including a six percent drop in robbery, a 735 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 2: twenty four percent decline, and aggravated assault, rape and sexual 736 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: assault rose slightly. The increase was less than ten percent 737 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 2: over what occurred in Joe Biden's term. So what was 738 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 2: happening differently in President Trump's first term that didn't happen 739 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 2: during Biden It maybe is not related to COVID from 740 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 2: what you're seeing. 741 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 8: Well, I think I think under Biden, the big problem 742 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 8: that you have is that they just made it a 743 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 8: lot less risky for criminals to go on commit crime. 744 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 8: I mean, look at DC for example, in Washington, d C. 745 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 8: It's the US attorney who's responsible for prosecuting crimes by adults, 746 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 8: the US attorney that you had there under the Biden administration. 747 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 8: In twenty twenty two, he refused to prosecute sixty seven 748 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 8: percent of the arrests that occurred during that time. In 749 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 8: twenty twenty three, he refused to prosecute still fifty six 750 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 8: percent of the arrests that occurred there. As a huge 751 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 8: percentage of arrest that just won't result in prosecutions. Obviously 752 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 8: under somebody like Judge Dean Pirot right now, she's had 753 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 8: much more aggressive you know, if you're arrested, she's going 754 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 8: to prosecute you for your crime. And you know, during 755 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 8: the first Trump term, only about thirty percent of arrests 756 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:59,959 Speaker 8: were not prosecuted. So you know, it was still higher 757 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 8: than Piero, but it was a lot less than was 758 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 8: occurring under the Biden administration. And you know, it's just 759 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 8: kind of a lot of the resources in the federal government, 760 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 8: like with regard to the FBI, they were not being 761 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 8: used to go after what you and I might regard 762 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 8: as violent criminals. They would go and record license plates 763 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 8: at school board meetings, or go and infiltrate you know, 764 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 8: Catholic church meetings, or you know, a huge amount of 765 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 8: effort and time dealing with January sixth, even people that 766 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 8: had no violent actions that were taken. You know, the 767 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 8: the on average, the person the people who engaged in 768 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 8: any violence on January sixth spent at least forty two 769 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 8: months in prison. But there are lots of people who 770 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 8: ended up spending you know, being investigated and spending substantial 771 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 8: time in prison who engaged in absolutely no violence at all, 772 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 8: you know, basically trespassing type things. 773 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Paradi. 774 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 8: Right well, and there was a huge amount of resources 775 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 8: spent on that. So, you know, under Trump, whether it 776 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 8: was the first term or even more so now, they're 777 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 8: going you know, they're going after criminals. 778 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 779 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: So let me ask you talking to John Lott from 780 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 2: the Crime Prevention Research Center about the crime surge that 781 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 2: we've been living through the last four years or so, 782 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 2: which President Trump has been talking about and not only 783 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 2: in the debate before in the campaign, but he's been 784 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 2: actively trying to do something about it, obviously, and he's 785 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 2: getting a lot of pushback about that from around the 786 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: country for various reasons, but they're mostly political in anything 787 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: that Trump does must be stopped immediately, even if it's right. 788 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 2: We see that all over the place, John, But what 789 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 2: about what he did with the Federal District of Columbia, 790 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 2: And you mentioned the criminals knowing they're going to be 791 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 2: prosecuted is the main thing that's the deterrent to actually 792 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 2: bring the crime rate down, and I believe that as well. 793 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 2: But what do you think about the President's plan to 794 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 2: install federal troops to augment local police departments around the country. 795 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 2: Is that going to be an effective tool if he's 796 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 2: allowed to do it? 797 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, they've already been doing this in Memphis. 798 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,720 Speaker 8: There seems to be a substantial drop that they're seeing 799 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 8: in crime already there. Obviously they had huge drops in 800 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 8: violent crime, like an eighty five drop in carjackings. 801 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 6: In Washington, d C. 802 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 8: When they moved Himand you know, it's a combination of things. 803 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 8: In Memphis and d C. They've moved federal law enforcement 804 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 8: agents like the FBI, ATF and others into the area there. 805 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 8: They've also moved to National Guard. So you know it's 806 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 8: in d C about thirteen hundred patrol officers, no more 807 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 8: than four hundred are on duty at any point in time. 808 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,279 Speaker 8: The change that Trump made essentially doubled the number of 809 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 8: boots that you had on the ground at any point 810 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 8: in time. And you know, they had huge increases in arrests, 811 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,359 Speaker 8: made it much more difficult for criminals to commit crime. 812 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 8: What's riskier, and they've been prosecuting them. Now they're still problems. 813 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 8: The District Columbia is responsible for prosecuting juvenile crime. You 814 00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 8: just had that situation where the young doage individual, the 815 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 8: government efficiency expert you know, nicknamed Big Balls, he had 816 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 8: been savagely beaten and attacked by ten juveniles. The judge 817 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 8: released them, initially didn't require that they had to spend 818 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 8: time in jail, and now this last week she just 819 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 8: decided that they would get no jail time, that they 820 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 8: would just get probation for the savage AGGBT assault that 821 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 8: they engaged in. 822 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 6: You know, so. 823 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 8: You still have problems in DC and things that they 824 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 8: completely control in terms like the punishment for juveniles. But 825 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 8: you know, there there's still been some change in all 826 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 8: the violent adult criminals that they've taken off the street. 827 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 8: You know, they're still off the street. They're still going 828 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 8: to be not committing crime for some period of time, 829 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 8: So there'll still be some benefits even when the federal 830 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 8: law enforcement has moved away from there. But you know, 831 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 8: it's Trump has done things across the board. It's not 832 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 8: just higher rest rates, higher conviction rates, longer prison sentences, 833 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 8: but they've also made it easier for victims to be 834 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 8: able to go and defend themselves, which also makes it 835 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 8: riskier for criminals to makes it riskier for criminals to 836 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 8: commit crimes. So, for example, it had been taking six 837 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 8: to eight months or more for people to get their 838 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 8: concealed carry permit in Washington, d C. The Trump administration 839 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 8: put pressure on the DC government and they've sped it 840 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 8: up now to get your permit within two weeks. You know, 841 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:53,840 Speaker 8: all those things matter. 842 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 2: Well, do you have a you take a lot of 843 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,480 Speaker 2: good stock and the Bureau of Justice Statistics National Crime 844 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 2: Victimization Survey, which you know before twenty twenty, the FBI 845 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 2: Statistics and the Bureau of Statistics, as you point out 846 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 2: in this article in real clear politics, they kind of 847 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 2: moved side by side in tandem. But then they are 848 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,879 Speaker 2: totally different now as far as reported crime from the 849 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 2: FBI and then from the survey of two hundred and 850 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,359 Speaker 2: forty thousand people living in the United States asking whether 851 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 2: they were crime victims, the two are moving in opposite 852 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 2: directions or have been. Do you see a lot of 853 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 2: validity into that particular survey because there are so many 854 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 2: people interviewed. 855 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 8: No, I mean they survey two hundred and forty thousand people, 856 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 8: so I mean it's really a huge survey. I mean, 857 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 8: it's kind of always been the gold standard for crime 858 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 8: statistics and The reason is that we know that most 859 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 8: violent crimes and most property crimes aren't report to police. 860 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,360 Speaker 8: And you know, if you're going to ask people, what 861 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,760 Speaker 8: about most do you care about what's happened to total 862 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 8: crime or you care about the number of crimes that 863 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 8: reports police. I mean, obviously both matter in some sense 864 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,319 Speaker 8: in terms of policy and what. 865 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 6: You want to do. 866 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 8: But you know what affects the quality of people's lives 867 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,720 Speaker 8: is what happens to total crime? 868 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 2: All right, Well, you can find the actual stats and 869 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,280 Speaker 2: the information because they do a phenomenal job of compiling 870 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: it all at Crimeresearch dot org.

So 903 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 2: I am right there with you. 904 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 9: That's exactly right, because I grew up in Joliet, uh huh, Illinois. 905 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we were.

You know, I still have relatives, my 909 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 9: nieces and nephews live in Naperville, and that's just a wonderful, 910 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 9: wonderful area. 911 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 5: So we have we have that in common. 912 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 9: W LS listening to that station on my transistor radio also, 913 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,840 Speaker 9: so you know it was that little our RCA radio 914 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 9: that we had. 915 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had. I had a nine volt to operate 916 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 2: a GE transistor right up against my ear. Anyway, Doctor Brady, U, 917 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 2: this is this is old Home Week for us. But 918 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 2: for the benefit for the edification of the audience, what 919 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,680 Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the psychological DNA and the 920 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,440 Speaker 2: cold case analysis of who killed Robert F. Kennedy, And 921 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 2: you're talking about breakdown as it relates to modern day 922 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 2: assassins or people that are looked at as assassins. Did 923 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 2: they act alone and all Lee Lee Harvey Oswald. You know, 924 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 2: there were so many things in the RFK case back 925 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,880 Speaker 2: in the summer of nineteen sixty eight that did not 926 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 2: really add up to Sir Han Surhan? 927 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 3: Is that true? 928 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 6: That's right? 929 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 9: I mean, I mean I worked on that case peripherally 930 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 9: with the chief psychiatrist, doctor Bernard Diamond. He was my 931 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:26,479 Speaker 9: advisor in the Schruel Criminology at UC Berkeley, and he 932 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 9: more or less orchestrated the psychiatric defense on behalf of 933 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 9: Sir Hand. But as you say, Gary, there were a 934 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 9: lot of misnomers. 935 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 5: There were a lot of issues with that trial. 936 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:47,360 Speaker 9: The defense kind of drifted into a position where nobody 937 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 9: knew exactly where they were going. The doctors had information 938 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 9: that were at cross purposes with the primary defense of 939 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 9: Sir Hand, which was a diminished capacity the defense that 940 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 9: was not a complete psychiatric defense, but it was a 941 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 9: partial defense to show that he wasn't one hundred percent 942 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 9: responsible for his behavior at the time of the assassination 943 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 9: of RFK. The testimony presented by many of the witnesses 944 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 9: just counteracted where doctor Diamond wanted to go with his 945 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 9: defense and left it very confusing to the jury that 946 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 9: kind of just threw up their hands and said, this 947 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 9: is all just psychobabble, we don't understand it, and we're 948 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 9: going to convict. 949 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 3: Okay, all right. 950 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 2: So Lee Harvey Oswald is another obviously interesting character as 951 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 2: it plays into assassins or alleged assassins of famous political 952 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 2: leaders in this country or famous people in this country. 953 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 2: And we never got the chance to really psychologically examine 954 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 2: Lee Harvey Oswald, did we. 955 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 5: See that? 956 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 9: That's that's good point, Gary, That's probably the point in 957 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 9: my book Breakdown, where I compare the mental status of 958 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 9: Lee Harvey Oswald with Sir Hand. 959 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 5: Sir Hand. 960 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 9: What I found is that lots of people have commented 961 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 9: over the years, including forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, concerning their 962 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:36,800 Speaker 9: individual psycho pathologies. There's been no real side by side 963 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 9: comparison of their of their developmental behaviors. 964 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 5: And how they got to. 965 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 9: A particular stage where they took up firearms and wanted 966 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 9: to kill the Kennedy brothers. In this book, I go 967 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 9: back historically, and as you say, there hasn't been much 968 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 9: really done in terms of an analysis or no comparison 969 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 9: of these two individuals. So I trace it all the 970 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:12,280 Speaker 9: way back to probably about age twelve, where both of 971 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 9: these people experienced severe psychological traumas. With Lee Harvey Oswalt, 972 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 9: he was placed in a New York guidance center. He 973 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 9: was evaluated by a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a social worker, 974 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 9: and the reports that came out concerning his behavior at 975 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 9: the time suggested that he had violent potential, violent tendencies, 976 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 9: was alienated, was cut off, in the strange. 977 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 5: From other people. 978 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 9: His psychological testing at that particular time, particularly using some 979 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 9: psychological projective techniques, also showed that he was cut off. 980 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 9: He was alien He was a strange from society. He 981 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:08,000 Speaker 9: was a strange from his domineering, pretty much crazy mother, 982 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 9: Margaret Rete Oswald, who had a tremendous negative impact on 983 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 9: his life. When you compare that then to let's look 984 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 9: at Sirhan at age twelve, he was embroiled in the 985 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 9: same kind of conflict that was going on in Gaza today. 986 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 9: So there's a parallel between what happened was Sirhan's developmental 987 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 9: years at age twelve, still living in East Palestine East 988 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 9: Jerusalem that was later annexed as Jordan, but he saw 989 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 9: a terrible violence. He saw people being killed, his brother 990 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 9: was killed. He saw body parts, people blown up on 991 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 9: the street, He saw people who. 992 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 5: Were who were dismembered. 993 00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:01,440 Speaker 9: He had tremendous psychological pressures at the same stage, same 994 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 9: age as Lee Harvey Oswald did. 995 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,439 Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of no wonder that the so called 996 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 2: Palestinian people, whomever they may be, the Arabs that call 997 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 2: themselves Palestinian, wind up with that kind of a history, 998 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 2: wind up electing terrorists as people to protect and to 999 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 2: lead them. It's no big surprise, is it. 1000 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 5: It's some big surprise. 1001 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 9: And the interesting the interesting point, Gary, is that as 1002 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 9: you look back me history repeats itself. It was the 1003 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 9: same exact situation happening in Gaza after that October seventh 1004 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 9: invasion and murder of the Jewish kids at the Rock festival. 1005 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 9: It was the same kind of pathology that Sirhan faced 1006 00:59:55,360 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 9: with belligerents during the time of the occupation of the British, 1007 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 9: turning it over to NATO to become a separate country, 1008 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 9: which it did in nineteen forty seven. So there are 1009 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 9: absolute similarities between what's happening today, what happened then, and 1010 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 9: the Palestinian government franchise pretty much has remained the same 1011 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 9: as a terrorist organization devoted to Mayhem, especially. 1012 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 5: Against the Jewish population. 1013 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 9: Sirhan couldn't avoid to be indoctrinated into this ideology of 1014 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 9: hating Jews. 1015 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 5: This substream of. 1016 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 9: Thought permeated his entire behavior and was well reflected in 1017 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 9: what we talked about before, which was the trial. During 1018 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 9: the trial, several of the doctors were Jewish, including doctor Diamond, 1019 01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 9: and Sir Hand continually impaled belittled the jewishness of these 1020 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 9: doctors that were actually. 1021 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 5: Trying to help him. 1022 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 10: He wanted to to to to not deal with Jewish doctors. 1023 01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:16,240 Speaker 10: He kept he kept calling them, you know, against him, 1024 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,560 Speaker 10: that they were anti Palestinian. 1025 01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 5: None of this was true. The team of doctors that. 1026 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:28,600 Speaker 9: Were Jewish of Jewish religion wanted to help him, but 1027 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 9: because of his hatred that was engendered when he was 1028 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,800 Speaker 9: still in Palestine, really worked at variants with his own 1029 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 9: self interest to present a defense that might reduce the 1030 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 9: charges against him to second degree murder that would allowed 1031 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 9: him to get get parole rather than convicted of first 1032 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 9: degree murder where he was sentenced to death. 1033 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 3: All right, let's flash ahead to Luigi Mangioti and the 1034 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 3: Have you found any similar patterns in his development? 1035 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 9: Luigi Mangione I call an ideology tourist. There are so 1036 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 9: many of these people floating around in society, particularly on 1037 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 9: the on the dark pages of the Internet, who are 1038 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 9: looking for causes to tie their existence to or to 1039 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 9: justify their existence. Mangione was this kind of person, as 1040 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 9: evidenced by his own manifesto, where he was anti capitalistic, 1041 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 9: He was anti American, anti healthcare obviously, so his main 1042 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 9: focus was a destruction of the US healthcare system because 1043 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:57,080 Speaker 9: he felt it was a a top down system that 1044 01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 9: that militated against poor people denying claims. Even on three 1045 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 9: of the bullet casings he wrote words of denied delay 1046 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 9: and deposed meaning denied UH coverage for healthcare delay services, 1047 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 9: and then in the end deposed people or take them 1048 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 9: to court to reject their their medical claims. So his 1049 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 9: his ideology kind of blinded him and sent him into 1050 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 9: this this. 1051 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 5: Separate mind state where he thought that he was the. 1052 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 9: Important, most important person in the world to be able 1053 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 9: to change things his Interestingly enough, another person that I 1054 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 9: that I talk about in my book is Ted Kazinsky, 1055 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 9: the unibomber ted Kazinsky became Mangione's hero. He he recommended 1056 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 9: he recommended reading Kazinsky's book on the Anti Society, Anti 1057 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 9: Capitalistic Society, written. 1058 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 5: Thirty years before. 1059 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:16,720 Speaker 9: So his ideology kind of sprang from from the Unibomber's 1060 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 9: ideology that was kind of nihilistic to overthrow the certain 1061 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,400 Speaker 9: factions of the country, certain factions of the government. And 1062 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 9: Mangioni picked up on this during a reading session when 1063 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:35,440 Speaker 9: he was in exile in in in Hawaii where he 1064 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 9: hooked up with a commune before he committed this particular crime. 1065 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 2: Oh, you know, and the Charlie kirkshooter, would you would 1066 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 2: you regard him as another one of these ideological tourists. 1067 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there that with Robinson, there's a similar 1068 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 9: kind of vein of thought where he was looking for 1069 01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 9: a a way to justify the kind of behavior that 1070 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 9: he was about to engage in against Charlie Kirk. There's 1071 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 9: so many factors to that Robinson case, the transsexual issue 1072 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 9: with the boyfriend, with actually what Charlie Kirk was saying 1073 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 9: at the time that he was assassinated concerning transgenderism, is 1074 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:35,360 Speaker 9: probably no coincidence that this is when he fired the 1075 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,080 Speaker 9: fatal shot that killed Charlie Kirk. 1076 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 5: So he was. 1077 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 9: Another kind of lost soul drifting out there looking for 1078 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 9: some kind of meaning. And there are literally thousands of 1079 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 9: these people who become addicted to the Internet who seek 1080 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 9: some sort of existential meaning through the Internet and as 1081 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 9: an outlet that they want to justify their behavior as 1082 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 9: being the person who's capable of taking measures into their 1083 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 9: own hands to change society. So Robinson probably had a 1084 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:19,640 Speaker 9: naive belief system that by by shooting Charlie Kirk that 1085 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 9: he was actually going to change something in society, whereas 1086 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 9: in the end he just becomes a murderer, just like 1087 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 9: Luigi Mangioni did, although Manngione probably a lot more ahead 1088 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 9: in terms of IQ points orchestrated and wrote about his 1089 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 9: belief system in his manifesto that the defense attorney now 1090 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 9: in New York is trying to preclude from being used 1091 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 9: as as evidence against him. 1092 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 2: Right, Doctor Brady, I tell people all the time, I'm 1093 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 2: so glad that I've had this career in radio, so 1094 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 2: I don't feel isolated and go shoot people. 1095 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 3: I have an outlet. 1096 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, well you. 1097 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 9: Can also you can also talk to me, you know, 1098 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 9: I'll talk. 1099 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 2: I appreciate that, doctor John Brady.

No 1128 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 2: matter what you're told in numerous mainstream sources elsewhere, the 1129 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 2: fear mongering that has gone on, the false data, the 1130 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 2: wrong computer models, and all of that monoly. Derek Shauna 1131 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 2: is a guy who actually, Derek Shawnee is a guy 1132 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 2: who actually puts together real science based models and data 1133 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 2: to tell the public what's really going on.

All the actual evidence 1142 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,520 Speaker 2: is that the Earth is greening, we're not substantially warmer 1143 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:55,280 Speaker 2: than we were, and that a man made causes as 1144 01:09:55,320 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 2: far as affecting the climate are magnificant or to the 1145 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 2: point of insignificant insignificance. But yet the push is still 1146 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:12,320 Speaker 2: on by these globalists and people who want the redistribution 1147 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 2: of Western wealth to support their claim. First and foremost, Bnali, No, 1148 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 2: science is not Consensus's let's get that out of the 1149 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:28,400 Speaker 2: way first. There's no consensus that that man made cause 1150 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,080 Speaker 2: global warming is going to be the downfall of it's 1151 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 2: all in the planet because consensus is not science. 1152 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:35,879 Speaker 3: Correct. 1153 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 1154 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,680 Speaker 11: That's also Michael crichteny thanously said, if it's science, it 1155 01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 11: isn't consensus, and if it's consensus, it isn't science. 1156 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1157 01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 2: So, I mean, what have you found in your most 1158 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 2: recent research? Is there any new information that the CO 1159 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 2: two coalition has put together to try and convince people 1160 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 2: that they need to be paying attention to the truth 1161 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:07,000 Speaker 2: and not all of the hype and the yelling and 1162 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 2: the noise it's coming from the other side. 1163 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1164 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 11: So, in our latest newsletter for the CO two correlition, 1165 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 11: we expose the fear mongering surrounding the coral reefs, especially 1166 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 11: the Great Barrier Reef, and the alleged effect that global 1167 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,799 Speaker 11: warming is having on the coral reef ecosystems on the planet. 1168 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:33,400 Speaker 6: So in particular, one. 1169 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:39,959 Speaker 11: Of the main talking points of the climate alarmist mafia 1170 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:46,120 Speaker 11: is that the Great Barrier Reef or coral reefs globally 1171 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:51,680 Speaker 11: are suffering and dying off as a result of the 1172 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 11: increased planetary temperatures, allegedly due to the rising concentration of 1173 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 11: CO two in the atmosphere calls by also allegedly or 1174 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 11: caused by us actually, but in fact, if we look 1175 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:10,600 Speaker 11: at the latest measurement data of coral cover for the 1176 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 11: Great Barrier Reef, we find that actually in twenty twenty 1177 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 11: five the coral cover is the highest. It's still in 1178 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 11: a record high amounts in this forty year period. It's 1179 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 11: higher than it was in nineteen eighty five, and it's 1180 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,760 Speaker 11: higher than it was anywhere between nineteen eighty five and 1181 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 11: around two thousand twenty one or so, And so in 1182 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 11: the past four years it's in the record high in 1183 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:42,719 Speaker 11: a forty year time span. 1184 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 2: But doesn't this happen over and over again in the 1185 01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:54,360 Speaker 2: history of our planet. Is that there are natural cycles, 1186 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:59,720 Speaker 2: There are solar cycles, and there is there are periods 1187 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 2: of warming, there are periods. 1188 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,120 Speaker 3: Of great cooling, and we have very little effect. 1189 01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 2: I mean, what are the numbers that say human caused 1190 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:15,960 Speaker 2: climate change is a significant contributor to what our temperatures 1191 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,400 Speaker 2: are and what the Earth does. It seems to me 1192 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,800 Speaker 2: like things like the Great Barrier Reef that you just referenced, 1193 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 2: which is now a record high in production, is that 1194 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 2: this is a cycle that has occurred over time, over 1195 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:32,000 Speaker 2: and over and over again. 1196 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:36,080 Speaker 6: Right, that's absolutely correct. 1197 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 11: And in fact, you see that in the temperature in 1198 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:44,240 Speaker 11: this coral reef cover data records from going forty years back. 1199 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 6: You see that it fluctuates. 1200 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 11: It oscillates around different values, and now it so happens 1201 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 11: that it's gone up. 1202 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:54,240 Speaker 6: And there's a certain reason for that. 1203 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,679 Speaker 11: A good reason for that because corals actually like warmer weather. 1204 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 11: They thrive in higher temperatures. They grow faster and higher temperatures, 1205 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,519 Speaker 11: and that's also what we see in the Great Barrier Reef. 1206 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 11: The warmer areas of the Great Barrier Reef, an area 1207 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 11: of around one hundred and thirty thousand square miles. The 1208 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,479 Speaker 11: growth rates are faster in the warmer areas and slower in. 1209 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 6: The colder areas. And the temperature. 1210 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 11: Of the planet of planet Earth indeed does vary on 1211 01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,920 Speaker 11: its own, independently of what humans are doing, and there's 1212 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 11: no evidence that the warming over the past forty five 1213 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:41,879 Speaker 11: or fifty years, or even two hundred years has anything 1214 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 11: to do with the or anything any thing meaningful to 1215 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 11: do with the amount of CO two that we are 1216 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 11: putting into the atmosphere through the burden of fossil fuels. 1217 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 11: There are many other factors that dominate control over planetary 1218 01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:02,599 Speaker 11: temperatures of Earth, mainly water, vapor clouds, the amount of 1219 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 11: heat that's put the positives into the atmosphere from various 1220 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 11: ocean cycles like Almino and other ocean cycle processes. All 1221 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 11: of these factors play a much much larger role in 1222 01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,560 Speaker 11: controlling or regulating or changing the temperatures of the planet 1223 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,519 Speaker 11: then we do through burning fossil fields. 1224 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,679 Speaker 2: We keep hearing from all these loud, shrill voices around 1225 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 2: us that are promoting this man made climate change, that 1226 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:37,440 Speaker 2: hurricanes and tornadoes and weather is becoming more and more extreme. 1227 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:41,559 Speaker 3: What does the actual data show on that. 1228 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,320 Speaker 11: The actual data shows that to the extent that we 1229 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:50,679 Speaker 11: have data on this, from say satellite records, or from 1230 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:55,160 Speaker 11: counts or measures of the intensity of hurricanes. Going back 1231 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 11: one hundred years, we find that the data actually shows 1232 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:05,160 Speaker 11: that there's been no real discernible change in hurricanes or tornadoes, 1233 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 11: or tropical storms or anything like that. And this is 1234 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 11: even admitted, by the way, by the National Ocean and 1235 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:18,560 Speaker 11: Atmospheric Administration during the Vibing Administration on their own website, 1236 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 11: they do a detailed study of how hurricane number and 1237 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 11: intensity has changed going back one hundred plus years, and 1238 01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,599 Speaker 11: they conclude that there is no evidence of any increase 1239 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:36,719 Speaker 11: in hurricane activity or in the hurricane intensity over this time. 1240 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,559 Speaker 2: Spin we're talking to Minelli Derek Shawnee from the CO 1241 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 2: two Coalition. Now, I've heard in previous discussions with doctor 1242 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 2: Wrightstone and others that we actually have a period of 1243 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 2: greening going on across the globe, that crop production is 1244 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 2: up in many cases, and that the planet is becoming greener. 1245 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 2: Which I don't see that as I don't see that 1246 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:08,799 Speaker 2: as something that bodes ill for the ecosystem or the Earth, 1247 01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,400 Speaker 2: do you, guys, I mean, what have you found. 1248 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:12,960 Speaker 3: Out about that? 1249 01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 11: Indeed the planet has been greening. The amount of vegetation, 1250 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 11: plant life, trees, globally, cover of vegetation has been going 1251 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,799 Speaker 11: up substantially over the past forty plus years as measured 1252 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 11: by satellites and even NASA amidst this, that this has 1253 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:39,679 Speaker 11: been happening, and that predominantly this is because humans are 1254 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 11: increasing the concentration of CO two in the atmosphere. 1255 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 6: Through the burning of fossil fields. 1256 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 11: More vegetation, more plant life means there's more food that 1257 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,839 Speaker 11: can be grown. There's more farmable land on the planet. 1258 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 11: Places that couldn't be farmed before now can be. They 1259 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:02,479 Speaker 11: can produce agriculture there, And in general, there's nothing wrong 1260 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,080 Speaker 11: with having a greener planet. 1261 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 6: It's actually a good thing. 1262 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 11: There's no reason to think that that produces any sort 1263 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 11: of harm to human well being or for that matter, 1264 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 11: to animal well being. If anything, it helps the animals too, 1265 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 11: because they have a plenty more food to eat. 1266 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:22,360 Speaker 2: But isn't it also true that the warming that has 1267 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:27,000 Speaker 2: been occurring, say during the last two hundred years or whatever, 1268 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,760 Speaker 2: has been very gradual and not drastic. Some of their 1269 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,640 Speaker 2: computer modeling, and I say there, I'm talking about the 1270 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 2: other side of this issue, has told them that we'd 1271 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,800 Speaker 2: have a three point five person I don't know, I 1272 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 2: don't know the exact numbers on it, but they projected 1273 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 2: the temperatures to be warming much more than they have been, 1274 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,559 Speaker 2: and their predictions have always been wrong because they're based 1275 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 2: on bad computer modeling. 1276 01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,799 Speaker 3: What have you guys found for your own. 1277 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 11: Data, Well, we've found the very same thing. That the 1278 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 11: computer models overwhelmingly do not correctly describe past changes in 1279 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 11: global temperature, and nor do they predict future changes in 1280 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 11: global temperature accurately at all. And a big part of 1281 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:26,280 Speaker 11: the reason for this is because these models they assume that, 1282 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 11: in addition to carbon dioxide warming the planet, they assume 1283 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:36,639 Speaker 11: that water in the atmosphere significantly enhances the warming from 1284 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 11: CO two in the atmosphere. And when we compare that 1285 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,880 Speaker 11: assumption and the predictions of these models to data from 1286 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:48,599 Speaker 11: satellite measurements of the temperature of the lower atmosphere, from 1287 01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 11: weather balloon measurements is the temperature of the lower atmosphere, 1288 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,160 Speaker 11: and other data sets, we find that the actual rate 1289 01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,879 Speaker 11: of warming is much slower than what these models predict. 1290 01:19:58,680 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 6: And these models, also, by. 1291 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 11: The way, don't even accurately model or account for the 1292 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 11: influence of internal variations of the climate, like due to 1293 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 11: ocean cycles that I mentioned earlier, nor nor. 1294 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,640 Speaker 6: The influence of water in the atmosphere. 1295 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,679 Speaker 11: So these models are essentially scientifically, I would say, useless 1296 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 11: for the purpose of explaining temperature changes globally or even 1297 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:28,679 Speaker 11: predicting temperature changes globally. 1298 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,360 Speaker 6: Well, exactly how science should be done. 1299 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 2: No, there's a difference between science and actual facts that 1300 01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:42,400 Speaker 2: you can document and predictions that aren't based in science. 1301 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:47,440 Speaker 2: And it doesn't relate to your work, the CO two coalition. 1302 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 2: But it's the same thing. I remember post COVID what 1303 01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:58,040 Speaker 2: Fauci said. He said about the about the six foot rule. Well, 1304 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:00,880 Speaker 2: you know, after they were preaching it was science. It 1305 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,959 Speaker 2: was science. You had to have six feet of separation 1306 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 2: to stay safe from the virus. When they said, Brian, 1307 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 2: he said later, that's just something we kind of decided on. 1308 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 2: We just kind of made it up and put it 1309 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 2: out there as science. It's the same thing in many 1310 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 2: cases with these climate mafia people, is it not. 1311 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,439 Speaker 6: It's exactly the same thing. 1312 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:29,879 Speaker 11: For example, this IPCCUN proclamation that we have to avoid 1313 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,200 Speaker 11: one more degree celsius of warming or two more degrees 1314 01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 11: celsius of warming otherwise something catastrophically bad will happen to 1315 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 11: the human race. That's completely made up. In the same 1316 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 11: way that the Fauci six foot separation thing is it 1317 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,759 Speaker 11: has no scientific basis whatsoever, and yet it's a complete 1318 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:54,000 Speaker 11: application for political purposes to scare the public into accepting 1319 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 11: all of these drastic totalitarian controls on our economies, on 1320 01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,120 Speaker 11: our lives, and so on. 1321 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 2: Well, there's someone who's been involved with science all their lives, 1322 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 2: which I'm assuming you have, you know that science is 1323 01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 2: not consensus, like we talked about earlier. And you also 1324 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:21,479 Speaker 2: know that whoever's paying for the study will get the 1325 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:28,080 Speaker 2: results that they want with sometimes very shoddy information and 1326 01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 2: data to back it up. 1327 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 6: Right, That's exactly right. 1328 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 11: And in the case of climate science, it became heavily 1329 01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,720 Speaker 11: politicized in the nineteen eighties by Al Gore, the Democrats 1330 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 11: and activists. Climate scientists like James Hansen and even Carl 1331 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 11: Sagan is guilty of contributing to this, and ever since 1332 01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:55,680 Speaker 11: it became politicized government funding for climate science research as 1333 01:22:55,760 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 11: long as it promotes the narrative that man made CO 1334 01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:06,799 Speaker 11: two emissions are causing catastrophic global warming. As long as 1335 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 11: the research supports that narrative, they get tons of funding, 1336 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 11: millions and millions of dollars in government funding. So when 1337 01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 11: you have a politicized science like this. Of course, much 1338 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 11: of the science is going to say a lot of 1339 01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,599 Speaker 11: this propaganda, and it's not going to be about searching 1340 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 11: for the truth. It's going to be about saying what 1341 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 11: the ex saying the narrative that is going to lead 1342 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,519 Speaker 11: to more funding and the thay, that's what we've been 1343 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 11: seeing for the last forty something years. 1344 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 2: Sure, it's all about the Benny's all about the Benjamins. 1345 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 2: And well, I really appreciate your time.

To say 1351 01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 2: something is set the science is set is a misnomer 1352 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 2: as well. So if you would please, mister Derek Shannie, 1353 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 2: give us a give us a hint on where we 1354 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 2: can find out more. 1355 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,040 Speaker 11: I would encourage everyone to visit our website CO two 1356 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:27,680 Speaker 11: Coalition dot org so COO number two Coalition all one 1357 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:31,719 Speaker 11: word dot org, and there you can find information about 1358 01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 11: our organization, information about myself, information about the founders, the 1359 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 11: Board of directors and also all of our scientific and 1360 01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 11: non scientific publications. 1361 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 1362 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 6: Of course, welcome feedback from your audience. 1363 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, and I encourage everyone to go. 1364 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:56,719 Speaker 2: It's a wonderful website and there's so much real information there.

Hang on, and I think we're about ready 1372 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:18,840 Speaker 2: to light the candle and I'll let him blow. It's 1373 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 2: it's time to finish this nightcap with the wild Man. 1374 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,640 Speaker 2: Wild Man, Walker is back for another bite at the 1375 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,040 Speaker 2: apple if he's done chewing his bacon. 1376 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 3: Wild Man, what's going on? 1377 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 12: Man, I'm just chilling. 1378 01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:33,479 Speaker 9: Man. 1379 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 12: You know, I'm happy about the UC Bearcats. I'm happy 1380 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 12: about the Bengals. With that big win over the Steelers, 1381 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 12: all is good. 1382 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah that let's let's dissect that big 1383 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 2: win over the Steelers. Now five days, hence we've had 1384 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 2: plenty of time to hear all the other pundits talk 1385 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,640 Speaker 2: about what went on or what didn't go on in 1386 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 2: the game and how Joe Flacca is now going to 1387 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 2: lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl. I've heard enough 1388 01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:04,640 Speaker 2: of that nonsense. But what what happened right? And what 1389 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 2: are the Bengals still need to work on? 1390 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 3: Wild Man? 1391 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 12: What happened right? They were able to run the ball, 1392 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 12: you know, and anybody knows anything about football, it's elementary. 1393 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 12: Do you run the football sets up the past. The 1394 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,679 Speaker 12: offensive line has done a good job in the last 1395 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:21,120 Speaker 12: two games opening up holes for Chase Brown, so that's 1396 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 12: a good thing. They had a record day. I mean, 1397 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 12: they were like dead last in the NFL and rushing. 1398 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 6: But I believe they had over one. 1399 01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,799 Speaker 12: Hundred plus yards in that game. And then also protected 1400 01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 12: Joe Flacco, who gets the ball out quick. And hey, 1401 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 12: when you got a guy like Jamar Chase and you 1402 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 12: got a guy like t Higgins, get th ou of 1403 01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,720 Speaker 12: those guys and they can't cover both of them, you know, 1404 01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 12: at the same time they try. 1405 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:44,960 Speaker 3: That's why you have. 1406 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 12: Jose of this, and you got a fans you to 1407 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,360 Speaker 12: throw those guys, and then Joe Flacco was smart enough 1408 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 12: to do that, and you just mentioned about Joe Flacco 1409 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,000 Speaker 12: leading the Bengals to the Super Bowl, and I've read 1410 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,840 Speaker 12: a bunch of nonsense to a Joe and you still 1411 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 12: got the talking heads and they have no idea what 1412 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 12: a turftow injury is about. Joe Burrow could be back 1413 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,760 Speaker 12: in the summer. Joe Burrow is not going to take 1414 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 12: one snap of the rest of the way. It's not 1415 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,320 Speaker 12: going to happen. It's not going to happen. That injury 1416 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 12: is too severe. That's why Dion Sanders had to retire. 1417 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 12: But let's say Joe Flacco gets us to the playoffs. 1418 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,519 Speaker 12: You ride Joe Flacco. Go back and look at the 1419 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,559 Speaker 12: history of Earl Morrile, who led the Baltimore Coltch to 1420 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 12: the NFL championship before they played the Jets. 1421 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:28,680 Speaker 5: He replaced Johnny. 1422 01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:31,040 Speaker 12: Unitas and he also did the same thing in Miami 1423 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,839 Speaker 12: in seventy two, replacing Bob Greasy and getting into the playoffs, 1424 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:36,240 Speaker 12: and then he put Greasey. 1425 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 6: In, who was healthy. 1426 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 12: I mean, Johnny U was pretty much a shell of themself. 1427 01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,280 Speaker 12: So Joe Flacco is more than capable, but it takes 1428 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 12: a whole team to do it, you know, do what 1429 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:48,160 Speaker 12: we hope they can do. Now, what's the band side. 1430 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 12: Ben will still have a hard problem tackling and also 1431 01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,720 Speaker 12: stopping to run. I mean they still have a hard 1432 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 12: time stopping the run. And there's some of their tackling 1433 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,280 Speaker 12: is like, oh my god. Do they teach these guys 1434 01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:00,680 Speaker 12: how to tackle in high school? Do they teach him 1435 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 12: at Pop Warner? I mean, they get to the NFL, 1436 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 12: you should learn how to tackle. I'll go back to 1437 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,680 Speaker 12: the old thing that Pete Rose used to say. If 1438 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,680 Speaker 12: I have to teach you how to bunt, then you 1439 01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 12: don't belong in the major leagues. And that's the why 1440 01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:13,840 Speaker 12: I look at it this way. You should know how 1441 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:14,479 Speaker 12: to tackle. 1442 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 2: I agree, you know, And that is one of the 1443 01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:21,120 Speaker 2: most frustrating things about watching the Cincinnati Bengals over the 1444 01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 2: last well gosh, as long as I can remember, they've 1445 01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 2: had a hard problem getting guys who can wrap a 1446 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,880 Speaker 2: guy up and bring him down. And there are a 1447 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 2: lot of powerful backs that the Bengals have played and 1448 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 2: will play the rest of the season. You mentioned the 1449 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 2: running game last Thursday night. The Bengals went from two 1450 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 2: point seven yards to carry I think to six point 1451 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:52,880 Speaker 2: one in that game, which enabled Joe Flacco to do 1452 01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,639 Speaker 2: those chunk play passes and Lamar Chase, I mean, Jamar 1453 01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 2: Chase look had broke a Bengals record sixteen receptions. No 1454 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:05,120 Speaker 2: Bengals receiver has ever had sixteen receptions in a game. 1455 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 12: And I run, I run out of words, Gary Jeff 1456 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 12: for Jamar Chase. How great that guy is? I mean 1457 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:15,280 Speaker 12: we may be looking, but the greatest Bengal ever. I mean, 1458 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 12: there's an argument there down the road here and there, 1459 01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,640 Speaker 12: but right now, Jamar Chase, it's unreal the stuff that 1460 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 12: he can do. And you know, not only does he 1461 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,960 Speaker 12: catch the passes, but he breaks the tackles. And once 1462 01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 12: he breaks that tackle, if you don't get him down 1463 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 12: the first time, he's gone. 1464 01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,280 Speaker 2: And plus because he is so good and directs so 1465 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,639 Speaker 2: much that the other team's focus on him, it opens up. 1466 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:38,720 Speaker 3: The drawer for t Higgins. 1467 01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:43,479 Speaker 2: T Higgins and Josevac and Fant and anybody else who's 1468 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,600 Speaker 2: you know, able to catch a ball. For the Bengals 1469 01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,080 Speaker 2: that you know what, they have lots of room to 1470 01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,639 Speaker 2: move if everybody is going to focus on Number one 1471 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:54,719 Speaker 2: the whole game. 1472 01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 12: Now, I'll be honest with you. I'll be honest with 1473 01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:58,880 Speaker 12: you. You know that man went back and forth, and it 1474 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 12: was it was really a game the ages, I mean 1475 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,479 Speaker 12: people people that went to the game, after people. 1476 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 6: It was. 1477 01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 12: It was when money Back went to kick the field goal. 1478 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 3: I really didn't want to. 1479 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 12: Watch because I remember last year he missed a couple 1480 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,600 Speaker 12: of them and it cost us the game. But he 1481 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:17,519 Speaker 12: was so far this year he's really been, he's been. 1482 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 3: He's been back a wild man. 1483 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,559 Speaker 2: It was one of those moments where you see the 1484 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,240 Speaker 2: guy with a hand over his face and he just 1485 01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:28,000 Speaker 2: opens up his fingers a little bit so I can 1486 01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:32,400 Speaker 2: peek out of one eye to say God please, you know. 1487 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:34,360 Speaker 12: And then of course, and then Rogers at the end, 1488 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 12: because knowing has reputation, you know in Hail Mary games. 1489 01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,160 Speaker 12: He gets enough time to flink in seventy yards and 1490 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,880 Speaker 12: the ball's sailing and you're thinking, oh no, and our 1491 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 12: guys are smart enough. I think it was Jordan that 1492 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,360 Speaker 12: got him and knock the ball down. Don't try to 1493 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:48,479 Speaker 12: catch it, knock it down. 1494 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:49,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 1495 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 2: I mean it was a storybook kind of ending, and 1496 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 2: the wide out at Bay Corps and the whole thing 1497 01:30:56,320 --> 01:31:00,559 Speaker 2: very very raucous. The crowd was into it. I'm at home, 1498 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 2: I'm into it. Uh And Obviously the Bengals were into 1499 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,600 Speaker 2: it enough to beat a division rival. You know what 1500 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,240 Speaker 2: they haven't They haven't lost a game in the Division 1501 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 2: two and oh in the Vision. Now they got the 1502 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,439 Speaker 2: Jets coming to town and they absolutely stink oh and seven. 1503 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:18,760 Speaker 2: I don't know how long they'll stay with their head 1504 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,360 Speaker 2: coach there. You can't look past the Jets because you 1505 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,880 Speaker 2: know the old saying on any given Sunday. But the 1506 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,680 Speaker 2: Bengals are going to be well rested, and now they're 1507 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:27,840 Speaker 2: going to stick it to the Jets. 1508 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,400 Speaker 12: And then you bring the Bears in here. The Bears 1509 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,719 Speaker 12: are not too bad and they can beat the Bears. 1510 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 12: They go into the bye week with a three game 1511 01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 12: winning streak and I a lot of people will be 1512 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:37,840 Speaker 12: really happy around here. 1513 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 3: So do Thursday game turn you around on the Bengals season? 1514 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 12: No, not yet, No, no, because there's still there's still 1515 01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:49,960 Speaker 12: some there's still some problems there, consistency, especially, you know, 1516 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,439 Speaker 12: I want to see the old line just continue to 1517 01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:55,720 Speaker 12: do what they did, whatever they've done to correct things, Uh, 1518 01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,719 Speaker 12: continue to go. They put a new player in there, 1519 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:00,559 Speaker 12: and you know you mentioned about tax and they took 1520 01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 12: Brett out of there, out of the lineup. And set 1521 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:05,760 Speaker 12: him on the bench because this tackle, he couldn't tackle me. 1522 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:09,680 Speaker 3: Well, you're a lot slower than you used to be, 1523 01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:10,639 Speaker 3: wild Man. 1524 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 12: But still he still can't tackle me. He's terrible at tackling, terrible. 1525 01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,200 Speaker 12: And I was I wasn't surprised that Taylor Bread was 1526 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:18,919 Speaker 12: on the sidelines. 1527 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 2: It's hard to get your hands around the wild Man 1528 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,519 Speaker 2: and his scooter. You got to give him that. That's right, 1529 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 2: that's right, all right. So that being said, you have 1530 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:35,760 Speaker 2: these two games you talked about. The Bengals are at home, 1531 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:40,920 Speaker 2: they're playing the Jets, They're playing the Bears, and if 1532 01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,639 Speaker 2: they won both, if they won both games, they're above 1533 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 2: five hundred. Now when a lot of people like me 1534 01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,400 Speaker 2: gave up on the season completely. 1535 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,160 Speaker 12: Because yes, five and four and going into the bye week, 1536 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:54,680 Speaker 12: and then the next game after that is the uh 1537 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,960 Speaker 12: is that Pittsburgh And the game after that is back 1538 01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,760 Speaker 12: home against New England and who are who are very 1539 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,799 Speaker 12: good team with a coach that knows how to do things. 1540 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 12: But let's not put the car before the horse. Let's 1541 01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,280 Speaker 12: win this game on Sunday. There's no doubt, there is 1542 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,360 Speaker 12: no doubt in my mind, the Bengals will beat the chests, 1543 01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,920 Speaker 12: whether they cover, who knows. I don't bet the Bengals. 1544 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:14,840 Speaker 12: I refuse to bet the Bengals because when I do, 1545 01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 12: I get burned every time. But the Bengals will beat 1546 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:18,160 Speaker 12: the Chats on Sunday. 1547 01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:23,080 Speaker 2: Do you think do you think that the coach of 1548 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,120 Speaker 2: the Dolphins will still be with Miami when they face 1549 01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:27,639 Speaker 2: the Bengals later this season? 1550 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,280 Speaker 12: Daniel, Yeah, that's the four hundred and fifty thousand dollars question. 1551 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 12: That guy looks like a homeless guy the way he dresses. 1552 01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 12: People talk about me and me my T shirt and shorts. 1553 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 6: That guy, you don't have them go coaching. 1554 01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 12: He looks like he's homeless. 1555 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,680 Speaker 2: I mean, Belichick used to wear the hoodie and won 1556 01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:46,920 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, So you can't really base yourself on how 1557 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 2: the coach dresses. But and that's the other problem the 1558 01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Bengals have. Zach Taylor is still the head coach, so 1559 01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:53,760 Speaker 2: you know. 1560 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,640 Speaker 12: Well, and the game said, Zach Taylor just needs you know, 1561 01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,920 Speaker 12: just don't try to get cute. Just continue to coach 1562 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 12: way he's been coaching. And don't try to get too cute, 1563 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:04,680 Speaker 12: because I mean to start getting r too cute, get 1564 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:07,320 Speaker 12: too cute, you end up losing, just you know, just 1565 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,719 Speaker 12: go with what's getting you there, don't you know, don't deviate, 1566 01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 12: don't change horses in midstream. You've heard that line before 1567 01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:14,800 Speaker 12: and that you know and that that applies to a 1568 01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,280 Speaker 12: lot of things in life. But you know, to stay 1569 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:19,000 Speaker 12: with what you got, man, you know, stay with what 1570 01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 12: you got. 1571 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 2: What you got there is Showy O Tani, the new 1572 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,200 Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson, the new mister October wild Man. 1573 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 12: Oh well, Shoe Atani is you know, is in a 1574 01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:32,040 Speaker 12: world of his own. But I'm really heat right now. 1575 01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,680 Speaker 12: I don't know if he's the best player in baseball 1576 01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,560 Speaker 12: because he doesn't play a position. Okay, he's a designated 1577 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,160 Speaker 12: hitter and he's a picture now and man, he doesn't 1578 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:44,760 Speaker 12: play a position. And I've heard people say, well, he's 1579 01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:47,800 Speaker 12: the greatest player ever when he when he retires with 1580 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 12: a lifetime battan average above three forty two, the you 1581 01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:54,040 Speaker 12: come call me, okay, because that's Babe Bruce lifetime battan 1582 01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:57,840 Speaker 12: average three forty two, seven hundred and fourteen home runs, 1583 01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,920 Speaker 12: fifteen World Series home runs. I mean, guys, save the game. 1584 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 5: There. 1585 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 12: You know, there's an old black Sparky Anderson. And to 1586 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,200 Speaker 12: ask me about Thurmont Months and a Johnny Bench. He said, 1587 01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:11,200 Speaker 12: don't embarrassed, sermon monson trying to compare him to Johnny Bench. 1588 01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:16,720 Speaker 12: And this is the same thing, to embarrass uh Shoani 1589 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,280 Speaker 12: trying to compare him to Babe Us is the police, 1590 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:20,800 Speaker 12: the police wild man. 1591 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 2: Here's the thing that I've always thought, and it drives 1592 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:29,320 Speaker 2: me nuts every every time somebody puts these superlatives on players, 1593 01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,360 Speaker 2: any player from any era, they're the best ever there. 1594 01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 2: The goat is that in every era the game is 1595 01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:41,679 Speaker 2: is different. It's it's it's similar, but it's different. There 1596 01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:45,799 Speaker 2: are different challenges, there are different factors that go into 1597 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,959 Speaker 2: determining who's who's really good. 1598 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 3: At any one given time. 1599 01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:54,320 Speaker 2: I mean, did you ever imagine that the major league average, 1600 01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:59,719 Speaker 2: major league batting average would be accepted at like two 1601 01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:01,000 Speaker 2: four and. 1602 01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 12: That's I think it's more like two sixty. But still 1603 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,200 Speaker 12: that's pathetic, I know, I know. 1604 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 2: So you know, it's like the comparisons with Lebron James 1605 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,760 Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is still the goat. He's 1606 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:18,640 Speaker 2: still the greatest of all time. You and I were 1607 01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:23,360 Speaker 2: talking about this, uh before tonight, and here's the thing. 1608 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:27,800 Speaker 2: This is a it's nothing to diminish Lebron James. You know, 1609 01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,800 Speaker 2: he'd be he'd be a good sixth or seventh man 1610 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,120 Speaker 2: on my my team of all time NBA Greats. But 1611 01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:36,840 Speaker 2: he's not going to surpass Michael. He's not going to 1612 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:41,719 Speaker 2: surpass Mike, Magic Johnson or Larry Bird. You know, there's 1613 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:49,360 Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant, There's Shack I mean, Will Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, 1614 01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:54,200 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, Oscar Robertson. Lebron James is 1615 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:59,400 Speaker 2: Jarry West. Lebron James is this generation's goat, but he's 1616 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 2: not the He's not the greatest of all time. And 1617 01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:07,760 Speaker 2: the reason, the reason that Michael Jordan will always be 1618 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:12,080 Speaker 2: better than Lebron James in my mind, is because he 1619 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 2: truly made the players around him better better every single 1620 01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,879 Speaker 2: from Scottie Pippen to Dennis Rodman. 1621 01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 3: To think, think yeah, think about this, Think about the centers. 1622 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,920 Speaker 2: Think about the centers that Michael Jordan won NBA Championships. 1623 01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 5: Win. 1624 01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 2: Bill Cartwright was playing on one knee and it was Arthritick. 1625 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 2: Will Purdue couldn't walk and Chew Gum as a sophomore 1626 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt became uh a seven time NBA championship winner 1627 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,760 Speaker 2: because he or or five times. He won with the 1628 01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 2: Spurs too. But he had a great cast there. But 1629 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,519 Speaker 2: but Michael Jordan made every player around him better, And 1630 01:37:56,600 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 2: I can't say that about Lebron James on select teams 1631 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:01,519 Speaker 2: that Lebron was on. 1632 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:02,439 Speaker 3: That's it. 1633 01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:04,880 Speaker 12: Who's your all time who's your all time starting five 1634 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,040 Speaker 12: in the NBA? Do you have an all time starting five? 1635 01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 2: Two MJ's Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, I've got maybe it's 1636 01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:19,760 Speaker 2: a toss up between Wilt and Kareem at center. It 1637 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 2: just is I got Shaq coming off the bench at 1638 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:29,960 Speaker 2: the at the center position. And I'm I might have 1639 01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:32,600 Speaker 2: Lebron in the lineup to start, but he might be 1640 01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:37,240 Speaker 2: coming off the bench. Kobe Bryant definitely, uh and uh 1641 01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,920 Speaker 2: Oscar Robertson you've got to put maybe you put Oscar 1642 01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:40,920 Speaker 2: in as the coach. 1643 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:43,920 Speaker 12: Well, you got your two bars and you got your center. 1644 01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,879 Speaker 12: Who's your two forwards? 1645 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 3: It's an excellent question. I'm talking about Larry Bird. 1646 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:54,280 Speaker 12: I think Burt's gotta be in there, no doubt. 1647 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,559 Speaker 2: You know, and and maybe I don't know, maybe Carl 1648 01:38:56,600 --> 01:39:00,680 Speaker 2: Malone and and not not Jimmy Kimmel dressed up as 1649 01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,880 Speaker 2: Curl Malone, the actual, the actual Caarl Malone.
