15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: My first good impression yet. The guy has interpoll written

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: all over him, he's got a he's got an orange

17

Speaker 1: on that later. Chuck. I'm pretty much sure you had

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this, so you may not have

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: heard about it. Um. Back in two thousand eleven about

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: this time. March two thousand eleven, inter Poll, the international

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: police organization, cracked a UM child pedophile ring, the biggest

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: one ever really centered on a website I guess appropriately

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: enough called boy lover dot net run out of Amsterdam.

25
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Boy lover dot net is just a straight up legitimate

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: gay porn site, but there was a forum there with

27
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: like seventy thousand members with that like said, well, hey,

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: you're you're into this kind of thing too, huh Um,

29
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: I got a video that you're gonna love, and I

30
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: also have a little boy that I'm gonna mail to you.

31
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: So this wasn't affiliated with the website. No, they're just

32
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: using one of the forums as a meeting place for pedophiles.

33
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: But Interpol busted these guys up, rescued UM two and

34
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: thirty kids, arrested a hundred and eight four UM suspects

35
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: just in the first sweet pretty much in thirty countries. Yeah,

36
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: good for them, It is good for them. It's just

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: one of the many victories and triumphs over pederasty that

38
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Interpol can boast. That's right, and not just pederasty, like

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: all sorts of huge international crimes. Anytime there's a crime

40
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: syndicate or a ring. You need to watch out because

41
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Interpoll's watching you. Into Poll is right behind you. Why

42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: does y'all plasia? Uh? And this was actually fans generated this. Um.

43
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: This came on Facebook like three days ago. Oh really,

44
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I wish i'd have got the guy's name. Some kid

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: was like, hey, can you do one interpoll? And I went, yeah, sure, sure.

46
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: He wasn't talking about the band. He might have been.

47
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: They still around. Yeah, they're still around. H yeah they are. Yeah,

48
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what they're doing these days.

49
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan, so I don't know. Dude, how

50
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: do you not like Inner Pole? Just like listen to

51
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: their music and it didn't sit right in my ears.

52
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I thought, like everybody like Dinner Pole. Yeah,

53
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: they're just good. Yeah, yeah, do you think all right?

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: INTERPOL the International Criminal Police Organization or i c PO,

55
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: or if you're in France or their headquartered, you might

56
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: call it the Organists Organist Internacional de Police criminal very nice,

57
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: which is pretty much the same thing and different word order.

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, but criminal is feminine. Oh yeah, yeah,

59
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they like the ladies. Yes, all right, So,

60
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: as you said, Josh, they are an international UM fully autonomous,

61
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: not affiliated with any single country or inization. I think

62
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: they're a hundred eighty six countries nine now, and they

63
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: all contribute to the to the budget, to the kitty

64
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: based on their size and their g d P and

65
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: some other factors. It's very it's very fair, um, but

66
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: it's very important, like you said, that they're not beholden

67
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: to any one country, UM and that they remain neutral,

68
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: and they don't and they don't engage in any um

69
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: any investigations into political stuff things UM contributing or being

70
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: centered on race or um religion. That's right. My brain

71
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: is now working today. My brain is uh so what

72
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: they do, Josh, you just said what they don't do?

73
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: What they do do, uh terrorism, sexual terrorism like nobody,

74
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: sexual abuse, especially with children, which is what you just

75
00:04:52,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: talked about. UM, organized crime, international fugitives, computer crime, UM stolen,

76
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: aren't money laundering, human trafficking, illegal drugs, smuggling, environmental crime,

77
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: anything that crosses international borders. Almost you're gonna find into

78
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: pol helping helping out with But and you said the

79
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: magic phrase helping out like interpoll doesn't have they don't

80
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: run around like arresting guys. Place back guys. It is

81
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: interpoll UM and they they don't have interpolled jail, as

82
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: a Grabanowski points out, UM. But what they do is

83
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: they serve as this international meeting point for UM already

84
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: established national agencies. Right, So let's let's do a little scenario.

85
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm FBI agent Todd Ridgeway of the des Moines, IOWA

86
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: Field office, and your agent, Vinny Testaverity of the Politia

87
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Destado in Italy, and I believe a terrorist is UM

88
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: hiding out near your fel Old office in Genoa. So

89
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm calling you up like ring ring. This is Todd Ridgeway.

90
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm with the FBI in Des Moines. Hey, Todd, this

91
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: is Vinny tes So. And see what Chuck just demonstrated

92
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: was how it doesn't work because Vinny Testaverdi doesn't speak

93
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: a look of English and Todd Ridgeway doesn't speak any Italian. Right.

94
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: And not only that, he shouldn't have been calling Vinny Testaverdi,

95
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: he should have been calling Giuseppe de Bikono UM, who's

96
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: with the local police, because that's what the Italian UM

97
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: police bureaucracy protocol calls for but he has no idea, no,

98
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: so what does he do? He calls into POTE that's right,

99
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: and they step up and they're like, you know, he

100
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: need to get in touch with You need to get

101
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: in touch with Vinny Testa, Verdie's cousin who works for

102
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: the state police over there, the Polizza but Italy, because

103
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: there who's handling this case. Here's their number. In fact,

104
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and patch it through. But not

105
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: only that, I'm gonna and I'm going to translate for you. Um. Yeah,

106
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: So they're the interpoll Um. Interpol has what are called

107
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: National Central Bureaus national country Bureaus no National Central Bureaus

108
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: n CBS, and that's like an FBI field office, but

109
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: they have them in different countries around the world, and

110
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: they serve as liaisons for the local or state or

111
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: national police with the same their counterparts in other countries.

112
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: That's the big one. Yea. It gets you know when

113
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: you it's it's complicated enough within these United States with

114
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: jurisdictions and protocol, but when you open it up to

115
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the world, boy, it gets all kinds of crazy. So

116
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: luckily into poll is there you've been any peing contests well,

117
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: they probably tried to, but them should they exist? Um.

118
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Their big deal is their databases, because the FBI and

119
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: the CIA, why they might all have like and whatever

120
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: your country's databases are crime databases, they probably just extend

121
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: to that country, unless it's like some sort of database

122
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: on terrorism. UM interpolls. Databases are away extensive. They circle

123
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: the globe and they can track criminals pretty much anywhere

124
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and everywhere. Fingerprints, mug shots, wanted people, DNA, you name it. UM.

125
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: They have a they have a database just of lost

126
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: lost in stolen travel documents. It's got more than like

127
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: twelve million files to it. Yeah. I think I saw

128
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: somewhere today too that they said most people don't try

129
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: and recover those, which I thought was interesting. Well, I

130
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: imagine like if you lose your passport, you're probably traveling

131
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: abroad and yeah, you're not getting that back. You never

132
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: know unless you go. Yeah, yeah, they could have your

133
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: stuff because who knows, they could that could have been

134
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: stolen to be used in some trafficking syndicate. It's true,

135
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: and your name could be all drug all through the

136
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: mud on boilover dot net. UM. The the database that

137
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: they are, the databases that they maintain or are their own,

138
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: but they're open and their access through this UM communications

139
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: net we're called I seven. That's something because inter poll

140
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: is UM. They're open seven three even on Christmas. They're

141
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: fully operational. Really, they don't close down like all the

142
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: police do here on Christmas. No, because think about it, man, UM, Well, yes,

143
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: I get your joke, but I mean think about the

144
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: skeleton crews that go down. I think inter polls open

145
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: all the time because they cross all all UM time

146
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: zones at all times. Yeah, so they kind of have

147
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: to be ready to go all the time because you know,

148
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: while one guy sleeping, the criminals in one country are sleeping,

149
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: their wide awake and carrying out bad activities in another.

150
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: That's true. What else can they do, josh? Oh? They

151
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: serve that seven is also a place where you can

152
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: access another country's databases. So there's those those nationally bound

153
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: database has become international through this portal and interpal overseas

154
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: all of that, so they know what's going on. UM.

155
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: They also, let's say there's an international disaster of some sort,

156
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: like a terrorist attack, assassination, UM, they can send an

157
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: incident response team UM generally coordinated through the U N.

158
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: If there's some sort of actually a natural disaster like

159
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the tsunami efforts, they can send people down there to

160
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: help UM identify people and look for missing persons. UH,

161
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: protect kids, because I can guarantee you there are a

162
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of pedophiles who traveled to Indonesia after that tsunami.

163
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: That's right. That's crazy, man, that's just that's awful. Imagine

164
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: like losing your parents, being seven, suddenly an orphan, and

165
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: then now there's some guy who's like, hey, you're coming

166
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: to Holland with me. You're like, no, I'm not. He's like, yeah,

167
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: you really are. Well, you don't understand what he's saying.

168
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: He just offers you the lolly in a in a

169
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: car ride. Yeah. Very sad. But thanks to interpoll things

170
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: like that are being thwarted. Uh. And I saw there's

171
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: two types of incident response teams UM. They have the

172
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: criminal type and the disaster type UM and but they

173
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: both serve in an advisory capacity and they show up

174
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: with their database like I can get you into. They

175
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: can act as a central command. Though if local authorities say, hey,

176
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: we need your help to act as central command, help

177
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: us out with logistics. UM. I think the Grabster said

178
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: in two thousand five they did that twelve times once

179
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: a month. Not bad. Dust off the old work and shoes. Yeah,

180
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: like get out the field. Yeah, time to get out

181
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: of bed. How's it? Structure? Josh, Well, I'll tell you.

182
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Interpoll is made up of a General Assembly in which

183
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: each of the member nations has one delegate and one

184
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: vote thanks a love sense. They meet once a year

185
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: and they vote on all the big stuff, which kind

186
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: of makes it a slow, lumbering bureaucracy unless they invest

187
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of authority into the Executive Committee, which is

188
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: the thirteen member committee that basically carries out all the

189
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: administrative functions of Interpol. And they are elected, as is

190
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: the Secretary General, although it saysn't here appointed. That's all elected.

191
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, now he's elected because um I saw

192
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: this guy, Ronald K. Noble. He got an overwhelming elegy

193
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: of the vote for his second reelection. So he's in

194
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: his third term, first time ever. Yeah, which is I

195
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: think he's running from under this current term. And he

196
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: is the first American secretary general if I'm not mistaken right,

197
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: And he's the first three time secretary general too. Then

198
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot of frenchie's I think I saw one, uh Englishman. Yeah,

199
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: and uh, there's definitely one German cause there was some

200
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: controversy with that. I believe the president is Korean, now, okay,

201
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: not to be confused with the secretary general. The president

202
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: is beneath him, right. The Secretary General is who actually

203
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: runs the day to day show, right, and he's headquartered

204
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: um in the General Secretariat, which is the main headquarters

205
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: in Leon, France. That's right, um. And then there's other

206
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: there's regional offices. There's six of them, the sixth of

207
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: which is in New York, and that's the special Liaison

208
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: under the u N. Because Interpoll very wisely got in

209
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: with the u N because like this body has some

210
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: staying power. That's right. We're gonna become friendly with them.

211
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: You can also find these place offices in Argentina, El Salvador, Thailand, Kenya,

212
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: Zimbabwe and Cote Dvoir. Very nice, Thank you? Did you

213
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: practice in No? Just it's lovely name that I've said

214
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: it many use myself. Yet it means the um coast

215
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: devoir in French. Okay. You mentioned that we all all

216
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: member countries chip in for the budget. UM. The budget

217
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: is not a lot, though, compared to like any budget

218
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: in the United States. I think in two thousand seven,

219
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: um the grabster pointed it at roughly sixty one million

220
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: dollars US or forty four a million euros, which I

221
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: wonder what that's equal to now, two thousand seven dollars

222
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: to two thousand eleven. But it's a big change. I

223
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: should have looked up the current budget actually failed to.

224
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: It's okay, Chuck, let's talk about the notices. So this

225
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: is their other big thing. Um. They don't just sit

226
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: around and and wait to be asked for help. They

227
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: also disseminate information, and they do it through color coded notices.

228
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: They've got, Um, let's see what is the nine? Eight?

229
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: Think seven? Okay, so they have eight now because they

230
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: added another one after this after the Stephen. Yes, um,

231
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: and the different color codes mean different things. So you're

232
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: going to get via teletype possibly facts or maybe even email.

233
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: You'll get like some sort of maybe a PDF document

234
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: of um, say Orange basically says like, hey, we've got

235
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: we have pretty good idea that there's an imminent threat

236
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: and it's this guy and he's wearing this coat and

237
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: he's got a bomb. Yeah. So that if you get

238
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: an orange one, your head better perk up and you

239
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: need to look closely. That's right. Black is unidentified bodies.

240
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: That's the same one. That's the sattus of all notices

241
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: UM yellow missing persons. It's probably second status, uh green

242
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: general information and warnings about major criminals. So this one

243
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: is kind of it. Um, that's pretty vague. High well,

244
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: it highlights another function that they have. UM that it

245
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: wasn't explicitly stated in this article, but I gleaned using

246
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: my powers of deduction, that they have analysts who crunch

247
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: all this data, who poured through databasis, look at crime trends,

248
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: look at criminal trends, and then um come up with

249
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: basically just general notices. When they're sitting around with some

250
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: time on their hands, they issue green notices that say like, hey,

251
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: here's another angle to a case that you might not

252
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: have thought of. For interesting, have you met this guy.

253
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: Here's all the bad stuff he's done. He may be

254
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, right, that kind of thing, And the

255
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: local authorities say, yeah, yeah, interval, we got we know

256
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: you've got some time on your hand. Very nice, thank you.

257
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: The blue notice Josh is um individuals of interest related

258
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: to a crime, including the possible witnesses or suspects or

259
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: persons of interest. Is a good umbrella term for those

260
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: kinds of people your crime that's already been comming, people

261
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: who ran with the wrong crowd, where at the wrong place,

262
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: in the wrong time, and didn't stick around. On an

263
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: international level, that's right. Red. Recently, Mr Juliana Sans was

264
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: issued at the red notice, which means you are wanted

265
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: and it's sort of like a world wide a PB.

266
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: You gotta keep that. You print it out and put

267
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: it on your wall. What a red inner pole notice

268
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: on you? Oh yeah, got two find of his. I'll

269
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: bet he kept his thin I'll bet he's one of

270
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: the few who did. With photoshop though, I mean, you

271
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: can never tell if it's real or not. You or

272
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: I could make our own. I mean we should do that.

273
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: Why not have a feeling one's coming your way. UH

274
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: interpoll notice which is not a color. That was scary

275
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: to me because it was the only one that's not

276
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: a color unless the new one you talked about. It

277
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: is not a color. The Interpol notice means, um, it's

278
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: a U n UH Security Council Special notice, meaning groups

279
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: of individuals involved with al Qaeda or the Taliban or

280
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: at work. Yeah, people who have UN sanctions on them. Um.

281
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Then there's now the Purple notice, which, um, basically it's

282
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: kind of like a green notice. It's like, hey, be

283
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: aware of this kind of stuff that's going on, but

284
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: it's about what people are doing, like international criminal trans

285
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Like do you remember I think they were like pen guns.

286
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: There was like just a few years back, there was

287
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: like a pen that could shoot and it was very

288
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: low powered. But I think inter Poll sent out a

289
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: notice on this, like, hey, you guys need to be

290
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: aware that this thing's out there. Okay, well, inter Poll

291
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: probably inspired the writer. Interesting, it was a comedy too.

292
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: I guarantee Interpoll inspired the writer. It was pretty funny.

293
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: It was Fred red Ward, Fred Warder, Fred Willard fred

294
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Ward Okay, the time writer Remo Williams. Yeah, he had

295
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: a he had a pen gun and shot at dude

296
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: in the neck. It was kind of funny. What movie

297
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: was it, Uh, thirty Minutes or Less with Danny McBride

298
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: and uh, it was good. The guy who played Facebook

299
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: he laid Facebook Mark, Yeah, the Jesse Eisenberg there, they

300
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: were both in that. It was sort of funny, but

301
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: not highly recommended. But that scene was funny because Fred

302
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Willards like, you think it's a pen and all of

303
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: sudden need to shoot the stude in the neck with it.

304
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: That's funny. Um, that's high comedy. Yeah, it was very much. Um.

305
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I watched Inside Man again last night. That's such a

306
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: good movie. Which one is that Spike Lee heist movie

307
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: with Clive Owens that dude, really Yeah, you hadn't seen

308
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: it either. I made it watch the last night. She's like,

309
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: this is a good movie. That's one of the few

310
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Spike Lee movies I have not seen. It's see that

311
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: all right? Have you seen twenty Yeah that's a good

312
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: one too. Yeah. I think Inside Man hasn't beaten all right.

313
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, Purple is just basically like information on new

314
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: types of criminal activity that people need to be made

315
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: aware of, like pen guns, gotcha and Fred Ward, But

316
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: the pen gun was a real warning or a real

317
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: purple warning. Notice, I don't know. I'm just assuming I'm

318
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: using example. So let's talk about the history of interpoll Chuck.

319
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: It has a strange, tumultuous history that closely fall It

320
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: was the tumult of the twentieth century if you ask me, Yeah,

321
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: and Ed kind of breeze right over the whole Nazi

322
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: part of it. There's been a lot of controversy over that. Actually,

323
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, why are they accused of colluding? Well, let's

324
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: back up. They were formed and being in Austria, uh,

325
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: during World War Two. Ed says they were interrupted when

326
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the Nazis took control, deposed the Secretary General moved to

327
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: Berlin for a short time, but then after the war

328
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: everything was rebuilt, they moved to Paris, and that's kind

329
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: of all he said. I looked a little further into it,

330
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: and it's pretty uh, pretty controversial those years, UM, when

331
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: it was under Nazi rule. Obviously, Uh, they shared headquarters

332
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: with the Gestapo, officially operated UM as a division within

333
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: the Nazi Security Police, and to Nazi war criminals were

334
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 1: the agency's presidents during the wartime. Plus they overspent on

335
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: Christmas partes. Uh. And then this A read a Times

336
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: article and some of the comments back to the editorial said,

337
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: you guys even kind of whitewashed it because after the

338
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: war they refused to take part in the sixties and

339
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 1: seventies in any of the Nazi war crime hunting, war

340
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: criminal hunts. Uh wow, I had no idea, Chuck, I'm

341
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: really glad you did this. Yeah. And then uh in

342
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: nineteen their president uh to seventy two was Paul Dickkop

343
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: and he was an s S officer. No, he was

344
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: and remained president despite them finding out about this and

345
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: knowing about this, and that was pretty controversial. Toe, I'll

346
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: bet you don't usually want Nazis leading your organization former

347
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Nazis either, no, you know what I'm saying. Once the Nazi,

348
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: always the Nazi in my opinion. Well, dip Cop was

349
00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: the he was that the president for whatever four years. Yeah. Wow.

350
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of people, a lot of people say

351
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: interpoll is like run without oversight and they have all

352
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: this access, but no one has access to their real

353
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: like how they do things the opposite of how grab

354
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Minowski tells them. Yeah, it's a little more controversial than

355
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: I thought. Wants to start poking around. Well, I I

356
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: guess it was probably the VHS tapes that started to

357
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: bring them out of the dark and into uh, I

358
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: guess a brighter role. Remember the Interpol warning on old

359
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: video cassettes? Now was that interval? Oh yeah, and now

360
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: it's like an FBI warring. But before and every once

361
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: in a while you'll still see it like Interpol warning

362
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: it's again like copyright theft and piracy. Um. But yeah,

363
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: apparently they now are they've shed themselves of Nazis and

364
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: have a third term Secretary General who's busting pedophiles in Amsterdam.

365
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: And did you pretty I think that's good? I'm saying,

366
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, they've they've apparently tried to clean up

367
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: their image a lot since those days. It's crazy, man um.

368
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: And you did you hear about the executive order Obama

369
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: signed and oh nine, it was pretty controversial among conservatives

370
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: because little background. The International Organization and Immunities Act in

371
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: ninety five was signed into law, and basically that meant

372
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: the president could say certain organizations international organizations that worked

373
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: in the US are exempted from certain things like taxes,

374
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: search and sees or laws. And pretty much every president

375
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: has said you can be a part of this, like

376
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: the Red Cross Reagan UH in nineteen eighty three included

377
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: interpoll Um as part of that group. Songs like four

378
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: different sections dealing with property taxes, social security, federal taxes, customs, duties,

379
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: and UH having property and assets searched and confiscated then

380
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: and O nine, Obama said those four things now you're

381
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: immune from as well, so you have full immunity Interpoll

382
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: does in the United States from these things. And conservatives

383
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: got up in arms about, you know, the fact that

384
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Obama had signed this. They tend to get up in

385
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: army anything he signed, like his his dinner check. Uh.

386
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: But then people rallied back and said, well, you know,

387
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought you wanted someone tough on crime, and he's

388
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: basically saying Interpoll has more rights to do their thing

389
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: in the United States. So which way do you want it?

390
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: Or do you just want to complain about everything that

391
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: he does? Uh? And the Obama administration said that, you

392
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: know what, this really didn't give them any more free

393
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: reign than Reagan had already given them an eighty three.

394
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: It is sort of finished up what he started. So

395
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: who knows, regardless regardless of which side you sit on

396
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: on the political aisle, Obama is the new Reagan the

397
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: end you got any more? Uh. Some successes. You talked

398
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: about the tsunami in two thousand four, UM, and they

399
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: your pedophile scenario. It's pretty big, not yours thirty countries,

400
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty huge. UM. They helped identify and capture a

401
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: Serbian war criminal, Milan Lukic Luci Luke. I bet it's

402
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: lukach Uh in Argentina, coordinating between Argentina and Chile and

403
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: uh Bosnia Herzegovina. Yeah. Um, and let's see. Uh. They

404
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: they also had one, Um you remember the Madrid train bombings. Man,

405
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: I had forgotten about those ninety people. Um, and they

406
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: managed to catch at least one guy. They they found

407
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: twenty one guilty, but the interpoll called at least one

408
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: guy through coordination between Belgrade, Baghdad and Madrid offices. And

409
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: did you know the twenty one people who were found

410
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: guilty of that got to combine forty thousand years in prison. Really, yeah,

411
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: he'll probably never get out. No, no, I don't think

412
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna get out. And then grabs Her pointed this

413
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: one out. A response team obtained and disseminated fingerprints and

414
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: photographs of Abu Musab al al Zarkawi. Yeah, which sounds

415
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: kind of whatever. But then you're like, oh, yeah, how

416
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: would you get that guys? I guess yeah, I thought

417
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: the same thing, and then I thought twice. I was like, now,

418
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: I guess that is a pretty big deal. It's worth mentiny. Yeah. Sure,

419
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: I didn't find a lot of stuff though that searched

420
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: for more. Yeah, same here. And I think they're sort

421
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: of behind the scenes that they're like, we're not gonna

422
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: have any big arrests because we don't do that. Um,

423
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: but we're involved in a lot of those on the

424
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: back end on their website, UM, which is a pretty cool,

425
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: user friendly website. Agreed. It's like, here's a lot of

426
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: information that's very vague. Yeah, like we have two kinds

427
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: of response teams, criminal and disaster, and that's all we're

428
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna say about that. That kind of thing. And you know,

429
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear if anyone knows anymore about their controversies.

430
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious, does your dad work at Interpoll? We want

431
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: to know, Um, you got anything else? So if you

432
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: want to learn more about inter Poll and and read

433
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: a very glowing review of their life and work, very glossy,

434
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: whitewashed review, UM, you can type in interpol I N

435
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: T E R P O L. And did we say

436
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: where they got the name? I don't think we did.

437
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't think so. So with the advent of telegraph communications,

438
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: they're like man we need to uh, we need to

439
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: shorten this or else people aren't gonna waste the money

440
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: with Western Union talking about us, so they shorten their

441
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: name to Interpol. Instead of the longer I c OP.

442
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: They should just call i CP. Yeah, I COP. Yeah yeah, Well,

443
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: don't type I guess you could type I COP into

444
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: the search probably some mac Apple app now that allows

445
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: you to like make citizens arrest. Um, that's a good one. Thanks,

446
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: we should go make that. Um. Well, yeah, type I

447
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: COP in the search bar. How stuff works dot com?

448
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: And I said search bar, It just didn't you know it,

449
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: which means it's time for listener now, Josh, I'm gonna

450
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: call this uh uhm. A brewer for Anheuser Busch. Wow,

451
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: it's a big, big time one of the big daddies. Hey, guys,

452
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: just finished listening to the Beer podcast and felt compelled

453
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: to write. I used to live in Atlanta and missed

454
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: the Beer Senior, a dream of the brick store pub

455
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: every third night. I'm a beer geek homebrewer, and also

456
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: happened to now brew beer for Annheuser Busch UM also

457
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: now known as a b in Bev. As was mentioned

458
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: in the podcast, it's a pretty sweet gig that all

459
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: started for me by homebrewing in my Atlanta apartment closet. Crazy. UM.

460
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the podcast a lot, and you were pretty

461
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: spot on with the info and brewing one on one,

462
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: except for the mention of forced carbonation. UM, I have

463
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: worked because I think we said that that the big

464
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: breweries like forced carbonate everything not so UM. I've worked

465
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: a couple of crap berries aside from my current job

466
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: at Anheuser Busch, and I had never seen this before.

467
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I can't speak for the other big guys, but our

468
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: beer at ANH Anheuser Busch is made pretty much the

469
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: same way as other small craft beers. We just have

470
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: much larger equipment and more automation at Anheuser Busch. After

471
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: primary fermentation, our beers are loggered in a tank for

472
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: as long as twenty one days in the case of

473
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: the famous Budweiser. I've heard of that twenty one days. Um.

474
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: During the aging process, the beer is still fermating slightly

475
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: and builds up c O two in the tank. This

476
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: is how our beer is carbonated, all natural, so similar

477
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: to the priming homebrew and bottles and uh that's it,

478
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: he says, have a four twenty on me and I'll

479
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: pick up the tab next time in Atlanta. No, you

480
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: send us the money first, and then we'll go have

481
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: a four twenty and you That's what I say, David.

482
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: Thanks David. We appreciate in advance the money you'll send

483
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: us for our four twenties. Yes, and also I wanted

484
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: to point out when we were talking about our favorite beers,

485
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: I was sort of snobby with all my I p

486
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: a s and all that stuff. I do love all that,

487
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: but the triumvirate for me has been my staple since college,

488
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: which is Budweiser, Miller Highlight, and the Pats. I like, yeah,

489
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: I like all those. I'm fun with those, and I

490
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: don't drink those as much anymore because I love the

491
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: taste of like a delicious I p A. But I

492
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: certainly don't turn my nose up at a Budweiser. Okay, well,

493
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: then you're definitely not a beer snobble, No, not, you

494
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: like the drinking poop? Remember those kids in college? Did

495
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: you know anybody in college you could like recite what

496
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: it said on the neck label of the Budweiser bottle,

497
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: like what it says the writing. I didn't know anyone.

498
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: It's like, this is Budweiser, the finest beer ever produced

499
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: to Bud. I used to go to school with kids

500
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: who could recite that like by heart, and I always

501
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of sad. Yeah, I didn't even know.

502
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: I've never even read the bottle. It's easier if you

503
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: have like a beach towel because the lettering is way

504
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: bigger and see. Oh and I also got called out

505
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: by a fans for being a hipster for drinking HAPs

506
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, I've been drinking PBR since

507
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: like and it amused me when it became a hipster beer.

508
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: I was like, really, it blows my mind how much

509
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: we share ourselves and how much we have been the

510
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: four plus episodes, and there's so many people out there

511
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: who do not know us at all. So um, I

512
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: guess if you want to offer us money for beer,

513
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: that's cool, or you can just send us beer. We're

514
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,840
