I'm bringing them 23 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: on early tonight because there's a couple of things I 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: want to ask you about. But we're going to start 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: off with something that is far more important than in 26 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the news of the day, and that is Honor Flight 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Try State and this is the Honor Flight. Is something 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: that tell me about your journey with Honor Flight, because 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: you this is something that has really become somewhat of 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: a calling in your life to be to be part 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: of Honor Flight, Try State and part of the board. 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it started as simply signing up at State dot 33 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: org many many years ago to be a guardian. So 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: I started the way many people start in Honor Flight, 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: although you can also start by just simply being a 36 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: volunteer or what we call an ambassador. And you know, 37 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: I met. It was a moving experience and ever since 38 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 2: that first Honor Flight I was I was hooked, man, 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it was it. 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: That's all it took. 41 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: And I've been involved ever since. And now I have 42 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: the good fortune to sit on their board and we 43 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: are we are quietly doing things under the leadership of 44 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: Sheryl Pop and the rest of the fine people on 45 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: the board. We are doing. I think we're quietly doing 46 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: things very well and always looking for community support, corporate sponsors. 47 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: We have some great ones Vance Outdoors and gie Aviation Is. 48 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: I believe that's one of their divisions. They have so 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: many I forget which one is the correct one, but 50 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: I believe it's GEA Aviation Is. They're actually sponsoring the 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: next flight. And yeah, and I got to tell you 52 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: we have there's a lot of things, you know. I 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 2: have veterans in my family and I've always I am 54 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: not a veterans. You are, Dan Carroll, and I will 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: I will have the honor of I believe this next 56 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: week of pushing you around DC and A wheelchairs. 57 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: No, that is not correct because I think and I 58 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: want to let everybody know that. About what about three 59 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: or three weeks ago, three four weeks ago, I got 60 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: a message completely out of the blue from our friend 61 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: Cheryl Pop and I don't know, I don't know Andrew 62 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: I you had anything to do with this, But it 63 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: was an invite to go on this honor flight on Tuesday, 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: April the seventh, leaving out a CBEG at five am. 65 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: And when I saw this, I was it was amazing 66 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: to me that I got asked to do this, and 67 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: there's no way I'm going to say no to that. 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: I was on an honor flight, the very one of 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: the very first ones that went out of CVG back 70 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, and that was an experience 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: that I'll never forget. And that was when the World 72 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: War II Memorial had first opened up in Washington, d C. 73 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: So I got to know I got to go on 74 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: that and be part of that, and that was just 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: a fantastic experience. And so the chance to do it again, 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: I could not say no to it. So I'll be 77 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: with you and all the other guardians and all the 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: all the veterans who are going on that flight on 79 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: April seventh. So I'm certainly looking forward to that. 80 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: Well, I've requested a wheelchair for you. 81 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: I am not look condition. 82 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: There's a lot of walking involved. 83 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: I'll be concerned. I'll be fine. I'm gonna be well. 84 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm told I'm on your bus, So I'm 85 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: gonna be with you all day. I'm gonna be with 86 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: you all day and we'll see, we'll see who's who's 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: uh the end of the By the end. 88 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: Of that's fine, I guess we will gauntlet is thrown down, 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: But no, I gotta tell you, as you can listen, 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 2: I really appreciate we we have a lot of banter 91 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: back and forth forth talking about things that sometimes we 92 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 2: feel are important, politics, whatever. But once you do an 93 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: honor flight, you really see what's important. And since then, 94 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I would love to tell you the number 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: of honor flights that I have been on. I cannot. 96 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 2: I've not that I'm anything special. Many people are in 97 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: the same situation I'm in. It's addictive, and I've sponsored 98 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 2: and been on countless honor flights and met a just 99 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: a absolute the whole spectrum of veterans. And what I 100 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: mean by that, you know, I've had you know, I've 101 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: become very good friends with a World War Two veteran 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: that's still on the west side of town. 103 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: I'm going God, I honest, he didn't and I almost 104 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: said a little while ago that I don't know if 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: we have any World War Two veterans left because I 106 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: don't want to. 107 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: I don't want it's still the beans. But I'm fairly 108 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: certain that Frank's not up listening at this hour. So 109 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: Frank is going to be celebrating his Frank wenton camp 110 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: on the west side of Cincinnati. Well, we're the veteran's 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: is I believe it's this month. I'm almost positive it's 112 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: this month. We're going to be celebrating his one hundredth birthday. 113 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: And he still is living alone, spry, independently, and uh 114 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: he will walk us both into the into the pavement 115 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: because he's that physically fit. So I've met, I've met. 116 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: You know, I think I think the more uh. 117 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: Now we're primarily uh, you know, we're out of Korea 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: a lot, and we're into Vietnam pretty pretty heavy, and 119 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: the Vietnam memorial with a veteran, especially a group of veterans, 120 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 2: is probably one of the more emotionally moving things someone 121 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: can do. And the other thing is seeing the you know, 122 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: whether it's here at CBG upon our return. And I 123 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: encourage everybody, I really do mean this, if you have 124 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: a moment Tuesday evening around eight thirty, if you can 125 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: get to CBG the main level and we have what 126 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: we call a welcome home parade, And what the most 127 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: touching thing of that experience is seeing the interaction between 128 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: not only veterans and their families, but veterans and young people, 129 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: young children is really touching and seeing kids come up 130 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: and thanking a veteran for their service is really one 131 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: of the more moving things. And I get choked up 132 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: every time I think about it because it's so moving 133 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: and this spans you know, I've had I've had Republican veterans, 134 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: I've had Democrat veterans. But you know why when we're 135 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: there for the day and we don't talk politics, although 136 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: I have a hard time not making comments whenever we've 137 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: crossed maybe the White House or whatever, Congress, I'll say 138 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: a snide something or other, a joke, But honestly, it's 139 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: a political free events and we're here to celebrate those 140 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: that allow us to have the freedom to express our 141 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: opinions and that keep this country great. And that is 142 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: not the politicians in DC. That is the veterans of 143 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: which you are one day care. 144 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: And that's such a great point because it seems that 145 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: we live in a world where there are fewer and 146 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: fewer things that can really bring us together, no matter 147 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: how we view certain issues or certain situations, and the 148 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: chance to you know, right now, we've got a rocket 149 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: with an astronaut crew on the way to the moon. 150 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: I would certainly hope that as Americans we can all 151 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: come together and rally around that. And when you talk 152 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: about veterans and they spend this amazing day in DC 153 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: at memorials for themselves, and then they come back at 154 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day and you think, you think 155 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: you're emotionally drained after what happened, and then you see 156 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: that huge crowd that comes to the airport. And the 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: one thing I was at the meeting with Cheryl and 158 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: Tom Popp the other night and I was thinking, well, 159 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: with all the security protocols they have at the airport 160 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: these days, how do you get in there? And how 161 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: can you possibly be there when these vets come off 162 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: the airplane. Well, CBG bends over backwards for on or flight, 163 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: and so all you got to do is get yourself 164 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: to the airport.

Tell me 351 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: about Pickax, a social media platform, and is it is 352 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: It seems like that's kind of a crowded space these days, 353 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: social media platforms. 354 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, but in the way that we're going 355 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: about it, it's not really that crowded because what's happening 356 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: is everybody is going everybody's on this trajectory towards developing 357 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: artificial intelligence. Everybody is using algorithms in order to manipulate 358 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: your feeds, and we're doing the exact opposite. 359 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: So what we're trying to. 360 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 4: Actually do is allow you to create community, connect with 361 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 4: other people. We're we're weeding out the boss and the 362 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 4: anonymous accounts and making it to where you know, you're 363 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: actually talking to real life human beings on the other 364 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 4: side and then also too, is that you control your 365 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 4: news feed. You know, right now, on social media platforms, 366 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 4: algorithms decide what you see. Who you follow has very 367 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 4: little bearing on what kind of content you see in 368 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 4: your news feed. 369 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: We're ending that can I take. 370 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 4: Into old school and allowing you to actually connect with 371 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 4: the people you want to connect with it. 372 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that because I'm on X, I have 373 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: a Facebook account. I don't spend I maybe look at 374 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: my Facebook once a week, once every other week. I 375 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: don't look at it all that much. But I'm on 376 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: my X account all the time, and it just bothers 377 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: me when I get this stuff in there, and I 378 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: know what's abot. I know it's I know it's something 379 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that's trying to get me to click and go to 380 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: another website or something like that, and I just I 381 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: just want to get rid of it. I try to 382 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: unfollow it, but it seems like every time you unfollow something, 383 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: you get five or ten more that pop up in 384 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: your feet. 385 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 4: Right, which which is which is a main which is major, 386 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 4: a major problem because what's actually happening is that you're 387 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: actually engaging with that with that account. By trying to 388 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 4: not engage and then and then the algorithm actually giving 389 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: you more of that kind of content, which is really weird. 390 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 4: And also to the other side of it is that 391 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 4: is that because you don't control your news feed on 392 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 4: all these other platforms, then what ends up happening is 393 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 4: the algorithm is this is trying to decide what types 394 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 4: of topics do you like, looking at what kinds of content. 395 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 4: And then these AI bots what doing is they create 396 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 4: content that they that they know the algorithms will like. 397 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 4: And thus the algorithms are picking up this fake content 398 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 4: from these fake accounts and then feeding it to you. 399 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 4: And that's where we get all this disinformation and misinformation 400 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 4: going wild and rampant is because of this foundational problem 401 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 4: that these social media platforms have by actually making everything 402 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 4: algorithmic instead of actually organic. 403 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 404 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: You know what I really hate, especially in my business 405 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: when I'm doing talk radio shows and before this, I 406 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: was in news for almost thirty years, but I just 407 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: hate the false information that gets out there. And it 408 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: seems like it's so easy these days, and every thing, 409 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: every I mean literally everything I read, I have to 410 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: I have to ask the question is this true? 411 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 5: It? 412 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: And even if it comes from a source that I 413 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: think is reliable. I've got to go and check that 414 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: multiple times before I feel comfortable using it or talking 415 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: about it on the air. So, you know, we have 416 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: all this great technology, I should be able to prepare 417 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: for a talk show like this and the span of 418 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: forty or forty five minutes if if everything was going 419 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to go. But since you've got 420 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: to double check and you've got to verify everything, well, 421 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: it winds up taking hours and instead of minutes, and 422 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: it's it's just so frustrating. And I always ask this 423 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: question when I have on technology people like you, what's 424 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: the what's the goal here? Is it just to get clicks? 425 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: They found a way to monetize it. They want to 426 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: screw up your life. What's you know? They get some 427 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: cheap thrill out of it. I mean, you know what, 428 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: what's the what's all? What's behind it all? 429 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, So, so there's lots of different competing interests that 430 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 4: are at place simultaneously, and so there's there's not just 431 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: like one answer to. 432 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: That to that question. 433 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: You know, from the from the social. 434 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 4: Media platforms, what they care about is they care about engagement. 435 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 4: They care about how long you're staying on the platform. 436 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 4: They care about keeping you on. So they're gonna feed 437 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: you stuff that's going to get you a dopamine hit. 438 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 4: Whether it's positive or negative, they don't care. They just 439 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 4: care about getting you that dopamine hit, gets you addicted, 440 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 4: get you coming back from more, and keep you scrolling 441 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 4: on that never ending on that the never ending news feed. 442 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 6: Uh. 443 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: Then when when you're dealing with. 444 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 4: The boss and the and and all that, you know, 445 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: the thing you have to realize is that there's there's 446 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 4: bot farms that are out for higher and so there's 447 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 4: lots of competing interests when it comes to bot farms. 448 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 4: For some people that are using it to amplify their 449 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 4: own social media accounts. For other people, it's, uh, it 450 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: may be an intelligence agency, maybe ours, maybe another another government's, 451 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 4: and they're using bot farms in order to push narratives. 452 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's it's just you know, propaganda to benefit them. 453 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's actually propaganda in order to discredit somebody else. 454 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 4: There's lots of different reasons why that happens. And or 455 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: you know, the other side of it is that you know, businesses, well, 456 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 4: wealthy people, people that have tax they all use bot 457 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 4: farms oftentimes in order to manipulate the public in order 458 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: to support or oppose something that they want them to do. 459 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 4: And so there's lots of different motivations going on simultaneously, 460 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 4: and then we're stuck in the middle, you know, in 461 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 4: all this chaos, trying to figure out what's really going on. 462 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 4: And and I have and I theorize, and I don't 463 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 4: have any hard evidence on this one, but I theorize 464 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 4: that that there's also another component at play in that 465 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: the powers that be want chaos to where we can't 466 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 4: tell what's real and what's not. And so then where 467 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 4: do we turn in order to be the arbiter of truth? 468 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: We would turn to somebody that would be a quote 469 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 4: unquote trusted source, an expert. Maybe it's a government agency 470 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 4: to tell us what's real and what's not. Maybe it's 471 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 4: artificial intelligence something like that, to where then there can 472 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 4: be a source of a quote unquote source of truth 473 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 4: that we all turn to because we can't make heads 474 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: or tails about what's. 475 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: Really going on. Yeah, what what's to your way of thinking, 476 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: what is the biggest red flag that's something that you 477 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: think you're engaging with is not real. What's the one 478 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: biggest giveaway on. 479 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 4: That, Yeah, honestly, like you know, for me that the 480 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 4: easiest giveaway is oftentimes if you're on if you're on X, 481 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 4: you see an account and that's got eight numbers at 482 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 4: the end of it, it's a bot, Like like ninety 483 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: nine point ninety nine nine percent of the time that 484 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 4: that would be a bot. The other the hard part 485 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 4: about X specifically is that they allow pretty much anybody 486 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: with a credit card to actually get verified, so you 487 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: don't even know if you're if who you're talking to 488 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: is a real person or a. 489 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: Bot or you know, whatever it is. 490 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 4: And and they don't actually weed out the unverified accounts 491 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 4: either to where you know, if you're verified or unverified, 492 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 4: you're still kind of being able to be to be seen. 493 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 4: The big the biggest thing that you want to look 494 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: out for is obviously the handle with with a bunch 495 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 4: of random numbers at the tail end of whatever whatever 496 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: their username is.

Uh, you know, do they 499 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 4: have zero followers and they're replying to a bajillion different people? 500 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Probably probably a bot? 501 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 4: Are they just repeating talking points that that you're seeing 502 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 4: the same lines happening over. 503 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: And over and over again. I see a lot of that. 504 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: I think what you just said right there is probably 505 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: the most common thing that I see a lot of 506 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: on X You've got an interesting line on your website. 507 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm looking at pick Acts right now, and you've got 508 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: that great picture of you up there, the same picture 509 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: one two right there. But you've got this saying on 510 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: on your pick Axe homepage. It reads, freedom of speech 511 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: without freedom of reach is control. What exactly does that mean? 512 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a very compelling statement right there. 513 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, well so so a lot a lot of platforms 514 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 4: are trying to make them out to be a free 515 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 4: speech platform. You have to see that with that actually 516 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 4: in Facebook's trying to make that claim now. But but 517 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 4: you know, literally in the terms of service on X 518 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 4: they have they have a policy that literally states you 519 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 4: have freedom of speech but not freedom of reach, which 520 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 4: means that they allow you to say whatever you want, 521 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean that they actually have to let 522 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 4: anybody see it, which flies directly in the face of 523 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 4: what our founding fathers ever intended for the First Amendment 524 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 4: and free speech to be, which was that you could 525 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: actually go down to your town square and say what 526 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 4: say whatever you want without restriction. You could go down 527 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: to your local printing press, print out pamphlets on your 528 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: grievances against the government, distributed really without limitation. 529 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 3: Uh. 530 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 4: And the key is, the key word in the constitution 531 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 4: is actually this this word of with without being without 532 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: abridging your speech or a bridging your freedom of the press, 533 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 4: which is basically limitation. And so and so when you 534 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 4: when you see that, what ends up happening is they 535 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 4: give you the illusion that you are able to say 536 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 4: whatever you want. But what difference does it make if 537 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 4: you can't if nobody actually sees it.

Maybe some people find value in whatever the 606 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: the algorithm is is putting in their brain. 607 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there's there's plenty of platforms for people 608 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: like that out there. But what's really interesting is that 609 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 4: more and more people are getting fed up with social 610 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: media because they feel like they're A they're not connecting 611 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 4: with other people. B they're not connecting with the friends 612 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 4: and their family, and and C is that they feel 613 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 4: like they're in this constant state of fighting and arguing 614 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 4: without actually getting anywhere. Because you might fight with somebody 615 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: and then you'll never see them again, and then you've 616 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 4: got to fight with somebody else you'll never see them again. 617 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 3: As the boat actually. 618 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 4: Like, let's let's build a community of people and discussing 619 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 4: debate ideas with people that you're beginning to build a 620 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 4: relationship with. 621 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, discussing debate ideas. I really think that's that's an 622 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: art form that is, uh, that is really being lost 623 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: in this country, and it's a shame. I got to 624 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: let you go here in about a minute or so, 625 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: but it give me give me a thumbnail of your 626 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: book about a Social injustice exposing the false gospel of 627 00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: social the social justice movement. Give me a thumbnail. Yeah, yeah, definitely. 628 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: So so I basically we put out two books. 629 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 4: One was Social Injustice, one was Church and State. They're 630 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 4: kind of back to back sequels almost, and so Social 631 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 4: Injustice was really taking a look at the theological aspect 632 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 4: of the social justice movement and taking a look at 633 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 4: specifically what their beliefs are, and then proving beyond a 634 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 4: shadow of doubt that it is a false gospel of 635 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 4: what they're presenting, especially with what's happening in a lot 636 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 4: of evangelical churches of embracing social justice and all that 637 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 4: Church and State had been ended up being the sequel, 638 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 4: which was taking a look at the strategy that was 639 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: in play in order to hijack a lot of the 640 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 4: evangelical churches and seminaries in order to pump out these 641 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 4: social justice warrior pastors. And so it was kind of 642 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 4: like a one two punch with there were both group 643 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 4: book book projects that I organized and put together and 644 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 4: got basically experts in each field of topic that we 645 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 4: talked about, and so they're great resources for a lot 646 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 4: of people. 647 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just look at these things that comes under 648 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: the social justice umbrella and it's so much mumbo jumbo, 649 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: with so much nonsense. How did we get to the 650 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: point where these ideas and these concepts seem to be 651 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: ingrained in almost every aspect of our lives and every 652 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: aspect of government that we deal with these days. 653 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 4: It's been a slow build for about the last seventy years, 654 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 4: and it's very incremental, and I think that that's the thing. 655 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 4: We want to do things very quickly and very fast. 656 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 4: We're very short sighted. It's conservative and the less has 657 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 4: been playing the long game for almost a century. So 658 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 4: I think we have to understand what's actually being what's 659 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 4: actually at play here? 660 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: All right, Jeff Dornop, we got to run, But good 661 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: stuff tonight.

I had on my show 723 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: back in the beginning of it was near the beginning 724 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: of February, and Alex Trantefilu, he's the state chairman of 725 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: the Republican Party here in Ohio, and I said, look, 726 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: we are running out of time. We have got to 727 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Save Act has got to be a priority. 728 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: We have got to clean up our elections. We have 729 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: got to make it hard to cheat, keep it easy 730 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: to vote, but make it hard to cheat. And he 731 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: was like, hey, wait, look, it's only February. We've got 732 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: plenty of time. Now it's beginning of April, and we 733 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: are no closer. Now, we might be farther away now 734 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: to getting serious legislation passed that is going to a 735 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: rest the problems we have with elections in this country. 736 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: And November is now all suddenly and not that far away. 737 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 10: You're right, and it's the most important thing we got 738 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 10: because because of these elections, because of the fraud, because 739 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 10: of the massive corruption in the elections, then you get 740 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 10: monsters in office, and then those monsters bring in monster judges, 741 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 10: and then pretty soon the whole system is infected with 742 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 10: the cancer of just monsters that have no respect for 743 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 10: the law for America. They hate America and they're here 744 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 10: to destroy it. And so we've got some major issues. 745 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 10: You know, I thought about this, Dan, maybe I mentioned 746 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 10: it last. 747 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 3: Time on the shelf. 748 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 10: To the media today is like, it's as if it 749 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 10: just hit. 750 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 5: Me one day. 751 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 10: You know, it's bad. We keep saying Trump knows it's bad. 752 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 10: He points it out every day since twenty sixteenth, since 753 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 10: before the election in twenty sixteenth. But it's gotten so 754 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 10: bad that it's as if the Nazi Nazis were running 755 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 10: our media in World War Two. It'd be the equivalent. 756 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 10: That's how bad it is. It's not on our side. 757 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 10: They hate America. They hate Americans and they want to 758 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 10: destroy this country. And I don't know who's behind it. 759 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 10: If it's you know, the World Economic Forum, China, you know, 760 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 10: maybe not Iran anymore. They're getting pretty well blown up. 761 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 10: Perhaps Russia. And you know, quite frankly, I think there's 762 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 10: a you know, a theory I have that maybe the 763 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 10: CIA was taken over years ago and maybe our own 764 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 10: CIA is working against us. And I'll tell you this, 765 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 10: this thought hit me too, and I didn't I jump 766 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 10: into this, but I just think the CIA has been 767 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 10: working inside this country for a long. 768 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 3: Period of time. 769 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 10: You know, we saw it with the Russia collusion, and 770 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 10: we're seeing it with other things. There was a piece 771 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 10: so yesterday it came out that there's this guy, this 772 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 10: young black man who's got like what aspergers or some 773 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 10: sort of really a mental issue. I think that's fair 774 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 10: to call it a mental issue. I'm not really sure, 775 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 10: but he's not functional really, And they indicted this guy 776 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 10: about a year ago for being the pipe bomber of 777 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 10: January sixth, and it was really significant. People don't realize this. 778 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 10: This is how they closed down the Capitol. They had 779 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 10: these pipe bombs planted the night before right around noonish, 780 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 10: they notify authorities that some pipe bombs have been found, 781 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 10: and then because of that they end up shutting down 782 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 10: the government. It was to me it was like their 783 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 10: secondary plan in case the riots didn't get out of 784 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 10: hand enough that they were creating, in my belief, then 785 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 10: they would bring in the pipe barmber. So ultimately the 786 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 10: pipe bomber, the pipe bombs were the reason why they 787 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 10: shut down the camp after that day. And what that 788 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 10: did then is it allowed Pelosi to take over the 789 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 10: government later that evening did the rules in the in Congress, 790 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 10: it was removed from Pence. She came in that evening, 791 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 10: immediately voted on Joe Biden. He became president. There was 792 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 10: no arguments, no more discussions. Nobody was able to raise 793 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 10: issues with the election, of which there was at least 794 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 10: six states as you know, that had major issues. None 795 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 10: of that was able to be to be raised that 796 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 10: night because Pelosi took over the took over the entire 797 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 10: events and ended up. 798 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 3: You know, pushing through Joe Biden. 799 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 10: Had we had a certifiable election, as you know, I've 800 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 10: written about in these books about the twenty twenty election, 801 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 10: three books called The Steel by Joe hope you can 802 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 10: get him out there at Amazon or go to Joehawk 803 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 10: dot com. 804 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 3: You can get him there. 805 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 10: And I've had him consolidated into a major book. I've 806 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 10: had him consolidated into a book in Italy and Italian. 807 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 10: So I was all over this based on my background, Dan, 808 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 10: as you know, and you're at a number of times 809 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 10: my backgrounds in corporate America and actually internationally. I was 810 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 10: head of a large, multi billion dollar block business in 811 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,319 Speaker 10: Hong Kong at one time and led the audit and 812 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 10: the function and the finance teams over the huge block 813 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 10: of business. So I knew a lot about auditing. When 814 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 10: I came back in twenty twenty and started seeing what 815 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 10: was going on, I was like, this is ridiculous. None 816 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 10: of this is certifiable, and that's what we're fighting against 817 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 10: it ever since then. But we've been fighting it. We've 818 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 10: been fighting the media, which is this information war, where 819 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 10: we've been fighting countries abroad. 820 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 3: We've been then Joe. 821 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 10: Biden, Biden comes in and opens up the border for anybody, 822 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 10: which is absolutely I think crimes criminal act, and we 823 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 10: don't know how many people are hear in this country. 824 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 10: Still Trump tried to get rid of them and then 825 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 10: the left fights Ice and they make up stories about Ice, 826 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 10: and they try to prevent us from removing these monsters 827 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 10: from within our country that we don't even know who 828 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 10: they are, you know, gangs and god knows what else. 829 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 10: And so it's been an attack on America like we've 830 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 10: never seen before. 831 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: You know, Joe was going on, I'm glad, I'm glad. Yeah, 832 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up too, Because when I 833 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 1: look at the pipe bomber story, when I look at 834 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: what happened on January sixth, when I look at things 835 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: like you know, there's been really a guy like Anthony 836 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: Fauci has not been brought to justice for what he did. 837 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: When I look at what is happening with organizations like Antifa, 838 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: when when we still have all these questions out there, 839 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: and we were told during the election that we were 840 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,760 Speaker 1: going to get to the bottom of all of this stuff, 841 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: get it off the books, get it cleaned up, people 842 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: were going to be held accountable. Is the only thing 843 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprised about is that Pam Bondi lasted as long 844 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: as she did. To my way of thinking, all this 845 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: stuff is under her purview. She could have pulled the strings, 846 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: called the shots, got the ball rolling on all of them, 847 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 1: these things, and got these things at least to where 848 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: we were going to have, you know, some some reconciliation 849 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: on this, but we but there's been no reckoning on 850 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: any of this stuff. So it's no surprise to me 851 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: that Trump finally fired her and said see you later, 852 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: because I think, especially when it comes to Trump's cabinet members, 853 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: he wants people. He gives them all the freedom that 854 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,399 Speaker 1: they need to do their job. He is not going 855 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: to sit there and hold your hand and micromanage and 856 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: approve every single decision. You are supposed to go out there. 857 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: You are supposed to get a job done, and if 858 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: you don't do it, you're going to be fired. And 859 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,360 Speaker 1: I think that's what we saw happen to Pam Bondi today. 860 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: And she she shouldn't have been around as long as 861 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: she did because we still there are still so many 862 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: questions that we don't have answers to, and it's a 863 00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 1: it's an absolute disgrace. And you know, Trump's over a 864 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: year now, a year and what two or three months 865 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: into his second term, and the clock is ticking on 866 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 1: this and if we don't get it during this administration. 867 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: We may never get the answer to some of this stuff. 868 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 10: That's right, and that's right. That's why this stuff's all 869 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 10: so important. And you know I brought up the Pie Farmer. 870 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 10: What we find out yesterday is that there was this 871 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 10: lady that was brought up a year ago. They said 872 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 10: this lady was at the Capitol. They believe it Pie 873 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 10: Farmer based on the way she walks. They did a 874 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 10: gate analysis. This is her and she was at the 875 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 10: Capitol also that day of the of January sixth. Where 876 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 10: she was she was shoot She was firing on Americans 877 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 10: with Robbert bullets from up above. She fired on one 878 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 10: guy like thirty times. She's targeting the guy in the crowd. 879 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 10: These guys weren't and these were Americans who were standing there. 880 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 10: There was nothing they were doing wrong until he started 881 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 10: getting fired on and they had to grab shields and 882 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 10: try to protect themselves. There's guys got that was. 883 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 3: This girl. 884 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: The question is why why is only this part being 885 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: exposed now? Why wasn't this exposed years ago? I mean, 886 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 1: for god, so it is, I mean right ahead. 887 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 10: Damn what happened? Then they they identify her, some guys 888 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 10: identify her, not not from the FBI, from some reporter 889 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 10: of the journalists. Actually this guy who was January sixth 890 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 10: or himself, he was there as a reporter and he 891 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 10: got he got arrested and he got indicted. 892 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 3: Not some of these other guys, but he did. 893 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 10: And so then he discovers this, he writes about it, 894 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 10: We write about it, and then immediately say, no, you're wrong. 895 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 10: And the thing about this girl, she left it. She 896 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 10: left supposedly the Capitol Police to work for the CIA. 897 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 10: I would question if she was part of the CIA before. 898 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 10: But then they come up with this black guy who's uh, 899 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 10: you know, not really functional. They bring him in for 900 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 10: two hours and they dive him and say, this is 901 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 10: the pipewarmer we had to hold it from for four 902 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 10: years and he bought some stuff like a year before 903 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 10: January sixth that was using these pipe bombs, so it 904 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 10: must be him. 905 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 3: And we're like, what are you doing? What's going on here? 906 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 10: We had Bondi and then Bongino and Cash Teloff standing 907 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 10: up there on stage proud to announce this. The major 908 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 10: flaw though, was that the ladies that they assigned at 909 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 10: the DOJ to run this thing the same lady as 910 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 10: January sixth for Biden, same lady, the targeted General Flynn. 911 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 3: So what's going on? 912 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 10: How come Bondie and Bongino and Cash didn't know this? 913 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 10: So then today finally you know, Bondi is gone and 914 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 10: you know about time. But you know, I guess my 915 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 10: solace is I thought through this, and I'm like, well, 916 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 10: the main thing is we got to win the election. 917 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 10: Because we don't win this election, then we're screwed. If 918 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 10: we win it, we've got two more years perhaps where 919 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 10: somebody could freaking bring some justice to this country. But 920 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 10: without that, we're done. It's this election is over and 921 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 10: these monsters come in, people that steal the elections. How 922 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 10: do you here's the questions, and we don't know. 923 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 3: How to do it. 924 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 10: How do you deal with people that are in the 925 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 10: legislature that have that have or judges that have been 926 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 10: appointed by people in the legislature that stole their elections 927 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 10: to find office. 928 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 3: How do you deal with that? 929 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 10: Well, the main that you've got to get rid of them, 930 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 10: and that is something we don't know how to do. 931 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 3: There's nothing in. 932 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 10: The constitution to say how here's how you deal with 933 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 10: somebody who stole their election, snuck in there and it's 934 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 10: destroying this country, along with another two hundred or so 935 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 10: Democrats and another one hundred or so Rhinos, which are 936 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 10: lying in staying people that say they're a Republican but 937 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 10: they're really not. They're Democrats because they know they can't 938 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 10: win under the under the Democrat strategy or party or 939 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 10: whatever they're whatever they want to do other than destroy America, 940 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 10: and they run as Republicans. So we've got to win 941 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 10: the election and then we can fix this stuff. But 942 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 10: you know, and you start off with that too, it's 943 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 10: like a lot of work on that. 944 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 3: Trump. 945 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 10: Then it seems like Trump's doing everything on his own. 946 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 10: Came up with this executive order. I had talked to 947 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 10: one guy today from California. He says, you know, we've 948 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 10: got the absentee ballots still, they're still in there, and 949 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 10: we need to get rid of them in California especially. 950 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 3: And he's right. 951 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 10: But I talked to another guy who wrote a piece, 952 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 10: David Clements. 953 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 3: He's in attorney. 954 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 10: He's been looking at this election and integ your stuff 955 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 10: with sometime friend of mine, and he said, you know what, 956 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 10: I think this is pretty good because what he did 957 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 10: with this executive order, this recent one is we're going 958 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 10: to clean up the voter rolls. We're going to provide 959 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 10: voter rolls to the states so we know that they're legit, 960 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 10: and then we're going to force them when they send 961 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 10: out mail in ballots that they use a certain type 962 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 10: of envelope so when these come in, it identified the 963 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 10: ballot that was in them, and we're not going to 964 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 10: have a bunch of extra ballots. So that's the theory. 965 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 10: We'll see if it works, but it's better than what 966 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 10: we did have. And President Trump's doing all he can 967 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 10: by himself in a lot of cases in the in 968 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 10: this arena. 969 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 3: To get this stuff fixed because, like you said. 970 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 10: Too soon the monsters people that got into these roles, 971 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 10: learning about who they were and what they stood for, they're. 972 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 3: Not helping us. They're against us. And so yeah, we 973 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,759 Speaker 3: got a lot of work to do. It's it's your 974 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 3: you know. 975 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 10: But Dan, I tell you what, I think. I've shared 976 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 10: this before too. 977 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:25,760 Speaker 3: I think I think we're winning, namely Trump's in office. 978 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope you're right about that, because I look, 979 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,800 Speaker 1: I just saw I just saw Chuck Schumer on with CNN, 980 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,800 Speaker 1: and he's doubling down on the notion that shutting down 981 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: the TSA, shutting down Homeland Security, it was, it was 982 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,880 Speaker 1: part of the plan all along. He seems confident now 983 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:51,840 Speaker 1: that when the midterm elections come around that the House 984 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: in the Senate is going to be back in control 985 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: of the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi is out there. I've seen 986 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 1: interviews that she's done recently. She's taught talking about the 987 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 1: plans they've already got for the next impeachment. And when 988 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: it comes to when it comes to the Trump agenda, 989 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: if Republicans don't win the day and control the House 990 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: and the Senate, the Trump agenda is dead in the water, 991 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: and this stuff is going to be buried. And look, 992 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: it just it's unbelievable. We just keep We thought we 993 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: had an idea how of how widespread and deep the 994 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: swamp was in Washington. But every time it seems like 995 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: you make a little progress, you'll find out just how 996 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: much bigger it is. 997 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right, and we saw it to this last election. 998 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 10: No Trump won in a landslide, and then all of 999 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 10: a sudden we were wayheading the House in the Senate, 1000 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 10: and all of a sudden, the sets, one by one 1001 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 10: get dropped and pretty soon. It's just a slim margin. 1002 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 10: And the GOP did nothing, and I believe it was 1003 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 10: all planned that way, but some of the candidates were 1004 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 10: garbage anyway. 1005 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 3: But anyways, that can't happen this time. 1006 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 10: We're gonna have to fight for every single seat. And 1007 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 10: you know, the GOP, the Rhinos and the gopr are 1008 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 10: a major problem. We're going to have to figure out 1009 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 10: a way to get rid of these monsters, to vet 1010 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,800 Speaker 10: them better. Because we get these people and all of 1011 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 10: a sudden, they shine, they raise their hands, say no, 1012 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 10: I'm over here. I'm actually a skunk and I tricked you. 1013 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 10: You know, for this period of time, we've got to 1014 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,919 Speaker 10: figure out a better way to identify those people and 1015 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 10: not got to get them in office. The media wear though, 1016 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,839 Speaker 10: that's so important, and they that's why they hate us 1017 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 10: at the Gayway, pont It or Joehawk dot com or 1018 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 10: you guys, anybody sharing the truth. They hate and they 1019 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 10: want to take you down. They want to harm you 1020 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 10: and any way they can. And but we're winning and 1021 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 10: that's why they want to do it. Because sixty two 1022 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 10: after the twenty twenty election, sixty two percent of all 1023 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 10: Americans so that they believe the election was stolen one 1024 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 10: year after the election, despite constant reiteration from this massive, corrupt, 1025 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 10: disgusting line media that Trump tried to steal the election 1026 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 10: and that that he was the culprit sick two thirds 1027 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 10: of America basically believed know that was a lie, that 1028 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 10: Trump had the election stolen, and that another sixty two 1029 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 10: sixty six percent actually believed that January sixth was a setup. 1030 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 10: That's a year after the election, after the media is 1031 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 10: pushing this thing left and right, putting it on primetime 1032 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,720 Speaker 10: that January sixty sixth, it was all a lie. 1033 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 3: And we're finding out more and. 1034 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 10: More it's all lie. And you know, and so you know, 1035 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,320 Speaker 10: the Americans don't they know from places. 1036 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,560 Speaker 2: Like this, but I think they should. 1037 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: It should have all been exposed years ago. And and 1038 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: we still we still haven't scratched surface on this. And 1039 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: to my way of thinking, that lays right at the 1040 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: doorstep of Pam Bondies. I say, good riddance, uh, Joe Hoffin, Yeah, 1041 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: we got to run as always, my friend, The time 1042 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: flies right by whenever you're on If people want to 1043 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: find out more about you and your books, where do 1044 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 1: they do that? 1045 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:01,439 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1046 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, I go to Joehoff dot com.

There there's Joe Hoff right there. 1054 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: Ten twenty six phone lines are open after this between 1055 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: now and eleven o'clock. Five to one, three, seven four nine, 1056 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: seven thousand, one, eight hundred, The Big One, as we 1057 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,280 Speaker 1: roll on on the Thursday night edition of The Midweek 1058 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 1: Crisis on seven hundred WLW on the Thursday night edition 1059 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: of The Midweek Crisis five one three seven, seven thousand, one, 1060 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred, The Big One. You know, when I was 1061 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: a kid, my parents were subscribers to Life magazine, so 1062 00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 1: we always had Life Magazine around the house, and I 1063 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: would spend hours staring at the pictures. And I remember 1064 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: back I mean, I mean a little kid. I was 1065 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: a little kid in those days of the Apollo, the 1066 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,280 Speaker 1: Gemini missions and the Apollo missions, and I didn't remember 1067 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,680 Speaker 1: doing everything I could back then to follow what was 1068 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 1: happening with man going into space, and I remember my 1069 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: parents had a copy of Life magazine and I saw 1070 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,280 Speaker 1: the pictures of Ed White, the first American to perform 1071 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: a spacewalk, and I remember thinking, and I still think 1072 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 1: of today, that it was just one of the most 1073 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 1: mind blowing coolest pictures I had ever seen, was Ed 1074 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 1: White out there in space, weightlessness, floating above the Earth, 1075 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: and you could see the Earth in the background of 1076 00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: a lot of those shots. And as a kid, that's 1077 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: when my fascination with the space program began looking at 1078 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: Life magazine, and as a little kid, I was up 1079 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 1: on that July night when Neil Armstrong first stepped on 1080 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 1: the Moon. And I actually got to meet Neil Armstrong 1081 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: once at a golf outing that I was at. Bill 1082 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,640 Speaker 1: Cunningham tells a similar story. He was at a golf event, 1083 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 1: walked in and there was Neil Armstrong sitting over there 1084 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 1: by himself, having a sandwich before the event started. The 1085 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: story that I've got about Neil Armstrong very similar to that, 1086 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: word got around Neil Armstrong is here, really, where's he at? 1087 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,760 Speaker 1: And there he was just sitting at the table, minding 1088 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: his own business. And I walked up to him and 1089 00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: got to meet him. One of the greatest milestones of 1090 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 1: my career as a newsperson was getting a chance to 1091 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,000 Speaker 1: have a sit down and interview with Jim Lovell when 1092 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: his book came out called Lost Moon, and we talked 1093 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 1: and I had a photographer back then, his name was 1094 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: Dave Smith. I worked quite a bit with him at 1095 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: Fox nineteen and Dave Smith and I read the book, 1096 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: and he was a space enthusiast Apollo mission enthusiasts, just 1097 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: like I was. And we read everything we could about 1098 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 1: Jim Lovell, and we read his book and read about 1099 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: Apollo thirteen, read about the Moon missions, and we had 1100 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 1: a debate and we knew that when Neil Armstrong took 1101 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 1: over command of the lunar module and was making his 1102 00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 1: descent onto the lunar surface back then, the story is 1103 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 1: the landing. The designated landing area where they were going 1104 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,760 Speaker 1: to touch down was covered with boulders, I mean boulders 1105 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: the size of volkswagens, big boulders, and Neil Armstrong observed 1106 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: this and he knew that they could not land there, 1107 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 1: so he took over manual control of the lunar module 1108 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 1: and began guiding the module above the surface of the 1109 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,120 Speaker 1: Moon looking for a clear place to land, and so 1110 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 1: buzz Aldron is there and he's watching the fuel and 1111 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: calling out to Neil Armstrong about how much time they 1112 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 1: had left before they ran out of fuel. And I 1113 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: believe they sat down with about fifteen seconds worth of 1114 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: fuel left on the lunar module. I mean, it's one 1115 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: of the most arrowing stories about America's adventures in space 1116 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: that you will ever read and think about. That something 1117 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 1: goes wrong, that's it, it's over. You don't come back 1118 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 1: from those kind of mistakes. But Neil Armstrong did it 1119 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 1: as one of the greatest Americans to ever draw breath. 1120 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 1: And now we're in at a time when we have 1121 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: the Artemis two flight that is on its way to 1122 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 1: the Moon, and earlier tonight, the mission management team and 1123 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: NASA has a way. All you have to do is 1124 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 1: just just google NASA and it will take it to 1125 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: their website and you can read live mission updates on 1126 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: what is happening with Artemis two. And the mission management 1127 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 1: team pulled go earlier tonight and the Orion spacecraft fired 1128 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: its main engine for five minutes and fifty seconds beginning 1129 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: at seven forty nine pm Eastern time to successfully complete 1130 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: the translunar injection that is sending the crew in Orion. 1131 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: There are oreon i should say, out of Earth orbit 1132 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 1: and on a trajectory towards the Moon. The main engine 1133 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 1: provides up to six thousand pounds of thrust, enough to 1134 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: accelerate a car from zero to sixty in about two 1135 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: point seven seconds. At the time of the burn, Orion's 1136 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: mass was fifty eight thousand pounds, and they burned approximately 1137 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: one thousand pounds of fuel during the firing. So the 1138 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 1: crew members are in there, they're doing some exercises, and 1139 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 1: they talk about the flywheel exercise device they have on 1140 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: board to battle the effects of weightlessness. And I could 1141 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 1: go on, I could read this stuff, and I'll probably 1142 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: when I get out of here tonight, I'll probably go 1143 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: home and dial this up and read all the stuff 1144 00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 1: that I haven't read yet about the mission to orbit 1145 01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 1: the Moon. And one of the things I found interesting 1146 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 1: was that they are now working on a lunar targeting plan, 1147 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: a guide to what the crew will look at on 1148 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:20,800 Speaker 1: the Moon's surface during it's approximately six hour observation on Monday, 1149 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: so they'll be orbiting the Moon on Monday, and they're 1150 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 1: going to have a six hour observation period. I would 1151 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: have thought they would have had all that planned out 1152 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: by now, but apparently that plan is in the works, 1153 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 1: So they didn't plan everything ahead of time. And some 1154 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: of the stuff that they're doing by the seat of 1155 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 1: their pants, which you got to have. You got to 1156 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: give them credit. I'm sure they know exactly what they're doing. 1157 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Let's go to Jim and Amelia.

Yeah, 1199 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 6: you know, over the over the year. I mean, you know, 1200 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 6: it kind of started out with the whole uh Barack 1201 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 6: Obama treason thing. Uh, you know, they went by the wayside, James. 1202 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, why is there no reckoning on any of that. 1203 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that makes what what Obama did with Joe 1204 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Biden in attendance, what he did when it came to 1205 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 1: spying on the Trump campaign and when it continued to 1206 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 1: monitor the activities of Trump and his associates even after 1207 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: he was elected, makes Watergate look like a picnic, makes 1208 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:43,960 Speaker 1: it look like absolute child's play. This is a scandal 1209 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:51,320 Speaker 1: that that far outweighs whatever was done during Watergate. And 1210 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 1: of course our media has no curiosity about it, they 1211 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 1: have no intention to dig into it. But to my 1212 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: way of thinking, this is something that was under the 1213 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,959 Speaker 1: purview of Pam Bondi and she just let it sit there. 1214 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, think of how much lost time there is. 1215 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, by rights, Jase six and the 1216 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:16,720 Speaker 6: Biden's auto pen should have blown the left out of 1217 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 6: the water by now. I mean, uh, there's so much 1218 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 6: lost time and lost ground in this whole scenario. Yeah, 1219 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,439 Speaker 6: and again, like you already mentioned the uh the mid 1220 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 6: terms of if we lose that ground, I mean, we're 1221 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:34,720 Speaker 6: back to the whole impeachment thing again. And uh, we're 1222 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 6: you know, we're just walloween and the mere getting nowhere fast. 1223 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 1: That's what Nancy Pelosi said the other day that they 1224 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 1: they've are. This is how far ahead of the curve 1225 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:49,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats are. The moment if the if the Democrats 1226 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,880 Speaker 1: get back in control of the House, the moment that happens, 1227 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 1: impeachment proceedings are going to start and we're going to 1228 01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,919 Speaker 1: go through all this clown show yet again, absolutely unb 1229 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 1: leave them. 1230 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 6: Well her and Schumer are you know the damn or 1231 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 6: should say that damn duo when behind the scenes in 1232 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,800 Speaker 6: most of this stuff. And you know, I hate to 1233 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 6: give corredit where Krets do, but they keep they have 1234 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 6: a way of keep pulling pulling it off. 1235 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 1: Well, they're absolutely ruthless and they don't care. And that's 1236 01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: that's the way you have to be. And and with 1237 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: Republicans in charge, Republicans have yet to learn that lesson 1238 01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 1: that you have when you have the power, you have 1239 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: to be absolutely ruthless with it. And you have to 1240 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: press your advantage to the max because if you don't, 1241 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: if you give even the slightest opening to especially this 1242 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: group of Democrats that's up there on Capitol Hill, they're 1243 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,640 Speaker 1: going to make you pay for it, much to your regret. 1244 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,400 Speaker 1: And Mark, thank you very much for that call.

Mostly if you are a Rhino, then you you 1273 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: might say you backed Trump President Trump, but when it 1274 01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 1: comes to action, when it comes to demonstrating that support, 1275 01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:29,840 Speaker 1: you tend not to do that. 1276 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 3: So you're saying that rhinos do not support President Trump. 1277 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, That's what I'm saying about. Yeah, I'm saying that. 1278 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:37,960 Speaker 1: Why do you ask that? 1279 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 12: Okay, that's good, Okay that I just wanted to clarify that. 1280 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,520 Speaker 12: And the third one was concerned Pam Bondy. 1281 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 3: She got fired today? 1282 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1283 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 3: Was she fired because she didn't release the Epstein files. 1284 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure that had something. I'm sure. I'm not I 1285 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 1: don't want to say she got fired because she didn't 1286 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 1: release it, but I'm sure the way she handled the 1287 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: rollout of files has something to do with it. 1288 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 3: She was she was given a directive by President Trump 1289 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 3: to release the files on a certain date in December, 1290 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 3: and they're not yet released.

So if she hasn't released the files, is 1299 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 12: it because. 1300 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 3: President Trump is upset with her that she got fired. 1301 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: No, President Trump's he fired her.

And one of the things I talk 1314 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: about from time to time on this program is I 1315 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: don't talk a lot about the entertainment of this industry. 1316 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 1: I don't talk a lot about the movies, but when 1317 01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,600 Speaker 1: the subject comes up, I love to have on my 1318 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 1: buddy Steve Oldfield because I used to work with him 1319 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: at Fox nineteen. He was a movie critic back then. 1320 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: Now he makes his own documentaries and teaches about media 1321 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 1: and things like that over at Thomas Moore University and 1322 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Steve Oldfield, it's great to have you back on seven 1323 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 1: hundred WLW. 1324 01:09:58,640 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 3: Thank you. 1325 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 7: You know, usually the one who's assigning people articles to read, 1326 01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 7: and you did this to me. You said you're the 1327 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 7: teacher and I'm the student here. This was a heck 1328 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,920 Speaker 7: of an article and I think everybody who follows the 1329 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 7: media should read it. And all I can to say 1330 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 7: is I've seen this developing and boiling over for probably 1331 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 7: the last fifteen years or so, and it's just. 1332 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,520 Speaker 3: Gotten worse and worse. And you know, I didn't. 1333 01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:31,920 Speaker 7: Watch I watched twenty seconds of the Oscars Dan and 1334 01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 7: I turned it on and Harvey Javier Bardem was wearing 1335 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 7: this crazy homemade button about the war and started saying 1336 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 7: all this crazy stuff about Iran and I went click 1337 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 7: and I turned. 1338 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,000 Speaker 3: It off right away. 1339 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 7: And I realized, I'm glad I was a film critic 1340 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,680 Speaker 7: when I was, because now they would have thrown me 1341 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 7: out a long time ago, because you know, my politics 1342 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,680 Speaker 7: are so different. And they started excluding Fox people. I 1343 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 7: worked for a lot of Fox stations, and when I 1344 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,880 Speaker 7: was just easing out of it, I'll never forget it. 1345 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 7: Bet Middler's people came to me and they said, we 1346 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 7: know you've interviewed her five times before. She likes you 1347 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,599 Speaker 7: a lot, but she's not talking to Fox people love 1348 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 7: and same with Susan Sarandon and with Tim Robbins. And 1349 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 7: I don't even know if i'd get interviews today. And yeah, 1350 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 7: they've all lost their minds, is all you can say. 1351 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,920 Speaker 7: And there's such hatefulness. They're the party of hate, the 1352 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 7: Democrats are, and the Hollywood people are leading the way. 1353 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 7: They're the ones who are all part of the No 1354 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 7: King's protest and everything else, so they're never going to learn. 1355 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hollywood has serious financial issues right now, and the 1356 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,240 Speaker 1: vast majority of them are really self inflicted. I think 1357 01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: some of it. You can chalk up to the changing 1358 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 1: landscape with all the streaming services and people opting to 1359 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 1: watch movies at home and what happened during the Wuhan 1360 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:59,400 Speaker 1: and all that. But I still think that it's just 1361 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,680 Speaker 1: it's such a shame that we are losing that generational 1362 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 1: and almost universal love that Americans used to have for 1363 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,760 Speaker 1: American cinema. And I think it really it's it's just 1364 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: a shame that that's happening. And I think something that 1365 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,599 Speaker 1: ties into it. Steve Oldfield and I was talking about 1366 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 1: this during the last segment, is that and of course, 1367 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, we've got these astronauts on the way to 1368 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,479 Speaker 1: circle the moon right now. And I was reminiscing about 1369 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 1: when I was a kid and my parents always had 1370 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 1: Life magazine around the house, and Life magazine had extensive 1371 01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: coverage of NASA and the space race, and there was always, 1372 01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,839 Speaker 1: i mean, the extensive coverage of Mercury, of Gemini, of Apollo, 1373 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,439 Speaker 1: and the magazine was just chalk full of photo after 1374 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:53,240 Speaker 1: photo and story after story of the astronauts and how 1375 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,800 Speaker 1: it all worked and what NASA was doing. And look 1376 01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 1: at these amazing buildings and look at these amazing rockets. 1377 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 1: And all the technology that went with it. And I 1378 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 1: just remember spending hours sitting there on the floor of 1379 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:10,920 Speaker 1: our home and leafing through Life magazine after Life magazine, 1380 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:12,960 Speaker 1: and then going back to the older ones and looking 1381 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: at those over and over and over again. And I 1382 01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 1: think that was a shared experience that I had with 1383 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are the same ages as 1384 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 1: you and I, and I would imagine you might have 1385 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 1: had a similar experience, And so I sort of think 1386 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:34,320 Speaker 1: that's on the same wavelength as how this country back in, 1387 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, going all the way, you know, when even 1388 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: when talkie started, when we had those great movies in 1389 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties and forties and all the way up 1390 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,679 Speaker 1: through the seventies, that we all had those same sort 1391 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 1: of shared experiences around cinema and huge movies back in 1392 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 1: the day, and all that is being lost now, and 1393 01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: it's it really maybe it didn't have to happen this way. 1394 01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,080 Speaker 7: And I'll tell you when it really started for me, 1395 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,120 Speaker 7: when I first started noticing it. You talk about a 1396 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:07,519 Speaker 7: shared experience. There is a movie that I think is 1397 01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,640 Speaker 7: one of the greatest movies ever made. It was a 1398 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 7: Steven Spielberg film, and it was about saving Private Ryan. 1399 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 7: You remember that film. Everybody saw it. Guys loved it, 1400 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 7: women loved it. Everybody was in it, from Tom Hanks 1401 01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 7: and Matt Damon on down, and everybody tuned into the Oscars. 1402 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 7: In fact, I was invited to the Saving Private Ryan 1403 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 7: Oscar party with this girl who took me as her date. 1404 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,479 Speaker 7: And I was all excited. I thought, this is going 1405 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:36,719 Speaker 7: to be an awesome evening. 1406 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 3: And what happened. 1407 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 7: Harvey Weinstein, who's now in jail for all the horrible 1408 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 7: stuff you did to women in Hollywood, he bought the 1409 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 7: Oscar that year. They thought it would be better to 1410 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 7: give it to Shakespeare in Love, a film that made 1411 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 7: you know, a tenth of the money that people can 1412 01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,679 Speaker 7: share us about that one best picture, instead of Saving 1413 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:02,200 Speaker 7: Private Ryan and that Oscar party. Dan was like a wake. 1414 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 7: Spielberg was walking around shaking his head. I've never seen 1415 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 7: him look sad in his life, and he looked embarrassed 1416 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 7: and sad, and we were all and all the viewers 1417 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,000 Speaker 7: who turned tuned in expecting to see the movie that 1418 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,599 Speaker 7: they had watched win the Oscar, and and it didn't win. 1419 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 7: And a lot of times movies today, there was a 1420 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 7: great war movie three years ago that a buddy of 1421 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 7: mine dead, Rod Lorrie. It was called The Outpost and 1422 01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 7: it was about Afghanistan. 1423 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,720 Speaker 1: I saw that movie. That's really really. 1424 01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,760 Speaker 7: Good, brilliant film. Scott Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's son is in it, 1425 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 7: Orlando Bloom, heck of a cast, true story about all 1426 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 7: these Medal of Honor winners in this amazing, amazing, heartfelt movie. 1427 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 7: The only Oscar nomination it got was for the song, 1428 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,960 Speaker 7: and it was because Diane Warren did this really really 1429 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 7: depressing song and that got a nomination. But again, all 1430 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 7: you know, if you if you see two or three 1431 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,040 Speaker 7: movies at the box office a year and you think 1432 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 7: this one's great, and then you look at you watch 1433 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 7: the Oscars and it doesn't even show up. There's that 1434 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 7: disconnect between the Hollywood bubble and everybody else, and they 1435 01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 7: alienated all of us at one point or another because 1436 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 7: we thought this is a great movie and then it 1437 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 7: doesn't get any recognition. That's why the Oscar ratings were 1438 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 7: down nine percent this year. They keep dropping and pretty 1439 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 7: soon the Oscars are going to end up just being 1440 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 7: on YouTube or something. Networks aren't going to want to 1441 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 7: carry them because they're a money pit. 1442 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: Sure, and they look at those ratings and I'm sure 1443 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: they complain to someone when the numbers come in the 1444 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,360 Speaker 1: way they do. And these advertisers, they won't bang for 1445 01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 1: their buck, and there's no way they can be getting 1446 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 1: it with numbers like that. But this piece also goes 1447 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 1: on to talk about total shoot days in Los Angeles. Yes, 1448 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: went down twenty four percent, So in twenty twenty two 1449 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 1: they had a total of thirty seven thousand shoot days 1450 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,679 Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty five it went down from 1451 01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 1: thirty seven and twenty twenty two to less than twenty 1452 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 1: thousand in twenty twenty five. That is a huge drop off. 1453 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:16,120 Speaker 1: And they lost forty one thousand entertainment jobs in that 1454 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 1: same period of time. And even for a city as 1455 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,519 Speaker 1: big as Los Angeles, when you cut out forty one 1456 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,679 Speaker 1: thousand jobs in one particular industry, that's a pretty big number. 1457 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,920 Speaker 3: And we, you know, we always have to remember. 1458 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:35,200 Speaker 7: A lot of those jobs are regular family people who 1459 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 7: are craftsmen who work on these films, who are trying 1460 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 7: to raise kids. And it's not just all about the 1461 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 7: big Hollywood salaries, but there are a lot of families 1462 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 7: who are suffering from that. And yet yet they're idiot. 1463 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 7: Gavin Newsome governor still is the toast of Tinseltown, you know, 1464 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 7: and I just I don't get it. 1465 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,719 Speaker 1: And then there's another part of the piece that talks 1466 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: about Disney and how much money they're loose and they're losing. 1467 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 1: It seems like Disney is losing money at every single turn. 1468 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 1: And look, I know Disney is huge, and Disney just 1469 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,439 Speaker 1: has mountains and mountains of cash, but how long can 1470 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: Disney continue to to hemorrhage like this? And it doesn't 1471 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 1: seem to me. I think there may be a little 1472 01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 1: less woke than they were a couple of years ago. 1473 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: And they've sort of gotten away from, you know, in 1474 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:28,360 Speaker 1: Doctor Nady Kins into all the trans ideology and all 1475 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 1: the rest of it. So I think that's to their 1476 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 1: credit they've sort of gotten away from that. But still 1477 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,479 Speaker 1: on the woke scale, I think they're still pretty high 1478 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 1: up there. 1479 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,599 Speaker 7: Yes, it's too little, too late. They lost a billion 1480 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,760 Speaker 7: dollars between Disney and Marvel projects. Wow and here that 1481 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 7: and live action snow White should have been a slam dunk. 1482 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,640 Speaker 7: But what did they do? They say, hired a Latina 1483 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:54,120 Speaker 7: girl to play snow White and that ended up being 1484 01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 7: a huge, big, you know, controversy. They it's like they 1485 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,680 Speaker 7: work hard to make themselves lose money, right, It's like 1486 01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,320 Speaker 7: somebody has got to say, guys, average Americans are going 1487 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 7: to think this is a stupid decision. They're not going 1488 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,599 Speaker 7: to like this, they're not going to take their kids 1489 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 7: to it. But again, they're in that bubble and they 1490 01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 7: don't realize it. And I'll tell you another real problem, Dan, 1491 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 7: and I've experienced this firsthand the Sundance people. And Sundance 1492 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 7: is where Quentin Tarantino got his big break with a 1493 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,920 Speaker 7: movie called Reservoir Dogs. A lot of big directors have 1494 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 7: cut their teeth at Sundance and that's kind of made 1495 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 7: their career. 1496 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 3: Do you know. Sundance has a screenwriting lab. 1497 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 7: Where they help you young writers. They craft the script 1498 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,679 Speaker 7: and if you get in the screenwriting lab, you're probably 1499 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,920 Speaker 7: going to get into the festival. Your whole career is 1500 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 7: going to be made as far as they and they 1501 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,479 Speaker 7: ask you. Because I've applied to Sundance several times for 1502 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,480 Speaker 7: my documentaries. They ask you on the application for a documentary. 1503 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 7: They don't care about like how did you make it 1504 01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 7: or what did you do? They want to know you 1505 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 7: identify as gay, bisexual, three fans. It's actually one of 1506 01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 7: the questions on the form that you have to fill out, 1507 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 7: And the first time I entered, I was like, this 1508 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 7: is both you know, you know I'm not going to 1509 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 7: answer this. 1510 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: Well, don't they have that same Don't they have that 1511 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,600 Speaker 1: same sort of criteria now for films that get nominated 1512 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,240 Speaker 1: for the Big Awards for Best Picture, Yes, that's got 1513 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,200 Speaker 1: to have X number number. Yeah, go ahead, you. 1514 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 7: Tell me what, Yeah, yeah, it's I think it's I 1515 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:32,679 Speaker 7: want to say it's got to be at least twenty 1516 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,840 Speaker 7: to thirty percent have to be minority people in the film. 1517 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 7: But at Sundance in the screenwriting lab, one in one 1518 01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 7: in ten people in the lab are are white men. 1519 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:48,840 Speaker 7: And and they're purposely shutting out people like you and me. 1520 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 7: They don't care about the project. They just care about 1521 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 7: virtue signaling and saying isn't it wonderful that we have 1522 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,400 Speaker 7: all these minority women writing their scripts. All you have 1523 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 7: to do is look at PBS and watch PBS on 1524 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,599 Speaker 7: a given night and see if there's any stories about 1525 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:10,639 Speaker 7: any people who aren't marginalized communities as they would call it, right, 1526 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 7: And and I'm not saying that there isn't a place 1527 01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 7: for those sorts of films and those sorts of projects. 1528 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 7: Everybody deserves a voice. But when you're purposely shutting out 1529 01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:26,400 Speaker 7: the mainstream and the largest audience to prove a point, 1530 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,080 Speaker 7: good luck, good luck trying to make it. 1531 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1532 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,720 Speaker 1: And then I look at the headline today on Hollywood 1533 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 1: and Toto, and I see the number one movie in 1534 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 1: the country is Super Mario Galaxy. So we've had all 1535 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 1: these pictures, you know, based on Suit, on Marvel, on 1536 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 1: comic books, and now the number one picture in the 1537 01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:49,519 Speaker 1: country is based on a video game. 1538 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, I will tell you the Oscar 1539 01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,719 Speaker 7: winner this year was by a guy I actually walked 1540 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 7: out of his movie called Magnolia when I was a critic. 1541 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,280 Speaker 7: I thought it was one of the weirdest worst films 1542 01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 7: I've ever seen in my life. To his credit, he 1543 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 7: did Boogie Knights, which I loved with That was one 1544 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,360 Speaker 7: of Mark Wahlberg's first movies. 1545 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was It was a movie. 1546 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 7: That was about basically a government that was all white supremacists, 1547 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 7: and it was too you know, all about immigration controlling 1548 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,599 Speaker 7: and it was called one Battle after another and that 1549 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 7: one Best Picture but when they did, when they did 1550 01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 7: the math on the film in this article, that movie. 1551 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 3: Lost one hundred million dollars. 1552 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 7: Nobody went to see it, nobody cared about it, and 1553 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 7: yet everybody in Hollywood voted. 1554 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,040 Speaker 3: It as the best picture of the year. 1555 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 1: Boogie Knight's great work by Burt Reynolds in that movie awesome. 1556 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 3: So I agree. I interviewed him for that movie. 1557 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,760 Speaker 7: And that there's a scene in that movie where he's 1558 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,519 Speaker 7: in the kitchen with Mark Wahlberg and they're trying to 1559 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 7: figure each other out. 1560 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 3: That's to me one. 1561 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 7: Of the great scenes of the last forty years. And 1562 01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 7: Reynolds killed it in that movie. I agree. So Paul 1563 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,960 Speaker 7: Thomas isn't an idiot. He's done some great films, but 1564 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 7: you know, to do this film, but then where the 1565 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 7: government's all white supremacist and you know, it's just and 1566 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 7: that's what Hollywood thinks is the. 1567 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,719 Speaker 3: One to pick. I just it's just. 1568 01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:15,599 Speaker 7: They've done it to themselves, is all. 1569 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 3: You can say. 1570 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at this, I've found another piece of 1571 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 1: Something else I wanted to throw at you was Meryl 1572 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Streep was on with Stephen Colbert last night and she 1573 01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,719 Speaker 1: comes out there and she starts talking about how Donald 1574 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't want women to vote, and it starts going 1575 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,719 Speaker 1: on about the Same America Act and all this other stuff, 1576 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 1: And I think to myself, look, look, Johnny Carson would 1577 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 1: have gladly had Meryl Streep on his show. Do you 1578 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: think they would have sat there and talked about Ronald 1579 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:52,519 Speaker 1: Reagan doesn't want this to happen, or Richard Nixon is 1580 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,920 Speaker 1: a jerk? Or do you think Johnny Carson would have 1581 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,599 Speaker 1: wasted her time and wasted the time of his audience 1582 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 1: having Meryl Street talk about the politics of the day. 1583 01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 7: You know, it's so funny you say that I am 1584 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,719 Speaker 7: like ten years behind the technology that all my friends. 1585 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 7: I finally got a TV that has Roku and I 1586 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:18,320 Speaker 7: started watching. There's a whole channel for Johnny Carson, and 1587 01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 7: I watched, I binge watched like four hours of it. 1588 01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 1: How about that It's easy to go down that rabbit hole, 1589 01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 1: isn't it? 1590 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 7: Oh my gosh. But you're exactly right. 1591 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 3: And that was his rule. 1592 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 7: He didn't want to talk politics, and he was classy 1593 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,479 Speaker 7: and he was funny. And I will tell you I 1594 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:36,800 Speaker 7: was telling my students the other day, we're doing a 1595 01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 7: whole thing on the Olympics and Olympic coverage, and I 1596 01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 7: showed him, I said, you need to see the guy 1597 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,599 Speaker 7: who was my hero as a kid. And of course 1598 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,760 Speaker 7: it was Bruce Jenner who wanted decathlon and I showed 1599 01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,320 Speaker 7: him the Wheaties commercial. And what's been really hard for 1600 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 7: me over the last couple of years is all of 1601 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 7: our heroes, the coolest guys we thought were the greatest 1602 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 7: white guys in America, right hip all turned woke and crazy. 1603 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,800 Speaker 7: And now, to his credit, Bruce Jenner, yes he's a woman, 1604 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 7: but he's a little more conservative. 1605 01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 3: But think about. 1606 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:12,200 Speaker 7: Bruce Springsteen, who was cooler than Bruce Springsteen. And now 1607 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,679 Speaker 7: I would I wouldn't go to a Bruce Springsteen concert. 1608 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,519 Speaker 7: If he played outside my house, I would flip him 1609 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,800 Speaker 7: off and I'd close the blind and I wouldn't even 1610 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:23,479 Speaker 7: walk outside my front door to see Bruce Springsteen. Whereas 1611 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,679 Speaker 7: you know, fifteen twenty years ago, I would have paid 1612 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:28,600 Speaker 7: three hundred bucks to go to see his concert in 1613 01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,000 Speaker 7: Jersey when I lived in Jersey. 1614 01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: Did you see the way did you say the way 1615 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: Trump blasted Bruce Springsteen on his on his true social No?

Probably not a good idea to talk 1629 01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,680 Speaker 7: about this, but they think that they're bulletproof and they're not. 1630 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,920 Speaker 1: All right, Well, Steve Oldfield, I love having you on, brother, 1631 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for the time we got to run. 1632 01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, though, okay, before I let 1633 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 1: you go. I read a little rumor the other day 1634 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 1: that Quentin Tarantino was toying with the idea of making 1635 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,880 Speaker 1: another film, which I would love for that to happen. 1636 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,120 Speaker 1: Do you think any of that is true? 1637 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 7: I wouldn't be surprised. I think he is. He has 1638 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 7: more energy than anybody I've ever met. I can't imagine 1639 01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 7: him not wanting to make something else. 1640 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:00,680 Speaker 10: I have a. 1641 01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 7: Feeling it's true. He's going to be like all those 1642 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 7: bands who do the farewell tour and then they do 1643 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:06,719 Speaker 7: another one. 1644 01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:08,680 Speaker 3: Ten years later. I think it's the same kind of 1645 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 3: a thing. 1646 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 7: He's like the Doobie Brothers. Remember how many goodbye tours 1647 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 7: the Doobie Brothers have done. 1648 01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw I saw the Doobie Brothers a couple 1649 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 1: of years ago river from I think they're coming back 1650 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,160 Speaker 1: again this year. So yeah, they're still out there. Yeah, 1651 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,040 Speaker 1: all right, Steve Oldfield, we got to run with. Thank 1652 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,559 Speaker 1: you so much. I appreciate it. Then take care of 1653 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,719 Speaker 1: yourself and tell your mom, I said, I all right, 1654 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,599 Speaker 1: I will, Thanks, thank you, Steve. All right, Steve Oldfield. 1655 01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 1: Now he is the absolute best. Eleven twenty seven, little 1656 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 1: late for a break on seven hundred WS and the 1657 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:43,639 Speaker 1: Trump orbit who is more hated by the left than 1658 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Steven Miller. He is the White House Deputy Chief of 1659 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:56,920 Speaker 1: Staff for Policy and Homeland Security. And I listened to 1660 01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: this guy, and I think, how much better off would 1661 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: he be? Members of Congress, members of the Senate. Those 1662 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:08,879 Speaker 1: in the House fought along the same lines and acted 1663 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:12,639 Speaker 1: along the same lines as this guy did. He is 1664 01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 1: just unbelievably smart and ruthless when it comes to dealing 1665 01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 1: with those on the left, and he does so unapologetically, 1666 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: and he does so with great vigor. Here he was 1667 01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 1: at the White House Press briefing room talking about the 1668 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,960 Speaker 1: reforms that they are going to bring to us education. 1669 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:43,120 Speaker 1: And this is Stephen Miller at his absolute best. Russe, 1670 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:44,240 Speaker 1: let's here cut number two. 1671 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 9: Children will be taught to love America. Children will be 1672 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 9: taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values 1673 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 9: for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. 1674 01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,520 Speaker 1: So as we close the Department of Education and we provide. 1675 01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,400 Speaker 9: Funding to states, are going to make sure that these 1676 01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:04,880 Speaker 9: funds are not being used to promote communist ideology. For 1677 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 9: any nation to be successful, it cannot teach its children 1678 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 9: to hate themselves and to hate their country. So these 1679 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 9: are a few of the areas in which President Trump 1680 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:18,240 Speaker 9: has fought the cancerous communist, woke culture that was destroying 1681 01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 9: this country. Where we led to believe that men were women, 1682 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,720 Speaker 9: that women were men. The racial discrimination was good, that 1683 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:30,320 Speaker 9: merit was bad. And that safety and physical security matter 1684 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,760 Speaker 9: less than the feelings of liberal ideologues. 1685 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:39,400 Speaker 1: How much truth is there and what Stephen Miller just said, 1686 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 1: and how much think about that? What he said in 1687 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 1: the very beginning, We're going to teach kids to love America, 1688 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 1: about the greatness of America, about civic responsibility. Think about 1689 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: those ideas and how basic those ideas And maybe some 1690 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 1: of you listening to me right now, we're brought up 1691 01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 1: with those kind of values. When you were young, and 1692 01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 1: you were in school, and you stood up every day 1693 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:12,320 Speaker 1: and you pledged allegiance to the flag, you put your 1694 01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:14,800 Speaker 1: hand over your heart, there was a flag in the classroom, 1695 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:20,760 Speaker 1: and maybe an announcement came over the PA system and 1696 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,960 Speaker 1: the pledge of allegiance was read for the entire school 1697 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,719 Speaker 1: to recite every day. How many schools do that now? 1698 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:35,519 Speaker 1: How many leftists and communists teaching our kids now would 1699 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:41,040 Speaker 1: abide such a thing? They wouldn't. And Stephen Miller knows 1700 01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:46,719 Speaker 1: that the left absolutely hates these ideas, but he goes 1701 01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:51,479 Speaker 1: out there loud, proud, and sassy and tells the left 1702 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:58,519 Speaker 1: exactly what the Trump administration plans to do. And so 1703 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:02,360 Speaker 1: Trump is going to shut down the Department of Education 1704 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: changed the way schools are funded in this country. Cut 1705 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:11,520 Speaker 1: out all the nonsense, especially all this transgender ultra wokism 1706 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:16,000 Speaker 1: and communist nonsense that is being taught to our kids. 1707 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:23,240 Speaker 1: And you know the left just hates that. So every 1708 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: chance I get to play a SoundBite from Steven Miller, 1709 01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 1: I am going to do it. CNN has been taking 1710 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,840 Speaker 1: a lot of polls lately. They put out a poll 1711 01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:40,720 Speaker 1: a few days ago that showed Trump had one hun 1712 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 1: support amongst those who consider themselves MEGA. I had some 1713 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 1: idiot on the phone earlier tonight asking me what a 1714 01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:56,520 Speaker 1: rhino meant, and I said, rhino stands for urn Republican 1715 01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:01,879 Speaker 1: in name only. And there are far too any Rhinos 1716 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:05,639 Speaker 1: in positions where they can stab Trump in the back. 1717 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,719 Speaker 1: They may go on TV, they may run for election, 1718 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,640 Speaker 1: claim that they're Republicans, claim that they support Trump, but 1719 01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:16,600 Speaker 1: when the rubber hits the road, well they do no 1720 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 1: such thing. They do just the exact opposite. They stick 1721 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:25,599 Speaker 1: the knife in the back and they twist. But amongst MEGA, 1722 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 1: amongst people who really support Trump, he's got one hundred puport. 1723 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 1: How about the Democrats, How do the Democrats feel about 1724 01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 1: Democrat leadership. Well, CNN did a poll on it, and 1725 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 1: here's the guy from CNN cut fur. What's overall approofal 1726 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: among Democrats of their leaders? 1727 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, okay, so you know you speak about Democrat on 1728 01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:50,680 Speaker 13: Democrat crime, and I want to know how unusual what 1729 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,880 Speaker 13: we're seeing right now about how Democrats feel about Democrats 1730 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 13: in Congress is take a look at this. This is 1731 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,679 Speaker 13: a trend line going back through the years a midterm 1732 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 13: elections in which there's a g GOP president. Look at this. 1733 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:04,600 Speaker 13: In two thousand and six, DEM's net approval of congressional 1734 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,240 Speaker 13: Democratic leaders was plus twenty eight. You go back to 1735 01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 13: last midterm, look at that plus nineteen. Very much on 1736 01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:13,439 Speaker 13: the positive side, Lodge, the bottom has fallen out. The 1737 01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:18,760 Speaker 13: bottom has fallen out minus four points. That is Democrats Democrats' 1738 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:23,360 Speaker 13: own net approval of their own congressional leaders. Even Democrats 1739 01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 13: don't like their own leaders when it comes to Congress. 1740 01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,879 Speaker 13: And overall, of course, the numbers are just absolutely awful. 1741 01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:32,880 Speaker 13: So Democrat and Democrat crime absolutely. This to me screams 1742 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 13: again primary challenges across the map, and it screams to me, hey, 1743 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,759 Speaker 13: when it comes to those next leadership elections, maybe something 1744 01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 13: might be chooking was overall approval among. 1745 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:47,000 Speaker 1: Them, Maybe something might be cooking. Democrats are fed up 1746 01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:52,960 Speaker 1: with Democrat leaders, and who can blame them one Democrat leader? 1747 01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,600 Speaker 1: And look when you go back and you look at 1748 01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,200 Speaker 1: what the Demo and Chris from Westchester is on hold, 1749 01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to get to him in just a minute. 1750 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 1: But when you go back and you look at what 1751 01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:08,840 Speaker 1: Democrats we're saying about immigration, especially about immigration. You've got 1752 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:12,799 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton talking about illegal aliens, how we can't continue 1753 01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:16,080 Speaker 1: to let them come in. They ed Chuck Schumer talking 1754 01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,120 Speaker 1: about illegals, how they suck the life out of the 1755 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:26,400 Speaker 1: healthcare system. Barack Obama illegal aliens. You can't have a 1756 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,360 Speaker 1: country that's serious about borders you continue to let illegal 1757 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:37,160 Speaker 1: aliens in. We had the Supreme Court arguments yesterday about 1758 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:41,439 Speaker 1: the Trump executive order that sought to ban the notion 1759 01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:45,639 Speaker 1: of birthright citizenship. That if you are from another country 1760 01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 1: and you're in this country illegally, you come into this 1761 01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:53,439 Speaker 1: country and you give birth to a kid, that kid 1762 01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,960 Speaker 1: does not get automatic citizenship just because you happen to 1763 01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 1: be in the United States of America. If you are 1764 01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:05,559 Speaker 1: in this country illegally, you cannot give birth to a 1765 01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 1: legal citizen. That's not my idea. That was the idea 1766 01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 1: of a Democrat, a leading Democrat, Harry Reid. Rush Limbaugh 1767 01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 1: used to call him dirty Harry. But here's Harry Reid 1768 01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:26,360 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three talking about birth rights, citizenship, the 1769 01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 1: argument we just had in the Supreme Court yesterday. Listen 1770 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,599 Speaker 1: to Harry Reid from nineteen ninety three. Russ Cutt Number one. 1771 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,080 Speaker 14: If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, 1772 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,840 Speaker 14: how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant? 1773 01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 1: No same country would do that. 1774 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:45,920 Speaker 7: Right. 1775 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,599 Speaker 14: Yes, again, if you break our laws by entering this 1776 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 14: country without permission and give birth to a child, we 1777 01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 14: reward that child with US citizenship and guarantee of full 1778 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,880 Speaker 14: access to all public and social services this society provides. 1779 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,799 Speaker 14: And that's a lot of services. Is it any wonder 1780 01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 14: that two thirds of the babies born at tax for 1781 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 14: expensive country county run hospitals in Los Angeles are born 1782 01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 14: to illegal alien mothers. Just when the American people think 1783 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:22,320 Speaker 14: nothing can be more absurd than the way we deal, 1784 01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,439 Speaker 14: or rather don't deal with illegal immigration, they discover that 1785 01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:29,559 Speaker 14: we have a political asylum system that would qualify us 1786 01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 14: for Senator Proxmeyer's Golden Fleece Award a thousand times over. 1787 01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,240 Speaker 14: I don't know why he didn't make this award. 1788 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: He should have so Chris in Westchester, there's Harry Reid 1789 01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, and at a time like that, 1790 01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:52,840 Speaker 1: it would have been possible for Republicans and Democrats to 1791 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 1: find common ground on such issues. But these days it 1792 01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the issue is. If it is something 1793 01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 1: that Trump is in favor of, Democrats will oppose it 1794 01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:06,639 Speaker 1: without question. 1795 01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, because Trump is in favor of it, he could 1796 01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 5: have made Jesus Christ put him in Miller's position, doctor man, 1797 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:21,840 Speaker 5: they would disagree with Jesus okay, just because Trump is 1798 01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 5: the guy who did it. You know, they have this 1799 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,559 Speaker 5: whole TDS Trump to raise in syndrome, and that's just 1800 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:28,439 Speaker 5: not going to go away till the man who's out office, 1801 01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:31,639 Speaker 5: and I think even twenty years afterwards, they're still gonna 1802 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:34,040 Speaker 5: be piling on the poor guy. But the face of 1803 01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:34,639 Speaker 5: the matter. 1804 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:38,679 Speaker 3: Is, Miller said nothing that was untrue. Name one thing. 1805 01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:42,599 Speaker 5: I want. I want a Democrat to literally discount anything 1806 01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,840 Speaker 5: that man just said, because what everything he said is 1807 01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,720 Speaker 5: one hundred percent true, and it can be proven. And 1808 01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:52,240 Speaker 5: the fights of the matter is they don't care. They're 1809 01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,080 Speaker 5: in such a bubble now, buddy, that they just don't 1810 01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 5: care anymore. And that's what that's why I was calling earlier. 1811 01:37:58,520 --> 01:37:59,840 Speaker 5: I was trying to get on with you when you 1812 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,920 Speaker 5: the guy about the box.

Don't care about them. 1816 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,320 Speaker 5: They don't affect my life in any way. I don't 1817 01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,960 Speaker 5: use apps. I don't look at the if I need something. 1818 01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:16,920 Speaker 5: I just asked my wife.
