00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Good evening and welcome to another edition of The Cage

2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and Night Live. I am your host the Cage and

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Night Jacob Mook. We're gonna be talking about a couple

4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>of things going on in other countries, but primarily this

5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 1>is going to be an American based current event conversation.

6
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's just start off at the top. And I don't

7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 1>even have an article pulled up for this one. I

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>should have. But honestly, if you're unless you're living under

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>a rock, you have heard the news that there is

10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 1>nothing more to look at when it comes to anything

11
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Epstein related. We heard Cash Parttel and Dan Bongino just

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago say that it's confirmed now

13
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>that he offered himself. Okay. Then Pam Bondy was saying

14
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that they had over ten thousand hours of camera footage

15
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 1>that she had to go through and files and all

16
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>these things. Then they come out and say that there

17
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 1>is no client list or list of co conspirators or

18
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 1>any other guilty party other than Jeffrey himself. I've heard

19
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>some reports saying that he's not even guilty of any crimes,

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>but somehow he was, I guess for the the trafficking

21
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>charge possibly, but nothing ridiculously explicit has been said. Then

22
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>just yesterday, as a matter of fact, Trump and Pam Bondy,

23
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>members of his cabinet, were giving a little press conference

24
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and one of the press a guy can't remember his name,

25
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Chattathan looking, white guy just as standard as

26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the come, asked a question about the Epstein files, the list,

27
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>any of these things. And I watched Trump gaslight this

28
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>guy and all he was, I mean, oh, listen, are

29
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>we are we still talking about this? Are we still

30
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about Epstein? We have we have floods over here,

31
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>We had this going on, and we're still talking about this.

32
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 1>It's dead, It's over, like it's it's whatever. Then Pam

33
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>Bondi spoke up and she basically confirmed that there was

34
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing more to look at here. Are we still talking

35
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>about this guy? You mean, the thing that has been

36
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>number one on so many people's agendas for years, one

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you talked about in your election

38
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>campaign that got you elected, the thing that you know

39
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you even your first term in office, people were talking

40
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>about this, like are we still talking about Yeah? Yeah,

41
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>we are very much still talking about it. Hell, only

42
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago it was discovered quote unquote

43
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that there was new video evidence from the prison. And

44
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>now they're saying that, uh, there's a the the cameras

45
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 1>that the prison sells, there's a one minute gap that

46
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 1>apparently their system was so outdated and it was such

47
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a faulty securities network at a prison known for holding

48
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>high profile prisoners. But okay, and every night, at a

49
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>certain time there would be a one minute section where

50
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the cameras would just cut off and then kick back on.

51
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Now Pam Bondy is looking back at fifteen years worth

52
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of videos to show that every night, at a certain time,

53
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 1>it would cut out for one minute. She said this

54
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>as she was also saying that they delete the videos

55
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>every twenty four hours, or that they used to the

56
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>prison has been shut down, but that every morning, basically

57
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>they would delete the previous day's videos. So how is

58
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>she saying that she's going through the next fifteen years

59
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>of videos as there's no videos to go through even

60
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>though there's ten thousand hours of videos. It's ridiculous. So

61
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump pretty much just gaslit this dude and was like,

62
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's nothing to look at it. We're still

63
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 1>talking about this, are we like? Oh really? We're still here.

64
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>It was very remnant to me personally of Killery on

65
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the stand when she is getting asked about Benghazi and

66
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>her response, what does it matter, What does it matter,

67
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>It's over, it happened, Let's move on. It's like you're

68
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>currently on the stand for that crime and the negligence

69
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of your job, and you're asking, what difference does it make? Okay? Cool?

70
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 1>It sounded very much like that, So, yeah, that we could.

71
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>If we're gonna just talk about that, we might as

72
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>well get that out the way now. The Trump judicial

73
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>system is as flawed as every other judicial system from

74
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>any other president that has come through. I'm not gonna

75
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>say more corrupt, less corrupt. I'm actually at this point

76
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>putting it right on pour with everybody else. So as

77
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>previously expected, we are never gonna see the client lists.

78
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We're never gonna see the flight logs. We're never gonna

79
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>see And they they brought up, uh, what was it?

80
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I heard Les Wexner. I'm probably saying that name wrong,

81
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't matter. He's trash. There is a few

82
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>names that I've seen proposed. However, they're never going to like, no,

83
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>no extra digging is gonna be done. No extra inquiries

84
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be made into any of these names or

85
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>these claims, because it's all circumstantial, it's all erroneous. It's

86
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>all this name, your legal term at this time. To

87
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>say that it's not connected doesn't matter and needs to

88
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>be thrown out. It's a bit of a it's a

89
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 1>bit of a kick into the uh, into the spiritual

90
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 1>gonads of this country. I'm gonna be honest with you.

91
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of how this shook out, but

92
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately I had hopes that it wouldn't turn out this way.

93
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>But I expected that it would turn out this way.

94
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if any of you have any uh

95
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 1>other opinions on it, or any other information I'll want

96
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>to bring up, but please do. It's just it's just

97
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 1>not a good look. It's not a good time, and

98
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately these victims will never see justice, which again I

99
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>was that I would be wrong. I was hoping that

100
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe Trump would do what he said he would do.

101
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 1>He's done that with so many other campaign promises that

102
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>he made to people. Right, there's a long list from

103
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 1>his first term and this term of him doing what

104
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>he said he would do. And I'm not taking this

105
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to just bash on Trump himself or his cabinet.

106
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 1>But also I believe in calling a spade a spade,

107
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.959
<v Speaker 1>and this this is egregious with no nothing else to

108
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 1>look at here, It's just it's horrible. Let's see here,

109
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Raven Lee just shared a picture with the chat Let's

110
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>see who are these people? Oh yeah, yeah, so I've

111
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>actually seen the video that these still still shots are

112
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>taken from. Trump was having a party and I don't

113
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.079
<v Speaker 1>know if it was like one of his hotels, an apartment, whatever,

114
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and then he had all of these young twenty something

115
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>year old girls running around. And keep in mind, this

116
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is the same Trump that was having the locker room

117
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>talk talking about grabbing him by the you know what

118
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and everything way back when. So I mean, this is

119
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>this is the same guy. He's a little older now,

120
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>but the same guy with the same type of mindset.

121
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And apparently Epstein and Maxwell and I think there was

122
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 1>one other guy. I want to say it was like

123
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the owner of a sports team. I could be wrong,

124
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>came up and they just kind of hung out for

125
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, and Epstein seemed unimpressed. I'm gonna be honest,

126
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>he was smiling and cutting up with Trump. But it

127
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't seem like he didn't walk in be like whoa

128
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>my kind of party, like not even he was kind

129
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 1>of just like, oh wow, very nice, cool, awesome that

130
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>that kind of ties in though he liked his women younger,

131
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, twenty somethings, that's that's too old for him.

132
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's kind of like Leo DiCaprio whenever a

133
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 1>girl hits what was it, what was the magic known

134
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>for him? Twenty seven, then she's like too old for

135
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>him or whatever. But anyway, so I don't know how

136
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 1>to call it. I'm not a fan of any of

137
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 1>this whatsoever. Yeah, not not a good day as far

138
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>as the American public and our faith and confidence goes

139
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>into the Trump administration. But anyway, all right, now that

140
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten that out of the way, and yes, good people,

141
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>if y'all have any other opinions about it, I want

142
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 1>to hear about it in the comments, and before I

143
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 1>start sharing the screen and going into the other topics

144
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.839
<v Speaker 1>of conversation for this evening, I do want to go

145
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.920

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you get to see where the information is coming from

151
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 1>and see that it's not just an opinion based conversation.

152
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>We're at least citing the sources. And also there's only

153
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>one tier for entry. We're trying to grow this thing

154
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>to be a informed and educational conversation at least once

155
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>a week, although it may start happening twice a week.

156
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm still debating on if I want

157
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to go live technically speaking three times a week between

158
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>this and the cal but if I want to start

159
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>doing individual videos for the Cajun Night, or if I

160
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>want to start going live more than once a week,

161
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>debating on what day that would be. There's a couple

162
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>of different things that are brewing on the back burner

163
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>right now. But all that to say, let's get talking

164
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 1>about some start off with some world news still close

165
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to the American heartland, but still technically international. So there

166
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>was a memorandum AKAA memo that was released saying that

167
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 1>an inquiry done in twenty twenty two confirmed that a

168
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>notorious cartel, the Sineloa cartel, hired a hacker to use

169
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 1>surveillance cameras, phone data, and track and kill FBI informants.

170
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 1>So they basically did a deep dive onto this, an inquiry,

171
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>an investigation, and they confirmed these But however, this wasn't

172
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.279
<v Speaker 1>released to the public until this memo happened just a

173
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago. As a matter of fact, So

174
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>let's just read in here. The notorious drug cartel enlisted

175
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>a hacker who was able to infiltrate phone data and

176
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Mexico City surveillance cameras to help track and kill FBI informants.

177
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>The US Justice Department has revealed in twenty eighteen, the

178
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 1>operation was disclosed. Oh I'm sorry. The twenty eighteen operation

179
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>was disclosed Thursday in a forty seven page audit by

180
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department Inspector General outlining the FBI's efforts to

181
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>mitigate the effects of ubiquitous technical surveillance. So, like I said,

182
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing happened in twenty eighteen, they confirmed it

183
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty two. We're going to read more about

184
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that in a minute. And just this week or last week,

185
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department actually did an audit and found this out,

186
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 1>so let's keep going here. The partially redactive reports cited

187
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>sites a case involving Joaquin El Chappo Goozman. Perhaps you've

188
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>heard of them, The founder of the infamous Sinaloa cartel.

189
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 1>El Chopo is now serving a life sentence in a

190
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>maximum security prison in the US on moultiple conspiracyccounts for

191
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Speaker 1>smuggling vast quantities of cocaine and other drugs into the

192
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>US for more than a quarter of a century. I

193
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>will say this, nobody did it better. I know everybody

194
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>wants to give all the fame and glory to Pablo

195
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Escobar for being like the guy, dude El Choppo. If

196
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be real technical here with the logistics

197
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and the money and the violence runs circles around Escobar,

198
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 1>and if I'm not a mistake, it did it for

199
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 1>longer before he was stopped. But anyway, I digress. According

200
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to the newly released audit, an unnamed hacker was recruited

201
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 1>by the cartel in twenty eighteen. The hacker quote observed

202
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>people going in and out of the United States Embassy

203
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>in Mexico City and identified people of interest for the cartel,

204
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>including an FBI assistant legal attache. The report said the

205
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>hacker was able to use the attache's phone number to

206
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 1>determine incoming and outgoing calls, as well as the FBI's

207
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.279
<v Speaker 1>official geolocation data. According to the audit, the report said

208
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the hacker also used Mexico City surveillance camera systems to

209
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the FBI at tache through the city and identify people

210
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 1>they've met with the cartel use that information to intimidate

211
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>and in some instances kill potential sources for cooperating or

212
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 1>cooperating witnesses. The report noted that the modern technology has

213
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>made it difficult to protect sensitive operations and sources. See I.

214
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>For the longest time, it was seeing that the he

215
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>who has the better technology has the better surveillance and

216
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>therefore will probably have the upper hand. But everything's hackable.

217
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Everything is hackable. If you have your phone picked up

218
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 1>by a Wi Fi router, it can be hacked. Or

219
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 1>if you have your Bluetooth turned on and you're in

220
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 1>close enough proximity to somebody who might be a bad actor,

221
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>then it can be hacked. So all of the systems

222
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that have been put in place for surveillance and tracking,

223
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and all of these things that are used for INTEL

224
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 1>in turn can be hacked. And I understand that things

225
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>are supposed to be encrypted. I understand they're supposed to

226
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 1>be levels to this to where people aren't supposed to

227
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 1>be able to do this. I mean, that's only one

228
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>threat away, especially if you're going in and you're getting

229
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 1>to the cell phone provider and you're able to threaten

230
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 1>somebody at the top, maybe not in America, but in

231
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>another country where the laws are a little more subject

232
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to whoever's got the biggest firepower can make the laws. Yeah,

233
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>how hard would it be for you to just hack

234
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>into a mainframe or get access to a giant data

235
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>center or whatever the case would be. But anyway, he said,

236
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 1>he used the surveillance chepers. The report noted that the

237
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.320
<v Speaker 1>modern technology has made it difficult to protect sensitive operations

238
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 1>and sources. Advances in data mining and analysis, facial recognition,

239
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and computer network ex exploitation have made it easier than

240
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>ever for nation state adversaries, terrorist organizations, and criminal networks

241
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 1>to identify FBI personnel and operations. The report urged the

242
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>FBI to conduct an enterprise why threat assessment to determine

243
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>where the agency is most vulnerable the Senaloa Cartel, which

244
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 1>was designated a terrorist organization earlier this year by the

245
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration, which I personally am of the belief that

246
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>we should have classified them that a very long time ago.

247
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I Digress has long been one of Mexico's most powerful

248
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 1>and ruthless crime syndicates. The cartel is one of the

249
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>largest producers and traffickers of fentanyl and other drugs to

250
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the US, and has been known to murder, kidnap, and

251
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>intimidate civilians, government officials, and journalists, according to the US

252
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>State Department. The revelation about the Senaloa Cartel cacker comes

253
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 1>just weeks after the US offered a ten million dollar

254
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>reward for the capture of two of El Chappo's sons,

255
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar. He's

256
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 1>they gotta have that hyphenation, don't thing anyway. His other

257
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 1>two sons, Joaquin Guzman Lopez and a Video Guzman Lopez,

258
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 1>are currently in US custody. L Chapo's sons lead a

259
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>faction of the Cinelol cartel known as Chapzos or Little Chopos.

260
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 1>The torpedoes and their cartel associates have used corkscrews, electrocution,

261
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and hot chilies to torture their rivals, while some of

262
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>their victims were fed dead or alive to tigers. According

263
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to a twenty twenty three US indictment, I feel like

264
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 1>that's just business as usual as far as everything they

265
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 1>could have just listed for what cartels do. I didn't

266
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 1>hear one sign of a til on a neck tie

267
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. It's corkscrews. Okay, that does suck,

268
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>but there's worse things electrocution and hot chilies. I didn't

269
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think that that necessarily needed a mention, but okay, sure,

270
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>why not? And then victims being fed dead or alive

271
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to tigers. Again, I feel like that's just kind of

272
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 1>business as usual. Anyway. This is a little quick clip

273
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>from CBS News. Let's listen in to how the audit

274
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 1>played out and what all went down.

275
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>And one of the men charged is the son of

276
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the notorious drug kingpin Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. The Justice

277
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Department has confirmed that it has detained the leader of

278
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the cartel Ismael el Mayo Zambada at Joaquin Guzman. Both

279
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>men were arrested in Alpaso, Texas, without incident. Zimbada pleaded

280
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.919
<v Speaker 2>not guilty to all charges in federal court earlier. So

281
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned Guzman's father is El Chappo, who ran the

282
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.600
<v Speaker 2>cartel until he was captured in twenty sixteen. He's serving

283
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.879
<v Speaker 2>a life sentence for charges including drug trafficking and money laundering.

284
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's bring in CBS News national correspondent Minuelbehorg has has

285
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>been following this case for US. So first, who are

286
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 2>these men and what were the circumstances surrounding their arrests.

287
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, these are two high profile targets for the United States,

288
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 3>and we are learning that the way that they were

289
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.000
<v Speaker 3>arrested was actually a trick.

290
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 4>We're learning that.

291
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.399
<v Speaker 3>Is Maelzambada thought he was going to see properties in

292
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 3>northern Mexico, but instead was flowed owned to a small

293
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 3>airport outside of El Paso. Or he was taken into

294
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 3>custody by federal agents and as you mentioned, also taken

295
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 3>into custody yesterday the son of El Chapo Guzman, Joaquin Guzman.

296
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 3>These men were said to have been running one of

297
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 3>the most largest and powerful violent criminal organizations in Mexico,

298
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 3>responsible for importing trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe. Specifically,

299
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 3>they're charged with bringing fentanyl into the United States, which,

300
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 3>as you know, has created a crisis that has killed

301
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 3>tens of thousands of Americas.

302
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 2>How big of a deal is this when it comes

303
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to cutting off these cartels and their ability to traffic

304
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 2>drugs into the US.

305
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, it is a big deal to have these two

306
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:50.279
<v Speaker 3>men arrested, but the effect really becomes debatable. Sambada has

307
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 3>already said in the past that in the event of

308
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 3>his capture or death that he has a plan to

309
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 3>keep the cartel in operation. And you remember, the capture

310
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.640
<v Speaker 3>of El Cha didn't necessarily end the cartel's operations, so

311
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 3>it's definitely a blow. But the other thing at play

312
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.400
<v Speaker 3>here is as long as there is a market for

313
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 3>these drugs in the United States, Europe and other places,

314
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.559
<v Speaker 3>someone will be looking to fill the void and still

315
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>continue to profit by bringing them into those countries.

316
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Now one has to think about chicken or the egg.

317
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Is the market here because they were trafficking drugs in

318
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the first place. What's next for these two Meanwhile, right well.

319
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.920
<v Speaker 3>As you mentioned, Zambada has already had a first appearance

320
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 3>at a federal courthouse in El Paso, where he pleaded

321
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 3>not guilty to the charges. He'll go through the judicial process.

322
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 3>We're still a waiting word on one. Guzman will have

323
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 3>a first appearance and what plea he decides.

324
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>To enter Behorqez.

325
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you all right. So, as we were talking about

326
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 1>the arrests that were made on these gentlemen, I still

327
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>found it interesting that they were using our intelligence agencies

328
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.480
<v Speaker 1>surveillance systems to track down new targets to intimidate. I

329
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.559
<v Speaker 1>think that that's some that we absolutely needed to talk

330
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>about here on the Cage to Night. With that being said,

331
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.519
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about two spies that were recently

332
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 1>found by Greece and Cyprus that were Azerbaijohnny in origin,

333
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 1>and there's a belief that they were feeding information to Iram.

334
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 1>We're talking from Al Jazeera as a matter of fact

335
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 1>on this one, this will be an interesting one. Arrests

336
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 1>comes shortly after Cyprus detains ethnic azari Iszerbai Johnny suspects

337
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of planning an attack on a military base for Iram.

338
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Greek police have arrested in Azerbai Johnny national suspective of

339
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 1>spying on a NATO base on the island of Crete.

340
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Local media reported on Monday that the man was detained

341
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>the previous day on suspicion of espionage. Authorities are reportedly

342
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>investigating whether the case is linked to the arrest in

343
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>recent days of a man with Isaari roots excuse me,

344
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably mispronouncing it in Cyprus on suspicion of terror

345
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 1>related offenses linked to IRAM. The twenty six year old

346
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.599
<v Speaker 1>was arrested in after he was seen scouting the air

347
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and naval base of the United States at Suda Bay,

348
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 1>broadcaster ERT reported, citing police and intelligence sources. According to

349
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the report, authority said he was seen photographing strategically sensitive

350
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.799
<v Speaker 1>locations and tracking the movements of warships entering and leaving

351
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the bay. The base is a strategic US and NATO

352
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 1>facility for the Eastern Mediterranean. Police seized approximately five thousand

353
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>photographs and numerous videos. The suspect is expected to be

354
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 1>brought before a public prosecutor. The arrest came days after

355
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>a similar incident in Cyprus, where a man was detained

356
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>for alleged espionage and planning a terrorist attack quote unquote

357
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 1>on military facilities. I love how they put quote unquote

358
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>it's actually it's very simple to tell if something is

359
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 1>a terrorist attack or not. Does it have political means

360
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 1>or a political aim that this guy is going after.

361
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 1>That's the distinction between like a mass shooter and a

362
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>terrorist attack. A mass shooter is doing it because of

363
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the psycho. A terrorist attack is doing it because he's

364
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:03.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to further a political means or a goal of

365
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>some type. That's that's the dividing line. But anyway, the

366
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 1>suspect too, was also reported to be ethnically a Zeri

367
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 1>was said to be acting on behalf of Iran's Islamic

368
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Revolutionary Guard Corps. Of course he was according to Kryptoid

369
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Media cyprit Yeah okay, I didn't know. That's okay, people

370
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 1>from Cyprus, cyprit good to good to know. According to

371
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Cypriot media, citing government sources, he entered the country using

372
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 1>a British passport. Shocked. I'm completely shocked that an Islamic

373
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 1>terrorists found his way into another country using a British passport.

374
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 1>How did he get to Britain first? Well, yeah, that's

375
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of why Britain is UH is having its own

376
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:54.440
<v Speaker 1>issues right now. But anyway, Israel's foreign Minister Gideon Sar

377
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 1>said on Saturday that the IRGC had attempted to carry

378
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 1>out a terror attack targeting Israeli's again not exactly shocked

379
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>by that. Cypers and Crete light close to the Middle

380
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 1>East and have a in recent days been used as

381
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 1>a transit point amid the conflict between Israel and the

382
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>US and Iran, Iran whatever. Since the start of the hostilities,

383
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>reports of detected espionage have increased on both sides. Iran

384
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 1>has carried out multiple arrests since Israel launched its bombing

385
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 1>campaign on July thirteenth, and executed several others who had

386
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 1>been arrested in recent years. On Monday, Iran's judiciary said

387
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it had executed Mohammed Amen Madavi Sayeshtek Yeah, for intelligence

388
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 1>cooperation with the Zionist regime, which is Iran's term for Israel. Well, yeah,

389
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense. He was also convicted of collaborating with

390
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Iran International, a Persian language TV channel based in London

391
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 1>that is critical of the Iranian government and that Tehran

392
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>considered linked to Israel. Okay, I'm not gonna lie. Before

393
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I read this article, didn't know that there was a

394
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Persian language TV channel in England, there's an entire TV

395
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>channel that speaks of the Persian language because there's so

396
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>many people in England right now that are not English

397
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 1>by birth that they get their own designay channel, Okay, sure,

398
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 1>And of course if it's going to be critical of

399
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the IRGC and the Ayatola, it's clearly Israeli based. I

400
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get it whatever, although for the record,

401
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 1>eighty five percent of the country is critical of the Ayatola.

402
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>But sure. The previous day, Iran executed Majid Musayebi after

403
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.359
<v Speaker 1>saying he had been proved to have been working with Mussad.

404
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Late on Sunday, officials in Tehran reported that three people

405
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:50.839
<v Speaker 1>have been arrested in western province of Crementsha Kremansha, Yeah,

406
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>on allegations of espionage, one a national of the European country.

407
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Special judicial branches are now planned to provincial prosecutors are

408
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>now planned in provincial prosecutor's office and courts to handle

409
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Israeli linked espionage cases on an extraordinary basis. Officials added,

410
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Iran is the world's second most prolific executor after China,

411
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>according to human rights groups including Amnesty International. Again, that

412
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't exactly come as a shock to me. But okay,

413
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.519
<v Speaker 1>so these two dudes were arrested in Greece and in Crete,

414
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 1>or Greece and Cyprus. I know people are to the

415
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 1>people of those nations that may be listening, listen. I

416
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know where you draw your dividing lines. I'm just

417
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 1>reading the report. But we now have two guys that

418
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>were spying allegedly on behalf of Iran, waiting to do

419
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>some sort of a terrorist attack or some type of attack, which, okay,

420
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.720
<v Speaker 1>this all checks out to me. I don't know what

421
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Iran thinks they'll be able to do right now, and

422
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not because they got you know, they got smacked,

423
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.400
<v Speaker 1>right fine, America may have dropped a handful of bombs,

424
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Israel jacked up a lot of their military assets and airstrips,

425
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 1>not all, not all, I understand this, but the vast majority.

426
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 1>So I don't exactly know what Iran was planning or

427
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 1>if this was just them trying to get the intel

428
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 1>in case they saw an opening to shoot their shot.

429
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so they got discovered. And I don't know

430
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>if this is gonna affect the ceasefire. I don't even

431
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 1>know if the ceasefire is still currently standing. The last

432
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 1>report I heard was that there was a very uneasy ceasefire,

433
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 1>but each side was claiming that the other had already

434
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>broken it. I don't know if it kind of leveled

435
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>off and got peaceful again. If any of y'all know

436
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>anything on that, please speak up on it. I with

437
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 1>everything going on in America right now, I haven't really

438
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.440
<v Speaker 1>had much of my attention on Iran and Israel and

439
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Gaza and all that in the past week or two.

440
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.599
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, go for it.

441
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's been pretty quiet. I do try to pay attention,

442
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 5>and I'm very happy that it has been pretty quiet

443
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 5>compared to before, aside from a few people getting arrested

444
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 5>on each side, like you're talking about right now.

445
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I mean that's expected, right, spies and these types

446
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of things. This happens. This is another day at the

447
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>office for the Intel groups. But okay, so the ceasefire

448
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>has of now is still holding.

449
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yemen has blown up a couple of cargo ships

450
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 5>in the Red Sea.

451
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Who's cargo ships?

452
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 5>One of them belonged to Greece, let's see, I looked

453
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 5>them up earlier. But yeah, there are any ship that's

454
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 5>trading with Israel. They're threatening it ships that are going

455
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, they let other ships through, just not those.

456
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>This checks out, of course. Okay, so they haven't touched

457
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 1>America's boats though, So no, they haven't good things. Good things.

458
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't want them touching any boats, don't

459
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:58.519
<v Speaker 1>get me wrong. But also really not trying to go

460
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>to war with hoothy rebel. Over this foolishness, all right,

461
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>now moving on two more American conversations. There was an

462
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 1>incident that took place where a sniper started a fire

463
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>so that when the firefighters pulled up, he could start

464
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 1>shooting at them. He was killed. Let's learn about this.

465
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>This is from USA today. Sniper found dead after killing

466
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.680
<v Speaker 1>two firefighters in an ambush attack on Idaho Mountain. Two

467
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 1>firefighters were killed and residents were ordered to shelter in place,

468
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.880
<v Speaker 1>but the order was lifted after police found a dead

469
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>man in the woods. A sniper in Idaho started a

470
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>blaze and fatally shot two responding firefighters in an ambush

471
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 1>attack before being found dead hours later. The discovery of

472
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the body on Canefield Mountain, a popular hiking destination outside

473
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the city of Cord'alene Cordeline accumulated six hours of frenzied

474
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 1>activity that saw around three hundred local, state, and federal

475
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.119
<v Speaker 1>officers flocked to the area. It began with the suspects,

476
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 1>not yet been identified by police, lighting an early afternoon

477
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 1>fire and then shooting the first responders who came to

478
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>put it out. A third firefighter was also shot, but

479
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:17.279
<v Speaker 1>underwent surgery and is in stable condition. Utaney Kutinae coutinay

480
00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>kut and I I don't know, County Sheriff Bob Norris

481
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 1>said at the news conference. This was a total Ambulshy

482
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 1>told reporters these firefighters did not have a chance, which,

483
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, most firefighters are not carrying weapons when

484
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 1>they respond to the scene of a fire. So this

485
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely he was doing this just to try to

486
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.759
<v Speaker 1>have a couple bodies drop. He was a psycho. Authorities

487
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 1>found the shooter's body in a nearby firearm using cell

488
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>phone location data. Norris said it's unclear how the suspect died,

489
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 1>but Norris said law enforcement responding to the shooting had

490
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:58.519
<v Speaker 1>exchanged gunfire with him. I don't know, but it sounds

491
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.359
<v Speaker 1>like that might be his cause of death. Maybe not.

492
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he offed himself when he realized the jig was up,

493
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.880
<v Speaker 1>but also if there was a gun fight between him

494
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and law enforcement and then they found his body with

495
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a bullet in it, I okay. As investigator search for

496
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 1>these shooter's motives, firefighters have resumed battling the blaze, which

497
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>had grown to twenty acres by late Sunday night. Firefighters

498
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.079
<v Speaker 1>will work through the night to contain the fire before

499
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.839
<v Speaker 1>investigators conduct a more thorough search of the area. Nor

500
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.119
<v Speaker 1>said he believes more weapons will be found in the

501
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.759
<v Speaker 1>mountain terrain. Today is a day that will not be

502
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 1>forgot in this community. Bruce Mattair, chairman of the Kutine

503
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.599
<v Speaker 1>County Board of Commissioners, said at the news conference, it

504
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is a day the evil showed its face and we

505
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>lost two outstanding professionals of the highest quality. The timeline

506
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 1>of the Canefield Mountain attack. At one twenty one pm

507
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>local time, emergency dispatcher's received a phone call reporting a

508
00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>fire on the east side of Canfield Mountain or Canfield.

509
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Norris said. The caller did not reveal his name and

510
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.480
<v Speaker 1>is not believed to be the gunman. Firefighters arrived on

511
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the scene and at two pm firefighters broadcast that there

512
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>were shots fired. Hundreds of law enforcement agents responded to

513
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 1>the scene of the shooting. Officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect.

514
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Investigators use a cell phone to track the location to

515
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 1>a signal on Caingfill Mountain that had not moved since

516
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>three sixteen pm. Authorities honed in on the location and

517
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.079
<v Speaker 1>discovered a man who they believed to be the suspect.

518
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Just after seven forty pm, the Sheriff's office announced that

519
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 1>a man had been found dead and lifted the shelter

520
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 1>in place order. Now what do we know about the firefighters?

521
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Authorities did not publicly identify the firefighters killed and injured

522
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in the attack, nor supported that one of the same

523
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 1>firefighters worked for the Kutene County Fire and Rescue the

524
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 1>other work for the cord Delaine Fire Department. The firefighter

525
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 1>who was injured in the shooting also worked for the

526
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Coupdalene Fire Department. A procession was held for the firefighters

527
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night. Law enforcement swarms beautiful corner of the world.

528
00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Murrain, a longtime resident of Cordeline, said her quiet

529
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.759
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood was swarming with law enforcement as officers responded to

530
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the deadly attack marine, who frequently hikes the Canefield Mountain trail,

531
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:18.920
<v Speaker 1>said the helicopters for hours circled over the heavily forested

532
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>area and a vast amount of law enforcement were on

533
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the ground. She said, we have a beautiful corner of

534
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the world right here. It's nice and peaceful. She said

535
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that she stopped hearing the helicopters around the time the

536
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement lifted the shelter in place, and said a

537
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 1>man was found dead on the mountain. She also hope's

538
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>authorities will be able to concentrate on the fire, which

539
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>officials said was still burning and at risk of expanding.

540
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Her backyard is at the bottom of the mountain, and

541
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 1>she said that her husband will water their yard to

542
00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>prevent the fire from affecting them. So the two firefighters

543
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that were killed and third injured, they just pretty much

544
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>go into the official report of how it all took

545
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>down here. The FBI tactical teams responded to the shooting.

546
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.839
<v Speaker 1>FBI Director Dan Bongino said in a post on x

547
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.319
<v Speaker 1>that tactical tactical teams have responded to the scene of

548
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the shooting. It remains an active and very dangerous scene,

549
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.039
<v Speaker 1>he said. Sandra Barker, an FBI regional spokesperson, told USA

550
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Today in a statement that at this time I can

551
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.519
<v Speaker 1>confirm the Salt Lake City Field Office, which covers Idaho,

552
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:23.480
<v Speaker 1>is providing assistance. She was referring them to the Sheriff's

553
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:28.039
<v Speaker 1>office for more information. Attorney General Pambondi ordered prayers as

554
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 1>federal and local authorities responded to the attack. She made

555
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a post on X basically saying thank you to the

556
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 1>incredible agents and we are all praying for you. Secretary

557
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of Homeland Security Christy Nome said in a post on

558
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.400
<v Speaker 1>X that the federal agency was actively monitoring the scene.

559
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Pray for Idaho's first responders. So at Sanamahaws is a

560
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>great place for hikers, is a great destination. US Senator

561
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>for Idaho. Watching the situation, he says, I am monitoring,

562
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 1>monitoring the horrific reports out of Cordelin this evening. I

563
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 1>urged local residents to follow recommendations of law enforcements. All

564
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.039
<v Speaker 1>the things with the attacks now, how big is the fire?

565
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Authorities said that the blaze started out as a half

566
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>acre wildfire. Three fire engines were dispatched to the scene

567
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>around one point thirty PM, and officials said, The fire

568
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>continued to blaze as authorities attempted to locate the potential shooter.

569
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>So this is a little over a week old, and

570
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken, they got the fire put out

571
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:29.279
<v Speaker 1>and everything like that. But as we were talking about

572
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 1>news going on in America, I figured it was only

573
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>right that we give these fallen firefighters their credit. It

574
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy to me that people are losing their minds

575
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>to that level, and I mean starting a fire, being

576
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.960
<v Speaker 1>doing arson for the sake of trying to drop first responders.

577
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And at the same time, we have flooding in other

578
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>states and some of these I didn't realize it was

579
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 1>like this. I had heard some things about the Texas flood,

580
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 1>which we're about to talk about. I didn't realize there

581
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.200
<v Speaker 1>were more states that were seeing flooding at this moment.

582
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is still ongoing. This is from Fox News.

583
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Texas flood kills more than one hundred as the search

584
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 1>continues for dozens of people. Let's see, that's a quote

585
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 1>from Governor Abbot. That's fine, let's see here. Governor Abbot

586
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>announced Monday that additional state emergency response resources have been activated,

587
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>as he vows that Texas will remain engaged in every

588
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 1>missing person until every missing person is found and every

589
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 1>Texan recovers from this disaster. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, we might

590
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>as well just read that. There is still a thread

591
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of heavy rain with the potential to cause flooding in

592
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:44.119
<v Speaker 1>central Texas Hill Country, Big Country, and Concho Valley regions.

593
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 1>He continued. Texans are urged to remain weather aware. He

594
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the guidance of local officials and regularly monitor weather forecast.

595
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Texas will remain engaged until every missing person has found,

596
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:57.960
<v Speaker 1>every Texan recovers from the disaster. Under the Governor's direction,

597
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.199
<v Speaker 1>the Texas State Operations Center remains at a Level two

598
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>escalator response to support requests for assistance from local officials

599
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as they continue to respond to the rainfall and flooding

600
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>that is still impacting the state. The state has deployed

601
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 1>more than seventeen hundred personnel and more than nine hundred

602
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.559
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five vehicles and equipment assets to respond to

603
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the flooding. The Governor's office said more than twenty state

604
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.920
<v Speaker 1>agencies are responding to the flood threats across the state.

605
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:30.000
<v Speaker 1>State emergency response resources that remain available to local support

606
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:34.079
<v Speaker 1>emergency response efforts include the Texas Division of Emergency Management,

607
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Texas A and M engine in Texas A and M

608
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Engineering Extension Service. God, I don't know why that one

609
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.400
<v Speaker 1>tongue tied me Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Department

610
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of Public Safety, Texas National Guard, as well as fifteen others. Now, Tony,

611
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:53.239
<v Speaker 1>you are currently living in the Texas area. Has this

612
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>affected you in any way, shape or form.

613
00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 5>Not a huge amount. But it is way rainier than

614
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 5>it has been any of the other five years I've

615
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 5>ever lived here. So normally the Fourth of July is

616
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 5>dry and hot, and it's been very rainy in the

617
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Dallas area. And I just got to drive through Louisiana

618
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:19.239
<v Speaker 5>and Houston area and almost San Antonio earlier this week

619
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 5>and there was lots of rain everywhere, And this is

620
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.239
<v Speaker 5>this is kind of unusual. And one thing about this

621
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:27.400
<v Speaker 5>Curveville place is that it's far enough west. It's significantly

622
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 5>west of San Antonio, and normally that part of Texas

623
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.199
<v Speaker 5>gets way less rainfall than the east. So yeah, overall,

624
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 5>it's pretty surprising. When I grew up in California, we'd

625
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:40.760
<v Speaker 5>call this El Nino. I don't know if most of

626
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 5>the rest of the country's heard of this, but it's

627
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.880
<v Speaker 5>how you know, once every ten years they get way

628
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.480
<v Speaker 5>way more rain than usual. Maybe that happens here too,

629
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 5>but yeah, it was way more than normally. It was

630
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.440
<v Speaker 5>like fifteen inches in one day up there, and a

631
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.440
<v Speaker 5>bunch of people died. What's the death count? I think

632
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.280
<v Speaker 5>I heard one hundred.

633
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 1>It's over one hundred, and I don't know what the

634
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 1>as of the moment reports are saying, but I do

635
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 1>know there is over one hundred dead, and I want

636
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 1>to say one hundred and seventy five that have been

637
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 1>either missing. Yeah, one hundred and seventy five missing. And

638
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if they know the number of

639
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>displaced individuals as of this moment. So it's yeah, And

640
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:20.360
<v Speaker 1>it was a crazy rate, like it was fifteen inches

641
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 1>in how long.

642
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 5>I heard it was in a day the fourth of July,

643
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.320
<v Speaker 5>because I remember waking up the next day to all

644
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 5>the news about it.

645
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:31.639
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about this on the Cult Live last night,

646
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.199
<v Speaker 1>and somebody remind me on the rates here it rose

647
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:39.199
<v Speaker 1>like how many feet in like fifteen minutes or something

648
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 1>crazy like this. Basically, there was no way for people

649
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.119
<v Speaker 1>to prepare and get out of Harm's way on this one.

650
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, it's absolutely insane.

651
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:51.400
<v Speaker 5>Now I have also talking about This is just a

652
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 5>personal anecdote, but my daughter's birthday was like two weeks

653
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.079
<v Speaker 5>before the end of June, and she got a rain

654
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:59.400
<v Speaker 5>gauge for her birthday. And I thought, oh, well, we're

655
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.280
<v Speaker 5>not going to get to use this until next winter,

656
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:05.119
<v Speaker 5>but thanks for the rain gauge. Yeah, well now I

657
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.519
<v Speaker 5>guess we do get to use it.

658
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that was kind of a brutal irony gift actually,

659
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but uh yeah, I'm I'm it was somebody remind me

660
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of how many feet it was in like fifteen minutes

661
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.639
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. It was crazy. But and you said,

662
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 1>this town is even more west than San Antonio.

663
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:29.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's significantly west, north and west of San Antonio.

664
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:33.920
<v Speaker 5>And that part of Texas is normally pretty dry. It's

665
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 5>like the farther west you go. Yeah, the farther west

666
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 5>you go, the dryer it gets, the more stereotypical it gets.

667
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:41.880
<v Speaker 5>It's it gets to be like New Mexico. But you

668
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.199
<v Speaker 5>never know, it can it can rain like crazy from

669
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:46.840
<v Speaker 5>time to time. Remember a year or two ago, there

670
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.039
<v Speaker 5>was the music festival in Nevada that got uh it

671
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:56.039
<v Speaker 5>was like an El Nino year, and I think it

672
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.000
<v Speaker 5>was Coachella or something something like that, this big music

673
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:01.480
<v Speaker 5>festival got rid of really flooded, because that just happens

674
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:04.400
<v Speaker 5>every once in a while and the soil cannot take it.

675
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I heard that happen at burning Man a couple of

676
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:09.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago too, Like the entire desert just became like

677
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.199
<v Speaker 1>slop and quicksand kind of situation.

678
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:16.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was it. Burning Man. Yeah, in Texas and

679
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 5>Florida lead the country. And drownings too.

680
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:22.559
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I did Florida, I can understand Texas.

681
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:27.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, apparently, I just heard that earlier today. I was

682
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.280
<v Speaker 5>listening to another podcast. We got talking about how his

683
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.960
<v Speaker 5>son drowned and almost died and the hospital wanted to

684
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.960
<v Speaker 5>kill him, but he this is a tangent, but they

685
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 5>kept him alive for thirty seven days and then put

686
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:40.440
<v Speaker 5>him in a hyperbarrack chamber and he came back like

687
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 5>ninety nine percent, even after being almost like brain dead

688
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.559
<v Speaker 5>for thirty seven days. And the hospital was ready to

689
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:49.719
<v Speaker 5>harvest his organs right away. They were really trying to

690
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:54.039
<v Speaker 5>prep him to just say goodbye. But the guy he

691
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.840
<v Speaker 5>pushed and he got a sun back and he started

692
00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:00.559
<v Speaker 5>a website to help other families go and through that

693
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:05.880
<v Speaker 5>called drowned Child dot orger Drownedbaby dot org. So I

694
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 5>went to the website and educated myself a little bit.

695
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.960
<v Speaker 5>Maybe everyone should do that because it's the leading cause

696
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:12.599
<v Speaker 5>of death for kids under like four.

697
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Jesus see, I just had my son in swim lessons,

698
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 1>and I mean for that reason specifically, it's like survival

699
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.360
<v Speaker 1>swimming that he's doing stuff. But like, oh my god,

700
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know Texas led the nation on that one.

701
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:25.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a new information for me.

702
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I think I was from Texas, but the hyperbaric

703
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.639
<v Speaker 5>chamber was in New Orleans, so he had to make

704
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.480
<v Speaker 5>that trip. I don't know where exactly in Texas he

705
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:36.079
<v Speaker 5>was from, but as you know, that's a few hundred miles.

706
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, a little bit. Unless I just have a

707
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.000
<v Speaker 1>hard time believing that they didn't have some sort of

708
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.119
<v Speaker 1>facility with that type of equipment in Texas. I don't know.

709
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there was a real logical reason why they

710
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:49.760
<v Speaker 1>did that. I don't know, but a couple of quick.

711
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they just they just go on a procedure and

712
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.119
<v Speaker 5>if a drowned kid comes in, they go well, this

713
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:57.440
<v Speaker 5>is what we do, and you know, just say goodbye.

714
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.679
<v Speaker 5>And it was only because this guy had experience as

715
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 5>a diver that he knew that this therapy even existed.

716
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:06.480
<v Speaker 5>But it didn't even exist in Texas. So thirty seven

717
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.679
<v Speaker 5>days in he got his son transported to the New

718
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.440
<v Speaker 5>Orleans and the sun recovered.

719
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

720
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, hyperbaric therapy was what it was.

721
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 1>That is incredible and also terrifying. Home. God. So some

722
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.559
<v Speaker 1>fast facts about the Texas flooding here. It says at

723
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 1>least one hundred and four people were killed in central

724
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Texas in a flash flooding that began early on the

725
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 1>morning of the fourth of July Camp Mystic and I

726
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I had an article pulled up to show all of

727
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:41.639
<v Speaker 1>the young ladies and girls that were killed at Camp Mystic.

728
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:46.039
<v Speaker 1>It is heartbreaking and I didn't want to go through

729
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it all because it was like talking about these girls

730
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.679
<v Speaker 1>and where they're from and there are dreams that won't

731
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.000
<v Speaker 1>be realized now and all this, and I was like, oh,

732
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.599
<v Speaker 1>that's god awful. I feel horrible. Thoughts and prayers go

733
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:03.440
<v Speaker 1>out to those families, obviously, But it says Camp Missick

734
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:06.079
<v Speaker 1>in Hunt, Texas says it's morning the loss of twenty

735
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 1>seven campers and councilors. As of this afternoon, ten campers

736
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:14.039
<v Speaker 1>and one councilor remain missing. The National Weather Service issue

737
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:18.440
<v Speaker 1>multiple flash flood warnings on Monday for counties in central Texas.

738
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Wow all right, says the Houston Astros pledged a million

739
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.840
<v Speaker 1>dollars to aid with the relief efforts. Good on you

740
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Astros for that. That's nice, says Louisiana governor announces water

741
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.039
<v Speaker 1>rescue team has been deployed to Texas to support the

742
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.719
<v Speaker 1>flood response. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry said Monday that his

<v Speaker 1>feeding the people that are displaced in need food. Drone

783
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:01.840
<v Speaker 1>crashes into helicopter aiding in tech his flood recovery efforts.

784
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:06.599
<v Speaker 1>City officials warned drone operators to ground aircraft during flood

785
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:10.840
<v Speaker 1>rescue operations after an illegal flight caused a helicopter collision

786
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.719
<v Speaker 1>and emergency landing in Kerr County restricted airspace. They said

787
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.920
<v Speaker 1>all bold letters here. Please ground your drones until current

788
00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:23.719
<v Speaker 1>flood search and rescue operations are complete. This afternoon, a

789
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:27.440
<v Speaker 1>private drone illegally operating in restricted airspace colliding with the

790
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:34.039
<v Speaker 1>helicopter involved in emergency operations. Okay, so that's absolutely I mean, wow,

791
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.599
<v Speaker 1>let's see. Yeah, it's basically just going down the list

792
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of things. Let's see here, this is a quick little video.

793
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 6>Let's bring in Kelly Raybon, who's two boys escaped the

794
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:50.679
<v Speaker 6>flooding from another camp about six miles north of camp

795
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.599
<v Speaker 6>missed it, Kelly, thank you for being with us, can't

796
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:56.840
<v Speaker 6>you're probably still shaking from all of this. I can't

797
00:45:56.840 --> 00:46:00.960
<v Speaker 6>even imagine what this was like. Give us a sense

798
00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:03.800
<v Speaker 6>of the story as you started to understand that something

799
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:06.000
<v Speaker 6>was going on on the river along where all of

800
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:06.840
<v Speaker 6>these camps are.

801
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 4>Of course, so on July fourth, we received a text

802
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.960
<v Speaker 4>that was sent out to all of the parents that

803
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:21.760
<v Speaker 4>said that they had sustained high waters overnight. But you

804
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:24.480
<v Speaker 4>know that they were trying to keep the campers safe

805
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:28.159
<v Speaker 4>as best as possible. And at that point, you know,

806
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.119
<v Speaker 4>you think, okay, well, maybe there's just a lot of rain.

807
00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:35.599
<v Speaker 4>But once I turned on the news and I live

808
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.559
<v Speaker 4>in Houston, and so that's four hours away from me,

809
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:40.119
<v Speaker 4>so I had to I had to really work to

810
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:44.599
<v Speaker 4>find more information out. But once I saw this statement

811
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:49.000
<v Speaker 4>from Camp Mystic that you know, if you're if your

812
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 4>daughter is okay, if you've not been notified yet, I thought,

813
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.760
<v Speaker 4>oh my gosh, this is far more serious than that

814
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.280
<v Speaker 4>initial text message would have led me to believe. And

815
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:01.639
<v Speaker 4>then within a couple of hours I decided I needed

816
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:04.639
<v Speaker 4>to get in the car and go, you know, a

817
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.480
<v Speaker 4>mom on a mission to get to my kids.

818
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:12.079
<v Speaker 6>So I know your sons talked about it. Tell us

819
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:14.960
<v Speaker 6>how old your boys are and their names. I know

820
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:17.440
<v Speaker 6>that you know they've had an off of talking about this.

821
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.599
<v Speaker 6>I completely understand. But can you tell us what they

822
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.119
<v Speaker 6>said about what happened and what they remember.

823
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

824
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:28.559
<v Speaker 4>So, Brandon, my nine year old, this was his third

825
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:34.039
<v Speaker 4>year to attend Camp la Hunt and Brock, my just

826
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.320
<v Speaker 4>now seven year olds, turned seven two weeks ago. This

827
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.599
<v Speaker 4>was his first time to attend camp, and they'd only

828
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:43.599
<v Speaker 4>been there for one full day at this point. They

829
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:47.440
<v Speaker 4>arrived late Wednesday afternoon, so one full day there and

830
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:50.199
<v Speaker 4>you know what they said was as the water in

831
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.480
<v Speaker 4>Brock's cabin he was in one of three cabins that

832
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:58.559
<v Speaker 4>ended up, you know, underwater and flooding. And as the

833
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:03.679
<v Speaker 4>water started to come in, his brave camp counselors, who

834
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:07.920
<v Speaker 4>were really just kids themselves, college kids, they encouraged the

835
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:09.800
<v Speaker 4>boys to get on the first bunk and then to

836
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:11.719
<v Speaker 4>get on the second bunk, and before you know it,

837
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:15.119
<v Speaker 4>they were lifting the little boys up to the rafters

838
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:18.719
<v Speaker 4>to keep them out of harm's way, as the windows

839
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:22.800
<v Speaker 4>were breaking, as the door was coming off, as a

840
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:26.559
<v Speaker 4>wall was coming down. I just can't imagine how terrifying

841
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:29.639
<v Speaker 4>this was. And it was happening, you know, as there

842
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 4>was as it was dark, no power, you know, and

843
00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:35.519
<v Speaker 4>you're so unfamiliar in this situation, how do you ever

844
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:36.239
<v Speaker 4>prepare for that?

845
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we're looking at these charts. It rose twenty five

846
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.920
<v Speaker 6>feet in one hour in the area of Camp Mystic.

847
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.480
<v Speaker 6>So how high were they on the top? How high

848
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:49.679
<v Speaker 6>was the water in the cabin? And then did they

849
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:51.199
<v Speaker 6>how did they get out of there?

850
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 4>So my seven year old rock he said that the

851
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:04.039
<v Speaker 4>water was probably he estimated three plus feet in his cabin. Now,

852
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:06.679
<v Speaker 4>you know, he is still in a state of shock

853
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:11.039
<v Speaker 4>and kind of slowly processing what all he remembers, but

854
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.159
<v Speaker 4>he remembers it being at least high enough to break

855
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:20.679
<v Speaker 4>the window out, and the camp director, Scott bravely came

856
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:24.679
<v Speaker 4>at the end to get them out of the cabins,

857
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:29.679
<v Speaker 4>pulling them down from the rafters and taking them to safety. Brandon, meanwhile,

858
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:33.880
<v Speaker 4>was in a higher elevated cabin, and so his cabin,

859
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.480
<v Speaker 4>while it didn't receive any water, it took in a

860
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:41.519
<v Speaker 4>bunch of boys who were in flooded cabins and then

861
00:49:41.559 --> 00:49:43.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, they were just left to kind of they

862
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.440
<v Speaker 4>didn't know what was going on. They just entertained each

863
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.280
<v Speaker 4>other all day long as best they could.

864
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:50.880
<v Speaker 6>So what are your thoughts on this whole thing? You know,

865
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:55.280
<v Speaker 6>would you send them back to camp given what happened?

866
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:56.760
<v Speaker 6>How do you feel about it?

867
00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:59.960
<v Speaker 4>I need to think it through, but I can tell

868
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.800
<v Speaker 4>tell you that great in my older one, with you know,

869
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:06.880
<v Speaker 4>two summers of camp under his belt, says in a

870
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:10.360
<v Speaker 4>heartbeat he would go back, and he really hopes. One

871
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:12.760
<v Speaker 4>of the reasons why they were, you know, have been

872
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.440
<v Speaker 4>talking about it and we're comfortable with me talking about it,

873
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.519
<v Speaker 4>is because they wanted to represent the pride that they

874
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 4>have in camp. Law Hunter and I remember as a

875
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:26.400
<v Speaker 4>child the hill country camps that I attended, what a

876
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.679
<v Speaker 4>difference it made for me. And so I mean, as

877
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:34.119
<v Speaker 4>as this is a massive tragedy, but as with tragedies,

878
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:39.360
<v Speaker 4>hopefully we learn major, major lessons from this. And so

879
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm just so hopeful that we can really

880
00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:46.679
<v Speaker 4>take a hard look at at what went wrong and why.

881
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm so twenty five feet in one hour. That

882
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:57.679
<v Speaker 1>is terrifying, Oh my god. And then we look down here,

883
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not trying to I'm not trying to use

884
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.519
<v Speaker 1>this to politicize anything, but apparently some people are white

885
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:08.840
<v Speaker 1>house fires back at depraved dooms, using deadly flood to

886
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:12.559
<v Speaker 1>target Trump. This is only a minute and a half.

887
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm very curious what they're gonna say in response to this,

888
00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:24.239
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's clearly Trump's fault that floods happened. Let's see, in.

889
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.039
<v Speaker 7>The wake of this once in a generation natural disaster,

890
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:30.800
<v Speaker 7>we have seen many falsehoods pushed by Democrats such as

891
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.599
<v Speaker 7>Senator Chuck Schumer and some members of the media. Blaming

892
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.679
<v Speaker 7>President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie and

893
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:41.480
<v Speaker 7>it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning.

894
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:44.559
<v Speaker 7>Here are the facts and the lead up to this

895
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:48.440
<v Speaker 7>tragic natural disaster. The National Weather Service did its job.

896
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:53.760
<v Speaker 7>Despite unprecedented rainfall, the National Weather Service executed timely and

897
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:58.840
<v Speaker 7>precise forecasts and warnings. On July third, the National Weather

898
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:03.360
<v Speaker 7>Service Office and awsometon San Antonio, Texas, conducted forecast briefings

899
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.840
<v Speaker 7>for emergency management in the morning and issued a floodwatch

900
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.719
<v Speaker 7>in the early afternoon. Flash flood warnings were also issued

901
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:12.840
<v Speaker 7>on the night of July third and in the early

902
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:16.320
<v Speaker 7>morning of July fourth, giving preliminary lead times of more

903
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:20.119
<v Speaker 7>than three hours before flash flooding conditions occurred. In The

904
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:23.920
<v Speaker 7>National Weather Service Office in New Brunfels, which delivers forecasts

905
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:27.599
<v Speaker 7>for Austin, San Antonio and the surrounding areas, had extra

906
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:31.480
<v Speaker 7>staff on duty during the storms, despite claims of the contrary.

907
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:35.199
<v Speaker 7>So to any person who has deliberately lied about these

908
00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:39.400
<v Speaker 7>facts surrounding this catastrophic event, you should be deeply ashamed.

909
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.800
<v Speaker 7>At this time, the administration's focus will be giving on

910
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:46.000
<v Speaker 7>giving the victims in their communities the support they deserve

911
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:50.239
<v Speaker 7>during these recovery efforts. In this tragic time. May God

912
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:53.719
<v Speaker 7>bless the great people of Texas, especially the parents who

913
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:55.320
<v Speaker 7>have lost their children.

914
00:52:55.960 --> 00:52:59.960
<v Speaker 1>So real quick whenever the fires took place in LA

915
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:03.440
<v Speaker 1>people were pointing the finger at Newsome. There was a

916
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:06.639
<v Speaker 1>reason for that. Yes, he may not have started the fires,

917
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:09.199
<v Speaker 1>and I am still the belief that that was way

918
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:12.239
<v Speaker 1>more planned than what we were led to believe, especially

919
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:14.639
<v Speaker 1>when you can look from an aerial view and see

920
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that all three of the initial fires were started at

921
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:21.119
<v Speaker 1>the exact same time at different points of the city.

922
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:26.400
<v Speaker 1>But either way, he is the one who drained the

923
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:29.079
<v Speaker 1>water reservoir that was supposed to be used in case

924
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:32.639
<v Speaker 1>of emergency to save some sort of fish population or

925
00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:35.239
<v Speaker 1>something like that. I don't know, but there's a reason

926
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.760
<v Speaker 1>why the finger was pointed at him. I can't imagine

927
00:53:38.760 --> 00:53:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a world where Trump is getting targeted by Democrats for

928
00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:45.039
<v Speaker 1>this being his fault or something like that. Although yes,

929
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.920
<v Speaker 1>he did just cut funding to FEMA. Okay, fine, he

930
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:54.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't cut it entirely. There was still a pretty sizable

931
00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:57.719
<v Speaker 1>amount of relief effort and staff within FEMA that can

932
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.800
<v Speaker 1>go to work to save these people and help them

933
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:03.559
<v Speaker 1>out this time. But even still, twenty five feet in

934
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:07.239
<v Speaker 1>one hour, how how is that Trump's fault? Although yes,

935
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:11.440
<v Speaker 1>there are people of the conspiratorial world of which I

936
00:54:11.480 --> 00:54:14.000
<v Speaker 1>am a part of I don't necessarily believe in what

937
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to say, but I do consider myself a

938
00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:20.159
<v Speaker 1>decent conspiracy theorist who believe that this was all a

939
00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:23.840
<v Speaker 1>part of a government agenda and over cloud seating to

940
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:27.280
<v Speaker 1>flood these areas. I don't know all the facts on it,

941
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.000
<v Speaker 1>so I can't speak intelligently enough on this. We do

942
00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:32.639
<v Speaker 1>know the cloud seating is a thing. We do understand

943
00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:35.119
<v Speaker 1>that they do make it rain, and we understand that

944
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:39.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they oversaturate an area and cause flooding like this.

945
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not denying any of those things. I just can't

946
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:45.480
<v Speaker 1>speak with any kind of real authority on whether this

947
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:48.840
<v Speaker 1>is one of those situations or not. Now moving on

948
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.199
<v Speaker 1>to the next one, Texas is not the only state

949
00:54:51.320 --> 00:54:54.239
<v Speaker 1>experiencing flooding in the United States as of this morning

950
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.320
<v Speaker 1>or as of this moment. New Mexico flash flooding kills

951
00:54:57.320 --> 00:55:00.800
<v Speaker 1>at least three, including two young children. Video shows floodwaters

952
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.760
<v Speaker 1>carrying away a house. This is from CBS News as

953
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.320
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact. Yeah, okay, so this is the

954
00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:08.719
<v Speaker 1>video of the house being washed away.

955
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:12.079
<v Speaker 8>Oh, are also dealing with the aftermath of deadly meantime

956
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:14.840
<v Speaker 8>in New Mexico, People living in the mountain community of

957
00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:18.760
<v Speaker 8>Ruidoso are also dealing with the aftermath of deadly flash floods.

958
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.199
<v Speaker 8>At least one home washed away in heavy rainfall yesterday,

959
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:26.880
<v Speaker 8>and three people were killed, including two children. Emergency crews

960
00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:29.840
<v Speaker 8>rescue dozens of people trapped in their homes or caught

961
00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.599
<v Speaker 8>in fast moving waters. Officials urged residents to seek higher

962
00:55:33.599 --> 00:55:36.079
<v Speaker 8>ground ahead of those storms, and they say many people

963
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:39.480
<v Speaker 8>did heed those warnings, which saved lives. Now, this same

964
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:43.119
<v Speaker 8>community in New Mexico dealt with devastating what wildfires last year,

965
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:47.400
<v Speaker 8>which factored into what happened this week. CBS News National

966
00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:50.440
<v Speaker 8>correspondent Carter Evans joined us from Los Angeles with more

967
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:52.760
<v Speaker 8>on this, and Carter, can you give us an update

968
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:54.480
<v Speaker 8>on what's happening on the ground right now?

969
00:55:55.159 --> 00:55:57.239
<v Speaker 9>Okay, so right now, the good news is the water

970
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.280
<v Speaker 9>has receded. The floodwater has receded. But this it happened

971
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.559
<v Speaker 9>kind of late in the afternoon yesterday and the floodwater

972
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:05.159
<v Speaker 9>rose so quickly. I think that warning came in at

973
00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:08.480
<v Speaker 9>around three pm local time, and within an hour the

974
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:12.119
<v Speaker 9>river there, the Rio Ruidoso, had risen from two feet

975
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:16.280
<v Speaker 9>to twenty feet. That was a record record level. So

976
00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:19.239
<v Speaker 9>today they are searching for people in areas that they

977
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:23.159
<v Speaker 9>could not get to last night after darkfell. But right

978
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:25.119
<v Speaker 9>now we don't believe any other people are missing. At

979
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:27.920
<v Speaker 9>least no people have been reported missing. They're just checking

980
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.079
<v Speaker 9>to make sure no one else has gone missing.

981
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:34.199
<v Speaker 8>And Carter residents responding to warnings there to seek higher ground.

982
00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:36.840
<v Speaker 8>That's been credited with saving lives out there. What kind

983
00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:39.960
<v Speaker 8>of warning system is in place there and especially noteworthy

984
00:56:39.960 --> 00:56:42.159
<v Speaker 8>given what's happening in Texas well.

985
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.159
<v Speaker 9>Interesting, you know you mentioned this fire that they had

986
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 9>last year in twenty twenty four. They do have an

987
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:50.960
<v Speaker 9>emergency system there in the town of Ridoso. It has

988
00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:53.599
<v Speaker 9>sirens on it, but apparently a few of those were

989
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:56.280
<v Speaker 9>burned down during the fire, and that system has not

990
00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:59.920
<v Speaker 9>been rebuilt entirely, though they are discussing plans to rebuild

991
00:56:59.920 --> 00:57:03.000
<v Speaker 9>it and upgrade it so they can get warnings out quickly.

992
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:05.119
<v Speaker 9>But as I said, this first warning came out at

993
00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:08.960
<v Speaker 9>around three pm yesterday afternoon, and this was one of

994
00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:12.000
<v Speaker 9>the most serious warnings that the National Weather Service can give.

995
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.400
<v Speaker 9>It was a flash flood emergency in all capitals. They

996
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:18.679
<v Speaker 9>were telling people to seek higher ground, that word got

997
00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:21.679
<v Speaker 9>out very quickly. You have seen this video that we're

998
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:24.920
<v Speaker 9>looking at now. It is just intense. We had rushing

999
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.920
<v Speaker 9>rivers of water in the streets. You saw that house

1000
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:32.159
<v Speaker 9>floating down a road. Intense intense water in just a

1001
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:33.000
<v Speaker 9>matter of hours.

1002
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:36.159
<v Speaker 8>And Carter, we've been talking about that wildfire from last year.

1003
00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:39.039
<v Speaker 8>How did burn scars from that fire player role in

1004
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:41.559
<v Speaker 8>the severity of the of these floods.

1005
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:43.840
<v Speaker 9>You know, this is something that we have to worry

1006
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:48.559
<v Speaker 9>about after all wildfires, especially these very hot wildfires that

1007
00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:51.519
<v Speaker 9>basically scorch everything. And that's what happened in this case.

1008
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:54.639
<v Speaker 9>And when you look at these hillsides now they're bare.

1009
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:57.039
<v Speaker 9>There's just a couple of twigs, The trees are gone,

1010
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.519
<v Speaker 9>the brush is gone. There's nothing there to hold the

1011
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:04.400
<v Speaker 9>dirt in place except for this crust that forms from

1012
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:05.280
<v Speaker 9>the top layer.

1013
00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:06.440
<v Speaker 5>Of dirt after a wildfire.

1014
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:10.599
<v Speaker 9>And that crust can sometimes feed hydrophobic, meaning that it

1015
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:13.159
<v Speaker 9>repels water. So when you get a bunch of rain

1016
00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:17.320
<v Speaker 9>really quickly in a concentrated area, it just rolls right

1017
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:19.679
<v Speaker 9>off the top of that soil and starts picking up

1018
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:23.440
<v Speaker 9>speed and debris as it goes downhill. And that's what

1019
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:24.920
<v Speaker 9>happened yesterday in Ruidoso.

1020
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:28.880
<v Speaker 1>So went from two feet to twenty feet in an hour,

1021
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:35.000
<v Speaker 1>eighteen foot in an hour. Jesus, Okay, here we go.

1022
00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:37.599
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk, We're gonna read the article here. Flash

1023
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:41.880
<v Speaker 1>flooding from torrential rain hit Ruidoso, New Mexico, killing at

1024
00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:45.000
<v Speaker 1>least three people and prompting dozens of rescue. Officials say

1025
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:47.639
<v Speaker 1>a house was even being carried downstream. We just watched

1026
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:50.119
<v Speaker 1>the video from that, the mayor, Len Crawford said during

1027
00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a news conference. When the victims were a four year

1028
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:55.000
<v Speaker 1>old girl, a seven year old boy, in an unidentified

1029
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:58.119
<v Speaker 1>man who was approximately forty to fifty years old. Crawford

1030
00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't release the children's identities, saying it was out of

1031
00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:04.519
<v Speaker 1>respect for their families. The roy Doso Police Chief, Stephen Miner,

1032
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:08.000
<v Speaker 1>said the children were related. I would assume so. The

1033
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:11.280
<v Speaker 1>three victims were reported missing from an RV park and

1034
00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:14.079
<v Speaker 1>their remains are found downstream between a quarter mile and

1035
00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:17.239
<v Speaker 1>two miles away. Authorities are trying to track down one

1036
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:20.239
<v Speaker 1>person who was unaccounted for. Three other people were taken

1037
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to a hospital for treatment and were in stable condition.

1038
00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Approximately sixty five swift water rescues were carried out during

1039
00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the flooding. The mayor said, we had people in trees,

1040
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.519
<v Speaker 1>we had people in the water, people just trapped in

1041
00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:36.800
<v Speaker 1>houses and with water coming into them. The fire chief

1042
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Cad Hall said, you name it, we were having to

1043
00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:43.199
<v Speaker 1>address it. Officials were monitoring weather conditions Wednesday for additional threats.

1044
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:48.280
<v Speaker 1>The roy Deso emergency manager Eric Kuyler quealer, I don't know,

1045
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:52.000
<v Speaker 1>tell reporters. A preliminary assessment found that at least thirty

1046
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.199
<v Speaker 1>five to fifty homes were damaged or lost in the flooding.

1047
00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.559
<v Speaker 1>So the flooding right here, if we're looking at the

1048
00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:00.719
<v Speaker 1>map again, for anybody listening, I would like to see this.

1049
01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Come check out the Cajun Night on Patreon Lincoln. The

1050
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>description below This is on the Ridoso River, which I'm

1051
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>not if I'm not mistaken, is a tributary of the

1052
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Rio Grande. I might be wrong on that. I don't know,

1053
01:00:14.239 --> 01:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>but the Ruidoso. The town is located in the southern

1054
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico area. The mountain village is located about a

1055
01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>three hour drive southeast of Albutquerque. Wow. New Mexico Governor

1056
01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Luhan Grisham said in a statement Tuesday night that

1057
01:00:31.320 --> 01:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>she had signed an emergency declaration request to get federal

1058
01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>response teams and repair resources on the ground immediately. We're

1059
01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>encouraged that additional federal resources are already on the way.

1060
01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats said, why do they have to mention her

1061
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>political party? Why did that need to be in the list?

1062
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>No one asked that at this time. But okay, the

1063
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico is mobilizing every resource we have, but ruy

1064
01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Doso needs federal support to recover from this disaster. We've

1065
01:00:57.039 --> 01:01:00.159
<v Speaker 1>watched Texas receive the federal resources they desperately needed, and

1066
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>roy Doso deserves the same urgent response. The roy Doso River,

1067
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>the ruy Rio Riodoso. I'm probably mispronouncing these words. My apologies.

1068
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>A river in Lincoln County rose to a record breaking

1069
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty feet, five feet higher than the previous high water

1070
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>mark the village, said. CBS meteorologist Nikki Nolan noted that

1071
01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:25.719
<v Speaker 1>one river gauge water levels leaped almost nineteen feet in

1072
01:01:25.800 --> 01:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>a mere half hour. Y'all nineteen feet in thirty minutes.

1073
01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>That is absurd, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said

1074
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in a statement Tuesday night, that the National Weather Service

1075
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>issued a floodwatch for the south Central Mountains, including Rodoso

1076
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>at two forty six am Mountain time. That warning was

1077
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to be in effect from noon until eight pm local time.

1078
01:01:52.360 --> 01:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>They said flash flood warning was issued for the South

1079
01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Fork Burn Scar in Lincoln County, New Mexico at two

1080
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve and included a considerable flooding tag, which INAA said

1081
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:08.239
<v Speaker 1>automatically triggers a wireless emergency alert to be issued for

1082
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the warned area. They said the warning was upgraded to

1083
01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>a flash flood emergency about thirty minutes later. Yeah, I'll

1084
01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>bet it was. Crawford said on Wednesday that a wireless

1085
01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>emergency alert warning people to get to higher ground was

1086
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>issued at one fifty eight pm for one area, and

1087
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>another issued for two other areas at two nineteen pm.

1088
01:02:29.119 --> 01:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>An outdoor warning system was activated because it's reserved for

1089
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>full town evacuations. She said the localized nature of yesterday's

1090
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:40.519
<v Speaker 1>flood did not warrant the full talent evacuation. I mean,

1091
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's a true statement or not.

1092
01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Twenty feet in an hour is I don't know to

1093
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>what level that does require, but okay, I'm sure they

1094
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>did what they could on this one. We had public works,

1095
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we had fire, we had police, we had parks and

1096
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>wreck folks going along the Rio Ridoso and evacuating communities

1097
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>as the wall of water was headed this way. Emergency

1098
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>warnings have emerged as a point of contention in the

1099
01:03:05.800 --> 01:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Texas flash flooding. The video post on social media shows

1100
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a fast moving water carrying a home down river. Yeah,

1101
01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the home we watched. Carpenter whose art studio was

1102
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>swept away during the flash flood last year, told the

1103
01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Associated Press that she was riding her motorcycle through town

1104
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday afternoon when the storm started to pick up and

1105
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>she sought shelter at the riverside Downshift Brewing Company with

1106
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:32.119
<v Speaker 1>dozens of other people. She started to film debris rushing

1107
01:03:32.159 --> 01:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>down through Roydso when she spotted a house floating by

1108
01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:39.159
<v Speaker 1>with a familiar turquoise door. It belonged to the family

1109
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>of one of her best friends.

1110
01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:42.039
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

1111
01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>The woman who actually got the video of the house

1112
01:03:44.199 --> 01:03:46.679
<v Speaker 1>being pushed down the river knew the family that lived there.

1113
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Her friend's family was not in the house and is safe.

1114
01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>She said, well, that's good. I've been in that house

1115
01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:53.519
<v Speaker 1>and have memories in the house, so seeing it come

1116
01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>down the river was just pretty heartbreaking. The area around

1117
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:00.519
<v Speaker 1>the Ry Rio Rio Doso and much of Lincoln were

1118
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:03.519
<v Speaker 1>sports last year by the wildfires, making the soil unstable

1119
01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and more prone to flooding. Two people died in the

1120
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>South Fork Consult fires and one hundreds of homes were

1121
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>destroyed in June of twenty twenty four. Wow. So again,

1122
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.519
<v Speaker 1>as Texas is getting a lot of eyes on them

1123
01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:20.199
<v Speaker 1>for everything going on, we also need to make sure

1124
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:22.559
<v Speaker 1>that we are keeping our eyes, our thoughts and prayers

1125
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and send some resources New Mexico's way. And apparently they're

1126
01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>not the only two states that are experiencing some flooding.

1127
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:33.639
<v Speaker 1>As we move on to our next topic. Multiple fatalities

1128
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:39.559
<v Speaker 1>reported in tropical Storm Chantel or Chantel flooding in North Carolina. Okay,

1129
01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and play this little video here. It's

1130
01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>only thirty seconds thirty six seconds long. Yeah you know what?

1131
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Why not? Tropical Storm Shantel slams North Carolina is from

1132
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>USA today Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It drenched the central

1133
01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:58.559
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina, causing severe flooding and submerging cars. The storm

1134
01:04:58.599 --> 01:05:01.679
<v Speaker 1>weakened after making lamb fall, but dropped up to eight

1135
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>inches of rain in some areas. WHOA, I know, eight

1136
01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>inches may not seem like a lot whenever we were

1137
01:05:09.039 --> 01:05:11.239
<v Speaker 1>just reading from the other reports it was twenty feet

1138
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>in an hour and stuff. But I mean, especially for

1139
01:05:13.559 --> 01:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>mountaintowns where that water will pool, eight inches can be

1140
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>quite drastic. Three possible tornadoes hit Raleigh and the surrounding areas. Wow,

1141
01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:28.079
<v Speaker 1>look at this. Chantel is expected to move through Virginia

1142
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and West Virginia with more rain ahead. All right, so

1143
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>let's pick up with what the article is saying again.

1144
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>This is from USA Today. Multiple people died in central

1145
01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina after Tropical Storm Chantel brought a deluge of

1146
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>rain and flooding to the area on July sixth, According

1147
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>to state officials and local reports, the Raleigh Durham The

1148
01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Raleigh Durham area saw nearly twelve inches of rainfall in

1149
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours, while neighboring areas reported at least nine inches,

1150
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>according to the Asheville Citizen Times. Part of USA Today's

1151
01:05:59.039 --> 01:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>network of rain caused flooding in several areas, including Almant's, Chatham, More,

1152
01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Orange and Person counties. According to Citizen Times, Chantelle was

1153
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:13.679
<v Speaker 1>downgraded to a tropical depression by July seventh, but was

1154
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>still dumping rain across the mid Atlantic. North Carolina Governor

1155
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Josh Stein said at a news conference on July eighth

1156
01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:23.519
<v Speaker 1>that officials from North Carolina Department of Health and Human

1157
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Services were still working to confirm the total number of

1158
01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:29.719
<v Speaker 1>fatalities from the flooding, but that there are a handful

1159
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>of reported deaths to date. The NCDHS, that's the Department

1160
01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of Human Health and Services, said it does not currently

1161
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>have verified information on storm related deaths, but referred to

1162
01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:46.559
<v Speaker 1>USA Today to local law enforcement. The North Carolina Department

1163
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.119
<v Speaker 1>of Emergency Management told the USA Today in a statement

1164
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that the state's emergency response team is aware potential fatalities

1165
01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>linked to the storm as reported by law enforcement. Okay,

1166
01:06:55.360 --> 01:06:58.559
<v Speaker 1>so they just kind of re confirmed what they just said.

1167
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Now three days in the Chatham County, North Carolina, including

1168
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:06.599
<v Speaker 1>missing voters in Chatham County, which was just west of Raleigh,

1169
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>three people died in flood's, officials confirmed to USA Today.

1170
01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Sandra portnoy Hirshman, eighty three years old, of Pittsburgh, North Carolina,

1171
01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:19.039
<v Speaker 1>died around eleven thirty pm local time on July sixth,

1172
01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>when her car became submerged in water. Steve Newton, Chatham

1173
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>County's emerginal Management, told USA Today two individuals who went

1174
01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>voting on the Jordan Lake around five pm on July

1175
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>sixth also died. Newton said one voter was recovered on

1176
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.559
<v Speaker 1>July eighth, while the second individual was found July ninth.

1177
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Both are waiting positive identification from the Medical Examiner's Office.

1178
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Randall Rigsby, Chatham County Sheriff's Office public information officer, told

1179
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>USA Today. Orange County, North Carolina woman dies in flood

1180
01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:51.039
<v Speaker 1>while driving to work. Monica Butner was driving to work

1181
01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>in Hillsboro, North Carolina, on the evening of July sixth,

1182
01:07:53.519 --> 01:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>when her car got stuck in floodwater. Orange County Sheriff's

1183
01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Office told the release. She was fifty eight years old.

1184
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Called nine one one around ten thirty local time amid

1185
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the heavy rainfall, but the call was disconnected. Firefighters soon

1186
01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>located her unoccupied car. First responders found her dead around

1187
01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>five pm July seventh. Officials said that she was almost

1188
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>completely obscured by falling trees and debris. Approximately one hundred

1189
01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and twenty yards downstream from her vehicle. Wow, reports are

1190
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>saying that more are dead in the North Carolina flood.

1191
01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:27.359
<v Speaker 1>At least two others reportedly died in the flooding. According

1192
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to multiple local reports, a man in Alamance County died

1193
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:34.119
<v Speaker 1>after his vehicle swept away by floodwaters on July sixth,

1194
01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and a twenty three year old woman in Graham was

1195
01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>also found or Graham, I believe it'd just be Graham

1196
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>was also found dead inside her car submerged in water.

1197
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:45.279
<v Speaker 9>Wow.

1198
01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:48.319
<v Speaker 1>The USA has reached out but has received nothing back.

1199
01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Got you, Okay, So everybody there is wild weather things

1200
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:57.560
<v Speaker 1>that are taking place as of this moment. Right now,

1201
01:08:57.600 --> 01:09:00.479
<v Speaker 1>we do. We have a lot of news going on. Yes,

1202
01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the Epstein files, the Diddy case got finished, which I

1203
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>still can't believe he didn't get any kind of real

1204
01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:10.319
<v Speaker 1>legal recourse for what happened. But all that to say,

1205
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:13.319
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like we as Americans have more pressing

1206
01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>things in our face as of this moment. But let

1207
01:09:17.159 --> 01:09:19.159
<v Speaker 1>me go ahead and check the chat and see what

1208
01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>y'all have shared as far as things to be brought up.

1209
01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, uh oh Ravenson something. Jeffrey Epstein's secret bank

1210
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:32.119
<v Speaker 1>account is still moving millions, and no one knows why.

1211
01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Now that's interesting Royce is saying. I think something that

1212
01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>also sucks is the whole Epstein thing is that it's

1213
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:44.439
<v Speaker 1>a huge more on all the positive things that have

1214
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>happened thus far. When you say positive things that have

1215
01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:49.359
<v Speaker 1>happened thus far, what do you mean, Royce?

1216
01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:51.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking about.

1217
01:09:51.760 --> 01:09:55.479
<v Speaker 1>The the board of pologies, all of the good thing

1218
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:58.359
<v Speaker 1>that Trump has done for our country so far, That's

1219
01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. Yeah, Yeah, it's not a good look,

1220
01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>don't be wrong. It's just that's kind of a big

1221
01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>one that a lot of people have had eyes on

1222
01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>for years now, and for it to just be wrapped

1223
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:12.039
<v Speaker 1>up and said, yep, all good here, nothing more to

1224
01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about. It's like, ah, bro, that's just not a

1225
01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>good look. I agree. Let's see Tony spoke in here

1226
01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:23.239
<v Speaker 1>and says I can't prove it, but I bet some

1227
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of the cartels are supported by the CIA, so we

1228
01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>will never get rid of them. This is also the

1229
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:32.439
<v Speaker 1>reason why drugs will never be relegalized. The CIA needs

1230
01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to them to be illegal for illegal trade to occur. Yeah,

1231
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I one hundred percent agree with that. As a matter

1232
01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of fact, we did an episode on the War on

1233
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:43.359
<v Speaker 1>drugs not too terribly long ago, and that is confirmed.

1234
01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:46.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not just CIA or FBI or border patrol or

1235
01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>local and federal politics in general. But there's an absolute

1236
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:54.039
<v Speaker 1>reason for this. And I mean we can go it

1237
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.239
<v Speaker 1>depends on to what level you really want to go here.

1238
01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>If you say that the overarching goal is to keep

1239
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>prisons occupied, because prisons are privately owned entities. And for

1240
01:11:05.960 --> 01:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Pam Bondi, for instance, used to be a lobbyer for

1241
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:13.399
<v Speaker 1>one of these big private prison conglomerates, right, and now

1242
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>she's the attorney general, so that makes sense. But yeah,

1243
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that's a conspiracy theory on that. One. Another would be

1244
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.399
<v Speaker 1>to say that it is to overall just dumb down America, right,

1245
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:27.479
<v Speaker 1>And it's kind of a it's a political leg that

1246
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:29.479
<v Speaker 1>you can pull at any time you need. Some new

1247
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>politician comes into office and swears he's going to clean

1248
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:35.039
<v Speaker 1>up the town, clean up the streets and all these things.

1249
01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:38.359
<v Speaker 1>He makes a couple of big buss a couple of

1250
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>big arrests, and the next time he comes up for

1251
01:11:40.840 --> 01:11:43.239
<v Speaker 1>reelection he has that to go off of to say,

1252
01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:45.319
<v Speaker 1>look at all the good that I did. In reality,

1253
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that was just the stuff that was publicized. While he

1254
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>allowed like twenty or thirty shipments to come through, he

1255
01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:54.039
<v Speaker 1>only stopped too and made them big. It's it's absolutely

1256
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.159
<v Speaker 1>a political ploy. And yeah, as far as the not

1257
01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:00.159
<v Speaker 1>being able to prove a thing, I mean, honestly, option

1258
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>fast and furious that was done under the Obama administration.

1259
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:07.279
<v Speaker 1>We'll show you that the CIA sold American weapons to

1260
01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the cartels. Those American weapons then made it their way

1261
01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:13.079
<v Speaker 1>up back across the border and was used in the

1262
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.239
<v Speaker 1>killing of a California police officer. And they checked the

1263
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>SERO numbers and they know for sure that a three

1264
01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>letter agency of the United States put that weapon into

1265
01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the hands of that criminal. So, I mean, it's it's

1266
01:12:25.479 --> 01:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>absolutely confirmed at this point. Let's see here, Yemen has

1267
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>sunk a ship called Eternity C. One headline says it's

1268
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the second in a week. Also saw MV Star as

1269
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>another cargo ship or Magic Seas. Okay, okay, yeah, so

1270
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:45.199
<v Speaker 1>Yemen is still doing that. There were the houthies, not Yemen.

1271
01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>The hoothy rebels are still doing their their thing. Azaris

1272
01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>are twenty four percent of Iran's population. I am pretty

1273
01:12:55.800 --> 01:13:02.279
<v Speaker 1>sure Mussad Pozeshkin is a Za yeah, no, I mean,

1274
01:13:02.319 --> 01:13:05.640
<v Speaker 1>they absolutely do hold a pretty large chunk of the

1275
01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Iranian population. So that's the thing. Whenever we're saying that

1276
01:13:08.279 --> 01:13:12.560
<v Speaker 1>these people were for, they weren't necessarily like doing espionage

1277
01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:17.159
<v Speaker 1>for Azerbaijan. I believe they were probably, I can't say

1278
01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>for sure, there's still the ongoing investigation, but the two

1279
01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:23.119
<v Speaker 1>gentlemen that were arrested, it would stand to reason that

1280
01:13:23.159 --> 01:13:27.119
<v Speaker 1>they were doing intel things for even if it's not Iran.

1281
01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:31.359
<v Speaker 1>I would say, some type of terrorist organization, and find

1282
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:34.319
<v Speaker 1>me a Muslim terrorist organization that is not funded and

1283
01:13:34.359 --> 01:13:37.399
<v Speaker 1>supported by Iran. It's very difficult to find that.

1284
01:13:37.479 --> 01:13:37.680
<v Speaker 5>Well.

1285
01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean maybe if you go I thought isis was, Oh.

1286
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:50.680
<v Speaker 5>No, quite the opposite. But anyway, the overall political landscape

1287
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.039
<v Speaker 5>over there, the way most people feel is that Azerbaijan

1288
01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:59.279
<v Speaker 5>and Iran are adversarial towards each other, and Iran is

1289
01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:04.640
<v Speaker 5>most friendly with Armenia, and Azerbaijan is more friendly to

1290
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:09.439
<v Speaker 5>Kurdistan and to Israel even a little bit. And the

1291
01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:12.359
<v Speaker 5>Kurds they kind of don't get along with anybody really,

1292
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:15.399
<v Speaker 5>but right except Azerbaijan and Israel a little bit.

1293
01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, from what I've been told, the Kurds are. They

1294
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>are Muslim, they are Islamic, but as far as how

1295
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the Sunnis and the Sheaes look at them, they are

1296
01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:28.279
<v Speaker 1>like just one tick above being Jewish.

1297
01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:33.640
<v Speaker 5>From the Yeah, the Kurds, Yeah, they have territory in Turkey, Syria,

1298
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:37.560
<v Speaker 5>Iraq and Iran. And the one thing that all for

1299
01:14:37.760 --> 01:14:40.640
<v Speaker 5>those country as agree on is they don't like Kurds

1300
01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:42.920
<v Speaker 5>and they don't want them to have an independent country.

1301
01:14:43.560 --> 01:14:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well Turkey, I can understand, especially because if

1302
01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:48.279
<v Speaker 1>they were to do that, they would lose a third

1303
01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of their voting base Kurds. If I'm not mistaken, like

1304
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:55.439
<v Speaker 1>the largest per census. You know what I'm saying, Trust

1305
01:14:55.479 --> 01:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the senses as much as you want. They have like

1306
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.199
<v Speaker 1>a third of the Lamb mass in Turkey that are

1307
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>heavily occupied by the Kurds. And they were talking about

1308
01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:07.079
<v Speaker 1>doing a Kurdistan, like the founding of a Kurdish nation

1309
01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:13.119
<v Speaker 1>that would take a third of Turkey, northern Syria, the

1310
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:16.479
<v Speaker 1>northwest of Iraq. It's it's none of these countries want

1311
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to lose any land mass, and they absolutely don't want

1312
01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:20.479
<v Speaker 1>to lose a population like that either, even if it's

1313
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:23.319
<v Speaker 1>a population they can't stand it's still tax revenue, so

1314
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're not Nobody is going to sign off

1315
01:15:26.720 --> 01:15:31.239
<v Speaker 1>on the Kurdish nation becoming a thing. However, I'm curious

1316
01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>if this was to take place, would that in fact

1317
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>take some heat off of Israel from these nations because

1318
01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>they would then be fighting after two people that they

1319
01:15:40.560 --> 01:15:42.199
<v Speaker 1>hate or two countries that they hate.

1320
01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:46.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but yes, Israel. Yeah, Israel has a

1321
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:51.279
<v Speaker 5>reputation for supporting Kurds politically, and getting back to the

1322
01:15:51.319 --> 01:15:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Azari question, Azari's within Iran are largely under suspicion of

1323
01:15:56.960 --> 01:16:01.359
<v Speaker 5>being unpatriotic because Iran and Azerbaijan or adversarial to each other.

1324
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:04.239
<v Speaker 5>And I think Iran used to own all that territory,

1325
01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:10.279
<v Speaker 5>but the Soviet Union created Azerbaijan in about nineteen twenty,

1326
01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:18.520
<v Speaker 5>and Armenians also resent that too because Azerbaijan And sorry

1327
01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.159
<v Speaker 5>did I did I say Georgia or Armenia. I met Armenia, Yeah,

1328
01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:22.960
<v Speaker 5>he said Armenia.

1329
01:16:23.039 --> 01:16:26.319
<v Speaker 1>But they took way from Armenia to make Azerbaijhan, didn't they?

1330
01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:31.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, maybe a little bit, but actually more

1331
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:34.840
<v Speaker 5>recently between twenty twenty and just this past year, Armenia

1332
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:40.319
<v Speaker 5>lost a very large exclave called Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan.

1333
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember hearing about that, but I'm unfamiliar with

1334
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>how that took place. Was it a like a land grab,

1335
01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>was it a military takeover? How did that all shake out?

1336
01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, first I think Azerbaijean bombed it or something, and

1337
01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:02.760
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the Armenian population left in twenty twenty

1338
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:05.439
<v Speaker 5>and then just in twenty twenty three or twenty four,

1339
01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:08.960
<v Speaker 5>I think Ozerbajehan moved in a bunch of troops and said,

1340
01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:12.720
<v Speaker 5>all your Armenians get out, just walk to the main

1341
01:17:13.680 --> 01:17:17.039
<v Speaker 5>land mass of Armenia. And they did. Wow. I don't

1342
01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:19.359
<v Speaker 5>think many people died, but it was a pretty serious

1343
01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:24.640
<v Speaker 5>loss for territory. Okay with the Armenia, Yeah, they used

1344
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:26.800
<v Speaker 5>to There used to be lots of Armenians scattered in

1345
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:32.239
<v Speaker 5>eastern Turkey and the Armenian genocide ended that. So now

1346
01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:36.159
<v Speaker 5>there's no Armenians left in Turkey, but in southeastern Turkey

1347
01:17:36.199 --> 01:17:37.199
<v Speaker 5>that's where the Kurds live.

1348
01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, Now, would you would it be fair to

1349
01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:44.680
<v Speaker 1>compare this, I mean, aside from the bombing. Aside from

1350
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the bombing, would it be fair to compare this to

1351
01:17:47.079 --> 01:17:49.039
<v Speaker 1>the Crimea takeover of twenty fourteen.

1352
01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:56.119
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think it was kind of a demographic replacement,

1353
01:17:56.119 --> 01:18:01.199
<v Speaker 5>because I'm pretty sure that gornol Kherbach was overwhelmingly Armenian

1354
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:06.439
<v Speaker 5>until recently Gotcha, and in Crimea, I don't think there's

1355
01:18:06.479 --> 01:18:11.720
<v Speaker 5>been any demographic change, at least not significant. A few

1356
01:18:11.720 --> 01:18:15.840
<v Speaker 5>people have moved back and forth, but Crimea is last

1357
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:19.279
<v Speaker 5>I read fifty percent Russian, twenty five percent Ukrainian, and

1358
01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:24.560
<v Speaker 5>twenty five percent Tatar, which is an indigenous Muslim population

1359
01:18:24.720 --> 01:18:27.960
<v Speaker 5>with their own language. They're kind of Turkish, and I

1360
01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:31.039
<v Speaker 5>actually knew a girl of that background way back twenty

1361
01:18:31.119 --> 01:18:34.920
<v Speaker 5>years ago, but I haven't seen her in twenty years,

1362
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:37.479
<v Speaker 5>but she spoke Russian fluently. I remember that much.

1363
01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:41.039
<v Speaker 1>I thought the Tartars were ethnic, like a tribal ethnic

1364
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.079
<v Speaker 1>group out of Russia. The Yakuts are another one that

1365
01:18:44.119 --> 01:18:47.279
<v Speaker 1>we just talked about on the Fire Eagle Nest episode

1366
01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:51.000
<v Speaker 1>we just did. It's like a Russian tribal group in Siberia.

1367
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought the Tartars were kind of also a Russian

1368
01:18:53.560 --> 01:18:56.039
<v Speaker 1>tribal group. I didn't know they were a Turkish based group.

1369
01:18:57.359 --> 01:19:01.960
<v Speaker 5>They're Central Asian and those people are also related to Turks,

1370
01:19:02.359 --> 01:19:07.199
<v Speaker 5>to Turkmen. My grandfather told me he was told in

1371
01:19:07.239 --> 01:19:10.319
<v Speaker 5>the fifties when he was studying linguistics that Korean was

1372
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:13.640
<v Speaker 5>related to Turkish, But that's been more poop pooed and

1373
01:19:13.680 --> 01:19:16.600
<v Speaker 5>debunked now and I never really believed that much. But

1374
01:19:16.840 --> 01:19:20.760
<v Speaker 5>like everywhere from Kazakhstan to Turkey, including a lot of

1375
01:19:20.800 --> 01:19:24.880
<v Speaker 5>southern Russia, is actually kind of related. They're Muslim and

1376
01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:26.159
<v Speaker 5>their Turkic.

1377
01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. I had never heard the linguistic connection between Korea

1378
01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and Turkey. That's a wild claim. But then again, I've

1379
01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>also heard people, even on the Cult of Conspiracy, We've

1380
01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:45.640
<v Speaker 1>had people say that the connection to Semitic languages. You

1381
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>can look at the Welsh language and even some of

1382
01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>the Gaelic languages and find direct connections between Hebrew and

1383
01:19:54.720 --> 01:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>traditional Irish Gaelic. I personally do not see that at all,

1384
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:03.880
<v Speaker 1>not even just their alphabet, but the words, the pronunciations

1385
01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:06.720
<v Speaker 1>or any of that. But some people make these connections.

1386
01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not smart enough to look at it with that

1387
01:20:09.680 --> 01:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of a tilted lens. I guess I don't know.

1388
01:20:12.560 --> 01:20:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Much of Ukraine, by the way, including the part they're

1389
01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:19.039
<v Speaker 5>fighting over right now. Between Russia and Ukraine that used

1390
01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:23.720
<v Speaker 5>to be Turkic. The Cossacks I believe were Turkic people.

1391
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:28.279
<v Speaker 5>They spoke a Turkic language, but they were Orthodox Christian

1392
01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:31.399
<v Speaker 5>and well, I could be wrong about some of this,

1393
01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.479
<v Speaker 5>but if you go back far enough, like three hundred

1394
01:20:33.520 --> 01:20:36.880
<v Speaker 5>years or more, that's it was a very different demographic

1395
01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:38.920
<v Speaker 5>landscape there before the Slavs moved in.

1396
01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, you're I think you're on the money on this. Yeah,

1397
01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the Cossacks were kind of a weird. I don't want

1398
01:20:46.920 --> 01:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>to call them a warlord group, and it's also unfair

1399
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to call them like a mercenary group too, although multiple

1400
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>cultures and multiple kingdoms have hired them as mercenaries. But

1401
01:20:59.279 --> 01:21:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that's just kind of what they did. They were a

1402
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>nomadic tribal people that yeah, I've not mistaken there. They

1403
01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:09.560
<v Speaker 1>were more of a Turkic language background, and I don't

1404
01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:13.000
<v Speaker 1>know ethno, I want to say Ethno. Linguistically, they were

1405
01:21:13.039 --> 01:21:16.239
<v Speaker 1>from at least Turkic origins or they were like some

1406
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>like second or third cousins of the Turks, something along

1407
01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:21.840
<v Speaker 1>these lines. But then, yeah, the Slavic influences kind of

1408
01:21:22.039 --> 01:21:25.199
<v Speaker 1>enveloped them as time went on and everything. But yeah,

1409
01:21:26.039 --> 01:21:29.199
<v Speaker 1>interesting things. Okay, now, as we're on the topic of

1410
01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Russia and everything, what have you heard about this? Thirty

1411
01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand troops from North Korea are making their way to

1412
01:21:36.119 --> 01:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the Ukrainian front and the whole two hundred thousand more

1413
01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:42.439
<v Speaker 1>conscripts from Russia. What's your take on this?

1414
01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:47.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, I guess Ukraine, I mean, sorry, in North Korea,

1415
01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:50.119
<v Speaker 5>there's still got more guys to send. I think the

1416
01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:53.399
<v Speaker 5>population in North Korea is something like twenty or thirty million,

1417
01:21:53.520 --> 01:21:55.800
<v Speaker 5>and they probably have a mandatory draft.

1418
01:21:56.640 --> 01:21:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1419
01:21:57.119 --> 01:21:59.279
<v Speaker 5>And also I got to correct myself. I think I

1420
01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:03.680
<v Speaker 5>commented it chat last night that Russia isn't conscripting, but

1421
01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:06.880
<v Speaker 5>then I googled it later and it looks like, yeah,

1422
01:22:06.880 --> 01:22:12.399
<v Speaker 5>they actually are, and they have been since late April. Yeah. Now,

1423
01:22:12.439 --> 01:22:15.399
<v Speaker 5>this is not full blown shove a rifle into somebody's

1424
01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:17.760
<v Speaker 5>hands and send them to the front. It's more like, well,

1425
01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:21.520
<v Speaker 5>you're being conscripted. You're gonna be in a support role.

1426
01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:23.880
<v Speaker 5>You're not going to be fighting, because if you wanted

1427
01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:26.239
<v Speaker 5>to fight, you probably would have volunteered for that already.

1428
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:30.239
<v Speaker 5>But you're gonna replace guys who are already doing support roles.

1429
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:34.479
<v Speaker 5>And they volunteered and they are probably gonna be put

1430
01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:37.119
<v Speaker 5>on the front line to fight. It's kind of the

1431
01:22:37.159 --> 01:22:39.560
<v Speaker 5>same switch or u that was going on a couple

1432
01:22:39.600 --> 01:22:42.479
<v Speaker 5>of years ago when the airports got flooded, when Russia

1433
01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:45.680
<v Speaker 5>was calling up reservists, those reservists were only going to

1434
01:22:45.760 --> 01:22:48.000
<v Speaker 5>go to other parts of the Russian border. They weren't

1435
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:50.399
<v Speaker 5>going to go to Ukraine. They were relieving people and

1436
01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:56.359
<v Speaker 5>like Kazakhstan and Mongolia so that those people could go

1437
01:22:56.439 --> 01:23:03.239
<v Speaker 5>to Ukraine. My overall impression is Russia's gonna win this.

1438
01:23:03.439 --> 01:23:07.279
<v Speaker 5>I've been saying that for a while, and I don't

1439
01:23:07.279 --> 01:23:10.479
<v Speaker 5>think they're gonna need to be scraping the bottom of

1440
01:23:10.479 --> 01:23:13.359
<v Speaker 5>the barrel or forcing too many guys to fight who

1441
01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:15.840
<v Speaker 5>don't already want to fight. They already have a pretty

1442
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:18.680
<v Speaker 5>high military volunteer rate, kind of like this country does.

1443
01:23:18.760 --> 01:23:21.800
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people join it because they get educational

1444
01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:26.079
<v Speaker 5>benefits and other benefits out of it. And yeah, they're

1445
01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:29.920
<v Speaker 5>going to win this eventually. They're just grinding through, gaining

1446
01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:36.560
<v Speaker 5>a couple square miles every day, and Ukraine it's falling slowly,

1447
01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:38.720
<v Speaker 5>but one of these days it might be an all

1448
01:23:38.760 --> 01:23:41.319
<v Speaker 5>at once kind of thing where it falls off a

1449
01:23:41.359 --> 01:23:44.600
<v Speaker 5>cliff and Europe in America don't want them to fall

1450
01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:48.920
<v Speaker 5>off the cliff. I think Trump wants some negotiated settlement,

1451
01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:51.399
<v Speaker 5>but he did agree to send a bunch more weapons

1452
01:23:51.399 --> 01:23:54.520
<v Speaker 5>there a day or two ago. I was a little

1453
01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:58.039
<v Speaker 5>disappointed at that, but whatever, it just is what it is,

1454
01:23:58.079 --> 01:24:01.880
<v Speaker 5>and I'm still gonna hope that March of twenty twenty six,

1455
01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:03.840
<v Speaker 5>I think this will be over.

1456
01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Now with the North Korean troops making their way to

1457
01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:13.159
<v Speaker 1>the front, there's a talk being had about how Russia

1458
01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:16.119
<v Speaker 1>is going to give North Korea some more modern and

1459
01:24:16.279 --> 01:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>updated tech. There is a fear that I've seen a

1460
01:24:22.800 --> 01:24:26.640
<v Speaker 1>few different news anchors and content creators and all these

1461
01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:29.319
<v Speaker 1>things proposed to say that we may be looking at

1462
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>the beginnings of a new arms race on the Korean

1463
01:24:32.439 --> 01:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>peninsula because Korea is mostly or North Korea is dealing

1464
01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>with mostly outdated equipment and outdated tactics. None of their

1465
01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:43.479
<v Speaker 1>people have seen combat since the Korean War any of

1466
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>these things. And it made sense to me whenever I

1467
01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>mean North Korea, being a pariah state as they are,

1468
01:24:48.239 --> 01:24:51.079
<v Speaker 1>they don't have many allies. Russia is one of them,

1469
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>so them sending a contingent of troops to the front

1470
01:24:55.039 --> 01:24:57.479
<v Speaker 1>to get some of their elder units to get some

1471
01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>battlefield testing and experience. It may sense to me thirty

1472
01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand more. I'm not even saying that's more their elite

1473
01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:07.880
<v Speaker 1>units or how many you know, battalions that is in

1474
01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the North Korean Army. I got no idea, But of

1475
01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:14.399
<v Speaker 1>the ten thousand they sent, I want to say, seven

1476
01:25:14.439 --> 01:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand have been either KIA or or I don't want

1477
01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to use the term MIA, but they're no longer on

1478
01:25:22.079 --> 01:25:25.479
<v Speaker 1>the front line from name your reason. The guys that

1479
01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>are still there have like acclimated to being on the

1480
01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:31.079
<v Speaker 1>front lines and in the trench warfare and all these things.

1481
01:25:31.720 --> 01:25:35.159
<v Speaker 1>And thirty thousand more that's definitely not a little bit.

1482
01:25:35.239 --> 01:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not a lot either, but it's it's very much

1483
01:25:38.039 --> 01:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>needed on the front from anybody. And if Russia gives

1484
01:25:41.399 --> 01:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>them more modern tech that they have not had access to,

1485
01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:49.319
<v Speaker 1>they're saying that they may use this tech to create

1486
01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:52.039
<v Speaker 1>better weapons systems that they can then use to attack

1487
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:54.000
<v Speaker 1>South Korea. What is your take on this?

1488
01:25:55.239 --> 01:25:57.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I bet that's one hundred percent true. And I

1489
01:25:57.239 --> 01:25:59.359
<v Speaker 5>wasn't thinking about that, but it makes sense. This is

1490
01:25:59.560 --> 01:26:04.479
<v Speaker 5>probably a quid pro quote kind of situation. Russia and

1491
01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:07.760
<v Speaker 5>North Korea. From what I've read, they've been very public.

1492
01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:11.279
<v Speaker 5>They've been making very public statements about how our relationship

1493
01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:13.520
<v Speaker 5>is as strong as it's ever been and it's going

1494
01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:15.840
<v Speaker 5>to get stronger, and we got a formal alliance now

1495
01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:19.279
<v Speaker 5>basically I think they signed some paperwork to really formalize it.

1496
01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:23.840
<v Speaker 5>But I've also seen that China does not make alliances

1497
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:27.960
<v Speaker 5>with anybody. So China and Russia, Shiji Ping and Putin

1498
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:31.800
<v Speaker 5>say our relationship is stronger than ever, but China doesn't

1499
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:34.880
<v Speaker 5>want to actually be a formal ally with anybody, and

1500
01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:37.479
<v Speaker 5>North Korea is a little more desperate. They don't really

1501
01:26:37.520 --> 01:26:41.720
<v Speaker 5>have any allies, so reading Russia really really helps them

1502
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:43.680
<v Speaker 5>out on that front. This is a quid pro quo

1503
01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:47.279
<v Speaker 5>relationship for both of them. They're both seeing some benefits,

1504
01:26:47.800 --> 01:26:52.680
<v Speaker 5>and I'm sure Russia appreciates the troops for North Korea.

1505
01:26:53.680 --> 01:26:56.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm really wondering what this is going to

1506
01:26:56.199 --> 01:26:59.359
<v Speaker 5>do for Trump's motivation to try to make peace with

1507
01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:02.159
<v Speaker 5>the North Korea, which I think he sincerely tried in

1508
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.720
<v Speaker 5>his first term, because he tried to meet Kim two

1509
01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:09.319
<v Speaker 5>or three times, one time down in like Singapore or something,

1510
01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:12.520
<v Speaker 5>and then the second time in Korea, and maybe there's

1511
01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:15.720
<v Speaker 5>a third time. I don't remember, but John Bolton kind

1512
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:19.680
<v Speaker 5>of torpedoed that whole thing. Yeah, And I think it

1513
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:24.439
<v Speaker 5>would have been good for Trump to at least end

1514
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:28.640
<v Speaker 5>the war formally and try to get a peace agreement there,

1515
01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:33.199
<v Speaker 5>because Trump was Trump's main geopolitical vision is that China

1516
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.760
<v Speaker 5>is our main enemy or adversary, enemy, competitor, or whatever

1517
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:38.279
<v Speaker 5>you want to call them, and then we need as

1518
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:42.680
<v Speaker 5>many partners in the in the global competition against China

1519
01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:45.680
<v Speaker 5>as we can get, and North Korea might be a

1520
01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:49.520
<v Speaker 5>useful one because contrary to what so many advisors say,

1521
01:27:50.279 --> 01:27:55.159
<v Speaker 5>China actually doesn't control North Korea. They get along kind

1522
01:27:55.159 --> 01:27:58.920
<v Speaker 5>of sort of half the time, but not really.

1523
01:27:59.119 --> 01:28:03.399
<v Speaker 1>So it's a Chiavellian friendship if nothing else. That's it's

1524
01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for the betterment of each other. It's not like any

1525
01:28:06.039 --> 01:28:08.880
<v Speaker 1>of them actually care about each other by any means.

1526
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:11.720
<v Speaker 5>Uh huh. I think I think Trump could have and

1527
01:28:11.960 --> 01:28:13.960
<v Speaker 5>should have made peace with the North Korean and it's

1528
01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:16.159
<v Speaker 5>a shame he didn't, And you know, I wonder if

1529
01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:17.800
<v Speaker 5>he'll try to do it again. I hope he does.

1530
01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he got, like you said, further than any

1531
01:28:20.640 --> 01:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>other president has since the end of the Korean War.

1532
01:28:23.479 --> 01:28:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've ever had a president go to

1533
01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>North Korea in the way that he did and get

1534
01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:31.199
<v Speaker 1>paper signed. But yeah, just a couple of years later,

1535
01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:34.279
<v Speaker 1>North Korea blows up the railways and the bridges connecting

1536
01:28:34.279 --> 01:28:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the two countries, which weren't being used by any means,

1537
01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but they were there. Then they're trying to launch ships

1538
01:28:39.880 --> 01:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and up their navy, which I'm not inherently upset with

1539
01:28:44.079 --> 01:28:48.119
<v Speaker 1>a country with a coastline trying to have a naval presence.

1540
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:50.439
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense to me, but that was also kind

1541
01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of a bit of an embarrassment. So yeah, we'll see

1542
01:28:53.760 --> 01:28:55.840
<v Speaker 1>what happens. And I don't know for a fact that

1543
01:28:55.960 --> 01:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Kim John will actually take the new and turn it

1544
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:04.199
<v Speaker 1>into weapons and attack South Korea. I highly suspect that.

1545
01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm like ninety nine percent sure that if nothing else,

1546
01:29:07.079 --> 01:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll use it to do even louder saber rattling, you know.

1547
01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:14.279
<v Speaker 1>And Okay, but I don't. I don't know how it's

1548
01:29:14.319 --> 01:29:16.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna shake out. And to your point, no, China's not

1549
01:29:16.560 --> 01:29:20.800
<v Speaker 1>friends with North Korea. They have supported them historically speaking,

1550
01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:25.479
<v Speaker 1>but also it wasn't too terribly long ago whenever North

1551
01:29:25.520 --> 01:29:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Korea was messing around with nukes that China sent like

1552
01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:31.319
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand troops to the North Korean border to

1553
01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>basically tell them, like yo, stop, like enough where we

1554
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:37.560
<v Speaker 1>are even getting tired of y'all's of y'all shit. So

1555
01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't think Jijaping is particularly fond of

1556
01:29:42.159 --> 01:29:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Kim Jong. It's more like an enemy of my enemy

1557
01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:48.439
<v Speaker 1>situation when it benefits all parties. Yeah.

1558
01:29:48.479 --> 01:29:51.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, every country also wants to have the most advanced

1559
01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:55.600
<v Speaker 5>weapons they possibly can, and it's often legitimately or sincerely

1560
01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:59.159
<v Speaker 5>for self defense. Yeah, you know, I think Israel's possession

1561
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:02.399
<v Speaker 5>of nuclear weapon bes is mostly for their own self defense,

1562
01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:07.119
<v Speaker 5>that's but nobody wants another country to have powerful weapons,

1563
01:30:07.199 --> 01:30:10.119
<v Speaker 5>even if it is just for that that country's own

1564
01:30:10.159 --> 01:30:12.800
<v Speaker 5>self defense, because it does tip the whole balance.

1565
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:14.640
<v Speaker 4>You.

1566
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Know, Like I ran, for instance, they've been screaming death

1567
01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to Israel and death to America for decades. Like okay,

1568
01:30:22.279 --> 01:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>even the other Muslim countries don't want them to have nukes.

1569
01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, if I don't.

1570
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:35.119
<v Speaker 5>Know, shouts against nuclear and chemical weapons, they've never pursued

1571
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:40.239
<v Speaker 5>them since the revolution. They might they Yeah, they never have,

1572
01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:43.479
<v Speaker 5>but you know, they might start if they really feel

1573
01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:46.359
<v Speaker 5>like that's the only way to ensure their survival.

1574
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>But then also, like let's say Laos. If Laos decided

1575
01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:54.479
<v Speaker 1>that they wanted nukes, and not to anybody who's listening,

1576
01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I am not a geopolitical expert on all countries and

1577
01:30:57.640 --> 01:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Southeast Age. I'm just dowing a shot out of a

1578
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>cannon here. I don't know how many countries would really

1579
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:06.319
<v Speaker 1>be pissed off at that. I mean, their neighbors would

1580
01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:08.199
<v Speaker 1>probably have something to say, I'm sure, but it's not

1581
01:31:08.359 --> 01:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>like America would be like, oh, we have to stop

1582
01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:15.479
<v Speaker 1>these these Laustian people from the habit Like nobody's at

1583
01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:17.920
<v Speaker 1>war with them. They're not at war with anybody there.

1584
01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They're just kind of doing their own thing right now,

1585
01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:22.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, That's what I'm saying. I don't know if

1586
01:31:22.159 --> 01:31:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a country was pretty neutral, likes Switzerland. Historically, that's one

1587
01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of the most neutral countries on Earth. Ever, if Switzerland

1588
01:31:31.640 --> 01:31:34.199
<v Speaker 1>decided they wanted to have nukes, I don't know if

1589
01:31:34.239 --> 01:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>anybody would really have a problem with that, or if

1590
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that would cause a massive up I don't know. Iran,

1591
01:31:39.960 --> 01:31:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I could understand what that would cause a people I

1592
01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:43.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know well.

1593
01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:47.159
<v Speaker 5>In the late twentieth century, when the Non Proliferation Agreement

1594
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:49.000
<v Speaker 5>was being proposed and I think it was signed in

1595
01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:53.720
<v Speaker 5>nineteen seventy, the world was full of all these developing countries.

1596
01:31:54.800 --> 01:31:57.279
<v Speaker 5>We're trying to say as publicly as possible that we

1597
01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:00.079
<v Speaker 5>don't want nukes because that'll just draw us into the

1598
01:32:00.159 --> 01:32:03.840
<v Speaker 5>whole US versus Soviet struggle and we just want no

1599
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:08.119
<v Speaker 5>part of that. It would have so amusually saying. North

1600
01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:11.960
<v Speaker 5>Korea was even saying it was very public saying we

1601
01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:14.920
<v Speaker 5>don't want nukes in nineteen eighty nine, and they only

1602
01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:18.000
<v Speaker 5>started pursuing them after two thousand and three because George W.

1603
01:32:18.079 --> 01:32:20.840
<v Speaker 5>Bush included them in the Access of Evil speech that

1604
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:24.239
<v Speaker 5>he gave and Bill Clinton's agreed framework of nineteen ninety

1605
01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:28.479
<v Speaker 5>four went away. But the US was supposed to help

1606
01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:32.239
<v Speaker 5>North Korea obtain some light water nuclear reactors for power

1607
01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:35.640
<v Speaker 5>after the nineteen ninety four agreement, and the US never did.

1608
01:32:36.199 --> 01:32:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I think the gamble there was that that was the

1609
01:32:38.880 --> 01:32:41.920
<v Speaker 5>year Kim Il sung died and New Gingrich and the

1610
01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Republican majority in Congress were gambling that, oh yeah, North

1611
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:47.079
<v Speaker 5>Korea's government's going to fall any minute now. I mean,

1612
01:32:47.119 --> 01:32:49.520
<v Speaker 5>look what just happened to Russia a few years ago,

1613
01:32:49.600 --> 01:32:52.640
<v Speaker 5>and you know, yeah, North Korea's government's going to fall.

1614
01:32:52.680 --> 01:32:57.520
<v Speaker 5>But the Republicans gambled wrong, and Bill Clinton also, I guess,

1615
01:32:57.560 --> 01:33:00.159
<v Speaker 5>gambled wrong. The executive branch did have some control all

1616
01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:06.000
<v Speaker 5>over that, and that was when. I don't want to

1617
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:08.640
<v Speaker 5>blame the US too much, but the North Korea alleges

1618
01:33:08.680 --> 01:33:12.199
<v Speaker 5>that the famine that occurred in nineteen ninety seven was

1619
01:33:12.279 --> 01:33:15.000
<v Speaker 5>largely a result of the US failing to live up

1620
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:17.640
<v Speaker 5>to its obligation to relieve sanctions and things like that.

1621
01:33:19.039 --> 01:33:22.600
<v Speaker 5>So that's their spin on it. Maybe they should be

1622
01:33:22.640 --> 01:33:25.039
<v Speaker 5>expected to be able to feed themselves anyway.

1623
01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:28.359
<v Speaker 1>And they don't have that large of a country like

1624
01:33:28.399 --> 01:33:31.079
<v Speaker 1>you would think. And I don't know how the soil

1625
01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:34.359
<v Speaker 1>and agriculture is in North Korea, but you would think

1626
01:33:34.439 --> 01:33:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that for the land mass they have, they could and

1627
01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:41.279
<v Speaker 1>should be able to grow enough food and have enough

1628
01:33:41.319 --> 01:33:45.479
<v Speaker 1>livestock to feed their nation. I don't know, I feel

1629
01:33:45.479 --> 01:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like that would that's not too crazy, man, ask.

1630
01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:52.039
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, yeah, I guess they import food, and Germany

1631
01:33:52.039 --> 01:33:53.960
<v Speaker 5>else used to import food a lot, and they were

1632
01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:58.279
<v Speaker 5>heavily dependent on trade before World War One, and they

1633
01:33:58.359 --> 01:34:03.479
<v Speaker 5>pursued a much more autarchic way of making their own

1634
01:34:03.479 --> 01:34:07.279
<v Speaker 5>food after that. I know, I'm kind of going down

1635
01:34:07.319 --> 01:34:09.680
<v Speaker 5>a lot of tangents right now, but you know, part

1636
01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:12.880
<v Speaker 5>of me, you know, part of me loves the idea

1637
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:16.039
<v Speaker 5>of free trade, but part of me also wants as

1638
01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:19.760
<v Speaker 5>much local independence as possible, because you don't want a

1639
01:34:19.800 --> 01:34:21.600
<v Speaker 5>place in the world to start to death just because

1640
01:34:21.640 --> 01:34:24.520
<v Speaker 5>it's so relying on importing food. I think Yemen was

1641
01:34:24.560 --> 01:34:26.359
<v Speaker 5>in a situation like that, and Gaza is in a

1642
01:34:26.399 --> 01:34:30.720
<v Speaker 5>situation like that too, have to import everything. Yeah, I mean,

1643
01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:32.000
<v Speaker 5>she's not a good place to be.

1644
01:34:32.560 --> 01:34:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to have a little bit of both.

1645
01:34:34.279 --> 01:34:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Like you'd absolutely want and need free trade in order

1646
01:34:37.359 --> 01:34:40.720
<v Speaker 1>for society to thrive. But also, yeah, you we all

1647
01:34:40.760 --> 01:34:43.279
<v Speaker 1>want our local area to be so independent that it

1648
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>could since completely sustain itself. I mean, hell, I want

1649
01:34:46.039 --> 01:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>my neighborhood to be able to sustain itself. I wish

1650
01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:54.199
<v Speaker 1>it would. It won't. That's blame the HOA for that,

1651
01:34:54.359 --> 01:34:57.279
<v Speaker 1>but neither here nor there. Yeah, I'm with you. I

1652
01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.119
<v Speaker 1>think that. I don't know. Again, if North Korea has

1653
01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:03.119
<v Speaker 1>like no agreeable land, than fine, I understand the need

1654
01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:06.039
<v Speaker 1>to import food and everything. But even still, there's been

1655
01:35:06.279 --> 01:35:09.680
<v Speaker 1>many reports from like Human Watch or Human Rights Watch

1656
01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and surveys and all of these things saying that Kim

1657
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:18.199
<v Speaker 1>John basically starves his people intentionally, not necessarily to get

1658
01:35:18.199 --> 01:35:21.760
<v Speaker 1>their submission. They already give him the full submission, but

1659
01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:26.039
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been shown how even when he gets aid

1660
01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and resources, he hoards those for himself and his crew

1661
01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:32.359
<v Speaker 1>and lets his people starve by the wayside. So I

1662
01:35:32.399 --> 01:35:35.720
<v Speaker 1>also see that as a possible benefit these North Korean

1663
01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:38.760
<v Speaker 1>troops that are going to the front lines here. I

1664
01:35:38.760 --> 01:35:41.159
<v Speaker 1>think they're probably getting better fed now than they have

1665
01:35:42.199 --> 01:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>arguably in their entire lives. So I could I could

1666
01:35:45.680 --> 01:35:48.439
<v Speaker 1>see it as you know, as a young North Korean

1667
01:35:48.520 --> 01:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>soldier who might get the opportunity to pull it to

1668
01:35:50.720 --> 01:35:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the front line and all these things like, yeah, that

1669
01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>seems like a really good option as opposed to staying

1670
01:35:55.720 --> 01:35:59.279
<v Speaker 1>here and dying. But I don't.

1671
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Know, have you ever seen video of on the streets

1672
01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:02.600
<v Speaker 5>of North Korea.

1673
01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen a few documentaries of people that snuck across

1674
01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:09.119
<v Speaker 1>the border and were shown like all of the quote

1675
01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:12.600
<v Speaker 1>unquote sites by like tour guides and stuff, and it

1676
01:36:12.760 --> 01:36:17.079
<v Speaker 1>is an extremely clean place. But also, like he showed

1677
01:36:17.079 --> 01:36:21.319
<v Speaker 1>this one, this girl runs a for lack of better,

1678
01:36:21.359 --> 01:36:23.319
<v Speaker 1>it's not a pool haul and it's not a bar,

1679
01:36:23.960 --> 01:36:28.560
<v Speaker 1>but it's like a lounge type area that never has customers.

1680
01:36:28.600 --> 01:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>He was like her first customer in a year and

1681
01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:34.079
<v Speaker 1>a half, and like it was cool, he had fun

1682
01:36:34.079 --> 01:36:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and everything, but also like, why aren't people coming here?

1683
01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Why aren't they doing this? Like and basically from what

1684
01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:42.720
<v Speaker 1>she said, it's and she wasn't like pleading her case.

1685
01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:45.159
<v Speaker 1>It was like very this was her life. They're like, well,

1686
01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:47.359
<v Speaker 1>no one has money to spend, so nobody's gonna come

1687
01:36:47.359 --> 01:36:49.479
<v Speaker 1>here to waste time when they could be out trying

1688
01:36:49.479 --> 01:36:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to work and make money and feed themselves and stuff.

1689
01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:53.640
<v Speaker 1>It's just is what it is. And he's like, so

1690
01:36:53.680 --> 01:36:56.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you support yourself? And she was like, well,

1691
01:36:56.760 --> 01:36:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the government pays us all our share, so like I

1692
01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:01.800
<v Speaker 1>get paid to sit here and wait for someone to

1693
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:05.119
<v Speaker 1>come in the door to play pool or watch this

1694
01:37:05.359 --> 01:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>or do whatever. And it was it was very strange.

1695
01:37:08.000 --> 01:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>It's very it's very dystopian.

1696
01:37:11.079 --> 01:37:15.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, from what I've seen, you do see kids going

1697
01:37:15.159 --> 01:37:18.760
<v Speaker 5>to school, you don't see people starving to death. Anymore,

1698
01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:21.079
<v Speaker 5>even though that was a big deal in the late nineties.

1699
01:37:21.439 --> 01:37:23.640
<v Speaker 5>You do see some commerce and a lot of bicycles,

1700
01:37:23.720 --> 01:37:26.960
<v Speaker 5>not many cars, right, but it seems like they're doing

1701
01:37:27.000 --> 01:37:29.479
<v Speaker 5>a lot better than they used to. But it seems

1702
01:37:29.479 --> 01:37:33.800
<v Speaker 5>like also a population of people that's also that's all

1703
01:37:33.840 --> 01:37:37.000
<v Speaker 5>being all waiting to be told what to do. And

1704
01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:39.479
<v Speaker 5>every once in a while when some of somebody escapes

1705
01:37:39.560 --> 01:37:44.239
<v Speaker 5>North Korea, they get to the South and they started asking, Okay, well,

1706
01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:46.520
<v Speaker 5>what do you want me to do? What job should

1707
01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:48.279
<v Speaker 5>I have? And they're told it's up to you, you

1708
01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:50.279
<v Speaker 5>can do what you want, and they just don't know

1709
01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:53.079
<v Speaker 5>what to do with themselves. It's like, no, somebody tell

1710
01:37:53.119 --> 01:37:53.680
<v Speaker 5>me what to do.

1711
01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:56.720
<v Speaker 1>They don't have like dreams or aspirations because they were

1712
01:37:56.760 --> 01:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>taught not to have dreams and aspirations. It's it's very

1713
01:38:00.279 --> 01:38:03.319
<v Speaker 1>much just do as you're told kind of thing. So, yeah,

1714
01:38:03.399 --> 01:38:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you have people that leave that and they like,

1715
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:11.000
<v Speaker 1>what's that one Yomi Park I think her name is, yeah,

1716
01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and she's talking about how like growing up in North

1717
01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Korea and what that was like. And then there's people

1718
01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that bash her and say that that was completely all fabricated,

1719
01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:20.439
<v Speaker 1>made up and she's just saying whatever she can to

1720
01:38:20.439 --> 01:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>get timp or fifteen minutes of fame. I don't know

1721
01:38:23.000 --> 01:38:25.399
<v Speaker 1>her personally, so I can't speak on it, but yeah,

1722
01:38:25.479 --> 01:38:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a whole other thing that you'll see. It's

1723
01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like there's propaganda either way you look at that, because

1724
01:38:30.520 --> 01:38:33.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a ton of North Korean defectors who you can

1725
01:38:33.880 --> 01:38:37.199
<v Speaker 1>watch their interviews and they don't really have many positive

1726
01:38:37.199 --> 01:38:40.079
<v Speaker 1>things to say about North Korea. But then you'll have

1727
01:38:40.119 --> 01:38:42.960
<v Speaker 1>others that will say, well, they're doing that clearly because

1728
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:47.720
<v Speaker 1>this is them trying to like counterop the North Koreans

1729
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:51.920
<v Speaker 1>to make them look evil and it you know.

1730
01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:53.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I've just seen Yon Me Park on Joe Rogan

1731
01:38:53.600 --> 01:38:57.039
<v Speaker 5>and stuff. And the thing she the thing she's gotten

1732
01:38:57.079 --> 01:39:00.279
<v Speaker 5>the most criticism for was by saying that, oh, in

1733
01:39:00.319 --> 01:39:02.920
<v Speaker 5>North Korea, kids are starving all the time and parents

1734
01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:05.319
<v Speaker 5>give their kids mud to eat, but if you eat

1735
01:39:05.399 --> 01:39:08.960
<v Speaker 5>the mud, you'll die in seven days. I think something

1736
01:39:09.039 --> 01:39:12.079
<v Speaker 5>like that probably happened a lot back in nineteen ninety seven,

1737
01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:15.039
<v Speaker 5>but it's probably not happened recently.

1738
01:39:15.479 --> 01:39:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean you say that, but also look at Haiti

1739
01:39:17.520 --> 01:39:20.439
<v Speaker 1>right now. They have those mud cookies that they're feeding people.

1740
01:39:21.079 --> 01:39:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Oh my gosh, yeah, I didn't see that. That's pretty insane.

1741
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:28.039
<v Speaker 1>It's so bad that they are buying them on credit. Like,

1742
01:39:28.079 --> 01:39:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's the thing that you could just so you

1743
01:39:30.720 --> 01:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>could source the dirt in your backyard. Why are you

1744
01:39:33.439 --> 01:39:36.079
<v Speaker 1>buying it from somebody and then since nobody has money,

1745
01:39:36.159 --> 01:39:39.479
<v Speaker 1>you have to buy it on credit for a mud cookie,

1746
01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:42.159
<v Speaker 1>It makes no sense to me, So like, it's it now.

1747
01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about if you eat the mud you

1748
01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:46.279
<v Speaker 1>die in seven days. I have no idea what that

1749
01:39:46.319 --> 01:39:50.039
<v Speaker 1>claim is about. I don't know. Again, soil toxicity in

1750
01:39:50.079 --> 01:39:53.479
<v Speaker 1>North Korea as opposed to haiti, I don't know. But yeah,

1751
01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>people in those dire straits that are starving eating actual dirt. Yeah,

1752
01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that's absolutely a thing. I don't know. It's it is.

1753
01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:04.920
<v Speaker 5>Here's another thing from North Korea. This happened like maybe

1754
01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:08.600
<v Speaker 5>a month or two ago. BBC got a smartphone that

1755
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:11.439
<v Speaker 5>was smuggled out of North Korea and they were commenting

1756
01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:16.800
<v Speaker 5>on how if you try to text message politically incorrect

1757
01:40:16.800 --> 01:40:20.239
<v Speaker 5>words like South Korea, it will auto correct you to

1758
01:40:20.319 --> 01:40:24.840
<v Speaker 5>puppet state, and it'll also kind of criticize you and

1759
01:40:25.560 --> 01:40:26.920
<v Speaker 5>smack you on the wrist a little bit.

1760
01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I can believe it. That's hilarious.

1761
01:40:29.319 --> 01:40:32.920
<v Speaker 5>But then I liked one Twitter comment or is there's

1762
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:36.680
<v Speaker 5>a Chinese, you know, big time pro China guy? He said, Wait,

1763
01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:39.239
<v Speaker 5>I thought I was supposed to believe that North Korea

1764
01:40:39.279 --> 01:40:41.960
<v Speaker 5>has no electricity. Now you're telling me they have smartphones.

1765
01:40:42.720 --> 01:40:45.439
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, it is believable. North Korea has progressed all

1766
01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:47.720
<v Speaker 5>the way to smartphones, and they do have electricity. They

1767
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:50.319
<v Speaker 5>do have enough food now. But you can't write whatever

1768
01:40:50.359 --> 01:40:51.000
<v Speaker 5>you want on.

1769
01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:52.840
<v Speaker 1>The smartphone, of course not.

1770
01:40:53.279 --> 01:40:55.720
<v Speaker 5>But it also reminds me of being during COVID, where

1771
01:40:55.760 --> 01:40:58.479
<v Speaker 5>you couldn't write whatever you wanted on Facebook or Twitter either,

1772
01:40:58.560 --> 01:41:00.760
<v Speaker 5>and you slip up just a little, but even if

1773
01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:03.279
<v Speaker 5>it's not even realistic, really a slip up that you

1774
01:41:03.439 --> 01:41:06.920
<v Speaker 5>just get flagged. And you know, I'm glad we're more

1775
01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:08.840
<v Speaker 5>free now than we were back then, and it's worse

1776
01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:11.479
<v Speaker 5>in North Korea. But yeah, the smartphone is pretty much

1777
01:41:11.479 --> 01:41:13.600
<v Speaker 5>what you'd expect in North Korean smartphone to.

1778
01:41:13.600 --> 01:41:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Be, like, I mean, hell, that's the reason why the

1779
01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:18.399
<v Speaker 1>culture conspiracy isn't on YouTube is because we had no

1780
01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:21.359
<v Speaker 1>freedom of speech during COVID. Yeah, North Korea, there's no

1781
01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:25.199
<v Speaker 1>way they their people don't have freedom for much, if any.

1782
01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, of course the smartphones are gonna autocorrect certain

1783
01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:33.640
<v Speaker 1>terms and phrases like that. That's that's funny, all right now.

1784
01:41:33.680 --> 01:41:36.039
<v Speaker 1>I did want to wrap the episode with this last

1785
01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:38.960
<v Speaker 1>article that raven Le sent as a matter of fact,

1786
01:41:39.640 --> 01:41:42.359
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of circling back to the Epstein thing.

1787
01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Let's see this was written. This is from the Intelligencer.

1788
01:41:48.199 --> 01:41:51.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I've heard of this publication before,

1789
01:41:51.119 --> 01:41:55.119
<v Speaker 1>but okay, and I don't see a date. I don't

1790
01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:57.439
<v Speaker 1>see a date on this one. Let's check it out. Say,

1791
01:41:57.600 --> 01:42:00.720
<v Speaker 1>oh oh, this is about the bank accounts. Okay, let's

1792
01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:04.000
<v Speaker 1>talk why did one of Jeffrey Epstein's bank accounts come

1793
01:42:04.039 --> 01:42:08.279
<v Speaker 1>back online after his death? Okay. One of the many

1794
01:42:08.359 --> 01:42:12.279
<v Speaker 1>unknown surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's life and death involves the peculiar

1795
01:42:12.319 --> 01:42:16.159
<v Speaker 1>circumstances of how a college dropout without any real financial

1796
01:42:16.199 --> 01:42:19.640
<v Speaker 1>bonafides could rack up a fortune's worth of hundreds of

1797
01:42:19.680 --> 01:42:23.560
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars. Seven months after his apparent suicide, new

1798
01:42:23.560 --> 01:42:27.159
<v Speaker 1>fiscal mysteries are still emerging. According to a court hearing

1799
01:42:27.159 --> 01:42:30.239
<v Speaker 1>this week, documents presented to a judge in the US

1800
01:42:30.319 --> 01:42:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Virgin Islands, show a series of multimillion dollar payments transferred

1801
01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:38.640
<v Speaker 1>from his estate to a bank he owned, South South

1802
01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Country International, after his death in August. Epstein's bank, used

1803
01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to manage offshore dealings, had a little under seven hundred

1804
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:50.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars in assets. In December, the estate transferred fifteen

1805
01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:55.199
<v Speaker 1>point five million dollars. All of the funds save for

1806
01:42:55.239 --> 01:42:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the five hundred thousand, were withdrawn before the end of

1807
01:42:58.159 --> 01:43:02.239
<v Speaker 1>this year. There's no explanation for it. Judge Carolyn Hermann Purcell,

1808
01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.159
<v Speaker 1>who was responsible for the responsible for the distribution of

1809
01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's remaining assets in the Virgin Islands. Epstein's lawyer, claims

1810
01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that the transfers were in error, though the records are

1811
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:16.000
<v Speaker 1>found listed with basic financial payments like cable bills. Herman

1812
01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Purcell law has ordered the estate to produce further documents

1813
01:43:19.640 --> 01:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>explaining the financial irregularities. Another major oddity was reported this week.

1814
01:43:24.800 --> 01:43:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's bank, Southern Country International, should not have existed due

1815
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to his criminal history. Still, his twenty fourteen application, in

1816
01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>which Epstein sold himself as one of the pioneers in

1817
01:43:35.960 --> 01:43:39.680
<v Speaker 1>investment banking, was approved, becoming one of the US Virgin

1818
01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Island's first International Banks, despite license renewals every year up

1819
01:43:44.079 --> 01:43:47.399
<v Speaker 1>until twenty nineteen. The Daily Mail reports that there was

1820
01:43:47.520 --> 01:43:50.199
<v Speaker 1>no indication that the bank was operating as a business

1821
01:43:50.279 --> 01:43:53.399
<v Speaker 1>in the time it was open. At the moment, court

1822
01:43:53.479 --> 01:43:55.520
<v Speaker 1>cases in the US Virgin Islands appeared to be the

1823
01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:59.319
<v Speaker 1>most promising vehicle for uncovering more information about Epstein's alleged

1824
01:43:59.359 --> 01:44:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sex traffick operations and financial inconsistencies. In addition to the

1825
01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:09.520
<v Speaker 1>case overseen by Herman Purcel that will distribute Epstein's assets,

1826
01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>now estimated to be as much as six hundred and

1827
01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:15.199
<v Speaker 1>thirty four million dollars, the Attorney General of the United

1828
01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:19.039
<v Speaker 1>States Virgin Islands, Denise in George, filed a lawsuit against

1829
01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the estate, alleging that the financier had trafficked hundreds of victims,

1830
01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>potentially as young as eleven years old, to his island

1831
01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:28.479
<v Speaker 1>of Little Saint James, and maintained the operation until as

1832
01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:35.399
<v Speaker 1>late as twenty eighteen. Okay, so allegedly these banks, the

1833
01:44:35.600 --> 01:44:37.479
<v Speaker 1>bank accounts are not supposed to be up and running

1834
01:44:37.520 --> 01:44:39.560
<v Speaker 1>in the bank was shut down all this, but it's

1835
01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:46.159
<v Speaker 1>still transferring millions of dollars. So that is quite interesting.

1836
01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just because he's out. I'm sure he had

1837
01:44:50.600 --> 01:44:53.359
<v Speaker 1>other bank representatives that had access to things that are

1838
01:44:53.359 --> 01:44:57.720
<v Speaker 1>making these transfers happen. But still that's kind of peculiar.

1839
01:44:58.640 --> 01:45:03.279
<v Speaker 1>And all these new and new quote unquote nothing to

1840
01:45:03.319 --> 01:45:08.359
<v Speaker 1>see here moments from the Judicial Department. That's highly suspect.

1841
01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>That is highly suspect. And this is why I'm a

1842
01:45:11.680 --> 01:45:16.960
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theorist, y'all. Just so everyone's clear. Anyway, Again, I

1843
01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:18.960
<v Speaker 1>want to thank everybody for coming out and joining me
