Speaker 3: there at the emergency room.

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, and I'm happy. I guess no videos.

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: I assumed I would see her falling down the stairs

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 3: with the broken hip put to music, because there had

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: to be this video on everything in the modern world.

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen anybod eos. I don't want to

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: see an old lady falled.

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: Out, old ladies being injured as a well spring for mirth. Yeah,

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: I disagree, Yeah, that would happen.

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: I rejected.

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco, where there was a tornado

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: warning over the weekend for the first time ever because

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: there was a tornado south of San Francisco. Somebody texted,

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: would be a poop Nato, taking from the theme of

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: the fabulous movie series Shark Nato, where the tornadoes pick

27
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: up the sharks out of the ocean and you got

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: sharks flying through the air.

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: That would happen with the streets. Let us go up

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: poop Nato. Wow.

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: Wow, Well clean off the streets anyway. Combine that with

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: some nice rain that would be very, very effective. But

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: thankfully or regretfully, the tornado states south anyway.

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: I hope everybody's okay.

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: So perhaps you saw the headline over the weekend that

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: ABC News and George Stephanopolis have settled and agreed to

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: contribute fifteen million dollars to Donald Trump's presidential foundation or

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: museum to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Trump against

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: the network and its star.

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: He had.

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: It's funny. I'm looking at a couple of different accounts.

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: The Wall Street Journal soft pedaling it a little bit.

43
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: Stephanoppolos said on Earl Take two on air earlier this

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: year that the president elect had been found civilly liable

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: for raping writer E. Gene Carroll, and a federal jury,

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: while it determined Trump was liable for sexual abuse, specifically

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: rejected the rape allegation.

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: Not even sexual assault, sexual abuse is what they went with.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's it's a civil suit, so it goes

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 4: by different names than criminal stuff. But yeah, and Stephanopolis,

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: according to I think it was. Fox News said it

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: ten times during an interview with Nancy mace Im that

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: either way was beat down by a transgender activist the

54
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: other day got no attention on the dying lie media.

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: She's walking around in a sling because she was physically

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: attacked by a transactivist.

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if a sitting.

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: Democrat in our federal government were attacked by some mega person.

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: What a story that would be.

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: The Capitol would be shut down it via some sort

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 4: of national day of mourning. The President would have given

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: a rambling, incoherent speech. Yeah, it's just unbelievable. Excuse me,

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: sip of coffee. I'm a bit of an addict, you.

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: See, I'm doing the captag in today. I'm so tired. Wow,

65
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: kicking Syrian style.

66
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: Huh that meth substitute that's captured the hearts of Middle Easterners.

67
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Let's see.

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: Along with the contribution, ABC will pay a million dollars

69
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: in legal field fees for Trump's lawyer, and Disney owned

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: ABC News posted a note on its website Saturday that said,

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: quote ABC News and George Stephanopolis regret statements regarding President

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump made during the interview aired March tenth

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: on This week, was Stephanopolis misinformed?

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Or what I mean? Because he's a smart guy.

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: He knows you can't go around and call people rapists

76
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: who aren't convicted rapists?

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right. People are claiming some people are claiming that, look,

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 4: you know, sexual abuse, including perhaps penetration, fits what a

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: lot of people would consider rape. But evidently ABC News

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: and their lawyers either thought, now, we're not gonna win

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: this or it would be so enormously expensive, both literally

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: and in terms of alienating even Trump sympathetic viewers. They thought,

83
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 4: let's put this behind us. But you've got to feel really,

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: really vulnerable to say, yeah, we'll pay sixteen million dollars.

85
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 4: I would think so. Plus the embarrassment. Are they capable

86
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: of embarrassment? In your opinion?

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: I gotta believe that that when they see themselves such

89
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: a leading edge the resistance against the evil Trump. To

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: have to cut him a big check and apologize has

91
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: got to be really something they hated to do. For

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: what it's worth, a CNN is in a different courtroom

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: and they've been losing critical motions in a defamation case.

94
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: Anchored Jake Tapper and CNN are being sued by Navy

95
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: veteran Zachary Young after falsely suggesting that he and his

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: organization were exploiting desperate Afghan refugees. They discovery uncovered malicious

97
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: and unprofessional emails from producers promising to nail Young and

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: make this segment his funeral. It'll be interesting to see

99
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: where that goes. CNN with the opposite of deep pockets.

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: By the way, as long as we're talking about this,

101
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: this is stunning.

102
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: Viewers have flocked to Fox News in the wake of

103
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's election last month, while ratings for MSNBC and

104
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: CNN have tumbled. MSNBC averaged six hundred and three thousand

105
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 4: primetime viewers WOW from the day after the election through

106
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: December eighth, down by more than half.

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: WOW, so even their full ritings were only two million nationwide.

108
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: Cable news channels have outsized influence on the rest of

109
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: the media. I don't think they have much influence on

110
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: human beings.

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: Well, CNN dropped a little less, down just forty six percent,

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: but they started with less. They dropped down to four

113
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: thousand and one I'm sorry, four hundred and one thousand

114
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: viewers average prime time viewers.

115
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Now, there are ten podcasts you haven't heard of that

116
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: are a bigger deal than any of those shows on

117
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: CNN or MSNBC.

118
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, listening to this would Fox News was up twelve percent, up,

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: averaging two point seven million viewers. In other words, five

120
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: and a half times well six twenty four carry the

121
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 4: Streek six and a half times as much as CNN

122
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 4: six and a half and about four and a half

123
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: times word an MSNBC.

124
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: Somebody tweeted out the most important thing you learned by

125
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: going to public school. I want to share that with

126
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: you when we come back, because I thought it was interesting.

127
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: But before we take a break, what do you think

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: of Trump's tweet over the weekend that he's going to

129
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: do away with changing the clocks. Does he have the

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: power to do that with an executive order or something

131
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: like that? But I could see him finally breaking through

132
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: that whatever that is that keeps us from doing that.

133
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the second part I agree with. Yeah. I

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: think he Congress would have to do it.

135
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 4: And I'm sure that if Trump came out in favor

136
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: of ending daylight saving time, that the anti Trump fanatics,

137
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: the Trump derangement syndrome crowd, would suddenly profess their never

138
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: ending love of Sunday evening way everything goes in this

139
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: silly country.

140
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think we said this last week. Why

141
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: don't we try it? And if we all.

142
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: Decide, oh, this does suck, it's too dark in the

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: morning or.

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Something, well, then we'll go back.

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: The lack of willingness to try something once it's not

146
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: gonna constanty harm.

147
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I just don't get.

148
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: It's a weird like subcategory of decadence or you know,

149
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: symptom of decadence in this country.

150
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: We are so not.

151
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: The the strapping young man of a country that's off

152
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: on an adventure and is willing to take on risks

153
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: and defend itself with its fists, just kind of that

154
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: up and coming country.

155
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: We're now such the fat, lazy conservative country that you know,

156
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: somebody with her it's the tax code or this the

157
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: idea of let's try it for two years and see

158
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: how we like it.

159
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Well, we better not. I don't know. It might not

160
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: go great.

161
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: God, we become the opposite of what made us great.

162
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: Maybe it's inevitable. I don't know the life cycle of empires.

163
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: I've been reading about it lately. You can tweak it,

164
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: but maybe there's just no changing it.

165
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: So I got this thing about public school I came

166
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: across on Twitter I thought was interesting. Also, this comment

167
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: I found intriguing. Katie will have to weigh in on

168
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: whether it's just misogynistic or rings true or not only

169
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: a female point of view.

170
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: Among other things. On the way stay with us, experts.

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: Are saying that parents of teenagers should teach them porn literacy,

172
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: particularly stepmothers. Any idea what porn literacy is, I could guess,

173
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: better do so.

174
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 4: Understand putting it in prospective understanding it's not real.

175
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I've done that, so I would guess that

176
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: makes sense. So a quick thing on only fans speaking

177
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: of porn, and I've got a bigger thing on only

178
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: fans later in the culture. Worst thing that I can't

179
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: wait to talk about. I've become so much more culturally

180
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: conservative as I got older. As I get older, which

181
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 3: is common thing people do. But anyway, this tweet, see

182
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: if this makes sense to you, Katie, since you know

183
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: somebody who's successful and only fans OnlyFans era has This

184
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: is from a dude. OnlyFans Era has absolutely obliterated the

185
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: hot waitress restaurant and Gimmick just went to a Twin

186
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: Peaks that's a like sports bar sort of restaurant, and

187
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: I swear to god, it was like they pulled the

188
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: chicks straight from behind the desks of the DMV and

189
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: shoved them into skippy outfits.

190
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Horrifying. Now, obviously that.

191
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: Is a certain kind of guy, but is there so

192
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: used to be if you're a hot young woman, you

193
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: could go work in a supports bar, you know, certain

194
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: kind of places and probably make really good tips.

195
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: Has only fans done away with that?

196
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: It's like, why would I ever work at a restaurant

197
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: for this wage and hope for tips when I can

198
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: go on only Fanny any guests on that?

199
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: Uh I I can see where he's going with that,

200
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 6: but I think that's quite the stretch.

201
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think I would put it like this.

202
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: You have a young woman who is physically attractive, aware

203
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: of it, and thinks, hmm, I can use this to

204
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 4: better myself economically. And it used to be the Hooters,

205
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: the Twin Peaks or whatever, the sports bar was the

206
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: most effective way to do that short of becoming a.

207
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: Stripper, which is in into a different area of Yeah,

208
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: you're a different person, you go that work.

209
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: Right, It's it's I understand that being an only fans model,

210
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 4: particularly if you bear all, is very much like being

211
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: a stripper, except you're in a very very safe environment

212
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: controlled by yourself. So yeah, it's it's a better alternative

213
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: to exploit that economic opportunity.

214
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that.

215
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 6: I think only fans holds that label though. I mean,

216
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 6: no matter what you're doing on it, whether it's full

217
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: full nudity or not, you're still on only fans And

218
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 6: that holds kind of like a I guess there's a

219
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: stigma with it, I would think.

220
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: Or someone else probably an appropriate time to mention, yeah,

221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: we're aware of that. The British only fans woman who

222
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: had sex with one hundred guys in a day. Yeah,

223
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: that's going to fit into the culture war thing. We

224
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: well look forward to chatting about that.

225
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, just wondered if anybody had any thoughts on that. So,

226
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: since we're gonna go big on that sort of thing later,

227
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 3: let me skip to this, which I came across I

228
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: thought was really interesting. Just another random tweet from somebody.

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: Maybe the most important thing you learn by attending public

230
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: school is that we are all at the mercy of

231
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: the bottom quin tile. The rules you follow in life

232
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile.

233
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: The taxes you pay are to support the bottom quin tile.

234
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: The greatest risks to your life and property will come

235
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: from the bottom quintile. The death of comfortable public spaces

236
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: is because you have to allow the bottom quintile to

237
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: be there. Our zoning laws are developed for fear of

238
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: the bottom quintile. Probably the best best to learn this

239
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: and accept it early in life.

240
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: Wow, that is a bitter and perceptive thing to point out.

241
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

242
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have either kid in public school at

243
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 3: this point, but I understand what they what they're driving

244
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: at there the rules. There's particularly this line I liked,

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: the rules in life. The rules you have to follow

246
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: in life will be based on the behavior of the

247
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: bottom quintile.

248
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,119
Speaker 1: That has always driven.

249
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 4: Me crazy, right, right, Wow, I'll talk to any cop

250
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: and the percentages that are different, and it's not twenty percent,

251
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: but they'll tell you I spend ninety percent of my

252
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: time on two percent of the population.

253
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: Right, and so kind of fitting in with that, and

254
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: schools all across the country. The New York Times had

255
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: this horrifying article that I couldn't quite figure out if

256
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: it's one.

257
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Of those.

258
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Grab a half a dozen things that

259
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: happened across this giant nation and pretend there's a trend

260
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: occurring or this is a trend, or somewhere in between.

261
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: They're talking about all.

262
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: The videos of brawls at schools, particularly cafeterias, but it

263
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: can happen in any school anywhere, all across the United States,

264
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: and how this has become a thing. Let me read

265
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: a couple of paragraphs from the New York Times article.

266
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: Across the United States, technology centered on cell phones in

267
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: the form of text messages, videos, and social media has

268
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: increasingly fueled and sometimes intensified campus brawls, disrupting schools and

269
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: derailing learning. The school fight videos then often sparked news

270
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: cycles of student cyberbuwling, verbal aggression and violence. A New

271
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: York Times review of more than four hundred fight videos

272
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: from schools in California, Georgia, Texas, and a dozen other states,

273
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: as well as interviews with three dozen leaders, teachers, police officers, pupils,

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: parents and researchers, found a pattern of middle and high

275
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: school students exploiting phones and social media to arrange, provoke, capture,

276
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: and spread footage of brutal beatings among their peers, and

277
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: several cases students later died from the injuries.

278
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Holy cow, I know.

279
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: I saw that headline and I didn't even read the

280
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: article because I didn't want it to be true, and

281
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: I wanted it to be a Okay, it's happening sometimes

282
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: maybe more than it used to or I'm not even

283
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: sure of that. And they turned this into a story.

284
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that's the case, because I don't want it

285
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: to be a growing trend.

286
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: I will keep some details vague to protect the innocent,

287
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 4: but a longtime friend of the family, career teacher, including

288
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: substitute teaching on and off a lot, landed a long

289
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: term substituting gig in a nice part of the world,

290
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: well fairly nice part of a great state that may

291
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: or may not border the Pacific Ocean, and a week

292
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: or two in said, Nope, I'm out students were uncontrollable

293
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: in a way she'd never seen before.

294
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Right.

295
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: I have a friend whose wife teaches high school and

296
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: has been afraid for her safety many, many times.

297
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: It just comes with the job.

298
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: When were teachers ever afraid for their safety when I

299
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: was a kid. I don't know if that ever happened.

300
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: Once working class suburb of Chicago where I went to school,

301
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: it was utterly unthinkable. The idea of violence against a

302
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: teacher sure unthinkable.

303
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: Or intimidating them right through threat of violence, no way,

304
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: you can put up without it for obvious reasons.

305
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: No, no happened on our watch, not the kids. No

306
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: that it can't be said enough, can't be said enough.

307
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: The adults make the rules and come up with the punishments.

308
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

309
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: Well, I realize it sounds like a religent right winger,

310
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: but I happen to be correct on this. It is

311
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: the policies of the left that have brought us this

312
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: this madness. I've got a bunch of stories from schools

313
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: around the country where they well, the kids are way behind.

314
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: The recovery from COVID and the COVID shutdowns in the

315
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: US much worse than other countries.

316
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: And part of the reason.

317
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: Is it's because they're teaching them all sorts of crap

318
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: and not the basics.

319
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

320
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: We're talking about this when we got drones hovering above

321
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: us doing god knows what.

322
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: We'll check in on a drone story. It was covered

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: quite a bit in the media over the weekend. We'll

324
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: see who was saying, what about what?

325
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: If you haven't been probed yet, you will be get ready.

326
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Just prepare yourself, armstrong, and getty.

327
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 7: My feeling is, and it's a hunch more than knowledge.

328
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 7: Because we have yet to receive the briefing that I've demanded.

329
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 7: The federal government knows a lot less than it should.

330
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a high profile Democratic Senator, Richard Bloomenthal in

331
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: a you know, when you got a White House, a

332
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: Democrat in the White House who's not getting briefings and

333
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: doesn't know what's going on.

334
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: So mean that had the theory earlier about what it

335
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: might be.

336
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: Maybe talk about that again later, But how would that

337
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: leave out a guy like Richard Blumenthal?

338
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Just that I don't know if that makes sense.

339
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: Anyway, a fair amount of conversation over the weekend, will

340
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: play a couple of clips, then discuss, uh, this is

341
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: waste of skin. Alejandro majorcis, who is the DHS secretary

342
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 3: on ABC this week, and right after him, Chris Christy

343
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: was on, it is our.

344
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 8: Job to be vigilant in the federal government on behalf

345
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 8: of the American public, and we can assure their safety

346
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 8: by reason of that vigilance. If we identify any foreign

347
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 8: involvement or criminal activity, we will communicate with the American

348
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 8: public accordingly.

349
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: That is this a mass hystary of some sort.

350
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 9: Well, here's why, George, because of answers, like the secretary

351
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 9: just cave they're not answering the questions.

352
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Well, he said that they're monitoring it.

353
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 8: They haven't seen any unusual activity, and they need more authority.

354
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 9: Let me say something. I agree that they need more authority,

355
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 9: but to say this is not unusual activity, it's just wrong.

356
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: What he said, we're monitoring it, got I government people

357
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: were keeping an eye on that.

358
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: What is it? Chris Christy goes on.

359
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 9: I'd want our state police to be able to have

360
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 9: the authority to bring those drones down, yes, and find

361
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 9: out why they're doing what they're doing now we're talking,

362
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 9: and of course we'd have to coordinate with the FAA,

363
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 9: but we do that kind of coordination.

364
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: All the time.

365
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 9: But the states do not have enough authority now to

366
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 9: do what they need to do.

367
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: And what we're gonna find.

368
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: Is you're gonna have individuals acting as drone vigilantes and

369
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 9: they're gonna start taking them down. That's not what we

370
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 9: want because they're now an important part of commerce, and

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 9: law enforcement uses them frequently for surveillance and other things.

372
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 9: We need to be able to operate in a safe way,

373
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 9: and we're not doing that.

374
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 3: So that is that is I'm surprised that hasn't happened

375
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 3: already that somebody who operates, you know, decent sized drones

376
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: hasn't brought one of these down somehow.

377
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: First of all, interesting and ironic that you have waste

378
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: of skin. Mayork is followed by excess user of skin

379
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: Chris Christy debating the issues of the day.

380
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: But back to the facts.

381
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: Before we get to the facts, did you say the

382
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: tweet from Doc Trump over the weekend with his explanation

383
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: of the drones in New Jersey they were all delivering

384
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: Chris Christy McDonald's it's got an Ai picture of an

385
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: extra fat Chris Christie sitting there eating French fries and

386
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: Big Max as drones lowered them down to right.

387
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 4: That's the incoming president of the United States with that

388
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: sophomorec Ai gag, oh my gosh, slash fat joke at

389
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: the expense of arrival, my god. Well to summarize it,

390
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: and then we've got some more good audio. But the

391
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal Editorial board said, drones and the cost

392
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: of lost trust conspiracy theories fly in public. Anger builds

393
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: when Americans don't believe their government, and they cite this

394
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 4: joint statement by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Ah,

395
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 4: they got together to craft an important statement because people

396
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 4: are really stirred up. I quote, we have no evidence

397
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: at this time that they reported drone sightings post a

398
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 4: national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.

399
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: So Mayarcus did point out that the FAA changed its

400
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: policy last year to allow drones to fly at night

401
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: as long as they have lights. So part of the

402
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: I've never seen this before, and Chris Christy said, I've

403
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: lived in this house for thirty years. I'm seeing drones

404
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: over my yard. All right, this is new, this is different,

405
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: and what is it, which is a good question. Mayarchus

406
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: is saying, well, you couldn't fly drones until late last

407
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 3: year at night because they needed lights, and the FA

408
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: cleared that, so there are new rules allowing it. Okay,

409
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: that is one explanation. And as we mentioned earlier, everybody

410
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: is making lots of people are reporting planes. Okay, fine,

411
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: lots of people are reporting planes. But that doesn't have

412
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: any That doesn't answer the question to the original drone story,

413
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: because nobody's denying that there are drones flying around out there.

414
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: And you had congress people like police chiefs and sending

415
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: up drones trying to look at him, or a congress

416
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: person who hired a private I and all kinds of

417
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 3: different stuff. I mean, Americus doesn't sound like he's in

418
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: on the joke. If it's some sort of government pentagon

419
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: test of some sort of course, he's such a government drone.

420
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 3: If he were to announce we just executed one hundred

421
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: workers at the department for failing to file their forms

422
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: on time, he would it would be the same total

423
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: voices he says everything.

424
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: You know, I am astounded personally, this is the first

425
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 4: time I've heard about the FAA rule change about drones.

426
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: I had no idea. Yeah, I'm learning this now as

427
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: we speak. That was the only thing he said yesterday.

428
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, okay, that actually kind of makes some sense.

429
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: At the same time, you've got a Chinese national.

430
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 4: He's in jail right now because he was surveiling is

431
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 4: it Vanderberg's space base in California with a drone? He'd

432
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 4: been googling drone rules Vandenburg Air Force Bace base, but

433
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: clearly surveilling our military establishments on behalf of the Chinese government,

434
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: as the Chinese spy balloon was. So there's something going on.

435
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: It's not all of the Now every other geek is

436
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 4: reporting every airplane that flies over their house. I mean,

437
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: that's happening too, But that's not all of it. And

438
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 4: that's why, you know, I open the show with calling

439
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 4: it drone mania. Now it's gone so far beyond the

440
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: facts of the case. If there was one evil clown

441
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: lurking at the edge of the woods that we should

442
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 4: know about, now everybody's fixated on it and it's just

443
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 4: gotten wild.

444
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: In Williams, all.

445
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 3: Right, but government officials coming on saying the vast majority

446
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: of the reports turn out to be planes. That is

447
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: not an explanation. That is you obscuring on purpose this conversation.

448
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: Here's more for Richard Bluenthal. I think it's important because

449
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: he's a Democrat, he's a high ranking senator. He's on

450
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 3: lots of the mine is that you'd think would know

451
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: about this. He goes on, it.

452
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 7: Isn't a matter of classified information. If there is classified

453
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 7: data here, it ought to be released to reassure the public.

454
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: But my fear is that the federal government knows little

455
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 7: or nothing about most of these sightings because there are

456
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 7: no flight plans and it has not used the drone

457
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 7: specific technology that is available. We are to deploy those

458
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 7: resources so that the federal government and our state and

459
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 7: local officials know a lot more.

460
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is so confusing. Just a little more

461
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 1: from him on this.

462
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 7: There is alarm and there's danger. There's real jeopardy at airports,

463
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 7: military installations. That has to be addressed with the authority

464
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: that the Department of Homeland Security, the FAA, the FBI,

465
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 7: the Department of Defense all have right now. And that's

466
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 7: why I'm asking for action.

467
00:24:52,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 10: How do you explain that, How do his words specifically, Well,

468
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 10: the fact that he clearly thinks it's important and dangerous

469
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 10: and scary.

470
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: At the level that he's at, he clearly.

471
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: Has no idea what's going on, right, So how do

472
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: you explain it if it's if it's some sort of

473
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: government operation.

474
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: Well, I think number one twenty twenty four is going

475
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 4: to be looked back on as the ear of the drone,

476
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 4: not only because of this stuff, but the incredible leap

477
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: forward in unmanned warrior vehicles on the battlefields of Ukraine

478
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 4: and how that technology is being picked up and enlarged

479
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: upon and innovated all over the world. I was just

480
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: reading about unmanned submarine vehicles. I happen to have a

481
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: close relative who may or may not have been a

482
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: career naval officer who is involved in unmanned arcotic vehicles.

483
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: This is the direction it's all going in, and this

484
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: is the opening moment in they're freaking everywhere doing everything land, air,

485
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 4: and sea. Having said that, here's what's going on the military,

486
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: and this is you know, like top secret, compartmented. Dick

487
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 4: Blumenthal does not hear about this stuff. He doesn't have

488
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 4: that clearance. It's something the military is doing, or the

489
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: or the intelligence services are doing, or they're observing or

490
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 4: doing countermeasures against China or something like that. At the

491
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 4: most secret echelonsa government, they know what's going on, and

492
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 4: they're just figuring, we're gonna keep our mouths shut because

493
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: in two to five days, Travis Kelcey is gonna propose

494
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: to Taylor Swift, or Joe Biden is going to keel

495
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: over dead, or Trump is going to to pardon Hitler

496
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: or something, when somewhere exactly right in America is gonna

497
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 4: go ape dung over that and forget about this completely.

498
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: In fact, if I was in charge, that would be

499
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: my policy. No, we're not saying it's saying they'll forget

500
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: about it next week.

501
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: Hmmm.

502
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: Well, what about when you're getting to the point that

503
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: you have sitting government officials and former governors saying we

504
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: need to bring these down or about to be President

505
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: Trump said it the.

506
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: Other day, we need to shoot one of these down.

507
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: So we'll just make sure it's the seven o five

508
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 4: flight from New York to Miami.

509
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

510
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: But do you continue to keep it a secret knowing

511
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 3: what it is when you got people starting to uh,

512
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 3: marshal their resources to bring these down.

513
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: At this point, were I in charge the my Taylor

514
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 4: Swift strategies, We've taken a calling it around the bureau.

515
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 4: UH is starting to look like maybe it's taking too long. Yeah,

516
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm at this point. I'm probably gonna say, Look, we've

517
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: got to give a heads up to the president or something.

518
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 4: Have somebody make a statement. It's a top secret program

519
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 4: in the US military. We've got under control. Everybody's fits

Speaker 3: are going to be all over the place. Amazon ups,

549
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: government spying on you, keeping taking a look at traffic,

550
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: or for your own good, we're doing this, but they're

551
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: flying over every aighborhood. I'm surprised that hasn't hapened yet.

552
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: My final note on this I came across this fact

553
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: to a jack, brace yourself.

554
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: According to the.

555
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: Twitter account that I'll hold back the important part, but

556
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: it posted we are ft. The drones are Project blue Beam.

557
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: Apparently.

558
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: Project blue Beam Reforms refers to a play by governments

559
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: in the military to stage celestial events as a pretext

560
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: to impose authoritarian rule.

561
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: All right, very q and ho ish.

562
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: That Twitter account has one hundred and ninety two thousand followers.

563
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: Whoa Project blue Beam Jack? That's not what happening or

564
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: is it? No, it's not.

565
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: You'll be part of Project red ass after you look

566
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: at Project blue Beam. Huh okay, something something, Take to

567
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: the straits, hold a demonstration.

568
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, darn it. Things are getting worse, not better.

569
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Is anybody noticed that things are getting weird and they're

570
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: getting weird fast? God? No kidding. That was last year's

571
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: clip of the air, and it's still true this year.

572
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Son of a. Things are getting weird and they getting

573
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: weird fast.

574
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 4: And generally that doesn't mean things will be placid next year.

575
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: One funny thing about Mayorcis before we take a break,

576
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: is my thirteen year old doesn't have any.

577
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: Idea who the.

578
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: Secretary of Homeland Security is, but I was watching news

579
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 3: as we drove around, listening to news, and he's kind

580
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: of interested in the drone story, as any thirteen year

581
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: old boy would be. But he's listening to Americans and said,

582
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: who is is that guy? He doesn't say anything. I

583
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: thought it's interesting that a thirteen year old, without going

584
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: into it jaded, had that reaction to a droning bureaucrat.

585
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: Who says nothing. Wisdom, young man, Wisdom to that obvious

586
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: to everyone.

587
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: We've got more on the ways, stay here.

588
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: We got Luigi.

589
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: I really feel sorry for the family.

590
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 5: Everybody's fixated on how good looking this guy looks.

591
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: If you look like Joana Hill, you no one would care.

592
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: They'd already give him him a chair, already be dead.

593
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: Okay, but he actually killed a man, a young man,

594
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: a man with a family, you know, the healthcare ceo.

595
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a real person. Yeah, but you

596
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: also got a you know, sometimes drug dealers get shot.

597
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: Chris Rock on Saturday Night Live.

598
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: Obviously that was controversial, although he went farther than a

599
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: lot of people on that side of politics have gone

600
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: in feeling bad about a actual human being, a father, husband,

601
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: being gunned down by.

602
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: A psychopath Luigi has gotten a high profile lawyer.

603
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: I guess because you got all the gofundmes out there

604
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: and rich people who want to support his defense.

605
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Give me ninety one, Michael.

606
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 11: He was brilliant his whole life. He comes from this

607
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 11: great family. I mean something changed, right, significantly, something changed,

608
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 11: and they're going to, I think, potentially have a not

609
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 11: guilty by reason of insanity potential defense.

610
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: I think that is not only a good way to

611
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: avoid the worst kind of prison. Probably it might actually

612
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: be true. He might have gone crazy.

613
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a gal who is on a panel

614
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: on ABC and a high profile defense lawyer, and she

615
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: got hired up by the family who apparently either liked

616
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 4: the cut of her jib or sar on ABC or

617
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: something like that.

618
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: If I have my act together as the murderous scumbag,

619
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: like my brain's working, what I'm telling my lawyer is

620
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: I'm guilty and there's no way you're going to be

621
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: able to do anything about that. But keep me out

622
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: of one of those horrible prisons where I'm like getting

623
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: beaten to death by some horrible gang.

624
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: You know that My concern So.

625
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 4: Two interesting theories about what went to south with this

626
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: this young man in his brain. And number one, we

627
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: had a listener who's got some experience with this point

628
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 4: out that what appeared to be a really serious spine

629
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: injury often goes with traumatic brain injury that is or

630
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 4: is not always diagnosed properly, and mood changes and personality

631
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: changes can go along with TBI who knows just a

632
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 4: thought because he has a hell of a lot of

633
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 4: screws in his spine for a young man of his age.

634
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 4: Second thing, though, is Fox News was interviewing this Cornell

635
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: law professor about how brutally anti corporate this young man

636
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: appears to be with all of his Ivy League credentials,

637
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: and he said, quote, it's fairly uniform in the Ivy

638
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 4: League and other so called elite educational institutions that they

639
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 4: skew extremely heavily to the left among the faculty. The

640
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 4: Modern Democratic Party leads very heavily to the left, has

641
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: a very strong anti American, anti capitalist wing to it.

642
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 4: So not surprised me if somebody growing up and getting

643
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 4: educated in that atmosphere became radicalized. Activism is now considered

644
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: a vital part of the teaching for many professors. He said,

645
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 4: they do not distinguish between their teaching and their activism.

646
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 4: Most clearly manifests itself on the anti Israel front, but

647
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 4: it's elsewhere too, on the anti capitalist front. If you're

648
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: educating yourself in that atmosphere, I certainly could understand why

649
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: someone would have hostile views towards a health insurance company.

650
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 4: So he got radicalized, right, Yeah, so his whole spine injury,

651
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: brain injury, or maybe win schizophrenic or whatever. That's all possible,

652
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 4: of course, But there's also an awful lot of people

653
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: that went to the same kind of colleges he went to,

654
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 4: who think it was a good idea that he killed

655
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: this guy. So you remember that assistant to English professor

656
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 4: her statement the other day that it was the best

657
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 4: thing or it made her joyful.

658
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: Or whatever the hell she said.

659
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Penn has come out and said antithetical to the values,

660
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: not condoned, inappropriate, inoffensive or offensive. So yeah, but it

661
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: was the classic definition of a gaff. She said the

662
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: quiet part out loud. She accidentally got caught telling the truth.

663
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: So far, there's been no copycat that were aware of

664
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: an attempt. I hope that continues. We've got a lot

665
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: more on the way.
