1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and.

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: Law enforcement had subdued as suspect thirty one year old

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: Cole Allen. Authority say he was armed with knives and

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: two guns, including a shotgun. He is a teacher from Torrance, California.

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: He took a train to Washington and checked into the hotel.

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: He allegedly sent his family a message just before the

9
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 3: attack describing himself as a friendly federal assassin.

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: A California teacher would have this sort of view. I

11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: hate to hear that.

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: This is it.

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 4: Gotta be practically genius, smart guy. He got his engineering

14
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 4: degree at cal Tech for crying out loud. But a

15
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: job or some sort or swayed by Internet whatever.

16
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Thought he might be able to take out a substantial

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: part of the cabinet, the president and several of his secretary.

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 4: Do you have a sense of how close he actually

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: got to being able to squeeze off shots in that direction.

20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: I figure that out. Not very close, not very close.

21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had to go down a flight of stairs

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: one eighty turn down another little flight of stairs down

23
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: to the ballroom level, and then he would have had

24
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: to get past the security at the ballroom door, which

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: I can't describe in detail because I don't remember, but.

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Plus there were secret service all over the room.

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: It's still disturbing that he was there and got as

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: close as he did.

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: And who knows.

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: First forty eight hours rule, right, let's expand that to

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: seventy two hours.

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: It could be that what we hear about security and

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: all turns out to be completely false. A lot of

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: the things I thought when I went to bed Saturday

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: night turned out to not be true. Sunday, Mark Alpern wrote,

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 4: it was to me more strange than scary. I will

37
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 4: only say this, Securing the Hilton is, to be sure,

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: a challenge. But anyone with the slightest bit of sense

39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: who spent any time at the hotel in the forty

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: eight hours before, including immediately before the dinner, could see

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: how vulnerable the event was.

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: Well.

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: The shooter himself this Alan Kook in his manifesto, which

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 4: included stuff that he wrote while he was at So

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: he checked into the hotel the day before, which was

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: a pretty clever plan.

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: I know how I'll be in the hotel. All be

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: in the hotel.

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: He checked into the hotel with a room the night before,

50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: he'd planned that ahead, and he wrote, no damn security,

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: Not in transport, not in the hotel, not in the event.

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: He wrote, alleging he noticed a sense of arrogance about

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: the security situation when he arrived at the Washington Dilton.

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: The security at the event is all outside, focused on

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: protesters and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about

59
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: what happens if someone checks in the day before, which

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: he has a point.

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess the.

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Perimeter I heard it written was designed to stop an army.

63
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: But he just checked in the hotel and he was

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: inside the perimeter, A nice perimeter.

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: Like he went on to write this, like if I

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: was an Iranian agent instead of an American citizen, I

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: could have brought a damn moddusin here.

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what a mod deuce is. Was that

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: a bomber? Was that a thing? Is that a hipster term?

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: You're a bred dog? I don't know.

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: If I was an Iranian agent instead of an American citizen,

72
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: I could have brought a damn modusin here. No one

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: had noticed. S actually insane, he wrote.

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: He you know, we were talking earlier about whether a

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: guy like came is quote unquote crazy. He seen seems

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: to be quite sane to me, just ideological and swept

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: up in evil.

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: He chose train travel because they don't have much, hardly

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: any security on a train. He was able to bring

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: his guns on the train, so that's why he traveled

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: across the country with this.

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's you know, that's not that's not.

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: My dog is talking to me crazy certainly to be

84
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 4: able to think, I know what I'll do, I'll check

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: in the night before that. I'm in the hotel already,

86
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: I'm inside the security perimeter. Criminal genius. He entered the

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: hotel armed with a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives

88
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: around eight thirty sprinted and he pretty fast runner ran

89
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: right by the agents, and then shots were fired. And

90
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: it seems like it's still not completely certain whether it

91
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: was him who squeezed off a shot or another agent's

92
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 4: bullet that hit the dude in the one secret Service

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: agent got hit in the vest.

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fine if you hadn't heard. So was

95
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: this suspect shot or was he tackled? Or how did

96
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: they come to happen he.

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: Was not shot. I still don't quite understand that either.

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: How he ended up on the ground shirtless. You know,

99
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: if he's running through there squeezing off shots or with

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: a gun, I don't know. You know, still don't completely

101
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: know that, Yes, Katie, No, it's just pretty amazing to

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: me that there were reports that law enforcement and Secret

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: Service returned fire and he didn't get hit.

104
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: Once we need to go to the range, guys. Yeah,

105
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: I well, I got him on the ground somehow or other. Right,

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: how did he not end up shot? Is really amazing.

108
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: There must be an explanation for that. I had another

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: point I was going to make on the shirt ground.

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Shirtless didn't get a shot thinking about that, just for perspective.

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: This hotel has eleven hundred and seven guest rooms, forty

112
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: seven meeting rooms, and four on site dining venues sometimes

113
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: known as restaurants, And they say it can't really be

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: fully sealed off for a high security event, but they've

115
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: just always had it there and it's always been fine,

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: because what's new The idea that my murderous rage is

117
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: just it's like the school shooting social contagion. Assassination attempts

118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: are a social contagion.

119
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: So a couple of things on this.

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 4: A person that I know who has worked in security

121
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: at that level said, this was not has never been

122
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: a I forget what the classification is, but it's whatever

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: acronym for events like we've been to a convention where

124
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: the security perimeter is way out there and then there's

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: multiple layers of security.

126
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: And everything like that.

127
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: Whatever that declaration is, they don't have for this event.

128
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 4: For some reason, this security person said, can you imagine

129
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: how it would look if we went to that effort

130
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: to protect journalists and politicians but a not a lot

131
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: of other events where it's not the elite of Washington

132
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: d C. I don't know about that, but it reminds

133
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: me of this book I've mentioned five hundred and thirty

134
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: times in the last couple of weeks. Ike's Bluff, which

135
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm rereading. Eisenhower when he talked about the military industrial complex,

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: he wasn't just talking about spending in money and blah blah,

137
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. It was becoming a fortress, that the

138
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: United States becoming a fortress out of such a a

139
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: search for security, like the ultimate security, you know, because

140
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: there's there's momentum for that because money gets spent and

141
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: you can't you don't get beat up, you get beat

142
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: up if something bad happens. You don't get beat up politically,

143
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: if you protect all people. Blah blah blah. And he

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: was just worried about becoming a fortress and you know,

145
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: all freedom going away because it's just you know, never

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: ending magnetometers and showing IDs and this and that and

147
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: that is a problem.

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: So that he was prescient.

149
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this event, I'm sure the hotel would say, well,

150
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: unless you're going to make us not have hotel guests

151
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: for three days, which we can't do financially, the event

152
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: can't be here anymore. And it probably won't be there anymore,

153
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,239
Speaker 4: which was the point Trump was making about. That's why

154
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: I think we ought to have the ballroom because then

155
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: it is by definition one of those security level events

156
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: because everything getting into the White House is that scure.

157
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Right, I don't know, except when the guy ran through

158
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the front door and ran around for a while, or

159
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: is that during Obama's years.

160
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't remember when that was, but that was astounding.

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 4: I don't know how you avoid becoming a fortress, because

162
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: it definitely seems like we keep moving step by step

163
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 4: that direction.

164
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: Well.

165
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but if you

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: are in a country that has fewer and fewer shared

167
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: values and a radical chic going on, where people think,

168
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, murderous intent is fine and it's justified because

169
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: there's never going to be another election. Do we have

170
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: the tape Agavenue, So we were referencing it off the

171
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: air in which he said fairly recently that you know,

172
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: if Trump wins, there will never be another election, right,

173
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: I mean, good lord, you can justify murder if that's true, Gavin,

174
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: you just explained why murder is justified. And now another

175
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: attempted murder has happened. People ought to own that crap

176
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: what they want, all right.

177
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 5: And.

178
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: Then endlessly you have the well your side said this,

179
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 4: well your side said this.

180
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: You all gotta stop. Everybody's got to stop on both sides.

181
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: Nobody should ever say if the other side wins, they'll

182
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: never be another election.

183
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: Ever.

184
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: Again, that's a ridiculous thing to say, right, stop.

185
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: Saying that sort of thing, you know, And then we

186
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: got this other angle. Here's Trump on sixty minutes last night.

187
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: You didn't see this because this part didn't air, But

188
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: it's an interesting point.

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 6: I hesitate to ask you about this, but as you know,

190
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 6: these conspiracy theories out there on the left and the right,

191
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: that the event was staged, or that it didn't happen.

192
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 6: What last I didn't that, Yeah, that it was because

193
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 6: it was your first time there. That Butler didn't happen.

194
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: These conspiracy theories that are gaining traction.

195
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: On October seven didn't happen, and World War two didn't happen,

196
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 5: and the Holocaust didn't happen, and many things didn't happen. Yeah, no,

197
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 5: I hear it. I don't know. I think they're more

198
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 5: sick than they are con people. But there's a lot

199
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: of commons. I haven't heard that last night didn't happen.

200
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 5: What Usually it takes a little bit longer. Yeah, Usually

201
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 5: they wait about two or three months to start saying that.

202
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: Well, the people at the top making money off of

203
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: this are conmen. But the people that believe it, I

204
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: think sincerely believe it. And I watched a couple of

205
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: different videos. Keith Oberman, who used to be a really

206
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: really big deal in MSNBC, did a whole show yesterday

207
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: with laying out all the facts that showed that this

208
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: was staged.

209
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

210
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: We shared this a couple hours ago in mailbag, but

211
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: frequent correspondent Pallow pointed out that he had he read

212
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: the AI summary of reader comments to the wah Post

213
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: coverage of the shooting, et cetera, and the AI summary

214
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: says the comments reflected a mix of skepticism and conspiracy

215
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: theories regarding a reported shooting incident, et cetera, et cetera.

216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Many commenters suggested the event was staged to distract from

217
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: political issues such as low poll numbers, the situation around

218
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: or the Epstein files, et ceteratce not just a few

219
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: nut jobs. That was the AI summary of the comments.

220
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: How are we supposed to And I realized commenters online

221
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: are a certain sort of person, But are we supposed

222
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: to run a democracy where that's like the main takeaway

223
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: from a nut job?

224
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: Try to get in and shoot the president? Right?

225
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 4: And I never know how many people believe this was

226
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: a staged thing. Saturday Night, will believe that is it

227
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 4: hundreds thousands, tens of thousands, or millions.

228
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: I don't have the slightest idea.

229
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: As you can see Saturday night, you never know when

00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: Keith Obernman's a super smart guy. He doesn't believe that

253
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: what's her name? The White House press spokesman saying before

254
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 4: the event, Oh, there are gonna be some shots thrown

255
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: tonight means she knew the shooting was gonna happen for instance.

256
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: Mind or is he just a pure grifter?

257
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 4: I think he looked at Candace and Tucker and people

258
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: like that and thought, I'm gonna get me some money too.

259
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 4: I think that's all these people are doing. They're just grifters.

260
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: But with the First Amendment, I don't know what.

261
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I really don't know.

262
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Republicans survived the Internet. I

263
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: like that sounds hyperbolic.

264
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: But what a thing, What a thing.

265
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 4: I've got something so interesting coming up later this hour.

266
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: Remember that Special Services guy that made a bet on

267
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: whether or not Maduro would be snatched up and made

268
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: a bunch of money.

269
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, he's in trouble.

270
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 4: He shouldn't be in trouble, And I'll explain why the

271
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 4: contraryan opinion, I won't have it.

272
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: Among other things. On the waysty here.

273
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 7: The Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down soon, and

274
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 7: he just said that his biggest regret was flubbing Apple Maps.

275
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 7: You can tell you really meant it because he said

276
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 7: that from his.

277
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: Car while floating in the lake. Yeah, he said Apple

278
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Maps is the biggest regret.

279
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 7: Then everyone who's spent four thousand dollars on the Apple

280
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 7: Vision pros like.

281
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: You sure about it?

282
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: Uh, that's pretty good. I think it's a natured fallon.

283
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: I don't even remember Apple taking a shot at Maps.

284
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: Obviously it didn't work. And yeah, the Apple Vision pro

285
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: is definitely not caught on, even though I've I've tried

286
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: it and it's amazing, but not an appetite for it apparently.

287
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

288
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, between like motion sickness and just the novelty wearing off.

289
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: I agree.

290
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: I've tried those systems, not that one, but they're amazing.

291
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: I would don't think I've got to have one, but

292
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: then I think, yeah, probably not.

293
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: Nobody has solved the six month problem yet, the six

294
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: month problem being in six months, it's in a drawer

295
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: somewhere and you don't use it anymore.

296
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Nobody has solved that yet, how interesting, Maybe you ought

297
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: to just maybe a rental is the right model for that. Uh,

298
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: speaking of material goods, this could be the worst criminal

299
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,359
Speaker 1: in the history of criminals, although he certainly is ambitious.

300
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: This guy buys a ninety thousand dollars rolexo and then

301
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: he becomes convinced that it's not real.

302
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: That would suck.

303
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Well yeah, uh, and so he palmed it off on

304
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: a different rolex dealer for three other rolexes. He said

305
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: he didn't want cash, he wanted more watches, so he

306
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: traded the one fake rolex for three real rolexes, which

307
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: would be a crime, I believe. But then the the

308
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: that dealer took the rolex to be authenticated and it

309
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent authentic, and it's job.

310
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: How does an idiot like you have ninety dollars ever watch?

311
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 4: So now this guy is going to do six months

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: in prison for a ten did fraud and a couple

313
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 4: of other crimes because he indeed, well it's craud. Still,

314
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: there were a bunch of there are a bunch of

315
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: other things that made it a crime because of things

316
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: he withheld.

317
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: And but I mean, you're just bad at crime, but

318
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: good at something.

319
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: Apparently you got nearly six figures for a watch, you.

320
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Get nice eye for watches. I guess it was the

321
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: rolex gmt. Saru keeps time, I think tells what time

322
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: of day is, but there.

323
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: Are only one hundred of them in circulation, or something

324
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: great in the date. Does it also give you the date?

325
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: You pay extra for that? I have no idea. Bad

326
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: at crime?

327
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: Oh well, coming up, why you shouldn't look as harshly

328
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: as you maybe did on the Special services guy who

329
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: bet on whether or not Moduro would be captured even

330
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: though he was playing the operation and made four hundred

331
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. And when you hear you're gonna agree with me,

332
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: I guarantee you.

333
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to steal any thunder or anything. I

334
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: think I could make a pretty good case that he

335
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: is a bad guy, But again, I don't want to

336
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: get ahead of ourselves. Speaking of monetary matters, the Wall

337
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: Street Journal with Qwheat an article seven surprising clauses couples

338
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: are putting into their prenups. But the really surprising thing

339
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: is the percentage of couples that have prenups these days,

340
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: way higher than I guessed, Wow, way are you going

341
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: to tell us later or no, I'll tell us later now.

342
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 4: Hey, I got a quick question about the shooting that

343
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 4: I popped out of my head and popped back in.

344
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: Sure that video that we've all seen of the guy

345
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 4: running by really fast and getting.

346
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: By, why is that video so bad?

347
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: Everybody who owns a phone, who's got four K perfect video?

348
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 4: Why does that look like something from nineteen fifty? I

349
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: guess that that's the security cameras. They got a hotel

350
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: at this point, do a best buy, spend forty dollars

351
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: and get the good kind.

352
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it just never factors in. They never use the footage,

353
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: nothing that ever happens.

354
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. That is a good question though.

355
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had a lot of good stuff on the way.

356
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: You're going to be disgusted with this next segment, so

357
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 4: I would definitely stick around if you want to be

358
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 4: discod Yeah, Armstrong and Getty.

359
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 8: Big game hunter from California was killed apparently by an

360
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 8: elephant in Central Africa. Ernie Dosio was seventy five years

361
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 8: old and hunted with groups that include Wagonhound Outfitters Friends.

362
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 8: Adosio was part of a group tracking antelopes when they

363
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 8: stumbled upon a herd of elephants protecting they were young,

364
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 8: and he was gored to death.

365
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: Yeah good animals. Goot one, I have no problem with that.

366
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 4: You wouldn't some of you lose some.

367
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: Stumbled on or herd of elephants, the elephant herds not

368
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: show up on ways or what?

369
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: How does that work?

370
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: So we talked about this Peter Gearness person a while back.

371
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: He and you'll have to correct me if I'm wrong.

372
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: I've done some research on this. He does this these

373
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 4: satirical posts on Twitter where he claims he's somebody then

374
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: lays out a really long story, but he's not actually

375
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: that person. But the reason it's been hailed as such

376
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 4: valuable satire is he puts in the work of having

377
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 4: the actual information that that person would have. Okay, does

378
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 4: that make any sense? Be Like if I said I

379
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: am the I am the head nurse at this hospital,

380
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 4: but then I take information that exists various places open

381
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: and compile it and then like let people know something. Yeah,

382
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: it just lands harder that way.

383
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: Anyway.

384
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: That's what he's doing here. So I'll read it this way.

385
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 4: And it's about the soldier that got arrested for betting

386
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: on whether or not we snatched Maduro.

387
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: I'll I'll just read it from the beginning. I thought

388
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: this was very interesting.

389
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 4: I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack

390
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right

391
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.

392
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: The right stack is always taller. On Wednesday morning, I

393
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: watched the soldier get arrested on CNN. I am a

394
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 4: disclosure analyst for the House Ethics Committee. He's not, actually,

395
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 4: but all this information is publicly available. That is you're

396
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: about to hear. I've held this position for eleven years.

397
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: My job is to receive the forms, verify their comple completeness,

398
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 4: and file them. I do not investigate, I do not flag,

399
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 4: I do not refer.

400
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: I file.

401
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: The soldier's name is Gannon Ken van Dyke. He's thirty

402
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Braggey, who

403
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 4: Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a

404
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: prediction market called Polymarket. On January tewond he bet thirty

405
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 4: two thy five hundred that the President of Venezuela would

406
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: be removed from power. On January third, he helped remove

407
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: the president of Venezuela from power. He collected four hundred

408
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 4: and nine thousand dollars. We all heard that story last week.

409
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: He has been charged with five federal crimes commodities fraud,

410
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 4: wire fraud, unlawful use of confidential government information, theft of

411
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 4: non public government information, unlawful monetary transaction. The Department Justice

412
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 4: called it the first ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts.

413
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 4: I watched this on television in our break room. Then

414
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: I walked back to my desk and processed a late

415
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 4: financial disclosure form from a member of the House Financial

416
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: Services Committee who purchased two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

417
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a

418
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: closed door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes. The filing

419
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: was forty seven days late. The Stock Act requires disclosure

420
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: within forty five days. The penalty for late filing is

421
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars. I waived it, and he goes on

422
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 4: with many, many examples of that that are out. This

423
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: information is pup. Just nobody gives a crap enough to

424
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 4: pay attention to it. I wave most of them. He said, sorry,

425
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: I lost my plate place. I'll get back to it.

426
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: I waive most of them.

427
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty one, fifty four members of Congress and

428
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal,

429
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 4: most were waived. I have a form for this waiver.

430
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: The Forum has a box that says reason I write

431
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 4: administrative delay. My approval rate is one hundred percent of

432
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: By waiving the delay. Any other field that number would

433
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 4: trigger an audit. In mine, it's called thoroughness. Let me

434
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: show you what I processed last year. January, a senator

435
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 4: on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth

436
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: one point two million dollars. Three days later, his committee

437
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded

438
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: its projected cost by three hundred and forty percent. The

439
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: stock dropped eight percent. He filed the disclosure sixty one

440
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: days late. I calculated the fine. It was two hundred dollars.

441
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 4: His chief of staff asked if it could be waived.

442
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: He did not ask what the Senate trade it on.

443
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: Nobody asks that the Forum does not have a file

444
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: a field for it.

445
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: I waived the fine.

446
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: The senator's portfolio returned to twenty three point four percent

447
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five, while the S and P five

448
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: hundred returned sixteen point eight percent. I mean, and he's

449
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 4: got example after example of this. People on committees who

450
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 4: have information clearly trade on that information make lots of money.

451
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: Nobody bats an eye. But the Special Forces dude, who

452
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: it seems like did exactly the same thing, has been

453
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: charged with five different crimes. Now I'm not four having

454
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: anybody you know in Special Forces doing this sort of thing.

455
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: But you understand the problem here.

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: All right.

457
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the argument is that this guy shouldn't

458
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: be prosecuted. The argument is we've got to use that

459
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: as a lever to say, who woo, you're going to

460
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: prosecute him. You got to prosecute them and just insist

461
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: on it.

462
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: Wow, does it surprise anybody that that's the way it works.

463
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: You file your.

464
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: Form after the d it's late, You get fined two hundred.

465
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: Bucks, and nobody looks at it, and.

466
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 4: Nobody looks at the form and does the math on.

467
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: Wait a second, you traded what when? And then your

468
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: committee did that? Hum?

469
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: That seems suspicious.

470
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: I almost admire the cajones of trading on insider information

471
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: making hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in saying, hey,

472
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: can you wait that two hundred dollars?

473
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: Fine? I mean that's cute, that's really cute. Here's a good.

474
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: Spot check inventory thing on your conscience. Could you go

475
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 4: to Washington, D C. As a congress person find out

476
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 4: this is what everybody does. This is why they all

477
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: end up rich having jobs that don't pay that much money.

478
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 4: This is what everybody does. It's just the you know,

479
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: when in room and not do it yourself.

480
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: Sure, one of your colleagues probably hands you their dog

481
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: eared copy of How to Get Rich while in Congress,

482
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: and you think, wow, you look around that it would

483
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: take a very very ben Sassian character to behave that way.

484
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: It will honorably and you could start really small on well,

485
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: I see which way the wind is blowing on this

486
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 4: particular issue. I'm going to you know, invest accordingly, and

487
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 4: you'd go from there to you know, specific drug being

488
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 4: approved and you know it before anybody else.

489
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think so, Yeah, there's I'm sure there's uh,

490
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: there are Latin phrases to describe this. But you have

491
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: a society right like ours, and then you have certain

492
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: things that are declared to be illegal or unacceptable. But

493
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: if there's never any sanction from them, de facto there's

494
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: no prohibition against it. Now, I could make the argument

495
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: that this fighting man was different because of troop movements

496
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: and intelligence.

497
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: Well, but I don't want to get hung up on that.

498
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: But it's such a classic to me. You really make

499
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 4: an example of this guy because you will not we

500
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 4: will not put up with this. Yeah, in Washington, d C.

501
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: Using classified information to profit. Oh, here's another example from

502
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: the guy, and again this is public information. In March,

503
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 4: a member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth nine point

504
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: two million dollars reported forty three separate transactions in a

505
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 4: single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected

506
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: by legislation. The member co sponsored. The timing on eight

507
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 4: of those twelves was within a two week window of

508
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: committee action. I logged all forty three. None were flagged.

509
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 4: We do not flag, We only file. I asked my

510
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: supervisors once what would happen if I flagged a filing.

511
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: She said, we do not have a form for that.

512
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 4: I never asked again. Wow, that's this is straight out

513
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 4: souls Innitz and her cough car or the Catch twenty

514
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 4: two book, right right, right?

515
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And again again this number.

516
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: You know, because we have transparency in government, we just

517
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 4: do not care enough as a voting public, taxpayer public

518
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: to like look at.

519
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: This stuff and you know, get a movement going.

520
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty I processed eight hundred and forty seven disclosures,

521
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three twelve hundred, and twenty twenty five

522
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: sixteen hundred, so it seems to be growing. The number

523
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero.

524
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: The nuperator changes, the denominator does not. I'm not completely discouraged.

525
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: Did you say we'd be disgusted? I am that too

526
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: and discouraged.

527
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 2: Yes.

528
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 4: Fourteen years, five hundred and thirty five members of Congress,

529
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 4: you know, Congress and the Senate. Six hundred and thirty

530
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 4: five million dollars in trades last year alone, Zero cases

531
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: of anybody being charged with anything. Well, it's not illegal,

532
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 4: de facto, it's not illegal.

533
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm thinking about ways to police this and it, boy,

534
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: it'd be really, really difficult because you know, you call

535
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: your brother, your brother in law, your school schoolyard chum,

536
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the two of you form an LLC together,

537
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: and the money flows to the LLC and the LLC

538
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: he pays for the you know, I just yeah, it'd.

539
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: Be hard to stop.

540
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: And if there's ever enough momentum, and there probably won't

541
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 4: ever be, they'll ban members themselves from trading. Okay, so

542
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: now your husband or wife does or your brother what

543
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: you just described.

544
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so on a totally different topic, we're like

545
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, Oh yeah, yeah, we're desprit to be fair.

546
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: Donald Trump Junior, oh yeah yeah. And Eric, don't leave

547
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: him out of that, that blond headed pastard.

548
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: Anyway, the hotel where the shooting happened the other night

549
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: had crappy cameras that looked like they're from the early

550
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: seventies at best. They really need simply save home security,

551
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: which is a whole security ecosystem. It's not just a

552
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: camera that sends you a text message, hey somebody kicked

553
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: down your door. It's sensors, cameras for inside and out

554
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: in twenty four to seven professional monitoring. So in the

555
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: event of a break in, fire, floods, simply safe Sage

Speaker 1: just are ready to take action.

557
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: Man, that must be expensive. It is not twenty four

558
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: to seven monitoring for a fraction of what the traditional

559
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: brands charge. No long term contracts because they believe you're

560
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 4: gonna like it enough to keep using it.

561
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: And paying for it.

00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can insider trade on your committee and

Speaker 4: I just they got to be just like really really

572
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: old cameras in that hotel, right, because there's no reason

573
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: in the modern world. The cheapest, crappiest computer you buy

574
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: has a better phone, has a better camera than that

575
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: one that showed the guy running through the secret service checkpoint.

576
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: Was it recording to VHS tape set on what was

577
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: it extra long play or whatever back in the.

578
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: Day and redubbed eight times?

579
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

580
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

581
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: So between getting back to the graft story, why did

582
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: this not happen in the past.

583
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: Or has it forever? But do you think we're moving

584
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: toward more ethical or less ethical as a society.

585
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was just going to say, if I

586
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: were to like, I was just communicating with Claude about

587
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: a sports injury and what I should do about it.

588
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: Claude and I've become very very close.

589
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: But if I were to say to Claude, for instance, Claude,

590
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to come up with a new career.

591
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: I need the next chapter in my life.

592
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in stock trading, in particular, trading on

593
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: inside information that most people don't have.

594
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: And I'd like to get rich.

595
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, I have no interest in legislation,

596
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: but I'd like to be an Instagram influencer or you know,

597
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: or big presence on Twitter. Do you think Claude would say, Dude,

598
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: clearly you got to run for Congress. I mean, because

599
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: that's where Congress is now, of insider trading, influencers. A republic,

600
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: if you can keep it, madam, monarchy now or something.

601
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: We lasted two hundred and fifty years. It's funny our

602
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: democracy's fallen apart right on our birthday.

603
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: It happens. It's a coincidence. But holy crap, I seriously,

604
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: where do we go from it?

605
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: All?

606
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 5: Right?

607
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: Here's here's the question, and you can text us at

608
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: four one five two nine five KFTC or drop us

609
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: an email mail bag at armstrung and getty dot com.

610
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: Please say something encouraging right now. Please anything, guys it's

611
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: not or we can turn it around because or or

612
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe just send me a bottle of scotch.

613
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: But can anybody think of anything encouraging to say right now?

614
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: It's always darkest before the dawn.

615
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: It's always darkest before it's totally black. We got to

616
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: ask Tom McClintock because he's been I mean to the

617
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: point of, like, I don't know. Sometimes I thought he

618
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: needed mental health care. He refuses to give up on

619
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: the Republic. He thinks we've been through dark dark days

620
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: before we've turned them around. We can turn this one around.

621
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

622
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: I think the scammers have gotten so good the system

623
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: can't contain them anymore.

624
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. At some point it comes down

625
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: to personal ethics and well, uh, we're doomed than you.

626
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: Probably helps.

627
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: If you think the other side is evil, then maybe

628
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: you think, well, I got to get mine or for

629
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: since the egle evil party is in charge, or this

00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 4: is the last election we'll ever have or whatever other nonsense.

631
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: You're believing.

632
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: Your ethical experiment though, I mean, would you do it

633
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: if you were there? I mean picture you walk into

00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean no, you're not supposed to.

636
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: But we've been doing it for years and years and

637
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: nobody cares. It's fine. Seriously, nobody has ever said cut

638
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: that out.

639
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: On any level, you'd think, all right, I don't grab

640
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: a don't under or a can of coke or whatever.

641
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: Make nine million dollars in trades, yeah, I don't give

642
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: some of it to charity. Booo any thoughts on this

643
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 4: and give it to the SBLC. Text line four one KFTC.

644
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: My son had an overnight boy scout trip over the weekend.

645
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: He was grub master this time, which means you're in

646
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: charge of bringing and cooking the food for everybody, and

647
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 4: he was.

648
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: He got rave reviews as the grub master. He thought

649
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: he was the best they've ever had. So he's very,

650
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: very proud of that. If you're going to get one job, right,

651
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: be a good grub master.

652

Speaker 4: Sandwiches for lunch, hot dogs for dinner, s'mores, everybody was thrilled.

653
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: Nice.

654
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: So for some reason, the Wall Street Journal is doing

655
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: a whole big series on divorce and it's various aspects

656
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: and money and recovering, and.

657
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: I will not be reading that.

658
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 4: Uh.

659
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: Here's one of their articles, Seven surprising clauses couples are

660
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: putting into their pre nupts.

661
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: And some of the clauses are.

662
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: Kind of interesting, but I was wowed by the following statistics.

663
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: About one in five adults who were either married or

664
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: engaged had a prenuptial agreement, according to a twenty twenty

665
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: three pole about twenty percent, but the share was far

666
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: higher among younger adults who were engaged or had been married.

667
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: Forty one percent of gen Z respondents said they had

668
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: signed one, as did forty seven percent of millennials.

669
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: Because when she leave your ass, she's gonna leave with half,

670
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: I said, who wants prey up?

671
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: Who wants right up? Oh my lord, is that that

672
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: that racist Kanye Fellows music? Exactly? I won't have it.

673
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 4: Oh wow, So forty one percent for she gonna buy

674
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 4: TKO with your money, but she goes out and gets

675
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 4: light Bow for you with your money?

676
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I just I don't you think I don't

677
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: have that memorized, Katie, trust me, I do. That's very good.

678
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: Strangely, they say that not having a prenup or having

679
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: a shoddy one can be a recipe for a financial disaster.

680
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Uh Yeah, Okay, I don't know. I

681
00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: mean I.

682
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 4: I still have a very negative reaction to the idea

683
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 4: of a prenup. It just seems like planning for failure

684
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 4: and planning for duplicitousness or something like you don't trust

685
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: the person I don't know. On the other yeah, on

686
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 4: the other hand, I can certainly see the other side

687
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: of it.

688
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a guy who married his college sweetheart, I

689
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: can't picture it, but I understand that other people with

690
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: different experiences absolutely could. It seems very uncomfortable to me.

691
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: But anyway, some of the clauses that they're thrown in

692
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: these days on embryos, who gets them in a divorce

693
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: A thorny legal question, and a common provision is that

694
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: if parties are unable to agree to the disposition of

695
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: the embryos within five years of a termination event that

696
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: would be a divorce, the party she'll jointly instruct the

697
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: storage facility to discard the embryo. You can't use them

698
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: without both people's consent. Crypto, this one's weird, so because

699
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: it's kind of gone mainstream ish. Any cryptocurrency owned prior

700
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: to or acquired during the marriage, and any appreciation, income,

701
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: or growth of some cryptocurrency shall not be deemed marital

702
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: or community property, regardless of the extent of increase in

703
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: value during the marriage. So if I, as the husband,

704
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: make a crypto investment that's exempted from it's grown during

705
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: our marriage, so it's community property. Why would crypto be

706
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: any different than any other investment, No idea.

707
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Trust funds.

708
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: This I get if you're like getting a trust fund

709
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: from your grandparents or your parents or whatever. And I've

710
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: actually been involved in that because if you know, kid

711
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: number one passes away and it goes to their no

712
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: good spouse who is abusive or whatever, and then that

713
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,479
Speaker 1: spouse's family instead of to your other kids or whatever,

714
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: that that would be bad. How to divide assets pet
