WEBVTT - Austin Mad Bomber 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:15.520 Mr garbusch Off teared down this wall. Either you're with 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.919 us or you were with the terrorists. If you get 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.880 healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you're 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:24.959 satisfied with Trump is not. When President of the United 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.639 States take it to a bank together, we will make 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:36.400 America great again. It's what you've been waiting for all day. 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.600 The Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck toll 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.560 free at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.720 four four nine hundred to eight to five the future 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:53.320 of talk radio. Buck Sexton terrible. The bombings in Austin 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:58.440 are terrible. Local, state and federal of working hand in 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.120 hand to get to the bottom of it. This is 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:06.880 obviously a very very sick individual or maybe individuals. These 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.040 are sick people, and we will get to the bottom 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.400 of it. We will be very strong. We have all 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.399 sorts of federal agencies over there right now. We're searching 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.800 what's going on in Austin, a great place, tremendous place, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:27.040 is absolutely disgraceful, So we have a lot of power 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.399 over there. We're looking. It's not easy to find, but 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.840 these are sick people and we have to find them 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.200 as soon as possible. We have to find them really immediately. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.319 Welcome to the buck Sex and show everybody you have. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:45.399 A fifth explosion earlier today in Texas. It's believed to 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:50.720 be linked to the bombings that have already happened in Austin, Texas, 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.800 and we are now in the midst of a man 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.280 hunt for a serial bomber. We do not have much 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:05.840 in the way of additional information about motive, about any 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.919 description of the suspect, any inclination about who the suspect 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.440 or suspects are. We had the Texas Attorney General Ken 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.600 Paxton speak earlier today. Here's what he had to say 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.880 about it. Obviously, as you know an ongoing investigation, law 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.600 enforcement can't share everything they know, So there are definitely 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.959 things that that law enforcement knows about what's what's going 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.200 on with the proms and potentially who this is that 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.600 they're not gonna be able to share at this time. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.639 But yes, I do think that this guy, whoever it is, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.520 is trying to increase fear. Well, he's certainly trying to 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.840 increase fear. The question is for what purpose and who 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.840 is it so we can stop him? Um. I hope 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.200 that law enforcement has a lot more information than is 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.919 out there in the public right now, because otherwise it 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.960 seems to me they have very little to go on 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:01.000 right now. And if you look at the history of 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.120 mad bombers in the past, a serial bombers people that 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.880 were just trying to uh so chaos and and just 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.880 kill people at random, or kill people for as part 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:19.639 of some twisted political agenda. Some of these bomber man 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.920 hunts stretch on. We're not just months, not years, but decades. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.720 I certainly hope that is not the case here. Some 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.840 of you may be familiar with the mad bomber case 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.240 who terrorized New York City back in the fifties, George Mateski. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:42.160 I took them quite a long time to finally get Metski. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.360 He had left bombs in phone booths and bathrooms. He 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.080 left bombs at Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, the New 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:54.520 York Public Library. Scotty was leaving bombs place, thirty three bombs, 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.560 six of them, twenty two of them exploded. Uh And 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:03.280 it took them a long time to track him down. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.000 The most well known serial bomber of all time, the 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.240 UNI bomber Ted Kazinski. You know that went on for decades. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.240 There's now a series. I was actually planning on on 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.799 watching it, and there's a series on I believe Netflix 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.760 right now. Manhunt Unibomber. Just about that decades long effort 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.320 by the FBI to track down Kazinski had and it's 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:32.479 important folks remember what brought him down. He wanted his 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.040 message to be out there. If Kazinski didn't have a 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.760 streak of narcissism and grandiosity, he didn't insist on a 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.960 manifesto being published by the Washington Post etly the New 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:50.480 York Times, would we ever found him. He was meticulous, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.200 He planned it out, and he was completely and utterly 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.520 sociopathic when it came to the lives that he ruined 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:05.120 and lives and he ended um There's also a a 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:12.240 similar a similar need for a sense of message. If 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:18.479 you go back into um mates Ki's case, he would 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.479 send letters. He sent letters into the New York Herald 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:27.719 Tribune like this one on October. Bombs will continue until 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.520 the consolidated Edison Company is brought to justice for their 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.599 dastardly acts against me. I have exhausted all other means. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.000 I intend with bombs to cause others to cry out 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.520 for justice for me. So these bombers are crazy, but 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:49.599 not stupid. They are careful with what they do and 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.000 it is very tough to track them down. People have 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.400 been asking, I was over at Fox this morning a 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.839 few times, trying to shed some light on how this 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.200 all works. And we have incredib double forensics right now. 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:06.560 I mean, the things that can be done today are 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.960 are are amazing. They can find d N A on 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.560 a on a switch. They can find DNA on a 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:18.440 blasting cap after it's been used, even although oftentimes the 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.080 explosion will burn off any residual DNA. People usually, if 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.599 you watch enough TV and movies you think of fingerprints. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.120 They're always dusting for fingerprints. Yeah, fingerprints are great if 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.520 you can get them, but if someone wears gloves, guess 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.760 what a hard fingerprints DNA that you leave behind that's 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:42.120 much harder to eliminate from a device and and can 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.760 be left behind even after an explosion. In fact, one 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.760 of the better known cases of trying to track down 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.080 all of this involved the FBI is a special lab 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.919 that they set up and thousands and thousands of I E. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.000 D s from a rock and Afghanistan have been sent 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.839 there for analysis, and they track down one of the 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.280 one of the cases of a refugee who turned out 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:09.159 to be a really bad, really bad choice for this country. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.000 I believe he was living in Kentucky. He's in a 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.200 rocky refugee. It turned out he was involved in insurgency 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.040 there and was bragging about how he had killed U. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.000 S soldiers, And they were trying to do a match 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.720 between an I E. D. In the Beiji area of Iraq, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.880 known best for the oil refinery north of Baghdad, a 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:32.120 couple of hours drive. I think, um about maybe it's 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.560 about sixty miles well on a rocky roads. But they're 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.480 a will track him down, and in part the effort 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.400 involved looking at exactly that the DNA on I E. D. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.440 S in Iraq and seeing if you had any connection 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.560 to it. And he ended up getting a forty years 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.880 sentence I believe. So there are ways that they could 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.960 be trying this down. This may be over in a 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:58.080 day or two. I'm not trying to make this seem 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.360 more dire than it is. I just know the history 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.880 of tracking down serial bombers is one of a lot 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:13.960 of slow and plotting and difficult detective work usually, and 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.000 this case, so far, we're seeing increased. He Here are 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.200 the things that give me real pause. One is no 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.280 message anywhere that we know of. And maybe what Paxton, 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.280 the a GA Texas said is the case, law enforcement 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.680 might already have a really excellent tip, you know, and great, 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.520 and I hope that's the case. But from what we know, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.240 and I can only work here on this show, I'm 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.440 not in law enforcement anymore. I'm not intelligence anymore. I 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.320 can just tell you what's out there in the press, 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.640 which is all I would anyway. Right Uh, what we 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.880 know is that the bomber, assuming this is all one 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.679 person or one group, and I do think it's likely 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.560 to be a person. I don't see this being a group. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.680 I also don't see this being um the I don't 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.960 I don't see being gee hottest terrorism. I don't see 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.160 this being drug cartels, you know. Any It's some the 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:05.000 things that are put out there as suspect profiles by 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.720 people that are just trying to theorize and then also 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:15.320 getting a sense of motivations for this. We just don't 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.439 have enough right now. I mean, the profile you can 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:23.200 expect here would be a single male, probably middle aged, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:29.200 with a gripe. If he fits the mad bomber profile. UM, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:34.160 it's probably a loner and someone who feels like he 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.240 has been wrong very possibly by the government, although we 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.280 don't know that for sure, and views this as a 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:48.280 means of retribution, right, and and attention seeking. What's complicating 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.600 situation is that we have not and it's still very early, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.640 but we have not yet seen any manifested. We haven't 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:57.000 seen any claims of credit for this that anyone believes 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:02.040 are credible. We have a case where someone has chosen 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.880 targets that seem random, even from the mind of a 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.880 of a terrorist, right, even for a sick and deluded mind. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.960 We can't pick up much of a much of a 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.600 pattern based on what we've seen so far. And now 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.120 that you have one bomb that went off at a FedEx, 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.120 you've got another and this is this is still I 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:31.600 believe developing. They they have a a suspicious package, because 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.839 if they have an intact device, that would be much 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.120 better for all the forensic stuff I was talking about, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.080 looking at the mechanics of it, what pieces are in, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.719 what pieces are actually in the explosive device. UM, then 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.280 again look sweeping for fingerprints for DNA, all the things 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.960 that they always do. The standard kit. If you have 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.320 a device that's still together, you're more likely to get 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.440 some answers that if you have a device that's been 0:10:54.440 --> 0:11:00.440 blown to smithery, just shrapnel and residue. But they're saying 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:05.199 there's also some degree of sophistication here either that that 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.520 runs quite a gamut, right, I mean, are we talking 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.800 about someone who spent a lot of time, maybe in 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.920 some basement somewhere, thinking about how to do this? Absolutely? 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.760 I mean this is this has been thought out. This 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:21.160 person knows what the plan was here and and is 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.480 executing this bloody mayhem according to what they had been 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:34.719 plotting out for some time. But beyond that, is this 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.239 somebody with an actual skill set from explosives explosive ordinance disposal? 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.400 Is this? You know? That? To me too early to say, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.960 But I haven't seen the devices, right, the law enforcement 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.280 maybe keeping this close hold. The fact that they're saying 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.080 greater level of sophistication, to me, it's starting to be 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.920 an indicator. And this is reading between the lines. This 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.360 is not based on This is not what we know. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.520 This is what we may know based on what we've 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.600 been told old that you could have someone here who 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.400 is beyond reading the Anarchist Cookbook and trial and error 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.960 at home. But as we know, you can get far 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.839 if you're just trying to blow up innocent people. That's 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.480 not a hard thing to do. It's an evil thing 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.160 to do, but it's not a difficult thing to do. 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.080 So this is this is now where we hope that 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.000 law enforcement is gonna I have a a rapid arrest 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.120 and there will be no more of these bombings. But 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.640 using the postal system or using FedEx, you know, using 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:38.719 any of these parcel or package transfer services adds a 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:44.160 layer of complication, and it means that they're spreading a 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.160 sense of anxiety and fear throughout that entire system anywhere 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.400 where they can reach. You know, these these bombs could 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.040 theoretically reached so far it's all been in Texas, could 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.240 expand beyond that. We don't know a lot of unknowns. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.160 But we have a serial bomber on the loose in 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.600 this country. We've got over five hundred law enforcement agents 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.320 that are working in the case full time, just doing 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.040 everything they can to find him, and we will keep 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.040 you updated on it beyond that. Right now, I just 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.680 I hope that this is a story that doesn't last 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.240 beyond the week because they get him and this doesn't 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.160 turn into a Motetski or a Kazinski or any other 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.520 long term serial bomber cases that have been out there. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.120 If you have any thoughts on this, especially those of 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.520 you out there who are law enforcement or a former 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.880 military e O D. Explosive Ordinance disposal folks, by all means, 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.680 lines are open eight four four n eight to five 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.240 eight four four nine Buck, I'll be back. We we've 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.720 got to We've got a packed show today. I've got 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.920 to talk to you about the updates on Cambridge Analytic 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.720 of that whole thing. It's just people have lost their minds. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.920 They are crazy on that thing, just the latest overblown conspiracy. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.760 But we'll we'll pull that apart together. And then also 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.839 a school shooting today and one that you won't hear 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.800 about from the media. I'd say, starting tomorrow, this is 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.360 gonna fall off the rail. Why would a school shooting 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.240 not be talked about for more than one day's news cycle. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.400 Some of you are probably already saying it aloud. You 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.360 already know why. But we'll talk about it because it's 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.120 important and it should reflect it should be reflected in 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.080 the policies going forward to know that you have Betsy 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.360 Divos with that School Safety Commission. We'll get into all 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 this coming up, so stay with me team. Much more 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:44.720 on the way, Welcome back, folks. Before we get into 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:50.040 the what really should be a non story about Cambridge 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.160 Cambridge Analytica, UM, I just want to say that there 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.280 are some people who are talking quite a bit about 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.320 the possibility of a government shutdown. We're to get to 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.200 Cambridge Analytica and then the school shooting in just a 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:07.040 few minutes, but first the government shutdown. Jim Jordan's it's 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.960 raising the alarm over the spending increase that's going to 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:15.720 be happening here. This is the second largest discretionary spending 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.400 increase in the last decade, second only to the Obama 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.280 stimulus package. I don't think the American people elected Republicans 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.600 in sixteen to preside over a spending increase of this magnitude, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.000 not to mention some of the things that might go 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.800 in the bill that are still being talked about, namely 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.960 bailouts for insurance companies and and elements like that. So 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.240 this builds a bad piece of legislations. I think you're 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.160 gonna see lots of Conservatives opposed Freedom Caucus will be 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.240 offering a number of amendments to try to change it. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:45.880 We'll see how it all plays out in the next 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.080 forty eight hours. How seriously can we really take the 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.200 notion at this point that Republicans are the party of conservatives, 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:58.080 that conservatives don't want to spend beyond their means, and 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:03.040 that we're not just oh, we have the checkbook now, 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.840 so let's buy the things that we want as a party. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.160 What evidence is there that I'm wrong on that one? 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.200 I watched an interview earlier today because, as I say, 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.920 I have the great advantage because you hear me later 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.440 in the day of I've been reading and listening and 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.600 watching and researching all day. I don't have much of 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.240 a life, but it means I got a lot to say. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.720 On radio, I saw Paul Ryan and he was talking 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.400 about the increase for the military, and it's just so 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.280 interesting me. When does Paul Ryan decide to speak of 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.160 the House. He's really going to go to the mat 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:40.520 on decreasing spending answers is never gonna happen. And then 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.680 when the Democrats are in charge, Paul Ryan is gonna 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.400 be Mr. Depsit Hawk all over again. Deps it's twenty 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.960 one trillion dollars everybody twenty one trillion with the T 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.640 I know, people say, well, that's money we own ourselves. 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.360 Are we all ourselves? Um? Yeah, good luck with that one. 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.239 When interest rates start to rise, Oh we owe to ourselves. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.000 People are starting to get a little skittish, a little 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.639 nervous about what this means for the economy. And the 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.919 problem with it is that everyone I know who understands this, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.440 that really understands it, not just pretends for the purposes 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.600 of being on TV, really understands what the macro economic 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.760 trend is here say that the problem with waiting until 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.920 you know it's a problem is that it is then 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.480 too late. When you wake up and you're like, oh wow, 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:35.760 the twenty one trillion, what number do you want me 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:40.919 to stop at? That that level of debt becomes unsustainable 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.800 when everyone understands that it will be too late and 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.960 you will have no one even really knows what the 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.480 full extent the economic consequences will be. But I know 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:56.480 who's going to benefit from it. China. China is gonna 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:02.080 benefit from it. Oh there you go, whoa uh, They're 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.720 going to be waiting in the wings to take over 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:11.200 as the dominant superpower. Right, that's the plan economically, is 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.440 how they think they're going to get there, and much 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.240 rather get there through that means than any other. So 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.760 I just want to know that, you know, Jim Jordan's 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.680 saying we're spending too much money. Everyone says we spend 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.000 too much money. In the Congress, nobody does a darn 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.840 thing about it. And even if there is a government shutdown, 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.399 which I don't think there will be, the government doesn't 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.639 even really shut down. It won't be sort of shut 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.520 down for long, and it won't matter. What will matter 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.400 is that we have spent too much darn money because 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.840 no one wants to be the politician, No one wants 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.640 to be the party of You know, you just can't 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.280 have five scoops of ice cream every day after dinner. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:53.920 It's a bad idea. No, no five scoops for everyone. 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:03.000 He's holding the line for America. Buck sext in his 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.760 back look, did not talk. Shel Sandberg did not talk. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.320 That's wrong, okay, pretty simple. Where the hell is he? 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.320 I want to compare for a moment to to the 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.280 financial crisis, everybody got called in. He didn't question JP 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.240 even with Lloyd combative JP Morrian with exception you know 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.960 victorim Pantai Okay in city. Look at these names that 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.439 I'm telling you. When I say Jamie, okay, when I 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.879 say Lloyd, when I say Zook, when I say Cheryl, 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.160 that's who you put out. Okay, you don't Mickey Mouse. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:39.119 It don't Mickey Mouse. It don't Mickey Mouse, it says 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:44.080 Kramer about Zuckerberg going m I A on Facebook, the 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:51.200 CEO of Facebook. Some would say because he well, discussion 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.119 for another day. If you've seen the social network, you 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.440 know what direction I was going in. But yeah, he's 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.720 talking about the financial crisis. I think that's way exaggerated 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.400 as to what we're dealing with here with Facebook. This 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.800 is just, frankly not nearly as big of an issue 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.359 as the media wants to make it into a data 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:16.600 analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica UH that had some ties to 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:24.000 Trump's campaign, may have gotten access to information in violation 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.840 of a Facebook policy about uh you know, whether you 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.960 can I think there's an FTC issue here, Federal Trade 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.200 Commission with you have to opt in and you have 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:35.920 to get people notice if you're gonna use your data 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:42.000 for something. So here's why this is a just mounting 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.919 out of a molehill, because it's yet another explanation for 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.679 why Hillary lost the election. That's what this is. And 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.960 Facebook the arguably most powerful company in the world right now. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.320 I mean it's definitely up there. It's definitely like top three, 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.880 maybe top five. Other than the builder Burg's illuminating, and 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.639 you know, Queen of England win't even calls all the shots. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:10.159 Folks google it, google it. But other than you know, 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.520 a couple of other companies, Facebook is among the most 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:17.520 powerful companies in the world. And you have the CEO 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.040 running and hiding right now from this tempest. You know, 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:27.879 this uh wave of outrage over fifty million people who 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.480 may have had their basic Facebook information, that the basic 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.600 Facebook information shared. You get a kid who's running around 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.520 talking about how this is weaponizing people. You know, he 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.879 was part of the Cammebradge analytical team or something, and 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:47.000 now he's the whistleblower. He's weaponizing people's fears. I'm like, 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.680 unless you are writing down that you have a fear 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:53.760 of clowns or arachnids, Facebook does not know your fears. 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.520 And we're not even talking about going through your chat laws. 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.399 The algorithms don't exist to do what some of the 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.520 people in the media reporting on this are calling it 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:09.280 micro targeting. Oh it's not. It's micro targeting because macro 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.240 targeting has another word. It's called public relations. Were marketing. 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.760 It's tough to make that sound that scary. But in 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:21.200 this era of Mueller targeting Facebook puppets and Twitter sock 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:28.240 puppets for our Twitter trolls, for information warfare against the 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:32.120 United States, anything that you can tie to Trump involving 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.119 the Internet and information, you can make sounds scary and 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.399 people will believe it. This is a non story. This 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.040 is not scary. Not only is it not scary, but 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.160 as I mentioned to you yesterday, the Obama campaign back 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:53.040 in was bragging about this and Facebook, and you can 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.199 check this is on the record. You look it up, 0:22:55.240 --> 0:23:01.320 you'll see Facebook figured out what the Obama campaign, the 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.480 Obama digital team was up to with this data, and 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.600 they're like, well, you know, we don't really think that 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:09.640 that's the way we that this should be used under 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.679 our terms of service. Keep in mind, this isn't like 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.640 the Constitution in terms of service for Internet companies. We're 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.159 really discussing here, you know, how the information they're gathering, 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.720 the information they have it, it's just how it's gonna 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.720 be used, and they they already have it. And Facebook 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:24.960 is already using it. By the way, you gotta remember 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.800 that too. Facebook already has all this and is selling 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.680 it to advertisers. It's just a question of how it's 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:34.199 package and what protocols are in place. Some of this 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:36.760 is driven by the FTC. Someone's just Facebook trying to, 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:39.200 you know, be a company that people want to continue 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:44.160 to use. But the reason that for those you are listening, 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.400 the reason that you see ads for things you're like, Oh, 0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:51.320 I kind of like that. I think I might have 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:55.760 to buy those waterproof hiking boots. How did Facebook? No, 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.959 it's not because they have some super secret squirrel algori 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:05.200 rhythm that understands that you like the color beige and 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:09.480 you're somebody who grew up in an outdoorsy family and 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.800 didn't know you did a searcher. You know, they know 0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:14.679 where you are. They can do locate you. You did 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.800 a search recently for footwear. It's wintertime, bam hiking boots. 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:23.600 Look at that. If you're here in New York City, snowshoes. 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:27.600 Because we're about to get she lacked apparently first day 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.800 of spring. Every Yeah, first day of spring, come out 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.000 to the coast, have a few lefts. It's not gonna 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:35.879 be funny. We're up to our up to our ears 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:40.720 in snow tomorrow. But I digress. Maybe I'll be able 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:44.880 to cross country ski into the radio studio the other 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:46.560 part of the Cambra generally, I think, I know they 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:50.359 suspended the CEO, but yeah, that's the people want to know. 0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.600 Who are journalists? Are honest? By the way, about Cambra generally, 0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.320 nickol are the ones we're saying. They're not even a 0:24:55.400 --> 0:25:00.240 good analytics company. They're not even good at this. Why 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.239 is everyone pretending like they're good? Oh? It brings me 0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:06.399 back to my initial point that it's an excuse for 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:10.080 Hillary lost. Someone violated Facebook's terms of service with a 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:14.240 super secret algorithm that was doing micro targeting to exploit 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.080 your fears, and it was information warfare, it was weaponizing 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:25.119
