  Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time, leaving
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you waiting to be seen by a doctor at Level Health.

  Speaker 1: We're fed up with all the waiting around. It's about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: time you had twenty four to seven instant access to doctors.

  Speaker 2: Just got nervous.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I just got this nervous pang from my son before
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I talked to the attack of Pina, my best buddy
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: for forty eight years. My little boy, Gabriel is taking
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: the SATs tomorrow morning.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: He's been doing great.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: On his practice test, I mean great, big scores thirteen
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: fourteen hundreds. And there's one school in particular he'd like
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to go to. We want him to go, and it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: not in New York and he needs a certain score
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to get it. He's been getting those scores on his
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: practice test. But tomorrow it's no longer exhibition games, it's
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: not preseason accounts. So Gabe, I know you're in school
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you're not listening, although who knows. Good luck tomorrow, son.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I'm very proud of I love you. Part of my
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: daughter too, she's doing great work with I dollar Ava.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But my son a big, big, big day tomorrow.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: So SATs and you know I didn't get a very
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: good score my SATs.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't need it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I just needed a thousand to get into Miami and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I got a ten. Ten, So I went down to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Coral Gables. How about you, Joe, you went to a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: great college, Skidmore University. Did you do well in your SATs?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I was okay, okay. I was more focused on the
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: hockey part of it. That's how I got into Skidmore
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: really well.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So you did you get a full paid hockey scholarship
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the Skidmore?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean as much as I could give for
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: D two school. But yes, as much as you can get.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I did, so it was it wasn't the SAT scurce
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: that got me intem that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Way, you know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: But I was saving the best relact.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Academic, stay well, listen, you and I never a
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: great when it came to taking testo academics. In fact,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I tell this story all the time. We went to
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: poly practice really expensive. You know school, Richie school. All
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the mob kids go there, and so they have something
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: called the Polyglot and that is the annual yearbook and
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: it's gonna have a beautiful book actually, you know. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: then they have the president of the class whatever. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: take these these polls, you know, like who's most likely
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to succeed and who is going.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: To do this?
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: So I forget it was the fifth grade, of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: sixth grade, they had who is least likely to succeed?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: This is a true story, jose Levin, who is least
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: likely to succeed? And it was a tie. It was
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a tie between Joseph Tacopina and sid Rosenberg. Know what
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I say, now, blow me.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I want to bend him on Maxius as long as
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: they could put in a dendum where it'll say that
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I now teach at Harvard Law Schools magazine named of
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the top lawyer in the United States of America. Pretty good,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and I'm the United States Army Ambassador. I mean, I'll
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: take that adendum because that just goes to show you,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: you know, impossible as nothing, and if you put your
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: mind to something, you could do it. So yeah, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: was a late Bloomer. You were a Lake Slummer. Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: at fourteen, I wasn't really ready to blossom the athlete.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: That's okay, when we.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Needed right, you know, they say better late than never,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: that's the case. I do want to ask you about Comy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: So I had Greg Jarward, who loves you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He loves you. He was on the other day. He's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the legal analyst for Box News.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And I introduced the whole Comey story by saying, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: know it's silly. I swear, I go, I know it's silly.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's very smart for Todd Blanche to do
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: it because Trump had had enough of Pam Bondy, whether
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: it was you know, Epstein or she wasn't putting away
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: all the bad guys that Trump couldn't stand, you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: like Letitia James or Jim Comy. So Blanche is doing
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: all those things that Bondi didn't. And when you think
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: about the names that you've been hearing to take over
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that job full time, whether at Stinging Piro or Harmie
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Dylan or Lee Zeldon. Mostly Blanche I think has put
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: himself in a position, well, he's going to keep this job.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He's going to keep it, and he's going to do
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: it by making President Trump happy. So I think going
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: after call me does that more than the real opportunity
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to get him legally. But Greg Jarrett said, well, slow down,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: that's second charge. That's a possibility. He said, don't bet
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: on it, but it's a possibility. What are your thoughts
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: on the whole gym? Call me arrest.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Look, you just hit the nail on the head, Todd. Look,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: if you accept this role, you have to know what
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: you're signing up for. And Todd understood what he's signing
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: up for. Todd's a dear friend of mine. I love Todd.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Blanche Todd I think would be the measures for attorney
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: general because he has what it teas. He's ridiculously smart,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: he's measured, he's not excitable, you know, he doesn't get flustered,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: he doesn't get you know. The attorney general is different.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: He's not the president. He doesn't have to throw bombs
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: at people. He doesn't have to call reporters, you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: ignorant or whatever. Todd is class and he does it well.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: And he's also very smart. And look, he's a former
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: federal prosecutor. He's a He and I were co counsel
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: on one of the President's cases. And we've become very
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: good friends since then, you know. And and so I
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: will tell you I'm supposed to see you next week. Wow,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: he's the right guy. But but you know, part of
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: this is you sign up for this job. You have
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: to understand what you're doing, and you know, if you don't,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, follow follow your boss's wishes. You know, this
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: is not a normal administration when it comes to that said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: let's be real. You know, the Justice Department normally had
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: its own sort of operational protocol. Not so much now.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And we know that. And it's since no one's trying
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: to hide it, right, that's a good thing about it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: There's a breath of fresh air in the sense that
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: there's no one hiding behind what it is or what
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: it isn't And and so Todd knows that. And as
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: far as the Comy case looks had, you know, that
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: was obviously something that weighed very heavily on the President's mind.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: And and I think one of the reasons Pam Bondi
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: no longer sits in that chair anymore. And so I
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: think Tod had to do it. It's a tough case.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Let's be real, it is.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeh know, he's a tough case.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But you know again he does he put the seashells together,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: say eighty six forty seven. We know eighty six is
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: get rid of. It's even a tougher case. I guess
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: when you consider they've already done it and it failed.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: They've done it and it failed, and don't forget. In
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: this instance, the Secret Service interviewed call me twice over
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the phone and in person, and they closed the file
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: and they didn't think there was any threat and Comy
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: took it down. It's going to be hard to CONCEI
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: jury is that subsequently, you know, even though the Secret
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Service put this away and said there's no threat and
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: COMI took it down and said, no, eighty six to
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: me means get rid of. It doesn't mean murder. It
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: means get rid of. Like I remember, you know, when
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: someone I was on a trip once, a school trip,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: not all not Polly, but it was a summer thing,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and some person like you know, shoplifted from a store
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: in Disneyland and she was removed from the property from
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Disneyland and she was she was eighty sixth And that
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: was why I've never heard that phrase I was a kid.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: That's what eighty six I mean. So Ady C said
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of different meanings, so it's not solely true.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: If looked, if it eighty sixth meth assassinate, that's been
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: a different argument, Sells. I've never seen a federal case
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: with an entire evidence is based on seashells, So this
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: will be interesting. But look, that's the purpose was to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: get him under charges again and to push forward, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that's it. I don't think this is the case that now.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know this is the great case ever.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: No. Look, and you've represented President Trump twice and did
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: a great job, did I thought a really good job
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: with Egene Carroll and the Bragg case too, So you
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: guys have nice history. I know he's you know every
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: now and then. I guess you still correspond. I don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: know for sure, but I would bet that's the case. Okay,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So do you believe Joseph that they try to kill
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: him again?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I believe it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: When we say they said, I'm not I'm seeing I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: really not a conspiracy theorist.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just not when I say they.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: When I say they, I'm not talking about Iran or
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: me either. I'm talking about the Democrats. I'm talking about
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Trump aters.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about color George sorows every time there's
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: a protest or a rally.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of losers out there who can't wait
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: to do stuff like that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: A lot of losers. Right. So when you just said
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the word the Democrats, I don't think this guy rips
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: it all. I don't think the Democrats got together and said, okay,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: you go try and kill him and some lunatic who
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: obviously is a hater, and and and you know, I
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: don't know, it's weird. The whole thing was weird. Obviously.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Thank god. He never got even got not got close.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: And you know, if that was your real if that
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: was really your goal, you know, do what he this
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: guy did because he was never going to get close.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But I don't think there was any major conspiracy been
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: It's just another mentally ill individuals.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm gon look at his plan.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, there's a lot of people passing
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the Secret Service. Okay, fine, he got past the initial
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: then perimeter, you ran through the metal detector. He never
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: came close to the president. They did what they had
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to do, you know. And and the truth is, if
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you really study this, it's less secret surface and more
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of the venue. You can't have it in a hotel
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: with his three thousand guests literally on the top of
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the floor right above you, just milling around. That's the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: biggest issue with this, not secret service. But it's become
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: very cool these days to bash a secret service. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: told you. President Trump texted me Sunday morning. I texted
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: him first, I said, glad you're okay. But you saw
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the text, right, He said, thanks to the Secret Service
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: again today. Now he wasn't saying that if the butler Pennsylvania.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: When he got shot.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: But again today he thanked the Secret Service. So you're
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a guy, you're on army guys and these types of
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: people they tell you it was fine.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Right. Secret service is great. I mean, listen, I've been
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: around them. You know when I when I was up
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: there to the President, I was getting death threats. That
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: for a second, I didn't lose a second of sleepover
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: because most people who give you death threats to be email,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: you know, were sitting in their mom's basement in their underwear,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: typing I'm gonna kill you, Okay, I didn't think for
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: a second they were valid. Okay, but you know their
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: duty pound to act on those sort of things. So
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I had a secret service, like you, no detail for
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: a little while with post of those death threats. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: these guys are the most professional professional, I mean, they're
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: they're terrific, and they always put themselves in homes way
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: at all times, you know, so they you know, it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: walking those shoes for five minutes. Please, walking those shoes
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: for five minutes when you're the one who has to
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: put yourself between a bullet and a person. Okay, they
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: do a great job. And you know, the person's not
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: one to give people compliments if he doesn't really think
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: they're doing a good job. So you know the fact
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: that he's saying that is something that I can speak
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: at least.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: He's kind, he's kind to his people, and he does
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: appreciate that. He's actually a pretty nice guy. President Trump,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: talk to me about this. New York is set to
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: pass the most extreme this one. You can't even make
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: this up. New York is set to pass from the
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: post the most extreme sanctuary policies as Hocal and Albany
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: dems near an anti ice deal. So I talked about
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: this as Brian kill me this morning. Look, I'm a
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: nice guy, not nice Ice. You know, I'm sorry that
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Alex Preddy was killed in Minnesota, but he shouldn't have
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: been there. I'm sorry when they Good was killed in Minnesota.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: She shouldn't have been there. And the truth is when
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you look at the amount of criminals it's off the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: streets and deported and missing children. They found that number
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: exceeds seven thousand. Tom Holman did a tremendous job in Minnesota.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: All we talk about are two people who quite likely
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: were instigators. They deserve to die, Okay, but two people
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: commit to seven thousand. And now all these cities are
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: going after Ice like they're the bad guys, especially New York.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: What in God's name are we doing?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Said? You know, let's be clear, This so called sanctuary
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: expansion in New York isn't about compassion, because that's what
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I read hokls comments. Okay, it's about cutting off communication
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: between law enforcement agencies and that makes people less safe. Period, game,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: set and match. We spent decades after nine to eleven
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: breaking down was called silos between agencies because we learned
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the hard way. When Copstone share information, bad things happen.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Now Albany wants to rebuild those walls on purpose. On purpose. Right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: These policies don't just target actors. They create blanket restrictions
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: that tie the hands of the police, even when coordination
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: with federal authorities could stop trafficking gangs or repeat offenders
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: violent offenders. And here's the problem. Criminals don't operate in silos.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: They exploit them. So when you tell the local police
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: they can't work with federal agents, you're not protecting communities.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: You're creating these wide gaps that criminals walk right through. So, look,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: you can protect civil rights and still enforce the law. Right,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: that's not controversial, that's common sense. But this thing that
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Hoko is doing goes way too far. This is politics
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: overright in public safety. And at the end of the day,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: New Yorker's deserver system where law enforcement works together, not
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: one where they're legally forced to look the other way.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: And that's what we have here is just it's so
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: damn ridiculous, it's not even funny anymore. So you don't
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: protect communities by cutting off communication between law enforcement.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Now, so Sully, now it said, shit, doing the opposite
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: one more for you George Orwell's book nineteen eighty four,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that was believe it or not, over forty years ago,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: already nineteen eighty more. But you know, we talked about
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: big Brother watching you, and now between your phone that's
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: watching you, your license plate. There are even stores now,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: grocery stores. Right you walk into a grocery store and
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: they take a palm print or a base print, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: right away they've got all your personal information. I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: think people even realize, in fact, I know they don't.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: They don't even realize sometimes they walk into a store
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: how they're really being how their privacy is being invaded.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: They've got no idea.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: So I think it's great that the Supreme Court is
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: going after Big Brother.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, sid me too. I mean, this is one of
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: those rare cases the Preme Court that we've found beside.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: This one of those rare cases where the Supreme Court
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: isn't just interpreting the law, it's just really deciding what
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: freedom looks like in the digital age. Okay, So to me,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: if the government can track your face, it contracts your life.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: It's this is about control, not convenience. Okay, we're one
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: court ruled the way from turning every American into a
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: walking barcode. Okay, this is it's crazy, absolutely crazy what
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you can do now. So let me let me try
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: and explain this the way you know, someone can understand it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: In this case about one thing, the Supreme Court case
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: that will be decided this week, whether the government can
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: track you without you ever knowing it. Okay, we're literally
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: watching the constitution collide with twenty first century surveillance technology.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And so the issue is in crime fighting. It's how
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: far the government could go without a warrant. So technology
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: has now completely outfaced the law, of course, I now
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: have to decide is consistent digital tracking consider the search
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: like the Constitution doesn't change just because technology does. But
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: just imagine, you know, once they got your face there
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: was insulting with Madison Square Garden, right, or any of
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: those properties. You walk in there, they know when you
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: go to the bathroom, when you whatever you buy there,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: like if you've said a bad thing about Jim Dolan
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: in the past. The security is all over you in there.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: And this is unlike wiretaps and searches. This happens without
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: your knowledge. So Americans can be tracked in public spaces
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: in real time. So and they're massive database that already
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: exists with millions defaces, don't get me wrong. So this
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: is over half of the United States adults already have
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: facial recognition systems in place. So it means too too much.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: It's scary, and it's big brother like on steroids. It
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: really is.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: So what is the Supreme Court hear this already? Where
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: are we with that?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: They've they've heard it. They're goun to decide it this week.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: They're goun decide this week. Look, here's the argument. On
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: the government side, it says, well, you know, it helps
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: stop crime and find suspects and prevents terrorism. But on
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the privacy side, it creates this permanent tracking system of
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: innocent Americans. So you know it's the same old debate, right,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: but now we have AI watching every single move we make,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: and the Supreme Court decision will likely set national presence.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is it. This can determine whether warrants
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: are required, how long data can be stored, whether massive
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: balance is constitution So this is just about criminals. It's
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: not every American walking down the street, every.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Crazy I got a friend big who says medical info
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: is they could read that from your palm. Medical info
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: they can read from your palm. I don't know how
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that's okay when we don't.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Know about it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Look, you know, I tend to I like surveillance and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I want to find the criminals and.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: All that stuff.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: But you know, if I'm going to the store, yeah
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I know, But if I'm going to the store to
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: buy bananas, I mean, leave me alone.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: You know, this case is going to decide really if
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: IVY still exist in public or if the idea is
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that it's officially dead. This is it because I'm telling you,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: our founding fathers never imagine facial recognitions, right, crazy, But
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: they absolutely feared unchecked governmental power. And when getting close,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: we are getting close.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'm pissed off now because to get
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: into my cell phone, besides putting in my six digit code,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I do use the facial recognition thing. I may shut
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: that off today now that I'm so pissed off about this.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: If the Supreme Court doesn't go away, I'm going to
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: shut off facial recognition on my phone.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: About that, you because I didn't have to type in
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: the damage.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I know it's a pain, Yes, I know, I know.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: No but it is scary. That is a scary.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Restorystens to everything you say.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I know, man, I know there's.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, like I'll be passing stuff. They'll
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, there's an army uh you know bag
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: in the store. So you're like, how do you know
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I look anything to do with the army? Like what
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: why you giving me that information?
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: So you're telling me that every time Justin watches porn,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: which is often throughout the day, people know that of course,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and Justin do you this Justin and he puts crazy stuff?
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Tell me about that. He's like, how do I how
• 17:36

• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I needed to not have to hire me the way
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: sit you tire me burn.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I can't afford it. You know I cannot afford.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'll give you. I'll give you, get you
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: get the defense. Friends and family.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, just alone, you know, overlapping about it. But it's
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: a very serious topic. Seriously, that's not cool. So I
• 17:57

• 18:01
