We will start off the show 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: and just a couple of moments here with the completely appalling, 14 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: disgusting and mind blowing revelations about, let's be honest, one 15 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: of the most powerful democrats in the country and that 16 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: that you need to keep that headline, that tagline in mind. 17 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein was one of the most influential, most powerful 18 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: leftists in the United States of America, and in print 19 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: today there were multiple women accusing him of previous not 20 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: just sexual harassment, but sexual assault. And this is a 21 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: guy who you can't even tally up all the photos 22 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: with the Clintons, with the Obama's. Obama's daughter went to 23 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: work for him at his company. That's how connected Harvey 24 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: Weinstein was. Some of the the giants of Hollywood ohe 25 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: their career to this guy, And now turn around and say, oh, 26 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: I had no idea. But hold that for one moment, 27 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: just to give you a sense of where else we 28 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: are going here on the show, and then we'll dig 29 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: into this fetid, grotesque mess that is the Weinstein debacle 30 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: and all of the virtue signaling, self righteous, sanctimonious Democrats 31 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: who are in a panic now because it looks like 32 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: we can't just pretend that Republicans are waging some war 33 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: on women and Democrats are are all the all the 34 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: feminists are Democrats. Yeah, we'll return to that in a moment. 35 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: But later on in this hour we will look into 36 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: the latest on the Loss Vegas shooting. I have been 37 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: telling you for days that he's a psychopath, and if 38 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: there was a political motive, we would know, and so 39 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: far that seems to be the case. His motive was 40 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: mass murder and mayhem and evil, and he had no connection, 41 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: no basic human decency that would have in any normal 42 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: person said that this is the most heinous act, really imaginable. UH. 43 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: But there was a timeline that law enforcement gave us, 44 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: and as of last night, they changed it. And I 45 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: know that we want to focus on UH, narratives in 46 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the aftermath of a horrific murder like that that are positive. 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: We want to focus on on the heroes, which we 48 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: did here on the show, because there were heroes. We 49 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: want to focus on law enforcement and first responders and 50 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: those who saved lives, and we've done that, But we 51 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: also have to be honest about what an after action 52 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: report of that event was all about. What did law 53 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: enforcement do right? What did law enforcement do wrong? Or 54 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: could have done better? Because there's no law that would 55 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: have stopped that guy, but there might be different police 56 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: procedures that would limit at least the cash salties from 57 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: a mass casualty event like that. It's at least worth 58 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the discussion. We owe it to those who are lost 59 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: the family, those who have been lost their families, and 60 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: and all of us to make sure that we have 61 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: the best procedures in place. And I want to address 62 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: that issue the timeline, because it doesn't add up everybody 63 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: it's not a conspiracy. It's just all of a sudden 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: now we're told that police, uh were the the the well, 65 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the details. I'll get into the details in a bit, 66 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: because if I get into them now, I'm gonna I'm 67 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: gonna lead in that segment. So and I want you 68 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: to hear me out on that, and especially and I 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: know we have a lot of military listen to the show, 70 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: active and prior military, and also a lot of law enforcement. 71 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: Any of you who have tactical law enforcement experience, which 72 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: I do not, um, please do weigh in and tell 73 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: me what we may be missing here, because we were 74 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: told that the security guard at the casino was essentially 75 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: the reason for the stoppage of paddock mass murder spree 76 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: because he went into the hallway. But no, actually he 77 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: was shot before Paddock started shooting everybody outside, which means 78 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: that there were six minutes where you had somebody's shot 79 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: and the police weren't. You know, there was no additional 80 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: reinforcements or anything sent up to the area of that room. 81 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: And then they waited for about an hour after they 82 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: knew that they had a mass murderer up in this 83 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: hotel room, before they went into the room, and that's 84 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: that's a big change of the time I'll give you. 85 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 1: We'll get into those specifics coming up here. So based 86 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: on the press conference from last night, also some big 87 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: changes in the NFL feud over kneeling, protesting, all that stuff, 88 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: and some updates on Trump's back and forth with the Senate, 89 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: and if I have time as well, we'll get into 90 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the latest on the Islamic state. But now that I've 91 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: given you a sense of where we are going here 92 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: over the course of the show, this Weinstein thing is 93 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: uh is just grotesque, and there are no people here 94 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: who are now jumping on the bandwagon. There's all this pilot. 95 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the victims, because I understand why 96 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: victims won't come forward even after there's been because there's 97 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: a trauma attacher. But I'm talking about these these Hollywood 98 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: types that you know, for a couple of days, they 99 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: were all quiet, They're waiting to see. They were fence 100 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: sitting on this guy who is so powerful, so connected 101 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, revered in top elite Hollywood circles. Meryl 102 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: Street referred to him as a god. I think at 103 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the Oscars right or wherever in funn of like as 104 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: many people as humanly possible, and this loathsome predatory, disgusting 105 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: human being was able to go and do things for 106 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: decades that the non Harvey wine Steins of world. You 107 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: could even argue the non Bill Clinton's of the world too, 108 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: I would put that in there. But if you're not 109 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein and you do some of the things that 110 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: this guy did, any of the things that were alleged today, 111 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: you don't have to just worry about your career. You're 112 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: looking at prison time, serious prison time. And he was 113 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: not just uh able to go on about his assault 114 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: spree and all these just really horrific um machinations to 115 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: just prey on people, prey on their insecurities, prey on 116 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: their dreams. I mean, there's so much. I mean, he 117 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: was ripping, uh ripping away from people, from young women 118 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: in this in this industry, the media industry, which is 119 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: a terrible industry, I will have you all know in general, 120 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean you know, I all of us in it, 121 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: and and the news media is all it's not white 122 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: the way it is in Hollywood, but there's a fair 123 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: amount of stuff that goes on in the and the 124 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: news media side of things. That mirrors what happens in 125 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: the uh, what happens in the Hollywood side. But when 126 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: you when you look into this and you see what 127 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: he was able to do for so long he had enablers. 128 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: He have One component of this that I think never 129 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: gets enough attention is that he had an army of 130 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: lawyers at his back and call who would help him 131 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: silence women that he had allegedly sexually assaulted. What kind 132 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: of lawyer does that and thinks that he or she 133 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: is ethical? What kind of lawyer does that and thinks 134 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: that he or she should get a good night's sleep. 135 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Now I understand that Harvey Weinstein is the one that 136 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: is doing this stuff, but there are there's a lot 137 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: of blame, a lot of guilt to go around, and 138 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: this sudden desire to assert the uh, the moral outrage 139 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: of the elite left. And we're talking I mean, you know, 140 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: you got uh Jake Tapper over at CNN is is 141 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: going in on this both barrels. Uh. You've got actors 142 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: and actresses all over the place. And again, not talking 143 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: about victims, that's different. I'm talking to people that are 144 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: just like, oh, yeah, he's terrible. I knew he was terrible, 145 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: uh Tappers, just saying that this is gross no matter 146 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: who you are with politics, and in that he's right, 147 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: but you have all these people that are now Hillary 148 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Clinton finally released a statement. I'm not waiting for Hillary 149 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: Clinton statement on this. Hillary Clinton effectively wrote the book 150 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: on maligning and threatening women who have been sexually assaulted. 151 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was not just an enabler. She was complicit 152 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: while her husband was the President of the United States, 153 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: not just before while he was president, because it was 154 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: in her interest at the time. This moral rot this fetid, putred, filthy, 155 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: immoral approach to well everything. For something like Harvey Weinstein, 156 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: he's actually indicative of a much broader mindset within leftist 157 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: circles because they frown on traditional morality, they frown on 158 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: natural law, or they just object to these things entirely. 159 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: They make fun of people who are not who are 160 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: who are religious in the sense that they believe that 161 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: there are religious dogmas than they're there. There's religious orthodoxy, 162 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: religion is not. You know, I'm a Buddhist one week 163 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: and next week I'm a zen Master in the week 164 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: after that, um, you know, a Unitarian. They make fun 165 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: of those people, right, They think that that's all preposterous, 166 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: and then they wonder why you have so many incredibly 167 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: powerful democrats that are engaged in behavior that's you know, 168 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: this isn't Oh, you know, people make mistakes. That happens 169 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: when somebody transgresses. You know, I've seen stories about a 170 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: new powerful individuals and they ruined their marriage and they 171 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: ruined their career. But they made a mistake that that 172 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: a normal moral person can look at it and say, 173 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: all right, look, they gotta they gotta pay the price 174 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: for that. But it was a mistake. Well, we have 175 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: seen from these revelations about Weinstein, and it's I can't 176 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: right now on on the TV screens you just see 177 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: photo after photo of Winstein with Obama, wind Stein with Clinton, 178 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: wind Steine with Hillary, wind Steine with Bill. I mean 179 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: this guy was at the top of the heap, top 180 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: of the heap. I mean, you know, in terms of 181 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: media power, you know, behind like Oprah and Spielberg, I 182 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: mean you know, I mean he's in that same tier 183 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: so and it's and and in elite circles. Because he 184 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: was somebody who would option books and and green light 185 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: major film projects. He was a dream maker for people, 186 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: right He he had that power, and what is so 187 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: disgraceful about this is that he took that ability. He 188 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: took that power to literally make people's dreams come true, 189 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: to to option that book into a movie, to give 190 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: somebody that breakout role, to give somebody that or to 191 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: buy somebody's screenplay to change their life. He took that 192 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: and instead of cherishing it and rewarding people for their 193 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: labor and for their work and for their creativity and 194 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: their brilliance. I mean, of course some of that happened. 195 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: To write, there were movies that he made that are 196 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: good movies, But instead of just focusing on that, he 197 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: was using this time and time again over decades for evil. 198 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he was using his powers for evil. He 199 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: was abusing women, he was ruining lives, He was taking 200 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: away their peace of mind. Knowing the whole time that 201 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: the cowards at the New York Times, the cowards at 202 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: the non Fox cable news networks, the cowards at all 203 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: the major magazines, and across the Democrat Party and certainly 204 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, which he basically owned, weren't going to do 205 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: a thing about it. That they were going to hear 206 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: the rumors they were going to hear the stories. Some 207 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: of them are gonna know about it firsthand, and it 208 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: just wasn't in their interest. You cannot separate this Harvey 209 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: Weinstein story from the way the Democrat Party has been 210 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: doing business for a long time. Weird to think that 211 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: it's an accident. It's just a coincidence that the woman 212 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: who just asserted herself as the greatest breaker of glass 213 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: ceilings of all time, in a sense, the the ultimate 214 00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: realization of baby boomer feminism. Hillary Clinton only got to 215 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: where she is. Let's not forget about this, only got 216 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: to where she is for never mind the fact that 217 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: you know, she parlayed being First Lady, which is really 218 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: a ceremonial position, into a Senate seat which she had 219 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: no business but by maligning the accusers against her husband 220 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: while he was a sitting president the United States. Everybody, 221 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: this is, this is a reminder to all of us 222 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: of why when the Democrat media is, oh, Trump, You're 223 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: so terrible. If you've seen what he said about this, yeah, please, 224 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: you were all covering for Clinton for eight years and beyond, 225 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: and then you were covering for Hillary. You know, I 226 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: say Clinton, Bill Clinton, and then you're covering for Hillary Clinton. 227 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Who was covering for Bill Clinton. It's so immoral, and 228 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: it's to borrow a term, the left lights. It is 229 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: left lights. It is systemic. It is systematic, it is 230 00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: system wide. The rock has spread. This immorality to find 231 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: in the name of power is not limited to Weinstein 232 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: at the top of the Democrat Party, at the the 233 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: corridors of progressive power right now. It has become, whether 234 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: people want to admit it or not, a defining characteristic. 235 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: I'll give you some of the deal. Now, we've got 236 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: to get into some of the details of the Weinstein thing, 237 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: and then we will I'll talk to you about the 238 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: timeline in Las Vegas and then NFL And what do 239 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: you think about all this?

The corruption that has been exposed 243 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: in this whole Harvey Weinstein debacle is not just limited 244 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: to Hollywood or the Democrat Party, or the way that 245 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: the media covered for him, and for the way those 246 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: other institutions, uh, we're feeding at the Weinstein trough without 247 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: a second thought. It's also in the criminal justice system 248 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: my friends piece today in The New Yorker that is 249 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: absolutely damning of Weinstein and asserts multiple cases of sexual assault, 250 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: naming women who are claiming, going on the record that 251 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: allegedly Weinstein sexually assaulted them and the trauma that that 252 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: caused them for in some cases many many years afterwards, 253 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: and that the NYPD was called into this issue at 254 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: one point and now it's not an NYPD decision to 255 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: prosecute or not. Cyrus Vance, the district attorney was past 256 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: the information collected rightly by the NYPD as a result 257 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: of a sexual assault complaint a young actress.

But they turned 356 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: that into a whole campaign during the election binders full 357 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: of women, Like they were talking to idiots. And quite honestly, 358 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: if you thought that binders full of women was somehow 359 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: offensive or weird, that's on you, right, I mean not 360 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: you listening, but anyone across the country didn't figure that 361 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: one out on their own.

But I didn't really know. 418 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: Let me ask us how many of you would spend 419 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: a lot of time around somebody and have no inclination 420 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: about the fact that they were a serial sexual predator. 421 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: I know that I would know. I mean if I 422 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: really was close friends with somebody and this is how 423 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: they were operation. This was not a one off. This 424 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: is not one woman twenty years ago. This wasn't one 425 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: drunken night back in college or something. This is Weinstein's 426 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: way of doing business. You know, right before he was 427 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: going to the White House to hang out with Obama, 428 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: or right before he was throwing a multimillion dollar fundraiser 429 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: for Hillary Clinton, or right before he was raising countless 430 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: millions of dollars for Democrat candidates all across the country. 431 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: This is his m O. This was his method of operation. 432 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: And if you think that anyone didn't know about this, 433 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: these people who were telling you, oh, I didn't know, 434 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know, there's a show that I actually am 435 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: quite fond of.

It was known, it was known 444 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: that this guy. You know, she's just so you understand 445 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: that the context here, that is a a female actress 446 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: who is describing her interactions to try to get roles 447 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: with Harvey Weinstein. Now that's only a joke if it's 448 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: kind of known in the in the industry. You know, 449 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: if Harvey Weinstein is like a good family man who 450 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: would never do such a thing. Do you think that 451 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: joke goes over air?

Just like who was it 459 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: the with the Cosby thing? Remember? How did the Cosby 460 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: thing finally break?

And how 467 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: did it come out?

What does this have to 526 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: do with with Harvey Weinstein and what we're talking about 527 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: with him? I don't know. You just are you make 528 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: an amount of out of a longhil? It's just serious 529 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: to me. When the actresses were there in Hollywood there 530 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: that you were playing sounded like that. Sounded like that? Alright, Richard, Richard, 531 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: all right, I've given you a lot of time here 532 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: to run on about a lot of stuff. Have you 533 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: read the New Yorker article today? Do you know what 534 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: the allegations are? Okay, you don't. It's that he raped 535 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: three women? So the the the audio that I played 536 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: is not audio that deals specifically with that. But this 537 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: is a guy who has a long standard, a long 538 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: standing pattern of sexual abuse towards women. I don't think 539 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: are you about to tell me that like women in 540 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: Hollywood have some expectation of this or something, because I'm 541 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: gonna try to save you from saints and stuff on 542 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: air that I really think you don't want to say. 543 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: All Right, thank you, all right, Richard's gone. Richard's gone, 544 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: thank you. Richard. Just whoa, He's out. He has been 545 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: voted off the island right now. Uh, Felix in Pennsylvania, 546 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: hopefully not off the rails here. What's Felix? Okay? Cast 547 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: iron skillets, high, stake black and move. Uh okay, what's 548 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: on your mind? Felix? Okay? Actually, but I'm sorry I 549 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: called it very at the very beginning of your shell, 550 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: and I kind of wanted to give you a buck 551 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: smack or a buck tap about something you said Friday. 552 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: That's okay, okay. I think that you misconstrued something when 553 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: you said that the former administration members when they refer 554 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: to Isis as Isissel, they were being hoity toity, but 555 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: I believe they were actually being deliberately disrespectful of Israel 556 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: and also showing their pro Islamis tendencies. I've heard this before, 557 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: and I've never found the argument compelling at all. So, 558 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: but well, the means. I know, I know what I means, 559 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant right and right, 560 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: which which includes Israel as Palestine. The Levant is just 561 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: a reference to the to the region. It doesn't include 562 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: Israel as Palestine. When I looked it up, I thought 563 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: it basically no people people tried to I don't know 564 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: where this got traction, but trust me, I mean I 565 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: used to speak to friends inside the government about why 566 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,479 Speaker 1: they're using this, why they weren't, and they're like, yeah, 567 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: it's just weird, like Obama thinks it's more correct or whatever. 568 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: There was no there's there's, there's no there's. I know 569 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: people this kind of got traction on the internet. But 570 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: the LEVANT is like saying the Near East. It's not 571 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: specific to whether Israel exists or not. But I know 572 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: people run with that. But I appreciate the I appreciate 573 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: the effort. Felix, thank you for calling. I gotta run 574 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: into a break here and we'll come back. We'll take 575 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: calls Vegas. What happened with the timeline in Vegas. Let's 576 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: get to that and we'll be right back. This story 577 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: broke five days ago. She got what hundred thousand dollars 578 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: from him, So why we heard from her or the 579 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: Obamas used for Michelle Obama for Harvey Weinstein is a 580 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: wonderful human being and a good friend. I think Hillary 581 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: Clinton has earned the right to talk about what she 582 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: damned well pleases when she damned well pleases. She doesn't 583 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 1: know anybody anything. President Obama same thing. I am sure 584 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: if he has asked about it in a public form, 585 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 1: he will talk about it as well. But I am 586 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: just appalled. You know, the RNC chairwoman talked about hypocrisy. 587 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: Let's talk about hypocrisy, right, Democrats did not let I 588 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: had the cut of cut it, cut it. I'm not please, 589 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: good God, sorry. I had the unique not unique, the 590 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a polite word. I have 591 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 1: to have to clean up the clean up the language 592 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: for all on air here. I had the interesting experience 593 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: of being on Arara there more than once. I've it 594 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: is hard to find a person who would assert more 595 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: shameless talking points in favor of the Clinton's. I don't 596 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: think there is one like, there's no there's not even 597 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: the recognition of any external reality beyond whatever is beneficial 598 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton. It does it literally nothing else matters. 599 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: Nothing else in the world matters. What helps Hillary Clinton. 600 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: That's what that woman will go on TV and say. 601 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: And sure enough, she said that last night that Hillary 602 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: has no obligation. Apparently Hillary disagrees, because she released a 603 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: statement today saying she's appauled that every so so clearly 604 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: there is some because remember, it's not just like, oh, 605 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, like Hillary has to comment on everything. She 606 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: was taking big cash from Weinstein, he was throwing huge 607 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 1: fundraisers for her. Weinstein sexual predator Epstein, Bill Clinton Flow 608 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: used to fly in his private jet. Epstein convicted pedophile, 609 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, billionaire Epstein. Yeah, check it out. True story. 610 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: Media doesn't talk about it very much. That is am 611 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: I getting his name? Is his name and I get 612 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: the name wrong. I think it's Epstein. Yeah, I think 613 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: I'm right. Okay, tis giving me the Obviously we're talking 614 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: about convicted pedophile. You gotta get the name right. But 615 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the guy's name is is Epstein. We'll 616 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: check that in the break and I'll correct it if 617 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: if if I'm wrong. Um, but you know, I'm noticing 618 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: that there there's some stuff going on here, folks. This 619 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: is not nothing. This is big, big stuff. Uh at 620 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: the height of the power. Uh at in the corridors 621 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: of power the Democratic Party. Here you have just the 622 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: most depraved moral rot and people are still they were 623 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: still until today defending it. But today it's finally now 624 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,919 Speaker 1: they're all scurrying for cover. Um, we're gonna talk about 625 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. So let me know what you think happened there. 626 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: Call me back in a few You know, the timeline 627 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: associated with the original shot Mr Campbells has changed through 628 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: investigations what we have learned as Mr Campbells was encountered 629 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: by the suspect prior to his uh any to the 630 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: outside world. I have avoided being in any way conspiratorial 631 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: about the horrific shooting in Las Vegas a week ago. 632 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: I haven't been somebody who has gone forward with flimsy 633 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: theories about a second or third shooter. I haven't pretended, 634 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: as some others in the media clearly have. I haven't 635 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: pretended to have sources inside law enforcement who any minute 636 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: are going to be breaking what the motive is in 637 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: this shooting. This is the kind of thing that slightly 638 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: unscrupulous individuals will say because no one calls them out 639 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: on it, and it is fierce in the media world 640 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: to get on TV. So even in the aftermath of 641 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: a tragedy like this, there will be people who exaggerate 642 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: their access to law enforcement or draw attention to themselves 643 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: by pretending to have some bit of wisdom that they 644 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: can't yet share. But just let them tell everybody that 645 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 1: they will at some point before they go to commercial break. Uh. 646 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: This is a very serious incident that affects the national 647 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 1: conversation about guns. It is a tragedy for all Americans, 648 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: and we are deeply saddened for those who are lost 649 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: in their families. The truth matters in all of this, 650 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: and we should still want to get to the bottom 651 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: of everything that we can in the whole Las Vegas 652 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: math shooting tragedy. And that's why I last week even 653 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: was saying to you, what's with this timeline? It just 654 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: didn't make sense. Those of you who are listeners to 655 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: this show will recall that I said, we gotta look 656 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: at this timeline. Seventy five minutes went by before they 657 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: entered the shooters room from the first shots that was 658 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: out there, and you could say that this was just 659 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: false report ing, But then again, you can look into 660 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: what was said in some of the press conferences by 661 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: law enforcement, and it seems strange, to say the least. 662 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 1: His bravery um was amazing because he remained with our officers, 663 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: provided him a key pass to access the door, and 664 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: actually continued to help them clear rooms until our officer 665 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: demanded that he goes seek medical. So they had to 666 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: make a change in the timeline. But this is a 667 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: rather important change, isn't it. This is not minor, This 668 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: is not just something that you could skip over. This 669 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: is not a detail that could have gotten wrong. In 670 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 1: the early frenzied hours to get information out to the public, 671 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: we were told that the security guard in the hallway 672 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 1: was a hero because of the timeline. We were told 673 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 1: that he went up there after the shooting to help 674 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: find the shooter, and that police then came and because 675 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: the shooting had stopped. This was the story that the 676 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: security guard went up to find the source of the 677 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: gunfire after it happened, and he was wounded, and then 678 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: police came up, and then he stayed in place for 679 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: a while to help law enforcement before tending to the 680 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: gunshot wound that he had suffered. Now, why is that 681 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: a timeline that we have had to now a week 682 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: later revisit. I don't think that this is a conspiracy. 683 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any ill intent here. But 684 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: I do wonder if there was some decision in the 685 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: upper reaches of law enforcement involved with this issue to 686 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: change this a little bit, because when you have a 687 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: security guard shot in a casino in Las Vegas and 688 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,439 Speaker 1: six minutes go by without out anyone getting to the room, 689 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: without anyone, I mean, the casinos have security everywhere, this 690 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: is the Las Vegas Strip, everybody, and there was then 691 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: this long period of time where law enforcement was there 692 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: and they don't know why the shooting stopped. So these 693 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: are some very big unanswered questions in this whole process. 694 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: And you will note that I was saying there's something 695 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: wrong about this timeline over seventy minutes. Remember the initial 696 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: timeline was that security guard and the shooting starts. The 697 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: security guard goes to find where the source of the 698 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 1: shooting was. The shooting only went on for about nine minutes, 699 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: and the security goes to find him, he is shot, 700 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: and then police arrive on the scene. But because the 701 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: security guard was there, I think the assumption was, at 702 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: least that's the assumption we were supposed to make the 703 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: shooting stopped outside, the shooting stopped the window, and that's 704 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: why police were able to wait on the scene so 705 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 1: long before going in. Well, now we're told the shooting 706 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 1: was happening, and uh, the security guard had already been shot, 707 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: so there was that wasn't the cause of the stoppage 708 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: of the shooting. So that means that law enforcement were 709 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: on the scene for some period of time with this 710 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: maniac paddock in the room still able to fire out 711 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: the window and kill many more people, and they waited 712 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: for I don't know what the amount of time is 713 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, I'm wondering if we're gonna have 714 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: another timeline change. Is this is this a case? And look, 715 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 1: given the level of casualties here and given the seriousness 716 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: of this incident, I think we have to get right 717 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: down into the facts and and not say, Okay, well, 718 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: law enforcement just did their best and let's just leave 719 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: it at that. Because I think of the Pulse nightclub, 720 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 1: and law enforcement was on the scene at the Pulse 721 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: Nightclub and there was this whole storyline about how they 722 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: were worried about a bomb and that's why they didn't 723 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: go in while there was active shooting happening and people 724 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: were bleeding out inside. There was a SWAT team on 725 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,479 Speaker 1: the scene at the Pulse Nightclub and they didn't go in, 726 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: and there were still gunfire and there were people bleeding, 727 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: and we were told about the bomb, but oh, we 728 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: found out later on. The bomb didn't enter into the 729 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: equation until later on, and there was no actual bomb 730 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: threat to be concerned about, but they just were worried 731 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: that there was a bomb that might make the whole 732 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: place go up. That was rewriting of the situation. I 733 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: also will take you to the transcripts of the Pulse 734 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: Nightclub shooter and the FBI's initial decision to redact references 735 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: to isis and Allah and Islam in a way that 736 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 1: was clownish. It was absolutely ham fisted in just how stupid, 737 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: and I would argue irresponsible. It was the FBI did that. 738 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying all the FBI. I'm not saying every 739 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 1: field day in the FBI got to vote, but some 740 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: bureaucrats within the FBI, or more likely, and I think 741 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 1: this is the case at the top of what was 742 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice at the time, which would mean 743 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: Attorney General Loretta Lynch who maybe got off the phone 744 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: with Obama. I don't know, but somebody was told changed 745 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 1: the transcripts of the Pulse nightclub shooting. Somebody spread a 746 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: rumor to the press that there was a bomb threat inside, 747 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: and that's why law enforcement on the scene did not 748 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: go in right away while people were literally bleeding out 749 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: on the ground and there was still gunfire inside one guy. 750 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: How many how many? How many police officers with body 751 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: armor and long guns were on the scene. A bunch 752 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: didn't go in for quite a while, And there was 753 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: some criticism of this, and I understand that people don't 754 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,760 Speaker 1: want to be Monday morning quarterback quarterbacking law enforcement, especially 755 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: on life or death issues where law enforcement is taking 756 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: risks to their own lives. I understand this right I 757 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: have law enforcement in my family. I'm not discounting the 758 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: concerns of officer safety here, but if we're gonna do 759 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: an after action report on what happens in these situations, 760 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: we have to be absolutely honest about what was done 761 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: and what should be done differently in the future, so 762 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: that there are fewer people who lose their lives in 763 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,880 Speaker 1: these infidites, fewer families who are never going to be 764 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: the same because of a mass shooter incident, right, that's 765 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: the imperative here. There's a real obligation at work to 766 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: find the truth on this. And so now we have 767 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: additional details. And I had a feeling about this my 768 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: friends last week. Seven five minutes. That's too much time. 769 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: That's too long. They don't know why the shooting stopped, 770 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: and they waited an hour once they knew where the 771 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: shooter was to go in, which means that at any 772 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: point in time, he could have opened up again with 773 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: one of those long guns, sighted in with a tripod, 774 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: and killed people from a distance of hundreds of yards away. 775 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: This is something that needs more attention, my friends. We 776 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 1: need to know why all these people are and also 777 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 1: wrapped up in the motive. If you want to talk 778 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: about how to stop these situations or at least limit 779 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,480 Speaker 1: the casualties, you have to dig into what the response was. 780 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: And this response is looking increasingly like it was a 781 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: mistaken in terms of how quickly officers on the scene 782 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 1: went into that roman acted. That's and we can invite 783 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: on and I will now because I think we're opening 784 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: the u up and we should have this discussion. Invite 785 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: on an expert in Special Weapons and Tactics Squad or 786 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 1: e s U as we call it here in New 787 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: York City. But I don't see an explanation for why 788 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,839 Speaker 1: there was such a long delay. And I also can 789 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 1: see an explanation for why the initial timeline was wrong 790 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: and why a security guard who was there in that 791 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 1: hallway for an unrelated alarm was thereby Happenstance was being 792 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: hailed as a hero in a press conference but a 793 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: few days ago, and they were saying he was the 794 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,280 Speaker 1: reason the shooting stopped. We don't know why the shooting 795 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: stopped initially. And the security guard who went up into 796 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: that hallway had jes who's compos had no idea, had 797 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: no idea what was what was going on. He was 798 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: up there for an unrelated alarm. My friends, this is 799 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 1: this is a major change in this story, and it's important. 800 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,240 Speaker 1: I want to know how they got this wrong. Maybe 801 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: there's a completely logical explanation. Maybe it's just but government 802 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 1: telling us things that's not necessarily totally the way it 803 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: happened to cover themselves, especially after a tragedy. It's not unthinkable, 804 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 1: it's not unthinkable all If you have any thoughts on 805 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,879 Speaker 1: this Eight four four duck eight four to eight to five. 806 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: We're back in just a few Welcome back to him. 807 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: I just saw some breaking news up on the CNN 808 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: about incendiary rounds.

We'll reach out, We'll get people on 832 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: who have deep expertise in and swap this week. I 833 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 1: was going to have some people on last week, but 834 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,359 Speaker 1: as you can imagine, there were it was very tough 835 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 1: to coordinate schedules because there was such a high demand 836 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: for those with that specific background's and previous skill set. Uh. 837 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: Colby from North Carolina on w p T I thank 838 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: you for holding Colby, what's on your mind? Hey, no problem, 839 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the shooting. UM. I'm 840 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: the former US somni veteran. UH, and you know I 841 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: want to listen to the audio on this. UH honestly 842 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: sounds like these this guy was using a machine gun. UM, 843 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: more than likely a five five six round just for 844 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: the number of casualties he had and the low amount 845 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: of fatalities. So that's what I'm thinking. But before you 846 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 1: get off for the break there, you know, I think 847 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: you hit it right on the head. I think we're 848 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: being lied to. Do you look at Benghazi and when 849 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: that story first broke Uh, they said that it was 850 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: over a movie. You look at Pat Tillman. We were 851 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: lied to then, uh, you know, and that was supposed 852 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: to be he was killed charging up a hill. Uh. 853 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: And you know, we the truth finally comes out. Uh, 854 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: we may never know the truth about what happened in 855 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: that hotel room who else was in there because the 856 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: dead men don't talk. So I just wanted to point 857 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: that out, as I honestly think they had a machine gun. Uh, 858 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: and also possibly two different locations. And when you listen 859 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: to the video, so you do you think you can differentiate? 860 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,319 Speaker 1: And I asked this all in all honesty, Colby. I 861 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,359 Speaker 1: mean you you obviously have familiarity with automatic weapons, which 862 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 1: those who have served you, but very few outside of 863 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: that unless you're a uh you know, somebody that spends 864 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of time on gun rangers. You think you 865 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 1: could differentiate between bump stock fire and full auto. I 866 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: mean by year. I know you can differentiate by sight, 867 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: but by yes, sir, Uh, this guy had a accounted 868 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: for how long? This guy if you go to like 869 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: one of the videos that's got good audio. You're gonna 870 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna listen. This guy hammered down for ten sustained 871 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 1: seconds with without any little law in fire. He just 872 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,399 Speaker 1: held the trigger. And that's a lot of ammo when 873 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: you're when you're just holding down a trigger for ten seconds. 874 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 1: So and then there there wasn't an echo in the background, 875 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,360 Speaker 1: and that said there was an echo, It would have matched. 876 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: It sounded like there's a more gunfire coming off in 877 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: the distance, like a couple of blocks away. But I mean, 878 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if we ever really know the truth. 879 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: Did you have it? Let me ask you, did you 880 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 1: have any And I don't have one, so I'm not 881 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: expecting you're gonna say yes. But I'm just wondering, how 882 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 1: can they get the timeline? How how can they get 883 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: the timeline wrong? I mean, this is the the law 884 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 1: enforcement officers involved this in Las Vegas, the ones who 885 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,400 Speaker 1: are speaking publicly to the media, know that everything is 886 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 1: going to be very scrutinized, and I think there's been 887 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: a general sense of Okay, let's let them get the 888 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: facts out, let's not push too hard until they have them. 889 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 1: But when they tell us stuff that we expected to 890 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: be accurate, right, and especially things that are verifiable. They 891 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: don't know the motive. Okay, they don't know the motive, 892 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: but whether the security guard was shot before all the gunfire, 893 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 1: they can know that, and they had to. How could 894 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 1: they not have known that, right, I mean within within 895 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: forty eight hours? Certainly? How could this took a week? 896 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: Why why they get that wrong? Like being Ghazi? Just 897 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: like Pat Kilman. I mean, I don't know why they 898 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: want to lie about these things. We'll just be honest 899 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,359 Speaker 1: with the American people. That's all we want. I just 900 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: want you to be honest. I think there are a 901 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,320 Speaker 1: lot of people that are that are very concerned that 902 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 1: the timeline you know, that that the response was not 903 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: wrap it enough, and given the huge loss of life, 904 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,840 Speaker 1: I think there were concerns about what that timeline of 905 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 1: response looked like initially. That's that's my inclination. I can't 906 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 1: assert that for fact. There might be a perfectly reasonable 907 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: explanation for how they got that wrong, but I am 908 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: not aware of it right now. And the pulse explanation 909 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: for why they were so slow to respond and not 910 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,399 Speaker 1: to respond so slow to go in there. I never 911 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 1: bought that and that everyone just kind of wanted that 912 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 1: to go away, and that was uh, they needed to 913 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: reevaluate the operating procedures for how they deal with the 914 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 1: an active shooter situation in the world in that in 915 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: that police department. But anyway, Uh, Colby, thank you very 916 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 1: much for calling in from North Carolina. Thank you for 917 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 1: your service as well. Yeah, we'll see, um Amy, let's 918 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 1: get somebody on. I know we're gonna have that guy 919 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,319 Speaker 1: on from SQUAT from last week. Let's let's reach out 920 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: to him and bring him on and see if you 921 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: know what what is what is a reasonable expectation of response? 922 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I know what the NYPD response times were 923 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,280 Speaker 1: for a felony and progress in New York. It's fast. 924 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 1: You all in and you say that there's you know 925 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: something like, I mean, an active shooter is gonna be 926 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: as much you're gonna get as quicker response to that 927 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: as I think you can get for absolutely anything. Uh, 928 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 1: the NYPD response time is very rapid, and so the 929 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: chain of events here. As you have an individual security 930 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 1: guard shot in the hallway, I mean he's probably got 931 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 1: I don't know what comms device he has. He's definitely 932 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,359 Speaker 1: got a cell phone. On him though he's not walking, 933 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: probably has a I don't know if it's a walkie 934 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: talkie or some kind of a push to talk or something. 935 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 1: But and there's gunfire in the hallway, and then there's 936 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 1: six minutes where nothing happens. I understand, you know, people 937 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,600 Speaker 1: have gotta you know, they gotta get there and everything. 938 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: But then the problem, the part of this that's most 939 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: problematic is there's all this gunfire. People are dying, and 940 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 1: the police arrive on the scene and the gunfire stops, 941 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,959 Speaker 1: but they don't know if it's gonna start up again, 942 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: and they wait for an hour that I just need 943 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: an explanation for that. I I may be missing something, 944 00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: but I don't have an answer, and I want one, 945 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: because the response to an incident like this matters. We've 946 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: got David in Texas listening on the Blaze radio network. 947 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 1: Hey Dave, Hey, fuck are you doing. I'm good? I 948 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 1: see here. You're a law enforcement officer, it says up 949 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 1: on my screen. Yes sir, yes, sir. Just wanting to 950 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: give you a little inside from a from a cost perspective. 951 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: Please please, I was asking for it to tell me 952 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 1: all right, uh, well, the reaction that for for law 953 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: enforcement lines. Uh is a is a reflection of probably 954 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,000 Speaker 1: the training and the amount of time and budget that 955 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 1: the department pours into active shooter training with. Judging by 956 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 1: how I've been in law enforcement for talk to me 957 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 1: two years now, former military, I've gotten maybe two training 958 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: sessions on active shooter. One was in the academy and 959 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,400 Speaker 1: one was just for the department during a couple hours 960 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: of active shooter training. But nothing. Nothing, and as in 961 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: depth I think what is needed for something. I was 962 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,200 Speaker 1: like blas Vegas scale, Okay, but I'm I think that 963 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: there were So let's just with the new timeline, David 964 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: and and and help me work through this a little bit. 965 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 1: You've got the security guard is shot. Nine six minutes later, 966 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: this maniac paddock is unleashing lethal volleys that are killing 967 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: scores of people and wounding many hundreds of people, and 968 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 1: the firing after nine minutes stops. Law enforcement then is 969 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: on scene, and I don't know I could check to 970 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 1: see what the specifics are of how quickly they got 971 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 1: on scene, but I'm assuming it was relatively rapid. But 972 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: from whenever they got there until when they finally went 973 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: into the room, my understanding is it was an hour, 974 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,800 Speaker 1: and at any point during that hour, Paddock unless Paddock 975 00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: killed himself as soon as law enforcement showed up, which 976 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's asserting it that happened, although that 977 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: could have happened. They maybe they heard one shot and thought, okay, 978 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: he shot himself. That they're worried about bombs. I mean, 979 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: there are explanations here that are possible. But at any 980 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,040 Speaker 1: point in that hour they're waiting, and I think it 981 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 1: was E. S U or swat whatever they call it 982 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas on the scene, Patta could have opened 983 00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 1: up with another volley and killed another ten, fifteen, who 984 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: knows how many people? Right, So how can they be 985 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 1: waiting out in the hallway knowing this guy's in there 986 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 1: and at any point in time he could open up 987 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: again and start shooting people out on the strip. Well 988 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:36,640 Speaker 1: from a from a from a patrol officers perspective, UM, 989 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,880 Speaker 1: a lot of these larger cities. I don't know how 990 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 1: Las Vegas is, but I know I uh and and 991 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: touch this from a larger departments, UH don't carry long 992 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: rifles for patrol officers, so literally they're all all they're 993 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 1: down to is a handgun. Maybe a couple rounds and 994 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 1: a shotgun, and if the security knowing if the security 995 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: guard got shot um prior to their arrival. I'm sure 996 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: the security guard had a radio some way to let 997 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: the security know, Hey, I've been hit. Uh. So there's 998 01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 1: already going in there, say the security guard shot. Uh 999 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 1: this dude Dure's up at X level of the building. 1000 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: So they're gonna go up there and try to take 1001 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 1: a look. Uh and probably as soon as they looked 1002 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,919 Speaker 1: up there with two hundred rounds I'm understanding it's about 1003 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: two hundred round that he I'm loaded on this security officer. 1004 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna see all the bullet holes and the damage, 1005 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 1: and they're gonna immediately back off, hold the perimeter until 1006 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 1: they can get uh more specialized units there because they're 1007 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,440 Speaker 1: already overwhelmed with firepower on their end. So it does 1008 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 1: no good for law enforcement to try to barge in 1009 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: there when they're outgunned. So Okay, it's a critical part 1010 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 1: of this that is finding out at what point Swat 1011 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: was on scene and whether they believe that because if 1012 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Squatt is sitting there for I don't know, thirty forty minutes, 1013 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 1: not knowing if there could be more shooting, going on. 1014 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a procedural issue that needs to be 1015 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 1: discussed and addressed. Here, here's what happens when when when 1016 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Swash shows up. In my experience, they show up and 1017 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 1: they they formed, they immediately form a plan. They immediately 1018 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 1: get their little uh, their little area going, and they 1019 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,120 Speaker 1: immediately pull up schematics of the building and they start 1020 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: forming a plan, the plan of attack, how they're going 1021 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: to go in there. That that that takes a maybe 1022 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 1: about ten minutes, depending on how well they know it. Um, 1023 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: knowing how Las Vegas is, I would not doubt that 1024 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: they have plans to go inside any of those hotels. Um. 1025 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: What with that said, um, it should be well, I'm 1026 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna I'm asking I want to ask you this in 1027 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 1: all and in all honestly, David, and I'm not trying 1028 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,120 Speaker 1: to lead you over the other None of this strikes you. 1029 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: The timeline change that doesn't strike you as little as 1030 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:05,280 Speaker 1: a little strange. It does strike me as a little strange. Um, 1031 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: because I'm I'm wondering, what when that security guard actually 1032 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 1: got shot? Well, i mean they say no pm and 1033 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 1: ten o six pm is when the or ten o 1034 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 1: nine pm or something like that is when they yeah, 1035 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 1: and and and that's that's that's that's where I'm I'm 1036 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: having confusion at when with the new timeline. But I'm 1037 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,000 Speaker 1: just trying to kind of analyze it from a from 1038 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: a from a police officer perspective on how I would 1039 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: have reacted to. Oh no, look man, we appreciate it. 1040 01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to leverage your expertise here and draw 1041 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 1: as much out of you as I can. You know, 1042 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: I've I've never carried a carried the gun for law 1043 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 1: enforcement and actually been a guy on on the beat 1044 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,919 Speaker 1: or on the streets. So this is something that uh, 1045 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you can go ahead and just understandably. Like so, say 1046 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 1: the patrol, say the officers get up there to the 1047 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: room and they see all that bullet damage, and they 1048 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: immediately call for s R T or swat team or 1049 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,160 Speaker 1: a specialized team to come up there with bigger, better guns. 1050 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: They're looking at all that damage. They don't know how 1051 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 1: many shooters are in that room. That's a fair that's 1052 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: a fair point. They could think that there's they could 1053 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 1: think that there's five guys in there all with you know, 1054 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: souped up a r S. And uh yeah, I mean 1055 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:19,400 Speaker 1: that's a fair point. Absolutely absolutely. So you see the 1056 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 1: two hundred around the damage, and anybody that's seen that 1057 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 1: kind of damage from from bullets, like you go to 1058 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 1: a gun range and like an outdoor gun range and 1059 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 1: you can see how damage the back end is from 1060 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 1: from all the bullets from people shooting it. That's probably 1061 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: what it looked like on the wall, and it just 1062 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: looked completely pizza h if that makes sense. Yeah, alright, No, Look, David, 1063 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 1: this has been a very helpful call man. Thank you 1064 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: very much, and thank you for what you do, and 1065 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 1: we appreciate it. You know, look there I'm asking the question. 1066 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 1: I know, people I'm asking questions, you know, like you know, 1067 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: and then they go off on you know, was this 1068 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 1: a case of like aliens landing or Manchurian Canadas. I'm 1069 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 1: not trying to do that. I'm just there are some 1070 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 1: holes here. There's something that's a little strange, and I 1071 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 1: think what we're getting closer to is a realization that 1072 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: the officers, the first officers on the scene, may have 1073 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: been and they were outgune, so they were in a 1074 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 1: holding pattern and the decision may have been if he's 1075 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 1: not shooting, you know, we're gonna hold until we've got 1076 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 1: enough firepower to go into their room. I mean, this 1077 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 1: is a a an acceptable and reasonable explanation for events. 1078 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: I just want to know, And it doesn't help when 1079 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: they get the wrong story out there for a week, 1080 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: I would not be asking. Remember last week, I said, 1081 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 1: we gotta look at the timeline because already I could 1082 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: tell something was off. It's just too long. It didn't 1083 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,840 Speaker 1: make sense. I was talking about here in the show. 1084 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 1: I said, over seventy five minutes. Come on, now, we're 1085 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: getting a little bit more of a of a backstory 1086 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 1: too it. So we'll see. Anyway, I think we've we've 1087 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: done our we've done our point on this, or we've 1088 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 1: done our part on this today. So I do want 1089 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 1: to move on. There's there's a big, a big break 1090 01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 1: in the there's a total switch of gear. Is my friends, 1091 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: just get ready for this is what we call a 1092 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 1: hard turn in the media business. So we're gonna go 1093 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,960 Speaker 1: away from the uh whole situation Vegas for a little while. 1094 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 1: Here we're gonna talk about something else. Next hour, we 1095 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 1: are joined by Ned Ryan to talk politics. We've also 1096 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 1: got Victor Davis Hanson from National Review just to shed 1097 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: wisdom on things because that's what vd H does. We 1098 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 1: have an expert on healthcare to talk to us a 1099 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 1: little bit about what yet another iteration of healthcare reform 1100 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 1: could look like. So I've got a lot of different 1101 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 1: voices weighing in in the next hour. We'll get there, 1102 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 1: but let's time. I want to talk to you about 1103 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:38,240 Speaker 1: the NFL first. Oh. Also sorry, as an aside here, 1104 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm very aware of the horrific wildfires in California. I 1105 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 1: do not know much about wildfires as subject matter. I've 1106 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: been researching it and we're trying to get an expert 1107 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 1: to join us tomorrow to talk about what the h 1108 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 1: what what can be done? And it just just to 1109 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 1: bring us up to speed on on what is just 1110 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 1: uh looks apocalyptic when you see the photos and the 1111 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,680 Speaker 1: video of what's going on. It's one of the worst 1112 01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: wildfires right now in the history of the state of California. 1113 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 1: So we are following that. We're up on that story 1114 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: and as soon as I either have a deep dive 1115 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,880 Speaker 1: worth of information on that to give you and or 1116 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,240 Speaker 1: an expert guest, and I'm hoping it will be tomorrow, 1117 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 1: we will get into that in detail. Um, but come 1118 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: up next here it's a big, a big break in 1119 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 1: the whole NFL kneeling situation for those of you who 1120 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: are following that discussion and that debate pretty closely. So 1121 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 1: we'll get to that and more right after the break. 1122 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Stay with me. I don't understand the NFL owners. I 1123 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,840 Speaker 1: mean here, we're working as somebody walks across here with 1124 01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: a sign right now protesting. Excuse me, you're gonna let 1125 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: them do that? No? No, they own that theater at 1126 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,840 Speaker 1: the time, they own that stage. Are you going to 1127 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 1: allow protests out there? They don't allow players to wear 1128 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: different signs on their shoes. They don't you know what 1129 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: that's because they've been to old too. But no one 1130 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: told Colin Kapinet prior to that that they had to. 1131 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: We just assumed it was the right thing to do. 1132 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 1: It's always been the right thing to do to live 1133 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 1: in this country, Thank the good Lord. We need more 1134 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,440 Speaker 1: respect for the flag. I'm not condemning anybody. You're criticizing anybody. 1135 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Respect the game, play the game when you want to protest, 1136 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: protests when the game's over, protests, whatever other way you 1137 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,440 Speaker 1: want to. Football has been so good to these guys. 1138 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 1: It's been so good to me, would it be your 1139 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: policy that either you stand for the national anthem or 1140 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 1: you don't play. Yes, I don't care who you are, 1141 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,480 Speaker 1: how much money you make. If you don't respect to 1142 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,400 Speaker 1: our country, and then you shouldn't be in this country 1143 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: playing football. Go to another country and play football. If 1144 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,439 Speaker 1: you had to go somewhere else and try to play 1145 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 1: the sport, you wouldn't have a job. So that that 1146 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: would be my take. If you can't respect the flag 1147 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: in the country, then you don't respect what this is 1148 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: all about. So I would say, how do you know 1149 01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 1: football legends there Joe Namath and uh Mike Ditka respect 1150 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: actively on those anthem protests, making it pretty clear where 1151 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: they stand on this, and I should know. We've got 1152 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 1: some news breaking just earlier today that the NFL Commissioner, 1153 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell has written a letter to all thirty two 1154 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 1: league owners regarding the protests, and he has said that 1155 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,639 Speaker 1: he hopes everyone or that rather everyone should stand for 1156 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 1: the national anthem. Uh. Now, a lot of people are 1157 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 1: immediately stating that this is Trump bending the NFL to 1158 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: his will. I think it's just the NFL responding to 1159 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: the will of the American people. Here. It is people 1160 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:45,800 Speaker 1: sometimes forget about this, or rather media commentators forget about this, 1161 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: not the American people. That sports is entertainment people like 1162 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,639 Speaker 1: or don't like, and that is that is all that there, 1163 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 1: That is what it is, right. I mean, if people 1164 01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 1: don't want to watch, don't want to watch the people 1165 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: don't like you, that don't like you, that no one 1166 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,160 Speaker 1: has a right to play in the NFL. You know, 1167 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 1: you haven't earned the earned the right to be paid 1168 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,800 Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars if people don't want to 1169 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: watch you and pay all that money to see you 1170 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 1: play football, right or any sport for that matter, you know, 1171 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean this is all market based. There there's a 1172 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: reason that there aren't a ton of professional water polo 1173 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: players swimming around in the equivalent of I don't know, 1174 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,920 Speaker 1: like an underwater Lamborghini. But you know what I'm saying, 1175 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 1: like that, there's a reason these guys don't make so 1176 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: much money because people don't want to watch that sport. 1177 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 1: If people don't want to watch football for whatever reason, 1178 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 1: that's it right that that that's the market speaking. This 1179 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 1: is We can politicize this all day and talk about 1180 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 1: the First Amendment or not and all that stuff, but 1181 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 1: the ratings I think are this. You saw this with 1182 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:50,280 Speaker 1: the Jamal what's your last name, Jamal Hill suspension say 1183 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 1: something really nasty about President Trump. They're gonna get annoyed 1184 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 1: to you go after the revenue source for ESPN or 1185 01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,640 Speaker 1: for a team, and you're gonna get suspended. Right. The 1186 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:04,200 Speaker 1: Dollar speaks here very loudly, and I think that's probably 1187 01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:09,479 Speaker 1: what's pushing Goodell here to say that he's he wants 1188 01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,839 Speaker 1: everybody standing. They want every every team, they want everybody 1189 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 1: standing for that anthem. And I and you know, if 1190 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: they can tell you that you can't do a certain 1191 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: dance in the end zone without getting fined, they can 1192 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,680 Speaker 1: find you for doing something during the anthem. I this 1193 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,879 Speaker 1: is I hate to break it to people, that's just reality. 1194 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 1: This is the way that employment works. But I was 1195 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,639 Speaker 1: talking to Tyrone and the breakup, and he has an 1196 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: interesting additional insight into why Goodell maybe singing this tune now, Tyrone, 1197 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,679 Speaker 1: what's going on with this? Well, it's kind of why 1198 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,280 Speaker 1: they got there at this point and not sooner the 1199 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: digital rights deal, because right now you still need TV 1200 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,960 Speaker 1: or direct TV. You know, you need cable to watch games, 1201 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,799 Speaker 1: and if you go, if you cut the chord. There's ways, 1202 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: but they're not perfect to watch all the games. A 1203 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: digital rights deals coming and there's a bunch of people 1204 01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: competing because everybody's cutting the cord, etcetera, etcetera, Google Hulu, 1205 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 1: we we know all the players. That's going to be 1206 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: an additional revenue stream for the league that the players 1207 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 1: technically don't have a right to. And they were going 1208 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 1: to use this in bargaining because they need some goodwill 1209 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: with the players because of the CTE issue possible mostly 1210 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,080 Speaker 1: that they were going to use this as a way 1211 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: to negotiate everybody standing up. And the way they were 1212 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,800 Speaker 1: looking at it was, at the time initially there was 1213 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:25,599 Speaker 1: only six players, and they thought it would go back 1214 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 1: to being six players. Let me let me just help 1215 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 1: unpack all the knowledge. You're you're you're dropping here for 1216 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: a second, UM versus ct for those listening, I know, 1217 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, and I but ct IS is effectively brain damage, 1218 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 1: right for brain damage damage from the from football, right, 1219 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,840 Speaker 1: So that looms over all this, and then you're saying 1220 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: that the NFL players, based on previous contracts, don't have 1221 01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 1: they necessarily do not have access to the digital rights, 1222 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 1: and so the league is trying to use this issue 1223 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,800 Speaker 1: as they're basically saying, stand and maybe you'll get a 1224 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:54,639 Speaker 1: piece of those digital rights. Is that the way? That 1225 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 1: was the plan, But now it's been accelerated, and now 1226 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 1: they'll have one less bargaining chip because the players could say, 1227 01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 1: you know what, we want that money, we want that 1228 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 1: new money. Because the players are with the TV money 1229 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:11,640 Speaker 1: they get with the digital rules, it was whatever, and 1230 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,680 Speaker 1: now they may and they thought, well, we can get 1231 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 1: the players to accept less money because everything the NFL does, 1232 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,720 Speaker 1: everything they do, is about money. That's just what they are. 1233 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,120 Speaker 1: And that's part of the reason why they missed the 1234 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: mark here because think about your life. Whenever you do 1235 01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,879 Speaker 1: something just for money, how often has it been profitable 1236 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 1: in the long run. And the NFL's moves have been 1237 01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,040 Speaker 1: just about money. Thursday Night Football should not happen because 1238 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 1: of players safety. They have it, why solely because of money. 1239 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 1: Fans didn't ask for it. They do things solely for money, 1240 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and they were going to use this as leverage to 1241 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 1: get them to stand and say, hey, we'll give you 1242 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 1: a bone on this money. And what kind of I 1243 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: mean we're talking about NFL rights? Didn't it was? It 1244 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,720 Speaker 1: was it NFL that ESPN like wildly overpaid for the 1245 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 1: TV rights, right, and that's one of the reasons they've had. 1246 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 1: They've had to fire a lot of journalists everything. This 1247 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 1: is billions of dollars. This is billions of dollars. And 1248 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 1: now with the and the reason that they that people 1249 01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 1: aren't worried about rating so much anymore is because it's 1250 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 1: about how much will somebody pay? And they know if 1251 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:09,720 Speaker 1: ESPN won't pay, Amazon might, or Hulu might, or Netflix might, 1252 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 1: or Twitter might or Facebook mine and they all have money. 1253 01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 1: So if ESPN doesn't, they do. And still, even in 1254 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 1: their diminished capacity, having all those eyeballs from the NFL 1255 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 1: all on Facebook watching, that's a lot of people. Thank 1256 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,679 Speaker 1: you so much, syron Um. People. People pay a lot 1257 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,639 Speaker 1: of money in the media business just for relevance. This 1258 01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,599 Speaker 1: is why this is maybe a little bit of inside 1259 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 1: Baseball but has nothing to do with sports as stud media. 1260 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: You had the acquisition of the Huffington Post by A. O. 1261 01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 1: L years ago, which has now also been acquired, right, 1262 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,640 Speaker 1: But it's because A. O. L Is like, well, we 1263 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 1: got all this money, but we got to be more 1264 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 1: than just the thing that that people basically are paying 1265 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,360 Speaker 1: for they don't have to pay for us. They could 1266 01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,639 Speaker 1: have internet and email access, right, you've got mail like that. 1267 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 1: That's people who are still a lot of people paying 1268 01:13:58,040 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen bucks a month for a O well, 1269 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean millions of people as of at least a 1270 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,920 Speaker 1: few years ago. So they acquired the Hunting Post for 1271 01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,800 Speaker 1: I think it was like two hundred fifty three hundred 1272 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 1: million dollars. It was something like that. And Honey Post 1273 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: has just just as far as I know, just lose 1274 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 1: his money every year. It just loses money all the time. 1275 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 1: So they paid a whole lot of money for an 1276 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:16,800 Speaker 1: asset that just loses money. Why do you do that? 1277 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:21,599 Speaker 1: Because it can give the broader enterprise a sense of relevance. 1278 01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 1: And whether it's a good decision or I don't know, 1279 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,720 Speaker 1: but anyway, fastening stuff in the NFL TI thank you 1280 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, goodell um. You know no matter what though, 1281 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, tie has given us the background of what's 1282 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: really going on here with the money and the contracts. 1283 01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 1: The political perception of this, and you're all quite aware 1284 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:41,040 Speaker 1: of this political perception is Trump is won when you've 1285 01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 1: got when you've got the owner I mean or the 1286 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,559 Speaker 1: Commissioner the NFL, saying he wants everybody to stand. That 1287 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,680 Speaker 1: is a different a different perspective, a different tune he 1288 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 1: is singing. And what No matter what you think of 1289 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 1: Trump and this whole thing, the perception is that he 1290 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:59,759 Speaker 1: has trumped the NFL on the issue of the anthem 1291 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 1: and the lag. We have an all star lineup of 1292 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 1: some great and insightful guests coming up here in just 1293 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 1: a moment, including Victor Davis, Hansen and Ned Ryan. This 1294 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,599 Speaker 1: is the way, this is what they think about President 1295 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Trump behind closed doors. He happened to tell the New 1296 01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,519 Speaker 1: York Times exactly what I thought. It's a boy the 1297 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 1: way Phil Rucker, yes say in the Washington Post, the 1298 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,920 Speaker 1: buried lead was he said, there's only two or three 1299 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 1: senators on Capitol Hill that have President Trump's back when 1300 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,320 Speaker 1: you want to talk about why there's no repairing on 1301 01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,120 Speaker 1: the replace, why there's no tax cut, while there's no 1302 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 1: tax reform, while there's no infrastructure bill. You saw it 1303 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: right there. Corker, McConnell and Corker and the entire click 1304 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 1: establishment globalist click on Capitol Hill have to go. If 1305 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Bob Corker has any honor, any decency he should resign immediately. 1306 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,760 Speaker 1: Senator Corker is an absolute disgrace. Well, that's a that's 1307 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 1: a lot. We've got a lot to get through here. 1308 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 1: We've got our friend ned Ryan on the line to 1309 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: talk to us about all of these different stories swirling together. 1310 01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,719 Speaker 1: He is the founder and CEO of amer A Majority 1311 01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:05,880 Speaker 1: Action and former presidential writer for George W. Bush. Ned. 1312 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Great to have you back. Good to be back with 1313 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 1: the Trump Tillerson thing. Is this nothing or do you 1314 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,599 Speaker 1: think Tillerson is on the way out? What's going on here? 1315 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,640 Speaker 1: I think that Tellerson will be there as long as 1316 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: he wants to be. Um. I think that there are 1317 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:24,719 Speaker 1: some people stirring the pot based off their own personal, uh, 1318 01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, agendas. But I think Tillerson will be there 1319 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: as long as he wants to be. And quite frankly, 1320 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,800 Speaker 1: I see the media trying to start the pot on this, 1321 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,040 Speaker 1: but I know that there's some others that are doing 1322 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,639 Speaker 1: their best to see uh for their own personal agendas, 1323 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,759 Speaker 1: wanting to see something happened. But I don't see Tillerson 1324 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,200 Speaker 1: leaving anytime sim Okay, So that one looks like we 1325 01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 1: don't have to worry too much about it. But the 1326 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 1: the back and forth with Corker and Trump. I see 1327 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,640 Speaker 1: he calls him. What's he calling? Little little little l 1328 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,519 Speaker 1: I D d yeh Little little Bob Corker, Little Bob Corker. 1329 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 1: I said last night on h L Line, I was like, 1330 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Corker is begging for a nickname, and sure enough he's 1331 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 1: got one now. But is this is this indicative of 1332 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 1: a bigger problem that Trump's gonna have with the Senate 1333 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 1: or is the Senate going to realize that they're all 1334 01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna get tossed out of office if they don't work 1335 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: with Trump and gets something done. I I don't know 1336 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,160 Speaker 1: if they have really understood or realized yet that if 1337 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,920 Speaker 1: they don't get something done. Obviously, I mean you played 1338 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,679 Speaker 1: Bannon's class clip earlier. These guys are in a world 1339 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: a hurt. Next year, those that are on the ballot 1340 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: are going to be in a lot of trouble because 1341 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: the American people are just put out with this. And 1342 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,720 Speaker 1: the thing that I've said but repeatedly on radio and 1343 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,719 Speaker 1: TV is this, this isn't a Trump agenda, This isn't 1344 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: necessarily Republican agenda. This is just common sense. This is 1345 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,120 Speaker 1: a common sense agenda. People want Obamacare to be dealt with, 1346 01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 1: They want tax reform, they want all of these things 1347 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,440 Speaker 1: to happen. And these guys Bannon's right, this is intentional inability. 1348 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 1: It's one of those things where they're like, well, we'll 1349 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 1: kind of look like we're doing something, but there's no 1350 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 1: real drive. I've been in d C almost twenty years. 1351 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 1: I know what it looks like when leadership wants something 1352 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,200 Speaker 1: to happen. My dad was in the House for ten years. 1353 01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,640 Speaker 1: When they want something to happen, people can any you know, 1354 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,960 Speaker 1: committee ships are on the line, their fundraising abilities on 1355 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 1: the line, what committees they are assigned to. I mean, 1356 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,720 Speaker 1: this is none of that has happened, especially on the 1357 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: Senate side, but even on the House side, there's no 1358 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,839 Speaker 1: real effort to push any of this agenda. And it's intentional. 1359 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,840 Speaker 1: What does the Senate leadership want? And I mean, what 1360 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: if Mitch McConnell, if we could catch him in a 1361 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,599 Speaker 1: moment of off off Mike, off camera, just complete honesty 1362 01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: for what he thinks is supposed to happen. Is it 1363 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 1: status quo? I mean, does he just do you think 1364 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 1: object to the whole notion of Trump shaking things up 1365 01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,760 Speaker 1: and changing the way DC operates. I think he does. 1366 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 1: I think honestly, if you were to have an honest conversation, 1367 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,360 Speaker 1: they're quite contents. The swamp to them is a very 1368 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,759 Speaker 1: nice hot tub. They feel very good where they're at. 1369 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 1: Um Trump coming in has, you know, is really upsetting 1370 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 1: the status quote not only for the establishment Republicans, but 1371 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 1: let's not forget there is an entire infrastructure behind these guys, 1372 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: corrupt consultants, special interest. They don't want to see some 1373 01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: of this stuff happen because it upsets the apple cards 1374 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 1: they are in control of. And I've I've said it 1375 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 1: on TV, Miss McColl would rather reign in hell than 1376 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,720 Speaker 1: serve in heaven. And he's making it very clear he 1377 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: has no intention of being of moving really of his 1378 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: own volition. And so what you see Bannon doing with 1379 01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: some of these Senate races, and he's gonna do some 1380 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 1: goobernatorial as well, is really saying, Okay, if you're not 1381 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 1: going to move, then there will be consequences for it. 1382 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 1: And and the end goal I know with Bannon is 1383 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 1: to make sure Miss McConnell and his leadership current leadership 1384 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,599 Speaker 1: team are not in control come February January. Well let's 1385 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,960 Speaker 1: let's talk for a moment about what Bannon said. Uh, 1386 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 1: last night on Sean Hannity Show, he stated very openly 1387 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,760 Speaker 1: that he thinks that every Republican should be primary in 1388 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,680 Speaker 1: the Senate except for Ted Cruz, or at least he's 1389 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 1: willing to do that. Ted Cruiz was the only one 1390 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:47,600 Speaker 1: that I can think of, or that I that I 1391 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 1: remember him saying, not Ted Cruiz, everybody else. Now, maybe 1392 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,560 Speaker 1: he's just trying to get senators attention. That seems like 1393 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 1: a massive effort, But Bannon is a man of large 1394 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: ambition and sense of mission. What do you what do 1395 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,240 Speaker 1: you make of those comments? Oh, this is not a joke, 1396 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,120 Speaker 1: This is not this is not showmanship. I know for 1397 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:08,960 Speaker 1: a fact having been in some of the meetings, this 1398 01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: is a very legitimate effort. He will have probably sixteen 1399 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 1: to nineteen credible Senate and gubernatorial candidates that he'll be behind. 1400 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,360 Speaker 1: Some of them obviously gonna be primary challengers to senators, 1401 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 1: and then some are getting lined up to take on 1402 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 1: who he thinks are very vulnerable Democrats senator sitting in 1403 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 1: red state. So no, I mean, Bandon's not talking, he's 1404 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 1: not blowing smokes. I know for a fact, this will 1405 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 1: be well funded. I've seen some of the candidates. I 1406 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: know some of the candidates. Uh, these are good, strong, 1407 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,160 Speaker 1: credible candidates who are anti establishment, and many of them 1408 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:41,559 Speaker 1: who have said they're not going to vote for Ms 1409 01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,320 Speaker 1: McConnell's leader. So you so this is a real movie, 1410 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 1: you're telling me this is this is not just bluster 1411 01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,360 Speaker 1: from Bannon too to push it, which, by the way, 1412 01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I think you could argue that that serves a purpose 1413 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 1: in and of itself. But you're saying, oh, no, no, no, 1414 01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:59,719 Speaker 1: there are actual steps being taken right now to push 1415 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 1: some of these cronious DC swamp gel senators out of office. 1416 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,479 Speaker 1: Absolutely have been in some of the meetings. This is 1417 01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 1: a real effort. It will be well funded, and I 1418 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: gotta tell you two bucks, some of these candidates, the 1419 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:15,760 Speaker 1: establishment is going to be hard pressed to not say, 1420 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: you know what, these are good candidates, and they are. 1421 01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 1: They're good, solid, you know, attractive, very well spoken candidates 1422 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: who know what they need to do, who have a 1423 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 1: very specific idea about what they're going to do when 1424 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,920 Speaker 1: they come to d C and they are being asked, 1425 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 1: will you vote for Mitch McConnell's leader, Yes or no? 1426 01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,800 Speaker 1: And it's not just a mild note. It is a 1427 01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: very adamant no, because a lot of these guys and 1428 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: gals are realizing the real problem that we're experiencing right 1429 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: now in d C. If you were to just say 1430 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:48,600 Speaker 1: one spot with his trouble, it's Senate leadership, and and 1431 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 1: Bannon is very much focused on this. This is not 1432 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: blowing smoke. This is very real. It will be well funded, 1433 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 1: There will be fireworks. I also get the sense that 1434 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: with trumps signing or or the the expected signing of 1435 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 1: an executive order on healthcare coming up this week, actually 1436 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,680 Speaker 1: we've got some sound on that. And I'll also be 1437 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,360 Speaker 1: signing something probably this week which is going to go 1438 01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,200 Speaker 1: a long way to take care of many of the 1439 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,720 Speaker 1: people that have been so badly hurt on healthcare, and 1440 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 1: they'll be able to buy, they'll be able to cross 1441 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,560 Speaker 1: state lines, and they will get great competitive healthcare, and 1442 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,240 Speaker 1: it will cost the United States nothing. But with Congress 1443 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 1: the way it is, I decided to take it upon myself. 1444 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 1: So we'll be announcing that soon as far as the 1445 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 1: signing is concerned, but it's largely worked out a very uh. 1446 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,280 Speaker 1: It's very simple in one way, but very intricate in 1447 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,679 Speaker 1: another but it will be great, great healthcare for many 1448 01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 1: many people. Uh. Ned. It seems to me like Trump 1449 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 1: is now taking the position I'm doing everything that I 1450 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: literally can for my agenda on healthcare specifically but in general. 1451 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 1: And look at the Senate when you want to know 1452 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,479 Speaker 1: why stuff isn't go getting done. I feel like this 1453 01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: is now of the paradigm. This is the narrative going 1454 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:06,640 Speaker 1: into the mid terms, already being established before us. And 1455 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: he's right, I mean, and people are starting to realize 1456 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,280 Speaker 1: the real problem has been the Senate. I would argue 1457 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:12,920 Speaker 1: some some of the problems have been with the House, 1458 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 1: but you can really look in lay a lot of 1459 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:16,680 Speaker 1: blame at the Senate. But you know, Trump wants to 1460 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 1: get really serious about healthcare reform. He removes the exemption 1461 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 1: for Congress and their staff to be exempt from Obamacare. 1462 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 1: He could do that through an executive order, say you're 1463 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,679 Speaker 1: no longer going to be considered this arbitrary small business. 1464 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,439 Speaker 1: You are all going into the Obamacare exchanges. That would 1465 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 1: bring action to Congress. Book Ned Ryan is founder and 1466 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,120 Speaker 1: CEO of American Majority Action, and to check out his 1467 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: latest columns with the Hill, is that the best place 1468 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:45,160 Speaker 1: to find united Yeah, yeah, the Hills, the Hill dot Com. 1469 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 1: I write some opinion pieces there and every now and 1470 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,719 Speaker 1: then for Fox News Opinion, but every week every Sunday 1471 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: for The Hill. All right, great, thank you so much. 1472 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,880 Speaker 1: That great to have you on. Yeah, they're they're they're 1473 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,240 Speaker 1: getting ready for a showdown here within the GOP. I 1474 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 1: think that there was a time, even a few months ago, 1475 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: when the idea was, well, if if it doesn't get 1476 01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,800 Speaker 1: done in Trump's you know, first year or two, Trump 1477 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 1: is going to be blamed, or at least some people 1478 01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 1: seem to think that that was the way this would 1479 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,439 Speaker 1: play out. But now, in fact, what we see is 1480 01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 1: that the Senate seems more likely, the Republican controlled Senate 1481 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 1: seems more likely to get the blame. We'll be following 1482 01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:27,040 Speaker 1: this more going forward. All right, welcome back everyone. Healthcare 1483 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,240 Speaker 1: still hasn't been fixed, in case you U didn't pick 1484 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,639 Speaker 1: up on that already. Of the Republicans can't figure out 1485 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,640 Speaker 1: how to repeal and replace, They can't figure out how 1486 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,920 Speaker 1: to adjust and tweak. They can't even figure out what 1487 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,560 Speaker 1: they want to figure out. So what should they do? 1488 01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,439 Speaker 1: What should the government What would be the best for 1489 01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 1: all of us? When it comes to healthcare in the 1490 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 1: era of Obamacare. To answer that question for us, we've 1491 01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:52,120 Speaker 1: got Dr Scott Atlas on the line. He is a 1492 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 1: senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He's got an 1493 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,320 Speaker 1: op ed in the Wall Street Journal, the healthcare reform 1494 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 1: that has not been tried? Dr at that's great to 1495 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 1: have you pleasure to be here, all right? What is 1496 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 1: this healthcare reform that has not been tried? Well? The 1497 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,439 Speaker 1: point is the focus has been entirely wrong, whether from 1498 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 1: the Obamacare supporters side or the Republican proposal side, the 1499 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:20,200 Speaker 1: focus has been on just simply increasing the number of 1500 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:25,440 Speaker 1: people with health insurance, whether through regulations or direct subsidies 1501 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,280 Speaker 1: or tax credits, and the and the Republican side. The 1502 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:32,519 Speaker 1: reality is the effect of reforms and a more direct 1503 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 1: path to getting people access to the world's best healthcare, 1504 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,200 Speaker 1: which we have here, is to bring down the prices 1505 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:43,439 Speaker 1: of care instead of the prices of or subsidizing the 1506 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 1: prices of premiums. Because insurance premiums are secondary. About eight 1507 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 1: of an insurance premium roughly is due to the medical 1508 01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,960 Speaker 1: care costs. And my point is if you bring down 1509 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 1: the price of medical care. Everything else follows. Premiums come down, 1510 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,720 Speaker 1: government spenditures for healthcare comes down. But the key is 1511 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 1: how do you bring down the price of care? The 1512 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,519 Speaker 1: answer is not the way other countries with nationalized single 1513 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,360 Speaker 1: payer systems do it, because the only way that those 1514 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 1: governments hold down costs of care is to restrict health 1515 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 1: care access, healthcare usage, delays, and drugs, technology, etcetera. Yes, 1516 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,680 Speaker 1: we have another proven way to bring down costs, and 1517 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,960 Speaker 1: we've done in every other good or service in America. 1518 01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 1: And that basically is the fundamental of empowering and equipping 1519 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:36,760 Speaker 1: consumers to consider prices and giving them something to gain 1520 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 1: by spending less money, increasing the supply of medical care, 1521 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:45,439 Speaker 1: and stimulating competition. And that is how prices come down 1522 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 1: while quality actually goes up. Speaking to Dr Scott Atlas, 1523 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,600 Speaker 1: he's a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. So, 1524 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 1: Dr Atlas, how give you some of the ways that 1525 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 1: how could the Republican Congress actually do this? What would 1526 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 1: that look like mechanically from a legislative point of view? 1527 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 1: What could they do? Sure? Well, the first part equipping 1528 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:09,680 Speaker 1: consumers to actually care about the price. The way it 1529 01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 1: works now with our insurance as it is is that 1530 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: it's basically minimizing out of pocket costs, and therefore when 1531 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 1: no one knows or or it pays, they think someone 1532 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 1: else is paying. Of course, there's no incentive to even 1533 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,040 Speaker 1: care what a cost. That's the cycle they're in right now. 1534 01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 1: So the effective reform would be first and foremost broaden 1535 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the availability of higher deductible insurance plans with that are 1536 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:37,680 Speaker 1: cheaper with fewer mandated requirements, as opposed to what Obamacare did, 1537 01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:41,559 Speaker 1: which has massively increased those requirements, and make insurance much 1538 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 1: more expensive and broader. I want to have the deductibles 1539 01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 1: higher so that people actually pay and consider price, and 1540 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:54,360 Speaker 1: simultaneously make health savings accounts not only eligible for everyone, 1541 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:59,160 Speaker 1: including people on Medicare, but much much larger and liberalizing 1542 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 1: their uses. And with that comes a desire to save money. 1543 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,799 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the whole point about looking shopping 1544 01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: around for something that concerning prices, that you actually you 1545 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 1: keep the money if you don't spend it on things 1546 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,679 Speaker 1: you don't want. And and that, of course is something 1547 01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,760 Speaker 1: that many people argue is not possible with health care, 1548 01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 1: but the reality is it's only the minimum five or 1549 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 1: six percent of healthcare is emergency. No one's saying you're 1550 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,680 Speaker 1: gonna shop around when you're having crushing chest pain and 1551 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:32,640 Speaker 1: an ambulance. But the reality is, you know, healthcare expenditures 1552 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 1: are outpatient. We can shop around and seek value with that, 1553 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,679 Speaker 1: and when you have control of the money, you would 1554 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: seek value. And that we know from the data when 1555 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:46,960 Speaker 1: that's done, even in healthcare, makes prices come down. The 1556 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:51,160 Speaker 1: second part I was gonna say, the second part that's 1557 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,760 Speaker 1: necessary is to increase the supply of medical care and 1558 01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,360 Speaker 1: how do we do that well? In primary care? We 1559 01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 1: know there's a shortage of doctors that people talk about. 1560 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,240 Speaker 1: The answer is that you don't need an m D 1561 01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 1: degree to monitor someone's blood pressure, to look at somebody 1562 01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,400 Speaker 1: with the flu and these other things. And I'm in 1563 01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,840 Speaker 1: m D. So I feel comfortable in saying that the 1564 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 1: scope of practice limits on nurse practitioners and physician assistance 1565 01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 1: needs to be relaxed so that routine outpatient primary care 1566 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: can be done. And why because it's cheaper when those 1567 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,639 Speaker 1: people do it. And and actually the studies have shown 1568 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,080 Speaker 1: that there's there's no problem with the outcomes of patients 1569 01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:35,400 Speaker 1: and there's actually high satisfaction. Similarly, specialist care. Most sick 1570 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:37,560 Speaker 1: patients are taken care of by specialists, as we know, 1571 01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:40,639 Speaker 1: almost all really. But the reality is that the medical 1572 01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:45,800 Speaker 1: societies have artificially restricted the number of residency spots and 1573 01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 1: a number of training spots, and that restricts competition, that 1574 01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 1: sort of protectionist, anti consumer behavior. We also know medical 1575 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 1: school graduation numbers have stagnated for four decades. Meantime, we 1576 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:01,040 Speaker 1: need more doctors, So this kind of stuff needs to 1577 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: be exposed at least, and you know, there'd be some 1578 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 1: pressure really to open up that is anyone Is anyone 1579 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,320 Speaker 1: pushing for any of this document? You know, we've been 1580 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: looking at various iterations of a a not even a 1581 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,800 Speaker 1: repeal in a place of Obamacare, just changes to it 1582 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 1: by the Republican majority Congress. Is there anyone out there 1583 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,360 Speaker 1: in the legislative side of things that is actually trying 1584 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 1: to do some of the stuff that you're talking about 1585 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:26,080 Speaker 1: to us right now? Or is this is this a 1586 01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:29,560 Speaker 1: radical concept now because Americans just have all agreed on 1587 01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,639 Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle more or less somebody else 1588 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: has to pay for their health care. Yeah, well this 1589 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 1: is sort of a radical concept. Although the Republican proposals 1590 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,680 Speaker 1: have uh focused on increasing, for instance, the use and 1591 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,360 Speaker 1: the size of health savings account for instance, but that's 1592 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,640 Speaker 1: not enough. I mean, the focus really has been on 1593 01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:52,800 Speaker 1: getting people ensured any way possible, and that really is 1594 01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,920 Speaker 1: a secondary problem. In fact, it's it's it's harmful to 1595 01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:00,560 Speaker 1: target that because what you do by doing that is 1596 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 1: subsidized and incentivize these bloated health insurance uh you know 1597 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,560 Speaker 1: a packages that that are have the wrong incentives. This 1598 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:12,679 Speaker 1: is all about changing the incentives so that people actually 1599 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 1: care what the value and price of their health care 1600 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 1: is and that the way to do that really is 1601 01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: through the competition for consumers money. We know. That's why 1602 01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,240 Speaker 1: the supercomputer in your pocket that you call a cell 1603 01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 1: phone is hundreds of dollars and not tens of thousands, 1604 01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 1: even though it's so powerful. It's because of competition for 1605 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 1: for buyers. And that's exactly the kind of thing that 1606 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 1: should be done with healthcare. We have to get rid 1607 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 1: of this hyper regulated environment that is counterproductive and harmful 1608 01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:48,479 Speaker 1: and actually secondarily raises the price of medical care. And 1609 01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: there's also a third component besides the supply and the 1610 01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,480 Speaker 1: vehicles to for consumers, and that is the right incentives 1611 01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,880 Speaker 1: have to be built into the tax code. We know 1612 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 1: the biggest mistake of all all of the U. S 1613 01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:05,560 Speaker 1: tax code really is probably this unlimited income exclusion or 1614 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 1: deduction for health healthcare expenses, particularly through your employer. All 1615 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 1: that does is incentivized people to spend more and more 1616 01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:19,160 Speaker 1: on healthcare for insurance products that mask the price of healthcare. 1617 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 1: In fact, it's the only good or service, if you 1618 01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,920 Speaker 1: think about it, that you use without even knowing what 1619 01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 1: it costs. You get the bill later. And why is 1620 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,839 Speaker 1: there Because no one cares because the insurance covers essentially everything. 1621 01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,040 Speaker 1: So the tax code has to be changed. And that 1622 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,519 Speaker 1: kind of overlaps with the tax reforms that are being 1623 01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 1: spoken about today. That's Dr Scott at Lass, everybody, Senior 1624 01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 1: Fellow at Hoover Institution at Stanford University up in the 1625 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:44,679 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. The health reform that hasn't been tried. 1626 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,919 Speaker 1: Here's a hint involves the free market and actual prices. 1627 01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 1: All right, Dr Atlas, thank you so much. Pleasure to 1628 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,200 Speaker 1: be here. Team. We are going to roll into a 1629 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:56,680 Speaker 1: quick break. Will be right back. All right, team, welcome back. 1630 01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:00,679 Speaker 1: We've been talking about everything going on. We the left 1631 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: and it's a virtue signaling. This week and quite honestly, 1632 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,280 Speaker 1: every week, we've got a piece from Victor Davis Hanson 1633 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,240 Speaker 1: that I want to talk to you about now. He's 1634 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 1: a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, an American military historian, 1635 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 1: and a columnist at National Review. His latest is a 1636 01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:20,679 Speaker 1: vicious virtue. When tragedy strikes, you probably deserve it if 1637 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,719 Speaker 1: your conservative is up on National review dot com. Victor, 1638 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,600 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us, Thank you for 1639 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: having me tell us about your piece, this vicious virtue 1640 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 1: that if you bad things happen in your conservative, you 1641 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,200 Speaker 1: deserve it. Yeah. I think it's because the left looks 1642 01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 1: at everything in a cosmic fashion that any means necessary 1643 01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,720 Speaker 1: or okay to achieve these exalted aims or agendas, which 1644 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,280 Speaker 1: are mostly on a quality result. So if individual things 1645 01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,519 Speaker 1: happen to people who are not on that agenda, whether 1646 01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 1: it's Steve Scalise being shot or the people who were 1647 01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:56,880 Speaker 1: Conservative maybe at a country Western concert in Las Vegas. 1648 01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:00,639 Speaker 1: Are people in a red state at Herma and Hurricane 1649 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: or Irma and Harvey, then as you saw with the 1650 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 1: CBS Legal counsel or your joy read or people on 1651 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:09,640 Speaker 1: the internet would just get on and say, you know, 1652 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 1: these people really deserve what they got because they're not 1653 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:15,400 Speaker 1: part of the progressive project, and therefore they have to 1654 01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 1: sort of pay the price. I also think that there's 1655 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 1: much more acceptance of this victor on on the left, 1656 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:26,320 Speaker 1: including from from journalists, than many people would readily admit, 1657 01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:30,120 Speaker 1: meaning that even those who don't necessarily engage in this 1658 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:34,760 Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know, vicious virtue signaling, if you will, 1659 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,639 Speaker 1: where they say, oh, well, these these bad conservatives, something 1660 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 1: terrible happen to them, They deserve it. That it's not 1661 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 1: shouted down, that it doesn't seem that there's much self 1662 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,760 Speaker 1: policing of this on the left, not at all. You're 1663 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 1: absolutely right. I mean, we're having a horrendous series of 1664 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:54,800 Speaker 1: fires and NAPA, very left wing boutique um place in California. 1665 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,479 Speaker 1: But I haven't heard any conservative express anything other than 1666 01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 1: lamentation and sympathy and anger that that maybe this happened, 1667 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:05,599 Speaker 1: but that was not true with the It wasn't true 1668 01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 1: at all with the hurricanes that hit Florida and Texas. 1669 01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,280 Speaker 1: I think that's because concervatives look at individuals rather than 1670 01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:17,440 Speaker 1: global causes and collectives. They seem to they're more traditional, 1671 01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:20,000 Speaker 1: and I think what's happened to the left. They've given 1672 01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:23,600 Speaker 1: up the individual morality for the global agenda. But it 1673 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,720 Speaker 1: also works both ways. If you're if you're on the left, 1674 01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:29,240 Speaker 1: and you do bad things or bad things happened to you, 1675 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,639 Speaker 1: then there's a lot of contextualization and sympathy. We see 1676 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,960 Speaker 1: that in case of particulars like Harvey Weinstein, and people 1677 01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:40,320 Speaker 1: knew that for thirty years, but they were willing to 1678 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:42,960 Speaker 1: overlook that because of the global agenda, that he was 1679 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,160 Speaker 1: a man of the left in the way they Yeah, 1680 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 1: this is something I've been talking about on the show, Victor. 1681 01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,800 Speaker 1: I I don't anyone coming out now as part of 1682 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:54,360 Speaker 1: the Pylon I mean Hillary Clinton statement about how she's appalled. Yeah, 1683 01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:57,719 Speaker 1: there there are allegations today in print that he's raped people. 1684 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 1: Any normal human being would be appalled by this. That's 1685 01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:04,559 Speaker 1: not bravery. And I would argue that they waited until 1686 01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:08,599 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein had a whole lot less sway and power 1687 01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 1: within the culture before they decided that they would feed 1688 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: him to the line, so to speak. Well, he knew 1689 01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:14,920 Speaker 1: that too, and that's where the first thing he said 1690 01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:16,560 Speaker 1: was that he was taking on the n r A, 1691 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:18,680 Speaker 1: or he was donating to a woman's group, sort of 1692 01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:22,040 Speaker 1: analogous to what Larry Summer said when he got on 1693 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,559 Speaker 1: the wrong side of the thought police by at Harvard, 1694 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:25,800 Speaker 1: when he said the first thing he was going to 1695 01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 1: do was in Dalla fifty million dollar feminist Scholarship fund 1696 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,360 Speaker 1: endowment at Harvard. And I think that's what left people, 1697 01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,360 Speaker 1: left wing people do. They take out an indemnity policy. 1698 01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,519 Speaker 1: They think that if they're loudly progressive, then that ensures 1699 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:43,559 Speaker 1: them from imperfections in their character, because the global cause 1700 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:47,240 Speaker 1: is always more important than the individual details or circumstances. Well, 1701 01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:49,519 Speaker 1: it seems to me as well that it's almost like 1702 01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:52,920 Speaker 1: on the left, you can purchase an indulgence, right if 1703 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:55,760 Speaker 1: you and I see this with very good exactly what 1704 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:59,080 Speaker 1: it is. It's the medieval penance are indulgences, and people 1705 01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 1: know it. So it enormous pressure on people in Hollywood 1706 01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 1: or entertainment or in the academic world. They think, Wow, 1707 01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:07,719 Speaker 1: I may or not, I may or may not believe 1708 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,599 Speaker 1: in the progressive cause, but I might as well buy 1709 01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,759 Speaker 1: an insurance policy because over my thirty year career something's 1710 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,479 Speaker 1: going to happen badly and I'll need an insurance or 1711 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,800 Speaker 1: maybe something will happen good if I told the lines. 1712 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 1: And you're also seeing this with Weinstein and others when 1713 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:25,479 Speaker 1: it comes to donations to districts or district attorneys as 1714 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:27,880 Speaker 1: a means of buying a little a little leverage or 1715 01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,519 Speaker 1: a little get out of jail free car to the 1716 01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:31,840 Speaker 1: future as well. I think the amount of corruption on 1717 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 1: that is really staggering. It is. That was a message 1718 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,600 Speaker 1: if you're a young director, you can get away for 1719 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:41,799 Speaker 1: thirty years by mouthing the right platitude. Victor Davis Hansen 1720 01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:45,639 Speaker 1: is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution American military historian. 1721 01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,320 Speaker 1: I am, by the way, a big fan of your 1722 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:52,519 Speaker 1: books on ancient Greece.

I'm gonna close TODAXT. 1733 01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I know we've we've it's been a lot of pretty 1734 01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 1: heavy subjects for the most part today. I mean, you know, 1735 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 1: I try to work in a bit of levity for 1736 01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,040 Speaker 1: those of you who spend the full three hours with me. 1737 01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't want this to feel like you're, you know, 1738 01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:38,559 Speaker 1: in a you know, intense place psychologically for the whole time. 1739 01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 1: So I'll talk to you about cell phones in a 1740 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,839 Speaker 1: few minutes. But I think it's interesting. There's some science, 1741 01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:49,200 Speaker 1: there's some social discussion, and um maybe I'll try to 1742 01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,320 Speaker 1: make fun of myself at some point or something like that. 1743 01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 1: So we will get to that in just a moment. 1744 01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 1: Eight four four five eight four four nine, buck, if 1745 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,519 Speaker 1: you want to squeeze in a call before we close 1746 01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,439 Speaker 1: up shop, we'll be back in just a few If 1747 01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:06,240 Speaker 1: I were trying to write a snappy magazine essay headline, 1748 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,200 Speaker 1: it would be for the next segments weapons of mass 1749 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:14,560 Speaker 1: distraction or something like that. If I were doing a 1750 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,280 Speaker 1: local news broadcast to get your attention, i'd say, is 1751 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:23,639 Speaker 1: your smartphone making you dumber? News at eleven And it's 1752 01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:27,759 Speaker 1: a worthwhile question because there's new research, and I believe 1753 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to want to take credit for them. It's 1754 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,720 Speaker 1: not true. I believe I alluded to this recently, that 1755 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 1: your smartphone has some big downsides to it, and the 1756 01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:42,080 Speaker 1: idea that smartphones could actually be making us a little 1757 01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:44,640 Speaker 1: dumber is something that we need to pay attention to. 1758 01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:47,080 Speaker 1: So here's what we know. This is a piece in 1759 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:52,320 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal that builds on this this concept. Uh. 1760 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:58,560 Speaker 1: The title is how Smartphones Hijack Our minds. Research suggests 1761 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 1: that as the brain grows dependent on phone technology, the 1762 01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:06,000 Speaker 1: intellect weakens. I've been thinking this for a while, that 1763 01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,800 Speaker 1: we now have this conception that we all carry so 1764 01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:13,759 Speaker 1: much information on our phone that knowledge isn't as useful 1765 01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:17,839 Speaker 1: as it used to be because everyone has infinite knowledge 1766 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,879 Speaker 1: at the push of a button. But for the purposes 1767 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:26,719 Speaker 1: of cognition and wisdom and uh complex analysis, you can't 1768 01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:29,200 Speaker 1: just be looking at life as an endless series of 1769 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:34,160 Speaker 1: Wikipedia searches. Knowing stuff matters because what you know affects 1770 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 1: everything else that you learn. Right, there's more complexity that 1771 01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 1: all of us have with information and facts than just 1772 01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:45,200 Speaker 1: being able to pull them up. You know, it's more 1773 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:47,680 Speaker 1: than just access to the fact when you need it. 1774 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:52,120 Speaker 1: Knowing it affects the way that other information is stored 1775 01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:54,120 Speaker 1: in your brain, and it affects the way that you 1776 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:59,360 Speaker 1: approach complicated thoughts and analysis. But before I get too 1777 01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 1: deep into that side of this discussion, let me first 1778 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,040 Speaker 1: start with another part of it, which has to do 1779 01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:09,960 Speaker 1: with the weapons of weapons of mass distraction component, Because 1780 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,280 Speaker 1: this is very real and I have this in my 1781 01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:15,439 Speaker 1: day to day life. I've been making a real effort 1782 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,599 Speaker 1: when I'm with Molly not to be on my phone. 1783 01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,320 Speaker 1: And that doesn't just mean when I'm talking to her, 1784 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't have my phone out looking at it, because 1785 01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:28,360 Speaker 1: that's rude. And it doesn't even just mean that when 1786 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,599 Speaker 1: I'm at the dinner table, and I have some close 1787 01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:36,439 Speaker 1: friends that do this and it really bothers me. They 1788 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: put their phone out on the table, so like I 1789 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,320 Speaker 1: get to stare at the computer on the table and 1790 01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 1: it'll vibrate and it'll flash with a new message, and 1791 01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:47,880 Speaker 1: no no phone in the pocket, or if you're worried 1792 01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:51,679 Speaker 1: about the radiation phone on the chair. You know, next 1793 01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,120 Speaker 1: to you or just find something else. But phone up 1794 01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:59,000 Speaker 1: on the table is distracting and it's rude and people 1795 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:01,519 Speaker 1: need to not do it. I'm gonna draw a hard 1796 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:03,720 Speaker 1: line on this, and people need to not put their 1797 01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:05,960 Speaker 1: phones on the table. I mean, if you're at a 1798 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 1: work meeting and okay, fine, but if you are in 1799 01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:11,160 Speaker 1: any kind of a social setting where people are trying 1800 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,400 Speaker 1: to enjoy themselves and have a relaxing time, no phones 1801 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,880 Speaker 1: on the table. I'm gonna go even crazier here. I 1802 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 1: wish that there were restaurants that had a no cell 1803 01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:22,920 Speaker 1: phone policy. Now that doesn't mean if your phone rings, 1804 01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 1: and it obviously should be on vibrate because we are 1805 01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,200 Speaker 1: not savages in the restaurant, right, Like your phone should 1806 01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:34,360 Speaker 1: be on vibrate, but you can step outside. It's like 1807 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 1: the quiet car on the train, but a restaurant, but 1808 01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 1: you can talk. You just can't be in your cell phone. Um, 1809 01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,160 Speaker 1: that would be great. I would be all about that restaurant. 1810 01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:47,200 Speaker 1: I would support it as much as possible. This is 1811 01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:51,240 Speaker 1: etiquette that is changing, and our dependency on these phones 1812 01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:54,160 Speaker 1: is growing all the time. There are part of our 1813 01:42:54,200 --> 01:42:56,599 Speaker 1: business and our day to day lives in a way 1814 01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:00,479 Speaker 1: that far outpaces what the cell phone of even fifteen 1815 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:02,920 Speaker 1: years ago was. Right. It used to be that, you know, 1816 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 1: someone could call you, but unless you were like a 1817 01:43:05,920 --> 01:43:08,479 Speaker 1: sports agent or something, or a telemarketer, you weren't on 1818 01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:11,280 Speaker 1: your phone all the time. Or you know, a high 1819 01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:12,960 Speaker 1: school kid. I spent way too much time on the 1820 01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:16,400 Speaker 1: phone in high school. Uh, there were some limitations built 1821 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,679 Speaker 1: in now as you can do business, you can do shopping, 1822 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:20,760 Speaker 1: you can do research, you can write emails, it's just 1823 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:24,519 Speaker 1: your whole life gets caught up in this device, and 1824 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 1: the device is distracting. And this is what's so interesting 1825 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:31,360 Speaker 1: from this Wall Street Journal piece because hashtag science. The 1826 01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:34,960 Speaker 1: device is distracting to people even when it is not 1827 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 1: actively in use, which is why I hate the device 1828 01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:42,560 Speaker 1: up on the table situation. What they find from the 1829 01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:47,439 Speaker 1: research is that when they measure tasks of cognition right 1830 01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:51,760 Speaker 1: of mental ability, and people have a phone either out 1831 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,040 Speaker 1: or with them in a room, but they're supposed to 1832 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 1: focus on everything other than the or something other than 1833 01:43:57,080 --> 01:44:04,799 Speaker 1: the phone that is mentally intensive that requires real intellectual power, 1834 01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:07,200 Speaker 1: right that if the phone is in the other room, 1835 01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,040 Speaker 1: people tend to do better because once the phone is 1836 01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 1: in the room, It's not just the is it ringing? 1837 01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:17,240 Speaker 1: Is it vibrating? It's the draw of is it going 1838 01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:22,360 Speaker 1: to ring? Is it going to vibrate? Is this device going? 1839 01:44:22,479 --> 01:44:25,080 Speaker 1: Am I going to have to engage with it? I 1840 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,600 Speaker 1: think about it this way. When you put your smartphone 1841 01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: out on the table during a meal, it's as though 1842 01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,960 Speaker 1: you are taking an old rotary phone and just going 1843 01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:38,599 Speaker 1: black and whacking it down on the table. The phone 1844 01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,920 Speaker 1: may not ring, but every time you see that phone, 1845 01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,400 Speaker 1: your brain is thinking, oh, the phone. Maybe the phone's 1846 01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna ring. I wonder who's gonna call me. I guess 1847 01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:48,439 Speaker 1: the phone could ring. Maybe I shouldn't pay attention to 1848 01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:51,200 Speaker 1: what's going on here because the phone might ring. We 1849 01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,599 Speaker 1: need to draw some lines here. And I've been getting 1850 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,760 Speaker 1: better about this, and you know, to Molly's credit, she's 1851 01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:59,080 Speaker 1: very she's, you know, put your phone away. She's always 1852 01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:02,160 Speaker 1: put your phone away. And I'm getting I'm getting pretty 1853 01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:04,560 Speaker 1: good about it now. Um, because I don't do the 1854 01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,520 Speaker 1: dinner thing, and that's just you know, that's for barbarians. 1855 01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 1: You don't. You don't put your phone out in a 1856 01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,640 Speaker 1: social dinner on top on the table. I'm sorry, but 1857 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:14,880 Speaker 1: and I know people do it. And I'm other people 1858 01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:16,840 Speaker 1: listening who do it, and you're not actually barbarians. But 1859 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make a point. Uh, But I'm 1860 01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that this now is important even in my 1861 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,680 Speaker 1: private life and my personal life. You know, when I'm 1862 01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 1: with Molly or I'm with my I'm very close with 1863 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:29,479 Speaker 1: my siblings and my parents. When I'm with my family 1864 01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,760 Speaker 1: phones away, you know, you can do this thing where 1865 01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,240 Speaker 1: you have conversations but you have your phone out and 1866 01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,360 Speaker 1: you think you're in the conversation, but you're really not. 1867 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:42,160 Speaker 1: You're really not being present and giving it your full attention. 1868 01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:46,920 Speaker 1: So in terms of a distraction device, there's no question 1869 01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 1: that phones are really insidious in that way, right that 1870 01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:53,760 Speaker 1: they take even when they're not. This is the thing 1871 01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:55,960 Speaker 1: everyone thinks, Oh, I'm not on my phone, I'm not 1872 01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,439 Speaker 1: using my phone. Yeah, but if it's out or if 1873 01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,920 Speaker 1: you honestly can even feel it, you know, in your pocket, 1874 01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:02,880 Speaker 1: but more importantly, if it's out and you can see it, 1875 01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,840 Speaker 1: it is distracting you. And they're testing this scientifically. It 1876 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:09,840 Speaker 1: is distracting you from whatever else is going on. So 1877 01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, if you haven't seen your wife, you haven't 1878 01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 1: seen your husband in a couple of days, or it's 1879 01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:18,040 Speaker 1: your first date. Nine out in a while. No phones, 1880 01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:24,599 Speaker 1: not out, not used away, phones go away. Yeah, these 1881 01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:27,280 Speaker 1: are decisions that I've I've come to this with some 1882 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,880 Speaker 1: knowledge and experience on this planet. It's the same reason 1883 01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,040 Speaker 1: why I used to love video games. But I had 1884 01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,439 Speaker 1: to stop playing video games. You know why, because not 1885 01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,479 Speaker 1: only was I wasting a lot of my time. And look, 1886 01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:40,200 Speaker 1: if you play games, that's great for you know, if 1887 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,760 Speaker 1: you keep it in it's it's like watching TV. Right, 1888 01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 1: you can watch a little TV, and that's nice. You 1889 01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:47,240 Speaker 1: need that escape. But I know with me, with with 1890 01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,479 Speaker 1: the video game, if I got really into it, not 1891 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:51,760 Speaker 1: only was I spending time doing it, but then I 1892 01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,000 Speaker 1: was thinking about the game later on in the day. 1893 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,080 Speaker 1: Or you know, oh, I could have beaten that guy 1894 01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:59,840 Speaker 1: in Madden, or that guy who was playing as as 1895 01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:03,080 Speaker 1: Andy and Civilization I was Montezuma. I could have taken 1896 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:07,080 Speaker 1: him out. You know. No, it just was it was 1897 01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:09,760 Speaker 1: a waste for me because I couldn't put it in 1898 01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:13,920 Speaker 1: its uh, in its proper bucket, if you will, and 1899 01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,240 Speaker 1: segment it off from the rest of my day. Was 1900 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:19,280 Speaker 1: a time suck. It was a distraction. Even when I 1901 01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:23,439 Speaker 1: wasn't actively engaged in it, and that's the way we 1902 01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:25,000 Speaker 1: need to start thinking my phones. And then the other 1903 01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,240 Speaker 1: part of this, which is really what I referenced a 1904 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,400 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and there's more research about this in 1905 01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:31,720 Speaker 1: this piece in the Wall Street Journal. The other part 1906 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:34,360 Speaker 1: of it is that your your brain. People say things 1907 01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:36,439 Speaker 1: like your brain is like a muscle, and it was like, well, 1908 01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,200 Speaker 1: in terms of the tissue, that's obviously not true. Brain 1909 01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:42,800 Speaker 1: tissue was not okay, yeah, but using your brain does. 1910 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:45,800 Speaker 1: And I should note the brain is like not the 1911 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,200 Speaker 1: final frontier, but it's like one of the last frontiers 1912 01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:50,680 Speaker 1: of we know more than we've ever known, but in 1913 01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:52,880 Speaker 1: fact we're learning more and more about what we how 1914 01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:56,320 Speaker 1: much we don't know as well. And the more you 1915 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,839 Speaker 1: use your brain in and and exercise it's cognitive functions, 1916 01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:06,120 Speaker 1: it obviously helps and improves cognitive function and recall and 1917 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:10,720 Speaker 1: memory is if not a skill that you can sort 1918 01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:15,000 Speaker 1: of work on, it, it's at least something that well, no, 1919 01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:16,920 Speaker 1: it is a skill that you can work on. I mean, 1920 01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that's very clear. There's a lot of research 1921 01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 1: that goes to that. It just so it doesn't mean 1922 01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:23,000 Speaker 1: that you can all be we can all become a genius. 1923 01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:24,320 Speaker 1: It's not like if you do enough push ups you 1924 01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:25,880 Speaker 1: able to do a hundred push ups, right. I don't 1925 01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:29,160 Speaker 1: know how much you can expand your recall ability, but 1926 01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 1: it certainly is better when you use it more. And 1927 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,800 Speaker 1: relying a lot on phones means that you are less 1928 01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:40,960 Speaker 1: likely to be somebody who is very involved in efforts 1929 01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:45,080 Speaker 1: to recall information. Um, you know, the phone should be 1930 01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:47,439 Speaker 1: a tool that should not be a crutch for your mind. 1931 01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking about now really serving the Internet and the 1932 01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:52,760 Speaker 1: other things that we do with our phones, and and 1933 01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,800 Speaker 1: the research capabilities that they have. I'm somebody who has 1934 01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:59,160 Speaker 1: always taken great pleasure and when I'm reading a book 1935 01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:01,880 Speaker 1: and I see something that's really interesting and then I 1936 01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,120 Speaker 1: want to share it, you know. So yeah, I'm I'm 1937 01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:08,400 Speaker 1: the dork who would be at a cocktail party and 1938 01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:12,920 Speaker 1: would say, you know, hey, you know, did you know? 1939 01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:18,160 Speaker 1: The necktie became fashionable in France and Paris first, and 1940 01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:22,120 Speaker 1: they call it a cravat because it is a version 1941 01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:25,840 Speaker 1: of the word cravati, which were or who were crow 1942 01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,240 Speaker 1: at mercenaries with a brightly colored piece of cloth around 1943 01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,880 Speaker 1: their neck that were conscripted into Louis the Fourteenth's army 1944 01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:35,439 Speaker 1: or not conscripted. We're hired their mercenaries into Louis the 1945 01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:37,800 Speaker 1: Fourteenth's army, and that's where we get cravat and the 1946 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:40,479 Speaker 1: necktie from it. I used to like to tell people 1947 01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:41,840 Speaker 1: stuff like that if I had read it in a 1948 01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:45,760 Speaker 1: book somewhere, and now people who it's sold on Wikipedia. Okay, fine, yeah, 1949 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:48,080 Speaker 1: we can all find this stuff on Wikipedia now. But 1950 01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:52,400 Speaker 1: knowing it and having it at your at your intellectual 1951 01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:58,719 Speaker 1: retrieval is important, and holding information in your head matters, 1952 01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,240 Speaker 1: and I think that that's what the research into smartphones 1953 01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:04,519 Speaker 1: is increasingly showing us. But the biggest thing, and this 1954 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:07,400 Speaker 1: is I'm telling you this in large part also as 1955 01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 1: a reminder to myself, be present. Put the phones away. 1956 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:14,120 Speaker 1: No phones on the table during dinner, and especially when 1957 01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:17,280 Speaker 1: it's you're with that special someone and it's your time. 1958 01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,880 Speaker 1: The phone is the enemy, not just when you're on it, 1959 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:24,160 Speaker 1: not just when you're using it. Put it away. It 1960 01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:27,680 Speaker 1: distracts and it limits your ability to be present and 1961 01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:32,960 Speaker 1: really enjoy the experience. Keep those phones away. Um, unless 1962 01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:36,360 Speaker 1: you're opening up the phone to download the buck section 1963 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,840 Speaker 1: with American Podcast, that's always acceptable or to listen to 1964 01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:42,320 Speaker 1: me on the I Heart App. I don't care if 1965 01:50:42,400 --> 01:50:47,479 Speaker 1: you are at uh Le Cirque or Balthazar, New York City, 1966 01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:49,840 Speaker 1: or the I V in l A or whatever fancy 1967 01:50:49,920 --> 01:50:52,400 Speaker 1: restaurant you can think of, wherever you are in the country.
