Adam, And we kind of kind of 69 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: thumbnail covered it the last time you were on. But 70 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: why do you feel like this is an important book 71 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: for any parent to have in their possession and to 72 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: have this information in dealing with the realities of the 73 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: technology you today? 74 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I appreciate the question, and I will put 75 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: it this way. I think the conversation that parents need 76 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: to be having with their kids today like before any others. Frankly, 77 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: I think there's this conversation about AI and what it 78 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: means for their future. So, I mean, I've got a 79 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: ten year old daughter and I've got a seven year 80 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: old son. You know, I looked at them one day 81 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: and I thought, well, as a parent, what do I 82 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: tell them in ten years? Do I say, Hey, kids, 83 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: go to college, you know, get a four year degree, 84 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: go work for a fortune. Five hundred company for thirty 85 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: years and don't worry, your rop IRA and social Security 86 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: will be there for you at the end of the day. 87 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: You know, it occurred to me that that world is 88 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: frankly dead and gone and buried. And you've now got 89 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: companies that are replacing jobs with robots, and you've got 90 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: companies that are shying away from humans in preference of 91 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: AI tools, and these are going to be real major 92 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: issues that this next generation and the Gen Z generation 93 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: who's out there now, so there's years are the kids 94 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: who are around twentieth year or so, and you know 95 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: the alphas are you know, the age of my kids 96 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: now the newborns call them the ten or so years 97 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: old And uh, I mean it's I think that if 98 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: a parent is not sitting down, you know, just hoping 99 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: hoping that this that this passes em buyer, they think 100 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: they can keep their head in the sand, you know, 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: if they're not willing to sit down and have these 102 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: very challenging conversations with their kids about like, Okay, what 103 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: does the future look like for us as a family. 104 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: You know, how am I going to teach my kids 105 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: to to be able to stay relevant, stay solvent financially solvent, mentally. 106 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: Healthy, and all these other things. 107 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: So I looked at that and I said, well, I 108 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: think I think the answers to these things, and I 109 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: tend to view the world through a Christian lenz and 110 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: so I said, I think the answers to these things 111 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: kind of tend to go back to more timeless principles 112 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: like faith, freedom, fitness, family, you know, foundational principles. 113 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 114 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: And then one of the bigger things I harp on 115 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: with my kids all the time is I tell them, 116 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: you guys are growing up in a world where you 117 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: cannot afford to be a liar. So not necessarily even 118 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: because your dad doesn't want you to be a liar, 119 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: or it's you know, you know wrong, or for moral 120 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: reasons or whatever. I said, you cannot be a liar 121 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: because people in your time, when your adults, will crave 122 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: truth so much, because the world is completely you know, 123 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: meant to pull the wool over their eyes and see them. 124 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at everything now we have 125 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: from you know, the competitive advertising, the government bureaucracies constantly 126 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: lie too, I mean, endless conspiracy theories which all turn 127 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: out to be true, you know. I mean, it's how 128 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: do you discern truth, and how do you teach your 129 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: children how to discern truth and understand fact from fiction? 130 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: And so I, you know, to go into some of 131 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: the some of the practical stuff. I'm hey, you know 132 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: your dad was CIA. I can tell you what to 133 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: look for. Here's what the lies, Here's what the mapulation, 134 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: here's here's how you can tell when you're being targeted 135 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: or deceived or manipulated. And so I go into some 136 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: it's it's really a series of practical field guide type 137 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: letters from a concerned father to his kids in the 138 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: next generation, saying, you know, these are the things you're 139 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: going to have to deal with. So let's get ahead 140 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: of this now, because we can't just keep our head 141 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: in the sand and expect it. You know, it's not 142 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: going to become reality, because it's already here today. 143 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I think there is a growing skepticism among teenagers any way. 144 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: A recent study by the News Literacy Project revealed that 145 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: eighty four percent eighty four percent of American teenagers between 146 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: the ages of thirteen and eighteen view the news media 147 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: negatively describing it as fake and biased. So there are 148 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: there are kids do have a radar about what's real 149 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: and it's fake, but it's good to inform them to 150 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: be vigilant, as you're doing in the Alpha Blueprint. 151 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: Would you agree with that? 152 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 5: Yeah? 153 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And not only that, I mean, I'm I'm very 154 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: hopeful or for this next for these next two generations, 155 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: both the Ziers and the Alpha kids. I think they're strong. 156 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: I think as a group, their ability to sniff out 157 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: bs is better than really any group probably in history. 158 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: Because like my kids, this was so telling. When my 159 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: daughter was I don't know, three years old or whatever 160 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: it was, and she walked up to the television and 161 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: she started putting her fingers on it, trying to scroll 162 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: scroll the TV, you know, And I'm thinking to myself, 163 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: you know, we live out in the country. Our kids 164 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: don't have a lot of technology, you know. They they 165 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: have an iPad. 166 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: Kind of thing. 167 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but but that's that's really about it. They spend 168 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,239 Speaker 2: a lot of time playing with their friends, playing outdoors, 169 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: playing with the dog, you know, down at the lake, 170 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. 171 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: Supposed to do. 172 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. But but I thought, wow, if even my 173 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: daughter only three years old, already looks at the world 174 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: and what she sees is the scrollable screen and she 175 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: doesn't understand, you know, even even really how to speak 176 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: very much yet at the age of three, but she 177 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: knows technology. And so these kids are, you know, growing 178 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: up on you know, their fluency level with technology is 179 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: far beyond anything that that people our age, you know, 180 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: can can speak to. But what they don't have necessarily 181 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: is the moral fiber, the grit, the character, the worldly experience, 182 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: the good compass and guideposts to send them, you know, 183 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: in the right directions. And that's kind of what the 184 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: book Little More focuses on, is how to build those 185 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: kind of core foundational things in your children. So and 186 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: a lot of it, you know, comes back to common sense, 187 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: good parenting, you know, understanding your place in the world, 188 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: and you know, as it relates to the almighty and 189 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: high purpose here and turn into you know, some of 190 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: the sort of more timeless, ancient principles that are all 191 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: you know, encapsulated in the Big Book. 192 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, I was going to mention Adam that 193 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: my wife and I at church this past Sunday. It's 194 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. It was testimony Sunday, and 195 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: one of the people that got up and talked was 196 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: a local youth leader and he said and he's in 197 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: schools with middle schoolers and high schoolers all the time, 198 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: and he said, it's amazing how many kids are thirsty 199 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: for the gospel, how many kids are going back to church, 200 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: are interested in learning about Jesus and going to church. 201 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: It it really is happening, not only locally, but all 202 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: over the country free. And it's not just a reflex 203 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: response to Charlie Kirk. It has been going on for 204 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: a while. And you've got to be heartened about that, 205 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: because when you want them to be able to distinguish 206 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: between what is real and true and what's fake, there's 207 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: a few better places to find that out than that absolutely. 208 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: Well, you know, and they're so used to being manipulated 209 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: and lied to by the media, buy social media. I mean, 210 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: you know, it's like a good example is my business 211 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: partner recently single was you know, met a girl on 212 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: Instagram or whatever. They went on a date and afterwards 213 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: she was like, man, He's like, I can't do this. 214 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: He's like, because physically this person looks nothing like you know, 215 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: the Instagram profile with all the filters and everything else, 216 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: you know, And I'm like, yeah, I mean I get. 217 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: That's just one small example, though, but when you're constantly, 218 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: you know, when you constantly have that reality shoved at you, 219 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: it makes it so that you can't really trust anything. 220 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: And that's why I tell my kids, you know, you 221 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: don't have the luxury of becoming a liar, because you 222 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: need your kids, your your co cohorts, your colleagues. You know, 223 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: as you grow up, will need to know that you 224 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: are a person of character and backbone that they can 225 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: turn to and rely on, because you guys aren't going 226 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: to have much reality other than physical close human contact 227 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: as your community. 228 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: As an EXCIA operative Adam Hartage, what did you make 229 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: of the six elected lawmakers, all with intelligence and military ties, 230 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: telling troops that they can disobey a commander in chief's 231 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: orders if they find that they are illegal. That, I mean, 232 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: this is classics. See I am manipulation in other countries. 233 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 6: Is it not? 234 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 235 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 5: But well also it's so disingenuous, all of it, because so, 236 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: I mean, these people aren't idiots, and so first of all, 237 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: I found it reprehensible, I feeling it completely unprofessional. 238 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: I found it, uh disgusting and you know, wrong. But 239 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: I mean, these people aren't idiots, and so they use 240 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: words like okay, you know, it's your duty to to uh, 241 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: you know, to refuse an illegal order. Yeah, but then 242 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: they kind of imply that Trump's already giving these illegal orders, 243 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, what is the illegal order? This 244 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: is why you have to unpack all these things. So 245 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: because first off, any military officer or any government oath 246 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: of office officer, so like I was a CIA operations officer, 247 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: there is a federal you know, I take an oath 248 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: of office for that. When I was a military officer, 249 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: I took an oath of office for that. And anyone 250 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: who is an officer in the government knows that they 251 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: has not just the right, but a moral obligation and 252 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: a duty to refuse unlawful illegal orders. Everybody knows that right. 253 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: But what we're doing is so dishonest because they they 254 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: say that, but they're trying to make it seem like 255 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: Trump has already issued all of these illegal orders and 256 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: they're going way outside of you know, Uniform Code of 257 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 2: Military Justice or Title fifty year, Title ten or any 258 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: of the other you know, legalistic stuff. But it's just 259 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: bs and it's designed to manipulate you, pull the wall 260 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: over your eyes and get you going. It's rage bait. 261 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: It's designed to get people going Trump bad, Orange Man bad. 262 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: You know, he's doing illegal things and constitutions under threat. 263 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: All this other stuff. 264 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: It's disingenuous, it's deceitful, and it's frankly reprehensible. I'm so 265 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: tired of the Left constantly putting politics and party over 266 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: duty and you know, the right. I'm just I'm sick 267 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: of it. 268 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, me too. 269 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: The book is The Alpha Blueprint, Preparing the Next Generation 270 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: for an AI Future.

But if you've got somebody on your 314 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: Christmas list first and foremost who was interested in being 315 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: a first time gun owner, or you have a gun 316 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: owner on your list, do you have any recommendations? 317 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: Well, you know, this is a tough one because everybody 318 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: is a little bit different. You know, when I started out, 319 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 2: I started with an LCP three eighty, which was, in 320 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 2: my opinion, not a good gun to carry if you're 321 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: new to carry. There's there's the shield, and there's some 322 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: other smaller, you know, compact nine milimeters guns that are 323 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: usually pretty pretty good. But I hate to do a 324 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 2: recommendation because you know, it depends on how you're gonna 325 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: carry and carry in your waistband, you're gonna carry in 326 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: your ankle, you're gonna carry in your purse. You know, 327 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: a lot of things are different. So I would recommend 328 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: go to your local gun shop. 329 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 4: And just testing out handle them. 330 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, check them out and 331 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: see which ones you like and do you want a 332 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: mechanical safety or not. You know, a lot of different variables, 333 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: so it's hard to really make a recommendation. But there 334 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: are a lot.

Did you see the news story? 357 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: I saw this somewhere on late night news and I 358 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: thought it was a joke at first, but then I 359 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: realized that we're dealing with a country that's barely a 360 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: country anymore, England. This guy was on vacation in the 361 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: United States, this brit and he was in Florida and 362 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: he posted a picture on social media of him holding 363 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: a rifle and he was arrested when he got back 364 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: home for inspiring fear, for holding an illegal firearm. He 365 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: wasn't even in country. He was in the United States. 366 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: And did you hear about this? 367 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah I did. 368 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting if you look at this 369 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: conceptually or you know, ideologically, the Brits they are deadly 370 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 2: afraid of their citizens having firearms because they remember what 371 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: happened in the Revolutionary War. They tried, they tried to 372 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 2: take control, but it was the people over here who decided, no, 373 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: we're not going to let you do it, and we 374 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: kicked their ass. And the reason we did it was 375 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: because we had firearms. So they will do everything they 376 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: can deter positive any positive, you know, thing about about 377 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: firearms or guns or anything. So I'm not surprised that 378 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 2: they did it. I mean, it's it is shocking on 379 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 2: one level. It's like, how the heck are we, where 380 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,239 Speaker 2: do we? How do we do this? This is just 381 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: so controlling and so but over there, I'm not surprised 382 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 2: because they The worst thing that could happen to them 383 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: right now, the government that is, is their people get power, 384 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 2: because what's happening right now is are getting overloaded with 385 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: it with Islam, yes, radical Islamist, and they're taking over 386 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 2: and and they they desperately want their the citizens, the 387 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 2: good people, to be disarmed so they can have more 388 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: control over them. 389 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 3: Uh. 390 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: It's it's turning into a hell hole over there from 391 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 2: what I can see, and it's just a it's a 392 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: sad place when you can't defend yourself. 393 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: It's that unfettered open border kind of mentality. Immigration that's 394 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: been going on in the UK for quite some time now. 395 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: You know, the mayor of London is is is Islamic 396 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: and has you know, talked about Sharia law. 397 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 4: Being the law of the land. 398 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: And you have all these Islamis that are now have 399 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: migrated and they want complete control over the population. And 400 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: you know what, that's that's part of the disarmament move 401 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 1: as you just mentioned. The other part of it is 402 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: that they don't have apparently any kind of protection in 403 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: their own law to keep this from happening, from from 404 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: the government being an absolute answer no matter what the 405 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: people actually want. That's what you get. You know, it 406 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: used to be the monarchy. It used to be the monarchy. 407 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: Now it's parliament that has adopted the same kind of 408 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: We are the kings, we know better than the peasants 409 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: and the serfs, so we will overlord you. And like 410 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: you said, the Islamists have taken charge of that government. 411 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 7: Any thoughts, Well, yeah, I mean that's the way it's 412 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 7: always been. The one thing that they hate is, you know, 413 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 7: people like us who said now I'm not going to 414 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 7: deal with it anymore. You're done, and took took three 415 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 7: percent of the population to to take care of business 416 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 7: and become free, break away, you know, and become free. 417 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 3: They don't want that. 418 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: They love that control. That's that's what that's that's what 419 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: they're all about about. 420 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: Well, and it's the same it's the same thing here 421 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: with people who oppose your right to own and bear firearms. Dan, 422 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: And we've got to be constantly vigilant that we do 423 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: not become that society that we fought a bloody revolutionary 424 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: war to break away from. And it's it's a battle 425 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: that you guys and gun owners of America and the 426 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: rest of us who believe in our constance, in the 427 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: Bill of Rights are fighting every day we. 428 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 3: Have we're fighting. 429 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: We're fighting against fellow citizens, Democrats, liberals, progress as we're 430 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 2: fighting against them. Yeah, they're the ones who are trying 431 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: to take away I write, that's the most astonishing thing. 432 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: It's hard to If I wasn't right in the middle 433 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: of it, it would be I would look at it 434 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: and go, what's wrong here? What are these people crazy? 435 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: They want to give up our freedom and they know 436 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: that we real Americans won't let them, and they hate that. 437 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. In the upcoming governor's 438 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: race you're in New York does does anybody on the 439 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: right does Stephanic, at least Stephanic have a legitimate chance 440 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: to beat Kathy Hogle in this governor's race in twenty 441 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: sixth And what do you. 442 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: Think when I see local doubtlets, local media outlets say. 443 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 3: Local still holds a lead. H They say this a lot. 444 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: And when I when I see that, I recognize it. 445 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: When they were talking about Hillary Clinton in the general 446 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 2: in the general election, they were saying she's still ahead, 447 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: she's still ahead, she's still in what happened. But so 448 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: they need their people to feel good. You remember Democrats 449 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: and the liberals, they need to be coddled, they need 450 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: to be they need to feel good. So they're always 451 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: saying locals in the league. But there's been some polls 452 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: where Stephanic is showing that she's neck and neck. So 453 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: I have a good idea that she Stephani could actually 454 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: take this one because Lee's elden last time around came 455 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: really close. But I I wouldn't put it past the 456 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: New York legislature to to make to do some cheating. 457 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 2: You know that you never trust trusted Democrats when it 458 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: comes to that. But so to summarize, the Democrats are saying, 459 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: the left wing media is saying the hope will still 460 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: in the lead, but there's some polls coming out this 461 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: shows disgusted on. 462 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 6: Neck and neck. 463 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: Well, and this is what happens when you get a 464 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: governor who at first blush in the first allyed what 465 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: wasn't even elected, was just appointed appointed, appointed. 466 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 4: By by Cuomo, and uh then then. 467 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 2: You know she and then let me just have been there. 468 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 3: Gary. 469 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to interrupt you. But then the next time around, 470 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: she she barely won. 471 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 3: And we're talking about a. 472 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 2: Democrat majority here, a supermajority in all, and she barely won, 473 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: but she did have the Democratic machine behind her, which 474 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: is why she she pulled it off the second time. 475 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about that. Well, what's going on with 476 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: the gun laws as we look to the new year? 477 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 3: Dan? 478 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 4: What uh? What battles? 479 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: Are you guys ready to fight to keep people free? 480 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 7: Well, we we want right now. 481 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 2: The HR thirty eight, which is the Constitutional Concealed Carry 482 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: Reciprocity Act. That means you'll be able to take your 483 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: gun regardless of the state you come from, and travel 484 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 2: in and out with your concealed carry gun in any 485 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 2: state right in the nach and you will be bound 486 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: by the same you know, concealed carry restrictions of your state, 487 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: your home state, just like your driver's license. And that's 488 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: what we really want. And you know, people say, well, 489 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: we don't, We shouldn't have a permit at all, and 490 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 2: I totally agree. 491 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: But this is a good. 492 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 2: Step until we can get ourselves to a place where 493 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: we can have constitutional carry, which is what our founding 494 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: fathers always wanted. Constitutional carry. There would be no government 495 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: issue permission slip needed. 496 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Well, I mean they can't even they can't even vote 497 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: to keep the government open. How are they, Oh, you're 498 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: expecting in Congress to pass something that makes so much 499 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: sense when they can't even fully fund themselves with our money. 500 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 4: I don't know. 501 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: You do make it sound ridiculous, I know, but I 502 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: have high hopes. 503 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 4: And the bill again is HR. 504 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: HR thirty eight. 505 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: Keep your eye on that one, Hi. 506 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 4: Just remember thirty eight caliber HR thirty eight. 507 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 3: Yep. 508 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Are they still going crazy trying to impose red flag 509 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: laws across the country? 510 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,479 Speaker 3: Dan? Oh, of course, red flag laws are. 511 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: Red flag laws are something that they would just love 512 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: to have. And I hear Democrats all the time talking 513 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 2: about it. Red flag law is probably the most dangerous 514 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: thing you could you could have because basically it's confiscation 515 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: without due process. And anybody with red flag laws typically 516 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: the accuser can be practically anyone and sometimes anonymous, which 517 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: is scary. So of course they want that. That way, 518 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: they can, you know, say, oh, well, if they don't 519 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 2: get j Walker, he's a he's a risk to society, 520 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: but don't get his guns, and then we'll figure it 521 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: out later. 522 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if they could actually say I'm a 523 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: risk to society. They used to say I was a 524 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: risk to myself, which was probably true. 525 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: What are you. 526 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, what what are you working on right now? 527 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: Right now? Yeah, right now, I'm doing a thing. 528 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm concerned right now with gun free zones, and it's 529 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 2: becoming pretty bad across the country. Different states where you know, 530 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: there's there's laws right now. In New York, for instance, 531 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: there's a law you know, it still says that you 532 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: have to put a sign up to welcome guns rather 533 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 2: than a sign up, you know, to turning them. So 534 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: it's called the vampire rule. We call it the vampire rule, 535 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 2: and it means that in order to bring a gun 536 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: into a publicly a publicly accessed private business, you would 537 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: have to have written permission, in other words, sign on 538 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,479 Speaker 2: the on the business saying the guns are welcome. That's 539 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: that's the vampire rule, you know. Vampires. The theory is 540 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 2: a vampire couldn't come into your home unless you invited 541 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 2: them in. 542 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite, one of my favorite lines 543 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: from the movie Lass Boys. 544 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well exactly, Well that's what they're you know, 545 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: that's what they're trying to do with firearms, and nobody's 546 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: got to put us sign ups saying guns are welcome, 547 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: because if they do, they're they're going to be afraid 548 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 2: of you know, left wingers. You know, you know, uh, 549 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 2: Molotov cocktail in their business. 550 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: Or or you know, right, I said guns were welcome, 551 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: not molotov cocktails. 552 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 4: You commys. 553 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 3: Exactly. 554 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 2: So that's one thing that I'm concerned with right now 555 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: is red flag laws. And you want HR thirty eight, 556 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 2: and we want our d OJ and Pam Bond to 557 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 2: get on board with the removing short barrel rifles, short 558 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: brow shotguns, and silencers from the National Firearms Act because 559 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: ultimately it's a registry. It's a gun registry, and we 560 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: obviously don't want that because once the guns are registered, 561 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 2: and then you have red flag laws, you have the 562 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: access now to confiscate guns and you know exactly where 563 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: they are. So those are two things that really concern 564 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: me right now. 565 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: And the thing is when these red flag laws take 566 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: effect and they compensate your gun, you've got to wage 567 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: a long court battle just to prove that you're not 568 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: a threat to anybody, and so you're out of pocket 569 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: that money paying for a lawyer and going to court, 570 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: and then you still may not get your gun back. 571 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: And you want a little statistic on that, I think 572 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: it's about eighty five percent of the people who get 573 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: caught up in those red flag laws do not fight 574 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 2: it because they who don't have the time or the 575 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: money or the will. 576 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 4: It's a damn shame. All right, Dan Walls, thank you 577 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: so much. 578 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: Good Gunbadguy dot com still a good place to find you. 579 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yep, gunback dot com. 580 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 4: All right, fantastic. 581 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: Danny was Second Amendment hero on the Nightcap back in 582 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: just a moment. It's always nice to have this young 583 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: lady on. We only have really talked to her once before, 584 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: and then I really couldn't talk to her because it 585 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: was election day and she had absolutely lost her voice. 586 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: But she is in full throated glory now. Independent journalist 587 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: Karen Clifford. She covers a lot of things. She covers 588 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: the whole gamut, from politics to natural disasters and emergencies. 589 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: She herself lost so much in the Palisades Park fire 590 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: in California, so she knows of natural disasters and emergencies. 591 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: And she also was a big fan of SAT one, two, three, 592 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: dot com. But Karen is with us now to talk 593 00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: about Informed News Network, which she founded this year. And 594 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: I think it's really laughable that a journalist has to 595 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: have found the Informed News Network because I see so 596 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: many so called journalists every day on TV and elsewhere 597 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: who simply don't act like they know anything. They're not 598 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: informed on anything. They just parent talking points that have 599 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: been sent out by whatever their powers at V are 600 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: Krin Clifford. Welcome to the Nightcap. 601 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 4: How are you? 602 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 8: I am so grateful to be with you today. It 603 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 8: is basically snowing in Washington, DC. It's about thirty degrees 604 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 8: out and it is freezing at the White House yesterday. 605 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 8: My toes FROs, my fingers FROs. So I am so 606 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 8: excited to get the truths to the public because there 607 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 8: is so much uninformed news in the White House Press Corps, 608 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 8: in the Senate Press Corps, and now the Pentagon. The 609 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 8: Pentagon has created a whole new press corps which is 610 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 8: super exciting. Tons of my life friends who are real journalists, 611 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 8: like James O'Keefe and Laura Luma, and they have the 612 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 8: most amazing press corps now with cam Higbee and so 613 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 8: what the Pentagon is doing. I think is super critical 614 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 8: to happen for every agency in Washington, DC because there 615 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 8: is so much fake news. As a matter of fact, 616 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 8: you and I were discussing the fout that the White 617 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 8: House now has a whole website on white House dot 618 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 8: com that exposes the fake news. 619 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, it's about time. 620 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: And you mentioned mister O'Keefe, it's nice to have Project 621 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: Veritas not have to go undercover. Now they can be 622 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: out in the open and actually give people the information 623 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: that most of us want. There was a new study 624 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: out that showed that a majority of young people and 625 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: not voters, but thirteen to eighteen year olds, don't trust 626 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: the news media. I mean a majority of kids just 627 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 1: think that it's all fake and biased. So even they 628 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: know what has been going on in our news media 629 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: in this country, cared. 630 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's what I'm really concerned about because I'm 631 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 8: actually in the White House Press Corp. And yesterday I 632 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 8: actually was confronted by a couple of the fake news journalists. 633 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 8: I don't want to say their names, but the bottom 634 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 8: line is, you know, one of them's with the independence 635 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 8: that the White House is exposing to be fake news, 636 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 8: and you know, they are saying crazy stuff, saying President 637 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 8: Trump is preasoners. They're saying things like, you know, Pete 638 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 8: Headsets doesn't have the right to bomb the drug boats. 639 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 8: I mean, it's getting ridiculous at this point. 640 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 4: These are journalists saying this. 641 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 8: They're saying a lot of fake news, and the Trump 642 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 8: administration is actually beginning to expose them. Yeah, and so 643 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 8: I think that's good for all of us because everyone 644 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 8: who pays their cable bill and they paid for these 645 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 8: news agencies where they paid for these these news memberships. Okay, Politico, 646 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 8: one of my best friends is suing Politico for one 647 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 8: hundred and fifty million dollars because Politico wrote fake news 648 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 8: about him. Another one of my friends is having. 649 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 3: To sue President Trump. Had to sue. 650 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 8: President Trump, had to sue CBS, President Trump had to 651 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 8: sue YouTube. I mean, it's never ending with the fake news. 652 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 8: So where are these news narratives coming from. That's what 653 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 8: I'm concerned about. Potentially a lot of these news nerdalists 654 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 8: and a lot of these news narratives are people who 655 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 8: are real Democrats, people who are real Antifa type liberals, 656 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 8: and or being paid for their news narratives. But I'm 657 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 8: really worried that there's still is CIA mockingbird media because 658 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 8: this is what I'm worried about. I go to all 659 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 8: the press conferences, I'm in the White House pretty much 660 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 8: every day. There's fifty five seats. Who's actually in those 661 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 8: fifty five seats? New media like me, we have to 662 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 8: stand on the sides. So what I'm concerned about is 663 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 8: in those fifty five seats, I rarely see the same 664 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 8: people show up. That's what I'm worried about. So every 665 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 8: time there's a new person in one of these fifty 666 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 8: five seats, that means that there is someone creating their 667 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 8: news narrative and telling them what to say. Their questions 668 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 8: are too calculated. Oh so there is a very dangerous 669 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 8: component to the news and I do believe it. How 670 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 8: to do with the CIA mockingbird media that President Trump 671 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 8: hasn't been able to fire yet. The head of the 672 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 8: CIA requip we haven't fired these people yet, and I 673 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 8: don't know why. 674 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: Well, it's such an entrenched administrative state. I mean, people 675 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: talk about the deep state and the swamp carenn but 676 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: it is real. It has been around entrenched in Washington, 677 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: d C. Unelected bureaucrats and people who want to wield 678 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: that power without any kind of accountability or responsibility to 679 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: the voter, which the Constitution doesn't call for a fourth 680 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: branch of government, but that's exactly what it is, and oftentimes, sadly, 681 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: it is more powerful than the judicial, the legislative, or 682 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: the executive branch. And it's been there entrenched for a 683 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: long long time. You can't root that out in a 684 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: few months time. But President Trump and the White House 685 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: have been absolutely efforting to do that. 686 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 4: I would, I will, that's what we're fighting. 687 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 8: And listen, they have found a way to fund themselves 688 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 8: with government grants. So the real news is that these 689 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 8: news agencies have found ways to cover themselves. Like NPR, PBS, 690 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 8: Political they get government grants. Politico is owned by a 691 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 8: very wealthy globalist in Germany. It's not America. First, it's 692 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 8: not American. They don't care about America. And so we 693 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 8: really need to weed this stuff out, like the Pentagon 694 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 8: has just done in their press corps. 695 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: Well, when the taxpayers of Minnesota give a bill million 696 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: dollars to a terrorist organization in Somalia, you know you 697 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: know that again, that's something that is just now being reported. 698 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: It's been going on de facto. For the entire seven 699 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: years of Tim waltz tenure as governor of Minnesota, there 700 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: have been twenty eight at least twenty eight large fraudulent 701 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: thefts of taxpayer money in the name of charity in 702 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota since he's been governor. 703 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 4: Can you imagine if that man was Vice president. 704 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: I wanted to switch gears Corin and talk about as 705 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: we're talking about the uninformed news network and the people 706 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: who are just parroting narratives for globalist and Marxist means 707 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: in the White House, press corps and elsewhere. This Venezuela 708 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: drug boat hoax that is now going around and you 709 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 1: know something about this, are trying to pit the Secretary 710 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: of War Pete Hegseth against the commander in chief, Donald Trump. 711 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: You can talk to that for a few moments, if 712 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: you would please. 713 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 8: I'm very concerned about that, because that's what these news 714 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 8: media agencies that are fake news potential CIA deep state 715 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 8: potential agencies that are run and funded by foreign governments 716 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 8: that we don't even know where understand, like Politico. Basically, 717 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 8: what they're trying to do is pit President Trump against 718 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 8: his actual cabinet members. Right now, as you and I 719 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 8: are talking, President Trump is having a cabinet meeting. Because 720 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 8: this is what they're trying to do. They try to 721 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 8: get in between President Trump and as cabinet members. They 722 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 8: try to get in between President Trump and his core 723 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 8: base of America first patriots and make them fight with 724 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 8: each other. And you know, they're accusing President Trump of 725 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 8: who knows treason. I mean, this is ridiculous. President Trump 726 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 8: is totally within his legal authority to protect us in 727 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 8: the United States of America, and everything he's doing is 728 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 8: protecting us America first. 729 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 3: Of course. 730 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 8: So I'm very concerned about this, and I'm grateful that 731 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 8: you're letting me talk to you about this because this 732 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 8: is the most in banned and censor news and you know, 733 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 8: a lot of Americans just can't handle this, and so 734 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 8: they just watch the news. It's easy to get to, 735 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 8: but it's really time to pick and choose the news 736 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 8: that you watch, and it's getting few and far between. 737 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 8: I can tell you that the people that I trust 738 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 8: in the news are under twelve, potentially ten people and 739 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 8: it's not the people you would think. So it's and 740 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 8: it changes every month because people are just selling out 741 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 8: and I'm just very concerned. I'm worried that a lot 742 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 8: of the state news is funded by foreign interests, potentially 743 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 8: the Chinese Communist Party. 744 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question that the CCP has a vested 745 00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: interest in infiltrating and in indoctrinate not only the media 746 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: but the American public for their own personal gain and 747 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: their efforts that have gone on now for more than 748 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: one hundred years to be the dominant power on the 749 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: world stage. I wanted to talk to you too about 750 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: what happened sadly Thanksgiving with our National Guardsman Sarah who 751 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: was murdered and her other fellow National Guardsman from West 752 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: Virginia who has been clinging to life in the hospital, 753 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: and this Afghani who was let in by the Biden 754 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: administration in the wake of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and 755 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: the thousands of others who came with him, who the 756 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: CIA says, we're thoroughly vetted, and he had been well 757 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: known to the CIA and helped them for years in Afghanistan, 758 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: so they felt like he was no threat to come 759 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: to America and have a life that maybe he was 760 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: promised by those CIA operatives and this guy, there's no 761 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: way that they could have vetted eighty six thousand people, 762 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: especially coming from Afghanistan. And that's why President Trump has 763 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: been so vigilant and vehement about stopping halting all immigration 764 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: from all of these countries where they don't love America, 765 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: they don't love American or Western values, and they you know, 766 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: the places where there's basically no government whatsoever to even 767 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: tell you who these people are. 768 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 8: Very concerning because I was there actually and I got 769 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 8: stuck in a lockdown. We got locked down at the 770 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 8: White House, and we didn't know what was going on. 771 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 8: And I was fully prepared because let me just tell 772 00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 8: you something, I walk around with a bullet priest pack 773 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 8: and a satellite phone, and I walk around with my 774 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 8: important things like keys and critical credit cards, government IDs 775 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 8: in a Faraday bag. 776 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 6: And that's what's so. 777 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 8: Important, is that I want everyone to go to SAT 778 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,959 Speaker 8: one two three right now, it's SAT one two three. 779 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 8: I want them to go there. And this makes the 780 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 8: best Christmas holiday gifts. And I think it's so important 781 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 8: to buy as much as you can afford to buy, 782 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 8: because everything I get from SAT one two three SAT 783 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 8: one two three dot com I use, and so I 784 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,720 Speaker 8: actually felt safe in this situation I know that sounds crazy. 785 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 8: It was really traumatic and I was there and I 786 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 8: got caught up. They closed everything off, and first they 787 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 8: told me that the two National Guards people were from Alabama, 788 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 8: and they first they told me they were both dead. 789 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 8: So in the beginning I didn't have right information because 790 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 8: the police are known to give us fake information. And 791 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 8: then I couldn't stay there until Cashpetel started telling us 792 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 8: the real information. There was so much conflicting information, which 793 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,760 Speaker 8: I think is really important people understand that. And so now, 794 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 8: of course you know the twenty year old National Guards women, 795 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 8: they're from West Virginia. She has passed. And the other gentlemen. 796 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 8: I don't even like to say his name, but pray 797 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 8: for him in spirit because he's fighting for his life. 798 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 8: I don't think he'll make it. Even if he does 799 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 8: make it, it's a tragedy. But thank you God that no 800 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 8: one else got sot in the soft fire, because since 801 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 8: I have been to the location and the Afghan national 802 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 8: was using some type of a handgun and there were 803 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 8: lots of bullets everywhere. It wasn't just one or two 804 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 8: or three. 805 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 4: Arm was shooting. 806 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: Karin, thank you so much for your time.

And it's a US Bank, so they said. 839 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: And it was even the number that I use to 840 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: contact US Bank, the eight hundred number that came up 841 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: on my phone and said US Bank. So I answered it, 842 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: and the voice on the other end said, good afternoon. 843 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: I said, well, it's even if you were on the 844 00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 1: West coast, it's not afternoon anymore. Okay, who's this? Well 845 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: it's evening, thank you sir, Well, good evening. Then this 846 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 1: is US Bank fraud Security. Do you know someone named 847 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 1: Blah Blah blah in Florida? And did you issue a 848 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars payment to them through your account? 849 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 1: I said no, I don't know anybody in Florida not 850 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 1: with that name. And I didn't. That's not me Okay, well, 851 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: we just want to verify. We need the last four 852 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: digits of your social Security number just to verify. I said, no, 853 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: you're not getting the last four digits of my social 854 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 1: Security number or any other information for me. By that 855 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 1: way over the phone, I did the right thing. 856 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,879 Speaker 3: Right, Dave, you did? 857 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 6: You did, Cary, Jeff, And you know, I've had a 858 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 6: similar type of scenario. I want to come back to yours. 859 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 6: But like in my case, my wife and I are 860 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 6: sitting on the couch. She gets a phone call from 861 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 6: purportedly from USAA, that's who we bank with. There's some 862 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 6: kind of fraud on your account, blah blah, blah blah. 863 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 6: And I'm like, okay, this is some kind of scam. 864 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:05,919 Speaker 3: Hang up. 865 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 6: And you know, then we went and logged into our account, 866 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 6: checked to make sure everything was okay, went ahead and 867 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 6: changed our paths where it just to be safe. But 868 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 6: one of the reasons why this thing is prevalent, right is, 869 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 6: first off, it's really easy to spoof a phone number. 870 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 6: It takes almost zero technical skill to send a text 871 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 6: or make a phone call and make the number that 872 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 6: appears on the recipient's phone any number I want it 873 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 6: to be. You know, the phone system is old. It's 874 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 6: been around for over one hundred years. When it was designed, 875 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 6: it was not designed to stop this sort of spoofing, right, 876 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 6: so it's trivially easy for bad guys to make a 877 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 6: call appear from any number. So you know, my typical 878 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 6: advice is never answer the phone from a number you 879 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 6: don't recognize if it's important to leave a message. But understand, 880 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 6: even if you recognize the number, like in your case, 881 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,879 Speaker 6: it does not mean it's legit, and people really really 882 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 6: need to take that the heart first off. So you know, 883 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,839 Speaker 6: if you see a number come across and it looks 884 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 6: like a familiar number, year you trust it and you 885 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 6: answer the phone, which you know in that case, I 886 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 6: could understand why you would. Then you have got to 887 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 6: be immediately incredibly skeptical understand that in many cases, So 888 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 6: is it random chance that you just happened to get 889 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 6: a call from your bank quote unquote? Maybe you know 890 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 6: in some cases these sorts of phishing attacks. Now, in 891 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,359 Speaker 6: text messages it's called smishing, and in voice calls it's 892 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 6: called fishing, but it's all basically the same idea. I'm 893 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 6: just going to blast stuff out there, right, Some of 894 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 6: these phishing attacks are just random. They're just blasting stuff 895 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,839 Speaker 6: out and you know, hoping that you won't question that 896 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,000 Speaker 6: that's I don't use this bank. Right, but thanks to 897 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 6: all of the giant data leaks and data breaches we've 898 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 6: had over the years, national public data, for example, billions 899 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 6: of records lost. It's a background check company. Think about 900 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 6: the sense of information you put out there in a 901 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 6: background check. Places you've worked, places you've lived, places you've banked, 902 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 6: all kinds of sensitive stuff. Right, So when the hackers 903 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 6: have access to that information, they can know, hey, when 904 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,799 Speaker 6: we send this text or when we make this call 905 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 6: to this Gary Jeff Walker guy, he uses this bank. 906 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 6: This bank's phone number is X. So it is entirely 907 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 6: within the realm of possibility that it's not just random 908 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 6: chance they hit your bank. They're using information that they 909 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 6: have bought, stolen, etc. From all these leaks to target you. 910 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 6: They know you use a certain bank, they know you 911 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 6: use Amazon or whatever. The scam is. Right, So if 912 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,239 Speaker 6: you know that the phone number is easily spoofed, just 913 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,279 Speaker 6: like an email address is easily spoofed, and and you 914 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 6: know they have all this sensitive information so they can 915 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 6: claim to be from bank x oh, and yeah, they 916 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 6: might even know like, well, you bank a branch such 917 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 6: and such. Just because you're talking to someone that seems 918 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 6: to have information that only that legitimate entity has does 919 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 6: not mean they're legit. And as the FBI says, I'm 920 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 6: reading directly from their know that legitimate companies will never 921 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 6: call you. 922 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 2: And offer tex support out of the blue. If you 923 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 2: get a call like this, hang up right. Never let 924 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: someone have remote access to your computer. Never get out 925 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,920 Speaker 2: your credentials, especially if it's financially rate. If you're using 926 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 2: name of password, it's financially related, because they're going to 927 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: get into your account and lock you out and steal 928 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,320 Speaker 2: your money. And getting back now to this Apple angle, 929 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 2: So Forbes recently reported on this now and this is 930 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,720 Speaker 2: not an Apple specific problem, but there are sophisticated attacks. 931 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,840 Speaker 2: They've been done to Google users. They're now targeting Apple users. 932 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,279 Speaker 2: Where you get a phone call, or you might get 933 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 2: a text message with like an MFA code, and then 934 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 2: Apple is suddenly calling you on the phone. 935 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 6: Right, it'll probably show up with a number that looks 936 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 6: like it's from Apple. This is the tax support scam idea. 937 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 6: You know, once they get into your Apple account, Could 938 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 6: they get into your bank account? 939 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 3: Could they do? 940 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 6: Who knows what? Hard to say. A lot of people 941 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 6: have the same bad shared passwords. Don't have the MFA 942 00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 6: turned on. If you get a call, Apple has very 943 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 6: clearly said they will not call you like this, right. 944 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 6: Google has said will not call you like this. Microsoft 945 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 6: has said they will not call you like this. If 946 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 6: you get a call like this, chance it's a scam, 947 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 6: it's probably enough, yes, and then you go. If you're 948 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 6: worried about it, you go, log into your Apple account, 949 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 6: log into your Google account, log into your Microsoft account, 950 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 6: log into your bank account. Do not click the links, 951 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 6: do not call the numbers, do not take the bait. 952 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 4: Now, it's it's just as simple as that. 953 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 1: It's bogus because they've already told you they're not going 954 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: to call you regardless. 955 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 4: So I mean, you just you're right. 956 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:47,799 Speaker 1: You just got to be vigilant and be aware that 957 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: this stuff is going on, and that's why we're here 958 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: talking about it. Child safety advocates warned parents to avoid 959 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: avoid AI toys this Christmas. We kind of talked about 960 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: the Teddy Bear describing sexual fetishes and the like. 961 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 4: This is an extension of that, is it not. 962 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 6: It is Gary, Jeff. I mean it's the idea that 963 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 6: I mean. First off, as we've discussed before, Internet are 964 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 6: things devices aka smart devices, which includes toys children's toys, 965 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 6: have been a concern for some time. I mean the 966 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 6: literality is probably going back more than ten years that 967 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 6: you don't have to look too hard to find all 968 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 6: kinds of privacy and security flaws in these children's toys 969 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 6: that connect to the Internet, whether it's you know, known vulnerabilities, 970 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 6: whether it's recording that you don't understand. Because keep in mind, 971 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,280 Speaker 6: many of these toys have cameras and microphones in them, 972 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,839 Speaker 6: because that's how you interact with them, right. You know, 973 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 6: we've seen stories over the years of web cameras getting 974 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,320 Speaker 6: packed and weird people talking to people's kids for these things. 975 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 6: If you have a toy that can connect to the internet, 976 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 6: you know, ask yourself, did the toy manufacturer focus on 977 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 6: the privacy and security of this device and of my 978 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 6: children playing with it? Or do they focus on things 979 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 6: like market share, speed to market, and ease of use? 980 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 6: And you know, that's that's my issue with the so 981 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 6: called smart devices across the board is as a consumer, 982 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 6: they are not focused on their privacy and security. They 983 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,400 Speaker 6: are not focused on protecting you. They're focused on selling 984 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 6: as much of these things, many of these as they can, 985 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,920 Speaker 6: to as many people as possible, making it as easy 986 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 6: to use as possible so people will use them, and 987 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 6: then collecting as much data as possible to you know, 988 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 6: further monetize your data. So when you give your kid 989 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 6: a toy like this, again, forget the AI piece for 990 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 6: a minute, just right off the bat, you know, do 991 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 6: you did you change the default password? Do you know 992 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 6: how to set it up for software updates so that 993 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 6: eventually there's not a vulnerability in the kid's toy that 994 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 6: allows hackers to get into your home or office network 995 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 6: and do much more nefarious things. Then you throw in 996 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,879 Speaker 6: the AI angle. I mean, you and I have talked 997 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 6: about this before. It's well documented if you go look, 998 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 6: you know, there's all kinds of issues with AI making 999 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,240 Speaker 6: people lose their minds, AI telling people to do crazy things. 1000 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 6: In this specific Teddy Bear story where a researcher was 1001 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 6: purposely trying to see what it would do, and you know, 1002 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 6: was asking questions about like hey, where can I get NDS? 1003 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,399 Speaker 6: And the AI in this thing told the kids like, oh, 1004 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 6: they're usually in the kitchen and such so as a 1005 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 6: cautionary tale. Now, you know, my kids are not of 1006 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 6: an age where this would matter anymore, and I don't 1007 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 6: have any grandkids yet. But I'm sure you know what 1008 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 6: I'm going to say next, which is, there's absolutely no chance, 1009 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 6: no chance I would give my young children or my 1010 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 6: grandchildren any kind of AI internet connected toy. Do you 1011 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 6: understand what it's recording when it's recording? Do you want 1012 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 6: your kids' conversations to be sucked up, analyzed, sold to 1013 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 6: someone else, or conversations you might be heaving with your 1014 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 6: kids that you don't understand are being recorded. Do you 1015 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 6: really want your kid exposed to some AI bot that's 1016 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 6: telling them who knows what without any real oversight over it? 1017 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 6: Like you could at least have on a computer or 1018 00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 6: a tamphlet or something. In my mind, and there is 1019 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 6: just no way you could justify getting a young child some. 1020 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 3: Sort of toile like this, no doubt. 1021 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 6: Stay away from these things, or at least at least 1022 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 6: do your research and vet them. 1023 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 1: Carefully, care more more carefully than probably some of the 1024 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,439 Speaker 1: Afghanis were vetted when they came into the country. Dave 1025 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: Hatter is with us for another quick segment. We'll come 1026 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 1: back and talk about SMB's what they are and how 1027 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: they can protect you this holiday shopping season. 1028 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 4: And we just had cyber Monday yesterday. 1029 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: Dave Hatter on the Nightcap back in just a moment 1030 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 1: our it Guy Tech Talk Doomsday. Dave with the aluminum 1031 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: foil hat securely placed on his head so the aliens 1032 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 1: cannot read his thoughts. Dave, what are SMBs and this 1033 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: is some kind of layered security, but I don't know 1034 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: much about it. And how can SMBs so called protect 1035 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: you this holidays season from cyber threats? 1036 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, so they're what they're talking about here. This is 1037 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 6: an article from a chief security officer online, and they're 1038 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 6: they're warning small businesses, small medium businesses, that's what they 1039 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 6: mean by S and D in this case, are always 1040 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 6: under attack because they typically don't have the deep pockets, 1041 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 6: they don't have the resources, they don't have the experienced 1042 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 6: team that larger companies have to depend against this and 1043 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,439 Speaker 6: also normally during any kind of holiday extended off time, 1044 00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 6: you're going to see increased attacks on businesses. You know, 1045 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 6: what bad guys like to do is assuming they can 1046 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 6: get a foothold in your environment, whether that's somehow they 1047 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 6: find a vulnerability in your firewall or some smart IoT 1048 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 6: device that's not set upright, or they just are able 1049 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:51,440 Speaker 6: to compromise someone's identity right, they're able to guess the 1050 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 6: username and password or get a user name of password 1051 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 6: up the dark web, they get in and in many cases, 1052 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 6: if they're going to drop ransomware, which is you knowftware 1053 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 6: that encrypts your data to shuts your systems down and 1054 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 6: then you have to pay to unlock it, and they 1055 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 6: usually steal the data too. So when you say, oh, hey, 1056 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 6: I listened to Old Dean's Day Dave Hatter, I got 1057 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 6: a good backup. I don't need to pay your ransom 1058 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 6: because I can just wipe my systems in the store 1059 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 6: and go on about my business. Then they'll threaten to 1060 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 6: release your data online unless. 1061 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 3: You pay right. 1062 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 6: It gives them extra leverage to extort you even if 1063 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 6: you're not down because of the ransomware. So what they 1064 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,360 Speaker 6: like to do is wait till a holiday weekend. 1065 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 2: You know, if you. 1066 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 6: Have a three day weekend coming up, if they can 1067 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 6: launch their attack let's say on a Friday night, knowing 1068 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 6: no one's going to be back in the office until Monday. 1069 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:40,120 Speaker 6: They can inflict maximum damage. Right there's no one paying attention. 1070 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 6: They can hit the maximum amount of systems. They can 1071 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 6: inflict maximum damage, thus increasing the likelihood you're going to pay. 1072 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 6: So this article is basically saying, hey, it's a small business, 1073 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 6: you need to understand these things. They got an interesting 1074 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 6: static here small and medium sized businesses. Twenty nine percent 1075 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 6: of businesses with fewer than twenty five employees and nearly 1076 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 6: one in five mid size businesses have or have experienced 1077 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,439 Speaker 6: a ransomware attack in twenty five nineteen percent of them. Sorry, 1078 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,400 Speaker 6: that didn't come out very clear, And again, ransomware can 1079 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 6: be an existential threat. If you don't have good backups 1080 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 6: and you don't pay the ransom where they decide not 1081 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 6: to give you the decryption key, well, your systems are 1082 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 6: just wrecked. And you know, can you survive that hard 1083 01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 6: to say. But the point they're going to make also 1084 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,920 Speaker 6: is Windows ten with end of life, which means no 1085 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 6: more security updates for Microsoft, and they're saying you need 1086 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 6: to take a multi tiered approach. You want technological tools 1087 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 6: in place, things like anti virus, email spam filtering, DNS filtering, 1088 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 6: to try to block the bad guys. You want training 1089 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,040 Speaker 6: in place so that your team is aware of the 1090 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 6: kind of threats they're going to face, like phishing and 1091 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 6: social engineering and sense worth. And then you need systems 1092 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 6: in place so that if and when an event does 1093 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 6: occur you do have a successful cyber attack, you can 1094 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 6: contain it and re cover quickly from it. Where the 1095 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 6: minimum downtime the minimum costs to you. I mean, this 1096 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 6: is the stuff we're to preach in every day as 1097 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 6: a business Cary Jess. You know, there's nothing you can 1098 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 6: do to make yourself your business completely impervious to this stuff, 1099 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 6: but there are things you can do focused on risk 1100 01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 6: to make your business a much and frankly yourself a 1101 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 6: much more difficult target. You know, as. 1102 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 1: Especially with a small business. H It's it's hard to 1103 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 1: The reason you have these systems in the first place, 1104 01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: is it it makes it easier for you to run 1105 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: with the skeleton crew of people, a small amount of people. 1106 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 1: But if it would be practical and you can fairly 1107 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 1: easily do it, isn't it good to have a hard 1108 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 1: copy backup of all the important stuff that you've got. 1109 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,360 Speaker 6: Uh, certainly, you know one of the things that's interesting. 1110 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 6: You know, I recommend every business have an incident response plan, 1111 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 6: an ideally cybersecurity insurance. Ay, just going through the insurance 1112 01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 6: process will help you understand what insurance companies see his 1113 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 6: threats and things you need to depend against, and then 1114 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 6: an incident response planned. Okay, if and when I have 1115 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,080 Speaker 6: an incident, it doesn't have to be a cyber attack. 1116 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 6: It could be my server crashed, we had a tornado. Whatever, 1117 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 6: my systems are down right, what do I need to 1118 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,960 Speaker 6: do to recover? Who do I need to call so 1119 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 6: that when that crisis hits you're not scrambled around? And 1120 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 6: the reason I bring that up is because people will 1121 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 6: often create these things, keep them in a digital format only, 1122 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 6: and then they lose it when the system crashes. So yes, 1123 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 6: having a hard copy, a secure hard copy in a 1124 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 6: safe or something of critical data is always a good 1125 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 6: backup approach to make sure that if and when your 1126 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 6: systems crash, you know you're good to go. Now. I 1127 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 6: will also throw out one key idea and the world 1128 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 6: of backups, you'll hear about the backup rule of three 1129 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 6: to two one. This works well for individuals too. But 1130 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 6: the idea of the backup rule of three two. One 1131 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 6: is you have for any critical data, anything you can't 1132 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,520 Speaker 6: afford to lose, you have three copies of it. The 1133 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,920 Speaker 6: production copy you're working off of, the other copy stored 1134 01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 6: on a different medium could be an external disc, could 1135 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 6: be a network attached storage or whatever. And then a 1136 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 6: third copy that's off site, ideally in some sort of 1137 01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 6: cloud based backup that's happening automatically, so that even if 1138 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 6: the two copies on site are destroyed somehow, you can 1139 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,000 Speaker 6: still fall back to a third copy that it's safe 1140 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,400 Speaker 6: somewhere else. Yeah, you know these are all and that 1141 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 6: speaks to the resiliency idea that, Okay, when an event occurs, 1142 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 6: doesn't have to be a cyber attack again, could be 1143 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 6: a natural disaster. You've got something you can fall back on, 1144 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 6: an ideal. You're testing it to make sure that it's 1145 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 6: available and workable when you need it. 1146 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: Great information. Dave Hatter as always my friend. Thank you 1147 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: again and sleep tight. We'll talk to you soon. 1148 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 6: Always my pleasure. 1149 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Thanks Gary, Jeff, you got it. 1150 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 4: Dave Hatter with us on the nightcap. 1151 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up with the fur ball 1152 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 1: in minutes afternoons. Ah do I long for these conversations. 1153 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm like a junkie. I'm like scratching it in my arms, 1154 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 1: and I'm freezing cold all a sudden and then sweating 1155 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 1: the next because I got to get my fix of 1156 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 1: the fur ball. I'm like a junkie on the streets. 1157 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: It's and and now I get my dose. I get 1158 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: to to as the as the junkies say, I get 1159 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: to get well for a few minutes. So here is 1160 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: my fix of Furman on a nightcap on seven hundred 1161 01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 1: w L W Oh did you bring this stuff? 1162 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 4: Andy? 1163 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 3: The stuff? Yeah? I always bring this stuff. You know 1164 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:29,680 Speaker 3: that I'm ready for you. 1165 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,440 Speaker 1: Okay, good boy boy, I'll tell you what. The DT's 1166 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: are terrible when I when I don't get enough Andy Furman. 1167 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 4: And now I know. 1168 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 3: There's something wrong with you. I guess you can think 1169 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 3: get a life, But you know, there's there's so much 1170 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 3: out there, and really and truly, I think we've got 1171 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 3: to lead off for college football because that's the story 1172 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 3: of the day right now. And one of the stories 1173 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 3: obviously was Lank kissing. And it's really a funny story 1174 01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 3: because you know, I'm on the weekend. I'm on Sunday 1175 01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 3: morning on Fox Sports Radio, and I saw the show up, 1176 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 3: say hey, Lane, where you're going because you said Saturday 1177 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 3: you're going to make a decision be at Florida or LSU, 1178 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 3: and ended up going to LSU. And you know, after 1179 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:08,959 Speaker 3: a while that kind of got old. 1180 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 2: And here's the deal. 1181 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,959 Speaker 3: I mean, the grain standing was disgusting. I really believe 1182 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 3: that you're hurting the school. You're you're hurting the kids 1183 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 3: that you recruited for that school. And I'm so happy 1184 01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 3: they a thought the arrector and to a president that 1185 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 3: started to put the lock and bolt on his office 1186 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,520 Speaker 3: door and say, you know what, you want to go 1187 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 3: to LSU. God bless you get the hell out. Here's 1188 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 3: a guy who has always been one step out the 1189 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 3: door wherever he's been. He was fired on the carmack 1190 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 3: at the tarmac, I mean on the at the airport 1191 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 3: when he was coaching USC. He coaches a Tennessee for 1192 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 3: what they were seven and six. 1193 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 4: He got fired there. 1194 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: They threw him out of Knoxville, that's for sure, real quick. 1195 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so the guy's been all over I mean, yeah, 1196 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,400 Speaker 3: he's like a like a fifty nine and eleven record 1197 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 3: at open as he's done, Well, why not stay there, 1198 01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 3: you know, build a legacy over there. I get it 1199 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 3: for his contrast to be close, like seventy five seventy 1200 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 3: eight million dollars in LSU, A lot of pressure on 1201 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 3: him over there. But you know, here's the thing. There's 1202 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,120 Speaker 3: something wrong with this system. When a coach who takes 1203 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 3: the team to the college playoffs, the SEC you know, 1204 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 3: playoffs whatever it may be. Yeah, and then all of 1205 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,960 Speaker 3: a sudden he's going to both and leave. And you know, 1206 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 3: at least he talked about it. I mean, Brian Kelly 1207 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 3: was worse. He just left. He didn't say a word. 1208 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 3: He just didn't show up at the banquet for the 1209 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 3: University of Cincinnati. So they got to do something right 1210 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 3: now with this. And you know, I applaud Old miss 1211 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 3: for not letting them coach in the playoff game, silly 1212 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 3: because his coaching would just more or less talk to 1213 01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 3: these kids to tell him to go with it. Tell us, 1214 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 3: you well, recruiting them while he's coaching them. 1215 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 4: Andy, You're not the first person. 1216 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,160 Speaker 1: In fact, almost everyone including the people inside the bubble 1217 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,760 Speaker 1: of the coaches and administrators, are saying that college football 1218 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 1: is broken. 1219 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 4: Now, how would you fix it? 1220 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 3: Well? Number one, you know the portal for the college 1221 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 3: kid for transferring and college football is going to be 1222 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 3: open during the college football playoffs, which is so ridiculous 1223 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 3: because here's the deal. If I'm a kid at school X, 1224 01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 3: and I get a great offer monetarily to go to 1225 01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 3: a college, and say, wait a second, you know, why 1226 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 3: would I go to a playoff game and endanger my 1227 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 3: monetary economics for an injury? Last factor, I'm not going 1228 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:23,680 Speaker 3: to play. I'm going to both. I'm going to go 1229 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,599 Speaker 3: into the portal, I'm gonna go to the school. So 1230 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 3: there's something wrong, I mean, and I don't understand how 1231 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 3: these guys could get in a room and discuss this 1232 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 3: and not look at the downside of what they're doing. 1233 01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,719 Speaker 3: The portal should be done after the entire football season, 1234 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 3: playoffs at all are finished. During the playoffs, it doesn't 1235 01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:42,479 Speaker 3: make any sense. 1236 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct on that. I don't think that you 1237 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:51,600 Speaker 1: should have this revolving door while a national championship is 1238 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 1: at stake. 1239 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 3: And you know, honestly, as far as exposures concern the publicity, 1240 01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 3: I think the top players who in fact would put 1241 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 3: their names in the portal, they'll get more play, more 1242 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 3: publicity than maybe the games themselves. 1243 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 2: You don't want to do that. 1244 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 3: I mean, like omentually Baseball, they're small enough to say, hey, 1245 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 3: look we're looking at the hold all trades of big 1246 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 3: announcements during the World Series. I get it. The World 1247 01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 3: Series is the showcase. They're in the center stage and 1248 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,720 Speaker 3: everything else is an ancillary. Let that go roll up 1249 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 3: to someplace else. A lot of people it takes sense, 1250 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:24,080 Speaker 3: it really doesn't. 1251 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 1: A lot of people said about the old system we got. 1252 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 1: There's twelve team playoff. They just announced the teams earlier tonight. 1253 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: They said that, you know, it's better for the teams 1254 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: to on the field decide the national championship. And I 1255 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 1: can't disagree with that instead of a computer placing four 1256 01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 1: teams in there and having a couple of Bowl games 1257 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: to determine it. But it's twelve teams too many, Andy, 1258 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:51,759 Speaker 1: you think. 1259 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 3: You think it is, But it's not too many for 1260 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 3: the pocketbooks. That's the thing. Well, you know when they 1261 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 3: have a question that Chris collins Worth the Wayswoman is 1262 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 3: if you have a question, you know the answer is 1263 01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,839 Speaker 3: follow the dots. Is always about the guelt, the green cabbage, 1264 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 3: and that's what it is. It's all about the money. 1265 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 3: And that's what this is. And I remember way back 1266 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 3: when when they never even had a championship game played 1267 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 3: for college football. It was the Associated Press and the 1268 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 3: United President the Nationals. They chose the college champion, AP champion, 1269 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,839 Speaker 3: and the UPI champion. So at least they're playing, okay. 1270 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 3: And I remember your last year and the year prior 1271 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 3: to that, they had four teams, and it was so 1272 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 3: excited because look, the team had to get one loss 1273 01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,639 Speaker 3: and basically you're on the hook. One loss, you may 1274 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,080 Speaker 3: not get in. And that team that was fifth, pressing 1275 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 3: its nose against the glass. There was always a great story, 1276 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,439 Speaker 3: a controversial story. Should they have gotten it? Should they 1277 01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 3: have made it? Now with twelve, you're gonna get teams 1278 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 3: with two losses for sure, and maybe several with three. 1279 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 3: You know, and again, you know, what's the point in 1280 01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,200 Speaker 3: playing throughout the entire season is you're going to play 1281 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 3: again and meet the same teams again. 1282 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 1: I just but this also allows even with twelve teams, Andy, 1283 01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 1: it also allows for teams to be pressing their against 1284 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 1: the glass. Now with only two losses. My Vanderbilt Commodores, 1285 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 1: darn Well should have be considered for and I'm sure 1286 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: they were at a certain point. But you know teams 1287 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 1: like that who had incredible seasons. You know, Vandy has 1288 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 1: never won ten games in any college football season ever 1289 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 1: in their entire school history. 1290 01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:23,799 Speaker 4: They won nine. The last time they won. 1291 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: Nine games was nineteen fifteen, and they had this remarkable 1292 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 1: ten and two season. They their last game they beat 1293 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: their rival ut on Tennessee's field. Tennessee was ranked nineteenth, 1294 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,599 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt fourteenth. But even at ten and two in the SEC, 1295 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 1: they you know, are on the outside looking in more 1296 01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,120 Speaker 1: than likely, and and everybody else, like you said, you 1297 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 1: got you got two loss teams. Notre Dame gets the 1298 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 1: benefit of being Notre Dame. 1299 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,240 Speaker 3: That's the key, you know. You know what. Obviously Myami 1300 01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 3: of Florida beat not to Dam early on, and they've 1301 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 3: been ranked a head of notes. There's been rent a 1302 01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 3: head of them all season long. I mean, you know, 1303 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 3: there's always going to be an argument right there. And 1304 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 3: I think this Miami team is one of those teams 1305 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 3: you don't know what you're going to get on any 1306 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 3: given Saturday. There they're one heck of a team and 1307 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,400 Speaker 3: an explosive team, but maybe the competition they played against, 1308 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,200 Speaker 3: they only played as good as a competition in their conference, 1309 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 3: which was not that great of a conference. And the 1310 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,679 Speaker 3: downside of Vanderbilt is the conference they playing. It's so strong, 1311 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 3: the Big Ten obviously, and the SEC one two or 1312 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 3: two one, if you will, as far as college football 1313 01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 3: powers are concerned. That's just the way it is. 1314 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 4: Well, it's pretty and maybe there's. 1315 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,799 Speaker 3: Too many teams in the conferences. It's pretty. 1316 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: It's pretty telling that the Big Ten championship coming up 1317 01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: this weekend is one versus two in the nation, Ohio 1318 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,840 Speaker 1: State versus Indiana. That could that has the potential, that 1319 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,479 Speaker 1: is all the earmarks of being a national championship game 1320 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,640 Speaker 1: right there, without the playoffs exactly exactly. 1321 01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 3: And that's a shame, isn't it. It really is, because 1322 01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 3: that game maybe better than the national championship game. Seriously, well, 1323 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:04,639 Speaker 3: I may have more interest. 1324 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 4: It's not a shame for Hoosier fans. I'll tell you 1325 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:07,800 Speaker 4: that right now. 1326 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,759 Speaker 3: I mean, you're right about that. I mean, and again, 1327 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 3: I mean the bottom line is this. If it's about 1328 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 3: the money, let's go one step further. I mean you 1329 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 3: could turn on any talk radio show in the country, 1330 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 3: sports talk, national locos may be I promise you I 1331 01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,240 Speaker 3: promise you they cannot get away without talking about gambling, 1332 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 3: and get I get the reason why. It's it's part 1333 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 3: of the game. To me, it's killing the game. And 1334 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,840 Speaker 3: as long as they're sponsoring these shows, they're going to 1335 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,720 Speaker 3: talk about them. I hear it all the time. I 1336 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,840 Speaker 3: hear it all you. Look, I'm very fortunate because I 1337 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,160 Speaker 3: work at Fox Sports Radio, and yeah, they do talk 1338 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,360 Speaker 3: gambling on the shows, and they have the shows on Sunday. 1339 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 3: You know whose favorite? How many points? Because I work 1340 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 3: with a guy by the name of Bucky Brooks who 1341 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,960 Speaker 3: played in the NFL and he works for the Jackson Jaguars. 1342 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 3: He's not permitted to talk about gambling because he works 1343 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 3: for the NFL, which I love because I don't want 1344 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 3: to talk about gambling. There are too many great stories 1345 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 3: out there. You want to talk about gamb Look, I'm 1346 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:02,920 Speaker 3: not opposed to it. I worked at racetracks most of 1347 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 3: my life, But go ahead and gamble. I don't think 1348 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 3: people want to tune on a radio show to hear 1349 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,680 Speaker 3: odds and lines about games about hosts that have no 1350 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 3: idea how they could predict the game. Because look what's 1351 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 3: happening in the NFL this year. You can't even predict 1352 01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,240 Speaker 3: the game the other day that Carolina was going to 1353 01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 3: beat the Rams. Are you kidding? You just can't predict it. 1354 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 3: So I talk about it. You know, there are better 1355 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 3: stories out there and game stories rather than just talk 1356 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 3: about points and gambling. And I won't do it, and 1357 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 3: I don't do it. 1358 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,519 Speaker 1: You could have predicted that the Giants were going to 1359 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,479 Speaker 1: get crushed last night by New England. Well that was 1360 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,719 Speaker 1: a runaway train from the start of the game. 1361 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 3: And well what about the Giants kicker? Oh the end 1362 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 3: of the game? Oh did you see that? 1363 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 4: No, I didn't see the end of it because I 1364 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 4: turned it off already. It was over. It was thirty 1365 01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 4: to fifteen. 1366 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,519 Speaker 3: I saw it on social media, and look, I didn't 1367 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,320 Speaker 3: watch the end of the game because it was kind 1368 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,720 Speaker 3: of gone. Really, but you know, really and truly he 1369 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 3: missed it. Looked like he just stopped before he was 1370 01:14:59,200 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 3: going to kick the foot. 1371 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, that was early. That was earlier in the game. 1372 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:03,559 Speaker 1: That wasn't at the end of the game. 1373 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 3: On social media after the game. But yeah, and the question, 1374 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 3: the question arises has to arise, like was he doing 1375 01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:14,400 Speaker 3: that because of the odds on the game? I mean, 1376 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,840 Speaker 3: with the points. There's a cloud over every game right now, 1377 01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,800 Speaker 3: especially basketball. Would happen in the NBA and now maybe 1378 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,640 Speaker 3: even football. If the guy drops the pass in the 1379 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 3: end zone and the game is not covered by the 1380 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 3: x amount of points, the question is going to be risen. 1381 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 3: I mean, did he do it on purpose? Off? 1382 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:35,759 Speaker 1: And And it's all because of the prop bet angle. 1383 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 1: And when you can bet on an individual player, maybe 1384 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: not even a maybe not even a starter, who is 1385 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 1: going to do something or do this or do that 1386 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,599 Speaker 1: during the game instead of just what what's the outcome 1387 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 1: of the game, what's the point spread? 1388 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 4: When they get down. 1389 01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 1: To the the micro cosm of a game and they 1390 01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,720 Speaker 1: get to individual players and you know, field goal attempts 1391 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:04,759 Speaker 1: and people are betting on that, that is what opens 1392 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 1: the door for all kinds of fraud and the lack 1393 01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,600 Speaker 1: of integrity because of gambling. 1394 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 4: That's it right there. 1395 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,040 Speaker 3: I'll go on stuff further. You say it opens the door, 1396 01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,559 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this. The door's open. The door 1397 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 3: is oh right, I mean the door. I mean what's 1398 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,879 Speaker 3: happened in the NBA would happened in Major League Baseball. 1399 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:26,160 Speaker 3: I just I think there's a cloud over professional sports. 1400 01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 4: Right now. 1401 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 3: And I think that anytime something like that happens, a mispitch, 1402 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 3: a drop ball, whatever it may be, the question is 1403 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 3: going to be risen like, oh, did he do it 1404 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 3: on perfect? Was he brought up? Or gamble is involved? 1405 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 3: Was Vegas involved? 1406 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 4: Guys? 1407 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 3: It's terrible, it really is. 1408 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: You got to get rid of the prop bets. That's 1409 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 1: the only way to because you're never going to betting. 1410 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:50,599 Speaker 3: Governor the one in Ohio has done that, yeah, which 1411 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 3: is great, but you know one state. You know what 1412 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,559 Speaker 3: is that going to do? You bet in Vegas? That's 1413 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,440 Speaker 3: not gonna not gonna change things. The pro bit Vegas. 1414 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,719 Speaker 4: People people are you to doing prop bets now? 1415 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:06,679 Speaker 1: So even if you made them technically illegal, there's still 1416 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: going to be illegal betting going on on prop bet 1417 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 1: prop bets and players. I mean, because you, like you said, 1418 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,719 Speaker 1: the door is open, Pandora's box has had the lid 1419 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: lifted off, and this is what we've got. 1420 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 3: But okay, here's my question to you. I'm really I'm 1421 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 3: so out of it with betting. I have no idea. 1422 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,040 Speaker 3: Now I know what a prop bet is. But some 1423 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 3: of the wines says he wants to eliminate prop bets 1424 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,880 Speaker 3: in Ohio. I have a phone, and I want to 1425 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 3: go to one of these betting sites. I guess I 1426 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 3: could still better prop bet correct. Sure you sure you could? 1427 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,400 Speaker 3: Around you know, he's eliminating prop bets and casinos. I 1428 01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,120 Speaker 3: would think that's where they're eliminated. 1429 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 4: At the sports books. 1430 01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 3: But in other words, I have a phone, and if 1431 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 3: I want to go to bet USA or at MGM, 1432 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 3: whatever it may be, on my phone, I could make 1433 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:56,160 Speaker 3: a prop bet correct. 1434 01:17:56,600 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: You certainly could. All right, I'm sure I'm sure that 1435 01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: the prop bet police aren't banging down your door five 1436 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: minutes after you get off the phone. 1437 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:10,000 Speaker 3: Handy, right there you go. It's just, you know, and 1438 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,000 Speaker 3: I do. I say this not because I'm opposed to gambling. 1439 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 3: I love the purity of sport and it's really been 1440 01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,000 Speaker 3: taken away right now. It really has been. It has. 1441 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:20,679 Speaker 3: I mean, it's bad. 1442 01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 4: I just all do. 1443 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 1: All of our innocence has been lost, Andy, all of 1444 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: our innocence. There's no more innocence. 1445 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 3: In other words, if someone went to bet that Joe 1446 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,080 Speaker 3: Burrow is going to pass to three hundred yards this 1447 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,599 Speaker 3: week in their football game against Buffalo, and he's got 1448 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 3: to eighty to eighty going to the fourth quarter and 1449 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,120 Speaker 3: the Bengals hand the ball off the entire fourth quarter 1450 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 3: to run out the clock. Don't you think someone's going 1451 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,400 Speaker 3: to say, wait a minute, someone had to bet that 1452 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,799 Speaker 3: throw the three hundred yards. He didn't do it, because 1453 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,600 Speaker 3: that's why they handed the ball off and ran the 1454 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 3: football and didn't pass. Those are the things that are 1455 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,679 Speaker 3: gonna happen stuff like that. 1456 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 1: One thing, one thing hasn't changed, Andy, was that the 1457 01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:02,160 Speaker 1: house always wins and and the bookies always know what's 1458 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:06,280 Speaker 1: going to happen pretty much, And the only time they 1459 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: question the legitimacy of betting is when they don't win. 1460 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 1: As long as as long as the bookies are always 1461 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 1: on point with their point spreads and all their other 1462 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:24,120 Speaker 1: bets is long. It's when there are anomalies and the 1463 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,440 Speaker 1: house loses, that's when they look into it. 1464 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 4: Otherwise. 1465 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:32,160 Speaker 3: But here's my question. Everything for years betty was legal 1466 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,439 Speaker 3: in England, and I have all the soccer leagues over there. 1467 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,560 Speaker 3: I haven't really read or heard about so much controversy 1468 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,400 Speaker 3: there as we have here. I do I do understand 1469 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 3: why why is that? 1470 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: Well, the paraphrase Sam wis, you don't live in England 1471 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 1: you live in Cincinnati.
