2:19
Speaker 2: this is an awesome development. Elon Musk is now labeling
2:24
Speaker 2: the location where people who post on X are actually located.
2:29
Speaker 2: I'll get to some details on that in a minute,
2:31
Speaker 2: because I am elated about this development because it confirmed
2:34
Speaker 2: something I've been saying on the radio without confirmation for years,
2:37
Speaker 2: which is, you are being manipulated on social media by
2:40
Speaker 2: foreign adversaries. Guess what you are. No, that's not some
2:44
Speaker 2: guy in Texas who's on X saying some guy in
2:47
Speaker 2: Texas making posts about Trump, Maga, the divisions in the
2:51
Speaker 2: United States, racist posts, whatever. No, it's some Oh I
2:55
Speaker 2: almost said an FCC non compliant word. That was close. Yep.
3:02
Speaker 2: That would have been bad, wouldn't it. I just I
3:05
Speaker 2: went for a I caught myself, but I asked for
3:07
Speaker 2: a reading from Sean McMahon, who's covered for Joe, and yeah,
3:10
Speaker 2: I got to chuck a lot of them anyhow. No,
3:13
Speaker 2: it's some random dude in pick a country, Bangladesh. There's
3:17
Speaker 2: lots of them from India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates,
3:21
Speaker 2: and of course some of our more prominent enemies like
3:24
Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist Party. Yeah, they're the ones that are
3:26
Speaker 2: sturing the pott of division in this country on social media.
3:30
Speaker 2: And Elon Musk is just one guy doing on one platform.
3:35
Speaker 2: I want this kind of feature on TikTok again. We'll
3:37
Speaker 2: get to the details of that minute, because I cannot
3:39
Speaker 2: wait TOI Ledo fight to talk about it. Plus we'll
3:41
Speaker 2: talk about the Meta had shut down its internal research
3:47
Speaker 2: which showed in fact, social media is dangerous. You know,
3:52
Speaker 2: this reminds me of the tobacco company litigation, you know,
3:54
Speaker 2: their internal studies. At least, as I recall the facts
3:57
Speaker 2: of that, tobacco companies knew that their products were dams
4:00
Speaker 2: for years, yet they hid the research and they did
4:02
Speaker 2: everything they could to tell you that no, don't believe
4:04
Speaker 2: what they're saying, that some cigarettes aren't as bad as
4:07
Speaker 2: they're telling you. Well, they hit internal research which showed
4:09
Speaker 2: the exact opposite of what was coming out of their
4:11
Speaker 2: mouth as one of the reasons they were found liable.
4:13
Speaker 2: So Meta, rather than get the conclusive data, shut down
4:17
Speaker 2: its internal research which was starting to show that it
4:20
Speaker 2: was dangerous for our children, among others, and Jesu Louis
4:24
Speaker 2: do I have a terrible shit if you get a minute,
4:25
Speaker 2: because I don't know if I'll be able to get
4:26
Speaker 2: to it. Here's important reading for anyone who has anybody
4:30
Speaker 2: in their world, their sphere of influence, who perhaps is
4:33
Speaker 2: under the age of eighteen. Teens are saying tearful goodbyes
4:39
Speaker 2: to their AI companions. That is the headline Wall Street Journal.
4:44
Speaker 2: Georgia Wells, author of the article chatbot maker Character AI
4:50
Speaker 2: just one of the chatbots, is cutting off access to teens,
4:53
Speaker 2: citing mental health concerns and the accounts of these teenagers
4:58
Speaker 2: and how much time they spend interc acting with artificial
5:01
Speaker 2: intelligence as their friends. This stuff is so real that
5:05
Speaker 2: I guess they lose connection with reality. That they're talking
5:08
Speaker 2: to ones and zero's artificially generated contact, and they're connected
5:12
Speaker 2: to it, and they like need it and long for it.
5:16
Speaker 2: And now they find out that they're fake friends online.
5:18
Speaker 2: These characters that they create and talk to for hours
5:21
Speaker 2: and hours at a time are being cut off and
5:26
Speaker 2: they're struggling emotionally. Oh my god, I'm not gonna be
5:28
Speaker 2: able to interact with character AI anymore. Yeah, You're not
5:31
Speaker 2: gonna be an interact with a computer anymore. Do you
5:33
Speaker 2: feel they do feel a sense of longing and belonging
5:36
Speaker 2: because they're interacting with effectively no one. This is scary,
5:41
Speaker 2: scary stuff, you know. And the more disconnected a child is,
5:46
Speaker 2: the fewer friends a child has, the more socially awkward
5:49
Speaker 2: a child has, the more blankly is going to be
5:51
Speaker 2: brought here or she is going to be sucked into
5:53
Speaker 2: this reality. God bless America. We are heading down a
5:57
Speaker 2: wrong path here, and talk a lot about that today.
6:00
Speaker 2: We'll get a little bit of information from Dave Hatter
6:02
Speaker 2: at six point thirty on that one as well. That
6:04
Speaker 2: is with Charge Conversations that finally popped back of my head.
6:09
Speaker 2: Idiot Brian Thomas. That's Brighan mccowan's podcast, Better late than ever.
6:14
Speaker 2: And of course the Daniel Davis A deep dive where
6:16
Speaker 2: are we the uh what was it? Twenty four point
6:21
Speaker 2: plan then whittled down to a nineteen point plan. Then
6:23
Speaker 2: we find out that Kremlin says, now, that's just one
6:29
Speaker 2: of many things going on. We of course have h
6:31
Speaker 2: has Bala and Hamas with seemingly two different positions from
6:35
Speaker 2: the United States relative to what Israel is doing by
6:38
Speaker 2: way of strategy, relative to Moss and Guy and has Bala,
6:41
Speaker 2: so Daniel Davis at least on those two topics that
6:44
Speaker 2: will be at eight thirty and again five three seven
6:47
Speaker 2: four ninety eight hundred two three talk pound five fifty
6:50
Speaker 2: on EIGHTT and T founds over to Elon Musk and please,
6:52
Speaker 2: Dear God, will all the uh, the tiktoks and every
6:56
Speaker 2: other company on social media provide this feature so you
6:59
Speaker 2: and I can get those reality. He put out a
7:02
Speaker 2: new feature on x which shows the location where an
7:06
Speaker 2: account is operating from AH, noting the many anonymous accounts
7:11
Speaker 2: claiming to be for example, Maga pushing division within the
7:17
Speaker 2: conservative movement, operated by folks in India, Pakistan as well
7:22
Speaker 2: as other nations, hum and on these so called popular influencers.
7:27
Speaker 2: And it always blows my mind how many people will
7:29
Speaker 2: follow these various quote unquote influencers, random people with just
7:33
Speaker 2: opinions that randomly pop up. Turns out they're not who
7:36
Speaker 2: they say they are. Most have been claiming to be
7:38
Speaker 2: Americans for years.
7:39
Speaker 3: Mmmm.
7:40
Speaker 2: So Musk rolls out these new features that displays more
7:43
Speaker 2: information about the accounts, including the country of origin where
7:46
Speaker 2: they are based in Somebody's out there going but what
7:49
Speaker 2: about a VPN. Yeah, they got to work around for
7:51
Speaker 2: that too. All you need to do if you're an
7:54
Speaker 2: EX user go to the account's profile, click on the
7:58
Speaker 2: date that the account quote unquote joined the platform, that
8:04
Speaker 2: takes you to and what they call an about page,
8:07
Speaker 2: which shows additional details about the poster, the person posting
8:11
Speaker 2: the account information. So on Sunday when it was rolled out,
8:15
Speaker 2: everybody on actual least a lot of them started sharing
8:18
Speaker 2: scream thoughts when they found out that all these people,
8:21
Speaker 2: many of whom claimed to be part of the MAGA movement,
8:24
Speaker 2: that are sewing division and infighting within the MAGA movement
8:27
Speaker 2: actually based in well, among others, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh.
8:32
Speaker 3: Hmm.
8:38
Speaker 2: One commentator who knew that an Austrian has been running
8:42
Speaker 2: a Republicans against Trump psyop page, he said, this new
8:48
Speaker 2: feature has to be one of my favorite ones EX
8:50
Speaker 2: has ever added. Amen, watch the petty infighting stop and
8:54
Speaker 2: other foreign countries aren't pushing slop under cover of anonymity.
8:57
Speaker 2: Amen to that. I shared a screen shot about a
9:00
Speaker 2: page for the popular were described as popular. I guess
9:03
Speaker 2: nine hundred and seventy eight thousand plus users or followers
9:07
Speaker 2: makes it quote unquote popular. It's labeled Republicans against Trump,
9:12
Speaker 2: and it's based in Austria. So after being caught, I
9:18
Speaker 2: went I mentioned a VPN A moment ago. They say
9:21
Speaker 2: accounts posing as US citizens started using a VPN account
9:25
Speaker 2: to appear as if they are in the United States.
9:27
Speaker 2: If you're not familiar with VPNs, they're pretty genius. So
9:31
Speaker 2: let's say, for example, you're sitting in a state where
9:33
Speaker 2: they've banned access to online pornography for people under the
9:36
Speaker 2: age of eighteen, requiring a verification. Let's say that state
9:39
Speaker 2: is all pick one, Kentucky. You're in Kentucky. Your IP
9:42
Speaker 2: address shows you're in Kentucky. If you log into a VPN,
9:45
Speaker 2: you can choose literally any country in the war. Not
9:48
Speaker 2: literally any country, but almost any country in the world.
9:51
Speaker 2: To pretend is if you're well logging in and out
9:53
Speaker 2: from that, the IP address shows up there. So Illinois
9:56
Speaker 2: doesn't have a prohibition against younger people on the age
10:00
Speaker 2: of eighteen logging into porn sites. Just pretend you're in
10:03
Speaker 2: Chicago and you won't be faced with the challenge anymore.
10:06
Speaker 2: Same thing here, you're in Bangladesh. You're stirring the pot
10:08
Speaker 2: of division. Well, just make it look like you're in
10:10
Speaker 2: Texas with a VPN. So with that in mind, they started, well,
10:18
Speaker 2: there's an they put an exclamation point next to the
10:21
Speaker 2: account's location. So if you see an exclamation point under
10:25
Speaker 2: that information page, they're using a VPN. How about that
10:31
Speaker 2: exclamation point next to the United States in the about
10:35
Speaker 2: page for that for example, Republicans against Trump account shows
10:38
Speaker 2: that at the time of the writing, the account was
10:40
Speaker 2: using a VPN. If there's no exclamation point, the user
10:43
Speaker 2: is seeing the real location for the account. So when
10:46
Speaker 2: you're going through this feature you see an exclamation point,
10:49
Speaker 2: red flag, maybe not follow that particular person, or at
10:52
Speaker 2: least enter into the realm of open eyes, knowing full
10:56
Speaker 2: well that that person maybe in North Korea or something.
11:02
Speaker 2: Accorded to one who wrote one of the most openly
11:06
Speaker 2: racist accounts toward Indians, posing an American has actually run
11:12
Speaker 2: from Bangladesh, showed the screenshot of the about page for
11:17
Speaker 2: an account dubbed America first sixty seven thousand, almost sixty
11:21
Speaker 2: eight thousand followers is actually in Bangladesh. There's an account
11:25
Speaker 2: Maga is dead ninety three thousand followers located in Europe somewhere.
11:40
Speaker 2: Call you old fashioned, but I don't think folks from
11:42
Speaker 2: foreign countries should be allowed to vote in our election.
11:44
Speaker 2: This ex account called Warhamster twenty three thousand followers, wrote
11:49
Speaker 2: one user equipped man, you don't even have elections, then
11:52
Speaker 2: showed the screenshot of where the account is. The United
11:56
Speaker 2: Arab Emirates guy posting a Congo Leese man, our tax
12:02
Speaker 2: money goes to Israel. He's not an American citizen. He's
12:05
Speaker 2: stirring the potted division over Israel our tax money. You're
12:11
Speaker 2: in Congo Man one hundred and twenty eighty six hundred
12:15
Speaker 2: followers on x for that one, alongside the screenshot one
12:19
Speaker 2: of the posts which reads, Israel is a terrorist state
12:22
Speaker 2: funded with our taxpayer money. No it isn't. You're not
12:26
Speaker 2: an American citizen. Say what you want, hot stir. Last year,
12:35
Speaker 2: this MAGA account was berating me for not living on
12:38
Speaker 2: a reservation. Well, it turns out they were in Nigeria
12:42
Speaker 2: the whole time, one pointed out, sharing a screenshot of
12:44
Speaker 2: the Mega Scope that's the name of the account boasting
12:48
Speaker 2: fifty one thousand followers on X based in Yes, Nigeria.
13:00
Speaker 2: Ed Wokeness apparently a popular US actually US based ex
13:04
Speaker 2: account who provided some commentary after revealing that the large
13:08
Speaker 2: anti Trump account called ron Smith self deleted after it
13:13
Speaker 2: being revealed that the account was in Kenya. It boasted
13:17
Speaker 2: nearly fifty three thousand followers. I'm giving props to Breitbart
13:20
Speaker 2: for providing this information, although it wasn't Colin Maydine Alan
13:25
Speaker 2: Master Angelow doing the reporting on this breaking. American guy
13:33
Speaker 2: is not actually an American guy. It's the American Voice account.
13:36
Speaker 2: Screenshot guy claims to be living in Florida. The account
13:41
Speaker 2: in India, Maga Nation account three hundred and ninety two
13:48
Speaker 2: thousand followers based in a non EU Eastern European country.
13:56
Speaker 2: You may have heard a conservative commentator Matt Wall. She
13:58
Speaker 2: was sharing a popular account called Israel exposed, coming in
14:02
Speaker 2: at about one hundred and hundred and eighty five thousand
14:04
Speaker 2: followers based in Saudi Arabia. Wal said this quote unquote
14:14
Speaker 2: conservative account has been relentlessly stoking in fighting for months now.
14:19
Speaker 2: Not American, no surprise. One account posting eighty eighty one
14:26
Speaker 2: hundred followers actually based in Romania. One conservative writer how
14:33
Speaker 2: did they vote for Trump? In Macedonia? One European based account,
14:38
Speaker 2: it exclaimed, I do not care what anyone says. Trump
14:41
Speaker 2: is doing exactly what I voted for and more. I
14:44
Speaker 2: am proud to be ultra maggot again Macedonian account. You
14:48
Speaker 2: see what I'm saying here, You see what's being revealed here.
14:51
Speaker 2: Remember one social media platform, and there are probably hundreds,
14:57
Speaker 2: if not thousands, of these accounts post divisive pots, stirring
15:01
Speaker 2: posts from people who have nothing but a great interest
15:06
Speaker 2: in seeing that You and I just basically scream and
15:09
Speaker 2: fight about everything. Pick a topic, there's division over it,
15:14
Speaker 2: the pot gets stirred, and you hide in your bunker
15:19
Speaker 2: of insulation looking at accounts that only provide fodder for
15:24
Speaker 2: what you believe and are led to believe that there
15:29
Speaker 2: are one hundreds and thousands, if not millions of people
15:31
Speaker 2: who share your belief sets. No, actually it's folks in
15:34
Speaker 2: Bangladesh and elsewhere. Five twenty right now, fifty five KRCD
15:38
Speaker 2: Talk station. Feel free to call. I got more to
15:40
Speaker 2: talk about, of course coming up, also stack as Stupid,
15:42
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to Tech Friday or Tech Tuesday
15:44
Speaker 2: actually at six thirty next hour.
15:46
Speaker 4: Right back, This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.
15:52
Speaker 2: About twenty three five KRECD Talk station five hundred, eight
16:00
Speaker 2: hundred and eight to two three talk Go time. I
16:02
Speaker 2: I on att phones. AH, got ahead of the bad weather,
16:09
Speaker 2: thankfully got my grass cut for the final time yesterday.
16:12
Speaker 2: Always enjoyed that final cut of the year. And I
16:16
Speaker 2: get to put the lawnmower away till springtime. Speaking of
16:19
Speaker 2: a little minor tech article in the remaining a couple
16:21
Speaker 2: of minutes we got here abb some phone calls Representative
16:23
Speaker 2: Eric Swawell California. He's running for governor of the state
16:26
Speaker 2: of California, along with a whole bunch of other people.
16:29
Speaker 2: Here you go. What do you think of this proposal?
16:33
Speaker 2: Swallaw said Corner of The Washington Examiner, reporting, if we
16:36
Speaker 2: can do our taxes, make our healthcare appointments, you know,
16:41
Speaker 2: essentially do your banking online, you should be able to
16:46
Speaker 2: vote by phone. I don't see any problems with that,
16:52
Speaker 2: especially on the heels of that X article. Make it safe,
16:54
Speaker 2: make it secure. But it's actually already happening all over
16:56
Speaker 2: the United States. Well that's not necessarily true. There are
16:59
Speaker 2: some jurisdictions have done limited to testing of mobile slash
17:03
Speaker 2: phone based voting, but mainly for military and overseas voters.
17:06
Speaker 2: It's reported pilot programs tested in West Virginia, Utah, Colorado,
17:10
Speaker 2: and parts of Alaska. But no one is offering full
17:13
Speaker 2: vote by phone elections. Why. Security concerns, reliability concerns, and
17:17
Speaker 2: of course auditing concerns. Everybody out there who thinks there
17:20
Speaker 2: should be a formal paper ballot evidence of how you voted,
17:24
Speaker 2: just in case there's a glitch. Yeah, phone voting wouldn't
17:30
Speaker 2: provide that. And get a load of this one. It
17:34
Speaker 2: doubles down on stupid. I want to make a I
17:37
Speaker 2: want us to max out democracy. Go ahead and use
17:40
Speaker 2: your imagination to figure out what the hell that means.
17:43
Speaker 2: He said. Also, as it relates to democracy, if you
17:47
Speaker 2: wait in line for thirty minutes or more, if you
17:51
Speaker 2: do want to vote in person, I think you should
17:54
Speaker 2: find every county for every minute that a person has
17:59
Speaker 2: to wait longer. That's a bizarre idea waiting in line
18:10
Speaker 2: more than thirty minutes resulting. Okay, you know as dumb
18:13
Speaker 2: as I think it is conceptually, because who knows. You
18:15
Speaker 2: go to the polling places. Sometimes you go there's no
18:17
Speaker 2: one in line. Sometimes you go like during lunch hour
18:19
Speaker 2: and everybody's there. It's gonna take a little bit longer
18:20
Speaker 2: to vote. But where's this thirty minutes come from, mister Swallwell?
18:25
Speaker 2: And what do you do you get? You get a
18:27
Speaker 2: punch card. When you get in line, you punch a
18:29
Speaker 2: card like you're timing in it. We're clocking in at work.
18:32
Speaker 2: And then when you go to vote, you punch it again.
18:34
Speaker 2: And if it's over thirty minutes, we're going to write
18:36
Speaker 2: down the number of minutes that you have waited beyond
18:38
Speaker 2: thirty and then compile the fines and make the county
18:42
Speaker 2: pay for it. Now, especially in a time when you
18:45
Speaker 2: have voluntary poll workers, basically it's an I will call
18:48
Speaker 2: it an unpaid position because for the eighteen or so
18:51
Speaker 2: hours you actually work, you aren't paid even minimum wage.
18:53
Speaker 2: But that's okay, I considered a voluntary thing. You're doing
18:57
Speaker 2: your civic duty in public service. You know, we have
18:59
Speaker 2: a difficult time even filling and getting enough poll workers.
19:03
Speaker 2: So for lack of people wanting to work the polls,
19:06
Speaker 2: you might run into a situation where it's going to
19:07
Speaker 2: take you longer than thirty minutes to vote. Now, whose
19:10
Speaker 2: fault is that? Is it a problem with the system anyway?
19:14
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to get elected governor. That's
19:17

19:55
Speaker 2: talk or pound five fifty on eighteen and t phones.
19:58
Speaker 2: Tom good to hear from you as all always, my friend.
20:01
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning. First of all, I can confirm that
20:05
Speaker 5: the rain is not isolated from whole rain all the
20:09
Speaker 5: way to Middletown.
20:10
Speaker 2: Oh, no, it is. I would isolated rain after noontime,
20:14
Speaker 2: just basically steady rain, steady rain in the morning.
20:17
Speaker 5: Oh, it's definitely steady.
20:19
Speaker 2: I believe.
20:21
Speaker 5: I can also confirm that the gas prices at the
20:25
Speaker 5: Cincinnati Date Road in seventy five are in the two forties. Oh,
20:29
Speaker 5: if you if you want to fill up before it
20:31
Speaker 5: is your big Thanksgiving trip, and you're not too far away,
20:36
Speaker 5: that's a great place to get guessed. Tomas billed too.
20:39
Speaker 5: I think I saw one.
20:41
Speaker 2: So yeah, I hope diesels. I hope diesel is also
20:44
Speaker 2: coming down.
20:48
Speaker 5: Not not as low, not as low as unloaded, but yeah,
20:51
Speaker 5: it's never.
20:52
Speaker 2: Ever as low as unlid. I just hope it's going
20:53
Speaker 2: to commensurate a decrease in price, because of course that
20:56
Speaker 2: directly impacts a lot of what we eat and consume
20:58
Speaker 2: because for shipping costs. So yeah, if you're looking for
21:00
Speaker 2: an inflationary for inflationary relief, there's one right there in front.
21:03
Speaker 5: Of you, right, And all these companies are just looking
21:07
Speaker 5: for a good reason to lower their prices in ports,
21:10
Speaker 5: so that I mean it. It takes a it takes
21:13
Speaker 5: a shift in the wind for them to raise their prices,
21:16
Speaker 5: but to bring them down or to stop raising them
21:19
Speaker 5: is like an act of Congress. In fact, acts of
21:21
Speaker 5: Congress only make things go up, right.
21:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Well, at least at least we have the
21:26
Speaker 2: Departments of Weights and Measures which prevents the shrink inflation.
21:30
Speaker 2: A gala gas must be a gallon, you know, it
21:33
Speaker 2: can't be three quarters of a gallon at a gallon.
21:37
Speaker 5: We hope, so yeah, we hope.
21:38
Speaker 1: So right.
21:41
Speaker 5: So, you know, your conversation about these these bots on
21:46
Speaker 5: x and other social media things make it makes me
21:49
Speaker 5: think that, you know, question, what what is it we
21:53
Speaker 5: are basing our opinions on. Each individual person has to
21:57
Speaker 5: answer this question for themselves and how solid are you
22:01
Speaker 5: in your opinion? So if you're basing your opinion on
22:05
Speaker 5: other people's opinions, well you've got a world of trouble there.
22:08
Speaker 5: Speaking of shifting wins, I mean today, it could be
22:11
Speaker 5: one day, then you hear something else tomorrow, and oh
22:14
Speaker 5: my god, that these people think that you have to
22:16
Speaker 5: come up with a conclusion of your own, and you
22:19
Speaker 5: do have to listen to other people's opinions. You got
22:22
Speaker 5: to weigh wigh information and hopefully you're trying to find
22:26
Speaker 5: trusted sources, but then you got to determine whether or
22:29
Speaker 5: not the source of information is trustworthy or whatever. So
22:33
Speaker 5: there's a lot of information out there. One of the
22:35
Speaker 5: reasons why people decide to stick your head into saying
22:37
Speaker 5: that don't even pay attention to it.
22:38
Speaker 2: Well, that is true, but think about the foundation. You
22:42
Speaker 2: need to engage in what I consider to be a
22:44
Speaker 2: logical and reasonable exercise when weighing the value of one
22:48
Speaker 2: opinion or another. If you're talking about matters of the economy,
22:51
Speaker 2: you've got Kingsan economists, you've got your freedoman economists. You
22:54
Speaker 2: know your Austrian school of economy. You have to be
22:57
Speaker 2: able to apply these general concepts. You know the laws
22:59
Speaker 2: of line demand. If somebody's screaming to you about giving
23:02
Speaker 2: you stuff and things and saying it's going to be free,
23:04
Speaker 2: and you don't have enough sense to know that free
23:07
Speaker 2: is not free. It usually means the taxpayer dollars are
23:10
Speaker 2: paying for it, then you can't evaluate it from that standpoint.
23:14
Speaker 2: Ethics and morals also play into it. Is a guy
23:17
Speaker 2: a woman if they say they are, I would argue,
23:19
Speaker 2: you know, because I understand about genetics and chromosomes, and
23:22
Speaker 2: you can't tell me you can turn yourself into the
23:24
Speaker 2: opposite sex merely by uttering the words I'm an opposite
23:27
Speaker 2: I'm the opposite sex. So there's some logical and reasonable application.
23:30
Speaker 2: Maybe that ethical and moral foundation includes some aspect of religion.
23:34
Speaker 2: Some of us are born and raised in families with religion,
23:37
Speaker 2: different religions, different religions, different ethical and moral applications. See,
23:42
Speaker 2: you gotta be able to apply a foundation to engage
23:46
Speaker 2: in this exercise. And basically, from everything I've learned, and
23:49
Speaker 2: there's another article about it today, our children are not
23:53
Speaker 2: engaging in the logical exercise. They're not involved in thinking.
23:58
Speaker 2: They are being told and just provided something without an analysis.
24:03
Speaker 2: This is why I always argue about the Socratic method
24:05
Speaker 2: being so valuable and what I love so much about
24:07
Speaker 2: college and law school. That's how you get into that process,
24:10
Speaker 2: the back and forth, questioning, pressing the margins, engaging in thought.
24:14
Speaker 2: Somebody comes up with an idea and you exchange ideas
24:17
Speaker 2: about that idea. But if you don't have those foundational skills,
24:20
Speaker 2: you're easily going to be swayed by somebody apparently in Bangladesh.
24:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're easily going to be swayed if all you're
24:28
Speaker 5: doing is is dealing with your emotions. Yeah, and that's
24:31
Speaker 5: what that's what these social media platforms, all these news outlets, Yep,
24:37
Speaker 5: they throw things up there for clickbait because they want
24:40
Speaker 5: to get your emotions started up.
24:41
Speaker 2: Yep.
24:42
Speaker 5: All of them do it right, left, center, They all
24:44
Speaker 5: do it. They all put something up there because oh my,
24:47
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, look at that. I mean, like, for example,
24:49
Speaker 5: this morning, I'm looking through news and stuff and I
24:54
Speaker 5: see on Fox News, I see something about what joy
24:56
Speaker 5: Behart said. Why should we give a crap what Joy
25:01
Speaker 5: behar thinks? What has she ever done to make us
25:04
Speaker 5: think that? Oh there there's an interesting source of information.
25:08
Speaker 5: Maybe I might want to see what she has to say. Well, well,
25:11
Speaker 5: it's just to start our emotions. Look at this idiot.
25:14
Speaker 5: We I mean, you know, she's she doesn't make any.
25:17
Speaker 6: Sense at all.
25:18
Speaker 5: What is she saying? So let's counter it with whatever?
25:21
Speaker 1: You know?
25:22
Speaker 5: I mean, it's that's that's all this has turned into.
25:24
Speaker 5: So you're right, you have to have a foundation that
25:26
Speaker 5: you started from. And for most of it's it's how
25:29
Speaker 5: are we brought up? What? What did our What did
25:31
Speaker 5: we hear our parents saying? Not necessarily, what did they
25:34
Speaker 5: teach us? Like directly, what did we hear them saying?
25:38
Speaker 5: And if you grew up in a family and they're
25:40
Speaker 5: complaining about the government all the time, or they're complaining
25:43
Speaker 5: about this race of people or that racist people and
25:45
Speaker 5: they're blaming other people for their lot in life, and
25:48
Speaker 5: and and they're not being responsible. That's that's you're gonna
25:53
Speaker 5: lean in that direction when you grow up, become an adult,
25:56
Speaker 5: and that's gonna be the default reaction that you're gonna
25:58
Speaker 5: have because that's what you've been hearing your entire childhood.
26:02
Speaker 5: And so that's that's the thing we got to combat
26:05
Speaker 5: when we're talking to people. We got to understand, Hey,
26:07
Speaker 5: this is what we're dealing with, you know with where
26:09
Speaker 5: where did you come from, how were you raised? Get
26:12
Speaker 5: to know people if you're going to talk to them,
26:13
Speaker 5: and and you know, find out what they're all about.
26:16
Speaker 5: That way you understand, you know what you can say
26:19
Speaker 5: and can't say, and how you can talk to them.
26:21
Speaker 5: And by all means, you know, have conversations over to holidays.
26:25
Speaker 5: You only get so many times running to people. You
26:27
Speaker 5: don't have to be combative about it, you don't have
26:29
Speaker 5: to be insulting, but understand that you know where their
26:33
Speaker 5: people are coming from, so you know, you know to
26:35
Speaker 5: find a little inroad here and there. And by all means,
26:38
Speaker 5: please tell people when you talk to them, don't vote
26:41
Speaker 5: Democrats have a great time off. Brian I'll talk to
26:44
Speaker 5: you when you get back.
26:45

Speaker 2: CONFI fifty on AT and T phone. The entirely joyless
27:16
Speaker 2: Greta Thunberg. You know, actually on some level I feel
27:19
Speaker 2: sorry for her, but not much of a level. He's
27:22
Speaker 2: the angriest joyless, most angry joyless person I think I
27:27
Speaker 2: can ever come up with. In fact, in my mind,
27:29
Speaker 2: she's the poster child for a joyless individual. Anyway, she
27:32
Speaker 2: got busted slap of a forty eight hour band from
27:35
Speaker 2: entering Venice, Italy. She's a was part of this group
27:39
Speaker 2: Extinction Rebellion, who decided it was prudent to protest what
27:45
Speaker 2: they described as climate collapse by dyeing the Grand Canal
27:51
Speaker 2: in Venice bright green. She's twenty two got fined one
27:55
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two bucks along with the other thirty
27:57
Speaker 2: five demonstrators who were involved in this rebel alion. They
28:02
Speaker 2: claimed the dye they used was a fluorescent, non toxic
28:05
Speaker 2: tracer commonly employed in the environment and environmental studies like
28:08
Speaker 2: tracking water flows, monitoring leaks, or, in the case of
28:12
Speaker 2: Chicago's celebrating St. Patrick's Day. They claimed the dipos no
28:20
Speaker 2: ecological threat. Sure looks like an ecological threat when you
28:24
Speaker 2: have your water fluorescent green. They claim the stunt was
28:27
Speaker 2: still designed to, in their words, draw attention to the
28:29
Speaker 2: massive effects of climate collapse. I struggle with that phrase
28:37
Speaker 2: climate collapse. I mean, it's raining outside, there's still a
28:42
Speaker 2: climate out there. What would a complete climate collapse look
28:45
Speaker 2: like where we have no climate? What does that mean? Anyway?
28:52
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This protest coincided with the end of coincided
28:56
Speaker 2: with the end of that cop thirty UN climate conference
28:59
Speaker 2: where they didn't even co two. At least that's my
29:01
Speaker 2: boiled down conclusion on that. Yeah, they didn't do anything.
29:04
Speaker 2: They all flew in, They all tore down the rainforest,
29:06
Speaker 2: they all burned up tons of carbon flying in and
29:08
Speaker 2: out of their private jets, and they had nothing to
29:11
Speaker 2: show for it. They also died fountains around Europe Genoa, Padova, Turin,
29:18
Speaker 2: Bologna and Toronto. Their banner stop Echo Side was hung
29:24
Speaker 2: from the rialto bridge in Venice as well. Videto Province
29:28
Speaker 2: Governor Luca Zia said that Thunberg and this extinction rebellion
29:33
Speaker 2: stunt was a gesture that risks having consequences for the environment.
29:39
Speaker 2: He also called.
29:40
Speaker 3: It thank you.
29:45
Speaker 2: There she is, you can hear it in her voice.
29:50
Speaker 2: Governor also said the action was the disrespectful act towards
29:53
Speaker 2: our city, its history and fragility. Greta Thunberg inventing an
30:02
Speaker 2: act of environmental terrorism. Well, we can call it that,
30:04
Speaker 2: can't we. She can call what's going on climate collapse.
30:08
Speaker 2: I can call dying Venice green a well, act of
30:12
Speaker 2: eco terrorism. Five forty five fifty five K city talk

Speaker 2: let's just describe it. It was old concrete. It was
30:33
Speaker 2: cracked in many places. It had been previously painted. Most
30:36
Speaker 2: of the paint. This is not something that they did,
30:38
Speaker 2: but they bought it this way. Most of the painted
30:40
Speaker 2: pretty much flaked off, so you have this nasty, deteriorated
30:44
Speaker 2: concrete partially painted. It looked terrible. Not anymore. It looks amazing.
30:50

Speaker 2: poured it on the floor and the couch where she
32:56
Speaker 2: was sitting, and then set it on fire. Court of

34:33
Speaker 2: their way inside the restaurant to steal money from the
34:36
Speaker 2: cash register, but as soon as the activity began, as
34:40

Speaker 2: decided to well get it on. Cop said the pair
34:45
Speaker 2: was caught on the surveillance video camera, Yes, says doing
34:51
Speaker 2: the nasty. What do you think that means? John doing
34:54

35:04
Speaker 2: had been burglarized after coming to work the next day,

36:02
Speaker 2: don't snort ketamine for five years in a row for breakfast, lunch,
36:05
Speaker 2: and dinner, or you're going to pee out your bladder. Yes,
36:07
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened. A person described as a tradesman
36:11
Speaker 2: was addicted to ketamine, and that addiction so severe he
36:14
Speaker 2: would snort lines for breakfast while operating machinery at work,
36:18
Speaker 2: and this went on for a long time. Alex Logan
36:20
Speaker 2: thirty one and said he would sniff ketamine off his
36:22
Speaker 2: phone on the way to work, and then, of course,
36:25
Speaker 2: being a tradesman, would be climbing scaffolding, driving scissors, lists,
36:28
Speaker 2: all under the influence seven grams a day ketamine habit
36:33
Speaker 2: described as eventually shredding his bladder so badly he had
36:39
Speaker 2: to curl up like a fetus on the shower floor
36:42
Speaker 2: just to yearnate. Everyone was aware of this, family and
36:45
Speaker 2: friends noted his problem. He was a self confessed dangerous,
36:48
Speaker 2: ridiculous behavior. He knew he was doing badly, but he
36:51
Speaker 2: just continued to do it, calling him an addict wasn't
36:54
Speaker 2: until Alex started feeling unusual pains in his back and bladder.
36:57
Speaker 2: He began to recognize how damaging this ket addiction was.
37:00
Speaker 2: Developing alternative cistitis, which is the shedding of the bladder
37:06
Speaker 2: lining until it's effectively shrunken or destroyed. He said he
37:11
Speaker 2: began experiencing electric shock bladder pains, causing him to rake
37:15
Speaker 2: screaming in pain. Doctor said the five year addiction shredded
37:22
Speaker 2: his bladder so badly he could only hold seventy milliliters
37:25
Speaker 2: of yearine. That's less than a fifth of regular capacity,
37:27
Speaker 2: and damage tissue was often urinated out in fragments or
37:32
Speaker 2: lumps of blood. Cautionary tale, let's stay away from ketamine.

38:14
Speaker 2: will be there. Christopher Smithman and Money Monday's Brian James
38:17

38:20
Speaker 2: always enjoy hearing from smith Maman. He was on just

38:27
Speaker 2: Coming up bottom this hour, we got a special edition
38:29
Speaker 2: of Tech Friday on a Tuesday, so it's Tech Tuesday
38:32
Speaker 2: with Dave Hatter. Interest I says, Dave Hatter says how
38:35
Speaker 2: to not get scammed on Black Friday. Plus he apparently
38:39
Speaker 2: has some cool tech gadgets and gifts to recommend this year,
38:43
Speaker 2: and again I have to imagine they don't involve Internet
38:46
Speaker 2: of Things. We'll see one hour from now, Congressman Warren
38:49
Speaker 2: Davidson returns. We've got a multitude of topics, and since
38:51
Speaker 2: he served his country proudly, maybe we'll ask him about
38:54
Speaker 2: this idea that service members should refuse orders and a
38:58
Speaker 2: real gray area on that one, as we talked about yesterday.
39:02
Speaker 2: You know, it's one thing to say, don't you know,
39:05
Speaker 2: ignore illegal orders? What is illegal? In the context of
39:08
Speaker 2: this vagary that we have with regard to waging of war?
39:11
Speaker 2: What is illegal? If I ask you, is it illegal
39:15
Speaker 2: for Trump to blow up drug boats off the shores
39:18
Speaker 2: of Venezuela, and you say yes, and I ask you,
39:22
Speaker 2: what is the legal basis for your statement that it
39:26
Speaker 2: is legal? Then you got to engage in that conversation,
39:28
Speaker 2: don't you Did you get an opinion from lawyers that
39:30
Speaker 2: are versed in international law and laws of warfare like
39:33
Speaker 2: the Constitution? For example, I could ask you the same
39:38
Speaker 2: thing about maybe Vietnam. I don't know. Maybe there was
39:40
Speaker 2: an authorization for you some military force there, but it
39:42
Speaker 2: never was a war that was declared, even though we
39:45
Speaker 2: lost almost fifty five thousand US soldiers during that what
39:49
Speaker 2: i'll call war. So it's a very complicated, multi layered conversation.
39:54
Speaker 2: We have to have, and I'm of the mind that
39:57
Speaker 2: I don't think it's appropriate or right or lawf well
40:00
Speaker 2: personally for Trump to blow up boats off the coast
40:02
Speaker 2: of Venezuela and we have no declaration of war there
40:05
Speaker 2: or even an authorization for you some military force. We
40:08
Speaker 2: can argue about it, but it hasn't been resolved, you see,
40:10
Speaker 2: So what is lawful? Maybe docgor SMC. Davison can offer
40:14
Speaker 2: insight into that. BRIGHA mccow and Hudson Institute's Brigham McCowan

Speaker 2: to tech editor Colin Maydan about Musk and his new
40:30
Speaker 2: awesome feature on X. I talked about it the last hour.
40:32
Speaker 2: You now know where the people are posting from, or
40:35
Speaker 2: you now know that a Trump maga supporting X account
40:39
Speaker 2: is actually a guy in Bangladesh, among other revelations stirring
40:43
Speaker 2: the pot division in our country. Thank you foreign actors.
40:46
Speaker 2: At least thank you Elon Musk. One of multitudes of
40:49
Speaker 2: social media platforms is at least letting you know where
40:52
Speaker 2: the people are who are stirring the potted division. Plus
40:56
Speaker 2: Meta shut down its own internal analysis and research showing
41:00
Speaker 2: it well that this social media stuff is really dangerous
41:05
Speaker 2: for users. The Daniel Davis Deep Die following Colin me
41:08
Speaker 2: and he'll come on at eight thirty. We've got a
41:10
Speaker 2: lot to talk about with him. So before I get
41:12
Speaker 2: to other topics, I got mad on the line. We'll
41:15
Speaker 2: see what Matt has to say. Matt, thanks for calling.
41:17
Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday to you.
41:19
Speaker 7: Oh morning, Ran. I was just sitting there doing a
41:21
Speaker 7: puzzle and I felt something crawing on my hand. It
41:24
Speaker 7: was a deer tick, so there's still Oh no, it was.
41:29
Speaker 7: I got rid of it. But anyway, just before warn
41:33
Speaker 7: everybody they're still out there.
41:34
Speaker 2: That's creepy.
41:35
Speaker 7: I want to comment on a couple of things you
41:39
Speaker 7: said articles usually yesterday. One of them was on healthcare,
41:43
Speaker 7: and I gotta say there I said, most of the
41:47
Speaker 7: problem with healthcare is our own doing.
41:50
Speaker 2: Yes.
41:51
Speaker 7: When I was when I was younger, my health was
41:55
Speaker 7: going it was okay, but it was starting to head
41:57
Speaker 7: in a you know, bad way. So I realize I
42:00
Speaker 7: got to stop this. So I studied and made changes.
42:06
Speaker 7: Now Here we go fifty years later. My health is
42:09
Speaker 7: really good. Whenever I do that annual physical and have
42:12
Speaker 7: the blood drawl, yeah, everything looks good. No prescription drawn.
42:16
Speaker 7: So that's you know, people need to I mean, I
42:20
Speaker 7: know it's hard to do, but believe me, in the
42:22
Speaker 7: long run, you're gonna be way better off.
42:25
Speaker 2: Matt. I couldn't agree with you more. That's one of
42:27
Speaker 2: the reasons I like what Robert F. Kennedy Junior is doing.
42:30
Speaker 2: Junior's doing talking about you know, what we put into
42:33
Speaker 2: our body now, I'm I don't want to gravitate toward vaccines.
42:35
Speaker 2: It's a very controversial topic. But what you are eating,
42:39
Speaker 2: processed foods, the type of the amount of sugars you
42:42
Speaker 2: put in your body, all of this, I mean, you
42:43
Speaker 2: really need to pay attention to that. And the healthier
42:45
Speaker 2: you are and the better you eat, the less likely
42:48
Speaker 2: it is you're going to have problems. Matt. I share
42:50
Speaker 2: with you the results of the blood tests and everything.
42:52
Speaker 2: I got four years in a row to look at
42:54
Speaker 2: the last time I had a physical, which was fairly recently,
42:56
Speaker 2: and I am infinitely better now than I was four
42:59
Speaker 2: years ago, just because I changed my diet. No, I
43:02
Speaker 2: haven't exercised yet, but I'll get around to that at
43:04
Speaker 2: some day. But see, it's just really important. Yeah, you
43:06
Speaker 2: want to stay as far away from the healthcare system
43:08
Speaker 2: as you can. And some suggested reading for you, Matt,
43:11
Speaker 2: to confirm what you obviously know. There's a great Epic
43:15
Speaker 2: or Epoch Times article by Shannon Stapleton November twenty third,
43:20
Speaker 2: dated headline Spiraling costs and Broken Insurance What went wrong
43:30
Speaker 2: with Obamacare subtitled mass subsidies, one side fits all system
43:34
Speaker 2: has pushed up prices across the board or across the
43:38
Speaker 2: broader medical insurance market. It's like a twenty page article
43:41
Speaker 2: breaking down, point by point how we got to the perilous, disgusting,
43:45
Speaker 2: failed place we are with America's healthcare. So if you
43:48
Speaker 2: want a little additional reading to dive on into the
43:50
Speaker 2: details on that, A strongly encourage It's Epic Times or
43:53
Speaker 2: Epoch Times dot com. Anyhow, here's the sorry state of affairs.
44:03
Speaker 2: I was talking with Tom earlier about being able to
44:05
Speaker 2: engage in logic and reason critical thinking skills when analyzing
44:08
Speaker 2: in the context of that Elon Musk showing you that, yes,
44:11
Speaker 2: the division is being stirred by foreign actors. In many,
44:13
Speaker 2: many cases, you have to be in a position to
44:15
Speaker 2: be able to analyze what you're reading. Are you in
44:17
Speaker 2: an echo chamber you just believe what you read, or
44:20
Speaker 2: are you going to put critical thinking skills to it?
44:22
Speaker 6: Well?
44:23
Speaker 2: Sadly, as I said to Tom, I doubt the children
44:25
Speaker 2: la critic or have critical thinking skills. They don't engage
44:28
Speaker 2: in critical thinking. They're just fed information and they're not
44:31
Speaker 2: challenged by their thoughts and opinions, and of course they
44:35
Speaker 2: don't challenge what's being fed to them. Pivot over to
44:38
Speaker 2: math horror show at UC San Diego. Go ahead, editorial
44:42
Speaker 2: board of The Wall Street Journal pointing out something really,
44:46
Speaker 2: really pathetic, but very revealing. University of California San Diego
44:53
Speaker 2: considered one of the nation's top public universities. Check out
44:55
Speaker 2: US News and World Report. They rank EC California San
44:59
Speaker 2: Diego number six, number six in college ranking. So how
45:07
Speaker 2: comes this new University of California San Diego Faculty and
45:12
Speaker 2: Administration Committee regarding student preparation report notes quote Over the
45:19
Speaker 2: past five years, you see, San Diego has experienced a
45:22
Speaker 2: steep decline in the academic preparation of its entering first
45:26
Speaker 2: year students, particularly in mathematics, but also in writing and
45:29
Speaker 2: language skills. This trend poses serious challenges both to student
45:33
Speaker 2: success and in the university's instructional Mission Journalis says that's
45:39
Speaker 2: an understatements. Do college students even know what these words mean?
45:46
Speaker 2: Here's the fun facts, folks. One in eight of number
45:50
Speaker 2: six rank you see, San Diego freshmen have math skills that,
45:55
Speaker 2: in the words of the report from the faculty, fall
45:58
Speaker 2: below middle school level middle school a thirtyfold increase since
46:07
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Average high school math GPA was an a
46:11
Speaker 2: minus for students taking a middle school remedial course to
46:16
Speaker 2: suggest rampid grade inflation in high schools. Oh no, really
46:20
Speaker 2: effects exactly a bit of a The UC Board of
46:22
Speaker 2: Regents move in May of twenty twenty to stop requiring
46:25
Speaker 2: the SAT in the name of making admissions more equitable
46:28
Speaker 2: and improving educational quality. All those pesky SAT scores earlier.
46:33
Speaker 2: Faculty Senate report note of the SAT and act, in
46:36
Speaker 2: their words, adds substantially to UC's ability to predict student success.
46:41
Speaker 2: It's a predictive thing, folks. It also confirms the failure
46:46
Speaker 2: of K through twelve education. Yeah, your teacher can give
46:49
Speaker 2: you an a little Johnny, but go ahead take an
46:53
Speaker 2: independent test. Take the SAT of the act. We'll see
46:56
Speaker 2: if that a stands up to a little bit of scrutiny.
46:58
Speaker 2: It's math T two is always four. There's the equation.
47:02
Speaker 2: Work it out. This isn't some subjective, politically based thing.
47:05
Speaker 2: It's pure simple two and two is four mathematics. There
47:08
Speaker 2: is one answer. One answer is right, and the other
47:10
Speaker 2: answers are, oh, that's right wrong U see San Diego
47:15
Speaker 2: report corroborates or corroborates worries that scrapping the SAT would
47:18
Speaker 2: erode a mission standard, noting that a mismatch between student
47:22
Speaker 2: course level and grades and their actual levels of preparation.
47:25
Speaker 2: In other words, they don't have the foundational skills to
47:27
Speaker 2: even be in college. This report from the UC University
47:34
Speaker 2: of California also blames the university's increased admission of students
47:37
Speaker 2: from what they call under resourced high schools. General describes
47:42
Speaker 2: this as a euphemism for schools with more minorities and
47:45
Speaker 2: low income students. What the report doesn't say is that
47:48
Speaker 2: the university may have increased admissions from these under resourced
47:52
Speaker 2: high schools in an effort to circumvent the state ban
47:55
Speaker 2: on racial preferences, and there is one. Declining student preparation
48:00
Speaker 2: Here's widespread at the state's university is about half of
48:04
Speaker 2: the UC campus. Math chairs say that, in their words,
48:08
Speaker 2: the number of first year students that are unable to
48:11
Speaker 2: start in college level pre calculus doubled over the last
48:17
Speaker 2: five years. College level pre calculus was used to be there,
48:23
Speaker 2: used to be a standard course for California's top high
48:25
Speaker 2: school sophomores. Huh, they don't do that anymore. Twenty thirteen,
48:32
Speaker 2: California started it down the slippery slope of declining standards
48:35
Speaker 2: by dropping algebra as a requirement for eighth graders. Now
48:39
Speaker 2: many of its top college students can't even add fractions.
48:43
Speaker 2: Politicians blame rising unemployment among recent college grads on artificial intelligence.
48:49
Speaker 2: In the journal's opinion, maybe the real problem is the
48:52
Speaker 2: not so soft bigotry of ever lower expectations. Well amen,
49:01
Speaker 2: middle school, I mean, think about that. The number six
49:07
Speaker 2: rank college and whatever you you know, US news and
49:09
Speaker 2: war reports say me you want about it, Oh, it's
49:11
Speaker 2: a bunch of fabrications. They do this every year. It
49:13
Speaker 2: is relied upon. But out of all the colleges they
49:15
Speaker 2: come in at number six. One in eight can't do
49:17
Speaker 2: middle school math. How in the hell do they get
49:19
Speaker 2: in there in the first place. All there's that pesky
49:21
Speaker 2: act SAT thing that we don't require anymore because I
49:25
Speaker 2: don't know it's predictive of college performance. But we need
49:29
Speaker 2: to let a people, a bunch of people in who
49:31
Speaker 2: are incapable of well performing in a college level, but
49:34

Speaker 2: you can celebrate the Flying Spaghetti Monster, my friend, Eric,
51:06
Speaker 2: My I think atheist friend, maybe agnostic either way. Good man, though,
51:12
Speaker 2: and you may be wondering why the Justice Department's cases
51:17
Speaker 2: against FBI Director James Comy and New York Attorney General
51:21
Speaker 2: Letitia James got thrown out the other day, and it
51:23
Speaker 2: makes perfect sense. Do I believe the cases were valid?
51:27
Speaker 2: Do I think they were justifiable? Yes, But sadly, Lindsay
51:32
Speaker 2: Halligan wasn't properly appointed as a federal prosecutor, and therefore
51:36
Speaker 2: the court concluded Lindsay Halligan had no authority to indict
51:40
Speaker 2: these two folks. Under the law, when the US Attorney's
51:43
Speaker 2: office becomes vacant vacant, the president can temporarily fill the job.
51:47
Speaker 2: Only one hundred and twenty days after that time, the
51:51
Speaker 2: district Court is supposed to get the power to fill
51:54
Speaker 2: the role. Now, the reason we had this, Congress wrote
51:57
Speaker 2: the law to ensure the Justice Department wouldn't be left
51:59
Speaker 2: short handed while protecting the Senate's advice and consent power
52:03
Speaker 2: over nominee. So you get this little window and basically
52:06
Speaker 2: in times of emergencies a little like government shutdowns.
52:08
Speaker 1: Maybe.
52:09
Speaker 2: So January, after the inauguration, Eric Siebert was named as
52:14
Speaker 2: the interim prosecutor for Eastern Virginia. But after that three month,
52:17
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty day term was set to expire,
52:20
Speaker 2: the judges of the district chose to retain him, but
52:22
Speaker 2: he wasn't actually keyed up about indicting Comy and James,
52:29
Speaker 2: so he stepped down, after which Miss Halligan was appointed
52:35
Speaker 2: to the position. Well. Ms Sebert's exit gave Trump the
52:42
Speaker 2: opportunity to name another interim prosecutor for a new three
52:44
Speaker 2: month term. That was the Trump position, the administration's position,
52:48
Speaker 2: But apparently that's not what the law says. According to
52:50
Speaker 2: the judge yesterday, Judge Cameron McGowan Curry, the interpretation would
52:54
Speaker 2: have let the President evade the Senate confirmation process indefinitely
52:58
Speaker 2: by stacking successes one hundred and twenty day appointments, and
53:01
Speaker 2: that makes perfect sense. You can circumvent the Senate's advice
53:04
Speaker 2: and consent. Vacancy law is designed to temporarily fill in,
53:09
Speaker 2: not engage in Senate circumvision. That's what the judge said.
53:13
Speaker 2: So Halligan has been unlawfully serving. According to the judge conclusion,
53:18
Speaker 2: her efforts on indicting Comy and James were unlawful exercises
53:21
Speaker 2: of executive power. So now can the Trump administration refile
53:25
Speaker 2: the charges? Yes? Can the Trump administration appeal this ruling, Yes,
53:29
Speaker 2: it could, But based on the logic of the ruling,
53:31
Speaker 2: I don't think they stand a good chance on that because, well,
53:35
Speaker 2: you can see another administration doing the same thing, but
53:38
Speaker 2: you've got a statute of limitations issue that may expire
53:42
Speaker 2: in the case of mister Comy. So going after that
53:47
Speaker 2: one Comee's going to move to dismiss on the grounds
53:49
Speaker 2: that he's protected by the statute of limitations. At least
53:51
Speaker 2: that's the writing on the wall. I'm not happy with
53:55
Speaker 2: the overall conclusion, but I do agree with it from
53:57
Speaker 2: a legal perspective. It makes actually perfect sense to me.

Speaker 2: best practices setting up systems, whatever it is you need.
56:10
Speaker 2: Dave and the crew at interest I are there for you.
56:13
Speaker 2: Dave Hatter, thank you for doing a special edition, an
56:16
Speaker 2: advanced early Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and

Speaker 2: everybody in trust It.
56:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. Always my pleasure buying and Happy Thanksgiving, Jim, your
56:24
Speaker 1: family and all your listeners.
56:26
Speaker 2: I don't want to I know it's not on the list.
56:28
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about how not to get scanned
56:29
Speaker 2: on Black Friday and cool tech gadgets. But if you
56:32
Speaker 2: got a moment or two, this Wall Street Journal article
56:35
Speaker 2: Georgia Wells writing teens are saying tearful goodbyes to their
56:38
Speaker 2: AI companions. Apparently one of the chat bot makers, called
56:42
Speaker 2: Character AI, is now limiting and cutting off teams from
56:45
Speaker 2: access to it. And the only reason I raised this
56:48
Speaker 2: I just it was disturbing to read what these young people,
56:52
Speaker 2: thirteen year olds for example, are talking about in terms
56:56
Speaker 2: of their interaction with and the amount of time they
56:58
Speaker 2: spend talking with artificial intelligence, creating characters that they kind
57:02
Speaker 2: of believe are real, and then now that they're being
57:05
Speaker 2: these are being taken away, they're struggling emotionally with dealing
57:09
Speaker 2: with this was lack of communication. This is all ones
57:12
Speaker 2: in Zero's Dave. They have no connection or no appreciation
57:15
Speaker 2: for the fact they're just talking to a computer, not
57:17
Speaker 2: a real living entity. This is scary stuff.
57:20
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, I agree, it is pretty scary. It's hard
57:24
Speaker 1: for me to understand how anyone thinks that when they're
57:28
Speaker 1: talking to some kind of chatbot that it's a real person. Now,
57:33
Speaker 1: you know, if you've used these things, you'll find that
57:36
Speaker 1: they will be conversational and they'll answer your questions, you know.
57:41
Speaker 1: But yeah, the idea that you're actually having a conversation
57:44
Speaker 1: with some sort of living being that it's your friend.
57:48
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to understand. Now, I'm not a teenager,
57:51
Speaker 1: so I don't know, you know, but it's it's a
57:54
Speaker 1: little crazy to see how impactful this stuff has been
57:58
Speaker 1: on young people at this point, and not just AI,
58:01
Speaker 1: went all the way back to social media. You know,
58:03
Speaker 1: there's now all true stud He's coming out talking about
58:05
Speaker 1: schemes and computers in the classroom and all this sort
58:08
Speaker 1: of stuff and how harmful it is. And you know,
58:11
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not really that surprised to see that
58:16
Speaker 1: having so many distractions thrown at you all the time
58:20
Speaker 1: is not very helpful to living well.
58:23
Speaker 2: So it isn't always just younger. This was even more disturbing.
58:27
Speaker 2: A guy named Jose Ignacio Tarrillo is cited in the
58:30
Speaker 2: article thirty four years Old, says even though this band
58:33
Speaker 2: won't apply to him because he's thirty four, he acknowledges
58:36
Speaker 2: it's really addictive. He says he hasn't been able to
58:39
Speaker 2: quit the character AI program even though he no longer
58:42
Speaker 2: enjoys the hours he chats with his fan fiction characters.
58:48
Speaker 2: Even at work. He takes his phone out every couple
58:50
Speaker 2: of hours to send a quick message to his chatbots.
58:54
Speaker 2: He said, I don't even have anything new to say.
58:57
Speaker 2: I don't know why I do it. So these are
59:00
Speaker 2: fake characters he's created, and he feels compelled to go
59:05
Speaker 2: issue a message to them even though he really has
59:08
Speaker 2: nothing to convey to them. It's like, I think he's
59:10
Speaker 2: operating the delusion that they're expecting to hear from him.
59:14
Speaker 2: It's a damn computer.
59:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's interesting, Brian, because along with those same lines,
59:20
Speaker 1: the New York Times just had an article what ope
59:22
Speaker 1: and AI did when chat gpt us just lost touch
59:24
Speaker 1: with the reality, and kind of along those same lines.
59:26
Speaker 1: So I'm reading directly from the article. Teas. One of
59:29
Speaker 1: the first signs came and Mark sam Altman, the chief
59:31
Speaker 1: executive and other time that leaders got an influx of
59:33
Speaker 1: punting emails from people who are having incredible conversations with
59:37
Speaker 1: chat tpt. These people said the company's AI chatbot understood
59:40
Speaker 1: there was no person ever had that was shedding light
59:42
Speaker 1: on the mysteries of the universe. Oh lord, Yeah, it's uh,
59:47
Speaker 1: you know that It goes on to say it was
59:48
Speaker 1: a warning that there's something wrong with the chat bot. Uh,
59:52
Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. It's you know, I think
59:56
Speaker 1: that this is just mine. I'm not a psychiatrist, and
59:58
Speaker 1: you know, I just I think what's happening is these
1:00:02
Speaker 1: things want to answer your questions. Again, one of the
1:00:04
Speaker 1: problems of hallucinations. They make things up, yes, and they
1:00:08
Speaker 1: will confidently tell you that something that's false is actually truly.
1:00:12
Speaker 1: And I think because they want to please you, they
1:00:14
Speaker 1: want to keep you using the site and so forth.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: You know, they tend to be echo chambers that tell
1:00:19
Speaker 1: you what you want to hear. And that's why people
1:00:21
Speaker 1: come away with this idea that or it knows me
1:00:24
Speaker 1: better than any other person. Well, because it's telling me
1:00:27
Speaker 1: what you want to hear, as opposed to perhaps the
1:00:29
Speaker 1: reality of a situation. So yeah, I don't know, it's
1:00:33
Speaker 1: not good. I don't have an answer for you. I
1:00:36
Speaker 1: don't know where this all goes in the long run.
1:00:38
Speaker 1: But when you see this sort of negative psychological effect
1:00:42
Speaker 1: this stuff is having on people, it's kind of disturbing.
1:00:46
Speaker 2: It is very disturbing. Most notably when they start to
1:00:49
Speaker 2: egg you on and encourage you to engage in criminal behavior.
1:00:52
Speaker 2: Self harm and even suicide has been well documented. You know,
1:00:55
Speaker 2: one of the folks that was interviewed on this, I
1:00:57
Speaker 2: think it was the guy who created this character AI
1:01:01
Speaker 2: program quote. The difficulty logging off doesn't mean something is
1:01:05
Speaker 2: wrong with the team. It means the tech worked exactly
1:01:09
Speaker 2: as designed. And that is a very revealing statement. Points
1:01:13
Speaker 2: out this is what they want, these tech companies. They
1:01:15
Speaker 2: want you to spend hours, I guess engaging with artificial
1:01:18
Speaker 2: intelligence for nefarious reasons. I don't know, but it's scary
1:01:21
Speaker 2: as how. I only bring this up day because there's
1:01:23
Speaker 2: parents out there, there's grandparents out there, maybe even young
1:01:26
Speaker 2: people out there that might not fully appreciate what's going on.
1:01:29
Speaker 2: But you know, you got to keep in mind the
1:01:30
Speaker 2: whole time you're not dealing with a real person. That
1:01:35
Speaker 2: in and of itself is enough to keep me from
1:01:37
Speaker 2: engaging in a conversation with him. Sorry, Dave took you
1:01:40
Speaker 2: down a road you weren't necessarily prepared for. No, you
1:01:44
Speaker 2: were prepared for it. How to not get scammed on
1:01:47
Speaker 2: Black Friday. We'll bring Dave back to talk about that
1:01:49
Speaker 2: one after I mentioned my dear friends at Cover Sincy
1:01:52
Speaker 2: just make the call. Maybe you just enrolled in your
1:01:56
Speaker 2: group plan from your employer, maybe you don't think it
1:01:59
Speaker 2: covers enough. And sure, John Rollman to the team at Covers,
1:02:01
Speaker 2: since you can point out all the what they call
1:02:03
Speaker 2: holes in the bucket of insurance. Those holes mean things
1:02:05
Speaker 2: that aren't covered. How about your out of pocket liability?
1:02:08
Speaker 2: You know you could add a very affordable layer of
1:02:11
Speaker 2: coverage up front to cover those expenses when you face
1:02:15
Speaker 2: them regular day to day type of medical expenses. Yes,
1:02:17
Speaker 2: you can do that and it's very very affordable. The
1:02:20
Speaker 2: point being John on the team working for you, they
1:02:22
Speaker 2: work with hundreds of different medical insurance companies out in
1:02:25
Speaker 2: the world, and there's more than Obamacare out there, and
1:02:28
Speaker 2: they allow that allows them to customize a plan that
1:02:30
Speaker 2: fits you, and it could be layered policies like I
1:02:33
Speaker 2: just mentioned the ultimate benefit thirty to sixty percent savings
1:02:37
Speaker 2: with better coverage. Yeah, and you get the team. Not
1:02:41
Speaker 2: only does this service not cost you any money at
1:02:44
Speaker 2: all once you are insured through Cover, since you get
1:02:47
Speaker 2: their team which will iron out any insurance problems you
1:02:49
Speaker 2: have down the road, like which policy do I use?
1:02:51
Speaker 2: That's a simple one. But if you get a claims denial,
1:02:54
Speaker 2: do you want to spend a couple of hours on
1:02:56
Speaker 2: the phone with an insurance company? Do you know what
1:02:57
Speaker 2: you're supposed to say, who you're supposed to ask for?
1:03:00
Speaker 2: Don't have to do that anymore, John and the team
1:03:01
Speaker 2: will take care of all those problems for you down
1:03:03
Speaker 2: the road, so free. I love that and it is
1:03:05
Speaker 2: a great, great service they're offering. So take them up
1:03:08
Speaker 2: on the challenge. See if they can do something better
1:03:10
Speaker 2: for you. It could in your to your financial benefit.
1:03:12
Speaker 2: Five to one three eight hundred call five one three
1:03:15
Speaker 2: eight hundred two two five five any state in the Union.
1:03:18
Speaker 2: You're hearing me, you can call them. They'll help you
1:03:20
Speaker 2: out online. You can start the process by filling the
1:03:22
Speaker 2: form out online. Cover sincy dot com. That's cover sincy
1:03:26
Speaker 2: dot com.
1:03:27
Speaker 4: This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.
1:03:36
Speaker 2: Sick forty one about krc A de talk station. Tech
1:03:42
Speaker 2: Friday on a Tuesday, So Tech Tuesday with Dave had
1:03:45
Speaker 2: our interest it dot com? All right, we know there
1:03:48
Speaker 2: are scammers, thanks to you, Dave. Maybe we've all been
1:03:50
Speaker 2: scammed ourselves, and it has a lot of it going
1:03:52
Speaker 2: on in there. But how do we avoid getting scammed
1:03:54
Speaker 2: on Black Friday? Specifically, all the sales are on and
1:03:58
Speaker 2: I guess don't issle online or something.
1:04:03
Speaker 1: Well, I think you know, Brian, I don't know if
1:04:05
Speaker 1: I go quite that far, because I'm sure that's how
1:04:06
Speaker 1: most people are going to shop.
1:04:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting it's.
1:04:10
Speaker 1: The old education and awareness and skepticism, you know. I
1:04:13
Speaker 1: don't know if you recall. I think we talked about
1:04:15
Speaker 1: this earlier this year, before Prime Day, a cybersecurity company
1:04:20
Speaker 1: had done some research and found somewhere around two hundred
1:04:23
Speaker 1: thousand fake websites set up to scam people around Amazon
1:04:28
Speaker 1: Prime Day. So again, I don't think the average person
1:04:32
Speaker 1: really understands how easy it is to spoof something. To
1:04:35
Speaker 1: make some spoof in general would be making something look real.
1:04:38
Speaker 1: It's safe, whether it's an email, a text message, a
1:04:41
Speaker 1: phone number, a whole website. It's really pretty easy, and
1:04:46
Speaker 1: you can do it at scale. Again, in something like
1:04:48
Speaker 1: three or four months, Ckily, two hundred thousand fake websites
1:04:51
Speaker 1: were set up around Prime Day, so you can expect
1:04:55
Speaker 1: a similar sort of approach to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
1:05:00
Speaker 1: And here's one headline from malware Byte Labs, a security company.
1:05:04
Speaker 1: Black Friday scammers offer fake gifts from big name brands
1:05:07
Speaker 1: into bank accounts, and you know, without getting too deep
1:05:12
Speaker 1: into the article, you know they talk about brands being
1:05:14
Speaker 1: impersonated or spoofed. They mentioned Walmart home depolos. And when
1:05:19
Speaker 1: you when you couple the spoofing with you know, people
1:05:22
Speaker 1: looking to get good deals. Let's see, Uh, you know
1:05:25
Speaker 1: when inflation is high, Uh, it's you know, it's easy
1:05:29
Speaker 1: to send out a billion emails. It's easy to follow
1:05:32
Speaker 1: that up with a billion text messages. Right. It costs
1:05:35
Speaker 1: virtually nothing for the bad guys to send out these
1:05:39
Speaker 1: very realistic looking emails and texts. You know, they're using
1:05:43
Speaker 1: AI to get rid of all the old school tells.
1:05:47
Speaker 1: Where the grammar is wrong, it doesn't lead right. You know,
1:05:51
Speaker 1: they can copy contents from the legitimate website of a retailer.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: So my point is this, the spoofing coupled with the
1:05:58
Speaker 1: ability to reach large vinds people, whether it's email, text,
1:06:01
Speaker 1: social media, some combination of all of the above makes
1:06:05
Speaker 1: it really easy for him. And once you understand that, right,
1:06:08
Speaker 1: then hopefully you'll say, Okay, I need to be a
1:06:10
Speaker 1: lot more skeptical on anything any kind of deal that
1:06:14
Speaker 1: I get right, regardless of how it came to me.
1:06:18
Speaker 1: And I need to be cautious before I find a
1:06:21
Speaker 1: deal that seems to be true and act on it,
1:06:23
Speaker 1: because you know, when you get right down to it,
1:06:25
Speaker 1: in some cases, you're going to hit a fake online store.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: It looks exactly like the real thing. Maybe the URL
1:06:32
Speaker 1: has just ever so slightly changed, there's one character or
1:06:35
Speaker 1: something that's different, and you know they're going to make
1:06:39
Speaker 1: it easy for you to either a get nothing. They
1:06:41
Speaker 1: just steal your money, b send you some sort of
1:06:44
Speaker 1: cheap knockoff product that's no good, or see possibly some
1:06:48
Speaker 1: combination of all of the above, including some kind of
1:06:51
Speaker 1: malware so they can steal all their usernames and passwords.
1:06:54
Speaker 1: Malware you know, think keystrokelogger sitting in the background capturing
1:07:00
Speaker 1: everything that you're doing. So it really is important to
1:07:04
Speaker 1: move slowly, be cautious, be skeptical. You know, if it
1:07:08
Speaker 1: seems too good to be true, it probably is. And
1:07:10
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you get something right, whether it's again, text, email, whatever,
1:07:16
Speaker 1: and you think it might be legit, you want to
1:07:18
Speaker 1: look into it. Don't click the links, don't call the numbers,
1:07:21
Speaker 1: you know you might be calling the number that's spoofed
1:07:25
Speaker 1: to somewhere, to some call center somewhere where you're going
1:07:28
Speaker 1: to get professional con artists on the phone. We will
1:07:31
Speaker 1: tell you whatever sort of lies they need to tell
1:07:33
Speaker 1: you to get your money. That's the other thing people
1:07:36
Speaker 1: don't understand. When you actually get on the phone with
1:07:39
Speaker 1: these people, you know they're essentially professional con artists, and
1:07:42
Speaker 1: in many cases, thanks to all the data it's been
1:07:45
Speaker 1: leaked about you that we talk about all the time,
1:07:47
Speaker 1: they mail enough about you it seems very credible and
1:07:50
Speaker 1: very realistic. So you know, go out of band, don't
1:07:53
Speaker 1: click the links, don't call the numbers, go to If
1:07:56
Speaker 1: you get an email for a deal that seems to
1:07:58
Speaker 1: be too good to be trueful, then you go to
1:08:01
Speaker 1: the Walmart website and see if you could find that
1:08:03
Speaker 1: deal there. You go, go to the Amazon website, go
1:08:06
Speaker 1: to the Target website. Whatever you know, go on, don't
1:08:09
Speaker 1: take debate, go on your own to the legitimate place,
1:08:12
Speaker 1: and you know, move carefully.
1:08:14
Speaker 2: Perfect illustration of my son, for example, doing exactly what
1:08:18
Speaker 2: you recommend. Yesterday, I heard him on the phone. He
1:08:20
Speaker 2: works for what I'll loosely describe as a private equity
1:08:22
Speaker 2: for me. He does all their tech work and consolidation
1:08:24
Speaker 2: is systems and ordering and things. Anyway, working with I
1:08:28
Speaker 2: believe it was some foreign company and there was some
1:08:30
Speaker 2: email which had a PDF attached to it, and he thought,
1:08:34
Speaker 2: this seems out of the ordinary, this, this is not
1:08:37
Speaker 2: an appropriate response to what we were talking about in
1:08:40
Speaker 2: our relations, and so he immediately called the principles at
1:08:43
Speaker 2: the company and said, don't open that. I want to
1:08:45
Speaker 2: talk to the person who purportedly send it first to
1:08:47
Speaker 2: find out if it's real, because I really don't think
1:08:49
Speaker 2: it is. So there you go, raised eye, skepticism and concerned.
1:08:52
Speaker 2: Immediately call the appropriate people and tell them not to
1:08:56
Speaker 2: open it. So heed. The advice Dave had is always
1:09:00
Speaker 2: handed and out great advice. Speaking of advice, cool tech
1:09:03
Speaker 2: gadgets and gifts this year, we'll talk about that next.
1:09:05
Speaker 2: I wonder if any Internet of Things devices are in
1:09:08
Speaker 2: his list. More with Dave Hatter after Galaxy Concrete Code
1:09:12
Speaker 2: is again I mentioned for Galaxy, the project's done. My
1:09:14
Speaker 2: daughter in Eric's backpatio looks absolutely fantastic. Compared to what
1:09:18
Speaker 2: it looked like before, it looked terrible. There's no question
1:09:21
Speaker 2: about that, which is why mom and Dad get a
1:09:23
Speaker 2: little housewarming gift with the Galaxy Concrete Coatings covering. It's gorgeous.
1:09:27
Speaker 2: It transformed that ugly cracked, previously painted yet flaked off
1:09:32
Speaker 2: back patio, which is a prominent area of their home,
1:09:35
Speaker 2: into something that is really beautiful. It pops. It's gorgeous,
1:09:39
Speaker 2: and that could be any concrete surface that you have.
1:09:42
Speaker 2: See applications for homes, for example, garages, the patio I mentioned,
1:09:45
Speaker 2: pool decks, walkways, basement floors. How about commercial applications or
1:09:50
Speaker 2: industrial applications the factory flooring for example. Everything that's got
1:09:54
Speaker 2: plain old concrete, even deteriorated, is going to look magic
1:09:58
Speaker 2: and it comes with a lifetime guarant You never have
1:10:00

1:10:27
Speaker 2: All right, cool tech gadgets as we fast approach Black Friday,
1:10:32
Speaker 2: the holiday gift giving season, Dave, what are we talking
1:10:35
Speaker 2: about here?
1:10:37
Speaker 1: Let's start out with some tech adds. Son, it's so cool.
1:10:40
Speaker 1: So here's the headlines with you, Brian at letcgroups urge
1:10:43
Speaker 1: parents to avoid AI toys this holiday season.
1:10:46
Speaker 2: I saw that. I thought about you, even mentioned on
1:10:48
Speaker 2: the program earlier this week or yesterday in fact, Dave, Yes, yeah.
1:10:53
Speaker 1: I won't read the whole article, but you know it
1:10:55
Speaker 1: warns about that. And then along the same line, specific
1:10:58
Speaker 1: example ar powered Teddy Bear talking about sexual fetishes and
1:11:02
Speaker 1: instructing kids how to find knives.
1:11:04
Speaker 2: There you go.
1:11:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know before you buy your kids or
1:11:09
Speaker 1: grandkids any sort of Internet connected devices. You know, we've
1:11:13
Speaker 1: been talking about this off and on for years, going
1:11:15
Speaker 1: back maybe ten years. There was like a Mattel Barbie
1:11:17
Speaker 1: that caused the big start to record your kids conversations
1:11:21
Speaker 1: and do all kinds of things. You know, it's not
1:11:24
Speaker 1: just the potential danger of their kids talking to something
1:11:28
Speaker 1: like this that tells them how to go find knives.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: I was trying to find that there's a crazy quote
1:11:33
Speaker 1: in here. Here you go. This is from the toy
1:11:36
Speaker 1: Knives are usually kept in safe places to make sure
1:11:38
Speaker 1: everyone stay safe. You might find them in a kitchen
1:11:40
Speaker 1: drawer or a knife block on the countertop. It's always
1:11:42
Speaker 1: important to ask an adult when looking for knives so
1:11:44
Speaker 1: they can show you where they're stored. That apparently was
1:11:47
Speaker 1: an actual answer. I'm reading a quote from the article
1:11:50
Speaker 1: about it. This ai Teddy Bear saying, so again, I
1:11:55
Speaker 1: would encourage parents and grandparents to stay away from that
1:11:58
Speaker 1: sort of stuff for their kids. To mention with people
1:12:00
Speaker 1: working remotely, you know, you're plugging this stuff into your
1:12:03
Speaker 1: home network. It's creating all kinds of security holds. And yeah,
1:12:07
Speaker 1: that's that's always my concern with these Internet of Things devices, Brian,
1:12:10
Speaker 1: It's that you don't necessarily understand how to configure them
1:12:14
Speaker 1: correctly or understand the risk. But now on the tool
1:12:16
Speaker 1: side of things, you know, like more people need more
1:12:22
Speaker 1: power than ever. There's all kinds of power banks out there,
1:12:25
Speaker 1: you know, essentially batteries that you can charge up and
1:12:27
Speaker 1: take with you. And this is important not only because
1:12:32
Speaker 1: you need the power when you're out, but you know
1:12:34
Speaker 1: people will I mean I've seen it. I know people
1:12:37
Speaker 1: that will do this, they'll just basically plug into anything
1:12:39
Speaker 1: making fine to charge up their device and creating like
1:12:42
Speaker 1: a rental car or whatever where it sucks all your
1:12:44
Speaker 1: data into the intertainment centers. So if you have one
1:12:47
Speaker 1: of these power banks or Anchor is a big company
1:12:50
Speaker 1: that makes these sort of things, they're relatively inexpensive. You know,
1:12:54
Speaker 1: you can get one of these power banks and charge
1:12:58
Speaker 1: it up, take it with you and make sure that
1:12:59
Speaker 1: you always have power, whether it's through a laptop, phone, tablet,
1:13:04
Speaker 1: or whatever, without the need to be scrambled around trying
1:13:06
Speaker 1: to find a place where you can plug into some
1:13:08
Speaker 1: random charging for it where you know, we've talked about
1:13:12
Speaker 1: juice jacking before. I've had people try to argue with
1:13:15
Speaker 1: me if that's not real. But I can tell you
1:13:16
Speaker 1: they make special charging cables and so forth, but have
1:13:19
Speaker 1: tip to them that can interact with your device, so
1:13:22
Speaker 1: it's always good to be cautious. Something like that makes
1:13:25
Speaker 1: a good gift, especially for students or people who are
1:13:29
Speaker 1: needing to be on a computer or device on a
1:13:33
Speaker 1: regular basis. Another thing that I think is a pretty
1:13:36
Speaker 1: cool gift is an RFID blocking wallet. Well, yes, right,
1:13:42
Speaker 1: because you know we're increasingly in this space that you've
1:13:45
Speaker 1: got tap to pay NFC communications, And there's been a
1:13:47
Speaker 1: bunch of stories recently. You know, we've talked about skimmers
1:13:50
Speaker 1: in the past where they put them in like a
1:13:52
Speaker 1: point of sales system or something. But you know, now,
1:13:55
Speaker 1: if someone can get close enough to you, they can
1:13:57
Speaker 1: potentially read your credit card.
1:13:59
Speaker 2: That's scary. Show standing in line, the guy behind you
1:14:02
Speaker 2: with a reader can just you know, get up close
1:14:03
Speaker 2: to your wallet in your back bocket.
1:14:05
Speaker 1: Your Yeah, someone bumps into right. Oops, they bumped into you.
1:14:10
Speaker 1: And like the old school where they try to literally
1:14:12
Speaker 1: pick your pocket, here they're just doing it digitally. So uh,
1:14:15
Speaker 1: like this, this is a pretty interesting one. The Extor
1:14:18
Speaker 1: e K S T E R r f I D
1:14:20
Speaker 1: blocking leather wallet. Uh, it's got the r f I
1:14:24
Speaker 1: D coding to block the cars inside it. Uh. It
1:14:27
Speaker 1: can have an optional Bluetooth tracker because and then who
1:14:29
Speaker 1: hasn't lost the wallet at some point and wanted to
1:14:31
Speaker 1: find it. And it's kind of cool because it's powered
1:14:35
Speaker 1: by the sun, so it's it's uh, you don't need
1:14:38
Speaker 1: to barry in this thing for the tracking capability to work,
1:14:42
Speaker 1: so it's uh, it's pretty cool. There's a bunch of
1:14:44
Speaker 1: these things out there. They're not cheap. This particular one
1:14:46
Speaker 1: is one hundred bucks, but one hundred bucks will be
1:14:49
Speaker 1: a small price to pay to keep you from hand
1:14:51
Speaker 1: all your money stolen it from your bank accounts or
1:14:53
Speaker 1: your credit cards to charge to the max because you know,
1:14:56
Speaker 1: someone bumped into you. You know, all Apple watches and
1:15:00
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I'm not a big fan of those.
1:15:03
Speaker 1: You know, I got my phone on me all the time.
1:15:05
Speaker 1: Do I really need yet another device that tracked me?
1:15:08
Speaker 1: Probably not. Just looking through the list of some other
1:15:14
Speaker 1: interesting things here, you know, for me, Brian, I'm trying
1:15:16
Speaker 1: to avoid all of the Internet of Things devices. I
1:15:19
Speaker 1: don't have reels, I don't have nests in the stats.
1:15:22
Speaker 1: I don't want any more smart devices than I already
1:15:25
Speaker 1: have because the vast majority of them are basically privacy
1:15:30
Speaker 1: and security dumpster fires. You know, I don't have a rumba.
1:15:33
Speaker 1: I'm not going to buy any of that stuff anytime soon.
1:15:35
Speaker 1: Here's one Rebel smart Air Friar compact. Why do smart Air?
1:15:44
Speaker 1: Why do I need that? You know?
1:15:49
Speaker 2: Come on, okay, you know was at a time, Robert,
1:15:55
Speaker 2: I think that what you know.
1:15:57
Speaker 1: I would have thought one last thing, something that is
1:16:00
Speaker 1: worthwhile for a lot of people is like a Wi
1:16:02
Speaker 1: Fi extender. You know a lot of times people will
1:16:04
Speaker 1: have hot dead spots in their house or whatever. You know,
1:16:08
Speaker 1: you can buy a Wi Fi extender and in many
1:16:10
Speaker 1: cases fill those dead spots and get much better coverage
1:16:14
Speaker 1: in your building if you have something like that.
1:16:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to have a problem with that. I
1:16:17
Speaker 2: got one of those mesh systems, so I have like
1:16:19
Speaker 2: repeaters in the house, and so I never have a
1:16:21
Speaker 2: dead spot.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: Anymore, which is good. Which is good.
1:16:26
Speaker 2: Dave Hatter, we're out of time six fifty seven. Intrust
1:16:29
Speaker 2: it dot com. Rely on Dave and the crew at
1:16:32

1:16:55
Speaker 2: with six fifty eight. Be right back. It's seven six here.
1:17:12
Speaker 2: I fIF you've got Kerosene Detalk station. Very happy Tuesday
1:17:15
Speaker 2: to segue into Thanksgiving, the last day of the week,
1:17:18
Speaker 2: and happy to have as always, any day of the
1:17:20
Speaker 2: week's great day to have Congressman Warren Davidson, proudly representing
1:17:23
Speaker 2: the eighth District Heneral, Ohio, back on the program. Congressman Davidson,
1:17:27
Speaker 2: welcome back in and advanced early Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to
1:17:30
Speaker 2: you and your family.
1:17:33
Speaker 6: Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Brian. And what an
1:17:36
Speaker 6: eventful few days. I mean, I just spoke with you
1:17:38
Speaker 6: last Thursday, but there's.
1:17:39
Speaker 2: Been a lot going on. Uh yeah, it's really a
1:17:43
Speaker 2: question of where do we begin.
1:17:45
Speaker 6: Uh.
1:17:45
Speaker 2: You enlisted in the Army third Infantry. You then went
1:17:48
Speaker 2: to West Point, You then went to Ranger School. You
1:17:50
Speaker 2: were in the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment. You hundred and
1:17:53
Speaker 2: first Airborne Division. You know about the Military Code of Justice,
1:17:56
Speaker 2: what's legal and what is illegal? Or do you here's
1:17:59
Speaker 2: a question. We had this video that was issued by
1:18:01
Speaker 2: the Democrats, and I hope you don't mind me using
1:18:02
Speaker 2: this as the first topic to talk about, but I
1:18:05
Speaker 2: figure giving your proud military experience, you might be able
1:18:07
Speaker 2: to chime in on it. The Democrats, I think six
1:18:11
Speaker 2: of them, sent a video out which included a statement quote,
1:18:13
Speaker 2: right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
1:18:16
Speaker 2: from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws
1:18:18
Speaker 2: are clear. You military personnel can refuse illegal orders. You
1:18:22
Speaker 2: can refuse illegal orders. They said it twice. You must
1:18:24
Speaker 2: refuse illegal orders three times. What is an illegal order,
1:18:29
Speaker 2: Congressman Davidson, in the context of let's say, bombing Venezuela
1:18:32
Speaker 2: in boats, in ships, in international waters or elsewhere. That's
1:18:36
Speaker 2: one of the things I believe they were commenting on.
1:18:38
Speaker 2: Is a service member to know and do you or
1:18:41
Speaker 2: I even know if it's unlawful or lawful to blow
1:18:44
Speaker 2: up a boat off the shores of Venezuela right now?
1:18:46
Speaker 2: Don't you need illegal opinion or some sort of ruling
1:18:48
Speaker 2: from the Supreme Court because this is kind of outside
1:18:51
Speaker 2: of the realm of the Constitution, which says you have
1:18:53
Speaker 2: to have a declaration of war to wage war against
1:18:55
Speaker 2: a foreign country. Congressman Davidson, Well, there's a lot there,
1:19:00
Speaker 2: you know.
1:19:00
Speaker 1: Fundamentally.
1:19:01
Speaker 6: Uh, Look, these guys were trying to sew discord and
1:19:06
Speaker 6: u division within our military and frankly within our country
1:19:10
Speaker 6: they thought it would be kind of this cool video
1:19:13
Speaker 6: or it was actually more malicious than that, And it
1:19:16
Speaker 6: was frankly designed as an early stage of what you
1:19:20
Speaker 6: know is a known as a color revolution. This is
1:19:22
Speaker 6: how you do regime change operations. And a lot of
1:19:25
Speaker 6: these people know that, well, I mean some of them
1:19:27
Speaker 6: former CIA backgrounds that you know, this is a doctrinal thing.
1:19:32
Speaker 6: And if you if you define domestic enemies to the
1:19:36
Speaker 6: Constitution and then you use a battle cry don't give
1:19:40
Speaker 6: up the ship. Uh, well, there's a lot of implied
1:19:44
Speaker 6: things there, and you know, I think they're getting the
1:19:47
Speaker 6: scrutiny they've deserved for this. Does it does it amount
1:19:50
Speaker 6: to treason? I don't know. Does it amount to sedition?
1:19:55
Speaker 6: I'm not sure, but it sure does sound like it's
1:19:57
Speaker 6: more serious than the seditious conspiracy charges that people were
1:20:02
Speaker 6: sentenced to long sentences in jail with under underwrite. And
1:20:06
Speaker 6: so does it count a seditious conspiracy?
1:20:08
Speaker 1: I don't know.
1:20:09
Speaker 6: Maybe, But is it really dumb? Absolutely really dumb? And
1:20:13
Speaker 6: it was meant to divide our country in our military
1:20:16
Speaker 6: and that it certainly has.
1:20:17
Speaker 8: So, Look, these.
1:20:19
Speaker 6: Aren't good people. I mean, when you look at their backgrounds.
1:20:22
Speaker 6: Yet Okay, they served their country. And that's what I
1:20:24
Speaker 6: always teld people. Hey, being a veteran's awesome. You should
1:20:27
Speaker 6: serve your country if you can. It's one of the
1:20:30
Speaker 6: best decisions I made in my life was to join
1:20:31
Speaker 6: the army. But let's be clear, being a veteran does
1:20:34
Speaker 6: not inoculate you from being dumb, and we just saw
1:20:38
Speaker 6: that with that video.
1:20:40
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for whatever reason, Bob McDonald's I went to
1:20:43
Speaker 2: West Point comment just went through my mind when you
1:20:46
Speaker 2: made that last day in Congressman Davidson. Anyhow, so I
1:20:50
Speaker 2: guess you know going back to does this constitute seditious behavior?
1:20:54
Speaker 2: You don't know. I don't know that requires a legal determination. Again,
1:20:57
Speaker 2: when pressed on all the television programs of the talking heads,
1:21:01
Speaker 2: each of the individuals who were involved in this video
1:21:03
Speaker 2: couldn't cite a single illustration of an unlawful order that
1:21:07
Speaker 2: Trump allegedly has made. So I think they got backed
1:21:09
Speaker 2: into the corner on that one. But your point is
1:21:12
Speaker 2: well taken, Congressman Davidson.
1:21:15
Speaker 6: Well, thanks, Look, I always tell people, Look, when you
1:21:17
Speaker 6: first get to basic training, make sure you tell the
1:21:20
Speaker 6: drill sergeant all the things you're not gonna do. It'll
1:21:23
Speaker 6: really help you get clear on how it works.
1:21:28
Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome. Congress and Davidson. The other thing I
1:21:32
Speaker 2: wanted to bring up, and I wanna catch you off
1:21:33
Speaker 2: guard because I want to hear what you are prime
1:21:36
Speaker 2: to talk about this morning in terms of all the
1:21:37
Speaker 2: events that are happening. I saw this bizarre comment, and
1:21:39
Speaker 2: of course coming from James Carville, you'd expect it to
1:21:42
Speaker 2: be bizarre. They he wants the Democrats to engage in
1:21:45
Speaker 2: what he called pure economic rage. This is what they're
1:21:48
Speaker 2: going to run on. He said, It's time for Democrats
1:21:50
Speaker 2: who embrace the sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic and altogether unmistakable
1:21:55
Speaker 2: platform of pure economic rage. This is our only way
1:21:59
Speaker 2: out of the abyss. He's, of course, focusing on inflation.
1:22:02
Speaker 2: I know Donald Trump campaigned on lowering inflation, and he
1:22:05
Speaker 2: said he was going to try to lower it. That's
1:22:06
Speaker 2: a very complicated thing to engage in, but I guess
1:22:11
Speaker 2: economic rage. Is there anything the administration can do to
1:22:15
Speaker 2: cope with inflation practically speaking? Because this clearly is going
1:22:19
Speaker 2: to be a dominant part of the conversation as we
1:22:21
Speaker 2: move into next year of the fall election.
1:22:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:22:25
Speaker 6: I mean, look, rage bait is their whole program. And
1:22:28
Speaker 6: you know they're they're even raging at this.
1:22:30
Speaker 1: Uh.
1:22:31
Speaker 6: You know doctor a psychiatrist who says, look, people are
1:22:34
Speaker 6: coming in TDS is real. These people can't cope. They
1:22:37
Speaker 6: have Trump derangement syndrome. They're wrecking their own lives, their
1:22:41
Speaker 6: relationships with friends and family as they obsess about Donald Trump.
1:22:45
Speaker 6: And that is the Democrat platform is, you know, get Trump,
1:22:49
Speaker 6: and I think that's going to be their focus. And look,
1:22:51
Speaker 6: if the economy gives you any any handle to pull on,
1:22:56
Speaker 6: they'll use that. If there's anything else that they can
1:22:58
Speaker 6: grab on to, they'll use that. But it is one
1:23:00
Speaker 6: hundred percent Trump is their platform anti Trump. And so look,
1:23:05
Speaker 6: is the economy strong. I mean, here's the challenge about
1:23:10
Speaker 6: the top ten percent of earners are driving about fifty
1:23:13
Speaker 6: percent of the consumption in our economy. You know, so
1:23:16
Speaker 6: it is healthy on one end, and the end that
1:23:19
Speaker 6: it's healthy on is people that already have assets. You
1:23:21
Speaker 6: already own your home, you've got a retirement account, you've
1:23:24
Speaker 6: got a job that the wages are maybe keeping up
1:23:27
Speaker 6: with inflation or insulating you a little better. More disposable
1:23:30
Speaker 6: income you know, things are you know, relatively good there,
1:23:34
Speaker 6: but you know, you look at people that don't have assets,
1:23:37
Speaker 6: that are trying to be first time home buyers, that
1:23:40
Speaker 6: are in a situation where they're living paycheck to paycheck. Yeah,
1:23:43
Speaker 6: the rate of increases drop. That's where inflation is lower,
1:23:47
Speaker 6: but the price level is still very high and wages
1:23:49
Speaker 6: haven't kept up with that. And frankly, the solution a
1:23:52
Speaker 6: lot of my colleagues offer is, well, if you care,
1:23:55
Speaker 6: then you give subsidies. More government is always the answer,
1:23:58
Speaker 6: and we're suffering from a fall over to us a government.
1:24:01
Speaker 6: I mean, what causes inflation. It's massively more spending going
1:24:04
Speaker 6: into the economy, and the things that you subsidize get
1:24:08
Speaker 6: inflated faster than the rest of the economy. So, yeah,
1:24:11
Speaker 6: fair point. If you get the subsidy, it is lower
1:24:15
Speaker 6: for you, but it raises the overall price level for
1:24:18
Speaker 6: everyone else, and it turns into this endless spiral of well,
1:24:21
Speaker 6: then we'll have to increase the subsidies. And that's exactly
1:24:24
Speaker 6: what's going on with Obamacare.
1:24:25
Speaker 2: Well, indeed, I'm glad you pivoted over to Obamacare. It's
1:24:28
Speaker 2: what kept the government shut downs along the extension of
1:24:30
Speaker 2: these subsidies for people who probably could afford a premium.
1:24:33
Speaker 2: But oh, law and behold, maybe not with the massive
1:24:36
Speaker 2: increase in Obamacare premiums because of the massive influx of
1:24:40
Speaker 2: people who were pre existing condition they just join Obamacare
1:24:44
Speaker 2: after they've been diagnosed with a pretty significant illness. That
1:24:46
Speaker 2: is just driven the costs into just impossible to manage amounts.
1:24:51
Speaker 2: That's the problem in the failure with Obamacare right there.
1:24:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean fundamentally it was designed to work
1:24:58
Speaker 6: that way. I mean Republican said it was, and you know,
1:25:02
Speaker 6: Democrats have been united behind well, Obamacare is their checkdown policy.
1:25:06
Speaker 6: What they really want is Medicare for all. Medicare this
1:25:11
Speaker 6: is delivery, the delivery vehicle for it. Because the government
1:25:14
Speaker 6: just keeps eating a larger and larger portion of the
1:25:19
Speaker 6: spend and healthcare. I mean, when the Great Society launched
1:25:22
Speaker 6: back in the sixties under Lyndon Johnson and more government
1:25:27
Speaker 6: for more things, healthcare was about six percent of the economy.
1:25:31
Speaker 6: Now it's almost twenty twenty four percent of the economy
1:25:34
Speaker 6: is healthcare. And of that huge percentages of government. The
1:25:38
Speaker 6: single largest expense for the federal government is healthcare, and
1:25:43
Speaker 6: the rate of growth is just eating the world on that,
1:25:46
Speaker 6: And of the things you could do with the money,
1:25:49
Speaker 6: the dumbest is send it to the health insurance companies, right,
1:25:51
Speaker 6: I mean, you can send it to the doctors and hospitals.
1:25:54
Speaker 6: They're the ones that are providing the care and they
1:25:56
Speaker 6: ultimately need it. So you could straight pipe it to
1:25:58
Speaker 6: the doctors and hospitals, or you can send it to
1:26:00
Speaker 6: the consumer that's actually getting treated. But you send it
1:26:04
Speaker 6: to this middleman, and the middleman's still giving you double
1:26:07
Speaker 6: digit increases. They're still saying, well, this is out a network.
1:26:10
Speaker 6: There's still denying claims, and there's still just terrible service overall.
1:26:16
Speaker 6: So you go deal with the doctors and nurses and
1:26:18
Speaker 6: you feel like, how these people really care. They're doing
1:26:20
Speaker 6: great stuff.
1:26:20
Speaker 8: You look at the things.
1:26:22
Speaker 6: Obamacare is by design, in my opinion, a disaster. But
1:26:25
Speaker 6: either way, let's say it's got the most noble intentions,
1:26:28
Speaker 6: it still isn't working. And so people away say, well,
1:26:31
Speaker 6: where's the Republican plan? They've been daried. I mean, we've
1:26:34
Speaker 6: got dozens of proposals that are out there. I've got
1:26:37
Speaker 6: several myself. I've always wanted a healthcare committee so that
1:26:41
Speaker 6: every single hearing is on healthcare, and it's almost twenty
1:26:43
Speaker 6: percent of the economy. There's no excuse for not having that.
1:26:46
Speaker 6: Maybe we'll finally get it, but we'll at least get
1:26:49
Speaker 6: the debate. I hope between now and Christmas, let us
1:26:52
Speaker 6: debate further with Congressman Davidson. Congressman Davidson will do it.
1:26:55
Speaker 6: Congressman's choice on the next topic. I know there's a
1:26:58
Speaker 6: lot of things you want to talk about. Find it
1:27:00
Speaker 6: amount of time this morning, but we'll hear what Congressman
1:27:02
Speaker 6: Davison has to say after these brief words. Starting with
1:27:05
Speaker 6: Plum Type Plumbing, it's always plumbing done right. When you
1:27:07
Speaker 6: call my friends at Plum Type Plumbing, they know you
1:27:09
Speaker 6: deserve better. Delivering on better with better customer service starts
1:27:13
Speaker 6: with you knowing in advance they do not charge a
1:27:15
Speaker 6: service fee, so when they come over, they'll give you
1:27:17
Speaker 6: a free estimate. It's always going to be fair and
1:27:19
Speaker 6: ethical pricing with Plum Type Plumbing. And when it comes
1:27:22
Speaker 6: to getting that water heater replaced, don't replace it with
1:27:24
Speaker 6: a tank, go tankless modern technology. It'll save you money,
1:27:28
Speaker 6: save you a lot of space, and provide you with
1:27:30
Speaker 6: endless hot water. You don't have a tank to dry out.
1:27:33
Speaker 6: It just keeps churning it out as long as the
1:27:34
Speaker 6: hot water spiggo's on. Amazing sewer line replacement. Don't go
1:27:38
Speaker 6: with the other guys. Plumb type plumbing does trenchless sewer
1:27:41
Speaker 6: line repair and replacements. You don't have that landscaping problem
1:27:44
Speaker 6: and the big mass associated with the other guys digging
1:27:46
Speaker 6: down to get to it for all residential plumbing needs.
1:27:49
Speaker 6: Been around since old nineteen ninety nine.
1:27:51
Speaker 2: I believe a plus with a BBB well deserved online
1:27:55
Speaker 2: it's plum tight, tite, plump tight dot com the number
1:27:58
Speaker 2: five one three seven two seven eighty four eighty three

Speaker 2: five one three seven two seven tight.
1:28:04
Speaker 4: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station seven.
1:28:08
Speaker 2: Twenty here if you've got KERCD talk station. Happy Tuesday.
1:28:10
Speaker 2: Congressman Warren Davidson on the program. I know there's a
1:28:13
Speaker 2: million things we could talk about, Congressman Davidson kind of
1:28:16
Speaker 2: what's uh, you know, what's what's on your mind of
1:28:18
Speaker 2: what you might want to bring to my listeners and
1:28:19
Speaker 2: my attention.
1:28:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, thanks, Brian. I think one of the biggest
1:28:23
Speaker 6: things is what is Congress doing? I mean, you know,
1:28:25
Speaker 6: you'd go to Congress and you're sitting here looking at
1:28:28
Speaker 6: President Trump getting executive orders, all kinds of executive actions,
1:28:32
Speaker 6: and people are like, well, why aren't we codifying President
1:28:34
Speaker 6: Trump's executive orders? And you know, some of that frustration
1:28:38
Speaker 6: was voiced by Marjorie Taylor Green with her resignation, and
1:28:42
Speaker 6: I think a lot of my colleagues feel that sense
1:28:45
Speaker 6: of frustration, and it's you know, where's the play call?
1:28:49
Speaker 6: And I remember when I was first in Congress back
1:28:51
Speaker 6: in you know, twenty seventeen, I replaced speaker Bainer came in,
1:28:55
Speaker 6: Paul Ryan was speaker, and I had this little booklet
1:28:58
Speaker 6: called a Better Way. They had. It was basically the
1:29:00
Speaker 6: offensive playbook. Here's the things we're going to do. And
1:29:02
Speaker 6: people say, well, why aren't you doing XYZ? And I go, well,
1:29:06
Speaker 6: I don't know, but there's a place he here's the
1:29:08
Speaker 6: bullet points, and you could say this is a plan
1:29:11
Speaker 6: right now. There are a lot of things where it's like, well,
1:29:13
Speaker 6: we didn't even have the playbook for some of this stuff,
1:29:16
Speaker 6: and when we do, there's a coalition of folks that
1:29:19
Speaker 6: sort of say, well, let's not do that. And some
1:29:22
Speaker 6: of it's the administration some of the things that they
1:29:24
Speaker 6: want to do, Like, for example, look, I think it's fine.
1:29:27
Speaker 6: It's a preemptive strike to take out drug boats in
1:29:30
Speaker 6: the Caribbean. Seems like you say, hey, you should get authorization. Great,
1:29:33
Speaker 6: let's just do the authorization. I'm for it. These guys
1:29:36
Speaker 6: are bringing infentanyl that are killing people right here in Ohio.
1:29:39
Speaker 6: To me, it's a preemptive strike. They plan it on
1:29:41
Speaker 6: killing Americans. We're going to stop them from doing it.
1:29:44
Speaker 6: And you know, do I feel that way about every
1:29:47
Speaker 6: kind of drug that's going on. No, but these cartels
1:29:51
Speaker 6: are to me enemies of our country. They've been designated
1:29:55
Speaker 6: that way, and I think they're legitimate targets. But let's
1:29:57
Speaker 6: have the debate on the floor. Administration concerned that if
1:30:00
Speaker 6: we do that, well, then it might imply they don't
1:30:02
Speaker 6: have the authority to do whatever they want and that
1:30:05
Speaker 6: would disrupt what they're actually doing. So you have that
1:30:08
Speaker 6: on issue after issue. At the border, we've got a
1:30:10
Speaker 6: secure border. Where are the laws that change this and
1:30:14
Speaker 6: codify it. A lot of times they don't want to
1:30:16
Speaker 6: bring those up because they're afraid they'll fail, or in
1:30:19
Speaker 6: some cases we've passed bills in the House and they're
1:30:22
Speaker 6: waiting on sixty votes in the Senate. We just saw
1:30:24
Speaker 6: how important sixty votes is to get something through the
1:30:27
Speaker 6: Senate with the shutdown. But if you break the filibuster,
1:30:33
Speaker 6: now you can't use that excuse anymore. You've got to vote.
1:30:35
Speaker 6: And honestly, some of the Senators don't want to vote.
1:30:38
Speaker 2: Hiding behind the filibusters so they don't have to go
1:30:41
Speaker 2: on record.
1:30:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that definitely happens. And of course anyone
1:30:46
Speaker 6: senator can kind of put their thumb on a bill
1:30:49
Speaker 6: and hold it up and cause delays and everything. They've
1:30:51
Speaker 6: got their own process. But there are a host of
1:30:55
Speaker 6: reasons why everybody's frustrated right now. And I think the
1:30:58
Speaker 6: other one may be the most common question gotten since
1:31:00
Speaker 6: I've been elected, as you know, when is someone going
1:31:03
Speaker 6: to jail? And I think that's why the Epstein thing
1:31:05
Speaker 6: resonates so much. People promised accountability for that, and in frankly,
1:31:10
Speaker 6: a lot of why Trump's you know, you know, big
1:31:12
Speaker 6: mad at Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green as they
1:31:14
Speaker 6: signed this discharge petition. Mike, I'm willing to work with
1:31:17
Speaker 6: the Committee of Jurisdiction here on the Oversight Committee they've
1:31:21
Speaker 6: been releasing documents. I think Pam Bondy's released some documents.
1:31:25
Speaker 6: It doesn't help to say that it's a hoax and
1:31:27
Speaker 6: nothing when on the one hand, everybody was going to
1:31:30
Speaker 6: go to jail that was doing it, and it was
1:31:32
Speaker 6: a huge scandal. The binders were handed out to journalists
1:31:35
Speaker 6: and then it just in a matter of weeks disappears, like,
1:31:39
Speaker 6: where's the explanation for that? That hearing should have happened.
1:31:42
Speaker 6: It was supposed to during the shutdown. I think it's
1:31:45
Speaker 6: back on tap for January. But people need an answer
1:31:48
Speaker 6: for that. And there's no prosecutor in the in the
1:31:50
Speaker 6: legislative branch, right we keep unearthing all this rage bait
1:31:54
Speaker 6: for people, and people say, well, what's Congress.
1:31:56
Speaker 2: Going to do?
1:31:56
Speaker 6: Well, you know about it because we had the hearings.
1:31:59
Speaker 6: We've made this stuff public. But the prosecutor is the
1:32:02
Speaker 6: attorney general. So I would love a hearing, and I've
1:32:05
Speaker 6: told Jim Jordan, the Chairman of Judiciary, this would be
1:32:08
Speaker 6: the hearing for me. Don't just bring Pam Bondy in.
1:32:12
Speaker 6: Bringing Merrick Garland, who was attorney general for Joe Biden.
1:32:15
Speaker 6: No one had any questions for him, No one had
1:32:17
Speaker 6: any questions for Joe Biden, why didn't Merrick Garland bring
1:32:20
Speaker 6: the case? Go back to the previous administration, Bill Barr
1:32:23
Speaker 6: and Jeff's sessions were Donald Trump's attorney general's his first term,
1:32:28
Speaker 6: and then go back before that and look at Eric Holder.
1:32:31
Speaker 6: I would bring every one of those attorneys general. So
1:32:33
Speaker 6: this is a scandal that's been going on in the
1:32:35
Speaker 6: news for you know, ten fifteen years at this point,
1:32:40
Speaker 6: why was there never a case? Brun and have every
1:32:43
Speaker 6: single one of those attorneys general give an answer. I
1:32:45
Speaker 6: think that would be a good hearing. But here's the thing,
1:32:48
Speaker 6: at the end of the day, no matter what comes
1:32:50
Speaker 6: out of that, people are still going to be going
1:32:52
Speaker 6: when somebody going to jail, and that's the job of
1:32:56
Speaker 6: the Attorney general and the US attorneys around the country.
1:32:59
Speaker 6: So they need to be bringing cases, evidence presented at trial,
1:33:03
Speaker 6: convictions in jail time. Because it's clear that there's a
1:33:06
Speaker 6: kind of double standard on this. And I will say
1:33:09
Speaker 6: Congress has exposed a lot of this, but that's why
1:33:11
Speaker 6: the frustrations there is. Congress did expose it, but what
1:33:14
Speaker 6: are we supposed to do about it? And at the
1:33:16
Speaker 6: end of the day, we could change the funding. We
1:33:18
Speaker 6: could change some of the rules, we could remove judges,
1:33:21
Speaker 6: we could do some things. I don't want to say
1:33:23
Speaker 6: we're powerless here, but you know, it's in action in
1:33:28
Speaker 6: certain elements of the executive branch, and inaction and components
1:33:31
Speaker 6: of the legislative branch. And I think people are rightly frustrated.
1:33:33
Speaker 2: Well and just lying in the sand division between the
1:33:36
Speaker 2: two party system we have if one side proposes it
1:33:40
Speaker 2: as glorious and brilliant and bipartisan as it would be,
1:33:43
Speaker 2: as it's sort of an objective observation of any proposal.
1:33:46
Speaker 2: Just because one side proposes that, the other side is
1:33:48
Speaker 2: lockstep against this, which means we're not going to get
1:33:51
Speaker 2: anywhere with anything.
1:33:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, and that's where you've got to have
1:33:55
Speaker 6: a play. So, like, how are we going to make
1:33:57
Speaker 6: sure we don't get shut down again? By January thirtieth,
1:34:00
Speaker 6: we should have the we should have the votes on
1:34:02
Speaker 6: all the appropriations bills. We've got three of the twelve
1:34:06
Speaker 6: done and so we've got nine more. All of those
1:34:09
Speaker 6: have made it out of a committee in the House. Anyway,
1:34:12
Speaker 6: the Appropriations Committee. We need slower time and have the debate,
1:34:16
Speaker 6: get the amendments pass, the bills and in the House
1:34:19
Speaker 6: we can pass them on a simple party line vote.
1:34:22
Speaker 6: Another question is are we going to get the votes
1:34:24
Speaker 6: in the Senate, And for some of them probably not,
1:34:27
Speaker 6: So what are we.
1:34:28
Speaker 1: Going to do about it?
1:34:29
Speaker 6: And then you could break the filibuster in the Senate.
1:34:31
Speaker 6: We can't do anything about that in the House. But
1:34:33
Speaker 6: that's where reconciliation comes in. So normally you're not supposed
1:34:37
Speaker 6: to put discretionary spending, your normal appropriations in with what's
1:34:41
Speaker 6: known as mandatory spending. And that's not priority, that's a
1:34:44
Speaker 6: that's a term. So like if you give it x
1:34:47
Speaker 6: dollars to run the Department of Defense or the Department
1:34:50
Speaker 6: of Transportation, et cetera, that's a specific dollar amount. We
1:34:54
Speaker 6: don't set a specific dollar amount for food stamps, for example,
1:34:58
Speaker 6: it's like, oh, we just handed out the last EBT card. No,
1:35:01
Speaker 6: it's that if you qualify, then we spend the money.
1:35:04
Speaker 6: So that's mandatory. So the mandatory spending side is normally
1:35:07
Speaker 6: dealt with with reconciliation, but both parties have added components
1:35:12
Speaker 6: of discretionary spending. Democrats added when they did the Green
1:35:16
Speaker 6: New Deal named the Inflation Reduction Act. They put you know,
1:35:20
Speaker 6: EPA funding and things like that in there. And when
1:35:23
Speaker 6: we did the Big Beautiful bill, we put defense funding
1:35:26
Speaker 6: and border security funding in there, so those are normally
1:35:28
Speaker 6: discretionary items. We could just round out whatever we can't
1:35:32
Speaker 6: pass across the floor of the House and Senate deem
1:35:34
Speaker 6: it mandatory and basically give a big check to the administration.
1:35:37
Speaker 6: Say look, just run the government and that would be
1:35:40
Speaker 6: a true power play because it would be party line,
1:35:44
Speaker 6: and I think we should be ready to run that
1:35:46
Speaker 6: play by January thirtieth. Otherwise, you know, Democrats feel like
1:35:50
Speaker 6: they don't have to negotiate again.
1:35:51
Speaker 8: It's like, well, they.
1:35:52
Speaker 6: Kept saying, well, where's your where's your negotiation? It's like, well,
1:35:55
Speaker 6: the CR was the negotiation. We can't settle for a
1:35:58
Speaker 6: CR on January thirtieth. We need off events and I'd
1:36:01
Speaker 6: love to do some of it collaboratively with Democrat votes,
1:36:04
Speaker 6: but I would be you know, I'm encouraging my leadership
1:36:08
Speaker 6: team to say, look, we run the reconciliation play, and
1:36:12
Speaker 6: even if we don't end up running it, we've got
1:36:14
Speaker 6: it ready. And if they don't want to negotiate, fine,
1:36:16
Speaker 6: we'll just run a pure party line.
1:36:18
Speaker 2: PLAYU wash rinse, repeat, Congressman Warren Davidson. God bless you,
1:36:22
Speaker 2: sir for spending time my listeners and me. I certainly
1:36:24
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I know my listeners enjoy hearing from you.

1:36:59
Speaker 2: financial trends section you'll engage in. You want to work
1:37:01
Speaker 2: with the best. That's Susette Lows, a Camp with Cross

1:37:07
Speaker 2: states plus Puerto Rico. She's the best in customer service,
1:37:10
Speaker 2: has more knowledge than anybody in the business. I would argue,
1:37:12
Speaker 2: thirty five plus years experience and as sweet and nice
1:37:15
Speaker 2: to work with as a human being could possibly be
1:37:17
Speaker 2: coupled with no junk fees, no application fees. It's always
1:37:20
Speaker 2: great rates at a low cost, and she is quick
1:37:23

1:37:56
Speaker 2: Seven thirty two fifty five KERR cdtalk station ah I
1:38:00
Speaker 2: look up and see Brigha McCowan in studio from the
1:38:02
Speaker 2: Hudson's too. Hudson dot Org also happens to be a
1:38:05
Speaker 2: professor at Miami University, and he is quite the expert
1:38:09
Speaker 2: on energy policy. His podcast Charged Conversations as well worthy
1:38:14
Speaker 2: listen for you, So just go where you get your
1:38:16
Speaker 2: podcasts and check out brighamccowns Charge Conversations, produced by Joe Strecker.
1:38:21
Speaker 2: Brigham mccow, it's great to have you in studio. Oh
1:38:24
Speaker 2: you got that one. We got like twelve microphones in here.
1:38:29
Speaker 2: He's just trying to figure out which one. I guess
1:38:30
Speaker 2: I should have cleared that up with him before we started.
1:38:32
Speaker 2: It looks like NASA in here, Brian, it does.
1:38:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:38:36
Speaker 2: I like the old studios much better, Brigham. Uh forecast
1:38:40
Speaker 2: for global energy demand. What I keep seeing is that
1:38:43
Speaker 2: the world is short on energy, and that a windmill
1:38:46
Speaker 2: and a solar panel ain't gonna cut it. I mean,
1:38:48
Speaker 2: that's just boiling it down to its basic turns Brigham.
1:38:50
Speaker 2: Not that I'm gonna get an argument from you, but
1:38:52
Speaker 2: you know, I've been advocating for small modular reactors forever,
1:38:54
Speaker 2: and it seems now that artificial intelligence companies and the
1:38:57
Speaker 2: billionaires that run them need that much kind of energy generator.
1:39:00
Speaker 2: Looks like we're finally going to get something that will
1:39:01
Speaker 2: deliver on you know, consistent, affordable, reliable, and safe energy.
1:39:07
Speaker 9: Absolutely, you know, And that's something I talk about right
1:39:10
Speaker 9: out of the gate everywhere I go, I go, you realize,
1:39:12
Speaker 9: the world has never used less energy ever, ever, ever,
1:39:16
Speaker 9: And we've never had an energy transition, and we've had
1:39:19
Speaker 9: several of them over the years, from whale oil oil, yeah,
1:39:24
Speaker 9: you know, and so forth to nuclear, but we've never
1:39:26
Speaker 9: transitioned to a fuel source that provides less energy, i e.
1:39:30
Speaker 9: Less dense. We've always transitioned into a new fuel that
1:39:34
Speaker 9: gives us more power, not less.
1:39:36
Speaker 2: Until now global warming showed up, until global warming whatever.
1:39:39
Speaker 9: Yeah, but you know, the mot of mine is the agency,
1:39:43
Speaker 9: international agency that the US set up in the seventies
1:39:46
Speaker 9: to scope out energy needs has come out with a
1:39:49
Speaker 9: revised forecast and it shows zero signs of peak oil,
1:39:54
Speaker 9: meaning when we start using less oil than we used,
1:39:58
Speaker 9: or peak hydrocarbons. For this very reason, it's gone. That
1:40:02
Speaker 9: was on the forecast.
1:40:03
Speaker 2: I remember back in the seventies at it being at
1:40:05
Speaker 2: a science museum and they showed that when the oil
1:40:08
Speaker 2: was going to run out, countdown calendar.
1:40:10
Speaker 9: Yes. And you know, just like with the stock market,
1:40:14
Speaker 9: a lot of the economists, a lot of stuff we
1:40:16
Speaker 9: look at are rear facing information. And sometimes it's not
1:40:20
Speaker 9: one hundred percent accurate. But as of right now, Brian,
1:40:23
Speaker 9: we have no signs of using less energy in our
1:40:27
Speaker 9: world because four billion people who live in energy poverty
1:40:30
Speaker 9: want what you and I have when we get up
1:40:32
Speaker 9: in the morning and flick on the light switch.
1:40:34
Speaker 2: Amen to that. Society does not evolved without energy. I'll
1:40:39
Speaker 2: bring them before we take a break here. I think
1:40:41
Speaker 2: I've observed. I've said it on the program so many times.
1:40:43
Speaker 2: This isn't this global climate change stuff is not about
1:40:49
Speaker 2: climate change. I think it's about restricting our consumption. Abundant
1:40:55
Speaker 2: energy equals productivity and consumption, and that really is to
1:41:00
Speaker 2: me the target. They don't want us to have houses,
1:41:03
Speaker 2: they don't want us to consume we're all going to
1:41:05
Speaker 2: kill the planet. So how do we get at that, Well,
1:41:07
Speaker 2: we restrict the people's ability to well move about and
1:41:10
Speaker 2: engage in productivity because of energy.
1:41:12
Speaker 9: I think there's a lot of truth to that, and
1:41:14
Speaker 9: it's a mindset. It's a different mindset, right. You know,
1:41:18
Speaker 9: you you shouldn't be wealthy, you should be poor, You
1:41:22
Speaker 9: should live in the collective. We all need to do
1:41:25
Speaker 9: our part for the common good. And you know that's
1:41:28
Speaker 9: one viewpoint. But that's not how America was built. That's
1:41:31
Speaker 9: not how we got to where we were. We're a
1:41:33
Speaker 9: nation of doers, builders and making it happen.
1:41:35
Speaker 2: And that makes us evil in the hearts and minds
1:41:37
Speaker 2: of the leftist, communist, Marxist et cetera of the world.
1:41:40
Speaker 2: Seven thirty six more with Bring Account from the Hudson Institute.
1:41:43
Speaker 2: After these brief words, be right back.
1:41:45
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
1:41:49
Speaker 2: Patient seven nine. Charged Conversations. That's the name of the
1:41:55
Speaker 2: podcast for my guests here in studio. Brigham Account. We've
1:41:57
Speaker 2: had it many times. Always enjoy hearing from bring him
1:42:00
Speaker 2: on energy policy is he's of course, he's a member
1:42:02
Speaker 2: of the Hudson Institute. You can find him on line at
1:42:04
Speaker 2: Hudson dot org. Really great website there, Brigham Acount cop
1:42:07
Speaker 2: thirty We had like five gajillion people from all every
1:42:12
Speaker 2: nation of the planet flying into the rainforests of Brazil
1:42:15
Speaker 2: and cutting down six hundred thousand acres of rainforest so
1:42:18
Speaker 2: they can have their Global Climate change convention with their
1:42:22
Speaker 2: private jets. Blah. So what do they accomplished?
1:42:25
Speaker 8: You know what?
1:42:26
Speaker 2: Fly read pretty much nothing. I understand CO two was
1:42:28
Speaker 2: almost of their boat and topic.
1:42:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, they really didn't getnywhere. With the United States absent,
1:42:33
Speaker 9: we didn't send any official delegations, although a few folks
1:42:37
Speaker 9: went and much to my head scratching, like the chairman
1:42:40
Speaker 9: of the Chamber of Commerce went, oh, maybe maybe the hell.
1:42:45
Speaker 2: Of a party brig inview, you know, I mean it's
1:42:47
Speaker 2: not been It's like getting invited to one of those
1:42:49
Speaker 2: elite events. I mean you just go for the sake
1:42:51
Speaker 2: of eating great food and hobnobbing with the bleeding hearts
1:42:55
Speaker 2: or something.
1:42:56
Speaker 1: You know it.
1:42:57
Speaker 9: I read a statistic that said it is the large
1:43:00
Speaker 9: single emitter of CO two for any event in the
1:43:04
Speaker 9: world that goes on democracy, over four thousand journalists there.
1:43:10
Speaker 9: And you know, I read an article from somebody I
1:43:12
Speaker 9: know at a think tank in Poland this morning that said, oh,
1:43:15
Speaker 9: with the US gone, China stepped up and their display
1:43:18
Speaker 9: and their booth shows that they're taking climate leadership. And
1:43:21
Speaker 9: I'm thinking, is that what it takes just a fancy booth.
1:43:26
Speaker 2: That's marketing missions. They own the world when it comes
1:43:31
Speaker 2: to windmills and solar panels, and they want to sell
1:43:34
Speaker 2: that stuff to every ignorant company or country out there
1:43:36
Speaker 2: that's willing to cut its throat in the name of
1:43:38
Speaker 2: eliminating CO two.
1:43:40
Speaker 9: Yes, you know, and we were talking offline. I had
1:43:42
Speaker 9: a conversation with a deputy minister, like a deputy cabinet
1:43:46
Speaker 9: secretary from a very big nation last week who is
1:43:49
Speaker 9: reemphasizing their commitment to the accelerated deployment of renewables. And
1:43:55
Speaker 9: I said, you know, China doesn't give a you know
1:43:58
Speaker 9: what about any of this, none of it. And I
1:44:01
Speaker 9: got a blank stareback. But I said, I'd give them
1:44:03
Speaker 9: an a plus for energy security because they are doing
1:44:07
Speaker 9: exactly that what the definition of energy security is, which
1:44:12
Speaker 9: makes you prosperous, you know, having unlimited energy at an
1:44:17
Speaker 9: affordable price, that is reliable and when and where you
1:44:21
Speaker 9: need it.
1:44:21
Speaker 2: It's all of the above strategy. Yeah, they do it all.
1:44:24
Speaker 2: Build a couple of coal plants every few weeks, and
1:44:26
Speaker 2: they build nukes, and they have they use hydro power,
1:44:29
Speaker 2: I will acknowledge. I'm sure they even use some of
1:44:31
Speaker 2: their own solar panels and windmills, but they do. They
1:44:33
Speaker 2: don't shy away from anything that produces carbon dioxide.
1:44:36
Speaker 9: No, they don't at all. In fact, you know, the
1:44:39
Speaker 9: emissions of China and India have increased two and a
1:44:44
Speaker 9: half times what Western Europe and the US have reduced. Germany,
1:44:50
Speaker 9: well it's not you can't. You can't build anything in Germany.
1:44:55
Speaker 9: And you know, on the car front, the Germans also
1:44:58
Speaker 9: don't understand that byd a German Man or a Chinese
1:45:02
Speaker 9: manufacturer which makes evs pretty cheaply.
1:45:05
Speaker 2: Of course they do.
1:45:06
Speaker 9: They have a factory that is almost larger than San Francisco.
1:45:10
Speaker 9: But don't worry out EVW, BMW Mercedes they got this now.
1:45:15
Speaker 2: They don't bigger than the city of San Francisco.
1:45:18
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, wow, the main part, you know, the main
1:45:21
Speaker 9: part right there. Yeah, So no, these guys are scaling
1:45:24
Speaker 9: up in China. They see this as a lever for
1:45:28
Speaker 9: economic productivity and frankly canceling the rest of the world's
1:45:33
Speaker 9: industrial capacity, which is what they do. They go into
1:45:36
Speaker 9: a new market, they dump steel, they drive locals out
1:45:38
Speaker 9: of business, then they raise the rates. This is not
1:45:41
Speaker 9: new for anybody. Why don't we get ahead of that.
1:45:44
Speaker 9: I mean, this religious component that is climate change is
1:45:49
Speaker 9: so fully brainwashed people that like the blank stare you
1:45:52
Speaker 9: got from the leader from that very large country talking
1:45:56
Speaker 9: about pursuing the CO two emissions and limiting it to zero.
1:45:59
Speaker 9: And when you point something like that out, you just
1:46:01
Speaker 9: get looked at. They don't want to engage in that discussion.
1:46:04
Speaker 9: I mean, this whole COP thirty, you got people from
1:46:06
Speaker 9: all over the planet. Nobody's raising their hands saying, wait
1:46:09
Speaker 9: a second, what about China and India. Australia reduced its
1:46:12
Speaker 9: carbon emissions down to virtually nothing, but what they negated
1:46:16
Speaker 9: from the atmosphere China emits. I think I read ten days, yes,
1:46:20
Speaker 9: ten days for the entire annual effort of an entire continent. Australia. Yeah, yeah, Well,
1:46:27
Speaker 9: I think it's a mixed bag. I think there are
1:46:29
Speaker 9: some people who know the truth, but they don't want
1:46:33
Speaker 9: to speak up for getting labeled a denier. There are
1:46:37
Speaker 9: other people that, you know, really do believe this. And look,
1:46:42
Speaker 9: I get it. We all want to be good stewards
1:46:44
Speaker 9: the environment. But carbon dioxide's plant food, brig them. Yeah, yeah,
1:46:48
Speaker 9: it's a fraction of the environment. It's not mercury, it's
1:46:51
Speaker 9: not lead, it's not something that is carcinogenic. It exists
1:46:54
Speaker 9: naturally in the environment. It's plant food. If we want
1:46:59
Speaker 9: to be serious out fighting pollution, there are other types
1:47:02
Speaker 9: of pollution that cause asthma respiratory disease. And you know,
1:47:07
Speaker 9: here's the other thing, though, is we have some of
1:47:09
Speaker 9: the cleanest actually the cleanest water on record, the cleanest
1:47:14
Speaker 9: air on record since the EPA was founded in the
1:47:17
Speaker 9: early seventies by the Nixon administration. People forget that point.
1:47:22
Speaker 9: The Republicans did that, just like the Department of the
1:47:27
Speaker 9: Interior is cleaned up. I mean, we're doing better than
1:47:31
Speaker 9: we've done.
1:47:32
Speaker 2: Without question, I mean in my lifetime. And you know,
1:47:34
Speaker 2: say what you want about Circle and the cleanups and
1:47:36
Speaker 2: all that that resulted in a cleaner environment. And Brigham,
1:47:39
Speaker 2: how do you get to a cleaner environment? Does it
1:47:43
Speaker 2: not take wealth? Lots of wealth. You don't have clean
1:47:48
Speaker 2: until you get to the point where you're comfortable and
1:47:50
Speaker 2: you have a growing economy that can afford to deal
1:47:52
Speaker 2: with the pollution that is a result of that growing economy.
1:47:55
Speaker 9: Absolutely, And if you only look at we import, you know,
1:48:00
Speaker 9: solar panels and windmills from China, but yet we don't
1:48:04
Speaker 9: consider the pollution that is made by producing those. We've
1:48:08
Speaker 9: off shored all of our climate concerns to somebody else.
1:48:12
Speaker 2: And the European Union buying Russian gas and oil. Okay,
1:48:16
Speaker 2: as long as we're not producing it, we can burn it.
1:48:18
Speaker 2: We just we have clean hands because we're not the
1:48:21
Speaker 2: source of it. That's just, it's crazy questioning this the
1:48:26
Speaker 2: dogma that goes along with this. Come on, I'll be
1:48:28
Speaker 2: the first person to question this morning. They'll come back
1:48:31
Speaker 2: with any plausible explanation for why they cling to the
1:48:34
Speaker 2: dogma and the doctor and seven forty six more with
1:48:36
Speaker 2: Brigham A. Cown and come up first. Galaxy Concrete again
1:48:39
Speaker 2: another positive Rave review for Galaxy Concrete Coating. I've seen
1:48:43
Speaker 2: it up close in personal. Now that my daughter and
1:48:45
Speaker 2: Eric's patio has been done, what looked terrible before looks
1:48:49
Speaker 2: amazing now. And that will be the case for any

1:49:05
Speaker 2: they can put it on, like, for example, I mentioned
1:49:07
Speaker 2: the basement floors, the garages, but also commercial industrial applications.
1:49:11
Speaker 2: They serve the entire Tri State area and they've been
1:49:13
Speaker 2: doing so wonderfully for more than twenty years. Services drive
1:49:17
Speaker 2: really quickly, so you're not dealing without the surface for
1:49:20
Speaker 2: maybe more than a day or two. And it comes
1:49:23

1:49:37
Speaker 2: Hi, It's Brian Thomas with Chris tool seven fifty Here
1:49:42
Speaker 2: I fifty about KRCD talk station. We'll dispense the traffics
1:49:45
Speaker 2: weather in order to get the thoughts and comments at
1:49:47
Speaker 2: bring mc cown Hudson Institute Energy Policy expert charged Conversations
1:49:51
Speaker 2: as the podcast need to check out and bring them.
1:49:54
Speaker 2: You said you have another comment about COP thirty before
1:49:57
Speaker 2: we move on. Obviously thirty meaning they've been at this
1:49:59
Speaker 2: for thirty years.
1:50:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, And I guess that's the point the Conference
1:50:04
Speaker 9: of the Parties, as it's now not necessarily governments but
1:50:07
Speaker 9: delegations parties in a fairly loose term, COP.
1:50:10
Speaker 2: The religious loyal Yeah, we're we've.
1:50:13
Speaker 9: Been doing this three decades, thirty plus years, and we're
1:50:17
Speaker 9: no closer to resolution frankly, because you know, each one
1:50:24
Speaker 9: of these tries to pay over different paper over differences
1:50:28
Speaker 9: between countries, and in some cases you have countries wanting
1:50:32
Speaker 9: to fleece those who do have money. Oh they're on record,
1:50:36
Speaker 9: Yeah you got you gotta pay me, you gotta pay me.
1:50:39
Speaker 2: They want to triple the amount for climate transition issues
1:50:43
Speaker 2: in their respective third world countries. That means building stuff
1:50:47
Speaker 2: and things that they can afford because they're miserable economies.
1:50:49
Speaker 2: They want us to show to the burden of it.
1:50:50
Speaker 2: Nothing has anything to do with global warming or climate
1:50:53
Speaker 2: change or sea level rises, which apparently aren't really happening.
1:50:56
Speaker 2: It's just they've used this vehicle as a mechanism to
1:50:59
Speaker 2: guilt us into paying for stuff. There absolutely well free
1:51:03
Speaker 2: distribution mechanism.
1:51:05
Speaker 9: It is a wealth redistribution for sure, and you know
1:51:09
Speaker 9: it'll do nothing to reduce hydrocarbon demand. Yet you know
1:51:13
Speaker 9: everyone lines up every year for the big party, as
1:51:16
Speaker 9: you've pointed out, and with the developing country saying, hey,
1:51:22
Speaker 9: we'd like more emphasis this year on getting off coal. Sorry,
1:51:26
Speaker 9: and news flash, twenty twenty five, we will have used
1:51:29
Speaker 9: more coal this year than any other year in record,
1:51:34
Speaker 9: even though we're not using as much of it other
1:51:37
Speaker 9: people are.
1:51:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at least the folks in eastern Kentucky can
1:51:39
Speaker 2: have a livelihood by selling it to other countries who
1:51:42
Speaker 2: aren't stupid.
1:51:43
Speaker 9: Yeah. And by the way, we have really neat new
1:51:48
Speaker 9: technology that removes most of the pollutants from coal. Ohio
1:51:52
Speaker 9: State's developing something that emits zero emissions from coal.
1:51:56
Speaker 2: No kidding. Yeah, it comes at a large expense though
1:51:59
Speaker 2: for the coaltors. That's the downside risk it does. Indeed,
1:52:02
Speaker 2: so I'd rather have the small modular reactor if you
1:52:05
Speaker 2: deal with the regulatory reform and we get these streamline.
1:52:08
Speaker 2: These things are one size fits all, like putting legos together.
1:52:11
Speaker 2: Once you get a design that works, you can PLoP
1:52:13
Speaker 2: it down and they're small footprint.
1:52:14
Speaker 9: Yeah they are. And you know, we've talked about this
1:52:16
Speaker 9: before that no two reactors across the United States are identical,
1:52:19
Speaker 9: which obviously makes no sense.
1:52:21
Speaker 1: Right.
1:52:21
Speaker 9: You come up with a copy that works, and then
1:52:23
Speaker 9: you replicate it, and the SMRs can be plugged in together.
1:52:27
Speaker 9: So if you need you know, twenty gigawatts, forty gigawats,
1:52:30
Speaker 9: one hundred gigawatts, you just plug them all in. And
1:52:33
Speaker 9: so this takes care of the permitting everything else. And
1:52:36
Speaker 9: by the way, the US government just issued a loan
1:52:40
Speaker 9: guarantee of one billion dollars to restart three Mile Island.
1:52:44
Speaker 2: Now does that make sense to you?
1:52:46
Speaker 9: You know, it's the fastest thing that's available because it's there,
1:52:51
Speaker 9: and the reactors themselves are going to have to be recreated.
1:52:54
Speaker 9: But no, I would rather build a brand new advanced
1:52:58
Speaker 9: generation reactor which requires far lower enriched uranium. The byproducts
1:53:03
Speaker 9: that are recyclable, so we get rid of the storage
1:53:06
Speaker 9: issue for contaminated stuff. But you know it's going to
1:53:09
Speaker 9: take five to eight years to get online, So it's rebanned.
1:53:15
Speaker 2: Opening three miles going to take five to eight years.
1:53:17
Speaker 9: Oh no, sorry, building something new, building something new, right.
1:53:20
Speaker 2: I thought Westinghouse already had these things ready to go,
1:53:23
Speaker 2: just like off the shelf.
1:53:24
Speaker 9: Well they do, but frankly, we need permitting reform.
1:53:28
Speaker 2: That's see, that's the problem. It's not the availability of
1:53:31
Speaker 2: the technology, of the ability to build it. It's the
1:53:33
Speaker 2: permitting reform. It's the environmental lawsuits that gets slopped down
1:53:37
Speaker 2: in front of it. It's just the multitude of self
1:53:41
Speaker 2: created impediments and roadblocks to the efficient building these reactors.
1:53:49
Speaker 9: It absolutely is. And you know, you have both sides
1:53:52
Speaker 9: of the aisle in DC say we need permitting reform.
1:53:55
Speaker 9: But the truth is the left doesn't want what the
1:53:58
Speaker 9: right wants to build. The right doesn't want what the
1:54:01
Speaker 9: left wants to build, and so we don't build anything,
1:54:05
Speaker 9: which is just completely backwards right.
1:54:07
Speaker 2: Right, mean, well, China keeps moving forward.
1:54:10
Speaker 9: Yeah, they don't have a permitting reform problem, either does
1:54:12
Speaker 9: Russia or India.
1:54:13
Speaker 2: No, they don't know, they just do it. Yeah, it's
1:54:15
Speaker 2: maybe a reflection of the failed system of government we
1:54:17
Speaker 2: have here, Brigham. I hate to cast dispersions on Congress
1:54:20
Speaker 2: and the fact that we have separation of powers and
1:54:22
Speaker 2: Congress should be sitting down for the benefit of all
1:54:25
Speaker 2: American people and get a better or more efficient energy
1:54:28
Speaker 2: production and distribution web here in the United States. But no, not,
1:54:32
Speaker 2: they'd rather fight amongst themselves.
1:54:33
Speaker 9: Well, and if I may real quickly, I did a
1:54:35
Speaker 9: Charge Conversations episode a couple of weeks ago during the
1:54:38
Speaker 9: government shutdown that said Who's to blame? And it went
1:54:41
Speaker 9: into the detail of what Congress's job is and why
1:54:45
Speaker 9: they're not doing it and what needs to be done.
1:54:47
Speaker 2: Well, there's another reason to find Brigham acgown Charged Conversations
1:54:51
Speaker 2: where we get your podcasts and prop suggest tracker for
1:54:54
Speaker 2: producing that one Brigham account. I wish we had hours
1:54:57
Speaker 2: to talk about. Sadly we're out of time in this segment,
1:54:59
Speaker 2: but appreciate your willingness to come in and talk about
1:55:01
Speaker 2: these important issues little truth in the face of the
1:55:05
Speaker 2: religion that we're up against.
1:55:06
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks Brian, and Happy Thanksgiving.
1:55:08
Speaker 2: Right back at you, man, I hope you really understand.
1:55:10
Speaker 2: You got family in the house and I'm going to
1:55:12
Speaker 2: be spending some time with you on Thanksgiving. That's great,
1:55:14
Speaker 2: That's what the time of year is all about. Absolutely,
1:55:16
Speaker 2: take care of my brother. We'll see you real soon,
1:55:19
Speaker 2: and don't go away, folks. After the top of the
1:55:21
Speaker 2: air News, it's time for the inside Scoopy Bright Bart
1:55:23
Speaker 2: News tech editor Colin Maydine, and there's a great new
1:55:27
Speaker 2: feature on X We're going to talk about that as
1:55:30
Speaker 2: well as Meta not wanting to find out the truth
1:55:32
Speaker 2: about the dangers of social media cutting off its own research.
1:55:36
Speaker 2: That's coming up next. Hope you can stick around.
1:55:39
Speaker 9: We only deal in what you need to hear these days.
1:55:42
Speaker 7: You need to keep an open mind.
1:55:48
Speaker 9: On fifty five krc the talk station.
1:55:53
Speaker 2: Just Ibato five here a fifty onio KRCD talk station.
1:55:56
Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday, Kevin Gordon filling in for me tomorrow, taking
1:56:00
Speaker 2: the rest of the week off in a honter of Thanksgiving,
1:56:02
Speaker 2: and as I always start this time of week and
1:56:04
Speaker 2: this moment in time. On the Faressey Morning Show, Bookmarket,
1:56:07
Speaker 2: Breitbart dot com, b R E I T B A
1:56:10
Speaker 2: r T dot com, It's time for the inside scoop
1:56:13
Speaker 2: oft Bright Bart News, the return and perfect timing. Welcome
1:56:15
Speaker 2: back Tech editor Colin Maydin. It's always great talking with you.
1:56:20
Speaker 10: Hey, Brian, how are you today?
1:56:21
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, And you know, I when I saw
1:56:23
Speaker 2: you're going to be on the program this morning, I
1:56:25
Speaker 2: was so happy because I just was beaming. And in fact,
1:56:29
Speaker 2: Breitbart's where I found out about it. Elon Musk has
1:56:32
Speaker 2: now labeled to count locations on his platform X so
1:56:36
Speaker 2: you know, in fact, no, you're not dealing with some
1:56:38
Speaker 2: guy in Texas screaming about MAGA or dividing and stirring
1:56:41
Speaker 2: the pot of descent in this country. It's actually somebody
1:56:43
Speaker 2: in Bangladesh or elsewhere. I want this feature on every
1:56:47
Speaker 2: social media platform. Colin Maydin explain this to my listeners.
1:56:52
Speaker 10: Well, Brian, yeah, this is a doozy you know, and
1:56:55
Speaker 10: I actually thought to you.
1:56:56
Speaker 2: First as we wrote thanks man.
1:56:58
Speaker 10: You're the kind of guy who can who can you know,
1:57:01
Speaker 10: pull us apart for the audience. So you know, we've
1:57:05
Speaker 10: always had a problem with foreign influence. Yes, of course,
1:57:11
Speaker 10: the two sides of the country kind of disagree who's
1:57:14
Speaker 10: influencing what right. So you know, people had been begging
1:57:21
Speaker 10: Elon and his team of Twitter now known as X
1:57:25
Speaker 10: to have this feature saying what country are these are
1:57:29
Speaker 10: these people frump that are posting?
1:57:31
Speaker 1: Right?
1:57:32
Speaker 10: They finally added it. They had a live for a
1:57:35
Speaker 10: couple hours and turned it off because there was problems,
1:57:37
Speaker 10: but then it relaunched over the weekend and you know,
1:57:41
Speaker 10: suddenly all these eyes were opened. Because we have a
1:57:45
Speaker 10: lot of accounts, especially in the political area, where there
1:57:50
Speaker 10: are anonymous accounts. You know, they don't have a real
1:57:53
Speaker 10: person name on there that is a known person, you know,
1:57:56
Speaker 10: like a Brian Thomas account as you but you know,
1:58:00
Speaker 10: American patriot, who the heck is that?
1:58:02
Speaker 2: Right?
1:58:04
Speaker 10: A lot of those accounts, to your point, are in
1:58:06
Speaker 10: places ranging from Romania to you know, Australia in some cases,
1:58:12
Speaker 10: but a lot of them are in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
1:58:17
Speaker 10: So suddenly all these people go turn into super salutes
1:58:22
Speaker 10: and they're looking at what these accounts are posting. Now.
1:58:27
Speaker 10: The leftist response to this is haha, conservatism is fake,
1:58:31
Speaker 10: Maga is fake because all these accounts are fake. But
1:58:35
Speaker 10: that's not true when you look at it. The political
1:58:38
Speaker 10: accounts based in these foreign countries are all posting divisions.
1:58:43
Speaker 2: It's all about that o. The conservative movement this for years,
1:58:47
Speaker 2: and I'm so I was so excited about this article.
1:58:49
Speaker 2: I'm glad you thought of me because I've been saying
1:58:51
Speaker 2: this out loud on the program for years without you know,
1:58:54
Speaker 2: support for what I was concluding. But social media, it's
1:58:57
Speaker 2: so easy if you're a foreign actor and you want
1:58:59
Speaker 2: to grew with America, and America is you know, embracing
1:59:03
Speaker 2: under the umbell of freedom. That's one thing at least
1:59:05
Speaker 2: you can unite under. Well, we need to disable that,
1:59:08
Speaker 2: we need to interfere with that. Let us choose any
1:59:11
Speaker 2: given subject matter and stir the pot of division. And
1:59:13
Speaker 2: we can do that from remote control, from anywhere on
1:59:16
Speaker 2: the globe. And this confirms what I've been saying. You're
1:59:19
Speaker 2: listening to a bunch of foreign actors who want us
1:59:21
Speaker 2: to fight amongst ourselves over literally anything.
1:59:24
Speaker 10: Colin, Oh, absolutely true. Now there's you know, there's a
1:59:28
Speaker 10: couple of important points here. Firstly, the concept of an
1:59:32
Speaker 10: anonymous account is not by itself evil at all. We've
1:59:36
Speaker 10: gone through more than a decade of social media cancel culture,
1:59:40
Speaker 10: where if you're a conservative and you dare to share
1:59:43
Speaker 10: your opinions, they're going to try to get you fired.
1:59:45
Speaker 10: They're going to try to get you, you know, kicked out.
1:59:48
Speaker 1: Of polite society.
1:59:49
Speaker 10: So that you know, that's okay. But what this has
1:59:53
Speaker 10: revealed is very sophisticated actions by people to portray typical Americans.
2:00:02
Speaker 10: To your point, you know, you have an account that
2:00:04
Speaker 10: portrays itself as a as a you know, a gun
2:00:07
Speaker 10: slinging Texan likes the barbecue for lunch, and you know
2:00:12
Speaker 10: drives a jacked a pickup truck. It's a dude in
2:00:15
Speaker 10: Pakistan that probably works for the Pakistani governments. So you know,
2:00:21
Speaker 10: big problem. And you know Twitter already had problems with
2:00:27
Speaker 10: foreigners because you know, the Twitter was one of the
2:00:31
Speaker 10: one of the big changes under Elon was they launched
2:00:34
Speaker 10: a program where you can make money as a verified account.
2:00:38
Speaker 10: You know, if you're driving traffic, if you're doing big numbers,
2:00:40
Speaker 10: you can make money like advertising and India, Pakistan accounts
2:00:46
Speaker 10: base these places were completely gaming that system. So your
2:00:49
Speaker 10: real influencer sitting in the USA were barely making any
2:00:53
Speaker 10: money because the system was being completely you know, tricked
2:00:58
Speaker 10: by folks overseas. And he's been trying to straighten that out.
2:01:01
Speaker 10: Now it's taken a much, much deeper and frankly more
2:01:04
Speaker 10: sinister turn, because you know, exactly to your point, you
2:01:09
Speaker 10: and others were saying, these aren't Americans, these are people
2:01:12
Speaker 10: trying to screw with us. Now we know that's true.
2:01:15
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, And you know, I love that he anticipated
2:01:18
Speaker 2: the VPN workaround. And I'm a big fan of epns
2:01:21
Speaker 2: even for example, and I use this as an illustration.
2:01:23
Speaker 2: You got a teenager in a state which doesn't allow
2:01:26
Speaker 2: teens on pornography sites that state, All you need to
2:01:29
Speaker 2: do is get on a VPN and pretend like you're
2:01:31
Speaker 2: in some other state or, as the case may be,
2:01:33
Speaker 2: some other country. That's where your IP address shows up.
2:01:35
Speaker 2: That defeats the whole ID check thing because that other state,
2:01:40
Speaker 2: like Illinois, doesn't have the ID verification, so that's a workaround.
2:01:44
Speaker 2: Same thing goes here. You could be a foreign actor
2:01:46
Speaker 2: saying that you're in the United States, but if you
2:01:48
Speaker 2: use a VPN from Bangladesh, it might look like you're
2:01:51
Speaker 2: in Chicago or Saint Louis or Cincinnati. That's what the
2:01:55
Speaker 2: VPN will show. But Elon must anticipated that, so he's
2:01:58
Speaker 2: got the little exclamation point feature that's going along with
2:02:01
Speaker 2: that exactly.
2:02:03
Speaker 10: So you know, for anyone that that's not familiar with
2:02:06
Speaker 10: how this works, you can look in an account and
2:02:08
Speaker 10: click on the date that it says they joined the platform.
2:02:11
Speaker 10: It's going to give you all the additional information, including
2:02:15
Speaker 10: the country they're based in. And to your point, Brian,
2:02:18
Speaker 10: you know, yes, anyone could VPN and say hi, I
2:02:22
Speaker 10: am an American, you know, but with that exclamation point,
2:02:26
Speaker 10: you know.
2:02:27
Speaker 2: They're on a VPN.
2:02:28
Speaker 10: You don't know where they're based, but you know if
2:02:31
Speaker 10: they're saying American patriot or my favorite of all these
2:02:36
Speaker 10: accounts is Republicans against Trump, you know, which is not
2:02:41
Speaker 10: Republicans against Trump because it's not American. Uh, you know,
2:02:45
Speaker 10: it's a great that you can see, Hey, I don't
2:02:47
Speaker 10: know where they are, but they're not here and that's
2:02:50
Speaker 10: enough information for us.
2:02:52
Speaker 2: Well, it provides you an opportunity to exercise some logic
2:02:55
Speaker 2: and reasons. I wonder why they're using a VPN, and
2:02:58
Speaker 2: the result is the obvious ques answer the questions because
2:03:01
Speaker 2: there's someplace else. It's just you know, just put two
2:03:03
Speaker 2: and two together. It's simply it may not necessarily be true,
2:03:06
Speaker 2: but more than likely in connection with these divisive posts
2:03:09
Speaker 2: related to American politics and other topics, it more than
2:03:13
Speaker 2: likely is a foreign actor. And I was surprised in
2:03:16
Speaker 2: the reporting on this that the China didn't come up
2:03:18
Speaker 2: more often, because I mean you had mentioned Bangladesh, Congo's
2:03:21
Speaker 2: even mentioned in India, Pakistan, but no specific mention of China,
2:03:27
Speaker 2: who I kind of figured would be the biggest foreign
2:03:30
Speaker 2: actor involved in this activity. It's it's a method of warfare.
2:03:34
Speaker 10: It is, you know. And for our Democrat friends, I'm
2:03:39
Speaker 10: sure you have some Democrat listeners. Yes, Russia wasn't in
2:03:42
Speaker 10: there either, so you know, we could talk all day
2:03:48
Speaker 10: about that, Brian. There's a lot going on. For one thing,
2:03:52
Speaker 10: China may not be as concerned about what happens on
2:03:58
Speaker 10: Twitter because they have much larger scale influence operations. For example,
2:04:03
Speaker 10: TikTok that is clearly a Chinese thiop right. In other cases,
2:04:10
Speaker 10: probably some of these people, if you're talking about the
2:04:15
Speaker 10: true you know, nation state security practice level, they might
2:04:19
Speaker 10: be hiding out in India. Because one of the very
2:04:24
Speaker 10: interesting things that we're going to be following up and
2:04:26
Speaker 10: researching on with this is typically when you're dealing with
2:04:31
Speaker 10: scammers and basically financial influencers, you know, people who are
2:04:36
Speaker 10: not spies but rather doing stuff for money, which is
2:04:40
Speaker 10: some of what's going on here. The English is bad,
2:04:43
Speaker 10: you know, they don't know how We get scam emails
2:04:48
Speaker 10: all the time that are poorly written in English, right,
2:04:52
Speaker 10: because it's not English as a first language. Speakers who
2:04:55
Speaker 10: are writing those these are all you know, the Texans
2:04:59
Speaker 10: sound like Texans, right. That is a level of sophistication
2:05:02
Speaker 10: that is not there for normal scammers.
2:05:05
Speaker 2: But it will be if it isn't here already calin
2:05:08
Speaker 2: though in a moment's time, it will be with artificial intelligence, right,
2:05:12
Speaker 2: I mean with a statement in proper English, you know,
2:05:17
Speaker 2: with a Texas flair. Even you can get AI to
2:05:20
Speaker 2: do stuff like that, it'll tailor a message for it,
2:05:22
Speaker 2: it'll actually be grammatically correct or maybe even come out
2:05:25
Speaker 2: in a very colloquial way that'll make it look convincing.
2:05:28
Speaker 10: Very true.
2:05:30
Speaker 1: You know.
2:05:30
Speaker 10: So when I look at things, when I look at
2:05:33
Speaker 10: these fake accounts, when I see him coming out of
2:05:35
Speaker 10: Europe like Romania, I'm thinking to myself, this is the
2:05:39
Speaker 10: EU trying to mess with us. Right when I see
2:05:42
Speaker 10: him coming out of India, I'm thinking, that's more people
2:05:47
Speaker 10: trying to make bucks because there's nothing there's no better
2:05:50
Speaker 10: way to make money on social media than divide people,
2:05:54
Speaker 10: enrage people. This is kind of the how it's third
2:05:56
Speaker 10: model of radio applied to applied to social media. But
2:06:02
Speaker 10: clearly there's much more than that going on. And I
2:06:05
Speaker 10: think we're going to see this unfold over time.
2:06:07
Speaker 2: No question. And further to my point on China, maybe
2:06:10
Speaker 2: it isn't so much that and I point well taken
2:06:13
Speaker 2: on them being you know, in other countries. Obviously they're
2:06:16
Speaker 2: expanding their global footprint China is so they could operate
2:06:19
Speaker 2: these bot farms elsewhere, but that they are perpetuating the
2:06:24
Speaker 2: we're all killing ourselves with the climate CO two eradication
2:06:28
Speaker 2: messaging that that is in their financial best interest. In
2:06:31
Speaker 2: other words, it's a glorified global marketing campaign to get
2:06:34
Speaker 2: us to be stupid and buy windmills and solar panels
2:06:36
Speaker 2: and cut our own throats in terms of energy generation column.
2:06:41
Speaker 10: Yeah, Brian, keep in mind, the Chinese mindset is they'll
2:06:45
Speaker 10: hang us and we'll sell them the rope.
2:06:47
Speaker 2: That's what they want. Yeah, they used to commit, They
2:06:49
Speaker 2: use to assassinate their political operatives and then build a
2:06:53
Speaker 2: family for the bullet. You may just remember those days
2:06:55
Speaker 2: back in the you know, shoot them in the back
2:06:56
Speaker 2: of the head and then charge the family for the bullet.
2:06:59
Speaker 2: That's China, and they're doing that to us each and
2:07:01
Speaker 2: every day. Colin maydein Tech editor with breit Bart B
2:07:03
Speaker 2: R E I T B A r T Breitbart dot Com.
2:07:06
Speaker 2: I was totally blown away and really disturbed by a
2:07:10
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal article I read just from yesterday. Teens
2:07:12
Speaker 2: are saying tearful goodbyes to their AI companions. Some really
2:07:16
Speaker 2: unbelievable problems these young people are having getting involved with
2:07:20
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. And they just have this perception that these
2:07:23
Speaker 2: fake characters that they create and interact with conversationally and
2:07:27
Speaker 2: literally spend hours and hours online with them, they perceive
2:07:32
Speaker 2: them to be almost real. So when you say sorry,
2:07:34
Speaker 2: young people are not going to let you have access
2:07:36
Speaker 2: to this anymore. They break down emotionally. Oh my god,
2:07:39
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get They're not real people. I mean,
2:07:41
Speaker 2: where is that message getting out? Colin? Sadly, it appears
2:07:44
Speaker 2: that Meta also is painfully aware of this. But so
2:07:47
Speaker 2: rather than look further into the details of the harm
2:07:49
Speaker 2: social media does the people, they just shut down their
2:07:52
Speaker 2: research on it.
2:07:54
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's uh, you know, that's a fun story, Brian.
2:07:57
Speaker 10: I want to correct one thing he said. Oh, the
2:07:59
Speaker 10: young people don't think the ais are almost real. There's
2:08:02
Speaker 10: no almost don't believe they're real and generation right. What
2:08:09
Speaker 10: you're seeing here, Brian, is a perfect illustration of the
2:08:12
Speaker 10: economics concept of opportunity costs. Opportunity cost is if you're
2:08:16
Speaker 10: doing one thing, you can't do another. So our young
2:08:18
Speaker 10: people are falling in love with AI, you know, warning
2:08:22
Speaker 10: it when they lose it.
2:08:24
Speaker 1: What are they not doing.
2:08:25
Speaker 10: They're not meeting that real humans, They're not forming relationships
2:08:30
Speaker 10: that are going to make the next generation of Americans.
2:08:32
Speaker 10: We're going to have a population crisis light China if
2:08:35
Speaker 10: we don't have people fall in love and get married
2:08:39
Speaker 10: and so forth, right, and so you know, the meta
2:08:43
Speaker 10: story you just mentioned is very insidious because what's happening
2:08:46
Speaker 10: there is as they're internal researchers. So I'm actually starting
2:08:51
Speaker 10: to admire because they're very sharp and they're they're reaching
2:08:54
Speaker 10: the right conclusions.
2:08:56
Speaker 1: They just get turned off.
2:08:57
Speaker 10: So you know, we have these internal researchers talking to
2:09:01
Speaker 10: each other saying, gosh, this is a drug and we're
2:09:04
Speaker 10: pushers and they're realizing the ugly truth. Kind of like
2:09:09
Speaker 10: there's a meme of the Nazi saying, are we the
2:09:11
Speaker 10: bad guys? That's that's what's happening in Silicon Valley. But
2:09:15
Speaker 10: they just keep pushing forward and not slowing down.
2:09:19
Speaker 2: Well, here's someone's got.
2:09:19
Speaker 10: To slow them down.
2:09:20
Speaker 2: Illustrative quote exactly on that point, Doctor Ninavassan, director at
2:09:24
Speaker 2: Stanford's Medicine's Brainstorm Lab for Mental Health Innovation. Quote. The
2:09:28
Speaker 2: difficulty logging off meaning interaction with the AI chatbots. The
2:09:32
Speaker 2: difficulty in logging off doesn't mean something is wrong with
2:09:35
Speaker 2: the team. It means the tech worked exactly as designed.
2:09:40
Speaker 2: That is, I think that just like hammers. The point home, Yes,
2:09:43
Speaker 2: they want your children to spend all of their hours
2:09:46
Speaker 2: engaging with artificial intelligence.
2:09:51
Speaker 10: The strong comparison that I have yet to see break down.
2:09:55
Speaker 10: Brian is Big Tobacco.
2:09:58
Speaker 2: So I mentioned that earlier. You and I are right
2:10:01
Speaker 2: channel and then right.
2:10:04
Speaker 10: But you know here here's why I mentioned big Tobacco.
2:10:06
Speaker 10: What came out about Big Tobacco eventually was all of
2:10:10
Speaker 10: their advertising, from the Marlborough Man to Joe Campbell was
2:10:14
Speaker 10: aimed at fourteen year olds. Because if you start a
2:10:17
Speaker 10: fourteen year old smoking, they'll smoke for life. That's the
2:10:21
Speaker 10: big tech model. Big Tech desperately wants younger and younger
2:10:24
Speaker 10: people because if they get you, you're going to stick
2:10:28
Speaker 10: with them and you can't stop. And you know, we
2:10:32
Speaker 10: have to the legal system in a sense, and our
2:10:36
Speaker 10: politicians have to catch up with that cutting edge of
2:10:39
Speaker 10: what's happening in kids, because even millennials struggle with this
2:10:43
Speaker 10: because it didn't happen to them when they were ten.
2:10:45
Speaker 10: It happened to them when they were you know, teenagers
2:10:50
Speaker 10: reaching twenty years old. Suddenly they're on social media. They
2:10:53
Speaker 10: weren't ten year olds on social media talking to fake
2:10:55
Speaker 10: accounts from India exactly.
2:10:57
Speaker 2: And Colin the other point, mad about the Agger companies,
2:10:59
Speaker 2: they had their own internal research which confirmed that Yeah
2:11:01
Speaker 2: Tobacco is bad for you. But they hid that evidence,
2:11:04
Speaker 2: which sounds me along the lines of what Meta is
2:11:06
Speaker 2: doing so terrible stuff. It just keeps getting worse every day,
2:11:10
Speaker 2: I suppose. I mean that, is there a legislative solution?
2:11:14
Speaker 2: I mean I I was screaming early in the program
2:11:16
Speaker 2: about TikTok. I want this X feature on TikTok. Not
2:11:19
Speaker 2: that the Chinese is going to provide it, but is
2:11:21
Speaker 2: there some mechanism, some simple solution or even complex solution
2:11:25
Speaker 2: that helps save our young people from this disaster? Or
2:11:29
Speaker 2: do we just need to take our kids off the
2:11:31
Speaker 2: damn apps.
2:11:33
Speaker 10: I have several answers to that, and I'll keep them,
2:11:37
Speaker 10: keep them brief. You know, eventually we're going to need
2:11:39
Speaker 10: some legislative solutions.
2:11:41
Speaker 1: Right.
2:11:41
Speaker 10: What I firm believe in my heart is that when
2:11:44
Speaker 10: I watch I've been watching Kojak from the seventies, yea,
2:11:48
Speaker 10: and it's a little shocking because every scene, you know,
2:11:52
Speaker 10: Telly Savalas and others are smoking everywhere in hospitals, police stations.
2:11:57
Speaker 10: We look at that, you know, I'm sick. I look
2:12:00
Speaker 10: at that, and I'm a little shocked. Right, I believe
2:12:04
Speaker 10: in twenty or thirty years, people are going to watch
2:12:06
Speaker 10: our TV and movies of teenagers staring at phones, and
2:12:09
Speaker 10: they're going to be shocked. How on earth did these
2:12:12
Speaker 10: people let these kids ruin their lives with AI convenions
2:12:16
Speaker 10: of phones?
2:12:17
Speaker 1: Right?
2:12:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, as we as we crawl from the wreckage of
2:12:20
Speaker 2: allowing them to do that for so many years. So yeah,
2:12:23
Speaker 2: it's like looking back at the Great Depression.
2:12:26
Speaker 1: Wow.
2:12:26
Speaker 10: Oh right, So how do we get there? That's a trick.
2:12:30
Speaker 10: That's a tricky question. But you know, you and I
2:12:32
Speaker 10: have talked before. It really comes down to parents. Parents,
2:12:36
Speaker 10: right now, you have to be all over your kids
2:12:40
Speaker 10: when it comes especially to AI, because AI will ruin
2:12:44
Speaker 10: them in a heartbeat, whether it's cheating on school so
2:12:47
Speaker 10: they don't learn anything, or you know, getting into sort
2:12:51
Speaker 10: of this romantic entanglement or for those you know, for
2:12:54
Speaker 10: people listening who if your child's grandchild, whoever loved one
2:12:59
Speaker 10: has en sort of you know, mental issue they've dealt
2:13:03
Speaker 10: with in the past. AI can make that a thousand
2:13:06
Speaker 10: times worse in about a week. Takes a little take responsibility.
2:13:11
Speaker 2: You have to you have to say no, they're not
2:13:12
Speaker 2: your friends or your children, help them out, stop it.
2:13:15
Speaker 2: Colin made On tech editor Breitbart Thank you Colin for
2:13:18
Speaker 2: joining the program and on behalf of my listening audience
2:13:21
Speaker 2: and my family. To you and everybody at Breitbart, I
2:13:23
Speaker 2: hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, my friend.

Speaker 8: Right now.
2:13:31
Speaker 2: If you have carsee d talk station of Cowen.
2:13:34
Speaker 3: Fifty five, KARC texting enrolls you into reoccurring on a
2:13:37
Speaker 3: bity text message.
2:13:40
Speaker 2: A thirty six. If you have car Se the talk station, Yes,
2:13:45
Speaker 2: you can have technical difficulties on the Fify about Cassee
2:13:47
Speaker 2: Morning Show. Unfortunately, unlike war, no one dies as a
2:13:49
Speaker 2: consequence of technical difficulty on the morning show. Uh, we
2:13:52
Speaker 2: have them on the telephone. Daniel Davis retire Lieutenant Colonel
2:13:55
Speaker 2: with the Daniel Davis Deep Dive every Tuesday at this time,
2:13:58
Speaker 2: well actually a little earlier on a normal Tuesday. Daniel Davis,
2:14:01
Speaker 2: can you hear me, sir?
2:14:03
Speaker 10: I can't hear you.
2:14:04
Speaker 6: Gar to work this out, and no one died.
2:14:06
Speaker 2: So that's a positive thing, Amen, my friend. That's one
2:14:09
Speaker 2: of the joys of being a morning show host. You
2:14:11
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about people dying. Now you might get
2:14:13
Speaker 2: attacked for your opinions, but that's okay. I can take that,
2:14:17
Speaker 2: all right. Dealer's choice, actually, retired lieutenant colonel's choice. Do
2:14:20
Speaker 2: you want to start with the breakdown in the various
2:14:26
Speaker 2: Ukraine Russian I don't know what. Do you want to
2:14:29
Speaker 2: call them multi point proposals? We've got a nineteen point,
2:14:32
Speaker 2: we got a twenty eight point or something, so far
2:14:34
Speaker 2: we have no agreement, or alternatively, do you want to
2:14:36
Speaker 2: start with the varied responses to the Hamas and Hisbala
2:14:42
Speaker 2: situation with Israel?
2:14:43
Speaker 1: Sir?
2:14:44
Speaker 2: Pick your favorite.
2:14:45
Speaker 11: Yeah, so let's go with the Russia situation, since that's
2:14:49
Speaker 11: the weirdest one, I guess.
2:14:50
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, lately, the Kremlin reject Europe's counterproposal. We
2:14:54
Speaker 2: had this twenty eight point document the Trump administration unveiled
2:14:57
Speaker 2: last week, which many were saying, you know, was was
2:15:01
Speaker 2: a gift to Russia, and then the counterproposal from the
2:15:04
Speaker 2: Europe I think it was like a nineteen point plan,
2:15:06
Speaker 2: which Kremlin just rejected that. So it would start where
2:15:10
Speaker 2: we usually end serve, but it doesn't sound like we've
2:15:13
Speaker 2: gotten anywhere. What's your take on all this, Daniel, Davis.
2:15:17
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, it's just more of the bizarre, uh,
2:15:21
Speaker 11: just confused and just dysfunctional. I mean, there's no better
2:15:26
Speaker 11: way to put it, more accurate way to put it.
2:15:28
Speaker 2: This whole situation, because.
2:15:30
Speaker 11: When the first information was leaked out, if there was
2:15:34
Speaker 11: a twenty eight point proposal, it was apparently between Steve
2:15:38
Speaker 11: Witkoff and a guy named Kriill Dimitriov on the Russian side,
2:15:42
Speaker 11: and the Russian side said, well, from after it was leaked, well,
2:15:45
Speaker 11: you know, it doesn't address a lot of our issues,
2:15:47
Speaker 11: but it does address some issues, so it's a good
2:15:50
Speaker 11: start point. That's something that we can work with here,
2:15:52
Speaker 11: et cetera. But the minute that this thing hit the
2:15:54
Speaker 11: airwaves and people in the West started realizing and Kiev
2:15:57
Speaker 11: started realizing that there was something that discuss going on
2:16:00
Speaker 11: between the US and Russia, people just went crazy. And
2:16:04
Speaker 11: first of all, over the weekend there was a lot
2:16:06
Speaker 11: of information out among a lot of the elites in
2:16:10
Speaker 11: the West that this was actually a Russian proposal that
2:16:13
Speaker 11: they just foist it onto the Trump administration, and this
2:16:17
Speaker 11: was you know, obviously then you have to reject it
2:16:19
Speaker 11: because it's just their plan.
2:16:21
Speaker 1: Well, if you had paid any attention at all to
2:16:23
Speaker 1: the plan. There was a number of points.
2:16:25
Speaker 11: And I did six on my show that the Russians
2:16:28
Speaker 11: would categorically rejoice, they reject, they would never accept that.
2:16:31
Speaker 11: So the idea that it was a Russian plan was
2:16:33
Speaker 11: absurd at face value if you paid attention to face value.
2:16:37
Speaker 11: What I think was going on Brian is that Europe
2:16:40
Speaker 11: is absolutely terrified of this war ending. I know that
2:16:43
Speaker 11: sounds strange, but they just cannot acknowledge that they have
2:16:47
Speaker 11: lost the war, That NATO has lost the war, the
2:16:50
Speaker 11: European Union and all their economic accepts have lost this war.
2:16:54
Speaker 11: But that is the case, and so they want to
2:16:56
Speaker 11: continue the fiction longer. And they're okay with you talk
2:17:00
Speaker 11: about people dying a gift.
2:17:02
Speaker 2: This is real life.
2:17:03
Speaker 11: People will continue to die on the Ukraine's side because
2:17:06
Speaker 11: of the unwillingness and the inability on the Western side
2:17:10
Speaker 11: to acknowledge this war must come to an end. And
2:17:12
Speaker 11: you know, I have some issues with President Trump on
2:17:15
Speaker 11: several issues here, but this is one I'm in lockstep
2:17:17
Speaker 11: with him. I am one hundred percent behind his effort
2:17:19
Speaker 11: to get this over with by the least objectionable path possible.
2:17:24
Speaker 11: And it's important to understand there is no good path,
2:17:28
Speaker 11: there's only the least offensive.
2:17:30
Speaker 2: Well, let me just I guess I'm kind of curious
2:17:32
Speaker 2: about European Union's position given what you said, law we
2:17:36
Speaker 2: had to pull out of Vietnam not exactly a shining
2:17:39
Speaker 2: moment for the United States. Of course, you know, the
2:17:41
Speaker 2: Afghanistan withdrawal wasn't exactly a shining moment for the United States.
2:17:44
Speaker 2: You know, it didn't look good and we had to
2:17:46
Speaker 2: take our alums. We can't declare a win in the
2:17:48
Speaker 2: win column, but the futility of continuing in the face
2:17:52
Speaker 2: of you know, public opposition or whatever the case may be,
2:17:55
Speaker 2: we move on with our lives. Is this analogous to
2:17:57
Speaker 2: that at all? Are they just unwilling to admit defeat,
2:17:59
Speaker 2: or is this much greater in terms of their economic
2:18:02
Speaker 2: connection with Ukraine that really matters to them, even though
2:18:06
Speaker 2: they can't really do much about it.
2:18:07
Speaker 11: Apparently, Well, it's a combination of both those in the
2:18:10
Speaker 11: worst way on each side. There was actually, interestingly also
2:18:15
Speaker 11: over last weekend in the Ukraine media, there was a
2:18:18
Speaker 11: lot of ankst that many of the leaders were oblivious
2:18:24
Speaker 11: are actually in Ukraine against Europe, saying you know, you
2:18:27
Speaker 11: guys keep talking this big game about wanting to defeat Russia, etc.
2:18:31
Speaker 11: But you have given this is a fact, more money
2:18:34
Speaker 11: to Russia since this war has started.
2:18:37
Speaker 1: To the Ukraine by continuing.
2:18:39
Speaker 11: To purchase their oil and in some cases, like with France,
2:18:42
Speaker 11: even greater levels in this year than the previous two.
2:18:45
Speaker 11: So the Ukraine side of saying, y'all are just playing
2:18:48
Speaker 11: both sides against the middle. You want cash if you
2:18:50
Speaker 11: want the war to keep going on at our expense,
2:18:52
Speaker 11: and that's the bottom line.
2:18:53
Speaker 2: I think you know. I laughed. I literally, I don't
2:18:56
Speaker 2: know if you heard me laughing. That's like the definition
2:18:58
Speaker 2: of batcrap in scene, if I may use the term, sir.
2:19:01
Speaker 2: The European Union has embraced the zero carbon emissions crapp
2:19:04
Speaker 2: or so long they have destroyed their own economies, and
2:19:06
Speaker 2: here they are buying Russian oil to keep the power
2:19:10
Speaker 2: on because windmills don't cut it well, arguing that Russian
2:19:14
Speaker 2: needs to be defeated in the war. I can't make
2:19:16
Speaker 2: any sense out of this other than it say. It
2:19:18
Speaker 2: sounds like something out of some deranged science fiction maybe
2:19:21
Speaker 2: Salvado or DOLLI like parallel Universe.
2:19:24
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, that's that's probably the least defensive you can
2:19:28
Speaker 11: say about the European side, because it is totally divorced
2:19:32
Speaker 11: from military reality. This war is over at the conclusion
2:19:36
Speaker 11: is already known. It can't end any other way than
2:19:38
Speaker 11: a Russian victory, and European and the Ukraine side and
2:19:42
Speaker 11: they're just their Ukraine leadership is embedded with this. On
2:19:45
Speaker 11: top of of course, that's the other thing that the
2:19:47
Speaker 11: Ukrainian people were upset about is all the corruption that's
2:19:50
Speaker 11: now being exposed at the highest levels. So literally it's
2:19:53
Speaker 11: about money at the Ukraine leadership level, and at the
2:19:56
Speaker 11: European leadership level, it's all about cash, and they always
2:20:00
Speaker 11: talk about how much more money they're going to spend
2:20:01
Speaker 11: on defense, while zero willingness at all.
2:20:05
Speaker 1: To engage in diplomacy.
2:20:06
Speaker 11: That is the state of Western leadership in twenty twenty five.
2:20:09
Speaker 2: It's a terrible thing to behold, it really is. And meanwhile,
2:20:13
Speaker 2: young people and older people are being slaughtered on the battlefield,
2:20:16
Speaker 2: and just while all this incompetence swirls around, I just
2:20:19
Speaker 2: it just breaks my heart. Daniel Davis deep diyes where
2:20:22
Speaker 2: you get the podcast, find it and regularly listen to it.
2:20:24
Speaker 2: I do and then the other pivot over to the
2:20:27
Speaker 2: Trump administration seems to be displeased with Israel's response to
2:20:31
Speaker 2: an en minor incursion in Gaza, and yet seems to
2:20:35
Speaker 2: be okay with Israel's response that has Balla over in Lebanon.
2:20:38
Speaker 2: What's the difference, Daniel Davis.
2:20:42
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know this.
2:20:44
Speaker 11: I was telling a colleague just last week that we
2:20:48
Speaker 11: claimed that piece has come to the Middle East. But
2:20:51
Speaker 11: when you look at the amount of attacks in the
2:20:54
Speaker 11: Gaza Strip and especially the West Bank since this you know,
2:20:58
Speaker 11: sea spar so called, was brought into effect, you would
2:21:00
Speaker 11: never know the Sea spark because they continued to be
2:21:03
Speaker 11: lots of attacks and then sometimes the homicide fires back,
2:21:06
Speaker 11: and then of course they get this huge response back
2:21:09
Speaker 11: from the Israeli side. In my estimation, if I was
2:21:12
Speaker 11: just looking at the ground, I would never have even
2:21:14
Speaker 11: known there was an alleged ceasefire. But the fighting continues
2:21:17
Speaker 11: going on. And then now then you add this issue
2:21:19
Speaker 11: back in Hezbela and in Beirut, et cetera, and that
2:21:23
Speaker 11: was also supposed to have been in a semi ceasefire situation,
2:21:28
Speaker 11: but then Israel just launched into this assassination. You know,
2:21:31
Speaker 11: decapitation struck, and they continued hit in the southern part.
2:21:34
Speaker 11: So it just looks to me like Israel still at
2:21:36
Speaker 11: war and I don't know where they're going. I don't
2:21:38
Speaker 11: know what the ejective verse because I don't see a
2:21:41
Speaker 11: militarily obtainable ebjective. I just see lots of shots and firing,
2:21:46
Speaker 11: and it just keeps the situation rolled up.
2:21:48
Speaker 2: Maybe just engage in population control, sir. Sorry, I had
2:21:52
Speaker 2: to say that.
2:21:53
Speaker 11: I hope that's not the case, but it's an ugly
2:21:57
Speaker 11: situation with no apparent resolution that I can see it
2:22:00
Speaker 11: anytime soon.
2:22:01
Speaker 2: Someday, sir, someday you and I will have a positive conversation.
2:22:04
Speaker 2: I know it typiclarly in dark conversations of late on
2:22:07
Speaker 2: that day.
2:22:08
Speaker 10: I thought, this week before Thanksgiving, I thought we'd be able.
2:22:10
Speaker 2: To have Hello Daniel Davis deep dive every Tuesday here
2:22:15
Speaker 2: in the fifty five Case Morning Show at eight thirty
2:22:16
Speaker 2: normally unless we have a technical difficulty where no one dies,
2:22:19
Speaker 2: which is good, but you can find him wherever you
2:22:20
Speaker 2: get your podcasts regularly. I encourage you to do that,
2:22:23
Speaker 2: Daniel Davis, from behalf of my listening audience and my
2:22:26
Speaker 2: family to yours. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
2:22:28
Speaker 2: that you do have something to be thankful for, and
2:22:30
Speaker 2: I'll look forward to another conversation with you next week.
2:22:33
Speaker 2: We do look forward to see then, take care of
2:22:35
Speaker 2: my friend A forty five fifty five care see the
2:22:36
Speaker 2: talk station, don't go, I'd be right back. Hey, forty
2:22:41
Speaker 2: nine fifty five car, see the talk station. Half e
2:22:43
Speaker 2: Tuesday off the rest of the week. Smoke them if
2:22:48
Speaker 2: you got a mode for Brian Thomas using up some
2:22:50
Speaker 2: vacation days. Of course, Thanksgiving is already a vacation day
2:22:54
Speaker 2: for iHeartMedia. I will be enjoying a gorgeous Thanksgiving dinner
2:22:57
Speaker 2: with family and considering it's my favorite, I know I'm
2:23:00
Speaker 2: gonna have a good time. Got a perfect a mindset
2:23:02
Speaker 2: for that one. I hope you do too. Those terrible
2:23:05
Speaker 2: things going on in the world, you can choose to
2:23:06
Speaker 2: be blue and angry about it all the time, or
2:23:08
Speaker 2: you can stop for a moment and just like I
2:23:10
Speaker 2: always like to point out on a Friday, what a
2:23:12
Speaker 2: wonderful world with joy ramone. It depends on where you're looking,
2:23:15
Speaker 2: So try to be in a good mood please, and
2:23:20
Speaker 2: don't be that guy or gal at Thanksgiving dinner with family,
2:23:26
Speaker 2: bringing up matters divisive and political. We got enough of
2:23:29
Speaker 2: that going on in our day to day world. Sit back, relax,
2:23:32
Speaker 2: have a cocktail, maybe play a card game. Enjoy the food.
2:23:35
Speaker 2: Regardless of what kind of food you have. You have food,
2:23:39
Speaker 2: enjoy it and be thankful for it. Anihow And yes, Maureen,
2:23:42
Speaker 2: I said population control of Daniel Davis because I knew
2:23:45
Speaker 2: you were out there listening. She's all about population controlled
2:23:51
Speaker 2: by our global elites. Annie How, let's go to the phones.
2:23:53
Speaker 2: They see what Mississippi James's got. Mississippi James. Good to
2:23:57
Speaker 2: hear from you, my friend. I hope you and your
2:23:58
Speaker 2: beautiful bride have a happy thanks and to spend time
2:24:01
Speaker 2: with some family. Welcome back. It's good to hear from
2:24:03
Speaker 2: you today.
2:24:04
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, I come in peace of everybody and there's
2:24:07
Speaker 8: nothing you can do about it.
2:24:08
Speaker 2: Perfect message, all right.
2:24:10
Speaker 8: I want to talk about the elon musk Ai algorithms,
2:24:15
Speaker 8: whatever you know he got going on. Yes, and that's
2:24:18
Speaker 8: a good thing. I like it, and I see a
2:24:20
Speaker 8: lot of other people. Some of your listeners like it,
2:24:23
Speaker 8: but I also hope they like it. When he finished
2:24:26
Speaker 8: up his agorithm about the Bibles. You know, the Bible
2:24:30
Speaker 8: is black history from the region it was creating. Now,
2:24:34
Speaker 8: well it's true or not, that's a different story, and
2:24:37
Speaker 8: that's not my point in this conversation. But from the
2:24:41
Speaker 8: region that came from those with black, dark skinned peoples
2:24:44
Speaker 8: over there.
2:24:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get no argument from me on that, James.
2:24:48
Speaker 2: I've agreed with you on that point. You know, just
2:24:51
Speaker 2: considering the region and that time of the era of
2:24:53
Speaker 2: the world, there is no doubt in my mind, and
2:24:56
Speaker 2: I even acknowledge that, you know, the white Jesus depiction
2:24:59
Speaker 2: was was an opportunity to convince Northern Europeans, where there
2:25:02
Speaker 2: were no people of color during that period of time,
2:25:05
Speaker 2: that they should be following the religion. I mean that
2:25:07
Speaker 2: that's marketing in a sense, James. So I'm agreeing with
2:25:10
Speaker 2: you on that.
2:25:12
Speaker 5: That's good.
2:25:13
Speaker 8: You mean, but we need this to a larger arena
2:25:16
Speaker 8: and maybe Eon Musk could get it out there and
2:25:19
Speaker 8: people will see it's a whole lot of manipulation have
2:25:23
Speaker 8: gone on, have destroyed region, colonized people, people, enflaying people's
2:25:30
Speaker 8: all of this stuff.
2:25:32
Speaker 2: Well, it's not just Christianity that can be blamed for that.
2:25:34
Speaker 2: Anytime there is something that people believe in, I don't
2:25:37
Speaker 2: care what it happens to be your country, your culture,
2:25:40
Speaker 2: your religion. It's a divisive reality. And unless you're sitting
2:25:43
Speaker 2: across from that group and can say, all right, I
2:25:45
Speaker 2: don't believe in what you believe, but I can live
2:25:47
Speaker 2: and play nicely with you in this world we have.
2:25:49
Speaker 2: That's one thing. But when it becomes a source of
2:25:51
Speaker 2: conflict and anger and division and often war and murder,
2:25:55
Speaker 2: and then that's a horse of a different color.
2:25:59
Speaker 8: No, wait a minute, did I say anything about Christianity?
2:26:01
Speaker 9: Oh?
2:26:01
Speaker 2: Noll You mentioned the Bible, didn't you. Yeah, okay, well
2:26:05
Speaker 2: that would be Christianity.
2:26:07
Speaker 8: There's an eat the Opium Bible.
2:26:08
Speaker 1: You know, there was King Jane.
2:26:10
Speaker 8: That's probably the fifth translation of fifth transliteration.
2:26:14
Speaker 2: Oh how many iterations are there's like fifty thirty of them?
2:26:19
Speaker 1: Now?
2:26:19
Speaker 2: Yeah?
2:26:21
Speaker 8: Right, So I wasn't speaking of Christianity. You know, there's
2:26:23
Speaker 8: an eat the Opening Bible. That wasn't about Christianity. That
2:26:26
Speaker 8: was about spirituality.
2:26:27
Speaker 2: All right. I just figured, since you conceded that we
2:26:29
Speaker 2: were talking about Jesus and his depiction, that we were
2:26:31
Speaker 2: talking about Christianity generally. But no, you're talking about anything
2:26:35
Speaker 2: Bible wise.
2:26:36
Speaker 8: Right, anything in the beginning of what we can fuss.
2:26:40
Speaker 8: We can go back and it's just accepted belief. It's
2:26:43
Speaker 8: a theory, it's indoctrination, all that stuff. And the best
2:26:47
Speaker 8: I can do is narrow down the two or three theories.
2:26:50
Speaker 8: Now after that, I'm gonnafend some people with my theory.
2:26:54
Speaker 8: Some people gonna agree with my theory. So this reason,
2:26:57
Speaker 8: I'd say, hey, if we just don't go to crucify
2:27:01
Speaker 8: person just because your belief is different there that your
2:27:05
Speaker 8: indocted nation is different to them, because none of us
2:27:08
Speaker 8: really know. You know, this world been around here where
2:27:12
Speaker 8: you look at the world and the earth and whatnot
2:27:15
Speaker 8: for millions of years.
2:27:17
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, there is no.
2:27:19
Speaker 8: Way we can call ourselves intelligent beings instead of fresh
2:27:24
Speaker 8: peoples because they just got a different opinion of you.
2:27:28
Speaker 2: You're exactly You're articulating thoughts exactly along the lines of
2:27:32
Speaker 2: why I consider myself to be a libertarian, little libertarian.
2:27:35
Speaker 2: I trust you with your life decisions, James. I can
2:27:37
Speaker 2: live and play nicely with you in this world, especially
2:27:40
Speaker 2: in the United States, where, at least up until now,
2:27:42
Speaker 2: we've enjoyed the freedom and liberty to go different directions
2:27:45
Speaker 2: and live in the same communities together. That's what I'm
2:27:48
Speaker 2: all about. That's what I preach every day. Man, I'm
2:27:51
Speaker 2: with you. Hey, we're going to get there. We just
2:27:54
Speaker 2: got to the bone at it. I hope we don't
2:27:56
Speaker 2: get there. It just made me think the oldest profession.
2:28:01
Speaker 2: We all know what that is. Maybe marketing is the
2:28:04
Speaker 2: oldest profession. Maybe we should look at it along those lines,
2:28:07
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of marketing going on there and
2:28:10
Speaker 2: it goes back a long long time. James, have a
2:28:13
Speaker 2: great Thanksgiving in my best your better half, and I
2:28:16
