The leader of hes Belah Hassan. 13 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.600 I know what she said. Not safe for work. 14 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:48.119 No, okay, nope, that's great. But I'm glad. I like 15 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.079 that people come to defend That's great. 16 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:52.719 There is. 17 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.600 The leader of hes Belah was speaking to followers today 18 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.119 did a televised address to members of Hesblah uh and blamed, 19 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.079 of course, the pager and walkie talkie bomb attacks on Israel. 20 00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:05.719 Uh. 21 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.439 He accused Israel trying to kill four thousand people at 22 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.879 once and said that yesterday's walkie talkie attack was also 23 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.760 intended to kill around one thousand more. 24 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:15.760 While now this is important. 25 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.000 While he was speaking, Israeli warplanes were conducting air strikes 26 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.480 in and around Lebanon, and they were creating sonic booms 27 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.560 over Bay Route that you could not only hear if 28 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.799 you were in that city, but you could hear over 29 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.799 the telecast while he was giving the speech. So it 30 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.239 sounded like there were even more explosions going on while 31 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:37.159 he was given that speech. 32 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.760 Today lawmakers are planning for a possible mass casualty event. 33 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.640 It's where we kick off. Swamp watch. 34 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.519 Swamp is horrible, the government does. Man, We're gonna make 35 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.439 us like a reality TV shoot. Corn pop was a 36 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:53.200 bad bos. 37 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.959 Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC. 38 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.879 Hey, Joey after a town hall too, clearly built on 39 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.359 a swamp and in so many ways. 40 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.760 Still a swamp. 41 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.400 A batch of malarkey, he. 42 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.359 Said, drain the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so I'll 43 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:07.159 keep you happen. 44 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.960 Man. 45 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.560 You know the thing, this is the stuff of movies. 46 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.599 Yes, Well, when you think about recent events, though, it's 47 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.599 the stuff of reality. In twenty twenty four, you think 48 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.439 about the attempted assassination of members of that congressional baseball 49 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.039 team practice in twenty seventeen, the Capitol riot in twenty 50 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.919 twenty one, there's been a dramatic spike in threats against 51 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.960 members of Congress. We got a second possible assassination attempt 52 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.680 against a former president. So now they are trying to 53 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.479 prepare for what could be a mass casualty event with Congress. 54 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.240 So I mean, this is Tom Clancy level thinking. There 55 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.520 was ah I can't remember which of his books it was. 56 00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.159 I want to say it was Debt of Honor where 57 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.840 which would have been published in the mid nineties maybe 58 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.479 early nineties, and it was about somebody who flew a 59 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.840 plane into the capital and. 60 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:12.919 That time. 61 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.479 And then there of course the Designated Survivor that show 62 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.439 on ABC recently with Kiefer Sutherland was about an attack 63 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.280 on the in fact the State of the Union, where 64 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.400 they had that designated survivor, a member of the cabinet 65 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.800 who would become the president in the event that everybody's gone. 66 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.240 In this case, they're talking about the and taking into 67 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.560 account the Congressional baseball team practice attack, the attack on 68 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:38.599 the Capitol, the second now assassination attempt against former President Trump, 69 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.960 and the potential to deal with what would happen in 70 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.439 the event that there is a mass casualty attack on 71 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.400 or at least something that happens that kills multiple members 72 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.800 of Congress at the same time. 73 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.479 Now they are thinking about a constitutional amendment that would 74 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.159 allow members to be replaced quickly in the event of 75 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.000 a mass casualty event. Anytime you talk about a constitutional amendment, 76 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.120 you're putting yourself in an unlikely scenario. 77 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.919 It's very it would be very difficult to get this agreed. 78 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.120 On well, and it takes a long time. I mean, 79 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.079 constitutional amendments don't happen overnight. 80 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.279 But the way that they're talking about this, you've got 81 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.680 you've got four members of Congress, two Democrats, two Republicans, 82 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.040 Derek Kilmer, Democrat out of Washington and Emmanuel Cleaver, Democrat. 83 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:32.439 Out of Missouri. Didn't we speak to him? 84 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.240 Yeah, yeah, Brad Weinstrip out of Ohio and William Timmins 85 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.279 of South Carolina. The Republicans and their proposed constitutional amendment 86 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.240 would require each member of the House submit names of 87 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.519 at least five individuals from their political party to their 88 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.759 state's governor, and in the event that that representative dies, 89 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.279 the governor then chooses a name from that list within 90 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.800 ten days, the House Speaker would be quired would required 91 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.959 to seat that person immediately. 92 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:03.839 They say that. 93 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.279 This would discourage attempts to use violence to sway the 94 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.000 balance of power in the House. 95 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.319 But let me just say this. When you're put a 96 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:12.800 list of. 97 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:21.199 Five Republicans together, right, let's say, uh, Congressman Brown is 98 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.720 in power and somebody takes out somebody wants to take 99 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.600 out Congressman Brown because he's gone too far to the right, 100 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.120 and they know the next guy up is more moderate. 101 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:34.639 You know, there's such a there say, it's not just 102 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.399 a Republican as a Republican as a Republican. There's so 103 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.279 many differences. Do you hear that, Oh, there's an alarm. 104 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:41.600 Going off here? 105 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.519 A fire alarm, fire alarm. Oh man, I'm gonna. 106 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.959 Go see if there's a fire to take a break. 107 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:49.879 I mean, we ignore it where we are, But. 108 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.560 All right, we'll continue with swamp watch and we'll check 109 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.399 the fire alarm in Charlotte. 110 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:57.680 Was there a fire? 111 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.759 Yeah, so there's a fire alarm that goes off, and 112 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.839 you know us we ignore these routinely. 113 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.079 Well that's because oftentimes they're just I mean, they're planned, 114 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.360 and we're told if you're on the air when the 115 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.040 when the planned fire alarm test goes off, you. 116 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:13.800 Don't know exactly. 117 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.600 So I am not privy to iHeart Charlotte, so I 118 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.319 would not have gotten that email had they gotten one. 119 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.560 So I walk out of the studio. 120 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.399 And I look down the hall and I see people 121 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.199 and they're grabbing their stuff. And I see my contact guy, 122 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.839 who's very serious about what he does. He's very conscientious, 123 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:35.839 it seems to me to be a very by the 124 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:36.560 book person. 125 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.040 He was crying and he was harried, and I said, 126 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.000 is this for real? 127 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.040 And he looked at me like I had slapped his baby, 128 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.639 like oh, you're one of those people kind of a thing, 129 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.240 like a not a rule follower, and and he's like, yes, 130 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:52.879 it's for real. 131 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.079 And I was like, okay, so I come back, grab 132 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.160 my stuff. I go outside. 133 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.079 You're not supposed to grab your stuff. You're just supposed 134 00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:58.480 to leave me. 135 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:05.199 I went in and out as refrigerator. Even I was 136 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.959 the last one out. I was the last one. 137 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.759 Out of the building the lip gloss exactly. 138 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.480 And so I get out there, got my fresh gatorade, 139 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.279 all my stuff. I'm the only one with stuff, by 140 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.120 the way, the only one. And I took the elevator down. 141 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.639 So anyway I broke. I'm going to get kicked out. 142 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:23.079 I'm basically gonna get kicked out. 143 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.959 The best part is everybody's been out on the out 144 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.519 there waiting. They can't go back in until they know 145 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.399 the building is clear, and you're the only one still 146 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.800 in the building. Yeah, well, I'm glad that nobody. 147 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.519 Burned making friends and influencing people. 148 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.720 We'll do tech talk at the bottom of the hour. 149 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.439 But we're in the middle of swamp Watch, and there's 150 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.839 a bunch of poles that have come out. One, for example, 151 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.480 is all about the Swing States. By the way, this 152 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.040 one from Emerson College and the Hill Trump edges out 153 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.040 Harris in Arizona forty nine to forty eight, in Georgia 154 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.240 fifty to forty seven, in Pennsylvania forty eight to forty seven, 155 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.560 and Wisconsin forty nine to forty eight. But she leads 156 00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.319 and by similar one or two points in Michigan and 157 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.240 North Carolina. According to this pole, they're tied in Nevada. 158 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.399 Now that's just one. There's been a bunch of other poles. 159 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.800 And these are not just the you know, the crappy 160 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.279 polls from schools you've never heard of. 161 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.920 These are you know, three five star polls. 162 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.959 One of them is New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, and 163 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.960 the other Sea on a College basically said that the 164 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:38.200 race is deadlocked nationally, despite the fact, and this is 165 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.759 an important thing, despite the fact that a lot of 166 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:45.799 people gave Kamala Harris very positive reviews after the debate, 167 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.759 and then the last poll from Washington Posts shows that 168 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.639 Kamala Harris is favored by forty eight percent of both 169 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.559 likely and registered voters. Trump is supported by forty seven percent. 170 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.799 That again, nationwide. The first one that I mentioned, that 171 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.519 Emerson College Hill Pole was the one that's important because 172 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.159 it goes specifically swing state by swing state. 173 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:12.879 That group in Michigan, remember the uncommitted from the primary. 174 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.799 Oh yeah, a way of protesting Biden's policies in the 175 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:21.000 Israel Hamas situation. They say they will not endorse the 176 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:28.600 vice president voted but has urged against voting third party 177 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.399 or for Trump. So they're just not going to show up. 178 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.279 I guess they're not going to endorse her, but they 179 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.399 don't want you to do anything. 180 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.559 How big of a group is this, because I feel 181 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.960 like they got outsized media attention in the primary season. 182 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:43.320 I do think that's part of it. 183 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.320 I think that's definitely an aspect of that story that's 184 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.600 a little overblown perhaps, Yeah, But speaking of the teamsters 185 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.720 are not going to endorse a candidate for president in 186 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.720 twenty twenty four. That's the first time they've done that 187 00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:01.440 since nineteen ninety six, and since ninety six they've only 188 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.440 endorsed Democrats. This is Sean O'Brien, the president. We didn't 189 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.480 get solid commitments from either candidate, which was a major 190 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.679 factor in our decision as a general executive. 191 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.440 Board not to endorse any candidate. 192 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.679 However, we did a lot of polling, as you know, 193 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.639 and the polling leaned heavily towards former President Trump. 194 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.159 Now what I didn't understand was, Okay, so that you 195 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.320 polled your membership. Your membership said they wanted you to 196 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.759 endorse Trump, but you're not going to. 197 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:32.840 Why not. 198 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:35.480 It's one thing to say we're not going to get 199 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.720 involved in politics anymore, But if your membership has already 200 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.960 told you that that's who they want, why don't you 201 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:47.159 do it. There are individual groups within the Teamsters in general, 202 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.440 the Teamsters National Black Caucus, a bunch of Teamsters locals, 203 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.600 members of the national leadership. They have all endorsed Kamala 204 00:10:55.639 --> 00:11:00.159 Harris over the objections of Sean O'Brien, but opponents have 205 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.440 organized a Teamsters Against Trump effort that has actually undermined 206 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:10.360 Sean O'Brien for the last couple of years. So it's 207 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.799 a strange version of we we're not going to endorse anybody, 208 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.080 but the majority of our members want to vote for 209 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:17.720 Donald Trump. 210 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.799 Donald Trump's going to Springfield, Ohio. No he's not where 211 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.840 they eat the animals. 212 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.440 No he's not. 213 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.799 He has said he I know, he's said he's going 214 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.679 to He also said he's probably never gonna make it 215 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:29.039 out a lot. 216 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.120 I'm going to go there in the next two weeks. 217 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.399 I'm going to Springfield and I'm going to Aurora. 218 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.200 You may never see me again, but that's okay. Gotta 219 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:40.960 do what I gotta do. 220 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.639 Whatever happened to Trump, well he never got out of Springfield. 221 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.799 I'll I'll eat my words if in fact he ever 222 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.320 sets foot in Springfield, Ohio. 223 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.120 Why do you think he's going to be deterred from 224 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.320 going there? If he wants to go there. 225 00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:57.919 I don't think he. 226 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.879 Because you think he's this is going to happen if 227 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.399 he says it. 228 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.519 It just seems that just this is the blustery part 229 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.960 of him where he's just saying the things. He's saying 230 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.200 these things to the crowd. I mean, he mentioned this 231 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.559 the other day in an interview where he talks about 232 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.320 when he did the sit down interview with Sarah Huckabee 233 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.360 Sanders in Michigan. I believe where he said, you know, 234 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.679 I could say all of these things and people think 235 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.720 I'm funny for or people think I'm not smart enough 236 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.799 because I don't put all of the stuff together, or 237 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.799 I speak in incomplete sentences. But when it comes together, 238 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.600 it all comes together, and everybody loves me. He says 239 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.519 things that aren't necessarily going to happen. I mean, how 240 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.279 many times have we heard him say I'll have a 241 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.519 plan for you in two weeks or I'll tell you 242 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.960 what I'm going to do in three days, and never 243 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.720 pays it off. This is just I just don't think 244 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.480 this is one of those things. It's not in Springfield, Ohio. 245 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.799 Is not important in terms of the election. It's important 246 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.080 in terms of a message that he's trying to get across, 247 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.519 where he says that immigrants are eating cats and dogs 248 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.039 and ducks. I don't if I were advising him, nobody's 249 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.639 listening to me in his campaign. Don't don't waste your 250 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.080 time in Springfield, Don't don't make this an issue, because 251 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.399 you're gonna be it's going to be debunked, and you're 252 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.399 gonna look idiotic. 253 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.559 I disagree, and I think it is a great moment 254 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.000 that he will never meet. Okay, to use the lingo, 255 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.919 but to go to Springfield and say, this was never 256 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:27.679 about eating cats and dogs. It's about a city in America, 257 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.960 a small city in America overrun with immigrants put here 258 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.320 by the Biden administration, so saturated that the people who 259 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.159 live in Springfield and have for decades do not have 260 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.960 access to the services that are now being eaten up 261 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.399 by Biden's immigrant program. 262 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.519 Okay, if that's what I would do, and if that's 263 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.679 the message, then again I'll eat my words and I 264 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.279 would I would give credit to the campaign because they 265 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:53.840 did it right. 266 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.120 He can't do that, I know. He can't stick to 267 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.120 a message that. 268 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.919 A great moment to share all kidding aside, this is 269 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.679 what's really happening, and it's happening in small towns all 270 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:04.600 over the country. 271 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.559 Could be very powerful. 272 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.720 However, the mayor Republican mayor Springfield, Ohio says you can't 273 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.679 come here, please don't. It would be an extreme strain 274 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.159 on our resources. We are not set up to handle 275 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:25.240 a visit like that. 276 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.039 That I think would also be a roadblock for him. Yeah, yeah, 277 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:25.879 which I don't know. Again, I don't know if that 278 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.720 changes his ideas or not. Just a quick note. Also, 279 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.639 Iran apparently now says, or I should say, the FBI 280 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:38.679 says that Iran sent unsolicited emails, including materials stolen from 281 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:44.159 the Trump campaign, to people associated with the Biden campaign. 282 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.720 That those emails were sent to Biden. They did have 283 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.080 information in there that was not available to the public. 284 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.559 It's not clear if anybody from the Biden administration took 285 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.000 the bait, or if they responded, or if they used 286 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.519 any of the information. But we do know that Iranian 287 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:02.600 hackers did send stolen Trump campaign information to Biden campaign associates. 288 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.279 Oh, Tim Kates just sent me a picture of his 289 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.279 grocery cart. And guess who the realtor on the grocery. 290 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:12.559 Cart is bree king? 291 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.159 No, justin Worsham, justin Worsham. 292 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.960 Yes, want buying or selling your home to be professional 293 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.279 and fun's going to use this guy. 294 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.200 It's got the two pictures, all right, It's got the 295 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.200 button down one where he just looks happy and fun, 296 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.039 and then it's the one where he's got the crazy hair, and. 297 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.960 I'll post it to our Instagram story. 298 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.679 Okay, the fallout continues from two days of technology blowing 299 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.879 up in the hands of members of Hesbelah and people 300 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.159 in Lebanon, even in a few in Syria. The leader 301 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.360 of Hesblah is vowed to retaliate for the attacks. Israel 302 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.679 and Hesbela exchange strikes yesterday, sorry today, as Hassan Nosrala 303 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.679 was speaking, In fact, there were several sonic booms that 304 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.879 were heard over Beyroot as he was speaking. Israel's defenseman 305 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.720 said that Hezbolah is going to pay an increasing price 306 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.200 as Israel tries to return residents to homes near that 307 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.080 Lebanon border. 308 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.279 So we're here right in Charlotte for the week, and 309 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.360 Jim Harbaugh told us to bring board games and stuff. 310 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.279 So I actually packed that scrabble. 311 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.240 No, I got it at the target. Oh okay, And 312 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.759 so I picked up a deck of cards and scrabble. 313 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.080 And yesterday one of the writers, well, he said he 314 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.960 saw the scrabble. He said, Oh, I'm totally down for 315 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.480 a scrabble game. And I'm like, oh, oh, excellent last words, sir, 316 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.600 I'm excellent. 317 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.720 You have no idea what's about to happen. 318 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.480 And are you saying that out of confidence that you're 319 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:38.759 going to crush him or. 320 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:42.039 I'm very serious. I'm very competitive when it comes to scrabble. 321 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.360 That's why my husband will only play once a year 322 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.679 on my birthday. But uh, I got the I got 323 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.200 this writer's like, oh yeah, play scrabble, my great. So 324 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.120 there's a bunch of tables outside the meal room, so 325 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.279 players and coaches are walking by and stuff playing scrabble 326 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.000 or whatever, and you know, it puts you in a different, 327 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.120 in even more competitive feel, you know. 328 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.039 And I had a leg up. 329 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.400 I was up maybe fifty points or something on him, 330 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.359 and then I decided to really just keep my foot 331 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.279 on the gas and just crush him. 332 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.759 And he couldn't believe it. He just said, you know, 333 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:16.839 I'm a writer, this is what I do. I should 334 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.640 do better than this. 335 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.799 And I was like, don't get down on yourself, you know, 336 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.000 But I showed no mercy. 337 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.440 Condescending, don't get down on yourself. 338 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.000 Well, he thinks I'm a nice person, so he has 339 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.599 no idea that I'm like, bless your heart. 340 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:33.480 Anyway, it's time for tech Talk Tektalk. 341 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.920 The machines are getting smarter. This is tech Talk, brought 342 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.960 to you by Skynet. 343 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.240 Mark Saltzman is joining us because Mark Saltzman is the 344 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.119 guy that we go to when we talk about all 345 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.079 things tech and scrabble in scrabble. 346 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:52.559 He's a scrabble guy. I can tell. 347 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.839 Because I'm a wordsmith. 348 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.039 You are a wordsmith. Do we need this new iPhone? 349 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:58.640 What's the deal? 350 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.279 Uh? You know I'm hearing an echos, So I got 351 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:08.000 to take out major buds story about this. So, like 352 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.160 every year, it's a lot more evolutionary than revolutionary. And 353 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.759 if my hands on time with the new iPhone sixteen's 354 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.200 are any indication it's the same this year. But there's 355 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.000 one major difference.
