<v Speaker 2>Gary and Shannon, This is the GYMP in Valencia.

5
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:11.800
<v Speaker 3>I like that you're talking about the Hart Mountain with you.

6
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Atlanta, and like, I like hearing all the

7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 2>people call up in the South.

8
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 3>With their accent because that then you know, all the time.

9
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Start speaking with an accent. Anyway, y'all have a great day, y'all.

10
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I started saying y'all. I got called out on it

11
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>at the stadium when I was like, thank you. It's like,

12
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's like that that Southern accent. It just kind of

13
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>you sit in it for a while and it just

14
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of rubs off a little bit.

15
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>And then you go to Pittsburgh people think you're a bumpkin. Hey, Shannon,

16
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>hate to correct you. Bet you Who's not chocolate milk.

29
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Well.

30
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 1>To be honest and full disclosure, I don't know if

31
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I've had a Yahoo I you who I. I was

32
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 1>a Neslee's powder in the milk person.

33
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 4>My grandparents would how are the syrup powder?

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Really?

35
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

36
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>They had the canister of the Nesley powder and I

37
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>would spoon that into the milk.

38
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I had the Hershey's squirty stuff.

39
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah.

40
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>There is not an ounce of anything natural in that.

41
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I was.

42
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I was more healthy with the powder,

43
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>but it was probably the same damn stuff.

44
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, It's just a powdered version. It's time for Swamp Watch.

45
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Swamp is horrible. The government, We're come man, We're gonna

46
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>make this like a reality TV show. Was a bad news.

47
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 4>Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.

48
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>A jel, a town.

49
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 5>Hall too, clearly built on a swamp and in so

50
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 5>many ways still a swamp.

51
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 4>I have a watch of malarkey, he said, drain the swamp.

52
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I said, Oh, that's so hope keep happens.

53
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 3>You know the thing, Well, this week you in General Assembly,

54
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna have a lot of dignitaries in the United States.

55
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Today President Biden sat down and talked with the President

56
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>of the United Arab Emirates, Sheik Mohammad bin Zayed, after

57
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Israeli airstrikes. We do know that that meeting took place,

58
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 3>but in terms of what we're doing, it's just basically

59
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that the President wants to de escalate tensions there in

60
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the Middle East.

61
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for that news brief.

62
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 3>This is sort of a In the next segment, I

63
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 3>wanted to read for you part of this article that

64
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I found today, and it's unseerious candidates in a seriously

65
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 3>dangerous world. You look at the two candidates at the

66
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 3>top of the two major parties right now, and there's

67
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 3>not a lot of confidence in either one of them

68
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>to handle the potential crises. The temperature that has been

69
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 3>turned up in some of the foreign relations places that

70
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>we need to keep an eye on.

71
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>There was an article in Politico about grocery prices, what

72
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>presidents can and can't do to lower grocery prices, that

73
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the next president will have few options to significantly or

74
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>quickly lower food costs, although voters believe otherwise. This is

75
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>something I've been harping on for months, a couple of

76
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>years now, where it's just you thought that the prices,

77
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>the inflation slash shrink flation, we're going to go down.

78
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 4>They have not.

79
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Who's taking advantage of that? I don't know, but we've

80
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>got to do something. There's really not a lot that

81
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>can be done. Is as the majority of US consumers

82
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>believe elected officials, one party or the other can help

83
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>lower grocery bills, an expectation that could help help swing

84
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the election, but the truth they write is likely to

85
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 1>disappoint them. Despite what both Harris and Trump are promising

86
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>on the campaign trail, they really whoever the next leader is,

87
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>has very limited options to lower food costs. It's not

88
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be a widespread way, and it's not going

89
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>to be quick. It'll be some time before if there

90
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 1>is change made that we feel it in the grocery store.

91
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>And it's one of those.

92
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>It's a third rail basically because if you do try

93
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 3>to control prices from the executive branch of the government,

94
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>how is that not just communism or socialists? Yeah, I

95
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 3>mean that's the issue, is that you can't You can

96
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 3>complain about inflation and tr inflation, like you said, but

97
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 3>then over manipulating the market is not what we're about.

98
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>No, and never really have been.

99
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump said yesterday he doesn't think he'd run again

100
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for president in twenty twenty eight.

101
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 4>No, don't. I think that will be that will be it.

102
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And for two reasons this thing is making headlines. One,

103
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 3>he would rule out this fourth bid for a White House.

104
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 3>But this is also that sort of very rare time

105
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 3>when he says that it's a possibility that he would

106
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 3>lose the upcoming election. This is as rare as when

107
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 3>he admits that he lost in twenty twenty. That those

108
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 3>kinds of things don't happen very often. And I don't

109
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 3>know if it's just a matter of him misspeaking, or

110
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 3>if it's him having some amount of foot in the

111
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>real world kind of thing. It was about a twenty

112
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 3>two minute interview he defended his record on COVID. He

113
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>took credit for development of the vaccines developed during his presidency,

114
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 3>also saying that they're doing studies on the vaccines and

115
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 3>we're going to find.

116
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Out if they're safe. Wait a minute, that was four

117
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I thought they were safe.

118
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I thought you determined that, and now we're still having

119
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 3>the discussion about whether.

120
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Or not they were safe. That's always fun.

121
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>In terms of the latest polls that have come out,

122
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 3>the New York Times Sana College poll found that Trump

123
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>has now a five point lead in Arizona over Kamala Harris,

124
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 3>five points that went to Biden four years ago, a

125
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 3>four point lead in Georgia over Harris that also went

126
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 3>to Biden in twenty twenty. And in North Carolina, Trump

127
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>does have a two point margin, which is closer than

128
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 3>it's more notable, I suppose, because North Carolina hasn't voted

129
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 3>for a Democrat since two thousand and eight.

130
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the latest. A quick note.

131
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Also, congressional leaders announced an agreement on a short term

132
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 3>spending bill. There will be no federal government shutdown, at

133
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 3>least not this week or next.

134
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so coming up this hour, we've got a couple

135
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 1>mysteries that we're going to get to the bottom too,

136
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>or try to. And we told you about that alone

137
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>judge in rural Kentucky, which sounds like an oxymoron being

138
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 1>shot and killed in his chambers by a local sheriff.

139
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 1>We're now hearing that too. Have been friends for a

140
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>long time. As you can imagine, small town situation. They're

141
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>very protective there at the small town over gossip and people.

142
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.199
<v Speaker 4>Coming and calling about what went down.

143
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>These two apparently married sisters at one point, So we'll

144
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 1>tell you about that. Also, that super yacht that was

145
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>sunk in Apparently it's believed to have contained watertight safes

146
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 1>with sensitive intelligence data.

147
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I knew it, did you know? Oh, but that would

148
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 2>be fun.

149
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 3>One of the other political scandals that's going on right

150
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 3>now is Mark Robinson. This is the lieutenant governor in

151
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina who is running for governor. A bunch of

152
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 3>people on his campaign team resigned three days after he

153
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 3>had to deny making years old posts on a pornographic website.

154
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 3>The general consultant and senior advisor, a campaign manager, a

155
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 3>finance director, and a deputy campaign manager all stepped down.

156
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Just a couple of weeks now before the election. He

157
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 3>has vowed not to exit the race. He has remained defiant,

158
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 3>and he has stated that there will be new incoming

159
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 3>staff members moving their way up the ranks of the

160
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 3>campaign a campaign. The problem with the timing of this

161
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>is that absentee ballots go out this week to voters

162
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 3>who requested them. They've already been sent to military overseas

163
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>voters over the weekend. Polling in recent weeks has shown

164
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 3>him down by more than a dozen points, in some cases,

165
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 3>trailing Josh Stein, who is currently the Attorney General. The

166
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 3>news reports last week, most of them from CNN, talked

167
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 3>about his past online activities, including making posts on a

168
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 3>pornographic website Nude Africa, said that he enjoys watching training

169
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>on girl porn and that he wears that he was

170
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 3>a black Nazi, among other things. He supposedly had an

171
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 3>account registered on Ashley Madison, a website for married people

172
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 3>looking for affairs. He has denied all of that. He

173
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 3>has denied making any posts, says he has never signed

174
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 3>up for that website.

175
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>This is an article out of the National Review about

176
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>unseerious candidates in a seriously Dangerous world, and it starts

177
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>this way. On the campaign trail, it's all coconut tree

178
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>memes and Oprah touting joy that's on the Hair side

179
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 1>and official coins designed by me and gold sneakers on

180
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the Trump side.

181
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Rates.

182
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Meanwhile, US commercial airline pilots are experiencing more GPS jamming

183
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 1>when they fly internationally. North Koreans are conning US companies

184
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 1>out of cash through fraudulent remote work schemes. China's outpacing

185
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>the US has negated our military advantage in the Western.

186
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 4>Pacific, and oh right, the Middle East.

187
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 3>This is sort of the worst version of nobody messes

188
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 3>with my family but me like, you can fight within

189
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 3>your family and say siblings, right, You're going to continue

190
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 3>to bicker with your siblings, for that's what you do.

191
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>But if somebody ever picks a fight with your brother

192
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>or your sister, you.

193
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Defend them, yes, at all costs.

194
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Sure, now, this is sort of that version of that

195
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 3>where we are now bickering with each other, but we're

196
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 3>forgetting that there are outside threats to this country that

197
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 3>threaten not just your sibling but you also and we're

198
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>not doing anything about them.

199
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't say we're not doing anything.

200
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 3>It does not appear that the two main candidates want

201
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 3>to do anything about them.

202
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Noah Rothman offers this grim assessment. Kamala Harris cannot say

203
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 1>that she wants America's most stalwart ally in the Middle

204
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 1>East to win its war against Iran backed terrorists. Donald

205
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Trump will not say that he wants a Western facing

206
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 1>country which is being dismembered by one of America's oldest enemies,

207
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 1>to win its righteous war of self defense. Both campaigns

208
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>pay lip service to the need to confront China without

209
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 1>leveling with us, the American people, about what it would

210
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>take to achieve these executive objectives. Say these maybe serious times,

211
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>but they have not generated commensurate seriousness in our politics.

212
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 3>And pray that it doesn't take some ridiculous disaster for

213
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 3>America to come to its census. I mean, we saw

214
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 3>un paralleled, at least in our lifetimes, obviously unparalleled.

215
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>What would be the.

216
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Togetherness after the September eleventh attack? Right the community that

217
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 3>was the United States of America was on fire at

218
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.960
<v Speaker 3>that time, in those months, the very end of two

219
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 3>thousand and one.

220
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't paying enough attention, being a twenty year old

221
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.039
<v Speaker 1>at the time, but was it like this was it

222
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>this bad because like, I don't think even nine to

223
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>eleven could bring us together.

224
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's a great point. It was not that we

225
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 3>were as divided. I mean, we've always been divided. It's

226
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 3>what has defined our country. It's what makes us that

227
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.480
<v Speaker 3>bickering sibling that we are with each other. That's kind

228
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 3>of a given. But it just felt like we got lazy,

229
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>We got kind of lazy about what was going on

230
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.080
<v Speaker 3>around the world and assumed that we were not vulnerable

231
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 3>here at home. That proved to a lot of people

232
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.600
<v Speaker 3>that we absolutely are vulnerable to even a very low

233
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 3>tech version of a terrorist attack, which in all honesty,

234
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 3>that was a low tech version. You mentioned these pilots

235
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 3>that are now talking, you know, about having airliners have

236
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 3>their GPS completely scrambled.

237
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>With right American Airlines Captain Dan Carey knew his cockpit

238
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>equipment was lining to him when an alert began blaring.

239
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Pull up as his Boeing Triple seven passed over Pakistan

240
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 1>in March. An altitude of thirty two thousand is what

241
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 1>he was cruising at, far above any terrain is The

242
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 1>warning stem from a kind of electronic warfare that hundreds

243
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>of civilian pilots encounter each day GPS spoofing. The alert

244
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be false, but illustrated how fake signals

245
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that militaries use to warn off drones and missiles are

246
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 1>also permeating growing numbers of commercial aircraft.

247
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's not a gradual thing. In February there

248
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>were a few dozen instances of this GPS spoofing affecting

249
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 2>commercial aircraft. It was eleven hundred last month, eleven hundred.

250
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 2>We just saw, I mean, we are arguably on their side,

251
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>but we just saw Israel detonate thousands of small bombs

252
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>that they had gotten into the Hesbola's hands over the

253
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>course of the last year or so. What makes us

254
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 2>think that we would be immune to it?

255
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and look at you know, the movements we've seen

256
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>near the Aleutian Islands and what's going on there. It's

257
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 1>almost like a global shell game of risk where where

258
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not paying attention, or the powers that be are

259
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 1>not paying attention, maybe because we've got weekend of Bernie's

260
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>administration or what have you. The infighting between democratocrats and

261
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Republicans pointing fingers. The world's taking notice and they're on

262
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the move.

263
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 3>The one thing that has happened is that the Biden

264
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 3>administration has been talking about banning components built in Russia

265
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:27.919
<v Speaker 3>or China from connected vehicles those cars. Every car now

266
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 3>is going to have an Internet connection, it's going to

267
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 3>have a GPS locator, it's going to have all of

268
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>this stuff in it. And they're talking about making sure

269
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 3>that the components built in China and Russia, which could

270
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:45.399
<v Speaker 3>potentially house sort of that sleeper mechanism, that that stuff

271
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.679
<v Speaker 3>is banned from connected vehicles going forward. There's at least that,

272
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.399
<v Speaker 3>but it's still not enough in terms of the potential

273
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.039
<v Speaker 3>threats that do exist outside.

274
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you want your jeopardy question? Oh yes, okay, get off.

275
00:14:59.159 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 4>The dark web.

276
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to find the Lieutenant governor of North Carolina.

277
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh time to fall into autumn for two hundred dollars.

278
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Baby boo and autumn gold, or varieties of this gourd

279
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 5>that's popular during fall holidays.

280
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 2>The pumpkin.

281
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, don't ever think it. I didn't know pumpkins

282
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 1>had names.

283
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Of those are so bad.

284
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 4>Baby boo, pumpkin.

285
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this shows up on Urban Dictionary, the baby boo

286
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 1>or the white pumpkins.

287
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, my wife has a handful of those on

288
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 3>our table already. Yeah, we put out some of the week.

289
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 3>She put out some of the Halloween decorations because there's

290
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of that dead part between August and September when

291
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>you wanted to be a little cooler and chillier, Right,

292
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 3>the only way to actually push that is to actually

293
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 3>put some Halloween decorations up.

294
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.159
<v Speaker 2>And the included the little baby bit.

295
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>That's how your wife praise to the rain gods with

296
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>baby boot pumpkins.

297
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that and the the dog skeleton that we have

298
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.159
<v Speaker 3>that we put out.

299
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's not really not what you think.

300
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Dog died.

301
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 3>That dog was was cremated.

302
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's creepy, kind of creepy.

303
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>It's a plastic skeleton dog.

304
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't The autumn gold is just like the every

305
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>day kind of pumpkin.

306
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 4>You get the pumpkin patch pumpkin. Yeah. How many types

307
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 4>of pumpkins do you think there are?

308
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

309
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Gosh, there's just I've never thought about such an intriguing question.

310
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.039
<v Speaker 2>How many kinds of pumpkins are there?

311
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I don't nimes of pumpkins are there?

312
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Eighty?

313
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.279
<v Speaker 1>There are over one hundred and fifty varieties of pumpkins,

314
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>different varieties for each season. Did you know they're technically

315
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 1>a fruit? Technically a fruit, yes, but actually a winter

316
00:16:55.639 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 1>squash in the cue cer bitasa family. It also includes

317
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>cucumbers and melons.

318
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 4>Huh.

319
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Some names include Hooligan, cotton candy, Orange Smoothie, Long Island Cheese,

320
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 1>sugar Pie, pumpkin, Happy Jack Prize winner, fascinating.

321
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Long Island Cheese. I'd be interested in that.

322
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>That's an heirloom pumpkin with a smooth flesh and string

323
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>free interior a high nutritional content. It's named for its wide,

324
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 1>flat shape, which resembles a wheel of cheese, so it

325
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 1>doesn't taste like cheese.

326
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately for you, Italian prosecutors have opened up a criminal

327
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:44.319
<v Speaker 3>investigation into multiple charges of manslaughter and negligent shipwreck in

328
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 3>the Baysian sinking.

329
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>This is the superacht, this forty.

330
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 3>One million dollar one hundred and eighty four foot yacht

331
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 3>that went down one hundred and sixty four feet the

332
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 3>bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. And there is a concern

333
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:13.599
<v Speaker 3>that inside the high security vault on this super yacht

334
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 3>are a couple of hard drives, encryptied hard drives that

335
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:25.559
<v Speaker 3>hold highly classified information including past coodes sensitive data and

336
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 3>if you're a fan of any of the Mission Impossible movies,

337
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 3>a full knock list the people who have what is

338
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:35.279
<v Speaker 3>a knock list?

339
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Does it non operative cover something like that?

340
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Basically it explains who's a secret agent and what their

341
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 3>fake identity is.

342
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:45.759
<v Speaker 2>OK.

343
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing that Ethan is trying to get all

344
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 3>the time. It seems like Ethan played by Tom Cruise.

345
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Now they said that the British tycoon Mike Lynch, British

346
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 3>tech tycoon, was associated with British, American and other intelligence

347
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 3>services through his various companies, including a cyber security company

348
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 3>that he founded called dark Trace. Oh yeah, that sounds

349
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 3>exactly like it came from a spy novel. That company

350
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.799
<v Speaker 3>was sold to a Chicago based private equity firm. Lynch's

351
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 3>wife's company, Rev Tom Limited, owned the actual ship itself

352
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 3>was an advisor to British Prime Ministers David Cameron and

353
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 3>Teresa May.

354
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:31.119
<v Speaker 2>According to the British government.

355
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So Lynch and his eighteen year old daughter Hannah died.

356
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Attorney American attorney Chris Marvillo, his wife, British banker Jonathan Bloomer,

357
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.960
<v Speaker 1>his wife Judy, the onboard chef.

358
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.160
<v Speaker 4>They all died.

359
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>There were fourteen others who survived along with Lynch's wife

360
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and some of the survivors and reportedly told prosecutors that

361
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Lynch did not trust cloud services and always kept data

362
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 1>drives in a secure compartment of the yacht wherever he sailed.

363
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

364
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Some of these, some of these survivors may have secrets, perhaps.

365
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>That they don't want released.

366
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.640
<v Speaker 3>There's a you would assume that if a ship goes

367
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 3>down like this, a yacht goes down, everybody drowns, right

368
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 3>all I mean those that die end up drowning, they said.

369
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:33.759
<v Speaker 3>The preliminary autopsies were are showed that the couples, the

370
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Bloomer and Morvillo couples died of suffocation or dry drowning

371
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.400
<v Speaker 3>when the oxygen and an air bubble and a sleeping

372
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 3>cabin ran out because they weren't rescued. Autopsy results for

373
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Lynch and his daughter were less clear. The chef the

374
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 3>body was actually found outside of the yacht, and they

375
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 3>said that that one was pretty clear died by drowning.

376
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 3>None of them had suffered any physical injuries when the

377
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 3>boat went down, so they're still trying to figure out

378
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 3>exactly what happened. The Baysi and take a few hours

379
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:06.720
<v Speaker 3>before Chamberlain died in the hospital, Lynch would not have

380
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 3>known about his partner's death, and Chamberlain was in a

381
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.039
<v Speaker 3>coma so would not have known about the shipwreck apparently.

382
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 3>But that's just a strange little coincidence, isn't it that

383
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 3>he died on the same day that the yacht sank,

384
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 3>hiding a couple of super encrypted hard drives, but may

385
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 3>be very valuable to Western intelligence agencies.

386
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've asked for more security around this. They of

387
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>course had security around the yacht because they figured people

388
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>would go in for jewelry and money and all the

389
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>other things rich people travel with. But now they requested

390
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>additional security to guard in case foreign governments want access

391
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to this data.

392
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 2>And you know what they're going to do.

393
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 3>They're going to say, oh, we have to be super

394
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.400
<v Speaker 3>careful because we don't want the fuel or the oil

395
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 3>to spill out into the ocean that's still on board.

396
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 3>So we're going to have to be very careful about

397
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.839
<v Speaker 3>how we bring this yacht back. This is a book

398
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.400
<v Speaker 3>you would read, for sure. I'm trying to figure out

399
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 3>which author or would do this. I don't know if

400
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.640
<v Speaker 3>this is Jack Car could be a Jack Carr novel.

401
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, we still have work to do on space wars,

402
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 1>So why don't you just pump the brakes a little

403
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>bit on your spot them? All Right, There's a carnival pumpkin,

404
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 1>a sweet dumpling pumpkin, Jaradale pumpkin, Cinderella pumpkin, a black

405
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 1>footsoup pumpkin, buckskin, pumpkin, spaghetti pumpkin, baby bear pumpkin, great white.

406
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 4>Pumpkin's puk black peanut pumpkin.

407
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.400
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna do all one but.

408
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Black and silver pumpkin.

409
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 6>I know that I have listened to you guys for

410
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.319
<v Speaker 6>such a long time that when you guys start talking

411
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.400
<v Speaker 6>about a variety of pumpkins and how many they are,

412
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.880
<v Speaker 6>it completely brings me back to when y'all were see

413
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.880
<v Speaker 6>y'all Now I'm doing that too, When you guys were

414
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.119
<v Speaker 6>going through the apples sat you guys were so obsessed

415
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.240
<v Speaker 6>with different types of apples, and I think Shannon would

416
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 6>eat one and it was just apple craziness.

417
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:05.200
<v Speaker 2>There was apple crazy.

418
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 1>We went through a period of apple We had an

419
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:09.160
<v Speaker 1>apple every day for a long time.

420
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 4>We don't do that anymore. We don't do it anymore.

421
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Were gonna have apples in a long time.

422
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>We should get back into apples. We we We sidelined

423
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:17.559
<v Speaker 1>the apples for some green tea for a few months.

424
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't remember you started the green tea thing.

425
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.799
<v Speaker 3>I made it a good probably eight months with one

426
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:26.599
<v Speaker 3>cup of green tea.

427
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah a day, right, and then I we need a

428
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 1>new obsession. Maybe it's pumpkins.

429
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Could you do with it?

430
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, Look at it, spin it around.

431
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 2>That sounds like fun.

432
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Former President Trump says he won't run again if he

433
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.759
<v Speaker 1>loses in November. Says, I think that would be it

434
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 1>were his words. In the meantime, the man suspected of

435
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 1>that assassination attempt against Trump from the golf course left

436
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a letter detailing his plans, saying he intended to kill

437
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Trump on behalf of Ukraine.

438
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.359
<v Speaker 3>Former President Trump is had to Pennsylvania for a policy

439
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 3>event this afternoon. He's going to hold a rally tonight.

440
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris doesn't have any campaign events scheduled today. I

441
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 3>understand she's supposed to meet with the president of the

442
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:13.039
<v Speaker 3>UAE today after President Biden did, and then she is

443
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 3>going to be in Pennsylvania Wednesday, and then heads out

444
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 3>west later this week.

445
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>We reported to you last week a judge in Kentucky

446
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>was shot and killed in his chambers in the courthouse,

447
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and a local sheriff was charged with his murder. It's

448
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 1>a very small town population of about seventeen one hundred

449
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 1>people this place, it's called Whitesburg, Kentucky, southeast of Lexington,

450
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and people are being very closed off when it comes

451
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 1>to people digging into what happened. These two, the judge

452
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.759
<v Speaker 1>and the sheriff, had been friends four years, worked side

453
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 1>by side at one time in the county courthouse. In fact,

454
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the sheriff was the judge's bailiff at one point, still

455
00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 1>in charge of the judge's salary. To u high profile

456
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:04.759
<v Speaker 1>elected officials in a town where everyone knows one another.

457
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's why it's so odd that the sheriff, Sean

458
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Steins, walked into the chambers, pulled out a gun

459
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and killed district Judge Kevin Mullins. Unprecedented. This kind of

460
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 1>town goes years without a homicide.

461
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 3>The sheriff had been deposed earlier in the week in

462
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.400
<v Speaker 3>a lawsuit that was filed by two women. One of

463
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.640
<v Speaker 3>them alleged that a deputy not the sheriff, but a

464
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 3>deputy had forced her to have sex inside the judge's

465
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 3>chambers for six months in exchange for staying out of jail.

466
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 3>And the lawsuit said that the sheriff may it did

467
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 3>accuse the sheriff of deliberate indifference in failing to adequately

468
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 3>train and supervise the deputy. That now former deputy has

469
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 3>already pleaded guilty. He's sentenced to six months in jail

470
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 3>six and a half years probation for a series of charges.

471
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 3>This second woman apparently had already died by the time

472
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:01.599
<v Speaker 3>this lawsuit came to fruition, so it doesn't she's.

473
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Not part of it anymore.

474
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 3>But so the sheriff fired that deputy who succeeded him

475
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 3>as the judge's bailiff. So there's this triangle of relationship here.

476
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 3>But it fired the deputy for conduct unbecoming after the

477
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 3>lawsuit was filed a couple of years ago.

478
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.640
<v Speaker 1>It seems like the judge knowingly let his deputy coerce

479
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>these women in sex in his chambers, is it not,

480
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.559
<v Speaker 1>and that the sheriff didn't like that.

481
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's possible.

482
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.599
<v Speaker 3>There were also witnesses who said that they saw Judge

483
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Mullins and Sheriff Steins together just before noon on Thursday.

484
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 4>They were supposed to go to lunch.

485
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they're about three hours before the shooting.

486
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 3>And said they went into the judges chambers to ask

487
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 3>him to sign some papers and they were getting ready

488
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.400
<v Speaker 3>to go out to lunch together. This witness walked in

489
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 3>there and he said it seemed like an ordinary interaction.

490
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 3>It's accept that the sheriff seemed quieter than usual, and

491
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.000
<v Speaker 3>he said he thought the pair had a good working relationship.

492
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 3>They didn't know anything that could have prompted the violent encounter.

493
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 1>The county's council attorney, Matt Butler, has recused himself from

494
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the case because yes, small town right. He's got long

495
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:13.359
<v Speaker 1>family ties with a judge. The two once married to

496
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 1>a pair of sisters. He says his two daughters called

497
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the judge unkie, and he is being very closed off.

498
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>He says that he posted it on social media that

499
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.440
<v Speaker 1>he would not be a source of gossip and asked

500
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>everybody in this community to be the same.

501
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 4>Do the same.

502
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Do not give my cell phone number to people, don't

503
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>let people into our community if you're only looking to gossip.

504
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.559
<v Speaker 1>He said, or be a troublemaker or a stir or

505
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>up of gossip. Leave me out of that conversation.

506
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Maan, I guess it had to be something like

507
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 3>what you suggested. That the judge may have known that

508
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:55.880
<v Speaker 3>this deputy was using his chain.

509
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Right like that.

510
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.519
<v Speaker 1>But this judge had no public discipline history. He had

511
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 1>a reputation in the country of working with drug offenders

512
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 1>to get them into treatment instead of jails. The sheriff

513
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>had friends all over town. Ben a fixture for decades,

514
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>working for years as a bailiff in that courtroom before

515
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 1>winning the race for sheriff in twenty eighteen. They said

516
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that this guy, you know, the sheriff, was always offering

517
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 1>up a big hug that he would say, you know,

518
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.519
<v Speaker 1>do you need anything, If you need anything, call me,

519
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.720
<v Speaker 1>she said, No matter how many times I saw him

520
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 1>in a day, it was always a hug, and those

521
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 1>were always the specific words that he would say, do

522
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 1>you need anything, let me know.

523
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:37.839
<v Speaker 2>This is one of those stories that's it will be.

524
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Uh, there's more. There's a lot more. There's a lot more,
