WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.360 A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:07.200 demand on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:08.359 It's time for swampwatch. 5 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.359 Swamp is horrible. 6 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.560 The government doesn't work. Man, make this like a reality 7 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:15.160 TV show. 8 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.239 A bad Noos. 9 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:21.000 Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joey, 10 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.559 a town. 11 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.039 All too clearly built on a swamp and in so 12 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:26.559 many ways still a swamp. 13 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:27.839 A watch of malarkey. 14 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:29.000 What he said, drained the swamp. 15 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.840 I said, Oh, that's so, you know the thing. 16 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.920 Uh oh, I just got an alert on my phone 17 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:43.799 the World Health Organization declaring m pops a global health emergency. 18 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:44.960 So we already did that. 19 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.880 They have again declared m pos an internal international health 20 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.359 emergency in response to a growing outbreak in Africa. 21 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.560 Well it never really went away, I mean it kind of. 22 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.000 We tamped it down here in the United States by 23 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.119 changing the name of it. 24 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.280 The declaration comes after suspected and confirmed cases in Africa 25 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.079 exceeded fifteen thousand this year, exceeding the toll in all 26 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:10.920 of last year. 27 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.319 New highs in the Congo. 28 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.200 The big story that came out of DC this morning 29 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.560 was that price hikes slowed more than expected into line 30 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.480 for the first time in more than three years. The 31 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.000 consumer price index landed just below three percent. It was 32 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.840 at two point nine percent for the twelve months that 33 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.920 ended in July. That was slowing down a little bit 34 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.120 from three percent in June. Bureau of Labor Statistics released 35 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.879 this report. This now is going to pave the way, 36 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.959 they say, for the Fed Reserve to cut rates next 37 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.239 month after this battle with inflation that sent rates to 38 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.599 a twenty three year high. Right now, there is signs 39 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.439 of economic stress, as they say, because inflation does appear 40 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.480 under control a bit, and the Fed could reduce some 41 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.319 borrowing costs to try to get the job growth booming again, 42 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.200 although we're still at a pretty pretty significantly great unemployment 43 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.159 rate here in the United States. 44 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.960 A couple of polls to talk about. 45 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.360 Don't you think this is something that Kamalas should get 46 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.120 out and talk to reporters about inflation the economy. 47 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.759 She's has a big speech tomorrow, not tomorrow Friday speech 48 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.360 though that's the word, right, and not a give and take, 49 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.199 not a Q and A or anything like that. Former 50 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.879 President Trump supposedly has one on the economy today. Right now, 51 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.400 I'm going to start national and we'll go local. But 52 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.240 Vice President Harris is leading or tied with former President 53 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.719 Trump in six of seven battleground states as of right now. 54 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.199 This is the Cook Political Report Swing State Project that 55 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.719 shows that Harris has an overall one point lead, well 56 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.680 within the margin of error. Keep that in mind over 57 00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.560 Trump across battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, 58 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.800 and Wisconsin. Across the seventh battleground state, she has forty 59 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:06.800 eight percent support. 60 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.439 Trump had forty seven percent. 61 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.240 Five percent of respondent said that they were either undecided 62 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:13.919 or would not vote. 63 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.759 Now there is I'm sorry, no you go oh. 64 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.199 I was just gonna dovetail the survey from the AP 65 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.439 and RK Research Center that found Vice President Harris as honest, 66 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.199 someone who is disciplined as opposed to President Trump. That 67 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.919 nearly half of Americans would describe her as committed to 68 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:40.120 democracy and disciplined, compared to about thirty percent for Trump. 69 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.520 Forty percent said the same for honest, compared to just 70 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.360 twenty five percent for the former president. 71 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:45.800 That that is. 72 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.120 Remarkable to me that anybody labels any politician using that 73 00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.280 word honest. Yeah, you don't rise to levels like this 74 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.039 by being honest with people. 75 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.400 There's also so we mentioned this earlier when we were 76 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.840 talking about this poll, specifically honesty and what it means 77 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:12.919 for different people. For Kamala Harris, that is the thing 78 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.879 that people are excited about right now is that she 79 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.680 brings joy, she brings optimism, she brings whichever positive adjective 80 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:22.319 you want to bring. 81 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.199 That's what she's working on right now. 82 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.639 I don't know anybody who's like, she's got foreign policy nailed, 83 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.720 or she has beautiful ideas on what to do with 84 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:31.759 the economy. 85 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.480 Sims'm and and enjoy. Those are all wonderful things. It's 86 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.560 a fun movie to watch, but you need substance, and 87 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.319 if she's not putting her substance on display, then we 88 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.759 are not doing our jobs as reporters in the media. 89 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.839 Right And the criticism that we got when we talked 90 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680 about in the first hour was well, Trump never talks 91 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.480 about policy. 92 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.800 Okay, yes he doesn't. 93 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.839 Now there's different reasons why they don't, and I think 94 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.160 both of them should. He doesn't because he can't. He 95 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.720 has a knee jerk reaction. He can't continue to talk 96 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.639 about policy without getting personal digs in. That's his personality, 97 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.519 that's who he is. She could talk policy but doesn't 98 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.279 want to because she doesn't have to rate now. 99 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.680 But can she talk policy? That's the big question. 100 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.920 I mean, she could choose to talk policy. 101 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.920 Are we at a place in this country where the 102 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.040 two leading candidates for president don't need to bother with 103 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.600 details that they just. 104 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.279 Have to be the cheerleader? 105 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.519 And then who's running the country? Which is a fun 106 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.720 question that I've had in my mind since Biden turned 107 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.519 up as weekend at Bernie's. 108 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.839 Because the vast majority of voters, I think it's safe 109 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.800 to say the vast majority of voters don't do any 110 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.639 of their own homework on who they're going to vote for, 111 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.720 and a lot of them, I don't know if it's 112 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.600 a majority, but a lot of them will vote simply 113 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:56.560 on their feelings. 114 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:57.079 Right. 115 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.720 I feel like Donald Trump is mean. I feel like 116 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.040 Kamala Harris is wrong for the country. I feel like 117 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.519 Donald Trump doesn't know what he's doing for them. Nobody 118 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.480 does their homework, nobody. It's all about optics. They're absolutely right. 119 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.439 Because she's showing optimism and he's showing strength and it's 120 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:14.720 whatever one you want. 121 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.800 Or they do this, they say to their phone, Hey, TikTok, 122 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.519 who should I vote for? And then TikTok blasts them 123 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:29.040 with half thought, halfwits, who then try to use their 124 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.680 feelings about Kamala Harris or Donald Trump and convince you 125 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.279 that their feelings are right because they did their homework allegedly. 126 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.600 How much time have you been spending on TikTok? 127 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.560 Not enough? 128 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.279 Or have the Chinese moved into your home? 129 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.600 They've moved into my head. 130 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.839 Hey there was an article and my heart. You're going 131 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.560 through something and I'm not going to deal with it. 132 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.920 I don't like it when you look away. 133 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.519 Bottom of the hour, we're going to get into story 134 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.480 that's been kind of bubbling for the last couple of days. 135 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.199 It was how the FBI yesterday we talked about it 136 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.879 in this context, the FBI is investigating whether Iranians were 137 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.879 able to hack into or steal information from presidential campaigns. 138 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.959 The important thing also is, or an important aspect of 139 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.240 that story, is the news organizations who got the information 140 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.160 did not publish it, did not go forward with some 141 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.600 of that information. So we'll talk about what the decision 142 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.199 process is for those news agencies eleven thirty. 143 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.759 That Algerian Olympic boxing gold medalist Amani Hahalif is naming 144 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.240 Elon Musk and JK Rowling in a legal complaint filed 145 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.120 the lawsuit in France over online harassment she says she 146 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.959 faced during the Olympics. Her attorney says that former President 147 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.600 Trump is also part of the investigation. Lawsuit filed against 148 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.079 X accuses Musk and Ralling of committing acts of aggravated 149 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.720 cyber harassment against her false claims that she was transgender. 150 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.519 Back in swamp Watch, there were a couple of different 151 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.600 versions of this story that came up today that I 152 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.240 thought was interesting. A former Trump spokeswoman, a woman named 153 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:17.720 Sarah Matthews, says that Donald Trump has been lighting up 154 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.360 his campaign staffers. Former President's meltdown comes from a couple 155 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.160 of staffers who worked with him. They don't currently but 156 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.279 that they say they're still in contact with some of 157 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.039 the people who work in the campaign. Sarah Matthews says, quote, 158 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.840 I think he feels this election slipping away from him, 159 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:39.000 and that's where you're beginning to see him spiral. Republicans 160 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.559 and top donors are worried about his strategy as he's 161 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.799 launching these personal attacks and obsesses over her personality instead 162 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.320 of sticking to issues like the border, the economy, and 163 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:55.000 the crime. In fact, scaramog Anthony Scaramucci says he's still 164 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.799 in close ties with some of the people in the 165 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.039 inner circle and said that Trump isn't barnstorming across the 166 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.639 swing states as expected because he's He's due to speak 167 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.000 in North Carolina today and he is expected to hit 168 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:12.120 some more battleground states next week. But Scaramucci said he 169 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.879 picked Vance. He knows Vance was a terrible, terrible pick, 170 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.919 and he's lighting up people inside the campaign right now 171 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.639 about picking Vance. 172 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.360 Yeah, well, it seemed like a rash decision because they 173 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.600 were all high on the assassination attempt and they could 174 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.840 do no wrong, and they didn't have to make a 175 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.960 calculated pick. 176 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.399 Just picked their friend. 177 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.639 And then that kind of faded, that that high of 178 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.639 the assassination attempt kind of faded, and now you're kind 179 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:40.480 of left with a dud. 180 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.879 Scaramooch says this is very typical behavior from the former president. 181 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.919 When things go awry, he starts firing people. So she says, 182 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.840 expect him to start firing some people in the campaign. 183 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.559 He sounded pissed off when he had that press availability 184 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.639 that went on for ninety minutes or whatever at mar 185 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.840 A Lago. The way he starts arted it, he sounded 186 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.559 out of breath, pissed off, like he was fuming. He 187 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.080 probably had just yelled at a bunch of people, and 188 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.840 that's what came across as all right, So he continues 189 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.320 to trot out Hannibal Lecter, right. He talked about Hannibal 190 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.159 Lecter at a rally in Atlanta at the beginning of 191 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.519 the month. They hate it when I use doctor Hannibal Lecter, 192 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:24.480 the great, late Great Hannibal Lecter, the late great apparent 193 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.559 reference to the media. They hate it when I do this. 194 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.159 At the RNC, he asked, has anyone seen silence of 195 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.360 the lambs? The late great Hannibal Lecter. He'd love to 196 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.759 have you for dinner. He usually mentions him when he's 197 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.159 talking about immigration to say that everyone who's crossing the 198 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:42.159 border is mentally ill, although there's not a lot of 199 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.159 proof of that, but he's consistent. 200 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.200 In mentioning Hannibal Lecter. 201 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.639 And they say in this article in the Washington Post, 202 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.440 it's classic, and we all know people like this that 203 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.279 go back to references from their glory days when they 204 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.559 rose to fame, when he he achieved celebrity status. They 205 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.360 call him the cryptkeeper of the nineteen eighties. It's when 206 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.159 Trump ruled New York City clubs and tabloids. First Grace 207 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.720 the cover of Time magazine. His rally playlists include Ymca 208 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.159 from seventy eight, Gloria from eighty two. The fit of 209 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.679 his suits, the length of his ties scream the nineteen eighties. 210 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.440 It's why he likes that gold interior design as well. 211 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.360 Trump Tower completed in eighty three. That was what his 212 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.080 biographer has said, that he's a cryptkeeper for the nineteen eighties. 213 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.000 That's a funny line that said. 214 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.879 Basically, every time he opens the door, people spill out 215 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.679 from the eighties. Roger Stone, Rudy Giuliani fashion from the eighties. 216 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.759 Monochrome suits are sorry, monochrome tie suits that are made 217 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.440 in two or three different colors. His office decre in fact, 218 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.679 is still the nineteen eighties. 219 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.000 None of his tastes have been updated in decades. Of course, 220 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.919 Silence of the Lambs coming out in nineteen eighty nine. 221 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.279 His book came out in eighty seven. But it's so true, 222 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.919 and we all kind of know people like that that 223 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:11.840 are frozen in a certain decade. Okay, well every the 224 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.200 eighties spill out. 225 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:14.480 I like that. That's good. 226 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.519 More proof that we as a people are circling the drain. 227 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.919 The famous pretzel shop Anti Ann's is debuting its first 228 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:29.879 ever perfume, inspired by the brand's signature aroma.

I don't want to come 288 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.000 across condescending at all. 289 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.679 At least three news outlets your decision against. 290 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.639 At least just said that word. 291 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.559 At least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from 292 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:34.200 inside the Trump campaign. Politico, The New York Times, and 293 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.440 The Washington Post have all written stories in the last 294 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.759 week or two about this potential leak and about where 295 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.720 it may have come from. 296 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.600 We talked yesterday. 297 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.200 The FBI I said to be investigating as to whether 298 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:50.399 or not it originated from this fishing attack, originated from Iran. 299 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.279 This decision to not publish what's inside. They've talked about 300 00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:00.320 the the fact that they received the information but that 301 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.840 they have not published it. 302 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.759 Very different from twenty sixteen. 303 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.639 If you remember, it was the Russians that hacked into 304 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.840 Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta's email, and then Wiki 305 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.240 Leaks published a bunch of those emails. Mainstream news organizations 306 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.320 picked them up and covered them. I don't know if 307 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.639 the argument then was, hey, we didn't publish it, We're 308 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.720 just reporting on the fact that they're out there, because 309 00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.559 WikiLeaks obviously doesn't have the same footprint today that it 310 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.799 did eight years ago. Politico wrote over the weekend about 311 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:39.240 getting emails starting July twenty second from a guy who 312 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.559 identified himself as Robert. It included a two hundred and 313 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.399 seventy one page campaign document about now vice presidential candidate 314 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.840 JD Vance and a partial vetting report on Senator Marco Rubio, 315 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.159 who was one of the potential VP picks. Both Politico 316 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.120 and The Washington Post said that they have independently confirmed 317 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.480 with people in the campaign that those in fact were 318 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.799 authentic documents. 319 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:04.519 They said it's. 320 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.559 Unclear who provided the material. Politico says it doesn't know 321 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:09.880 who Robert is and that when it spoke to the 322 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.920 supposed leaguer, he said, I suggest you don't be curious 323 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.960 about where I got them from. Now, the Trump campaign 324 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.880 seems pretty convinced that it was in fact Iran that 325 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.440 was behind it, although they don't have any evidence for that. 326 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:28.279 It did come a day after Microsoft report reported that 327 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.119 there had been an effort by military intelligence in Iran 328 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.039 to compromise the email account of a former senior advisor 329 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.400 to the campaign, and again, the FBI released a statement 330 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.799 just a couple of days ago that said that they 331 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.880 confirmed that the FBI is in fact investigating the matter, 332 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.319 so they said that this may have been somewhat of 333 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:51.759 a lesson. Trump and his team encouraged the coverage of 334 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.599 the wikileague's documents that came out. A BBC story talked 335 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:58.880 about the eighteen revelations that came out. Vox wrote about 336 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.440 John Pedesta's advice for making a superb Risottee. 337 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:10.119 I've got good vacation news for you. North Korea will 338 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.559 reopen limited international tourism by the end of the year. 339 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.079 I've never been to North Korea not yet. 340 00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:21.160 The announcement from the isolated communist country comes as South 341 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:24.599 Korea and the US whole joint military exercises next week 342 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.680 in a show of force as North Korea rams. 343 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.000 Up its nuclear threats. Why wouldn't you want to go? 344 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.720 What do you think the tourism slogan is for North Korea? 345 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:36.440 Mind your damn business. 346 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.160 American passports are not valid to travel to North Korea 347 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.319 unless specially validated. The US classifies North Korean travel as 348 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:50.039 a Level four risk, quoting here, do not travel. 349 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:50.640 Okay. 350 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.079 I have some breaking Stonehenge news. 351 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:55.640 Okay. 352 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:58.119 They are one step closer to figuring out how it 353 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.599 was created. A new study shows that the stone that's 354 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.079 lying flat at the center of Stonehenge, known as the 355 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.960 Altar Stone, came from a sandstone quarry near the tip 356 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.079 of northeast Scotland. Gosh not clear how they got it there, 357 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.720 sixteen foot slab of stone. They carried it by boat 358 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.279 or through land. It was the Aliens, about four hundred 359 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.680 and sixty miles. It traveled for more than a century. 360 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.079 They said they believed that it had come from Wales, 361 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.079 but they figured out no. In fact, it was the 362 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.880 north tip of northeast Scotland. It was once the home 363 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:30.720 of that piece of stone. 364 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.440 Fascinating. 365 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:32.920 You don't have to say that. 366 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.039 Did I sell it though? No? You want me to try 367 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:40.119 Let me try it again. That's fascinating better. 368 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.359 Okay, you still sound a little stone though. 369 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.039 That's fascinating. 370 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.519 That's good. Yeah, a good one, very stone. Sob all right. 371 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.960 So there is a serious case in Texas that has 372 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.640 to do with the parents of a school shooter. And 373 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.920 I almost said convicted school shooter, but in fact, Demetrios Pigwortz, 374 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.720 the guy who did this in Galveston, has been declared 375 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.880 mentally incompetent to stand trial. 376 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.359 So there is a civil trial taking place, and the 377 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.559 defendants are the parents of this guy, seventeen year old, 378 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.200 who killed eight of his classmates and two teachers at 379 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.519 Santa Fe High School in twenty eighteen. 380 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:28.880 It's the civil trial because in Texas, criminal charges could 381 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.319 have been brought against a parent if a child who 382 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.599 is sixteen or younger gains access to a loaded gun 383 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.240 that was not properly stored. But he was seventeen at 384 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.559 the time of the shooting. And the question is whether 385 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:46.359 the parents Demetrius Pogortus's parents were negligent in how they 386 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.039 stored their dozen rifles and shotguns and handgun in their 387 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.519 home and whether they could have taken steps to help 388 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.039 their son. 389 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.039 So for two weeks now the parents have sat in 390 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.279 court just a few yards from the parents of the 391 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.519 children who were killed in the massacre. A lawyer for 392 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.039 the plaintiffs, Clint maguire, said in his opening statement, there 393 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.359 were red flags if they did not know that he 394 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:11.039 was depressed, like they're claiming, it's because they failed in 395 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.160 their job as parents and they should have known. Now, 396 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:19.200 that is a dangerous statement to make on its face 397 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.680 because it is so arbitrary when you think about parenting 398 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.599 and what makes good parents and fulfilling your job as 399 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.319 a parent, and what does that mean, right, Yeah, it's 400 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.880 not black or white. Saying they should have known doesn't 401 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.119
