1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Hey, there're folks. It is Wednesday, October twenty ninth, and 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: week just a short time ago saw a huge press 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: conference French officials lined up congratulating each other over the 4 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: Louver heist. Arrests have been made and the big question 5 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: everybody has is what Robes, where are the jewels? And 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: and Robes. If they're coming out congratulating each other and 8 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: telling us about the arrests and giving us details, surely 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: you wouldn't come out and say congratulations without telling us 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: where the jewels are. 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 2: Well, these are, or at least they are surrounding the 12 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: same folks who told us that there were no security 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: failures at the Louver. So just take that all into perspective. 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: But yes, you came running back from the front room 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 2: because you saw that this press conference. Oh god, and 16 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: you said, Robes, oh my god, we're gonna get all 17 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: of these amazing details from this press conference. I can't 18 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: wait to hear it. You turned the volume up, yep, 19 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: And honestly, at one point we started laughing. That's actually 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: an honest response to what we were watching and what 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: more importantly we were hearing or not hearing congratulations, naming 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: off all these folks. Congratulations. Okay, So waiting for the headline, 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: waiting for the headline, waiting for the headline never came. 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: And look, we robes here in this country, and certainly 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: us covering news for a long time, are used to 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: these press conferences where oftentimes we're like, just give us 27 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: the information. But instead they have to stand there. They 28 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: have to introduce this person from this county agency, so 29 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: and so on, here from the sheriff's office, someone here 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: representing the governor's office, that all these things introductions. Yes, 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: she did a bunch of introductions at the top, well, 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: long line of people sitting there, a bunch She's coming. 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: She named people, she named the number of people have 34 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: been working. She went on. 35 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: It was like a long drum roll, wait for it 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: got to be it, and the it, I suppose what 37 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: would you say that it was? 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: What was the highlight? 39 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: The highlight? 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: The headline? 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: The headline was that they still don't have two of 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: the four thieves. They aren't naming the two thieves that 43 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: they have, They don't know where the jewels are. And 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: they were trying to appeal to the common sense of 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: the thieves to just go ahead give the jewelry. 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Back, okay, And you actually got more headlines out of 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: it than I was able to come up with. But yes, folks, 48 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: we did, and I it's a true story. I was 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: thinking this was going to be the big breaking news, 50 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: because you would not put on a show like they 51 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: were putting on if you didn't have more to say. 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: But what they essentially did, Robes was confirm what was 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: already leaked and reported by other outlets. So what they 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: did do, though, they did confirm two arrests, two men 55 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: in their thirties. One was at Charles de Gaulle last Saturday, 56 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: trying to fly out of the country. He had a 57 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: one way ticket going to Algeria. Another guy they arrested 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: in his neighborhood. They said he had no plans, no travel, 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and he was actually caught at the home and in 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: the neighborhood where he grew up. So those were some 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: of the new details that they gave us. One of 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the men been living in France in twenty ten. Another one, 63 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: and this got attention and you thought, wait a minute, 64 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: what's going on because they reported that he was working 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: as an illegal taxi driver there for some time in France, 66 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: and when you first read it somewhere else, it just 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: said taxi drivering like, wait a minute, don't you have 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: to get clearances? This guy has a criminal history? 69 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah? I was like, how could a taxi driver have 70 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: actually a violent criminal history? So I was concerned about that. 71 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: But these were known dudes, I guess within the criminal system. 72 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: But it's pretty fascinating. They did explain how they were 73 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: able to find these men. They actually recovered DNA from 74 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: a scooter used in the heist and a window at 75 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: the loop, like trace amounts of DNA. They said, in 76 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: because these guys had committed crimes before their DNA was 77 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: in the system, and they knew who to go after. 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: They knew who to go and try and hunt down 79 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: and arrest. 80 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: And they say they are still hunting down too now. 81 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: They say they have been able to confirm through their 82 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: video surveillance they believe only four people were involved. They 83 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: also say that they have no indication that anybody inside 84 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: the museum was involved, so this was not an inside job. 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: They do not believe. I thought it was interesting robe 86 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: she's appealing. It was kind of an appeal to anybody 87 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: who might be holding on to these for safe keeping, 88 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: who might be interested in selling these with their or 89 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: excuse me, buying them for their private collection, or buying 90 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: the stones have already been chopped up. She tried to, 91 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: I guess, appeal to your common sense, not necessarily your humanity, 92 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: but essentially saying, what's the point, folks, You can't do 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: anything with it. 94 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: Yes, she said, the jewels are now, of course unsellable, 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: so anyone who buys them would be guilty of concealment 96 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: of stolen goods. So then she said, there's still time 97 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: to give them back. So I don't know how effective 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: that plea is going to be, but that was what 99 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: they at least tried to take. This opportunity with the 100 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: cameras rolling. Can you do that appeal to the criminals. 101 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: It's like a newborn, You leave it at the fire station, 102 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: no questions asked. Can you really walk back in here 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: and say, hey, here are you jewels? All good? 104 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: I doubt it. I doubt that very much so, but yes, 105 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: they're saying that these jewels, anyone who is an actual 106 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: jeweler or anyone who knows what they're buying would recognize 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: that this is not these are you know, these are 108 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: diamonds from what the what is that the fifteenth century? 109 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: I don't even know how far back they go, but 110 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,559 Speaker 2: certainly they probably got something that sets them apart from 111 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: all others. 112 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: I wasn't helping you out on the date because I 113 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: didn't know it. Yeah, I wasn't trying to leave you hanging. 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, so that was her plea to and the 115 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: folks who still have them, these two other men who 116 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: they are looking for. We also found out that they 117 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: stole this cherry picker. 118 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, apparently it was a I've never heard of 119 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: a cherry picker jacking, but it was apparently what happened. 120 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: They jacked somebody from this thing a few days before 121 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: the actual robbery. So those were new details we got. 122 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: And also they made the point again the guys did 123 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: bring in disc cutters to rob the place, and she said, 124 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: even though these things can look intimidating, we have no 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: indication that they ever used them in a threatening way. 126 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: Yep, all right. And then they also did acknowledge because earlier, 127 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: as I joked on the top of this episode, that 128 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: French authorities almost immediately were oddly quick to defend the 129 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: security that the system did not break down, the system 130 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 2: worked as it should, which was such a strange thing 131 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: to say when four men, unarmed were able to steal 132 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: more than one hundred million dollars worth of really truly 133 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: priceless jewels in eight minutes and get away, So that 134 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: was kind of a strange statement. Well, in the press 135 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: conference today we heard them acknowledge that the Lover's authorization 136 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: to operate its own security cameras expired in July and 137 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: wasn't renewed. There was some sort of paperwork lapse, and 138 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: so they weren't able to operate their own security cameras 139 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: at the Louver, probably the most renowned museum in the world. Yes, fact, 140 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: that is insane to think about. 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Where are these two guys like and where is this stuff? Look, 142 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: that is the question, right, they're congratulating each other and 143 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: this was the day, So the question is where are 144 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: those jewels now? Bro She gave some She tried to 145 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: tap dance a little bit and said I don't want 146 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: to say too much, and she made clear or clear 147 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: indications that she believed she could say something that could 148 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: spook the other guys or in some way compromise their investigation. Obviously, 149 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: those guys know how hot they are right now? Are 150 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: they going to be able to get out of the country? 151 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: Where are those jewels? I'm fascinated somebody just walking around 152 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: with a duffel bag with the stuff in it. 153 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: And I'm curious if they know who they're looking for. 154 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: How much of these other two men actually given them 155 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: in terms of information? Do they have more DNA tying 156 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: the other two men to this crime, because weren't the 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: reports that only two of them went up on the 158 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: cherry picker and went through the windows, So that's where 159 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: the other two stayed below. So who knows if their 160 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: DNA is on anything, and if they even know who 161 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: they're looking for it didn't. It is strange. So in 162 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: the middle of all of these congratulations, they also admitted 163 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: that while the police officers arrived extremely fast after the theft, 164 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: they said that there was a lag in response earlier 165 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: in the chain as the events unfolded, so from the 166 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: first detection to the museum security, to the emergency line 167 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: to then police. So they're admitting now that they messed 168 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: up or at least lost some very crucial moments in 169 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: the early part of this heist. So again, it just 170 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: was such a bizarre press conference to hear them all, 171 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: or at least hear the lead spokeswoman pat everyone on 172 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: the back, and then go through all of the failures 173 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: that happened, and again the headline, we still don't know 174 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: where the jewels are. 175 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: Don't want to take away from the fact, you know 176 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: they're working around the clock. Of course, you know there 177 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of good people over there, good investigators, 178 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: who are working their butt off to get this done. 179 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: So can't take that away. It just we are not 180 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: used to. Maybe they do it differently quite frankly over there, 181 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: but a congratulations mid investigation, and especially when it's I 182 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: guess the I guess. Do you think France would be 183 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: okay to get the jewels back and never catch the thieves? 184 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 4: Right? 185 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 2: Hard to say, I mean, the French do things very differently. 186 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: But I want to it is for you as a 187 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: countryman of the United States. I don't know what our 188 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: crown jewels are, but if you right, how would the 189 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: French feel about that? Just give us our jewels back 190 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: and I really don't care if that's the trade off. 191 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: They get away with it and we get our jewels. 192 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: Fine, Yeah, I'm sure if they could find a way 193 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: they would because here's the problem. We talked about how 194 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: much money is missing in terms of the value of 195 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: these very priceless, obviously historic theirs, historic value and emotional 196 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: value to these items as well, but one hundred and 197 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: two million, one hundred and two million dollars. And with 198 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: this heist, there was another massive blind spot or issue 199 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: that perhaps they weren't really focused on that now they 200 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: are very aware. 201 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: Of and. 202 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: Continuing now our conversation on this massive Louver heist, we 203 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 2: had a big, seemingly impressive, important press conference this afternoon 204 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: talking about what officials have been able to accomplish in 205 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: these ten days since the jewels were stolen, and certainly 206 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: an update on the jewels themselves. Well, it turns out 207 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: there are two men behind bars and actually this was 208 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 2: interesting right now with what they're being charged with, this 209 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: is shocking given the weight of the story, the value 210 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: of what was stolen, the fact that they still don't 211 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 2: have these jewels back, and the fact that the world 212 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: is watching. How much time behind bars are these men 213 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: facing if convicted? Oh, they say years, what up to 214 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: fifteen years? 215 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: Up to fifteen years? I mean, maybe it doesn't matter 216 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: if they stole something that was worth five thousand dollars 217 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: or if it worth one hundred and two million. I 218 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: wonder if it's categorized all the same. It doesn't matter. 219 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: The value goes up and your prison sentence goes up. 220 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: I don't know. 221 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: But these guys didn't use a weapon, and the commissioning 222 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: of this crime, nobody was threatened, nobody was harmed. They 223 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: broke a window and they broke a little glass, got 224 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: some valuable stuff. 225 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they Yeah, they stole one hundred and two 226 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: million dollars worth of historic, priceless Crown jewels. I mean, 227 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: it is insane. I was thinking because they weren't armed 228 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 2: that maybe that's why. But certainly you would think the 229 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: value of what they stole and the fact that it 230 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: hasn't been recovered would play into what their potential punishment is. 231 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: But yes, they are telling us they're each facing up 232 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 2: to fifteen years behind bars. That was shocking. Another shocking 233 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: development in all of this, the Louver based had to 234 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 2: admit that, whoopsie, the jewels were not insured, and that 235 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: is shocking to a lot of people, I. 236 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 4: Guess, but you shouldn't have to ensure the most important 237 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: things in your collection. These are the French crown rules 238 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 4: we don't need private insurance to ensure them, because that's 239 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 4: essentially us saying we don't trust ourselves to protect these 240 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: precious items, right, that's on you, France. 241 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: So that's what the French state says it self ensures 242 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: its national museums because can you imagine they say the 243 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: premiums for covering priceless heritage are astronomically high, so it's 244 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 2: not worth it to them. However, could they have ever 245 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: anticipated this. You would obviously say it might have been 246 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: worth it to pay. 247 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: Well, we say that now, but still I would never 248 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: It's like it's like Donald Trump needing private insurance for 249 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: something he keeps in the White House. It's protected, it's 250 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: not gonna go missing. I wouldn't think to ensure things 251 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: that are in a fortified spot like that. 252 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: That does make sense. 253 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: It's just that friends didn't fortify. They forgot to dress 254 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: up that window a little bit apparently. 255 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: But it is interesting to see how the French handle things. 256 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: The fact that their security cameras, eh, didn't bother to 257 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: keep those operating. Yeah, you know, we just didn't want 258 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: to ensure anything. And it's the premiums. Have you seen 259 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: what those are like these days, and then the congratulatory 260 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: tone that we did nothing wrong. And another interesting point, 261 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 2: the Louve's director tried to hand in her resignation saying, look, 262 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: this happened on my watch. I'm out. They refused the resignation, 263 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: and so so there have been no punishments or no 264 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: one has suffered any sort of consequence for the lapses 265 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: that clearly were there, and certainly there were some people 266 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: who let things slip through the cracks. However, so far 267 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: no one seems to be pointing the finger at anybody. 268 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: Maybe we could all take a lesson from the French 269 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: here in this country, where that's all we seem to 270 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: know how to do is point the finger at other 271 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: people before we even try to find the jewels. We'd 272 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: be saying, who needed to pay the price for letting 273 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: it happen in the first place. 274 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: These things happen, right, These things happen all right, folks. Well, 275 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: we will keep an eye on this one. But apparently 276 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: those jewels are still out there. Keep an eye out 277 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: for them. Also, two dudes, no descriptions, no nothing they've 278 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: given us where they're looking, who they might be looking for. 279 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: But it's two more dudes running around out there somewhere 280 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: bleaned up. 281 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: It's a French mystery. 282 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: Yes, folks, we'll follow it from the States, but I 283 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: always appreciate you listening to us. Signed DJ Holmes alongside 284 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: my partner Amy Robot. We'll talk to y'all soon.
