The most 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: government officials are dumb as rocks, but Biden has a 21 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: set like I just can't believe. And I'm trying to think, 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: is this guy stupider than Kamala Harris. He's certainly more dishonest. 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: Alejandro majorcis that silly little gerbil who is running Homeland Security. 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: He went out dozens of times and insisted that the 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: border is secure. I mean they would ask him in 26 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: louder and louder and more aggressive tones, and he would 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: insist the border is secure. He's one of the biggest 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: liars I've ever seen in American government, you know, bureaucrat division. 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: So he came out over the weekend and oh, here's 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: a good place to go for truth. 31 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: ABC News. 32 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: The show is called This Week with George Stephanopolis, another 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: little weasel who got forced into a settlement along with 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: ABC News to give Donald Trump fifteen million dollars in 35 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: a defamation lawsuit because Stephanopolis kept insisting that Trump is 36 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: a convicted rapist, which is not what was found by 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: the judge. But Stephanopolis said it so many times and 38 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 3: he was wrong so many times that Trump sued and 39 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: ABC decided to settle for fifteen million. You know where 40 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 3: the fifteen million is going to set up the Trump 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: Presidential Museum. 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: That's right. 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: The first opening contribution for the Trump Museum is going 44 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: to come from ABC News on behalf of George Stephanopolis 45 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: because mister journalists. By the way, Stephanopolis has been a. 46 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: A virus for over thirty years. 47 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: He was in charge of Bill Clinton's Bimbo eruption squad 48 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: way back in the early to mid nineteen nineties. Whenever 49 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 3: one of Clinton's girlfriends got out of hand and started 50 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 3: telling stories, Stephanopolis would send goons to quiet the lady down. 51 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 3: And so, of course he comes back as a major 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 3: network television anchor. Of course, so now little Gerbil my 53 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: Orcis is set to talk to Stephanopolis. And here is 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: the new reason that my arcis gives for people seeing 55 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: all the drones. 56 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: There's no question that people are seeing drones. And I 57 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: want to assure the American public that we in the 58 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 4: federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist 59 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings. 60 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Some of those sightings. 61 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: Are in fact drones, some are manned aircraft that are 62 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: commonly mistaken for drones, and we do see duplicative reporting, 63 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: but there's no question that drones are being cited. Let 64 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 4: me set the record straight here, George. There are thousands 65 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 4: of drones flown every day in the United States, recreational drones, 66 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: commercial drones. 67 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: That is the reality. 68 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: And in September of twenty twenty three, the Federal Aviation 69 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 4: Administration the FAA change the rules so that drones could 70 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 4: fly at night, and that may be one of the 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 4: reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they 72 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: did before, especially from dawn to dusk. 73 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: And so that is the reality. 74 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: But I want to assure the American public that we 75 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: are on it. We are working in close coordination with 76 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: state and local authorities, and it is critical, as we 77 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 4: all have said for a number of years, that we 78 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: need from Congress additional authorities to address the drone situation. 79 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 4: Our authorities currently are limited and they are set to expire. 80 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: We need them extended and expanded. What exactly do you need? 81 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 4: We want state and local authorities to also have the 82 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 4: ability to counter drone activity under federal supervision. That is 83 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: one important element that we have requested and we've heard 84 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 4: it echoed by the state and local officials themselves. 85 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: Why do you need special authority to shoot down something 86 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: that might be a safety threat? Isn't it assumed that 87 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: law enforcement agencies from local to the federal government, if 88 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: there's something dangerous going on. We can the government can 89 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: already shoot it down. I mean, if that's a foreign 90 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 3: drone carrying some kind of weapon, they can shoot at 91 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: us from the sky or spray us with chemical or 92 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 3: biological weapons. You got to go to Congress to get 93 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 3: permission to shoot the thing down. 94 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: I don't think so. He's full of crap. 95 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: If something's dangerous, you can shoot and bring it down. 96 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: This is why he's such a jackass. Of course, any 97 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 3: law enforcement agency can shoot something if they think is dangerous. 98 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: Of course you can. You can shoot it in an 99 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: oncoming car, an oncoming truck. The military will will take 100 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 3: down a plane. That's why they scramble the planes every 101 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 3: time they think there might be a terrorist a terrorist attack. 102 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: How is he talking about what drones? It's illegal to 103 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: shoot a drone out of the sky. The only reason 104 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: you do it is if it was perceived to be dangerous. 105 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: And he says that they expanded drone flying to the night, 106 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: except he said it was back in the fall of 107 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. This run started November eighteenth of twenty 108 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: twenty four. It's been four solid weeks now, so it 109 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: was a lot of words, but there wasn't much much 110 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: meat to that. Not much information. Let's give you another 111 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: cut here some more diary for how does a guy 112 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: like him get to be Homeland Security, of all things 113 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: homeland security, the guy who let that Chinese balloon flow 114 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 3: across the US for a week. Nobody shot it down. 115 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: I remember them saying, Oh, I don't know if we 116 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: have the authority to shoot it down. Well you did eventually. 117 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: Here's may arcis with Stephanopoulos. 118 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: Are any legitimate national security concerns here? For example, have 119 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 5: you seen any evidence at all, especially in these recent 120 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 5: sightings in the northeast, of any kind of foreign involvement. 121 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 4: We have not seen any foreign and we know of 122 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 4: no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the northeast, 123 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 4: and we are vigilant in investigating this matter, the Department 124 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: of Homeland Security with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 125 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: the lead. 126 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: Lots of words, but there have been concerns in the past. 127 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 5: In fact, that a Chinese national was arrested in California 128 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 5: this week allegedly for flying a drone over Vanderberg Air 129 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 5: Force Base. Last year, you had drone flights over Langley 130 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 5: Air Force Base in Virginia over a nuclear facility in Nevada. 131 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: So what is the national security concern right now? 132 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: Well, when a drone is flown over restricted airspace, we 133 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: act very very swiftly. And in fact, when an individual 134 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: in California flewid drone over restricted airspace, that individual was identified, 135 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 4: apprehended and is being charged by federal authorities. And so 136 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: we act as swiftly as possible when an individual does 137 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 4: fly a drone over restricted airspace and violates the rules. 138 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 4: You know, there are George more than one million drones 139 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 4: registered in the United States. 140 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 6: That's an awful lot. 141 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 5: But bottom line, you're saying Americans have nothing to worry about. 142 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 4: Look, it is our job to be vigilant in the 143 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 4: federal governments, with our state local partners on behalf of 144 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: the American public, and we can assure their safety by 145 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 4: reason of that vigilance. We've deployed personnel technology and if 146 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 4: there is any reason for concern, if we identify any 147 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: foreign involvement or criminal activity, we will communicate with the 148 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 4: American public accordingly. 149 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: Right now, we are not aware of any. 150 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 4: If we become aware of any, we will communicate accordingly 151 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 4: and take appropriate action. 152 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I've played you now almost four minutes of 153 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: this guy's bowel movements, and he's told us nothing. He 154 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: uses a lot of official sounding phrases. They must know 155 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: who's sending up these drones. These drones are up their information. 156 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 3: When officials, local officials have chased them, they turn their 157 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 3: lights off. 158 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: They're flying in a grid. 159 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: Sometimes there's one official in Jersey, a politician. 160 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: He posted a photo of his. 161 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 3: Neighborhood, pointed it at the sky over the nearby homes, 162 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: and you could count at least seven drones all lit 163 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: up at the same time. Nobody's driving flying seven drones 164 00:10:53,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: in suburbia in the evening. I mean, but this is 165 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 3: the kind of response you got for all the other 166 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: crises out of may Orchis. Nobody believes this guy. Nobody 167 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: tried who he's supposed to appeal to Biden. He hasn't 168 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 3: been seen all week either. Kamala Harris, is anybody home? 169 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 3: We come back, We'll give you another government liar. The 170 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby. I can't believe these 171 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: people get paid. He got into a bit of a 172 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: tiff with Martha McCallum from Fox News over the drone 173 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: sidings because he's the one who's telling everybody. Oh no, 174 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: he kept saying down playing it, saying, you know, many 175 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: of these are just regular planes, and a lot of 176 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: this is duplicative reporting. Another new phrase, more't coming up. 177 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 178 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 7: six forty. 179 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: We're at every day from one until four and then 180 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the 181 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: iHeart app. So we are playing clips of the Biden liars, 182 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: all these jackasses in the administration, like Alejandro Majorcis, the 183 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: Homeland Security secretary who lied to us nearly every day 184 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: for four years about the border being secure. Now he's 185 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: in charge of severely downplaying it seems thousands of drones 186 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: that are swarming all over the Northeast and in some 187 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: other areas as well, with a lot of misdirection plays. 188 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: That's It's like, well, you know, in twenty twenty three, 189 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 3: they passed a law that allowed more drone activity at night. 190 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: That's fascinating, but that's not the cause of this. Well, 191 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: you know, all of these are planes, just regular planes. 192 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: People are missing. 193 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably true, but there seems to be an 194 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: abundance of drone out there. Yeah, some of them are misidentified, 195 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: some of them are being reported over and over again. 196 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: But clearly there's something going on that didn't exist a 197 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 3: month ago, and they know who it is, or they 198 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: know what their program is about. Because if you listened 199 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 3: to him carefully, he said, if it's a national security 200 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: risk or foreign involvement, then you know they're gonna let 201 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 3: us know, which means it's not an outside force, it's 202 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: the government. Now, why would the government be doing this, 203 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: This is most likely something we're paying for, and what 204 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 3: possible purpose would this be? As in Jim Garrett in 205 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: The National Review pointed out, you have huge tracts of 206 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: empty land out in the Midwest and the West that 207 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: the government owns, which is normally where they do they're 208 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: testing of new military planes and technology. Why suddenly now 209 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: you're doing it over the most densely populated area of 210 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: the country. New Jersey is the most densely populated state. 211 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: What's called. Chris Christy was on the news over the weekend. 212 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: He said, he's lived in New Jersey all his life. 213 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: He's never seen anything like this. But you know, they 214 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: bring out the may orchest drone and and Stephanopolis didn't 215 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: challenge him sniffling a little weasel. Well, here's Martha McCallum 216 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: from Fox News. She challenged John Kirby, the National Security 217 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: Communications Advisor, because he tried to do the dance last 218 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: week and Martha McCollum was not letting him get away 219 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: with it. 220 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: Why don't we know? 221 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 6: John, That's the point. 222 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 8: Why don't Why doesn't the United States government know? 223 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: This is? 224 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 8: It seems silly. I mean, it feels a lot like 225 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 8: the Chinese spy balloon. It was like, oh, we don't know, 226 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 8: it's not a problem. Then what we watched to go 227 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 8: all the way across the country and we kept hearing, 228 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 8: you know, we're not really sure where it came until 229 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 8: we saw him pop down, popped and you know, floated 230 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 8: down over the ocean. 231 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 9: That's not quite out. When we were very honest with 232 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 9: the American people that we knew it was Chinese, and 233 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 9: we knew that where it was going to go, and 234 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 9: we were pretty comfortable given the analysis that there wasn't 235 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 9: going to be an intelligence threat by it, and we 236 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 9: again we shot it down once it was over safe 237 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 9: waters and wasn't going to hurt anybody. But back to this, 238 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 9: why don't we know? I wish I could tell you 239 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 9: exactly why we don't have an answer for you here 240 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 9: in the afternoon on the thirteenth of December. But I 241 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 9: can tell you that we are working on it very 242 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 9: very hard to know because we want to answer those 243 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 9: questions the same as those folks in New Jersey want 244 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 9: answers to them. 245 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: And Scott, this guy's got a particular stick. It's like, yeah, 246 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: we want to know him. We're working very very hard. 247 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: I heard him say this last week. We're working very 248 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: very hard. And he tries to identify with the citizens. Yes, yes, 249 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: we want to know just as much as you do. 250 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: We're concerned by this just as much as you are. 251 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: He's got a. 252 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: Whole why don't you go to a Spokeshold school to 253 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: learn these? And what's good is it gives you more time. 254 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: You have more things to fill the time with to 255 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: waste the time you add all these extra frame You know, 256 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 3: when you get into a routine like we want to 257 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: know as much as the people do, and we're concerned 258 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: as this and much as the people do.

You see 261 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: what said's done waste fifteen seconds because they know there's 262 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 3: limited time in these newscasts, and so these newscasts are 263 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: not open ended. So the more he babbles with useless phrases. 264 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: That's what may Orcis did too. You know, if you 265 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: get into this line of work for more than five minutes, 266 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 3: you figure out how people waste Politicians and spokesholls and 267 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: corporate people they like to waste time with unnecessary verbiage. 268 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: And most of the idiots in the media, like Stephanoppolis, 269 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 3: don't interrupt. They'd let him get away with it because 270 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: they're afraid of confrontation and they're or they're on the 271 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: side of the administration and they don't want to close 272 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: any unnecessary discomfort playbor of Kurby here, and. 273 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 9: We are working on this very very hard. We are 274 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 9: now applying. There was an interagency conversation this morning about 275 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 9: this topic where we have now decided to employ some 276 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 9: additional technology to New Jersey and some additional personnel to 277 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 9: try to get a better sense of what these things are. 278 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 9: And as I said yesterday, Martha is as soon as we. 279 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: Know, we're going I hear you this. 280 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 8: This is shocking.

Okay, these 283 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 8: people are not crazy. They're seeing these things with their 284 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 8: own eyes. This is not normal behavior. They are not 285 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 8: plans that are coming in one direction and they're heading 286 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 8: into Newark Airport and then they're landing. 287 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 288 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 8: We spend eight hundred and twenty four billion dollars on defense. 289 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 8: We have the greatest intelligent capability in the world. So 290 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 8: how can you stand there and say to the country 291 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 8: right now, gosh darn, we just don't know what these are. 292 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 9: Because I'm not going to lie to you or to 293 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 9: the American people, and I'm not going to say we 294 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 9: know something when we don't. 295 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 3: Uh, and we roop a second. It goes in a 296 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: circle again. Then how do you know it's not a 297 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 3: foreign adversary? And how do you know they're not dangerous? 298 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: They answer two sides of a question almost simultaneously. No, 299 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: don't worry about it, but we don't know. But it's 300 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 3: nothing dangerous, But we don't know.

And then 330 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: he got a little of course he knows something and 331 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 3: he's not telling. 332 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: I got it. 333 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 3: I got a Trump clip to let's say a Trump 334 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: clip when we come back, and then we'll move on 335 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 3: to other stuff because the Trump clips sounds like he 336 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: knows something. But Trump wouldn't be allowed to tell yet 337 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: because he's not president. If there is some kind of 338 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: security restrictions going on, since he's technically still a private citizen, 339 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: he couldn't spill anything. We'll play that and there's other 340 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 3: things to do, and we'll get back to this drone 341 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: situation later in the show. 342 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 343 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 7: six forty. 344 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: Later in the show, we'll do more on the drones 345 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: because there are a number of politicians in New York 346 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 3: and New Jersey yelling at the Biden administration. They're not 347 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 3: believing Alejandro majorcis, Sir John Kirby either. Everybody knows that 348 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: those guys are just a bunch of shills. They're dishonest. 349 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: But I wanted to play a minute of Trump. He 350 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 3: had a news conference today that I think went on 351 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: for about an hour and he covered a whole wide 352 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: range of issues and I just saw a tiny piece 353 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 3: of it. But it was just so weird to see 354 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 3: a president standing up and covering whatever the issues of 355 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 3: the day are and reporters asking questions and he's answering 356 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 3: him in public. They haven't seen this in years, because 357 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: you know, Biden has been laid out in his coffin 358 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: for I mean just almost the entire presidency. He wasn't 359 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 3: capable of doing this. We actually had a president wasn't 360 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: capable of standing upright in public and answering questions from reporters. 361 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: And then Trump goes and does it and there's no 362 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: sweat at all. He may not like his answers, he 363 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 3: might not have answered everything all the way through, but 364 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: he's up there taking it. It's amazing what we put 365 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 3: up with. And then they sold us that Biden was okay. 366 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 3: Remember how many times did the Karine Jean Pierre when 367 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 3: she was said, well, how come Biden doesn't meet with 368 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: the press, Well, you know, actually he's had thirty two 369 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 3: down interviews over the last four He isn't talking to 370 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 3: the press at all, only in high in highly controlled 371 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: situations where they could edit the coverage like they were 372 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 3: editing Kamala's answers. Remember in sixty minutes edited Kamala's answers. 373 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 3: That's what they would agree to. They'd sit down for 374 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: a few minutes as long as they got to control 375 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: the shots on how the interview was recorded and portrayed. 376 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: So anyway, Trump is asked about the drone sightings because 377 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 3: they've been seen over his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, 378 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 3: where he sometimes stays. Play this clip. 379 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: Can you call them in all the. 380 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 7: Drones that are flyers at news reports? 381 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: And it seems like that there people have a big 382 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: disc the government. 383 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 10: The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows 384 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 10: where they took off from. If it's a garage, they 385 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 10: can go right into that garage. They know where it 386 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 10: came from and where it went. And for some reason 387 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 10: they don't want to comment, And I think they'd be 388 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 10: better of saying what it is. Our military knows, and 389 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 10: our president knows, and for some reason they want to 390 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 10: keep people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy, 391 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 10: because it was the enemy that'd blasted out. Even if 392 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 10: they were late, they'd blasted something strange is going on. 393 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 10: For some reason, they don't want to tell the people, 394 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 10: and they should because the people are really I mean, 395 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 10: they happen to be over Bedminster. We know they're they're 396 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 10: very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won't spend 397 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 10: the weekend in bed Minster. I decided to cancel my trips. 398 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 6: Have you received an intelligence briefing on the drones? 399 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to comment on that. 400 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, he ask, So he knows, and that's why he 401 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: was able to say, our government knows, our military knows. 402 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: They know what's going on. Maybe they're behind it. Maybe 403 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: it's defense contractors. 404 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 9: Uh. 405 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 3: It's why they're able to say, no, it's not a 406 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 3: foreign adversary. But what what's what's the big deal of 407 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 3: keeping it now? It may be classified information, and since 408 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 3: he's not the president yet, he can't release that classified information. Biden, 409 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 3: of course, may not know what's going on, and Kamala 410 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 3: might be too deep into her chardonnay to be aware 411 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 3: of what's going on. 412 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 413 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: I don't know who's left in the chain of command, 414 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 3: who's next in line. I'll do more later in the 415 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 3: show Luigi Mangione, who shot the United Healthcare executive. He's 416 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 3: now got a real lawyer. He's going to be flying 417 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: in from Pennsylvania soon. He's not going to wait thirty 418 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 3: days before extradition happens. He hired a woman named Karen 419 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 3: friedmanen Agnifilo, who used to lead the sex crimes unit 420 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: in the Manhattan District Attorney's office. She's a real prosecutor, 421 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: and now she's cashed in. That's where a lot of 422 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: prosecutors go when they want to make some money, because 423 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 3: you don't. You don't make that much as a prosecutor. 424 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 3: And they say, she has as much experience as anyone, 425 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: especially in state court. You knows all the judges, and 426 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 3: that she's she's going to be leading his defense. 427 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: Now he doesn't have a defense. 428 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 3: All they can hope for, I think, is jury nullification, 429 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 3: because there seems to be so many people happy that 430 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: a CEO got murdered that you want to get some 431 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 3: of those people on the jury. And you know now 432 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: that she's a defense attorney. She's got no problem with 433 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: that because you know she sold out and there are 434 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: no morals, there's no conscience once you become a defense attorney. 435 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 3: Like by definition, you can't have a conscience anymore. You 436 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 3: know what's really fascinating, though, she is married to Ditty's attorney. Seriously, 437 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 3: so her name, her name is, she's got one of 438 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 3: these hyphenated names, Karen Friedman Agnifilo. 439 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: Well, the husband. 440 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 3: Is, uh, let me get the husband's at Mark Agnifolo, 441 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 3: And he's been representing Ditty in these in these sex charges. 442 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 3: Now Ditty is another one who has no defense because 443 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: it looks like he has many many witnesses. God knows 444 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 3: how many videos and photos were taken. But Agniffolo is 445 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: gonna make a lot of money too, right, you could 446 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: you shake down you shake down Ditty's Well, he's got 447 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: a fortune, right, I mean, God knows how many tens 448 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 3: of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars did he has, 449 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 3: so you drain that fortune. And then Luigi Manjon comes 450 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 3: from a wealthy family in Baltimore. So the husband and 451 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 3: wife have got it made. Now they are representing two horrible, disgusting, 452 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 3: heinous men. One's a murder the other is a compulsive 453 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 3: if you believe the charges rapist and sexual abuse her. 454 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 3: But they both have wealth to draw from and so 455 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 3: the Agnifilos are going to make out really good. They'll 456 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: both be retired, probably within a couple of years. The 457 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: wife here spent seven years as the number two in 458 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The district attorney at the 459 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 3: time was Cyrus Vance, not this idiot Alvin Bragg, and 460 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 3: at times they were on opposing sides. Friedman Agnifilo had 461 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 3: to recuse herself from several cases in which her husband 462 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 3: was representing suspects. Oh you know who else, Mark Magnifilo 463 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: represented Harvey Weinstein. These people are disgusting. Wife's disgusting now too. 464 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 3: She was on the good side of the good guys there. 465 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: Let me see what I what else? 466 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know they these. 467 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 3: People are I think the term is a moral It 468 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: just depends who's who's writing their check. If you you 469 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 3: write the check, they they you can buy one of 470 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: their arguments. I got plenty of arguments. I can't believe. Well, 471 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: Dinny has nothing unless unless they put rap fans on 472 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: the jury, He's got absolutely nothing. And man geone, you 473 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: get some of these embittered socialists on the jury, you 474 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: might have something there. This might be like like when 475 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: the o J Jury nullified the case. I mean that 476 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: that that is, that is the last weapon you have 477 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: is do some kind of jury manipulation, jury analysis to 478 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: get people who who will ignore the facts of the 479 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: case because there's some there's some greater issue at stake. 480 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from. 481 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 3: KFI SI after two o'clock writer and commentator Richie Greenberg 482 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 3: from San Francisco. He's become kind of our correspondent up 483 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: in San Francisco to tell us, well, he chronicled really 484 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: the whole destruction of the city over the last few years. 485 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 3: And now the woman who oversaw that destruction, the mayor 486 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: of San Francisco, London Breed. She's getting out of town. 487 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 3: She lost the election to Daniel Lourie. Lourie is an 488 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 3: executive and he's the heir of the Levi Strauss fortune, 489 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: and he's taking over and going to try to rebuild 490 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 3: San Francisco. After Breed and the rest of those progressives 491 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: road in the city, I mean, they wrecked it. 492 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: She is leaving. 493 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: And what she said on her way out was after 494 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 3: losing the election, no matter what the results said, I'm 495 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 3: still a winner. I'm still a winner, destroys the city, 496 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: loses the election. But this is the age we're in. 497 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 3: Just declare yourself the victor, and right off. That's what 498 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: all those Biden fools are going to do. You know, 499 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 3: people like Mayorcis and John Kirby, they're going to declare 500 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: themselves winners. They'll have a what they got about a 501 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 3: month's worth of lies left to tell, and then they're 502 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: gonna leave his champions. One of our favorite topics is, well, 503 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: this headline got me in the Wall Street Journal. Meet 504 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 3: the people who refuse to go back to the office 505 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: and lost their jobs. Finally, now companies are getting rid 506 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: of the deadbeats who don't want to show up at work. 507 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: Amazon is requiring employees to report five days a week. 508 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 6: Five days. Yeah, that's not fair. 509 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: That would be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. No Fridays, Fridays, 510 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: Oh no ups. JP Morgan Boeing have also called their 511 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 3: workers back for five days. 512 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 2: You know that's really cool. That's that violates the Eighth Amendments. 513 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 6: That is cruel and unusual punishment. 514 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: Some people were not showing up for work and they 515 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 3: got fired. Publicist Media terminated several dozen employees who wouldn't 516 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: show up for the required days. Other companies, Roadblocks and Grinder, 517 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 3: have offered several packages to employees who won't show up. 518 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 3: Snap the technology, the social media company laid off workers 519 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: now listen. Listen to a couple of the people who 520 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 3: found themselves fired. Stephanie Pittman lost her remote job. She 521 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 3: worked at her home in Wichita, Kansas. The company was 522 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 3: based in California, and now she's upset because they wanted 523 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: to show up for work in California. 524 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 11: Well, I could understand if she was told that she 525 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 11: could remote in permanently because she moved away, or that 526 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 11: I can that I can understand. 527 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: You kind of have to know that day is coming though. 528 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 529 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 11: But but if you're if you were told that you 530 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 11: didn't have to come to work ever and you move away, 531 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 11: it is kind of unfair to say, oh, we've changed 532 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 11: her mind and you live what two thousand miles away? 533 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: You know what our parents taught us. I'm just life 534 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 2: is not fair. 535 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 11: It isn't It really isn't fair, you know, But I couldnot. 536 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 11: What I'm saying is I can understand in. 537 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 3: That Well, she had quit a job because the company 538 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 3: was forcing her to work in person, and so she 539 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 3: took this job in California, and in Wichita. She has 540 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 3: four kids, a husband who's a judge, and elderly parents 541 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 3: who live nearby, so she can't leave Wichita. But a 542 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 3: job in California isn't gonna last forever. Here's another guy, 543 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 3: Nathan Vance. He was hired in April as a remote employee. 544 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: And this is a San Francisco company, Grinder that's a 545 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 3: I think a gay dating app. And he bought a 546 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 3: house in Washington State, eight hundred miles away from Grinder's 547 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 3: nearest office. And he thought he could work from home permanently. 548 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 3: Why give up a property he owns mortgage rate three 549 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 3: percent to pay the high rents in the Bay Area. Well, 550 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,959 Speaker 3: they told him to come in and he doesn't want 551 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: to make the eight hundred mile commute, so they gave 552 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 3: him three months severance unemployment for six months. Now he's 553 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: spending his savings and retirement accounts, and the guy's fifty. 554 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 2: You should be. 555 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 3: Spending your retirement account when you're fifty. In the end, 556 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 3: he didn't, he didn't win the game. He thought he 557 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 3: was going to save on San Francisco rents, and now 558 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: he might have to relocate. After all, I'm applying for 559 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 3: jobs anywhere and everywhere. I'm at the point where I 560 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 3: really don't know what's going to happen. This guy committed 561 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 3: self bankruptcy because he didn't want to go into an 562 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 3: office or he didn't want to go move to the 563 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 3: town where the company was. 564 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 11: There are still a lot of companies that say you 565 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 11: can work from home two days a week and come 566 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 11: into the office three days a week. 567 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but with him, he's eight hundred miles away. 568 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 6: Well, I know he didn't screw he screwed. I'm not 569 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 6: talking about I. 570 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 3: Just you can never trust that companies are going to 571 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 3: continue the policy. 572 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 2: A policy like that, that's true. 573 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 6: So you have to be prepared to find another job then. 574 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 3: Because but according to one consultant named Dan Caplan, who 575 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 3: studies this issue behind closed doors, there's a view among 576 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: CEOs quote, I'm tired of this whining about coming back 577 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 3: to work. We've compromised enough, and if you're not meeting 578 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 3: the minimum, then we're going to move on without you. 579 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 3: Because some of the companies asked for three days and 580 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: the employee still said no, And so everybody said, well 581 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 3: the hell with you? Because it. There are jobs where 582 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 3: you can work from home. Within the structure of a company. 583 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 3: Really depends on your job, but there are a lot 584 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 3: of jobs. I mean, you know, I could see this 585 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: in my own eyes. When people don't see each other 586 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 3: every day, then the company loses something because there's a 587 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 3: lot there's a lot of good stuff that goes on 588 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 3: when people can see each other and talk spontaneously and 589 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 3: randomly to each other all day. 590 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 6: John, do you want me to work from home? 591 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 2: No? I need the company. You're it? 592 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 6: Can you imagine? 593 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 2: This is it? I'm talking to myself. I'm close to 594 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 2: talking to myself. When we come back. 595 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 3: Richie Greenberg from San Francisco, and he's going to tell 596 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 3: us about the final days of London Breed. The mayor 597 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 3: is leaving town after presiding over the complete destruction of 598 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 3: the city, which she, of course is blaming on outside forces. 599 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 3: But I've been up to San Francisco numerous times under 600 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 3: her reign, and the place really went to hell. It 601 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: is really really an American tragedy what London Breed and 602 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 3: the rest of those progressives did to the city. I mean, 603 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 3: if you want to destroy a place, hire a bunch 604 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 3: of progressives to govern it for a few years, and 605 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 3: it'll be left in ruins.
