Thirty one 7 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.920 years old, fell or jumped, we don't know, off a 8 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.879 third floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires, plunged 9 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:27.199 at it. 10 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.000 Death is the way they put it, and they said, 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.640 obviously he died from it. 12 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.960 I remember they worded it weirdly. 13 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.280 I don't know if it was because it was translated weird, 14 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.039 but it was like aggressive internal injuries. 15 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.000 There was a nine to one to one call that 16 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.439 came from the hotel in the minutes before he fell 17 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.799 to his death, saying, we've got somebody who is in 18 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.159 their life is in danger because he's on drugs and 19 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.920 alcohol and it's really bad and he's breaking everything in 20 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.119 his room when he's conscious, and pictures from his room 21 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.679 have come out and there's a bunch of drug paraphernalia. 22 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.240 Looks like we did ask. 23 00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.200 Somebody to consult We consulted somebody that may have knowledge 24 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.680 about drugs that we don't have knowledge about, and he said, yeah, 25 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.000 that looks like heroin. And his body found with a 26 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.760 bottle of whiskey as well. 27 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.079 And there were questions about what he was doing, specifically 28 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.200 in Argentina, that he was meeting up with one of 29 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.480 the other former members of One directionil foreorign Yeah, to 30 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.480 hash out some disagreement they had or something just awful. 31 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.879 So again, he was just he was just thirty one. 32 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.400 The sad thing too, is that I was going back 33 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.760 and reading interviews he did twenty twenty one was the 34 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.239 interview I was reading where he talked about his struggles 35 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.680 with alcohol and drugs and that he would feel suicidal 36 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.640 when he was nearing rock bottom, but that he didn't 37 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.879 know where rock bottom was and it was terrifying, and 38 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.560 that he went to rehab twice. 39 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.400 And it's just very sad. 40 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.840 Well, we're going to try to find some happiness in swamp. 41 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.000 Watch Swamp is horrible government man. 42 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.439 To make us like a reality TV show. Corn was 43 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.719 a bad bos, always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, 44 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:12.039 d c. 45 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.280 Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a 46 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.879 swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. 47 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.439 I have a watch of Malarkey Boy. 48 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:21.319 He said, drained the swamp. 49 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.680 I said, oh, that's so he keepsh You. 50 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960 Know well, Vegas says the odds have gotten better for 51 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.039 Donald Trump and worse for Kamala Harris just in this week, 52 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.199 just in this calendar week, from the eleventh to the seventeenth, 53 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.080 he has gone up. It looks like the fourteenth to 54 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.080 the seventeenth saw a precipitous rise for Trump and a 55 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.360 precipitous fall for Kamala Harris. The betting odds are sixty 56 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:47.919 two percent. 57 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.879 He wins sixty two point one percent to thirty seven 58 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.960 point eight The watching the polls is more of a 59 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.520 hobby than in a science now, because we're still nineteen 60 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.479 days away from the election, so there's a lot that 61 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.319 can change between now and then, and discussions of what 62 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.159 an October surprise might look like, or even a hey, 63 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.599 early November. There's a few days in November that they 64 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.879 could sneak something in there that could completely blow up 65 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:17.879 the race as we know it. 66 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.400 But there's some. 67 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.319 Fun numbers as you dig into it. I think one 68 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.520 of the most interesting for me has been this discussion 69 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.719 about who JD. Vance is and his likability ratings because 70 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.759 going into the debate with Tim Walls, JD. 71 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.879 Van's likability rating was pretty low. 72 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.039 I think out of the four major candidates on these tickets, 73 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.599 he had the lowest, But I think a lot of 74 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.639 that was simply because people didn't know who he was. 75 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.919 We saw the debate, a lot of people saw this 76 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.080 guy as a well thought reasoned person, loves his wife, 77 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.319 loves his family, talked lovingly about his mother despite her 78 00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.879 problems with addiction growing up, and he came across a 79 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.719 lot better than an image of him that had been 80 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:04.199 out there. 81 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.439 But he still has some of the lowest. 82 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.080 Numbers of those four candidates, Of all four of those people, 83 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.080 I thought that's an interesting thing. Kamala Harris was on 84 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.800 with Brett Beherr last night on Fox. We talked about 85 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.240 it earlier in the show. You can go back and 86 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.720 check out the podcast in terms of what our opinions 87 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.600 were of it. One of the things that I thought 88 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.879 that she did poorly was explain the differences between what 89 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.439 she would do and what President Biden has done. And 90 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.199 then Donald Trump also had a town hall with UNI 91 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.920 Vision where he was asked to convince a former Trump 92 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.000 voter to come back and vote for him again despite 93 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.480 everything that's happened since the January sixth attack on the CAP. 94 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.000 Kamala Harris was on with Brett Barry yesterday. 95 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.199 This was the misstep I thought that she made that 96 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.680 could have been corrected. 97 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.800 Let me be very clear, my presidency will not be 98 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.279 a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency, and like every new 99 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.079 president that comes in to office, I will bring my 100 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.680 life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. 101 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.839 I represent a new generation of leadership. 102 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.839 Now she's in between a rock and a hard place 103 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.720 because she can't say she wants to turn the page, 104 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.240 which she has said multiple times without then bringing in yeah, 105 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.399 but Donald Trump was the president for a long time. 106 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.800 She can't say I want to turn the page from 107 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.279 the current administration because I'm a part of it and 108 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.519 I've been in part of all of these discussions about 109 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.759 policies that Joe Biden has put in place. 110 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:34.759 She can't do that. 111 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.759 The mis step that Donald Trump had last night was 112 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.519 regarding a question from a voter. This was on the 113 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:48.199 Univision town hall. Voter comes out and says, I voted 114 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.040 for you. I was a registered Republican, but what you 115 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:58.000 did on January sixth, and the number of former cabinet 116 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.920 officials of yours that have come out and said they 117 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:05.120 would never support you again. Convince me, convince me why 118 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.199 should I vote for you? 119 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.639 And also people in your administration who don't support you. 120 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.879 I'm curious how people so close to you and your 121 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.600 administration no longer want to support you. So why would 122 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.199 I want to support you? If you would answer these 123 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.279 questions for me, I would really appreciate it and give 124 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.000 you the opportunity. You know, your own vice president doesn't 125 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:26.959 want to support you, now. 126 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:27.240 Thank you. 127 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.120 So the people that don't support a very small portion. 128 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.240 We have a tremendous about ninety seven percent of the 129 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.000 people in the administration support me. But because it's me, 130 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.759 somebody doesn't support they get a little publicity. The vice 131 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.120 president I disagree with him on what he did. I 132 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.600 totally disagreed with him on what he did. Very importantly, 133 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.120 you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. 134 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.079 They didn't come because of me. They came because of 135 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.000 the election. They thought the election was a rigged election, 136 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.959 and that's why they came. Some of those people went 137 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.920 down to the Capitol, I said, peacefully and patriotically. Nothing 138 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.360 done wrong at all, Nothing done wrong, and action was taken, 139 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.839 strong action. Ashley Babbitt was killed. Nobody was killed. There 140 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.959 were no guns down there. We didn't have guns. The 141 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.920 others had guns, but we didn't have guns. 142 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.360 And the others, I'm assuming he means the others being 143 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.839 law enforcement and Capitol police that were there. 144 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:31.480 Yes, I think he's just trying to gloss over the 145 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.920 violence that ensued and saying that we went down there 146 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.920 with the best of intentions. 147 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.759 I mean, he the messaging. There's no way he can 148 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.560 spend it positively. Yes, he says the peaceful and peacefully 149 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.240 and patriotically. We played the speech, it was live on 150 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:52.519 our show when it happened. 151 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.639 I told you yesterday about Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump Junior, 152 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.360 excuse me and him compiling this list with the transition 153 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.560 team of people that are banned from serving in a 154 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.480 second Trump administration, and one of the categories. There were 155 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.839 people that are pissed off about the Capitol riot, like 156 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.160 this is one of their things. The election was stolen, 157 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.360 that was a peaceful protest. These are their their big 158 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.319 hills that they're gonna die on. 159 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.040 I Uh, that's a frustrating aspect of all of this. Uh, 160 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.679 Former President Trump is expected to show up at the 161 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.000 Sunday night football game Steelers Jets. 162 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.639 I was gonna say, who's Okay. 163 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.080 Questions about where he'll sit, if he's going to sit 164 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.919 with the Jets ownership or the Steelers ownership. 165 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.519 Okay, what do you mean he's gonna he's gonna be 166 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:55.799 a Steelers fan. It's Pennsylvania, that's that's listen. Politically, yeah, 167 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:56.399 I would. 168 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.000 Be surprised if he's wearing the I don't know, Mike Tomlins. 169 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.600 I would I would give him more credence if he 170 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.080 were Frank Oharris Jersey, that would be cool. 171 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.399 Could you imagine that he'd score a lot of points. 172 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.600 Like a Bettis Jersey. Compare himself to a bus through America? 173 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.120 Lin Swan, Lyn Swan, I'm simple like that. Terry Bradshaw, Oh, 174 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.759 that might be.

Yeah, I want to stop it. 195 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.480 I want to stop it when it's like thirty, like 196 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.639 you know, point five seconds left. So yeah, yeah, not 197 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.960 a big a weekend tech, not certainly as big as 198 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.600 the news coming out of the East today and all that. 199 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.000 But nonetheless Amazon did have an event to showcase new kindles. 200 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.080 You know, these are still super popular and great this 201 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.559 time of year because you're going to find sales leading 202 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.120 up to the holidays people who like to read. So 203 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:53.320 about four different new Kindles were unveiled, So if your 204 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.240 listeners like to read as much as I do, then 205 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.919 I'll give you sort of the skinny on them pun intended. 206 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.600 So the new Kindle is only one hundred and ten 207 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.879 bucks and it's only a couple of grams. I think 208 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.919 it's like one hundred and fifty eight grams, so really 209 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.840 small and light, twenty five percent brighter, twenty five percent 210 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.759 faster page turns, same amount of storage sixteen gigabytes, which 211 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.720 translates to literally thousands of books, and you get weeks 212 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.440 of battery life. So that's the new they're simply calling 213 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.840 it Kindle. It's the entry level model for one hundred 214 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.720 and ten. If you want to upgrade to the Kindle 215 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.039 paper White, which is a bit bigger at seven inches. 216 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.039 Some people prefer to have a larger screen. Get this 217 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.519 up to three months of battery life between charges. That 218 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.639 is crazy, so unlike a tablet, which gives you hours 219 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.759 of battery life, this is now in months. That's one 220 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.000 sixty for the paper white, a larger, a little bit 221 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.919 better display, also with twenty five percent faster page turns. 222 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.720 The biggest news I think is the first color Kindle. 223 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.960 It's I don't love the name. It's Kindle color Soft. 224 00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.639 I don't know, I don't know where, Like really, that's 225 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.080 like I could have come out Okay. 226 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.200 It sounds like a kid's drawing program from nineteen ninety nine. 227 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.840 I'm thinking maybe because if you've seen a color e 228 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.120 reader before, like Cobo has a pair of them that 229 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.759 came out earlier this year, it's not super vibrant. It's 230 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.879 just the nature of the technology, the e ink, the 231 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.879 anti glare technology that's meant to be read outdoors. It 232 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.360 is color, and it's great not just for books and 233 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.720 certainly kids books, but also for digital magazines and comic books. 234 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.399 But it isn't vibrant, vibrant color. It's color, but just 235 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.000 not super vibrant, you know what I mean. So that's 236 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.000 maybe where they came up with that name Kindles Sorry 237 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.279 color Soft, But nonetheless, for those who want color, you know, 238 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:40.440 you will pay a bit more for it. 239 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.120 It's too eighty but also waterproof. 240 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.360 And you know, weeks and weeks of battery life and 241 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.559 all the other benefits of you know, of a Kindle. 242 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.120 And then the final one is called Kindle Scribe. It's 243 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.759 their second generation, larger one for four hundred bucks. It's 244 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.960 going to be available December fourth. This is for those 245 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.399 who don't just want an e reader, but something for noteing, 246 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.720 you know where they like to write, you know, students 247 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.720 like this. They get a little stylist with it and 248 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.759 you can write out notes or in a boardroom meeting 249 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.240 and it digitizes your handwriting into text and all that. 250 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.960 So that's what's new on the kindle front. So Amazon 251 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.840 dot Com has more. 252 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.120 Well, I was gonna ask, what's the difference between these? 253 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.960 These are strictly readers. There's not a lot of other 254 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.000 correct a TV that you can do with them. 255 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.480 So if you're on the fence between a tablet and 256 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.799 an e reader, yeah, it's pretty basic. E readers are 257 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:38.639 are thinner, lighter, and usually not color and not glossy. 258 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.080 They're meant to be read outdoors, and they're fully waterproof. 259 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.120 You can bring them to the beach, to a pool side, 260 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.720 or even slip into a bubble bath with them. They 261 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.960 do often have a backlight, should you want one if 262 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.759 you're in bed with your partner and you don't want 263 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.720 to turn on like a big light. But it's that's 264 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.279 all it is. It's an e reader. It doesn't have 265 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.279 social media or email. In most cases, it doesn't have 266 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.519 a web browser. It doesn't play games or have other 267 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.360 apps like alarm, clocks or whatever you use for apps. 268 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.399 So yeah, it doesn't help you navigate from point A 269 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.399 to point B. It's just for reading. But as a result, 270 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.480 they cost less less, they're lighter because you're gonna hold 271 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.679 them for a while. Right, Some tablets, like some iPads, 272 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.919 you know, they could be pretty heavy after a while, 273 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:20.840 and you can't read outside easily on these things, and 274 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.120 they're not waterproof. So it depends on really what you want. 275 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.399 If you want a more versatile device that does a 276 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.039 lot of things, then you would go with an iPad 277 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.559 or an Android tablet instead. 278 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.720 And then Mark, how do we get ready for Halloween technically? 279 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.240 Well, I may be biased, but I believe tech can 280 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.600 enhance anything you're into, and that includes getting ready for Halloween, 281 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.000 which is of course coming up on the thirty first. 282 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.840 So few ideas. Smart lights are a great way to 283 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.960 take advantage of the holiday outside or inside your home. 284 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.519 You know, whether it's voice activated lights, turn them all 285 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.840 a certain color. There are you know, light strips that 286 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.159 you can decorate your home with or inside have just 287 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.960 just if you're entertaining. We're hosted a Halloween party on 288 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.080 the twenty six, so we're going to have some smart 289 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.639 lights beyond there you go, yeah, my mail, Yeah, that 290 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.679 can't find newsroom the mail room. I mean it must 291 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.080 be there's might be an issue there. So smart speakers. 292 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.639 You can have scary music play or scary stories play 293 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.159 on smart smart speakers. That's free. Sorry. Going back to lights, 294 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.360 there's also smart candles, which are controlled either by your 295 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.279 voice or with a little remote. You can get these 296 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:31.039 really cheap on like you know Wish and Timu and 297 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.639 you know Amazon. These are cheap candles that are safer 298 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.919 because they're not really they're not really fire. 299 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.279 You know. 300 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.559 Pumpkin cutouts. There are apps and websites where you can 301 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.759 choose a design and print it out, put on overlay 302 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.159 it on top of the pumpkin, and that way it 303 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.480 helps you to carve a real pumpkin. Or one of 304 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.879 the biggest trends of these apps these selfie pumpkin apps, 305 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.440 where you can take a selfie of yourself and then 306 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.000 it creates kind of like a you know, an outline 307 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.159 version of your own face, and you can then make 308 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.879 a pumpkin if you're really and you want a pumpkin 309 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.879 with your own face. There's also a Trump one. I 310 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.759 can make a joke about an orange face in there. 311 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.960 But there's also a Trump app for carving pumpkins if 312 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.480 you're a fan of Trump or you want to smash 313 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.039 the pumpkin. Uh, you know, after November fourth, I guess 314 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.080 you know. There's there's a few things you can do. 315 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.720 Don't give anybody anymore anymore. 316 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.960 That's great.

Right now we have to 342 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:41.000 say kids don't eat candy these days. 343 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:42.200 We don't know what's in it. 344 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.440 What I'm assuming somebody is passing around candies that are probably. 345 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.000 Oh, I don't know, gummies. 346 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:56.440 Candas, stummies, or summies. I see a quick clarification. Mark 347 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:01.799 Saltzman was talking about those kindles, the new kindles, and 348 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.559 one of them, he said, comes the entry level kindle 349 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.960 that starts at about one hundred and ten bucks, is about 350 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.799 one hundred and fifty eight grams. How many baseballs is 351 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.839 one hundred and fifty eight grams in terms of weight conversion? 352 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.759 I don't know grams really well, I. 353 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.279 Didn't either, so I looked it up. One hundred and 354 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.240 fifty eight grams is just about five and a half ounces. Okay, 355 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.200 that's about one baseball. Yeah, I did not know. I 356 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.400 couldn't wrap my head around the hunter. 357 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.440 Crams is a Canadian thing. I think we can all 358 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:39.640 agree just I think we can all agree on. 359 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.880 All right, Just a quick note about something. 360 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.640 An unknown guy was able to ride a bike past 361 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.599 barricade set up by local law enforcement and the Secret 362 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.200 Service as former President Trump was making appearance in the 363 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.039 Brock of Bronx. He was bicycling past the barber shop 364 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.480 and shouted the words Free Palestine while waving what appeared 365 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.680 to be a Palestinian flag. He stops on the sidewalk 366 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.519 and after a video, there's a video that shows him 367 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.200 saying year after year after year, tired of this, s 368 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.960 USA idf KKK, and then tries to set the flag 369 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.720 on fire, but his lighter fails. He's approached by police officers, 370 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.559 not tackled, not tackled, mind you, approached by police officers 371 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.640 as he is questioned by bystanders about how he managed. 372 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:27.960 To be able to get past the barricades. 373 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:33.119 That is on the heels of an independent panel that 374 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:38.279 looked into the July attempted assassination of former President Trump 375 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:39.000 in Pennsylvania. 376 00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.240 This was a fifty two page report issued this morning 377 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.960 that took the Secret Service to tasks for specific problems 378 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.640 leading to that rally, as well as a deeper one 379 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.519 within the agency's culture. They want to bring a new 380 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.599 outside leadership and just kind of blow this thing up 381 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.480 and just change the culture. 382 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.920 Bring in Jim Harbaugh, No do something. 383 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.519 They said that the Secret Service needs fundamental reform and 384 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:09.440 that another Butler can and will happen again without major changes. 385 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.960 This panel is made up of four former law enforcement 386 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.559 officials from national and state government and follows the investigations 387 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:19.359 we've already seen by members of Congress, by the Secret 388 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.400 Service itself, by the Homeland Security Inspector General, and it 389 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.119 talks about the previous reports that zeroed in on the 390 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.839 failure to secure that specific building and rooftop near the 391 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.440 rally where this guy had a clear line of sight 392 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.440 to the former president while he was speaking, on top 393 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.039 of the communication problems that hindered the ability of Secret 394 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.079 Service and local and state law enforcement to talk to 395 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.400 each other. Because again, I mean, we've talked about this 396 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:53.039 dozens of times since then. They local law enforcement saw somebody, 397 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.839 rallygoers saw somebody whether he had a rifle. Not or 398 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.559 not different depends on which I witness you heard from. 399 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.880 But nobody got the message to the people in the 400 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.240 Secret Service who would have kept the president off the stage. 401 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.279
