1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: All right, Bubo eight, on this chilling Thursday. 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: Someday, some way we will get warm again and some 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: of this monstrosity of a snowfall will leave us, but 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: not on this day. And so you've chosen the best 5 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: place to spend this day, and that's inside hopefully listening 6 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: to us and carrying you through this early part of 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: the afternoon. It is the It is the average American 8 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: and for the great American. So much to get to today. 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: Story that broke yesterday that might have gotten lost in 10 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 2: a lot of the verbiage and a lot of the 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: talking about things like the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother. 12 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: We'll get into that later on in the show or 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: the super Bowl or whatever it may be. There was 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: a seismic occurrence yesterday in the world of journalism. For 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: all intents and purposes, the Washington Post went out of 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: business yesterday. It laid off about three hundred employees. It 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: completely wiped out its sports department. Other things too, were eviscerated, 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: like its metropolitan news coverage and its international news coverage. 19 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 2: This is ten amount to General Motors shutting down and 20 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: no longer participating in the car industry, or maybe the 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox going out of business and no longer 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: a part of Major League Baseball. This was a big deal, 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: But the bigger deal is why did it happen? Why 24 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: did it happen? This cited as one of the newspapers 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: of record along with the New York Times. New York 26 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: Times is about to go through something like this as well, 27 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: but perhaps not as traumatic as what happened to three 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: hundred people that work for the Washington Post. Why did 29 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: it happen? Is it simply the shifting world in what 30 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: we live in. You know, there is nothing more transitory 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: in life than the tale to the American public, and 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: the American public has been shifting away from traditional media 33 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: more and more, and lately a lot more and more 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: to independent journalists. People, it seems like, don't want information anymore. 35 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: They want affirmation, someone that tells them but what they 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: believe is exactly right. And that's a dangerous business for 37 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: people that are in the business of traditional media. But 38 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: yet that's where they are. As people trust the media, 39 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: the traditional media less and less, they go to other sources. 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: I don't have to tell my next guest this. He 41 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: lived it, he knows it. Tommy Cummings has worked in 42 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: a lot of different publications, great newspapers, the Chicago Tribune, 43 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: the Detroit Free Press. He worked in Baltimore at the 44 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: Baltimore Sun, in Orlando, in Pittsburgh, and in the Dallas 45 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: Fort Worth area. And it's great to have him join 46 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: us here now to talk about, in essence, the death 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: of the Washington Post and Tom coming. 48 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: How are you on this glorious day. 49 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: I'm great, Thank you. I kind of want to make 50 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: a correction there. My stories appeared in those papers. I 51 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: worked at the Dallas Morning News. Oh, okay, Star Telegram, 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: but I worked metro newsrooms that were some of the 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: largest and I've seen a lot of changes over the years. 54 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: San Francisco Chronicle. I believe you worked there too, right, Oh, yes. 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: The San Francisco Chronicle. You know, journalists sometimes take a 56 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: coastal adventure, and I ended up out there for a 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: couple of years and it was fun, but I missed 58 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: I missed Texas. Yeah, I came back. 59 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: Well. 60 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: I took a coastal adventure back in the nineties and 61 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: I went to work in Washington, d c. For a 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: television station out there, and it was interesting, and of 63 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: course the Washington Post was in its heyday back then, 64 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: still feeling the effects of the whole Watergate story and whatnot. 65 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: But media change over the course of time, didn't it, Tommy. 66 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: No longer do we wait for the quote unquote bulldog 67 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: edition of a newspaper at ten am or ten pm 68 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: the night before. We get our information instantaneously, and newspapers 69 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: put out stories of great interest throughout the course of 70 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: a day. In television stations don't make you wait around 71 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: anymore for the six o'clock news or the eleven o'clock news. 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: I think that played a large part in what is 73 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: happening now to some legacy media. You mentioned your story 74 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: has appeared in all of these newspapers. One of those 75 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: newspapers was the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, and they're shuttering their 76 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: doors in May. They're completely out of business. But that's 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: just a sign of the times, is it not? 78 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: It is? 79 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's I hate to say it, it's progression. 80 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 4: It's the way the evolution. 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: You know, we talk about cars, how they've evolved over 82 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: you know, one hundred or so years, and you know, 83 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: going from a horse to horseless carriage now to some 84 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 3: of the most amazing you know, cars out there. So 85 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: it's a matter of what you know, it's public craves, 86 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: and in the case of the Washington Post, it's just 87 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: it's just a shame if you hate to hear it. 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 3: It was a downer of a day yesterday when I 89 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 3: heard about it. A lot of my friends who worked 90 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: there were affected. And you know, you know, just shutting 91 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: down an entire newspapers sports section, which you know, I 92 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: did a lot of work in sports sections in Dallas 93 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: and Fort Worth in San Francisco. 94 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: I just I can't see how that happens. I know 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: why it happens. It's just like shutting down the wing 96 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 4: of a museum. I think it's just it's just it's horrible. 97 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but this paper was hemorrhaging money. I mean, Jeff Bezos. 98 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: We can probably spend the next week talking about the 99 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 2: pros and cons of Jeff Bezos. One thing he is 100 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: not stupid about is his money. He made a lot 101 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: of money in his time. And if this thing is 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: is is hemorrhaging one hundred million dollars a year, Well, 103 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: this is the United States of America is, and it, Tommy, 104 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 2: is the free enterprise system. If it's not making money. 105 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: Why should even a multi billionaire decide to keep throwing 106 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars a year into something that's not working. 107 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: It's not kind of how it works. And I would 108 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: imagine that he bought the post thinking Okay, I can 109 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: make this work, but he got in there and he 110 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: probably I can't make this work. And I'm certainly not 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 2: going to spend one hundred million dollars of my money 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: every year for something that is simply unworkable. So sure, 113 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he was probably the bad guy yesterday, But 114 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 2: if you stopped back a step back, a couple of feet, 115 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: and you look at it from maybe a global perspective, 116 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: the guy has no obligation to keep throwing good money 117 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: after bad, does he. 118 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 4: No? And you know, I. 119 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 3: Heard something on TV yesterday about how billionaires don't mind 120 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: losing money because you know they can write it off 121 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: and they can, they can, they can claim losses. But 122 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: to me, I think the biggest, biggest disaster and all 123 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: this is the tarnishing of a brand. You know, the 124 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 3: Wasshing Post has done nationally, it's had you know, it's 125 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: broken millions of stories and you know they've got pool 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: of surprises everywhere, and that's what really hurts, because you know, 127 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: the people who are being laid off, you'll find the 128 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: land elsewhere. 129 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: You know, the the. 130 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: You know, there's other outlets called it, like The Atlantic, 131 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: the New Yorker and the Vandy Fair and the Daily 132 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: Beast and Wired and. 133 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: Bucks and on and on. 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: They're picking up a lot of these displaced journalists and 135 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: they're becoming stronger, so they become a little moware of 136 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: an editorial brand at the expense of the Western Post. 137 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: When I was in Washington and you know, the Post 138 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: would arrive at our television station. Like I said, the 139 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: early edition in newspaper terms years ago, probably longer than 140 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: you've been in the business. 141 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: But it was called the Bulldog Edition. 142 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: You know, it came out it was Tomorrow's news tonight, and. 143 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: I read it because it was it was. It was 144 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: a great newspaper. 145 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: It had sports columnists that were just outstanding people like 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon. There were there were others too. 147 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: Tom Boswell wrote for that. John the late John Feinstein 148 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: wrote for that newspaper. They were they were serious guys 149 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: that were taking on serious topics, as was the news division. 150 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: But I just think that. 151 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: It lost its way, and I think it lost its 152 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: way long before Jeff Bezos showed up on the scene. 153 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: And we can we can debate whether or not journalism 154 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: by its very nature is liberal or not. But I 155 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: do think that it was the posts that I have seen, 156 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: the post that I subscribe to online is leaving out 157 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: a large section of the United States that may not 158 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 2: be leaning liberal, but want to see good journalism about everything, 159 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: whether it is their book club or whether it is 160 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: their sports, well, whether it is what's going on which 161 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: I still love a keen interest in in in the 162 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: metropolitan Washington, DC area. I think it's I think it 163 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: lost its way in the last fifteen years. Am I 164 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: being too hard here? Or am I right? 165 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 4: I think you're right to an extent. 166 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,119 Speaker 3: But I do believe that the you know, the digital 167 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: age has caused a lot of hand ringing and the 168 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: experimentation that's worked or not worked, and a lot of that. 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 3: You know, when you make those kind of experiments, that 170 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: takes a lot of capital to make those things work, 171 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: and you know, you make mistake and you lost millions 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: and you may have a success, you've gained millions but 173 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 3: sometimes those successes are fleeting. So there's a lot of 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: inroads made on you know, personalizing editorial content to audiences. 175 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: I myself was on the audience team at the Dallas 176 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: Winning News and our job was to find who's going 177 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: to read this story and how are we going to. 178 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 4: Get it to them? And they you know, the the 179 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 4: thought is. 180 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: That, you know, page views and and clickbait bring in readers. 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 3: They don't, but they bring in momentary readers. But the 182 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: biggest thing is you've got to establish that brand and 183 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: bring them into your you know it, bring them into 184 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: your content, and then at that point, let's decide if 185 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 3: they want to subscribe. That was known as that it's 186 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 3: a success where I worked that the more subscribers you've 187 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: brought in, the better the health of the newspaper. 188 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 4: And that's the New York Times. Does that? I know 189 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: that that was Morning News? Does that? 190 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: I was right at the you know, the nexus of that. 191 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: So it's a it's a very strategic thing. People are 192 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 3: going to newsletters, they're going to AI, and newspapers are 193 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,359 Speaker 3: leveraging AI to cover things that they're not able. 194 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: To get to. 195 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, you AI has had a 196 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: bad name in terms of news outlets. 197 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 4: But I think every. 198 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 3: Day the machine learning mechanics of AI is catching up, 199 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: and I think it'll help. It can't replace humans, because 200 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: there's humans who have to curate all this stuff and aggregate. 201 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: So I don't know, it's just a fine to find 202 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: the right hit the sweet spots all this new technology. 203 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: But I think the days of using your website, if you're, 204 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: for example, the Cincinnati Inquirer, using your website to then 205 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: have people go and buy an actual physical copy of 206 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: the paper, I think those days are gone with the wind. 207 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: I mean all the places that they sell the Inquirer 208 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: the hard copy of it in this town. I'll walk 209 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: into and I'll see it in the morning, and I'll 210 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: walk into the same place maybe the next morning, and 211 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: it's still papers from the day before are still sitting there. 212 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: I just I think physically picking up a newspaper anymore 213 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: that you did when you were a kid, and I 214 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: did when I was a kid. I don't think those 215 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: days are coming back. As we get, as we get 216 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: an older society, in other words, as you and as 217 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: I we we progress into our fifties and our sixties 218 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 2: and our seventies, well, that's great. Maybe we still do it, 219 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: but the forty and thirty and twenty crowd, they're not 220 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: doing that. So I think there are a lot of 221 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: these these these these outlets, local and national, that are 222 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: adrift on how to get people to consume their product. 223 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. Clicks don't mean anything other than okay, 224 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: maybe there's somebody out there that realizes we exist. But 225 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 2: I've yet to have anybody tell me how that translates 226 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 2: into some sort of monetary compensation for the paper and 227 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: in actuality the employee have you. 228 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,359 Speaker 3: Well, at the morning News, it was known as conversions, 229 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: and the it was like a tally board of what 230 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: you wrote, you know, that day or the previous day 231 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: on how many conversions you got. And in my case, 232 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: I covered arts and entertainment for North Texas. 233 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: I was a breaking news reporter, and you know. 234 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: A lot of my content would always be you know, 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: I'll give about you know, post Malone, Shaquille neil Uh 236 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 3: stuff that you know I was urgitating day after day. 237 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: And but you know, I was one of the leaders 238 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: in conversions for the paper, as was our food editor 239 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: who wrote about food issues and food news in North 240 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: Texas and our real estate reporter who wrote about development, 241 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 3: and they were right there too with me with all 242 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: the conversions. I mean, I wasn't the leader, but I 243 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 3: had you know, these other two were very strong. So 244 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: the idea was, you're kind of paying your way there 245 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: if you can, you can do these stories that have 246 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 3: conversion ability. But at the same time, the paper was 247 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: doing you know, investigative work and day to day journalism, 248 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: you know, boots on the ground type of reporting. 249 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: So it was all there. It's just a component of 250 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 4: it that was that I had to do. 251 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: That was a little different for me because I started 252 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: my career in the late seventies and here here I 253 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 3: am watching metrics on how my content is performing. And 254 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 3: you know, it was not distasteful, it was just different. 255 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: Apparently I did not know this until you and I 256 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: spoke yesterday or exchanged emails, that you and I worked 257 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: in Tulsa at the same time. 258 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: Right you were at the World, I. 259 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 3: Was at the Actually I've worked part time at the World, 260 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 3: but I worked full time at the Tribune. We probably 261 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: we probably know a lot of people in common. And 262 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: you know, Oklahoma was you know, I was adopted and 263 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 3: I wound up in Oklahoma and I spent my form 264 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: of years there, included my journalism career, and so I 265 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: eventually went to Texas. And anyway, I do you remember 266 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: you on the sports on the Sports channel eight? 267 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: Yeah? 268 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: I know it's channel six, So we wish we were 269 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: channel eight. They were number one by by a country mile, 270 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: but no, always channel six. But you know, and these 271 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: names mean nothing to to anyone here in Cincinnati, but 272 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: it illustrates what we're talking about. The Tribune had two 273 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: great writers. They had a columnist named Bob Hartzell who 274 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: it was must read every single day, and they had 275 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: a boy he was a pain in the butt for 276 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people that were in the sports world 277 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: out there. But they had a guy named Bruce Schoenfeld 278 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: who was a tremendous sports feat reporter, covered the soccer 279 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: team which was new out there, and various other things. 280 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: But my point in all that is is if you 281 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: give people a reason to read, people will read. This 282 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: town at one point, believe it or not, had not 283 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: one but two sports colonnists working for the Inquirer. They 284 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: have a very good one now, but he was somebody 285 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: who covered politics. Now he covers sports and does it 286 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: very well. But a lot of the legacy names that 287 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Inquirer had over time are gone. They've either 288 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: been they've either died, or they've been bought out. And 289 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: so what you're left with is a lot of stories 290 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 2: that emanate from other news sources like USA Today or 291 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: from other newspapers inside that particular chain, the Gannet chain. 292 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: And I go back to the basic precept of everything 293 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: regarding entertainment, and Tommy, that's what we're talking about. We 294 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: can inform, but we got entertained. Whether you're in print 295 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: or you're in broadcast, if you give people a reason 296 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: to read or watch or listen, people will read, watch, 297 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: and listen. And I think the being counters along the 298 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: way have forgotten about that basic precept in the quest 299 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: for making as much money as possible. And I think 300 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: that's probably at the root of what happened at the 301 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: Washington Post. 302 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: Would you agree? 303 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 6: Yeah? 304 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: And I believe you know, it's it's the aging of 305 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 3: the readership to you know, the people who those names 306 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 3: meant something to or or you know, they're they're leaving 307 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 3: this world, and you know, we're we're getting a new 308 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: generation who don't know who Tony Cornell Hawser is or 309 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 3: you know who don't know these legendary columnists, and it's 310 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: got to find a way. And one of the bad 311 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: things about the Post that made me think history was 312 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 3: that I hope this doesn't diminish the journalism as a 313 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: career for young journalists. You know, I've worked with the 314 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: Society Professional Journalists in developing these monthly programs that we're 315 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: trying to find membership, and we're looking. 316 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: We're seeing that you know, a. 317 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: Fewer colleges are actually developing reporters for newspaper work. 318 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 4: You know, they're all types of disciplines like podcasting and. 319 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: You know that you know, the social media AI development, 320 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 3: and so it's it's just a matter of aging out. 321 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 4: I think. 322 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 3: I think at some point what we're doing right now, 323 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 3: what's happening right now, will age out in about twenty 324 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 3: or thirty years or even sooner. Yeah, you know, I 325 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: love the legendary reputation of the Washington Post. It's always 326 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 3: been I always wanted to work there, but you know 327 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 3: I was. I worked at the USA Today for a while, 328 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: and you know, that's as close as I got. And 329 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: my action bucket list job was the Dallas Morning News, 330 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: and I got to work there. 331 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm good for you, Good for you, good for you, 332 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: thank you. 333 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: I saw the development of the media and industry, and 334 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: you know, inside the walls of the Post and those 335 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: are stationed elsewhere that have Post affiliation. They're smart people. 336 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: They know what's going on. They know the business model, 337 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: so they know, you know, they probably have seen the 338 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: riding on the wall a long time ago. 339 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think you. I would think, Tommy, we 340 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: got to run. But I appreciate your insight onto all this, 341 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 2: Tommy Cummings, who has been around the print business a 342 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: very long time, on what in essence is the death 343 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 2: of the Washington Post.

And 352 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 2: then at two o six is the GOP doomed this 353 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: fall for a number of different reasons, not the least 354 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: of which is the redistricting plan that has occurred in California. 355 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: Just the other day, what was it yesterday? 356 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: The Supreme Court said it is not just not going 357 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: to take up that case that was before it challenging 358 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party in California from redistricting and picking up 359 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: in essence, five seats in the upcoming election in twenty 360 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: twenty six. So Savannah Guthrie's mother, we're going to get 361 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: an update from it. Sounds like local authorities in Arizona, 362 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: in the Tucson area. 363 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: The FBI is also on this. 364 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has pledged his support to the Guthrie family 365 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: to try and find out what happened to eighty four 366 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: year old Nancy Guthrie. Her daughter, of course, is Savannah, 367 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 2: who appears on NBC news programs. There was a ransom 368 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: note now being investigated. Those things in this day and 369 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: age could be really could not be real. Now, someone 370 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: who knows all about how these investigations go. He is 371 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 2: a criminologist of great note, consultant with over twenty five 372 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: years of experience in federal, state and local in law enforcement. 373 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 2: And that's a good guest of this program. Doctor Alex 374 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: del Carmen, how are you on this glorious day. 375 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 5: I'm doing well, my friend. 376 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing well. 377 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: Look, you get a ransom note in the past, and 378 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: chances are it was legit. You get a ransom note 379 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: in this day and age, it could be AI generated. 380 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: Even a video from the person that has been abducted 381 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: could be AI generated. How would the authorities know? What 382 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 2: would they do to try and determine whether or not 383 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: this ransom note or anything else from the alleged captors 384 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: would be real and not AI generated. 385 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, that's a great question. And obviously ransom 386 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 8: notes are as old as you know, criminology and law 387 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 8: enforcement investigatory service as far as well in this country, 388 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 8: as you know, haven't seen one. 389 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 5: Of these in a long time. 390 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 8: And now with technology, as you note, you know, with 391 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 8: technology available to everyone, you know, one has to be 392 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 8: suspicious of whether or not this is generated through an 393 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 8: artificial intelligence mechanism. Look, the best way to know and 394 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 8: to kind of prove is authenticity is to figure out 395 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 8: what kind of detail the note has. Right, If the 396 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 8: note has details that only the individual suspect would know, 397 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 8: such as you know what. 398 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 5: The victim was wearing and what time they. 399 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 8: Were at the house, and what the house looks like, 400 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 8: and you know various other things those who would give 401 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 8: clues to law enforcement to know we're dealing with something 402 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 8: that may be authentic and it's not something that is 403 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 8: being generated by a third party trying to be a clown. 404 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: Okay, So this. 405 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 2: Note comes in, it gets sent to the CBS affiliate 406 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: in Tucson. It also winds up with TMZ. The FBI 407 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: reviewed this note, shared it with the gut Three family, 408 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: and then the guth Three family goes on television last 409 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 2: night and delivers this this plea to let their mother go. 410 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 2: I'm wondering, do you think the family acted rogue in 411 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: this decision or do you think it got the blessing 412 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: of the FBI. And if it got the blessing, would 413 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 2: that lead to you not to believe that the note 414 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: is real? 415 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 8: Well, actually, I think that this was probably orchestrated by 416 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 8: the FBI. Right, So, the FBI has a behavioral science component. 417 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: Up in Quantico, and what they do is they're actually 418 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 5: incredibly good at this. 419 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 9: Right. 420 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 5: I've actually done a little bit of work with them 421 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 5: in the past, and they'll analyze the note. 422 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 8: They're going to be looking at the writings of the note, 423 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 8: they're gonna say, Look, what kind of adjectives, what kind of. 424 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 5: Verbs were used? 425 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 8: You know, were words used deliberately in an intentional way 426 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 8: that did not make any sense? 427 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 5: Or are there any symbolism? 428 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 8: So this is there any regionality in the way the 429 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 8: note was written and what they probably did. If you 430 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 8: pay attention to the actual video that was released yesterday, 431 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 8: which I'm sure you have, you're gonna you could actually 432 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 8: take take it apart. And first of all, realize that 433 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 8: they're talking to different audiences, right, So they're talking to 434 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 8: the audience of the public. 435 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 5: Encouraging them to help. 436 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 8: They're also talking to their mom, but they're also talking 437 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 8: to the bad guy, right. 438 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 5: So they're saying to the bad guy. Look, this is 439 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 5: they're humanizing her. 440 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 8: They're talking about her in you know, first name basis mom, 441 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 8: this mom, dad, She's wonderful, she does this, she does that. 442 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 8: And what that does is this is as all as 443 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 8: you know, as we have been trying to investigate cases, 444 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 8: is trying to humanize the victim. So the offender has 445 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 8: some degree of remorse or is somehow prompted to perhaps say, 446 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 8: you know what, let me give them, you know, some 447 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 8: room here to get their family member back. 448 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: Whoever did this has to know what her habits are, 449 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: has to know what that house looks like, possibly has 450 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: been inside this house, so what not? That then laid 451 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 2: them to a smaller circle of people that could have 452 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: pulled this off, unless, of course, somebody was lurking, had 453 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 2: broken into the house and as her mother came home 454 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 2: at nine point thirty at night. You know, maybe that 455 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: person had already broke broken in and taken her for 456 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 2: whatever reason, but it would have to have bet I 457 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: think somebody that knew the woman's habits and knew exactly 458 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 2: what the inside of that house looked like. 459 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: Am I off base here? 460 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 7: Well, you're not. 461 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 8: And one of the first things we look for is 462 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 8: whether or not it was a fourth century kind of 463 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 8: scenario or she let that person in. And typically when 464 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 8: we see a door that's been broken into or you know, 465 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 8: some kind of a fourth entry, we then speculate and 466 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 8: perhaps assume that the victim did not know the offender. 467 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 5: It could also be that the bad guy. 468 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 8: Is someone that knew, someone that knows her and somehow, 469 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 8: you know, say an appliance person that's delivering something to 470 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 8: the house, or the person that does her garden or 471 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 8: somebody that actually has access to her life that either 472 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 8: intentionally or not mentioned different things about her lifestyle that 473 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 8: allowed for the bad guy to know things about her 474 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 8: before he actually she actually you know, went inside the 475 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 8: house and abducted her. But there's no question this is 476 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 8: this has been planned. This is likely a two or 477 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 8: three personal scenario, and this was done at the time 478 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 8: when she was most vulnerable. 479 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: Is time on Savannah Guthrie's family side or is time 480 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: working against it? As these things, these kidnappings drag on, 481 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: it would seem to me that Time would not be 482 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 2: a friend of the family. 483 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Is it a friend of the family. 484 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 5: No, not at all. 485 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 8: And in fact, we often say that the first few minutes, 486 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 8: the first few hours after the abduction are really the 487 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 8: most important ones, because it's when the you know, we 488 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 8: can we can kind of create a circle around the perimeter. 489 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 8: We can then start looking at cameras that they delete themselves. 490 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 8: As you know, time progresses, and so no, I mean, 491 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 8: the longer he takes, obviously the the the less likely 492 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 8: is that we're going to recover her alive. That's not 493 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 8: to say that he has happened before, and that's not 494 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 8: to say that prayers don't work, right, But the reality 495 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 8: is is that that guys have a tendency of getting desperate, 496 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 8: and the more time that passes, the more that this 497 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 8: is going to be against you know, not only the victim, 498 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 8: but the victim's family as well. 499 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: Doctor Alex Steel, Carmen criminologist, our guests, we're talking about 500 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: the abduction of Savannah Gunthriie's mother, which is consuming the 501 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: news on this day and yesterday really since the event 502 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: occurred over the weekend on early Sunday morning. I'm just wondering. 503 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: One of the things that I know that police look 504 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: at is motive. What could the possible motive have been 505 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: to take this woman? I mean, sure her daughter is rich, 506 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 2: but there are a lot of rich people that live 507 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 2: in that area of Arizona. What would the possible motive 508 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: have been for somebody to abduct her. There's a piece 509 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: here that's missing. There is a piece to the motive 510 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: that's missing here. For me, I don't want to be 511 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: speculed to because there probably are a hundred reasons why, 512 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: But why this woman if indeed there were other rich 513 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: people or parents of a rich person there in that area, 514 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me. 515 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that, you know, part of it is 516 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 8: also related to the fact that, you know, we don't 517 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 8: know what we don't know about her personal life, right, 518 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 8: We don't know if she's got some sort of an inheritance, 519 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 8: for instance, that a family member. 520 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 5: Would benefit from. 521 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 8: We also don't know, if you know, in the course 522 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 8: of her daughter's you know, professional life, if she made 523 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 8: somebody upset by some story that was covered. I mean, 524 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 8: you know, there are a lot of folks out there 525 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 8: that get fixated on many things, and those of you 526 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 8: that are public available to the public oftentimes inspire both 527 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 8: admiration and hatred, right, and so there are people out 528 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 8: there that want to seek revenge and there are others 529 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 8: that are seeking money. 530 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 5: And so it'll be interesting to see if this. 531 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 8: Ransom note was in fact legitimate, and if it was, 532 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 8: then that's going to give us a clue as to 533 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 8: whether or not this is really related to money and 534 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 8: more of a transactional type of crime versus something that 535 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 8: is personal and would have inspired revenge on behalf of somebody. 536 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: All criminals are idiots at some point. 537 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: They're idiots for trying to pull off a crime, or 538 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 2: they're idiots for getting caught I mean, criminals are not 539 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: the brightest people in the world. I'm just there seems 540 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: to be no evidence it was a dark area. Okay, 541 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: so the ring camera didn't work. Well, there doesn't seem 542 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: to be any evidence that they can find inside the 543 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: house except a small drop of dried blood, which could 544 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: have come from anywhere. She could have knicked herself a 545 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: week ago and failed to clean it up's apparently, although 546 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: maybe they're not done with their their deep dive. There 547 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: seems to be no evidence from cameras in and around 548 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: that neighborhood. Every single neighborhood has got cameras, either from 549 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: ring doorbells or from traffic lights or whatever it may be. 550 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 2: It's astounding. I know you don't share everything, but there 551 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 2: seems to be nothing. I worked in the television industry 552 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: for forty five years. There's got to be some reporters 553 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: that are on this thing that are uncovering at least 554 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: where those cameras are and what those cameras might show. 555 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: It's astounding there's been little evidence in this case at all. 556 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with you, and I also don't buy 557 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 8: the fact that they don't have more information. Right, So, 558 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 8: I think that typically what happens in these cases, especially 559 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 8: when the FBI leads the investigation, is you know, there's 560 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 8: an ongoing joke in the industry that we often say 561 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 8: that when the FBI shows up to the crime scene 562 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 8: and they're leading the investigation, they often ask you know, 563 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 8: what do you know? 564 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 5: And when you ask him back, what do you know? 565 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 8: They say, I don't know anything, inspite the fact that 566 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 8: they may know something. 567 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 5: Right, So, I mean it's sort of like part of 568 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 5: the code of a bureau, which is they keep it. 569 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 8: To themselves and rightly so right, so this is the 570 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 8: idea is they're not and be releasing a lot of info. 571 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 8: I would say to you that there's likely DNA present 572 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 8: in the crime scene because it was inside a facility, 573 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 8: inside a home. That DNA is being preserved so you 574 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 8: don't have to worry about the elements coming in between 575 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 8: and destroying the DNA. So they likely have some extraction 576 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 8: of DNA. The question is whether the DNA matches the 577 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 8: person that was there last. 578 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 5: Week legitimately or the bad guys. 579 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 8: Right, And then the other part of this is that 580 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 8: they're also going to get flock cameras. Remember a lot 581 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 8: of cities now have these. You know LPRs as we 582 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 8: call them, which is license plate readers that essentially. 583 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 5: Are everywhere these days. 584 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 8: And they're in different traffic intersections and all that, and 585 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 8: they're constantly taking pictures. 586 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 5: Of someone's license plate and sending that over. 587 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 8: So I'm guessing that even if the local cameras were 588 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 8: not on, we're not activated, law enforcement knows something about someone, 589 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 8: but they're likely not releasing that information just yet. 590 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 591 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we'll get much information here in 592 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: ten minutes, but we'll see exactly what's being said up 593 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 2: at this news update at one o'clock out in Tucson. 594 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: As for you, doctor del Carmen, it's always great catching 595 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 2: up with you. Stay well, we need to hear your 596 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: voice and we'll touch base down the road. 597 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: Thanks. 598 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 5: Oh, it's a pleasure, Thank you. 599 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 2: There is Ye again, the cops aren't going to share 600 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 2: everything that they know. 601 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: He's right. 602 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: The cops probably have things that they have uncovered inside 603 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: that house. They went back, if you remember, a second 604 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: time yesterday they declared the crime scene safe and clear, 605 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,719 Speaker 2: and then forty eight hours later they're back at that 606 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: house again. So there must have been some sort of 607 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: tip off. There must have been something that they were 608 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: alerted to that they went back there to look forward again. 609 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: But as each day pass, as each minute passes, this 610 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: is marching down the highway to a story that's not 611 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: going to have a happy ending. When you do have 612 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: an abduction, when you do have any kind of forced entry, 613 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: any kind of kidnapping, it's if it's not within the 614 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: first twenty four hours, generally speaking. 615 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: And this is just history. 616 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with this case or with 617 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 2: what the police are doing out there right now. Time 618 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: is not a friend, and it'll be interesting. The real 619 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: question for me is why this woman? Why her? And 620 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 2: the thing the skeptic in me keeps saying, it's somebody 621 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 2: that she knew, somebody that she didn't seem threatened by. 622 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 2: There doesn't seem to be any indication of a forced entry. Now, 623 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: hopefully the reporters that are there, and they've got some 624 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: national people there. Not to demean anybody that works local 625 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 2: television or newspapers in the Tucson area, but hopefully those 626 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: are questions. That would be the first question that I 627 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: would ask, is there are there signs of a forced entry? 628 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: If there are, then that changes everything. If there wasn't 629 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 2: that it might be somebody that she knew, but they 630 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: are very limited in what they're saying. They either have 631 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 2: a lot, know a lot and are trying to flesh 632 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: whomever this is out, or they simply don't know. And 633 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 2: if the answer is they simply don't know, that in 634 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: and of itself is frightening. It is coming up on 635 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 2: twelve to fifty three. Still to come is the GOP 636 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: doomed this fall? The redistricting plan in California. It was 637 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 2: before the Supreme Court where the Democrats redistrict California and 638 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 2: in doing so picked up five additional seats in the 639 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: House of Representatives. The Supreme Court didn't want to hear 640 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 2: anything about that, didn't even issue an opinion. 641 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: So there you go. 642 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 2: You got five more seats you've got to worry about 643 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 2: in the House. And then of course you've got the 644 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 2: Save Act, which I have no idea why the Republicans, 645 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: who are in control of the House and the Senate 646 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 2: and the White House, why that has not past where 647 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 2: you have to show a legal id when you vote 648 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 2: that you are a citizen of this country. Now, please, 649 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: the next time you see one of your representatives who 650 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: happens to be of the GOP. You may want to 651 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: ask him why has that not been brought up for 652 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 2: vote in the House, in the Senate, and don't let 653 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 2: them do the quick two step and say, well, it's 654 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: their problem, it's their problem. No, Ralph, I voted for you. 655 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 2: It's your problem. We'll get into that at two six. 656 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 2: It's twelve fifty four here now on the Home of 657 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: the Red. Seven hundred WLW. It's seven hundred WLW the 658 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: average American and for the great American on this Thursday. Obviously, 659 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 2: glad you're with us, for without you, what would I be? 660 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 2: I would merely be one man in a room sitting 661 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 2: by himself, babbling. 662 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 1: And why would I have to leave home to do that? 663 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to testify in front 664 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: of Senate overs or the House Oversight Committee with their 665 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and what they may or 666 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 2: may not have done. There was some sort of negotiation 667 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: that took place that gets both of them in front 668 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 2: of a House committee. Meanwhile, more files on Jeffrey Epstein 669 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 2: were released earlier this week. Actually they were last fight, 670 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, and in doing so, the DOJ 671 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 2: made victims victims all over again by revealing identities through 672 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: photos and other means. And so lawyers representing three hundred 673 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 2: Epstein survivors filed a request this past Sunday for quote 674 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 2: immediate takedown of the DOJ website hosting Epstein materials. Meanwhile, 675 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 2: Todd Blanche's well known to you and me and everybody 676 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 2: else in the DOJ, says, this is it. These are 677 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 2: the files. 678 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 5: This is it. 679 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 2: There's nothing else. We got nothing else to release. And 680 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 2: in and of itself, maybe you don't find the Epstein 681 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: files all that interesting or tired of hearing about the 682 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 2: Epstein files. And I guess in some cases that's understandable. 683 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: But this is more than just the Epstein files. It's 684 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 2: also a look at how the powerbrokers in Washington, DC, 685 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 2: and around the world for that matter, operate. And so 686 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 2: now they have landed themselves squarely in the middle of this. 687 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 2: And so has now the House that want to talk 688 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: to the former Secretary of State and her husband, the 689 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 2: former President of the United States. Someone that's watching this, 690 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure with a keen eye, is about to join us. 691 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 2: He has retired Lieutenant Colonel Peter Shin. We've had Pete 692 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 2: on the show before. He is the associate director of 693 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 2: epstein Justice dot com. That is an effort solely, solely 694 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 2: dedicated to the victims of what Jeffrey Epstein did and 695 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 2: justice for them. And it's great to have Peachen back 696 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 2: on the show. And Lieutenant Colonel, it's great to hear 697 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 2: your voice again. How are you in this glorious day? 698 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,959 Speaker 7: And I'm doing great. 699 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 10: It's a beautiful day out here in sunn Colorado, which 700 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 10: is where I live, and I am excited to talk 701 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 10: to you about this subject, which, as you have so 702 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 10: rightly pointed out, shows that the Department of Justice has 703 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 10: ignored the law almost in its entirety that was passed 704 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 10: on November nineteenth by every single member of Congress except one. 705 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 7: So there's still a. 706 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 10: Lot of work to be done to continue to put 707 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 10: pressure on the system in order for victims of Jeffrey 708 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 10: Epstein that the Department of Justice itself says numbers at 709 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 10: least more than a thousand, that at least some of 710 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 10: these victims can get some real justice. And there is 711 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 10: no justice without truth, Ken, No. 712 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:55,959 Speaker 1: There isn't. 713 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: Why would the DOJ then release files that had pictures 714 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: of the these victims and information about these victims. They 715 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 2: turn them into victims all over again. 716 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 10: The answer to that question is I don't know. But 717 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 10: there's only one of two possible answers. One of the 718 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 10: answer is grotesque incompetence. You can't rule that out in 719 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 10: any government dealings. But the second one is that this 720 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 10: grip poisoned pill in order to deliberately non comply with 721 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 10: the law. Not that compliance has been very forthcoming anyway. 722 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 10: Let's just take a look at one aspect of how 723 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 10: the Department of Justice has failed to comply, and that's 724 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 10: with saying all the files released, well by the Department 725 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 10: of Justice's own admission, are roughly half of the information. 726 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 10: Roughly half of the files have been redacted. 727 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 7: Well that's I mean. 728 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 10: I'm no math and a math wizard. I'm not a mathematician. 729 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 10: I don't like to do math in public. But I 730 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 10: would say that they're holding back the material more or 731 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 10: less for reasons which are still unclear, especially when you 732 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 10: consider that the only supposed redactions are supposed to be 733 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 10: for victim information, which and ongoing investigations, which clearly they 734 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 10: didn't even do that part of the law. So but 735 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 10: here's the reality. The reality is that from the standpoint. 736 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 7: Of Epstein Justice and Epstein Justice. 737 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 10: Dot Com, the organization I represent, the release of files 738 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 10: has never been the goal anyway. 739 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,720 Speaker 7: What the goal has been is to get. 740 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 10: Congress to formulate a nonpartisan Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a 741 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 10: true non partisan investigation that should probably be by cameral 742 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 10: with members of both the House and Senate, not some 743 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 10: farce like the j sixth Commission that you know obviously 744 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 10: was supposed to be bipartisan but clearly was not. We 745 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 10: need something because this is a nonpartisan issue. I should 746 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 10: think that the prosecution of the people who who let's 747 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 10: be honest to these children, I should think that that 748 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 10: would be a national priority. But for whatever reason, it 749 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 10: still doesn't seem to be ken. 750 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 2: No, it doesn't, and you know, the skeptic in me says, 751 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: the reason why is it's far greater than what's going 752 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 2: on in Washington. I think you and I have had 753 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: this conversation before, and again I'm only looking at this 754 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: with a jaundiced eye. It would seem to me that 755 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 2: there are people that are being protected, that are of 756 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 2: that are on world stage and maybe not even in 757 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 2: this country, that are involved in the banking industry, maybe 758 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 2: involved in politics and other countries that would lead one 759 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: to believe that the United States has to do business 760 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 2: with these countries and they don't want the people involved 761 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: with those countries under some sort of scrutiny. Here, it's 762 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 2: got to be bigger than just the incompetence or alleged 763 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 2: incompetence of Todd Blanche and the DJ That, to me 764 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: is just too easy explanation as to why at the 765 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 2: point of you said November, Really, if I was Trump, 766 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 2: what I would have done, because I campaigned on this 767 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 2: is January the twenty first of last year, I would 768 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 2: have said, we're releasing everything. And then if they had 769 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 2: judges blocking them, well then you deal with the judges 770 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: blocking them. But from Trump from a political standpoint, to 771 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 2: protect whoever was in his administration from having a bad 772 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 2: eye cast on them for whatever reason, just get them 773 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 2: all out there. Here they are, I'm signed off on them, 774 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 2: take them, do whatever you want with them, regardless of 775 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 2: who is embarrassed or who is implicated. He didn't do that. 776 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: I don't know why he didn't do it, but he 777 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 2: didn't do it. And so here we are now, as 778 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 2: we just every so often we get this troth of 779 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 2: stuff dumped on us, some of which is without context, 780 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 2: others of which involves victims who are victimized. Again, it 781 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 2: seems to me there's something greater at play here than 782 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 2: all of that, don't. 783 00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: You think so, Peter? 784 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 5: I do? 785 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 10: Can I do think there's something greater. It's like what 786 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 10: it is is hard to determine because we don't have 787 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 10: all the facts, which again speaks to the need of 788 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 10: a truly nonpartisan investigation. But all of that having been said, 789 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 10: in terms of it being bigger than just the United States, 790 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 10: the materials that have been released approved, that was beyond 791 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 10: a doubt that this is truly a global conspiracy, if 792 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 10: you want to put it that way, involving the Royalty 793 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 10: of Norway, the Royalty of the United Kingdom, elected officials 794 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 10: in a variety of countries, including quite notably Israel, but 795 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 10: not exclusively Israel. So it's not just a child sex 796 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,800 Speaker 10: trafficking network that was in operation in the United States. 797 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 7: Far from it. As a matter of fact. 798 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 10: You know, one of Jeffrey Epstein's close friends, lu Brenad 799 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 10: in France, also took his own life after it was 800 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 10: revealed that he had been a part of Epstein's child 801 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 10: sex trafficking network. So this is a global phenomenon, not 802 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 10: just in the United States, and I do believe that's 803 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 10: one of the reasons then that we are not seeing 804 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 10: the kind of fulsome and aggressive action to really root 805 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 10: out who all was involved, because it's just too many 806 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 10: of the rich and powerful, and then rich and powerful 807 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 10: don't want to eat their own people like Jess Staley 808 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,760 Speaker 10: rather who was the CEO of UBS, an enormous international bank, 809 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 10: of people like Leon black the chair of Blackstone, on 810 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 10: and on. 811 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 7: It goes. 812 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 10: All of these people in finance, government, and you mentioned 813 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 10: billan Hillary couldn't having to testify. They most certainly should 814 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 10: have to testify. I don't think you're going to get 815 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 10: any sacts out of them that are worthwhile, but I 816 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 10: think that anybody who had anything to do with this 817 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 10: should be hauled up in front of a nonpartisan investigatory 818 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 10: body in order to find the truth, which has certainly 819 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 10: not been revealed to this point. 820 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you look at just the files 821 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: that have been released the former President Clinton, you have 822 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 2: to delineate there because his wife is going to testify too. 823 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 2: But former President appeared on Epstein's private jetlog sixteen times 824 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 2: between two thousand and two and two thousand and three. 825 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: Clinton said the trips for the Clinton Foundation and work 826 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 2: that he does there. But you can even go deeper 827 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 2: than that. I mean, there are a lot of phone 828 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,879 Speaker 2: numbers for Bill Clinton in Epstein's Black Book. When did 829 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 2: he learn of Jeffrey Epstein? And under what circumstances? What 830 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 2: favors did Epstein request from you? What was given in return? 831 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 2: Sure he may not be forthcoming, I mean we all 832 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 2: saw the way he behaved when he was impeached for 833 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: what he did with Monica Lewinsky more than a quarter 834 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 2: century ago. But the fact of the matter is they 835 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 2: got him, and they can get him on the record. 836 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what they're going to get with Hillary, 837 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 2: but maybe she is complicit in some way, shape or 838 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 2: forming all of this. But from what I'm told, this 839 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 2: is not going to be an open testimony, that this 840 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 2: is going to be behind closed doors, So who the 841 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: hell knows what's going to go on there and who 842 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 2: knows what the kind of questioning is and what his 843 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 2: demeanor will be throughout. I'm glad they're in front of 844 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 2: a they're in front of a committee, and maybe it's 845 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 2: a start, you know, Peter, Maybe it's a start. Maybe 846 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 2: it continues from there with others, maybe they implicate others, 847 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 2: and then we get this thing moving forward and not 848 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 2: where it is right now, which is stalled. And these 849 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 2: documents have just come out that and I said earlier, 850 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of people are growing weary of this. 851 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 2: Where is it leading to? Well, the reason why they're 852 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 2: getting weary is because it wasn't all out there in 853 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 2: the first place. So where do you think this goes 854 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 2: with Bill and Hillary? 855 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 10: I don't think the thing with Bill and Hillary goes 856 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 10: much of anywhere, candidly, for the reasons that you've outlined. 857 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 10: But that being said, you know, at the end of 858 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 10: the day, this isn't going to go away. Yeah, people 859 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 10: are tired of hearing about it. They're tired of hearing 860 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 10: about it because it's so clear that so many rich 861 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 10: and wealthy people were involved. 862 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 7: You know, think about this, Ken. 863 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 10: You and I have right, we know what our friend's 864 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 10: hobbies and interests are, don't we And we know that 865 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 10: why because we don't want to be associated with people 866 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 10: who have evil interests in hobbies. 867 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 7: Now that's just us, a couple of normal guys. 868 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 10: Why are wealthy people supposedly so different that they would 869 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 10: never investigate what their friend is into. That would be impolite. 870 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,879 Speaker 10: I called DS on that ken, and I think that 871 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 10: everybody who was associated with Jeffrey Epstein closely knew exactly 872 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 10: what he was up to. How could you not? He's 873 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 10: your dear friend, and that's his primary interest. He's the 874 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 10: greatest child sex trafficker that America has ever produced, if 875 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 10: you want to use that kind of descriptor, but certainly 876 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 10: the most horrific and certainly the most prolific. So for 877 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 10: all of those reasons. Anybody who says, oh, I was 878 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 10: associated with him after he was a child sex trafficking 879 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 10: convicted by the way, and a registered sex offender, and 880 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 10: I continue to associate with him because he was such 881 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 10: a nice guy, those people need to answer for that, 882 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 10: because anything that says, hey, I wasn't I didn't know, 883 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 10: I just don't believe that for a minute. And if 884 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 10: that's the case, then you were completely incompetent and you 885 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 10: ought to be have some sort of consequence just on backgrounds. 886 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 7: There was no excuse for this. 887 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: Epstein is dead. 888 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 2: The people that were around him are implicated in the 889 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 2: evidence we've seen so far have been reticent to talk. 890 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: Bill Gates apparently did a mayor coopa a couple of 891 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 2: days ago, and okay, Julane Maxwell, she was nothing happened 892 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,800 Speaker 2: apparently with him with Epstein without her by his side 893 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 2: or co conspira co conspiring with him. 894 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 1: She's alive. 895 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: Todd Blanche apparently went and deposed her in a jail cell. 896 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 2: Then they moved her to another, I guess more habitable 897 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 2: jail cell after that. It would seem to me that's 898 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 2: the star witness. Why isn't she in front of the 899 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 2: House Overside Committee. 900 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 10: Well, she's going to be probably or maybe she's agreed 901 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 10: to testify. But here's the thing, Glaie Maxwell is the 902 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 10: most notorious liar on earth. And if you believe, as 903 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 10: some do, that what Jeffrey Epstein was actually up to 904 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 10: was running a global blackmail operation on behalf of intelligence 905 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 10: agencies unknown. If you believe that, then for her to 906 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 10: say anything about we were doing anything would result in 907 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 10: in some sort of unofficial death sentence for her. And 908 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 10: so I don't think you're going to get a lot 909 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 10: of truth out of Gawaine Maxwell. In fact, her testimony 910 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 10: to Todd Blanch. Her statement to Todd Blanch, which was released, 911 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 10: suggested not only that she. 912 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 7: Had never done anything wrong, but. 913 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 10: She'd never seen Jeffrey Epstein do anything wrong and had 914 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 10: never seen any. 915 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,439 Speaker 7: Other public official do anything wrong. 916 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 5: So I don't think you're going to. 917 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 10: Get any facts out of Gawaine Maxwell, who is a 918 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 10: notorious liar and frankly one of the most vicious petophiles 919 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 10: that you'll ever meet in your life. 920 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,439 Speaker 2: She's in front of the committee, I guess on the night, 921 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 2: so it's here pretty quick. 922 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: What's today's date? I don't even know what today's date is? 923 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 7: You got she's a fifth sir? 924 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 2: Okay, five four days from now, she's going to uh 925 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,919 Speaker 2: appear before this this oversight committee. Uh, you're but you're 926 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 2: but I mean, yeah, okay, she's a notorious liar. But 927 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 2: you have to you have to assume that if she 928 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 2: wants to get her rear end out of jail, she's 929 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 2: going to flip on people. Wouldn't you would you wouldn't 930 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 2: that stand a reason that you'll flip and then they 931 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,720 Speaker 2: can investigate whether or not she's telling the truth. 932 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 10: Oh, it stands to reason that she'd flip on lunch 933 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 10: she fears for her life. Yeah, and that's the thing 934 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 10: we uh, presumably Blayne Maxwell is. I mean, she's had 935 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 10: plenty of opportunities to tell the truth and she has 936 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 10: failed to do so at every turn. So uh, it 937 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 10: seems quite unlikely that she would have a change of art, 938 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 10: even to free herself from prison. She could have freed 939 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 10: herself from prison. 940 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 5: At any time, could she have not by. 941 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 7: By providing fullsome evidence. 942 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 10: She's not chosen to do that, And I believe it's 943 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 10: because she's scared get killed. 944 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:11,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. 945 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 2: Well, and she may very well plead the fifth you know, 946 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 2: or trying to strike some sort of ad hoc deal 947 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 2: on immunity. But yeah, well we'll see what it Bringsary 948 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 2: February ninth, four days from now.

Pro Football Hall of Fame 1019 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 13: class at twenty twenty six will be announced. Will the 1020 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 13: call come for Ken Anderson, Willie Anderson? It should have 1021 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 13: come ten years ago for Kenny and former Saint ex 1022 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 13: standout linebacker Louke Keighley. Now will they be called to Canton? 1023 00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: All right? 1024 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 2: So if we believe the reports that Belichick and Craft 1025 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 2: are not in, that would leave it to Roger Craig, 1026 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 2: Elsie Greenwood and Ken Anderson. Now you have to get 1027 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 2: eighty percent of the vote to get in. I believe 1028 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 2: there are fifty people that vote. Am I right about that? 1029 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: Fifty people at least? Okay, So you got to get 1030 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,399 Speaker 1: forty votes to. 1031 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 2: Get in, and the question becomes which one of those 1032 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,879 Speaker 2: guys is most likely to get forty votes? Like I said, 1033 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,280 Speaker 2: Anderson should have been in ten years ago. But correct, 1034 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't know. I don't think. 1035 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 2: I don't think Willie gets in this year, Bengal. I 1036 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,320 Speaker 2: just don't think he gets in this year. They're the last, 1037 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, The last right tackle to be 1038 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,280 Speaker 2: inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was twenty 1039 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:49,400 Speaker 2: five years ago. 1040 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,320 Speaker 1: It was Jackie Slater. 1041 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 2: So they don't really value anything other than left tackle 1042 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 2: in that group. 1043 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 13: Also, ken Brew. Bengal center Ted Carris is up or 1044 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 13: the league as a league nominees for the Walder Peyton 1045 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 13: Man of the Year Award.

People ask me all the time, 1047 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 13: who's your favorite Bengal? I said Ted Carris. I like 1048 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 13: Ted Carris. I just don't know why. 1049 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 4: I just do. 1050 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: He looks like a football player, he plays like a 1051 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 2: football player. He's down in dirty. You know what I mean, 1052 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 2: I got just down there. He's not afraid to get 1053 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 2: a little bloody, little dirt. I like Ted Carris Red's update. 1054 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 13: Reds pitchers and catchers report Monday the spring training camp 1055 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,840 Speaker 13: in Arizona. It looks like the Man of Moeler. Cincinnati 1056 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 13: native Brett Souter is expected to sign soon with the 1057 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 13: Los Angeles Angels. Of course, Suitor spent two seasons with 1058 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 13: the Reds one hundred thirty three and a third innings 1059 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 13: in ninety five games, three eighty five e. 1060 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 1: R A seg. 1061 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 2: What is a eu Haineo Suarez? And I've often said 1062 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,439 Speaker 2: that if I have another child, I'm going to name 1063 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 2: him if it's a boy, ave Haineo. Okay, what do 1064 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,720 Speaker 2: you think au Haineo Suarez brings to this team? In actuality, 1065 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 2: not in hope, but in actuality, I think he will 1066 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 2: bring a well. Obviously, I hope Ken Brew the the 1067 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 2: bat that the offense needs because they've been picking up 1068 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 2: a bullpen guys left and right. They've done this, they've 1069 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 2: done that in the outfield and this here, there and everywhere. 1070 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: Don't really need any pitching. They just need to keep 1071 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: him healthy. 1072 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 13: And I think that he can be a force in 1073 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 13: the clubhouse that has been lacking over the past few years. 1074 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 1: With his experience and everything. 1075 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 13: And then, you know, I mean, him coming back means 1076 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,640 Speaker 13: some probably some extra tickets are going to be sold 1077 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 13: because people loved him. 1078 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,280 Speaker 2: Now, who loses at bats with him coming back? See, 1079 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 2: nobody wants to talk about who's the odd man out here? 1080 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 13: Well, I would think he would d d H most 1081 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 13: of the time, probably be a probably play third base 1082 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 13: every so often for a day for key Brian Hayes 1083 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 13: or another and maybe an other position, maybe first base 1084 00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 13: or something if somebody needs a day or two or whatever. 1085 00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 1086 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 2: I don't know either, but I guess he's gonna take 1087 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 2: He's gonna take AB's away from somebody. Yeah, you know, Now, 1088 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 2: maybe that's a good thing, right, Maybe that's a good thing. Oh, 1089 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 2: he hit forty forty nine of them in Arizona and Seattle. Yeah, 1090 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 2: I think he could do most of that here Monday pitchers. 1091 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 2: There are a lot of those guys are out there 1092 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 2: right now, that's correct, Yeah, them out there. 1093 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 13: I haven't heard anything yet, but apparently I guess Graham 1094 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 13: Ashcraft was scheduled for his arbitration hearing.

Departures include thirty four Republicans 1295 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,639 Speaker 2: and twenty six Democrats. Now off, your elections are always 1296 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 2: tough on the party in charge. It would seem like 1297 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 2: considering the unrest that exists inside the GOP right now, 1298 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,799 Speaker 2: with a lack of delivery on promises that were made 1299 01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,280 Speaker 2: by this president as he campaigned in twenty twenty four 1300 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 2: and by current members of the House and the Senate, 1301 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 2: which the GOP controls, has created, if nothing else, apathy 1302 01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 2: and it's nothing worse than just general unrest and maybe 1303 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 2: even upheaval and the acceptance that this is not working 1304 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 2: out the way they were told, standing by someone who 1305 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 2: thinks it will be a midterm blood bath for the GOP. 1306 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,439 Speaker 2: We've had Jeff Croweer on the show before. He's kind 1307 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 2: of legendary in New Orleans. He's a talk show host 1308 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 2: down there, radio TV, written interviewed a lot of people, 1309 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,639 Speaker 2: and we've had Jeff on the show before. It's great 1310 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,360 Speaker 2: to have mine again. Jeff, how are you on this 1311 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 2: glorious day? 1312 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:38,599 Speaker 5: Hey? 1313 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 9: Great, great to be on interesting topic. I'll tell you. 1314 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,880 Speaker 2: How's everything in New Orleans? I love New Orleans. I 1315 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,360 Speaker 2: love the Garden District. I think that's just wonderful. My 1316 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 2: son went to college down there, so I spent a 1317 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 2: lot of time down there about twenty years ago and 1318 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:56,360 Speaker 2: just absolutely love New Orleans. It's a city deep in heritage. 1319 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of nutballs that live in 1320 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 2: New Orleans. Not you, but a lot of them down there. 1321 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:01,519 Speaker 1: Well, how are. 1322 01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,800 Speaker 2: Things in New Orleans? And I know, you brace every 1323 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,120 Speaker 2: time there's bad weather, But how are things down there? 1324 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 9: Well, I mean generally speaking, they're okay. We've had three 1325 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 9: hundred and let's see, eight years. We've survived. We've survived Katrina, 1326 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 9: Who've survived incompetent leadership, We've survived being their capital. And 1327 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,680 Speaker 9: right now we've got a new mayor who's starting just 1328 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 9: was inaugurated last month, and you know, we're hopeful although 1329 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 9: it's the same party and the same ideology as the 1330 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 9: one before, but at least she won't get indicted. Two 1331 01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 9: out of our last three mayors have been indicted. We 1332 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 9: did just have. You know, we've got a staffing shortage 1333 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 9: with the NPD. We've about six hundred officers short. And 1334 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 9: it seems like they're now recruiting illegals because I've just 1335 01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 9: apprehended one of the new recruits for the NPD, a 1336 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 9: guy from Cameroon who was not someone that they should 1337 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,559 Speaker 9: have been recruiting. He's someone that shouldn't even be in 1338 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 9: the country. 1339 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,600 Speaker 5: So other than those issues. 1340 01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 9: And you know, budget woes, we're two hundred million dollars 1341 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,440 Speaker 9: in debt in the city and they're looking for bailouse. 1342 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,480 Speaker 1: This is not a nice picture I'm hearing. 1343 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 9: And the fact that the prison is under a federal 1344 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 9: consensu creek. If they can't run their own prison, then 1345 01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 9: you know, we just had ten inmates escape a few 1346 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 9: months ago. Other than that, we're doing great. We've got 1347 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 9: Marti Gras and what people down here always focus on 1348 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 9: as the parties, and you know you got Marti Gras 1349 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 9: coming and that's less than two weeks now, so that'll 1350 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 9: be a good distraction. 1351 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 2: I read your story here on the bloodbath that you 1352 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 2: foresee coming from the GOP. And as I mentioned, the 1353 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:56,760 Speaker 2: party in power always has problems retaining seats in the 1354 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,799 Speaker 2: House and some seats in the Senate. I mean, it's historically, 1355 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,880 Speaker 2: it's just that way, right. It's my opinion, and I've 1356 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 2: often said this, and you can tell me whether you 1357 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,719 Speaker 2: share this or not that in Washington, d c. Every 1358 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 2: Democrat is a Democrat, but not every Republican is a Republican. 1359 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,880 Speaker 2: And therefore we have what we have, and that is 1360 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,759 Speaker 2: the Republicans may have the numbers, but they really don't 1361 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 2: have the fortitude to go ahead and rule. There should 1362 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,559 Speaker 2: have been things that have been done and done quickly, 1363 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 2: and yet they. 1364 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:26,640 Speaker 1: Don't want to do them. 1365 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 2: They don't want to do things like past the Save Act, 1366 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,719 Speaker 2: they don't want to do things like in the Blue Slip, 1367 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,680 Speaker 2: they don't want to do things like invoke the end 1368 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 2: of the filibuster, the non verbal filibuster. And I think 1369 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 2: that drives average people that want change absolutely crazy, and 1370 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 2: I think that's why they're in the position they are 1371 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 2: in now, would you. 1372 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 9: Agree hundred percent? 1373 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 4: Right? 1374 01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,720 Speaker 9: You know, back in the day, when we were you know, 1375 01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:54,719 Speaker 9: following this decades ago, I mean, Democrats had a real division. 1376 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,479 Speaker 9: You had the Blue Dogs, you had the moderates, and 1377 01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 9: you had the liberals, and you know, you did have 1378 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,320 Speaker 9: a diverse Democrat party. Now, yeah, the Democrats are far 1379 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,719 Speaker 9: left and the only one who's not is John Fetterman, 1380 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 9: and everyone else is far left. So they have unity. 1381 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 9: Among Republicans, you've got Maga and you've got Rhinos, and 1382 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 9: there's really a big divide, and they don't have enough 1383 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 9: really to support the president's agenda. In Congress, the majority 1384 01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:23,680 Speaker 9: is so small that, I mean they are barely you 1385 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 9: know by on votes. You've got people that are super maga, 1386 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,720 Speaker 9: or you can call them maybe super libertarian or constitutionalists 1387 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 9: like Thomas Masthey, Ran Paul who go against a lot 1388 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 9: of what the leadership is doing because they don't think 1389 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 9: it's pure enough, they don't think it's good enough. So 1390 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 9: you've got all kinds of problems. In bottom line is 1391 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 9: you're one hundred percent right. They haven't delivered. And this 1392 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 9: is reminiscent of the first two years of the first 1393 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 9: Trump term where Republicans controlled everything. They didn't get rid 1394 01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,839 Speaker 9: of Obamacare, they didn't really deliver on anything but tax cuts, 1395 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 9: and then you had a blood bath. You had I 1396 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:07,560 Speaker 9: think forty seats that were lost in the House, and 1397 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 9: then of course that led to two impeachments of the president. 1398 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 9: So my prediction is that Democrats take control of the House, 1399 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,559 Speaker 9: and they surely look like they're going to do that. 1400 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 9: You know, we'll see another impeachment of the president. 1401 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, they will. 1402 01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 2: The first order of business for the Democrats if they 1403 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,840 Speaker 2: gained the House, will not be anything that benefits you 1404 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,880 Speaker 2: and me or anyone else in our daily lives. They're 1405 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,639 Speaker 2: not going to put more food on our table, make 1406 01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 2: it more affordable. They're not going to make the housing 1407 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,760 Speaker 2: market any better. They're going to impeach Donald Trump. There 1408 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,559 Speaker 2: they're desperate to impeach somebody they want to impeach Trump, 1409 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,720 Speaker 2: Christy Nome, they want to impeach Hegseath. They live on 1410 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. They are power hungry, the Democrats. 1411 01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 2: And this is this is not a condemnation, this is 1412 01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:54,559 Speaker 2: an observation. They want power. The Republicans. When they have power, 1413 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,479 Speaker 2: they have no idea what to do with it. They 1414 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,680 Speaker 2: much are more comfortable I think, out of power. 1415 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,760 Speaker 9: Than with and let's face that they are. They're more 1416 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 9: comfortable complaining and being in the minority when they have 1417 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 9: no power to do anything. But they can complain and 1418 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 9: they can fire people up with their complaints. But when 1419 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,800 Speaker 9: they have power and the ability to lead untility to 1420 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 9: get things done, they don't do it, and then they 1421 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,439 Speaker 9: get thrown out of power again. Right, So they're more 1422 01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 9: comfortable being in the minority, no doubt about it. 1423 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:22,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1424 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 2: Jim Jordan almost became a parody of himself during the 1425 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,599 Speaker 2: Biden administration. Every single day he was sending a strong 1426 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 2: letter to somebody. I'm sending a letter out tomorrow. I'm 1427 01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,400 Speaker 2: going to make a point of this tomorrow. Well, dude, 1428 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 2: you're in a minority. Nobody's listening to you. It sounds 1429 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 2: great on Fox, but in reality not happening. So now 1430 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 2: when they get power, we have these these show pony 1431 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 2: hearings and all that, And I don't know what Comer 1432 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 2: is doing with the oversight thing. They're now wrapped up 1433 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:54,320 Speaker 2: in Epstein and it just it seems to me that 1434 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff that they get wrapped up 1435 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 2: in goes nowhere. And I think that's why we have 1436 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,600 Speaker 2: what we have right now. And Democrats are walking in 1437 01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 2: lockstep on this. Susan Collins is afraid of her own shadow. 1438 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,839 Speaker 2: Murkowski is not a Republican. She's largely in office because 1439 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,920 Speaker 2: of her father and because Mitch McConnell would not allow 1440 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:18,639 Speaker 2: a legitimate, I mean a legitimate contender for her seat 1441 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 2: from his Republican party to even get a whiff of 1442 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,759 Speaker 2: money four years ago. And you got McConnell who should 1443 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 2: have just retired after blocking Merrick Garland's candidacy for the 1444 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,640 Speaker 2: Supreme Court and just declared victory and got home. So 1445 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 2: what we have, I think is just is this trying 1446 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,560 Speaker 2: to herd cats there that really don't want to be 1447 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 2: heard in the first person. I think that's why. And 1448 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 2: average Americans don't. They look at this part and say, 1449 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:46,080 Speaker 2: it's almost comical. 1450 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,960 Speaker 9: And you got to Bill Hopolong Cassidy, of course, our senator, 1451 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:54,840 Speaker 9: who now that he has been relieved of having to 1452 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 9: pretend like he's for the Trump agenda when Donald Trump 1453 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 9: endorsed one of his opponents in the Senate race, he's 1454 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,519 Speaker 9: now back on the war path against the President and 1455 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 9: came out condemning Ice, and you know, he'll be back 1456 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 9: to his normal rhino ways. So yeah, I mean there's 1457 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,920 Speaker 9: a collection of them that are uninterested in helping the president. 1458 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 9: They might, you know, claim they are, but in the end, 1459 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 9: they don't get it done. And with this filibuster that 1460 01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,600 Speaker 9: you brought up earlier, if they don't get rid of it, 1461 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:26,080 Speaker 9: I mean, they're going to get nothing through. And then 1462 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 9: of course the Democrats, whenever they have power, you know, 1463 01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 9: they're gonna they're gonna get rid of it. They're not 1464 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 9: going to because because Joe Manchin and Kristen Cinema are gone, 1465 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,720 Speaker 9: there's no you know, only John Fetterman. So I think 1466 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,120 Speaker 9: they will probably be able to get rid of it. 1467 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 9: And they certainly will. So John Dune doesn't want to 1468 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 9: do it, and that's the problem. They don't want to 1469 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:47,719 Speaker 9: take action. 1470 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,439 Speaker 2: They don't want to lead, and they're in lies to 1471 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 2: belief that it's nothing more than a uniparty and even 1472 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,800 Speaker 2: worse than that. For the GOP, it just seems that 1473 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,839 Speaker 2: they cave every time. And you know the I mentioned, 1474 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 2: we can talk about the save vac here. 1475 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: In a second, I mentioned the Blue slip. 1476 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 2: The reason why Trump can't get any kind of traction 1477 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 2: from judicially is because of this antiquated thing where senators 1478 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 2: can absolutely nuke any appointment of a judge or a 1479 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 2: judge candidate by saying no, don't want him. And the 1480 01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:22,559 Speaker 2: frustrating part is it's not just happening in Democrat controlled 1481 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,479 Speaker 2: states where you have two Democrat senators. It happens in 1482 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 2: Republican states where you have two Republicans in office. If 1483 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 2: they did away with that, and you're right, the Democrats 1484 01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 2: are going to do away with all this when they 1485 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 2: get control. He just did it away with that, he'd 1486 01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 2: have these judge ships, he would have these appointments, and 1487 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:41,880 Speaker 2: he could get done what he wants to do. I 1488 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 2: don't understand what the reticence is there. 1489 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 9: Well, it's tradition. Chuck Rassley, who's in the nineties, I 1490 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 9: think you know, is an adherent of the blue slip 1491 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 9: rule and doesn't want to even talk about getting rid 1492 01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 9: of it. So that's your issue, you know, Macca Grassling, 1493 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 9: and people have been there for decades, decades too long. 1494 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 9: We need term limits. We need to get these people 1495 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,759 Speaker 9: in and out so we get fresh blood in there. 1496 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,760 Speaker 9: But it's so difficult, as you mentioned, with the fundraising 1497 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,240 Speaker 9: and trying to take on one of these incumbents, so 1498 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 9: they just stay up there and it's just a business 1499 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 9: as usual, the good old boys club, and and nothing 1500 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 9: gets done. So yeah, we're left out here with a 1501 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,599 Speaker 9: lot of folks that are that are angry, and they 1502 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,559 Speaker 9: don't see the agenda getting accomplished, and they're not going 1503 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 9: to be motivated to go vote. And I know the 1504 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 9: President's going to try and you're going to do what 1505 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,400 Speaker 9: he can to whip up support. He's going to try 1506 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 9: to nationalize the election and that might help somewhat. It 1507 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 9: might help keep the Senate, but I don't see a 1508 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:47,759 Speaker 9: scenario where they can keep the House. 1509 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 1: No, I don't. I at this point, I don't either. 1510 01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 2: What could what could help that party is if they 1511 01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 2: passed the Save Act. I think then you might get 1512 01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,520 Speaker 2: at least feeling as something has happened. 1513 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Very simple. 1514 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 2: An idea is required to vote that proves you're a 1515 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 2: United States citizen. And we don't have these vote ramas 1516 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 2: in a lot of these these blue states where it 1517 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,200 Speaker 2: seems like anybody can vote and then we'll figure out 1518 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 2: if you're a citizen afterward. I think they have I 1519 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 2: think that would be a start. I don't know again, 1520 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 2: whether or not they can muster up these votes. I mean, 1521 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 2: you've got a lot of people in the House that 1522 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 2: are in that are Republicans in purple districts, and they're 1523 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 2: scared to death to have anything controversial tied to their name. 1524 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 2: Because the most important thing to any politician, as you know, Jeff, 1525 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,120 Speaker 2: one your vote, two your money, and three have nothing 1526 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,600 Speaker 2: attached to them with regards to a controversial vote. But 1527 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 2: I think if they passed the Save Act, it might 1528 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:49,920 Speaker 2: be a start. 1529 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 9: And I just saw the data analysts for CNN and 1530 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,600 Speaker 9: Harryanton point out that, you know, the numbers show that 1531 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 9: Americans of all parties, all race ages, supports voter ID. 1532 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 9: I mean it's popular. I mean among black voters it's 1533 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 9: like seventy six percent, popular among white voters it's in 1534 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:13,760 Speaker 9: the eighties, and among Hispanic voters, it's almost as high. 1535 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 9: So it's very popular throughout the country. So they should 1536 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 9: listen to the people and get it done. And I 1537 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:22,320 Speaker 9: think we're going to have to get rid of the 1538 01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 9: filbuster to get it done. Yeah, because that's the only 1539 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 9: road I see for it to happen. 1540 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 2: Right, and again, the Democrats are going to get rid 1541 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,280 Speaker 2: of that when they get back into power. I'm looking 1542 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,760 Speaker 2: at the list of these Republican senators that are up 1543 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 2: for reelection. Collins in Maine, she's scared of her own 1544 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,759 Speaker 2: shadow now means a purple state. We'll see what happens 1545 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:49,959 Speaker 2: with that seat. I think your guy that you mentioned, Haggerty, 1546 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,559 Speaker 2: I think despite the fact that he's now he's in 1547 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 2: Trump's doghouse. We'll see if that stays in the Republican category. 1548 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 2: And I think Kentucky, I think the seat that Mitch 1549 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 2: McConnell is giving up is very much in play. So 1550 01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 2: this thing could turn on a time on them in November, 1551 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,960 Speaker 2: and then Trump is crippled in his final two years 1552 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 2: if not impeached and if not convicted, although I don't 1553 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,080 Speaker 2: think he'll get the required votes for conviction in the Senate, 1554 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 2: but he will be impeached, which will stop everything for 1555 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,479 Speaker 2: this country for two or three months as we go 1556 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,559 Speaker 2: through the impeachment process. So I don't know who's in 1557 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 2: charge of trying to fix this thing from the gopiece standpoint, 1558 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:36,400 Speaker 2: but a hocus pocus of a mid midterm convention isn't 1559 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,200 Speaker 2: going to solve it for that party. How do you 1560 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 2: see this all turning out, Jeff? I mean you view 1561 01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,360 Speaker 2: this from a lot of different angles. How bad will 1562 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 2: it be in the Senate? We know it's going to 1563 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 2: be bad in the House. How bad will it be 1564 01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 2: in the Senate for the Coop? 1565 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 9: Well, Republicans hold a fifty three to forty seven edge 1566 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,400 Speaker 9: right now. But as we've talked about, some of these 1567 01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 9: senators are very weak Republicans. I've looked at some of 1568 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 9: these races, you know, like here in Louisiana, we'll have 1569 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 9: a Republican get elected. It might not be Cassidy, it 1570 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,840 Speaker 9: might be one of his opponents. So I think the 1571 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,240 Speaker 9: Republicans will be able to eke out a majority in 1572 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,720 Speaker 9: the Senate and lose the House. The question is how 1573 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,600 Speaker 9: big will the Democrat margin be. I think the average 1574 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 9: for a party out of powers like twenty nine seats. 1575 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 9: It was greater than that in twenty eighteen. We'll see 1576 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 9: what happens. One of the things is the RNC doesn't 1577 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 9: have leadership. I mean, you had leadership when Laura Trump 1578 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 9: was there. I thought they did a good job in 1579 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 9: helping the president win the twenty twenty four election. But 1580 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,160 Speaker 9: they've been basically silent since then. And they've done a 1581 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 9: terrible job in these special elections. I mean Democrats have 1582 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 9: won every one, and including the last one in Texas, 1583 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,000 Speaker 9: in a district President Trump won by seventeen percentage points, 1584 01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 9: they lost by almost fifteen, So I mean that's terrible. 1585 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 9: And then they were saying, oh, there was an ice storm, 1586 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,320 Speaker 9: but you know, an ice storm affected Democrats too, and 1587 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:06,640 Speaker 9: they came out and voted. 1588 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:07,479 Speaker 1: Right right, right. 1589 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, when Trump's not on the ballot, it affects Republicans, 1590 01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,599 Speaker 2: but it does not affect Democrats at all. I'm looking 1591 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 2: at the Democrats side of things too. I mean, if 1592 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,120 Speaker 2: you want to look at people that are senators that 1593 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 2: are vulnerable, I think also off and Georgia should be 1594 01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 2: a target for the GOP. The open seat in New 1595 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,600 Speaker 2: Hampshire should be a target. What of Minnesota, now, I 1596 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 2: mean Minnesota is in the news a lot, and it's 1597 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 2: only going to get worse for the current group there 1598 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 2: with regards to fraud. You've got a seat that's opening 1599 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,400 Speaker 2: up with Clobashar who's going to run for governor. Do 1600 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 2: you see a scenario at all where the Republicans pick 1601 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:45,920 Speaker 2: up seats in twenty twenty six. 1602 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,720 Speaker 9: In the Senate, possibly in New Hampshire. I don't see 1603 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 9: it in Minnesota. I mean, Minnesota has been a very 1604 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,720 Speaker 9: hostile state or Republicans in the past few decades, ever 1605 01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 9: since Norm Coleman lost or really questionably low. Of course, 1606 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,200 Speaker 9: New Hampshire has had sin you knew in statewide position 1607 01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 9: before he just got endorsed by Trump. So I think 1608 01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:13,400 Speaker 9: that would be a possibility in New Hampshire. Georgia should 1609 01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 9: be a Republican pickup, but their strongest candidate decided not 1610 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:21,160 Speaker 9: to run.
