Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Sentater Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson
Speaker 1: with you, and if you're listening on the radio, it
Speaker 1: is so nice to have you with us wherever you
Speaker 1: are around the country. Senator, We've got a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about on this week's show, including some shocking news
Speaker 1: involves FBI raids. On top of the fact that the
Speaker 1: DOJ has launched a federal probe into America's worst Soros
Speaker 1: DA over preferential treatment for legal immigrants plural.
Speaker 2: Well, we have corruption in Virginia Soros das. We have
Speaker 2: the head of the Virginia Senate being rated by the
Speaker 2: FBI for corruption. We also have extraordinarily enough, a Democratic
Speaker 2: member of the House trying to smuggle fuel into Communist
Speaker 2: Cuba because she supports the communist over the United States
Speaker 2: of America. We're also going to discuss I had a
Speaker 2: chance to visit Neuralink, an incredible company in Texas that
Speaker 2: is literally doing science fiction. But before all of that, Ben,
Speaker 2: I want to take a moment to say thank you
Speaker 2: to our incredible listeners and viewers, everyone on the radio,
Speaker 2: everyone on the podcast, everyone watching on YouTube. Look, we
Speaker 2: do this show three days a week and it's a
Speaker 2: lot of hours. It's right now eleven forty eight pm.
Speaker 2: We do it late at night, and there are times
Speaker 2: when I'm tired, and there are times when Ben is
Speaker 2: frankly dysfunctional and hiccupping like a sick leper on the road.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, So for people that miss let's just
Speaker 1: be clear about where you're going with this. So I
Speaker 1: have got a back injury. They gave me some medicine.
Speaker 1: It gave me my hiccups is one of the side effects.
Speaker 1: And in the last show, I got the hiccups. It
Speaker 1: just could not get rid of them all day. By
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't go to bed to But.
Speaker 2: By the way, for an audio podcast, for an audio
Speaker 2: podcast or a radio show, having the host go like
Speaker 2: every twelve seconds, yeah, I'm just saying for an ordinary listener,
Speaker 2: that would be annoying. But I want to take the
Speaker 2: moment to sank our listeners because they endured it. And
Speaker 2: and Ben, can you read like like like some of
Speaker 2: the comments the listeners made because they embraced you, they
Speaker 2: loved you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my phone stopped working. There was lots of thoughts
Speaker 1: and prayers and there was some Dearest Ben, you gave
Speaker 1: me the best slow creeping smile I've ever had I've
Speaker 1: had in a while. That was one of them, said,
Speaker 1: I did have a little Brandy. You were so committed
Speaker 1: that see, there you go. I am committed to the show, Senator,
Speaker 1: even with the hiccups, I power through to fight the
Speaker 1: comedies every day. So the other I will say the
Speaker 1: number of sides.
Speaker 2: So like to be clear, man, I was impressive. I
Speaker 2: for one, I'm not sure it was about a back injury.
Speaker 2: I just think you were hammered and hicketping because you
Speaker 2: had like ninety two beers that night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: I have no basis in fact, I just figured i'd
Speaker 2: say that because it's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's fun. I do appreciate all the Verdict
Speaker 1: listeners who sent in and made sure that I had
Speaker 1: every possible hiccup remedy in the history of mankind. So
Speaker 1: they were they're committed listeners that gave.
Speaker 2: Last time, I told told Ben my father's rule. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is in eighty seven years in life, he has
Speaker 2: never hiccup twice. And I got to say, I love
Speaker 2: my dad, but he's not a terribly shall we say,
Speaker 2: understanding soul. There you go, and he really does. I've
Speaker 2: hiccuped twice, and and and and he really does view
Speaker 2: it as a fundamental moral failing. Not saying anything, Ben,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's my dad's world view.
Speaker 1: I did, true story. I did go to bed after
Speaker 1: four am because I could not get them to stop.
Speaker 1: It was that long.
Speaker 2: Are you look at that? That sucks? I'm sorry man,
Speaker 2: that it was.
Speaker 1: It was. It was four hours straight before the show.
Speaker 1: Then they went away, then they started halfway through the show,
Speaker 1: and then literally I could not go to bed until
Speaker 1: about four fifteen.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a nightmare, all right. Let me talk about
Speaker 2: something worse. Let's talk about commie prosecutors in Virginia. I
Speaker 2: want to read you a press release from the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice.

Speaker 1: dollars bonus. Now, all right, now back to your press
Speaker 1: conference and the and the and the and everything that
Speaker 1: we've got in detail on this story.
Speaker 2: Press release for the Department of Justice. Justice Department notifies
Speaker 2: Fairfax County, Virginia Commonwealth Attorney of investigation into his plea
Speaker 2: bargaining charging decisions and sentencing policy. Today, the Justice Department
Speaker 2: notified the Fairfax County, Virginia Commonwealth's Attorney, Steve Descano, of
Speaker 2: the initiation of a federal investigation of the commonwealth attorneys
Speaker 2: flea bargaining charging decisions and sentencing policy. The Justice Department
Speaker 2: Civil Rights Division will investigate whether the Office of the
Speaker 2: Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney discriminated against United States citizens by offering
Speaker 2: preferential treatment only to illegal alien criminal defendants. Now, stop
Speaker 2: for a second. How is this possible? What kind of
Speaker 2: prosecutor that says, given every criminal defendant in front of us,
Speaker 2: let's discriminate against US citizens and let's favor illegal aliens. Well,
Speaker 2: that is, in fact what is happening in Northern Virginia.
Speaker 1: It's not only happening, but I think when you look
Speaker 1: at the reach, what you realize is George Soros understood
Speaker 1: that he was going to be able to buy access
Speaker 1: to power. He was going to be able to then
Speaker 1: use those individuals however he wanted to, because he's the
Speaker 1: one that got them elected, and that meant going easy
Speaker 1: on the people that he said, regardless of what the
Speaker 1: law says, are the actual criminal illegal immigrants, including if
Speaker 1: they are committing HAINUS crimes. If he says you let
Speaker 1: him go, you look the other way. I'm the one
Speaker 1: that got you elected. Apparently that's exactly what happened in
Speaker 1: this scenario.
Speaker 2: Well, let me go through the facts and There's an
Speaker 2: article written by Tim Carning entitled Tim Steve Descano America's
Speaker 2: worst prosecutor. Here's what it says. Murderers, rapists, perverts, and pimps.
Speaker 2: These are the folks served by Fairfax County Prosecutor Steve Descano,
Speaker 2: The George Soros funded commonwealth attorney for the su Bourbon
Speaker 2: county of one million, has openly stated he won't enforce
Speaker 2: the law when it clashes with his ideology. The results
Speaker 2: have been ugly. Richard Cox was already a serial sex
Speaker 2: offender when he exposed himself in a women's locker room
Speaker 2: in Fairfax, but Discano let him go, and he proceeded
Speaker 2: to expose himself in a high school girl's locker room.
Speaker 2: Abdul Jalla was arrested more than thirty times, including for
Speaker 2: malicious wounding, but was repeatedly set free. He is now
Speaker 2: accused of stabbing Stephanie Mintner to death. On February twenty third,
Speaker 2: Gret Glire was executed in his bed in a calculated assassination.
Speaker 2: Descano last month let the killer go with an insanity
Speaker 2: plea and a Chinese pimp ran a brothel in a
Speaker 2: residential neighborhood across the street from a school bus stop.
Speaker 2: While police did everything they could to shut it down,
Speaker 2: Discano's office dropped the prostitution charges and let the place
Speaker 2: continue operating until the Republican Attorney General got it shuddered.
Speaker 2: These are just a few of the stories that illustrate
Speaker 2: Discano's extreme tolerance of criminals and harmed constituents. Discano is
Speaker 2: in office because of left wing billionaire George Soros. Discano
Speaker 2: was first elected as Fairfax County's Commonwealth Attorney in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: when he knocked off the incumbent Raymond Morrow in the
Speaker 2: Democrat primary, winning by fifteen hundred votes in a low
Speaker 2: turnout election. Discano raised about one million dollars one million
Speaker 2: dollars between the primary and the general election, a shocking
Speaker 2: amount for a down ballot county race. About two thirds
Speaker 2: of his cash came from two Soros funded organizations, the
Speaker 2: Justice and Public Safety Pack and the New Virginia Majority Pack.
Speaker 2: This is a pattern, It's a pattern over and over again,
Speaker 2: George Soros and the radical leftist the Mark Fisks. Then
Speaker 2: they've discovered a vulnerability in our democracy, in our constitutional republic,
Speaker 2: which is they can can elect what are now called
Speaker 2: Soros das, and these are das that make the decision
Speaker 2: we're going to release murderers, we're going to release rapists,
Speaker 2: We're going to lease violent criminals. You know, you think
Speaker 2: about it. Virtually every Democrat in the Senate has voted
Speaker 2: repeatedly in favor of abolishing the police. That is a
Speaker 2: radical and nutty idea. Five years ago, if you asked
Speaker 2: any person or your favor of abolishing the police, people
Speaker 2: would say no, no, that's crazy. Well, today's Democrat party
Speaker 2: that is now mainstream. There are two ways you abolish
Speaker 2: the police. One, you cut off the funding and shut
Speaker 2: down the police. And we've seen Democrat cities do that
Speaker 2: from New York City to Minneapolis to sadly Austin, Texas
Speaker 2: and our home state of Texas. But the second way
Speaker 2: you abolish the police is you elect a Soorros DA.
Speaker 2: You flood millions of dollars from George Soros, you elect
Speaker 2: a DA. And by the way, the police cannot enforce
Speaker 2: the law. If the DA will not prosecute, doesn't do
Speaker 2: any good for the police to arrest someone. If the
Speaker 2: DA says, you know what, we're going to let these
Speaker 2: violent criminals go, and so now you've got the Department
Speaker 2: of Justice going after this elected Soros DA for giving
Speaker 2: sweetheart deals to illegal immigrants and favoring illegal immigrants over
Speaker 2: US citizens. It is shocking, And the most shocking thing
Speaker 2: is it's not shocking that is. Look, I think George
Speaker 2: Soros and his team of cronies have discovered a vulnerability
Speaker 2: in our democrat society and and and we need to
Speaker 2: fight back against this.
Speaker 1: How do you fight back against this? I mean, when
Speaker 1: you when you see the deals that are being made,
Speaker 1: I think every American should be outraged over this. Illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants should not be able to walk away from the
Speaker 1: laws that they're breaking, but American systems be held accountable
Speaker 1: for breaking those same laws. But if you, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: if you have a DA that decides to do this us,
Speaker 1: what are our options after that? And when you look
Speaker 1: into this investigation, I gotta say, this can't be just
Speaker 1: happening in one place. It's probably happening by activist das
Speaker 1: all over the country. If this is the kickback that
Speaker 1: in essence Soros was guaranteeing himself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way you do it, as you do what
Speaker 2: we're doing right now, you shine a light on it.
Speaker 2: You go to feed him in elections, you go run
Speaker 2: candidates against him, You go run and say, let me
Speaker 2: say a radical idea, violent criminals should be in jail.
Speaker 2: Let me give you some facts about Fairfax County DA
Speaker 2: Steve Descano. He reduced rape, which is normally punishable by
Speaker 2: up to life in prison, to misdemeanor assault, ninety days
Speaker 2: suspended sentence, no jail.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: He dropped gun possession by illegal alien to brandishing. The
Speaker 2: result of it is he is released over and over
Speaker 2: again violent criminals and violent criminal ieal aliens. But I'll
Speaker 2: tell you Virginia's having a tough week because not only
Speaker 2: do they have a radical DA who the Department of
Speaker 2: Justice is now investigating, but the head of the top
Speaker 2: Democrat in the state legislature, this extremely left wing democrat,
Speaker 2: Virginia Senate President pro Tempore Louise Lucas, has now had
Speaker 2: her offices raided by the FBI. Raided by the FBI
Speaker 2: for corruption. The FBI is executed court authorized federal search
Speaker 2: war in Portsmouth, Virginia, an FBI spokesperson told The Washington Examiner,
Speaker 2: adding there's no threat to public safety. This is an
Speaker 2: ongoing investigation. Now, what is the investigation. By the way,
Speaker 2: this particular left wing democrat, she was the leading author
Speaker 2: of Virginia's Democrat Gerrymander that took their six' Five democrat
Speaker 2: majority the congressional delegation and drove it to ten to.
Speaker 2: One and by the, way this particular democrat was particularly
Speaker 2: mad at. Me so WHEN i pointed out that this
Speaker 2: was a corruption of democracy to take a state where
Speaker 2: nearly half of the citizens voted For Donald trump and
Speaker 2: to jerry mander it so that ten seats would Be
Speaker 2: democrat one would Be, republican she, responded blasting. Me she,
Speaker 2: said you all started, it blasting, me we effing finished. It,
Speaker 2: WELL i got to, say right, now she's being prosecuted for,
Speaker 2: corruption prosecuted for corruption in particular favoring marijuana distribution. Locations
Speaker 2: it's an investigation examining possible corruption and bribery related to
Speaker 2: marijuana dispensary. Businesses and this is a, bad bad week
Speaker 2: for left wing Radical democrats In.
Speaker 1: Virginia all, Right, senator this is a very interesting and
Speaker 1: just weird. Story you have a Liberal democratic Congresswoman Jack,
Speaker 1: howell who is Defies President trump to literally go work
Speaker 1: with a foreign, Country, cuba to try to get them.
Speaker 1: Oil And i'm pretty sure that If i'm looking at
Speaker 1: this the right, way this could be against the. Law
Speaker 1: what she's now trying to do is again advocate For.
Speaker 2: Cuba right, Now, Well, ben let me make a statement
Speaker 2: THAT i don't want to be, true AND i want
Speaker 2: to make the, statement and then we're going to assess
Speaker 2: the facts to determine if it's. True here's the. Statement
Speaker 2: too many Elected democrats In congress Hate america and actively
Speaker 2: aggressively and enthusiastically support the communist enemies Of. America, now
Speaker 2: AS i say, that listen to someone who loves our.
Speaker 2: COUNTRY i hate saying those. WORDS i don't want them
Speaker 2: to be. TRUE i want you to listen to the
Speaker 2: words Of Permeila, jayapol who is a left, wing progressive
Speaker 2: communist member of The Democrat party From. Washington listened to
Speaker 2: what she had to say about what she's been Doing.
Speaker 3: Landing In, January trump issued an executive order threatening tariffs
Speaker 3: on any country's supply of fuel To. Cuba this was This,
Speaker 3: january just a few months, ago and oil shipments From,
Speaker 3: venezuela that's Where cuba had been getting it's, oiled were
Speaker 3: halted after THE us operations to Kidnap Nicholas. Baduro Since,
Speaker 3: january only One russian tanker of oil has made it To.
Speaker 3: Cuba in, fact it landed just a couple of days
Speaker 3: BEFORE i. Landed and one tanker has enough oil basically
Speaker 3: for ten to fourteen days Of cuba's oil, needs so
Speaker 3: it's a very limited amount of. Time Now russia said
Speaker 3: they're going to send another. TANKER i was in conversations
Speaker 3: with the ambassadors From mexico and some other, places AND
Speaker 3: i know other countries In Latin america trying to figure
Speaker 3: out how to get oiled their. Body it is a
Speaker 3: crisis beyond. Imagination just this Past, friday On may, First
Speaker 3: trump signed a broad executive order that widens sanctions and
Speaker 3: allows for new penalties similar to what we have For
Speaker 3: iran And, russia against foreign base and firms that are
Speaker 3: dealing With. Cuba and it also reinforces the ban ON us.
Speaker 3: TOURISM i have called these sanctions an economic bombing of
Speaker 3: the infrastructure Of. Cuba it is, illegal it is against
Speaker 3: the war. Being you're talking about this In. Iran, obviously
Speaker 3: to bomb the infrastructure of any country that is against international.
Speaker 3: Law this is essentially doing the same. Thing it is
Speaker 3: bombing the infrastructure Of cuba with economic sanctions that essentially
Speaker 3: ensure that the infrastructure.
Speaker 1: Collapses there's something interesting that she said. There she kept
Speaker 1: saying the Kidnap maduro like it was a crime. Center i'm,
Speaker 1: like WHICH i mean? This like whose side is she?
Speaker 1: On is it on the side Of maduro And? Cuba
Speaker 1: because the way she said it, there she was saying
Speaker 1: like it was a crime What america was.
Speaker 2: Doing so, listen there used to be a rule that
Speaker 2: politics ends at our water's. EDGE i like that. RULE
Speaker 2: i liked a time where we, said, Gosh democrats And
Speaker 2: republicans will, disagree will disagree on how high the top
Speaker 2: marginal tax rate should, be will disagree on some policy.
Speaker 2: Questions but when it comes to Defending, america when it
Speaker 2: comes to standing With american servicemen and, women when it
Speaker 2: comes to standing up against her, Enemies we're going to stand. United,
Speaker 2: sadly that is not this World Representative, jayapaul Who i've never.
Speaker 2: Met she's a, very very left. Wing she is part
Speaker 2: of the. Squad she is part OF aoc and Ilhan
Speaker 2: omar and these extremely left Wing house. Members look when
Speaker 2: she says the kidnapping Of Nicholas. MADUURA i Understand Niolas
Speaker 2: mudua was indicted for being a massive narco. Trafficker OUR
Speaker 2: fbi came down executed a legitimate arrest. Warrant The Delta
Speaker 2: force accompanied them to carry out that arrest. Warrant she

Speaker 2: identical to what every enemy Of america would. Say the
Speaker 2: LAST i checked executing a legitimate arrest. Warrant Nicholas maduro number,
Speaker 2: one he's a tyrant who's responsible for massive oppression of his,
Speaker 2: people for, murder for, Torture for he has Destroyed, venezuela
Speaker 2: just Like Hua chavis. Has but you know, what that's

Speaker 2: Oasis billions of dollars flooding Into. Cuba and it's just
Speaker 2: ninety miles off the coast Of. America and what befuddles.
Speaker 2: MAN i want to ask you This ben take him in.
Speaker 2: It get in the mind of a leftist Congress Wan
Speaker 2: premier J Pal why would you root For cuban communists
Speaker 2: Over america sor? Right.
Speaker 1: SENATRA i want to get into you got to take
Speaker 1: a tour of, neuralink and for people that don't know
Speaker 1: what neuralink, Is number, one explain it to, us what
Speaker 1: the technology is and where this could be taking.
Speaker 2: Us, well let me say our first three stories on
Speaker 2: today's pod had been a little. Depressing number. One a
Speaker 2: Radical George SOROS da In virginia Favoring elliel immigrants Over american,
Speaker 2: citizens releasing, murderers, rapists violent. Criminals that's. Disturbing number. Two
Speaker 2: the Lead democrat The Virginia senate for offices rated by
Speaker 2: THE fbi for, corruption for corruption CONCERNING fbi or concerning marijuana,
Speaker 2: dispensaries that's. Disturbing Number. Three A democrat member of The
Speaker 2: house opens supporting Communist, cuba trying to do everything she
Speaker 2: can to smuggle fuel Into cuba so the communist regime
Speaker 2: continues oppressing the. People that's disturbing this last. SEGMENT i
Speaker 2: don't want you guys to be. DOWN i want to
Speaker 2: give you a moment of. OPTIMISM i want to give
Speaker 2: you a moment of. Hope today In, Austin, TEXAS i
Speaker 2: toured the facilities Of. Neuralink neuralink is a company started
Speaker 2: By Elon. Musk elon is a good friend of. MINE
Speaker 2: i Know elon very. WELL i got to, say neuralink
Speaker 2: feels like it's not. Real it feels like it's something
Speaker 2: out of science. FICTION i toured their. Facilities their facilities are.
Speaker 2: Amazing here's what they're. Doing they're creating technology that can
Speaker 2: implant in the human brain to help people who have
Speaker 2: lost basic, abilities who have lost, mobility who have lost,
Speaker 2: speech who've lost, sight to turn that around and give
Speaker 2: them a life. Again, so for, example what they. Do
Speaker 2: they have a unit and then it's a unit about
Speaker 2: the size of the, quarter so it's a little round.
Speaker 2: Disc most of it is a. Battery and what they
Speaker 2: will do is they will drill a hole in someone's
Speaker 2: skull out the size of the. Quarter they will implant the,
Speaker 2: unit and there are one hundred and twenty eight little,
Speaker 2: filaments little. Strands they are incredibly. Thin they're thinner than
Speaker 2: a strand of. Hair they have a robot surgeon that
Speaker 2: will place each of these one hundred and twenty eight
Speaker 2: strands into different places in the brain where the sort
Speaker 2: of round quarter sized piece is being embedded inside the.
Speaker 2: Skull what this will, do so let's take someone with,
Speaker 2: als an incredibly debilitating disease that incapacitates, people makes them
Speaker 2: unable to, move unable to communicate what they're able to.
Speaker 2: Do or let's take someone that has a spinal cord
Speaker 2: entry that had a horrible, accident broke their spinal, cord
Speaker 2: and so they're apparently. Quadriplegic they can't, walk they can't
Speaker 2: move their. Arms neuralink is embedding these units in people's
Speaker 2: skulls that enable people who are paralyzed to move. Again
Speaker 2: they have all sorts of different. Mechanisms, so for, example
Speaker 2: they have one mechanism they're experimenting, with which is robot.
Speaker 2: Arms robot. Arms so someone Imagine god forbid and look.
Speaker 2: Better you AND i are, blessed and most of the
Speaker 2: folks listening are. Blessed we have our physical. Health imagine
Speaker 2: the nightmare of being a, quadriplegic of being unable to.
Speaker 2: Move what neuralink lets you do is you can think
Speaker 2: and just your thoughts can move robot, arms so you
Speaker 2: can pick things, up you can feed, yourself you can manipulate,
Speaker 2: things you can have the ability to. Move not only
Speaker 2: that for people with als or other debilitating. Diseases let's
Speaker 2: say you're unable to speak neuralink right, now is able
Speaker 2: to implant the the threads in your brain and you're
Speaker 2: able to, think and the computer will speak for. You
Speaker 2: AND i watched that they've been planeted, it they've been.
Speaker 2: Planted they've done a lot of animal expert, experimentation mostly
Speaker 2: on sheep with great. Success they've been planted it in
Speaker 2: twenty five human. Beings and you have people who are
Speaker 2: unable to speak that they think and a computer will,
Speaker 2: SAY i am speaking to you right. Now this is me.
Speaker 2: Thinking can you? Imagine look the madness of feeling imprisoned
Speaker 2: in a cage in your brain where your brain is.
Speaker 2: Functional you're, smart you're, aware you're able to, think but
Speaker 2: your body has shut. Down you cannot. Communicate neuralink lets
Speaker 2: someone communicate by the. Way it also lets THEM i
Speaker 2: saw amazing. Videos it lets them, control for, example a
Speaker 2: computer cursor online so you can draw art just. Thinking
Speaker 2: you can control the art and express. YOURSELF i saw
Speaker 2: one woman who was paralyzed just weeping that she was
Speaker 2: able to have artistic. Expression another component of it that is, amazing,
Speaker 2: then is people who are. Blind people either born blind
Speaker 2: or say they've had an injury that damaged their eyes
Speaker 2: or their optic. Nerves so they can't. See neuralink is
Speaker 2: working on the technology so that you can have a
Speaker 2: camera see what's in front of, you and they broadcast
Speaker 2: that image to your brain so you're able to. See
Speaker 2: so this is technology that lets people who are paralyzed
Speaker 2: cripple move and walk and have their arms and have
Speaker 2: the ability to engage in the, world that lets people
Speaker 2: who are blind, see and lets people who cannot speak.
Speaker 2: Speak it is truly it's a combination of magic and
Speaker 2: science fiction and all of that is happening in our
Speaker 2: great state Of. Texas it is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: INNOVATION i can't, imagine by the, way how many people
Speaker 1: could be affected by this in a positive.
Speaker 2: Way. MILLIONS i was gonna, Say i'm.
Speaker 1: Assuming they gave you a briefing on. That so it
Speaker 1: is in the.
Speaker 2: Millions so they have tens of thousands of people who
Speaker 2: have signed up for their waiting. List so look the,
Speaker 2: process and they talk to me about this they're, doing
Speaker 2: like watching their. Factory they're designing these. Neuralinks they have.
Speaker 2: These SO i met with their, team their. Neurosurgeons so
Speaker 2: when they go in for someone for a human that's
Speaker 2: going in for the, operation the neurosurgeon will will cut
Speaker 2: someone's the skin away from their, scalp will carve a
Speaker 2: little hole in their skull about the size of the.
Speaker 2: Quarter and by the, way where they locate it depends
Speaker 2: on what they're trying to. Do so it's one place
Speaker 2: in the skull if they're trying to do mobility because
Speaker 2: you're unable to, move it's a different place in the.
Speaker 2: Skull if they're trying to do, site it's a different
Speaker 2: place in the skull if they're trying to do, speech
Speaker 2: because they're different parts of the, brain the brain that
Speaker 2: does all. That but the neurosurgeon will cut it. Open
Speaker 2: but then the way they attach one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: eight tiny little, filaments it's really. Cool they built these
Speaker 2: robots that will just it's a needle that it's a
Speaker 2: tiny thin needle that will place each of these filaments
Speaker 2: in different spots so that the filaments are in a
Speaker 2: place to connect with the neurons and to fill the
Speaker 2: voids that we. Have AND i will say they expressed
Speaker 2: frustration that THE fda can be slow during the process
Speaker 2: of approving and one of the Dynamics china is rushing
Speaker 2: to develop this same technology And, china the approvals are almost,
Speaker 2: instantaneous and THE fda it is, very very. Slow i'm
Speaker 2: working to speed this up because like the ability to pure.
Speaker 2: Disease Imagine god, forbid you Were Christopher, read you Were.
Speaker 2: Superman incredibly Like verryle strong, person you get in an
Speaker 2: accident riding a, horse you break your neck and are,
Speaker 2: Paralyze imagine the transformational gift of being able to move.
Speaker 2: Again that's what this technology is. Doing And i'm so
Speaker 2: proud that it's happening in our great state Of. Texas it's.
Speaker 1: Awesome don't forget we did this show three days a
Speaker 1: week as a, Podcast so make sure you stay with.
