You're listening Outside the Box with Ben Komono's here on
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.119
Whby and Political Voices Network. Outside the Box is brought
3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.640
to you by Roush Plumbing and Remodeling. The plumbing and
4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.960
remodeling company the Fox Valley depends on you know, in
5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.480
an ideal world, I'd be starting the show off today
6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:25.480
playing sounds of our senior US Senator Ron Johnson claiming
7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.559
that there was election fraud in California and then showing
8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.440
you how he talks about election fraud when he doesn't
9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.640
realize he's being filmed to show you exactly how he's
10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.560
shepherding some cattle into a certain line of thinking. And
11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.520
if we're lucky, I'm going to be able to still
12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.920
jump into that in the ten o'clock hour. But man,
13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.280
do I have some thoughts guys? Ooops, as I knock
14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.079
my camera off the screen. There, I have some thoughts
15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.960
for you guys about yesterday, And let me fill you
16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.880
in here on exactly what I have to say to
17
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.920
you guys today, because not all of you follow me
18
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.200
on socials and I understand that, so a little bit
19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.000
of a lead into what we're talking about. If you
20
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.000
didn't hear my promos, I was at an event yesterday
21
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.159
in Nina surrounding the concept of flock cameras. Quite a
22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.760
few members of the community, not just Nina, but all
23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.319
around the Fox Valley had their opinions on the matter.
24
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.040
We were joined by the older person of Nina, a
25
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.359
couple of council members, the chief of the Nina Police Share,
26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.120
Officer Olsen was there, and a handful of others as well.
27
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.719
Sitting at the front table listening to all of us talk.
28
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.120
Everyone who listens to this show. And I'm choosing my
29
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.439
words carefully here because thankfully I also have an evening
30
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.920
show and was I kind of just screamed at the
31
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.439
camera for an hour yesterday because I was incredibly frustrated
32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.120
with the way things played out yesterday. But I'd like
33
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.480
to kind of lay out why I'm concerned, and then
34
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.439
I want to talk about the greater public and I'd
35
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.960
like to highlight We will be joined by Kate Hancock Cook.
36
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.560
She is the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors District seven representative.
37
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.000
She was at the event as well. She's gonna be
38
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.879
calling into the program at nine thirty to talk about
39
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.039
her thoughts. She was one of the speakers as well,
40
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.360
I got up and spoke. Over twenty people stood up
41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.639
and spoke, and everybody was very respectful of one another's time.
42
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.759
And I have more thoughts about how people talked as well,
43
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.039
but allow me to just kind of get this all
44
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:41.319
out there first. We are, in my opinion, barreling towards
45
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.520
a type of surveillance state that I think is going
46
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.280
to be very difficult to put the toothpaste back in
47
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.960
the tube. On the other side of doing this, I
48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.680
have shared with you guys that our allies in the
49
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.759
Middle East use Flock Cameras is an Israeli company of course,
50
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.800
and partner with Pallenteer and use those two softwares to
51
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.400
monitor the entire Palestinian population and try and determine who
52
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.800
is going to be a thorn in the side of
53
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.759
the IDF before they actually do anything. And they use
54
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.120
these cameras and they use Pallenteer software in order to
55
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.479
coordinate this. Our government is talking about partnering with Palenteer.
56
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.360
And while flock cameras are not new, they are popping
57
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.319
up in locations not just Wisconsin, but specifically because that's
58
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.439
what matters to us in Wisconsin. They are doubling in number,
59
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.400
and they are being placed everywhere now. As the technology
60
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.879
stands right now, it can only take still framed photos.
61
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.120
But also, when streaming services were created, they were a
62
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.719
cheap alternative to cable that didn't have commercials or extra
63
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.080
apps that needed to be purchased. How's that working out
64
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.879
for all of us?
65
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.240
Now?
66
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.840
Reaganomics did not sink the economy overnight. It's been a
67
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.960
forty five year process to get to where we are.
68
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.720
But the fact of the matter is, you can see
69
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.439
the tea leaves, you can see the way things are starting,
70
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.079
and this is coming. And lord knows, I don't play
71
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.920
identity politics, but this is coming from a demographic that
72
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.279
has the least to worry about when it comes to
73
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.360
flock cameras. Maybe I am a bit in a unique
74
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.120
position because my career requires me to put my political
75
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.279
opinions out there every single day, and were I to
76
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.360
run a foul of the wrong government official, then all
77
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.199
of a sudden, I might find myself in a different scenario.
78
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.399
But we already know about the Minasha police officer who
79
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.839
was alleged to be stalking a random citizen. And the
80
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.600
only reason that this person was found out is because
81
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.519
she reported him to a separate police station. We already
82
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:07.199
know that Flock is sharing this data with ICE in
83
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.000
order to catch all the Mixekians. And I'm sure this
84
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.680
won't be used for the Watts later in life. I'm
85
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.360
sure that won't happen. There's no point in history where
86
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.519
government surveillance was used to catch brown people and then
87
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.040
was ultimately turned around on us. I can't think of
88
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.680
a single example of that ever happening. So there's no
89
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.240
reason to be nervous about that. But here's the worst part.
90
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.040
You can sit there and hear me lay that out there,
91
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.519
be like Ben, put the tinfoil down. You have no
92
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.040
idea what you're talking about. None of this stuff matters. Okay, fine,
93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.399
let's say I have no idea what I'm talking about.
94
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.639
Let's say that I am just fear mongering for the
95
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.240
sake of a political talk show. Then let's talk about
96
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.920
what actually was said and what happened last night. As
97
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.279
I mentioned, there were about I did a head count.
98
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.040
This is my own personal count. Could I have miscounted
99
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.519
by one or two? Maybe I counted thirty six people
100
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.959
in the audience when we sat down. The people upfront
101
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:13.079
even commented on how crowded the event was. They were like, man,
102
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.199
there's a lot more people than we are used to
103
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.360
having here this year does and then they emphasized, They
104
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.759
were like, you get five minutes to speak, and we
105
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.639
are going to stick to that five minutes very strictly
106
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.839
because we want to make sure everybody can get their
107
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.800
thoughts out there. And for the record, everybody did a
108
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.040
phenomenal job of doing that. I myself and plenty of
109
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.920
others even mentioned while they were speaking, I have more
110
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.600
to say, but given how many people are going to speak,
111
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.959
I have a feeling what I'm going to say is
112
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.279
going to be echoed by someone else. Over twenty people spoke,
113
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.319
and I'd argue there was very little repetition, very little
114
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.439
repeating of oneself. Everybody went up and had a different opinion,
115
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.319
and I wrote a couple down. I personally went up
116
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.279
and I quoted Benjaman Franklin's those who are willing to
117
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.439
sacrifice freedoms for security deserve neither, and I talked about
118
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.560
how I was raised in America that mocked an authoritarian
119
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.040
China for doing exactly what we are proposing with these
120
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.839
flock cameras. People went up and spoke about their experience
121
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.160
as survivors of abuse at the home and how these
122
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.120
block cameras could be used in a negative way through
123
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.079
their experience. We talked about how someone else I shouldn't
124
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.879
say we everybody was operating with independent thought and thinking.
125
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.040
Other people stood up and spoke about Flock Camera's claim
126
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.040
that the surveillance cameras has had end to end encryption. Now,
127
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.279
for those of you listening to me that don't know
128
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.279
what that means, that means that much like how signal
129
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.399
chats work, the company itself is unable to access your data.
130
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.399
So whatever you message in signal, the company signal is
131
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.879
not able to acquire. Flock has stated on the record
132
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.000
that they have end to end encryption and cannot access
133
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.040
the video that is recorded through those cameras, and there
134
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.360
are countless examples of Flock doing exactly that, so the
135
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.439
claims of end to end encryption are obvious. BS people
136
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.360
went up and talked about it from a sales perspective,
137
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.800
questioning whether or not RFPs AKA requests for proposals had
138
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.639
been made to several companies in order to compare Flock
139
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.519
versus other companies that do the same thing, and for
140
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.159
the record, just to make it abundantly clear, I am
141
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.600
not a harm reductionist in this matter. I'm not anti Flock,
142
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.240
specifically for Flock. I am anti over the top surveillance
143
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.600
in a town that absolutely does not need it. I'm
144
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.720
gonna be real with you, guys. I am coming from
145
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.639
a city where crime is infinitely more prevalent than anything
146
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.240
that is happening in the Fox Valley. And I would
147
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.000
never advocate for these cameras to go up in Pittsburgh,
148
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.720
let alone in a place like any of the cities
149
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.080
in the Fox Valley. People were saying, how is it
150
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:07.399
that the security failures are obvious, they're flagrant, they are proven,
151
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.799
and yet we still are interested in doing business with them?
152
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.559
And how many of us in the corporate world if
153
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.200
every time you turned my show on fifteen percent of
154
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.360
the time I was spreading misinformation, how long would it
155
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.960
take some of you before you realize that there's probably
156
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.600
better programming out there. Although I'd probably have more magas
157
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:35.240
listening to me. The list goes on and on, twenty
158
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.440
plus people talking twenty plus unique attitudes. And I can
159
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.080
say this with all the humility on the planet, which
160
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.799
that sentence in and of itself is counterintuitive, But I
161
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.759
think I'm a very good public speaker. I think speaking
162
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.000
in public is a strength that I have, and I
163
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.720
would argue, if you're a regular listener, you would probably
164
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.480
agree with that sentiment. I was a and even in
165
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.279
the top half of people that were talking yesterday, people
166
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.320
were so well spoken, they were so well versed. They
167
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.360
knew their facts, they knew what they were talking about.
168
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:18.399
They were coming out there with statistics and examples of
169
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.759
failings and talking about other places in the Fox Valley
170
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.840
like Oshkosh who have ended their contract with Fluck and
171
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.559
so many people who took time out of their Tuesday
172
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.480
afternoon to go and speak out against an obvious example
173
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.000
of government overreach. And then our time to speak was done,
174
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.000
and it was time to listen to the police chief,
175
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.240
and it was time to listen to the elected officials.
176
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.840
The elected officials were across the spectrum, some of them.
177
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.120
One of them said, where does it stop if we
178
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.919
take these cameras down? What other cameras are we going
179
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.759
to take down? If anybody was talking about taking cameras
180
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.240
down from private lands, they weren't. They're talking about the
181
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.360
public lands where most of us are not consenting to this.
182
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.600
Other elected officials talked about the threats to protesters that
183
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.679
could exist, and that's absolutely real. And when I say protesters,
184
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.440
some of you are thinking, yeah, well, black lives Matter
185
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.159
and PIFA need to get cracked down. I will remember
186
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.320
that the next time you want to do an anti
187
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.919
VAXX protest and these cameras are against you, and I'll say,
188
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.960
n your safety and security outweighs all, because apparently that's
189
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.120
the way that you feel about these kind of things.
190
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:39.320
And when the.
191
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:44.919
Police chief spoke, he said that the thirty plus of
192
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.480
us over thirty five, according to my count, represent a
193
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.679
fraction of a fraction of a percent of the community
194
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.120
of Nina, and that nothing we said was going to
195
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:02.080
sway people's opinions. Argue, if I had to guess, this
196
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:09.240
is complete speculation. The max capacity of that room was
197
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:14.120
probably eighty people. We got close to filling half of that.
198
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.720
Where were so many people there that they felt a
199
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.320
need to comment on how many people were in that room,
200
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.279
saying that it was so out of the ordinary for
201
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.000
that many people to be there. And the police chief said,
202
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.480
you're a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of
203
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.960
a percent of the people who are in Nina and
204
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.759
that this is not swaying their opinion. And from some perspective,
205
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.519
there were men in this room, there were women in
206
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.840
this room. There were non binary people in this room.
207
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.960
I was chatting with a man named Jordan who was
208
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.519
wearing a Fox Valley Libertarian shirt, and I'm sitting there
209
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.440
as a tax the rich progressive. There were Democrats there,
210
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.679
there were Republicans. There fill in the blank of the
211
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:11.799
identity group, gen X, Boomers, gen Z, millennials. Everybody was represented.
212
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:18.039
One person had a positive block story. Everybody else was frustrated.
213
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.759
And the mayor of Nina took to the camera to
214
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.960
refer to the community that was there as an echo chamber.
215
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.240
We were not an echo chamber. We were the most diverse,
216
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.120
although not literally in terms of diversity, it was one
217
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:39.120
hundred percent whatt but we were an incredibly diverse community
218
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:45.039
of what people in that room with taking dozens of
219
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.159
different perspectives about our frustration. The idea that anything that
220
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.360
took place in that room could be misconstrued as an
221
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.480
echo chamber means that people were not listening. We're gonna
222
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.000
have an elected official on the program at nine point
223
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.279
thirty to talk about this more. We have our first
224
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.720
call today. We're going to get that call in. Anybody
225
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.879
else wants to chime in nine to two oh two
226
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.639
eight one eleven fifty nine two oh two eight one
227
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.639
eleven fifty, and we will continue this conversation be on
228
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.200
the call as well. But I want you guys to
229
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.559
chime in, especially anyone listening to me who was at
230
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.080
that event. I would love to hear from you. Nine
231
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.480
to two oh two eight one eleven fifty. Hello, you're
232
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:26.480
on outside the box.
233
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.039
Hey, good morning, Vent, It's Ben.
234
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.000
Hey, what's up man?
235
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.440
Happy to about it? Ah, not much. Just as far
236
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.600
as like the vaccine thing that you were talking about,
237
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.559
I don't recall there being any protests for anti vaccine.
238
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.240
I do recall people going back to work or trying
239
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.000
to get together in prayer. But they were quickly arrested
240
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.799
and fined and thrown in jail.
241
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.799
That's normal, that's normal protest behavior. I'm saying they weren't
242
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.559
monitored after the fact, and if I remember correctly, didn't
243
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.879
a bunch of truckers literally block the border between Canada
244
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.639
and America for a while, like trying to stop any
245
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.399
kind of commerce because they were that's a protest. So like,
246
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.639
like that stuff happened, and like and for.
247
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.559
The record, they have their bank accounts seized. I'm pretty
248
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.200
sure the truck drivers got their bath's accounts seized.
249
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.000
Right, Ben. You understand I'm arguing against that. Right.
250
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.039
I realized that you kind of resorted to tribalism the
251
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.480
last week or so. But you understand I don't want
252
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.200
this to happen.
253
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.000
Correct, Well, yes I do. Ben. I know where your
254
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.519
heart is, and I think you know where my heart
255
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.240
is too.
256
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.000
You know.
257
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.639
My frustration comes with you cannot ask any questions. These
258
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.960
are baseless. Everything is baseless. This is you know, this
259
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.559
is the way it is, and there's been no investigation
260
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.039
on nothing. We are a nation full of sinners. We
261
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.200
agree that there's Metacare fraud. We agree that there's healthcare fraud.
262
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.159
We agree that there's fraud across the board. People lie
263
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.480
every day of the week. But I swear all our
264
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.879
elections are free and safe.
265
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.480
All right, Ben, this isn't what I'm talking about. But
266
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.759
just to put this to bed right now, you call
267
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.879
this show multiple times a week. Donald Trump won the
268
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.320
election in twenty twenty four in the words election fraud
269
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.960
have not left your mouth in a year and a half,
270
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.240
and now that MAGA lost, you're talking about election fraud again.
271
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.840
It's not a matter of asking questions. It's that you
272
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.679
get mad every time MAGA loses and pretends there's a
273
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:31.559
conspiracy behind nobody liking this obviously trash agenda. That's your problem.
274
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.600
It's not that you're not allowed to ask questions. It's
275
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.960
that you're not allowed to ask questions only when your
276
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.519
team loses. I'm not talking about election fraud right now.
277
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.559
Let's stay focused. Let's stay focused, shall we. Justin says
278
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.720
there are big movements against flock. I would implore people
279
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.679
to go to dflock dot org and see the map
280
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.039
of cameras. Had I went there yesterday and had I
281
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.679
went yesterday and seen you, I meant to also show
282
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.080
you this.
283
00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.559
I'll have to look at that more.
284
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.599
Appreciate that we got a texter here, Tim Ben. When
285
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.079
the Nina police chief said that you represent a fraction
286
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.119
of a fraction of the people of Nina, he means
287
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.079
you're a fraction of the money John Bergstrom runs Nina,
288
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.599
the mayor, the police. Okay, well, I'll have to look
289
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:21.599
into that more. But nevertheless, you're exactly right. And so
290
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.799
to me when he says thirty six people showing up
291
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.400
is a fraction of a fraction of a community, and
292
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.279
everybody shows up well versed in the topic and willing
293
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.960
to actually have a real conversation about this. No one
294
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:39.240
was there saying defund the police. Nobody was there calling
295
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:43.240
cops bad names. I'd argue more than half the people said, actually,
296
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:49.920
I've had nothing but positive interactions with the Nina police.
297
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.519
It was an incredibly positive attitude the entire time. And
298
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.240
what that says to me when it's referred to as
299
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.319
an echo chamber, despite the fact that it was such
300
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.759
a diverse community of opinions, When you're called a fraction
301
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.119
of a fraction of the community, when you are told, wow,
302
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.640
this is such a large number of people that showed up,
303
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.000
it says to me that nothing the community did yesterday
304
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.759
was going to break through what the elected officials and
305
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:24.720
the police officers were going to do. These people work
306
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.519
for us, and I think it's time that they start
307
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.440
to remember that that is the case, because we ultimately
308
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.480
get to make these decisions and they are acting like
309
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.720
we're lucky that they are doing this. DSL says in
310
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.480
all fairness, you loved mass surveillance when it was catching?
311
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.480
When did I love it? DSL you point to me
312
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.640
the receipts. I know you have a caricature of me
313
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.480
in your head. You find me loving that, and you
314
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.759
let me know where you find that audio from, because
315
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.160
it's only in your mind. Cassandra says, Wow, Ben must
316
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.920
have taken recent mega directive seriously. Yeah, I just think
317
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.359
nor at this time we got one here no name?
318
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.319
Um is it common for the police chief to belittle
319
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.160
the opinions of the people at the meeting? I have
320
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.960
no idea. I'm gonna be real with you. I don't
321
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.519
I'm not gonna say I've never gone to these but
322
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.680
the fact of the matter is it doesn't feel like
323
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.319
a normal thing. I see I have more texts coming in,
324
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.400
but I believe my guest is calling in. So here's
325
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.319
what we're gonna do. One two, we got a less
326
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.359
than three minute break. We're gonna throw to a three
327
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.319
minute break. I'm gonna be speaking off the air, and
328
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.759
then we're gonna come back. As I mentioned at the
329
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.920
top of the segment, Kate Hancock Cook Winnebago County Board
330
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.200
of Supervisors District seven, was it? The meeting spoke at
331
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.200
the meeting is going to share her thoughts on the
332
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.279
matter as well, and we're gonna jump into that. On
333
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.359
the other side, you're listening to Outside the Box with
334
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.759
Ben Commonos here on whby all right, we're back the
335
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.079
afore mentioned Kate Hancock Cook patially waiting on hold with
336
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.759
me here. Thank you for joining me today, Kate.
337
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.119
How are you?
338
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.400
It's fabulous. It's a beautiful day of Nina, Wisconsin.
339
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.319
Yeah, yes, that it is, although we are expected just
340
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.839
atrocious storms later on, but I feel that nevertheless, Look,
341
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.960
we're we're about what fourteen fifteen hours removed from this
342
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.240
meeting that you and I both happened to be attending
343
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.240
here first time I think you and I have ever
344
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.960
interacted in person before here, and so I just kind
345
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.960
of wanted to tee you up. We spoke a little
346
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.640
bit off the air here, but I want to get
347
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.920
your thoughts on the matter, what you thought about the
348
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000
number of people that showed up and what you uh
349
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.079
and just the way people carried themselves, and then your
350
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.960
just general thoughts to the reaction to that, to that crowd.
351
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.839
Okay, I just want to clarify. I am an elected
352
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.920
member of the Winnebago County Board and I represent a
353
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.720
couple of districts in Nina. I'm also a member of
354
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.000
a Newton, the Park and Rec Commission, and the Planning
355
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.759
Commission in Nina. I was on the Sustainability Committee in
356
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.839
Nina since two thousand and seven. So I've been interacting
357
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:01.319
as a civilian or a memory a citizen member for
358
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.759
a number of years in committees, and I want to
359
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:09.799
clarify for people that Commissions Chairman Scott Weber did a
360
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.720
great job last night managing what happens in a committee meeting.
361
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.440
Leterally stated what you can speak when we could speak
362
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.880
as members of the public, and that afterwards he will
363
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:25.839
not be able to address the committee directly. So I
364
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.359
think that that really went well and he managed that well.
365
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:33.319
I want to emphasize to everybody stick with it. You've
366
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.279
got to keep going. You've got to keep going to
367
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.960
the city Council. You've got to talk to people at
368
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.640
all the committee levels you can to keep this in
369
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.640
front of them, otherwise they thirty people showed up, great,
370
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:48.720
Oh yeah, six months from now, they're going to forget.
371
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.039
I thought I was just going to go and say
372
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.480
I'm a citizen and I'm against block cameras, but I
373
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.680
didn't really give five whole minutes. That's pretty exciting. I
374
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.519
thought that the person who spoke before me, who had
375
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.799
hand out folks, this guy was totally prepared, did an
376
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.119
excellent job highlighting the challenges and inconsistencies that Flock has
377
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.599
continued to present. I thought that all of the citizens
378
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.720
who spoke had articulate and interesting and as Youth pointed out,
379
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.279
diverse things to say. I also felt that members of
380
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.720
the committee had some interesting and diverse things to say.
381
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.000
And I think that that combination that you cited earlier,
382
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.960
it was across the board. There are people in there
383
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.440
in that meeting room I knew I would never agree
384
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.759
with on anything else politically, but we agreed on this thing.
385
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.599
It was very very interesting to me. I want to
386
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:49.880
highlight that it was shown by the police chief that
387
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.319
was up the whole time we were talking. I think
388
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.559
was a presentation taken directly from Flock with the Flock
389
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.640
emblem in the corner, and it said the future of policing,
390
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.319
And I thought that was very interesting foreshadowing on what
391
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.519
the police chief is going to say, also understand that
392
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:13.160
they can't make a policy decision instantaneously, but they could
393
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.319
make it faster than at twenty twenty eight when the
394
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.640
contract runs out. I think that the position that the
395
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:24.519
police chief took that policing was being made easier using
396
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.119
Flock cameras is interesting, but it's simply a cost benefit
397
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.359
analysis that wasn't raised. This is a cost tire more
398
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.400
police officers or use these people these cameras and then
399
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.160
not know what's happening to the data. And that's the
400
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.839
biggest concern. We don't know where the data is going.
401
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.599
I think that the police chief's position that Flock tells
402
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.079
me it's fine, it's going nowhere, We're all good, is
403
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.519
a little disingenuous, and I think that we need to
404
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.240
poke at that a little bit more. Obviously not online,
405
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.759
and that The other thing that I wanted to highlight
406
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.599
is they talk about how they get rid of the
407
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.559
data after thirty days, but that doesn't mean Flock hasn't
408
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.440
already pulled all the metadata they want out of that information,
409
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.799
and they have it stored somewhere else, and we don't know.
410
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.119
We know that that's happened in instances in the past
411
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.880
relative to ice. And the last thing I'll highlight, because
412
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.160
I have a lot to say, is that the stories
413
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.640
that the police chief raised, the anecdotes about where this
414
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.839
information had been used is great, and we are all
415
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.720
taught in public speaking that stories are very compelling. Use
416
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.640
a story. I'm a retired scientist. I want data, and
417
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.200
there was no data, so there was no timeframe for
418
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.839
how long it had taken for these stories to occur.
419
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.519
Was it a number like eight and four years or
420
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.839
eight and one year, We don't know. We also don't
421
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.559
have any overall context for how much crime normally occurs
422
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:53.480
in Nina. It wasn't cited that this was two percent
423
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.799
of the crimes in Nina we're solved using flock cameras
424
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.640
or twenty seven percent. That would be important for us
425
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:03.640
to understand terms of how we value that that data. So, okay,
426
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:04.279
I'll shut up now.
427
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.319
Any Well, I thought you were just citing some great information.
428
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.519
We actually have a texter who said, I haven't done
429
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.000
a ton of research on them, but I'm also interested
430
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.400
in the benefits. And I think what you're highlighting there
431
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.640
is is that you know, there's what's to say, and
432
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.160
it's something about statistics and lies. But I'm blanking on
433
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.880
the actual numbers here. But as you and I kind
434
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.200
of chatted about off the air, and it's a conversation
435
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.720
that I have regularly on this show, like for sake
436
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:36.119
of argument, crime hit a small peak in twenty twenty
437
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.200
during lockdowns and kind of maintained between twenty twenty and
438
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.640
twenty twenty two, and has been on a very precipitous
439
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.279
decline since twenty twenty two. And in twenty twenty six,
440
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.960
people say, oh, look, how great all of these policies
441
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.000
are that we're just enacted, when in reality, it is
442
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:57.240
just reflecting a trend that we were on even prior
443
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.839
to the policies being enacted, and you kind of view
444
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.240
this from even a more macro scale than that, even
445
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:05.119
kind of going back several decades.
446
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.240
Yeah, I was looking at the data before I went
447
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.279
to the meeting, just to clarify, because it's sometimes you know,
448
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.240
there's what we call in statistics, signals versus noise, Right,
449
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.160
you don't know if what's happening is just variation or
450
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.759
is it the actual thing that you did that's causing
451
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.960
that change, And so it's hard, as the chief did
452
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.759
point out, this has only been a couple of years
453
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.160
of data. It's hard to know if the effect is real,
454
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.279
but we do know that we've seen an ongoing decrease
455
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.279
in crime overall for the last forty years. I would
456
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.519
recommend your listeners go to our world in data and
457
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.680
look up crime statistics for the United States for the
458
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.799
last fifty years, and we see declines in everything, and
459
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:47.880
so our guess our policing is getting better, and that
460
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:53.039
it's getting better. Before FLOCK showed up, maybe the other
461
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.480
thing that we were talking about is that and your
462
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.400
person who texted in there, As far as I can see,
463
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.240
there are no studies that show that flock is effective
464
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:09.759
other than studies that we're backed by FLOCK. So it's
465
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:13.200
important to note that the other thing is this overwhelming
466
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.440
set of so that the police chief said that he
467
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.400
does share with this conglomeration of two hundred and fifty
468
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.680
city police departments. Then, as somebody pointed out, very validly,
469
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:25.680
well how do we know what happens to that data
470
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.880
in those police departments? We don't know, We don't have
471
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.279
you know, and we have this sort of a well
472
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.559
we'll call it a gentleman's agreement that they're all going
473
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.480
to treat the data confidentially and all that kind of stuff.
474
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.640
And I think we're in an era where gentlemen's agreements
475
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.880
no longer count. So I'm concerned about that security. Pardon me,
476
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.680
I'll hang that up.
477
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:47.480
Oh, no worries. Yeah.
478
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.519
And I think a lot of the consternation Kate, we're
479
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:56.000
speaking with Kate Hancock Cook here Winnebago County Board of Supervisors,
480
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.000
District seven. I think a lot of the consternation stems
481
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.599
from the fact that I would say, say at least
482
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.240
a half a dozen different people were highlighting the very
483
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:08.240
obvious lies that Flock was caught in when talking about
484
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.279
what they do with the data with their end to
485
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.200
end encryption. We obviously have the situation in Oshkosh surrounding
486
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.440
heap maps that we've talked about on this show ad
487
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:19.400
nauseum when that was going on a couple months ago,
488
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.720
and blanking on the exact timeframe that it was now
489
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.039
because it just feels like one long day these days.
490
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.000
But I think there's a broken trust. And I think
491
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.640
it was mentioned at the meeting yesterday that if you,
492
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.200
as an individual were working with a company and had
493
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.640
your chust broken this many times it'd be a cold
494
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.400
day in hell before you continued working with them. And
495
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.759
it kind of feels like that's where a lot of
496
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.119
this frustration. Not that a lot of the people in
497
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.599
that room would have been okay with a different company,
498
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:51.200
but this company obviously has trouble really letting us know
499
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.480
what's going on behind the scenes, and that that's provable,
500
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.519
that's not really a that's not a conspiracy at this point.
501
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.240
Yeah, And I think that that's true, and that was
502
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:05.359
interesting in that again, the police chief did cite them.
503
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.759
If you go back and watch the meeting. Oh and
504
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.160
the meeting was of the Public Safety Commission for the
505
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.920
City of Nina. So those are citizen members and council
506
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.240
members who are on that commission and they meet on
507
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.079
I think a bi monthly basis. I serve on the
508
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.400
Judiciary and Public Safety Committee for the county Winnebago County.
509
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:28.079
Winnebago County has twenty flock cameras. And I think that, oh, no,
510
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.519
I lost my train of thought relative to the issues
511
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.880
about the lying. But I think that the challenge for
512
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.240
Chief Olsen was he cited that he called the FBI
513
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:39.680
to see if they could access the data. Well, they
514
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:43.440
probably could if they were granted that through ICE, through
515
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.920
the Department of Homeland Security, because they don't seem to
516
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:49.359
have any trouble citing this using this data, and there's
517
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.000
been instances in numerous cities across the United States. Dayton,
518
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.720
Ohio surprisingly cut off their flock cameras this year or
519
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.359
late last year because they found out that it was
520
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.559
in Dayton, Ohio. Doesn't seem to be a hot bed
521
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:06.039
of liberal thinking. But they were concerned about but that
522
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.440
the fact that the data was being being used for
523
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.880
purposes your police department hadn't authorized.
524
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.440
Yeah, it's a really interesting conversation. For the record, for
525
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.359
everybody listening. This event was last night. I will be
526
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.240
reaching out to a chief of police, Olsen with Nina
527
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.559
to see if he wants to come on the program here.
528
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.279
But Kate, before I let you go, before we wrap
529
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.160
up this segment here, do you have any other thoughts?
530
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.599
I do think I appreciate you kind of sharing the
531
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.799
stick with it attitude. That was my thought when I
532
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.920
heard people talking about moratoriums, and I was like, all
533
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.759
that's going to happen is people are going to forget
534
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.920
about this and be right back in the frying pan
535
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.680
in twelve months or whatever the situation is. And so
536
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.000
I guess I opened the floor for you. Any last
537
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:50.400
comments before we wrap.
538
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:55.319
Up, I just again, I would reinforce that, and being
539
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.119
a feminist, I just want to remind you everybody that
540
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.200
suffrage took seventy three years, so we need to have
541
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.759
more patients than our current age yet generally allows us
542
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.880
to have. But I would say that being making sure
543
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.960
that you stick with this people Listen, if people keep
544
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.319
showing up and go to your county board, go to
545
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:16.599
your any committee meeting that might have some influence on
546
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:19.960
flat cameras, the police department, all of that stuff, stick
547
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.240
with it because it's important for them to understand that
548
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.799
we are more than just a fraction of a fraction
549
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.400
of a fraction.
550
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:28.839
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. Well, I know
551
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:30.880
I said that was my last question. But do you
552
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:35.119
know where where can somebody watch the recording of the video.
553
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.680
Is there a spot where they can go and check
554
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:37.119
that out?
555
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.720
My guest is I haven't done this personally, but I'm
556
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.359
sure that they're on that They're connected to the City
557
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.240
of Nina website somehow, so you can contact the city
558
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:49.200
clerk and Nina and find out, or you can just
559
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:54.000
google a city of Nina recordings and probably find it there.
560
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:55.359
If I find out, I'll text.
561
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.640
You the info.
562
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.640
Wonderful looking forward to that. Thank you very much for
563
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.240
joining us, Kate, and I'm sure we'll have you on again.
564
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.680
This is not the last time we'll be dealing with this,
565
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.000
I'm sure, so thank you for being here.
566
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:07.839
Bye.
567
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.319
All right, guys, plenty of you are text and we're
568
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:12.519
gonna get all these texts in on the other side
569
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:14.440
of the break, So everybody stay where you are. We're
570
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.119
gonna keep the conversation rolling. You're listening to Outside the
571
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.400
Box with Ben Komonos here on Whby. I saw one
572
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.640
of my people watching on TikTok say something about small
573
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.559
government Republicans, and I think we're gonna have to stop
574
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:29.720
with this small government Republican thing. All they want, the
575
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:33.160
only thing Republicans are small government about is they want
576
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.160
all of their money to go to Elon Musk. They
577
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.960
want you to know what you're doing with your with
578
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.440
your gender of affirmation surgeries. They want to know where
579
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.119
the Mexicians are coming from.
580
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.880
They want to know.
581
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.759
What you're talking about in your personal life. Republicans are
582
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.480
fine with all of this mass surveillance. It's quite literally,
583
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.599
we are reliving the two thousands again, and the only
584
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:58.680
difference is we have all the answers to the bleep
585
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.599
in tech test time. The Patriot Act was passed in
586
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:08.880
the late two thousands, and while MAGA didn't exist, someone's
587
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:12.839
asking nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty nine
588
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.039
two oh two, eight one eleven fifty come on the
589
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.440
show try and push back U Republicans. MAGA wasn't a
590
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.279
thing when the Patriot Act passed, but the equivalent of MAGA.
591
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.880
Republicans were the people saying, what's the big deal about
592
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.960
the Patriot Act? As long as you're not committing any crimes,
593
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.440
it doesn't matter. What matters about surveillance, it doesn't matter.
594
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.680
Look at me, I'm big brained. And those same magas
595
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.319
are the people saying, what can you believe the government
596
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.400
spying on us through our emails and text messages? Yes
597
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.359
we can, MAGA, we told you in the early two thousands,
598
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.279
and you're pretending now like this is something that just happened.
599
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.519
So how about we skip that fifteen year period where
600
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.079
you are highlighted to not know what you're talking about,
601
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.640
and we just jumped to the point where you realize
602
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.720
that these flock cameras are going to be used in
603
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:07.640
a negative capacity. I cannot stress enough. In Israel, they
604
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.480
use it to determine who is going to be hamas
605
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.519
before they even do anything, and then they go and
606
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.119
arrest them. Now, some of you are listening to me
607
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:21.800
say that and think, good, we gotta catch them terrorists, until,
608
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.679
of course, the terrorists are labeled as the people that
609
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:30.559
don't want to wear masks during a pandemic. So you
610
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.920
tell me nine two oh two, eight, one eleven point fifty,
611
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:39.880
learn the numbers, or stop messaging me. Please you tell
612
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:46.960
me what the difference is, because once it's aimed at you,
613
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.360
you all of a sudden will go hair on fire
614
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.400
and blame President Gavin Newsom or whoever the hell it
615
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.840
is for the government overreach. Meanwhile, you are the exact
616
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:59.800
people who are championing this right now, and I promise
617
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:02.960
you so. While I am frustrated about it, and I
618
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:06.119
hate the fact that it is happening to any MAGA
619
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.000
that has to complain about what it is that they
620
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.760
are going to be dealing with with surveillance. After the fact,
621
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.000
I will be mocking you to your face. I will
622
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:19.159
not take your claims seriously at all, much like I
623
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.239
do not take Ben's claims of election fraud seriously. You
624
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.599
will actively be mocked if you try and complain about
625
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.800
this once this gets instituted. Now I'm gonna run through
626
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:37.000
my text messages here. Phil says, in a public meeting
627
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.440
such as the flock meeting last night and Nina, which
628
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.599
brought in approximately forty people, represents a fraction of a
629
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.440
fraction of our city officials, and the room only holds
630
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.159
sixty people, why would it even matter to hold these
631
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:52.079
listening events. That's exactly my point. There was no amount
632
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:58.079
of a pushback that was actually going to change these
633
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.800
people's minds. And that's the frustrating part about all of this.
634
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.079
Brian says, So they made the decision, you mean, against
635
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.800
the public. I can't think of that ever happening before
636
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.639
approved data centers, corporate building projects with tax credits, public
637
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:17.880
building projects. As your guest points out, if you don't
638
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.440
show up, they'll do what they want. And Brian, don't
639
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:24.840
think that this data center conversation isn't absolutely tied to
640
00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:30.840
the flock cameras it's all tied together. We are slowly
641
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.599
being shepherded into a hyper surveilled state. The exact crap
642
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.800
people used to make fun of China for in the
643
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.280
nineties is the stuff that a certain population MAGA is
644
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.079
championing right now. And for the record, when Donald Trump
645
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:51.199
gets obliterated in twenty six and eventually loses in twenty
646
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:54.480
eight and the Democrat has control of this, something tells
647
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:57.079
me MAGA will all of a sudden realize that government
648
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.440
surveillance is bad and liberals will think the good guys
649
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.519
have the control of the rains again, mark my words.
650
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.360
That's where this is ultimately headed. So how about we
651
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.199
just skipped to the part where we all jump on
652
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:13.239
the bandwagon and admit I'm right. We got one person
653
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:17.519
who was there, Carla. My favorite part of the meeting
654
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.400
last night was when Chief Aaron Olsen said he didn't
655
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.519
know if it was true that Appleton PD caught the
656
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:27.840
Manasha PDE officer staking his ex stalking his ex by
657
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.239
using flock cameras while at home and off duty, when
658
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.599
it has been reported and in court records that it
659
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.960
was Appleton. After the woman reported that she thought that
660
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.960
that was happening Nina still shares their flock info with Manasha.
661
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.639
Very interesting stuff there, justin saying, if there's a meeting
662
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.000
in Grand Shooter Appleton, I may just have to go.
663
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.199
But the only way I knew about this was your show.
664
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.079
I'm not on social media, so I'm unaware of local events.
665
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.840
And I'll be honest. It was a local activist group,
666
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.079
Sister Jones, which is local to Appleton, which got it
667
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.960
on my radar. Otherwise I wouldn't have been there either.
668
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:04.360
But I'm gonna do my best to kind of provide
669
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.159
you guys with that information as it as it's made
670
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.960
available to me. But it's not like I have some
671
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.719
kind of secret calendar or anything like that, because again,
672
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:18.519
they'd prefer you just didn't show up, right. So it's
673
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:20.960
so funny. I got a random TikToker saying that I
674
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.320
have the capacity to block him just because he can't
675
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.239
type simple numbers into his phone, and it's like it's
676
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.880
somewhat distracting trying to do this show. But this guy, God,
677
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.440
don't eat the crayons, Bud. And then we got a
678
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:39.920
bunch of big government Republicans jumping into the conversation we
679
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.880
are being recorded and it's becoming more commonplace than not
680
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:47.000
being recorded at almost every home you go through a
681
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.159
ring a ring blink system, et cetera, not only outside
682
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.800
of homes, but inside of people's homes. This is a
683
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.000
strange and interesting topic of being reported recorded because it
684
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.480
makes me really think about all the places society is
685
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.719
recorded exactly. It's something referred to as surveillance creep. Ronald
686
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:08.920
Reagan didn't get nominated or elected do trickle down economics,
687
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.760
and the entire middle class collapsed in on itself. Ronald
688
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:17.000
Reagan enacted trickle down economics, nobody ruled it back for
689
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.159
fifty years, and the middle class was slowly cannibalized, ultimately
690
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:26.280
resulting in the shrinking and struggling affordability crisis that we
691
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.719
have today. This stuff doesn't happen overnight. It happened slowly.
692
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:31.519
I said.
693
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.079
The irony of so many people going to that meeting
694
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:37.400
to complain about being surveilled by cameras, only to go
695
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:41.639
on social media and then complain about flock cameras, that's
696
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.800
not lost on me. But the principle still holds that
697
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.840
we need to take this stuff seriously. We got sixty seconds.
698
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.159
I'm getting my first call. We got plenty of texts.
699
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.199
Make a quick clo. You're an outside the box.
700
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:54.480
Oh hey, benni's Carla.
701
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.320
I'm just calling to make sure that the phone lines
702
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.039
do in fact work. That's all.
703
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.280
Thanks by Yeah, thank you, Carla. I appreciate that very much.
704
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:04.599
It's almost like the people that can't figure out how
705
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.599
to get on this show are too scared to call
706
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.480
in and try and make a point because they realized
707
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.039
they might be jumping into the deep end. Jimmy says,
708
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.960
one hundred percent of crime is unacceptable. How's that for data?
709
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.199
Great point, Jimmy, I take you very seriously as an individual.
710
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.639
Tim says, is there a weather update? The sky looks angry.
711
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:26.000
That's the understatement of the century. But yeah, it is
712
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.800
getting ugly out there. Expect rain and storms for the
713
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.840
foreseeable future. But I don't have anything specific right now.
714
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.320
We're gonna go to break. I'm available on all the
715
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.440
social media's. We're streaming live on the YT, the FB,
716
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:43.719
and TikTok, and we'll we'll keep the conversation rolling on
717
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:45.559
the other side here, We've got a couple more texts
718
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.519
to get in, plenty more to talk about as well.
719
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:49.679
We'll see where we go outside the box. All right,
720
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:54.800
we're back ben Commonos whby political voices network Outside the
721
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.239
box to box is brought to you by Roush Plumbing
722
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.400
and Remodeling, the plumbing and remodeling company. The Fox Valley
723
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.679
depends on if you are just joining us. We dedicated
724
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:12.159
the entire first hour talking about flock cameras, talking about
725
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:17.400
a hearing that I personally attended in Nina, surrounding those
726
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.639
flock cameras, And as Mark says, and I think this
727
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.679
kind of sums it up.
728
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.239
I think the chief's.
729
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.800
Words, fraction of a fraction of a fraction is about
730
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.440
as arrogant as Marie Antoinette saying let them eat cake.
731
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.320
And I do tend to agree with you on that sentiment.
732
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:31.639
Mark.
733
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.039
You had the police chief saying that we were a
734
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:35.119
fraction of a fraction.
735
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:35.800
You had.
736
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.559
The mayor of Nina saying that we were an echo
737
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:46.679
chamber despite every political leaning being represented. The only people
738
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.840
not questioning what's happening are the people that are scared
739
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:54.000
to question Donald Trump ever everybody else. If you can
740
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.679
acknowledge that just because Maga loses an election, you don't
741
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:02.320
think the election was rigged, Thai surveillance the number of people,
742
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:04.679
and it is very disappointing to see how many people
743
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.719
are coming out of the woodwork to champion surveillance, because
744
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.760
it goes to show you that people will vote for
745
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.880
their own downfall because they're scared of minorities, and like,
746
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.559
that's wild, It's just wild. And I realized I was,
747
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:18.840
I was, you know, brought up, you know, in a
748
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.519
more urban environment, and I had, you know, a more
749
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.360
diverse cast of characters that I was surrounded by, and
750
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.840
so maybe just my upbringing allowed for me to just
751
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:28.400
not be.
752
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.320
Wired that way.
753
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.159
But as you approach forty and you see people voting
754
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:35.320
to give away their freedoms, to gut the social safety
755
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:40.239
nets that built America all because of Mexicans and black people,
756
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.360
it's it's very difficult for me to understand. Like I'm
757
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.920
not trying to portray Pittsburgh, like I grew up in Harlem,
758
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:52.039
but where I own my duplex, you could be mid sentence,
759
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:56.480
you could hear a loud bang from a rifle or something,
760
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.440
and like, unless you could tell it was on your block,
761
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:03.360
you almost don't even flinch. And I would never advocate
762
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.559
for this kind of technology in Pittsburgh and we're sitting
763
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.679
here in the Fox Valley, Like, what the hell are
764
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:11.440
you people afraid of? Like, in all honesty, I'm not
765
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.760
going to say nothing bad can ever happen, but like,
766
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.639
what the hell are you guys so afraid of in
767
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:20.440
your day to day life that you would be willing
768
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:28.119
to be perpetually surveilled by AI? Like what about your
769
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:31.599
life here is so scary to you? Because I am
770
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.199
telling you right now, as Ben Franklin said, if you
771
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:43.360
sacrifice your freedoms in the name of safety, you deserve neither.
772
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.159
And for the record, I'm not leaning into the lies that, oh,
773
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.239
the big blue cities have all this crime. The crime
774
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.480
isn't even that bad in Pittsburgh. I'm telling you right now,
775
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:59.039
I saw more crap happen because it's a larger population
776
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.679
of people that does not happen here. I could walk
777
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:05.400
down downtown Appleton at one o'clock in the morning and
778
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.280
at no time would I be like, oh, boy, looks
779
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.360
like I ended up on the wrong side of the tracks.
780
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.320
That's not a thing that I am worried about. And
781
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.960
I want to know what's going on in your head
782
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:23.760
that you think that makes sense? Uh, Leanne says, thanks
783
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:25.880
for keeping an eye out for all of us. It's
784
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.599
tiring being told we are a percent of a percent
785
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.639
until we won our taxes and votes. These flock cameras
786
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:34.039
are just the beginning of nineteen eighty four or the
787
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:38.360
movie Minority Report. I think you're exactly right, Leanne, and moreover, yet,
788
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:42.719
you know what, three dozen people isn't a very large number,
789
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.760
but you know what, it is a larger number than one,
790
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:50.360
because that's how many people showed up in favor of flock.
791
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.960
If it's a fraction of a fraction, then where was
792
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:57.519
the fraction of the fraction that showed up in support
793
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:03.000
of living in a perpetual valence state. Somebody explained to
794
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:05.519
me why it is that it seems like a bunch
795
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.159
of people that are super anti being surveiled were able
796
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.719
to find some time. It wasn't unemployed people. And the
797
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:15.559
best part is nothing against people who are of retirement
798
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:18.320
age or are retired that show up to this kind
799
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:20.360
of stuff. But I'm here to tell you right now,
800
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.320
there were parents, there were workers. I felt like I
801
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:26.000
was middle of the pack in terms of age, maybe
802
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:28.440
a little on the younger side, but not by much.
803
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.079
A lot of people in their thirties and forties, a
804
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.360
lot of new moms, a lot of old moms or
805
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.760
dads for that matter, but I specifically remember moms going
806
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:42.360
up to speak, well educated, well versed people showing up
807
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.800
with statistics and highlighting the exact ways in which these
808
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.360
companies lie to us and exploit us. And for some reason,
809
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:53.400
some of you are willing to just fall in line.
810
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:56.199
Some of us were born to follow orders, some of
811
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.960
us were born to question them. I'll let you guys
812
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.159
guess which one I am. I received a text that
813
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:05.840
just okay, that's a different one there, these says Fox
814
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:09.800
News foments the fear of crime, immigrants, Iran nuclear program,
815
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:12.360
et cetera. Keeps the sheep in line just like a
816
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:13.000
sheep dog.
817
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:13.280
Yeah.
818
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:16.719
Maybe, I mean that probably has something to do with it.
819
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.960
I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't
820
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.239
It's just it's very surreal, and it's extra surreal to
821
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.800
me just bringing a different lived experience and then coming
822
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:33.599
here and experiencing how different it is. And I mean,
823
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:36.119
I realize, uh, you know, one or two of the
824
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.400
people in here. Notwithstanding that the people who are telling
825
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:43.639
me that surveillance is good. Are perpetual contrarians, uh, living
826
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:48.599
in an ever just an ever sustaining state of just
827
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.039
taking the opposite stance of whatever I say. And I
828
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:54.360
recognize that comes with the territory, But I mean the
829
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.280
people who are normally level headed who advocate for this
830
00:46:57.400 --> 00:46:59.760
kind of stuff, I just don't get it, not being
831
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.239
able to see it, and like it wouldn't even hurt
832
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:04.880
as much if we didn't already go through this with
833
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:10.599
the Patriot Act, but we did.
834
00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:17.039
It's wild. It's just wild to me. Paul says.
835
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:19.599
I don't think we need surveillance, But I also don't
836
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.400
think you can feel completely safe on college abb after
837
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:23.360
midnight anymore.
838
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:24.000
You can.
839
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.920
Not not one hundred percent safe. But I also don't
840
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.480
feel one hundred percent safe doing media, Like I'm like, man,
841
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:34.480
I saw what happened to Charlie Kirk. That sure is scary,
842
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.800
but like I'm gonna keep doing media, and I don't
843
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:40.239
expect there to be a security team around me all
844
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.159
the time, Like event there is an inherent risk to
845
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:49.480
all of life, Yes, but walk through the Hill District
846
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:51.760
in Pittsburgh and then talk to me about walking through
847
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.119
downtown Appleton after one o'clock in the morning. I've gotten
848
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.840
stopped walking in neighborhoods. You want to talk about privilege.
849
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:02.480
I got stopped walking in neighborhoods in Pittsburgh where the
850
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.880
police officers pulled over and they were like, you definitely
851
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.719
don't belong in this neighborhood. But I had friends in
852
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:11.360
that neighborhood because I don't let people tell me who
853
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.199
I'm supposed to hang out with and who I'm not
854
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.280
supposed to hang out with. And there's good people in
855
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:21.079
all places. And the idea that anybody's scared walking down
856
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.679
West College A just says to me that you haven't
857
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:26.480
lived anywhere else. No offense to you guys, of course,
858
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:30.079
but that's kind of the way I feel about that.
859
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.400
Uh uh.
860
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.800
John out in Oshkost says, we have been surveyed as
861
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.480
long as there's been police on patrols in our cities
862
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.440
to keep everybody safe. Cameras is just another tool to
863
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.800
aid in the protection of our community. This is all
864
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:49.599
done in public, right, John. Here's the problem when the
865
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:54.920
company who's being included has partnered with Pallenteer in Israel.
866
00:48:56.519 --> 00:48:58.239
And they use these.
867
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:01.920
Flock cameras in order to prepare actually monitor the people
868
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.719
who live in Gaza and declare them to be terrorists,
869
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.519
not because of something they've done, but because of the
870
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:14.440
data they have collected on these people. I do not
871
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:19.199
want that in America. That is deep state police BS.
872
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.440
And I was of the impression in John. I don't
873
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:23.559
know what way you lean far be it for me
874
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:27.559
to presume, but I was always told right wingers, libertarians
875
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.920
and Republicans hated big government. But it seems as though
876
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:34.719
you want big governments in a perpetual state of monitoring
877
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:39.360
you all the time. We know Pallenteer is being included.
878
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.679
And by the way, there was a Palenteer data breach
879
00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.039
not that long ago. I read someone for me. I
880
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:45.800
didn't get a chance to read about it, but that
881
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.119
sure is an interesting development. But when you take all
882
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:54.400
of these elements into account, I do not want these
883
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:59.039
cameras going up. I don't care. I like, here's the deal.
884
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.039
You're like, oh, oh, what about ring cameras. I never
885
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:05.639
bought a ring camera? Oh what about Alexa? I never
886
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:09.880
bought Alexa. Yes I have a smartphone. Yes I have
887
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.519
social media, specifically because I work in media and did
888
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.119
not use it prior to that, and I do not
889
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:21.960
want the government. The government's cutting our social programs. It's
890
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:25.320
taking our Medicare, it's taking our Medicaid. It's telling me
891
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.119
that I'm not going to have access to social Security.
892
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.639
But you bet your ass they want to be involved
893
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.920
in my life when they want to spy on me
894
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.960
NonStop to make sure I'm not saying anything negative about
895
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.719
everybody's favorite Orange Dad president or sleepy Joe. I will
896
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:43.320
not live in a version of America like that. And
897
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:46.280
if I remember correctly, a lot of boomers used to
898
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:50.840
mock China for polling this kind of crap, and now
899
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.000
it seems as though you want to copy them. But
900
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.599
do it better because we're going catch Antifa.
901
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:56.599
No they're not.
902
00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.280
They're going to catch all of us. And by the
903
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.280
time you realie that, it's going to.
904
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:01.960
Be too late.
905
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.199
And I have to say, I'm just gonna say it here, Boomers,
906
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:09.440
I love you. But I also notice that a lot
907
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:12.440
of the people that are pro adding all of these
908
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:16.719
cameras everywhere are closer to the back nine than they
909
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.400
are in the front nine. I do not want to
910
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.320
live the next forty five years of my life in
911
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:30.800
constant surveillance by our government making sure that I do
912
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.559
not step out of line. And I would think most
913
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:40.079
of us can agree with that sentiment, at least people
914
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.800
with a basic capacity for common sense. Brian says, it
915
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.320
does not bother them slash us until it happens to them,
916
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:50.280
slash us. But add it together, ring door exactly, I'm
917
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.079
gonna read this ring doorbells, Alexa, traffic cameras, your phone,
918
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:58.039
your smart appliances, your cars, using the credit card GPS.
919
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.440
In general, when can you ever drop out of you?
920
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:05.519
And Brian now take the surveillance element and apply it
921
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:08.679
to the economy. Tax cuts for the rich, make stock
922
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:13.480
buybacks illegal, deregulate the banks, make it so that you
923
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.880
can't declare bankruptcy to get out of student loan debt.
924
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.000
Make it so that healthcare companies are able to operate
925
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.440
for profit. One of those things happening does not create
926
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:28.000
an economic crisis. All of those things, stacking on top
927
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:31.119
of each other, results in an affordability crisis that neither
928
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:34.840
Democrats nor Republicans have any interest in actually addressing in
929
00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:37.880
a meaningful way, because that requires them to stand up
930
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.119
to the same billionaires that fund their campaigns. And now
931
00:52:41.159 --> 00:52:45.440
we have people who are advocating for the people, pointing
932
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:48.440
out that our government will not stand up for us
933
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.199
to be in a constant state of surveillance, and we're
934
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.599
supposed to pretend like that's a normal line of thinking.
935
00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:56.760
I'm sorry, but Waka walka Maga and Blue Maga, you
936
00:52:56.840 --> 00:53:03.159
don't know what you're talking about. Justin says it's like
937
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:06.039
I said in my hearing opinion, which I did send
938
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:10.719
to the mayor full text, the Party of Small Government
939
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:14.880
bats and eye when their own rights erode inch by inch,
940
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.760
they don't tread on me. Snake is slowly but surely
941
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:23.039
eating its own tail. No, you're exactly right, and like
942
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.440
even the one pro and like I'll tell the story.
943
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:31.199
One woman stood up and spoke in favor of flock cameras.
944
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.079
And she was older, because it's the older people who
945
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.599
want to instill this stuff and then not be here
946
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:40.400
anymore and leave us to deal with the hyper surveilled state.
947
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:43.840
And the only reason she was pro fluck is she
948
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:47.039
told a story about her mom with Alzheimer's or dementia
949
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:49.400
or whatever it was, and how she got lost and
950
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.599
she ultimately ended up getting spotted by a camera or something.
951
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:59.320
Had she not specifically been impacted by flock. I promise
952
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:01.480
you she wouldn't have in there saying anything about it,
953
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:04.119
because that's the way people are wired, at least on
954
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.039
the right. The left, I find typically has a capacity
955
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:13.039
for empathy anti legalizing the devil's lettuce, until, of course
956
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:16.960
it impacts somebody in your family in a positive way.
957
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:19.519
Then of course you realize that it's a good idea.
958
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:27.559
I just don't get it. Tom brings up a great point.
959
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.320
If you're unhappy living in the US, just move to
960
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:33.119
a place where ideas like yours are just like ideas
961
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:36.679
like yours. Exactly. So, if Tom's pro fluck, move to
962
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:40.559
communist China where they monitor you twenty four to seven,
963
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.960
go do that. I think that's a great suggestion. Tom
964
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.760
should head over to China and become hyper surveilled. I
965
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.559
live in America, the Land of the Free and the
966
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:56.039
Home of the Brave, with amendments, specifically the Fourth Amendment
967
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.599
that protects me against illegal search. Unfortunately, I'm going to
968
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:03.679
be in a perpetual state of being searched. If these
969
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:07.559
flock cameras go up, I will use every fiber of
970
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.840
my being to tear down these surveillance cameras metaphorically, of course,
971
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.519
anybody trying to put these up, I will make sure
972
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:19.719
that the anti flock community knows what's going on. And
973
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.119
there's a lot more of us as a fraction of
974
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:24.519
a fraction of a fraction than there are of the
975
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:29.599
pro big Daddy government catching damn Mexicans with these flock cameras.
976
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:33.199
Move to China, Tom, good luck to you. We're gonna
977
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:35.599
go to break and when we come back, we're changing gears.
978
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:38.719
I want to jump into election rigging because I didn't
979
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:40.760
get a chance to finish that yesterday. That should call
980
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:44.239
me down a little bit. I'm sure Ron Johnson went
981
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:47.519
on News Nation yesterday or two days ago, excuse me
982
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:48.800
to talk about how the.
983
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:52.159
Elections were stolen and Walker walk out, don't question anything.
984
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.800
Turns out though, when he's being secretly recorded, he has
985
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.280
an entirely different opinion. And why don't we listen to
986
00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.880
both of those opinions On the other side of the break,
987
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:02.960
you're listening outside the box here on whby all right,
988
00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:06.480
we're back outside the box. Ben Kameno's w hbhy as
989
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:10.559
the skies have cracked open outside the Myron Construction studio.
990
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:16.440
Please do stay safe out there. We're expecting storms the
991
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:19.239
rest of the day, maybe for the rest of our lives,
992
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.920
potentially based on the.
993
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:22.800
The forecast here now.
994
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.840
In all seriousness, it's it's looking ugly out there, and
995
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.360
depending on where you live, I'm sure you've got different
996
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:29.559
things happening outside you.
997
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:30.599
But I'm watching.
998
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:33.239
The the radar up on the TV in front of
999
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.199
me right now, and it looks as though we have
1000
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:38.440
the reddest part of the storm passing over us as
1001
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:40.440
we speak, but there's quite a bit of green and
1002
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:44.880
yellow behind that, so please do be uh be careful
1003
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:49.719
about that. So in any event, I want to switch
1004
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:55.519
gears here because I have been dealing h I've been
1005
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:57.679
hammering this flock event. For the record, I'm going to
1006
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:00.280
be sending an email to the Nina Police Chief as
1007
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:02.000
I get off the air, inviting him to come on
1008
00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:03.760
the program, and I may reach out to the Nina
1009
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:06.840
Mayor as well see if he's interested in coming on
1010
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:08.679
the program as well. But they're gonna have some pretty
1011
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:11.760
serious questions that they're going to have to answer because
1012
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:14.960
I do not believe that the appropriate level of respect
1013
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.960
was shown to the people who had completely valid concerns
1014
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:19.920
and it seems like I got a bunch of new
1015
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.280
Texters for the first time today that are all coming
1016
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.239
out of the woodwork to support Flock. I'm sure that's
1017
00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:30.079
a coincidence. So we are This won't be this last
1018
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:32.719
time we have this conversation, and this will be always
1019
00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:36.000
be a show for individual freedoms on this program and
1020
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.920
a government that works for its people, not against its people. Now,
1021
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:42.480
and I picked this shirt for a reason for somebody
1022
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:45.519
who said that the shirt is appropriate today, I'm dressed
1023
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.679
like Captain America. There's a reason why I'm wearing this
1024
00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:52.039
shirt today. This show is American af From what I understand,
1025
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:54.920
the kids tell me that stands for and fun. So
1026
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.480
I think that's the best way to describe this show. Now,
1027
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:03.039
I want to switch gears here into the conversation about
1028
00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:05.840
election rigging, and caller Ben decided to call in the
1029
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:09.320
first hour and make it about election rigging. Then I
1030
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:13.000
really want to state this unequivocally. I am not against
1031
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:16.119
the idea that an election can be stolen. If you
1032
00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:20.519
have evidence that an election has been stolen, absolutely, let's
1033
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.320
look into this. People are corrupt. I'd argue there's a
1034
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:26.519
lot of systems in place to prevent that fraud, and
1035
00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:28.559
that we have been a country for two hundred and
1036
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:31.000
fifty years and this really hasn't been an issue until
1037
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:35.119
some of our Orange Dad presidents decided to complain about it.
1038
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:37.159
And a few of us really don't have a capacity
1039
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:43.239
to question anything coming out of that man's mouth. Um,
1040
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:48.239
it's when there is not a single question about the
1041
00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:52.840
twenty twenty four election, only for these people to come
1042
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.920
out of the woodwork and question the twenty twenty sixth
1043
00:58:57.920 --> 00:59:05.679
election because of republic lost in California. That's where I
1044
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:09.199
have no respect for it. The twenty twenty election was
1045
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:12.719
rigged because Trump lost, twenty four was fine, and then
1046
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:16.119
twenty six was rigged again. I do not respect you.
1047
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.920
You're not just asking questions. You're a baby and a
1048
00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:23.920
sore loser if you cannot accept the results of the
1049
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:28.119
election in California. The California election that was so rigged
1050
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:31.320
that apparently Steve Hilton was still able to get a
1051
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:36.559
Republican ticket for the governor's race, but of course Spencer
1052
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.000
Pratt wasn't able to win in LA. And I'm so
1053
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:42.280
thankful that Steve Hilton won, so that when he loses
1054
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.840
by more than twenty points. Maga can look incredibly dumb
1055
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:48.039
for having pitched a fit about this to begin with
1056
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:56.760
our esteemed Senator Ron Moscow Johnson, Ron the swamp Johnson, Ron,
1057
00:59:56.800 --> 01:00:00.639
I'm only going to serve two terms, Johnson to News
1058
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.760
Nation two days ago, to stoke these flames for the
1059
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.920
people that don't have a capacity to think for themselves.
1060
01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:10.840
And so of course I'm going to have to undress
1061
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.320
him now because i just have a problem. I have
1062
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:18.039
a clip that's available from social media.
1063
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:19.800
It's going to.
1064
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:24.119
Start the first fifty five to fifty seven seconds is
1065
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:26.679
going to be him on News Nation, and then you're
1066
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:29.960
gonna notice a terrible drop off in the audio quality.
1067
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.000
But I'm fairly certain I've listened to it to a
1068
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:37.159
cup for a couple times now, I'm fairly certain that
1069
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:39.000
you'll still be able to hear it. And he was
1070
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:44.440
being secretly recorded while talking about the giant quote fingers
1071
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:49.159
election fraud in twenty twenty. And we're gonna see how
1072
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:51.880
he talks about election fraud for the camera when he
1073
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:55.920
knows he's performing, versus when he's just being a human being.
1074
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:58.880
And let's see what you guys pick up on. Oh wait,
1075
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.000
you probably already know where this is going.
1076
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:05.639
There's never been evidence presented in any of these cases.
1077
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:09.039
Decide with the president when he speaks about this topic,
1078
01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:10.760
or would you rather that he skipping entirely.
1079
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:13.880
I mean, there was so much evidence of irregularities in
1080
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.320
the twenty twenty election, but all you have to do
1081
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:18.920
is say there's no evidence, there's no proof. There's all
1082
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.480
there are all kinds of irregulators that occur. I mean
1083
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:24.800
the fact that California, how many days after the election
1084
01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:26.360
still resort.
1085
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:28.880
But my point is there's never been anything proven on
1086
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:31.599
scale that would affect an election, whether it be in
1087
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:34.400
a national level or a big statewide like this. I
1088
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.840
understand there's a regularities there always are, but scale.
1089
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:40.480
That would impact I've never seen which is evidence. Yeah,
1090
01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:43.559
I mean people that do things covered up. But again,
1091
01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:46.239
I'm getting very tired of this. There is no evidence,
1092
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.000
there's no proof. There's tons of evidence, there's tons of irregularities.
1093
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.280
Just there's so much evidence, Senator, why not just present it.
1094
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.840
There's been multiple chances to do so, courts of law
1095
01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:55.360
and otherwise.
1096
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:01.079
People do and it's ignored. You don't Scoons, Fifty one
1097
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:07.519
thousand voters didn't vote for him candid. There's going obviously
1098
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:16.920
skewed about resent Okay persons Wiscotts, so listen sellectively. Republicans
1099
01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:19.639
got one point six sixty one million votes.
1100
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.840
One thousand more true good friend up lost by twenty thousand.
1101
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:25.719
Trunk got all the calder.
1102
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:28.639
Recumpanies ordered for Trump the way they ordered for the semi.
1103
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.159
Campass seventy would have one.
1104
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:30.960
He didn't.
1105
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.239
He didn't take fifty one thousand other pubs in scott.
1106
01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:34.559
That's right now.
1107
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:37.320
So that was a bit touch and go. Allow me
1108
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.679
to give you the spark Notes version of what was
1109
01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:42.719
just said right there. He stated that there were one
1110
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:47.000
points in twenty twenty in Wisconsin, one point six six
1111
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:51.079
one million votes went for Republicans across the board in
1112
01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:54.719
the state legislature. Uh, you know, different races, senators, races,
1113
01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:59.320
so on and so forth. Trump got fifty thousand less
1114
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:03.119
votes than that. He lost by twenty thousand. The reason
1115
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:06.119
he lost is because fifty thousand people who identified as
1116
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:08.719
Republicans who took the time to show up and vote,
1117
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:11.400
ultimately decided that he was a big enough piece of
1118
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:13.880
trash to not go and vote for him in twenty twenty.
1119
01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:16.920
But when Ron Johnson is on a regular camera, he's
1120
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:19.719
going to pretend that there are irregularities. But when he
1121
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:23.920
is not on camera, that's when he decides that he's
1122
01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:26.760
actually going to try and behave like a human being. Again,
1123
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:31.719
this is the problem with politics in general. You know what,
1124
01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:34.840
We should instill flock cameras around all politicians so that
1125
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.599
they're constantly surveilled, so that we can catch them when
1126
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:40.920
they're obviously saying the wrong thing. I'm pro big government,
1127
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:44.079
look at me in my big brain. But this is
1128
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:48.199
why we are still fighting about twenty twenty in twenty
1129
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:52.039
twenty six. And then Republicans want to say, why are
1130
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:56.480
people still bringing up the twenty twenty election? Why can't
1131
01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:58.880
they just let it go? Because they won't shut the
1132
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:01.199
hell up about it is the answer to that question.
1133
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:05.519
Until maga elected officials can say that the election wasn't rigged,
1134
01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:10.679
we cannot take you seriously as individuals. As someone that
1135
01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.599
knows all the ways to spent two and a half
1136
01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.559
years highlighting the ways in which the Democratic Party has
1137
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:24.760
failed us. Donald Trump lost in twenty twenty, Spencer Pratt
1138
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.000
lost last Tuesday, and it's not because of rigging. It's
1139
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:35.679
because The MAGA agenda is objectively trash. Guys, no one
1140
01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:39.639
likes it other than the diest of die hard magas.
1141
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:46.320
This is the reality, and if you've got the evidence,
1142
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:53.400
prove it. But you can't so it didn't happen. You're
1143
01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:57.639
just parroting something because you're embarrassed. Your orange dad president
1144
01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:00.559
lost to a guy that wasn't sure what year it was.
1145
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:05.440
And I get it. That is embarrassing, but it doesn't
1146
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.760
change reality, and it most certainly isn't going to force
1147
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:15.199
me to pretend that I live in a different reality.
1148
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:19.880
And Jimmy's trying to catch me. Jimmy, I don't know
1149
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:21.480
where you are, but I almost want to use a
1150
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.159
co host because you are just a mountain of good content.
1151
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:28.239
Play Hillary's comments from twenty sixteen stolen election might hold
1152
01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:32.360
more authenticity When Mandela Barnes comes on my show, do
1153
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.760
you know what I'm going to ask him, Jimmy, I'm
1154
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:37.000
gonna ask him if he's going to be willing to
1155
01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:40.039
accept the results of the election since he accused Donald
1156
01:05:40.079 --> 01:05:43.079
Trump and Russia of stealing the election in twenty sixteen
1157
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:46.400
and very rarely ever actually backs off of that claim.
1158
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.719
Because I'm not a hack unlike you. Thank you for listening.
1159
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:55.199
So when you see the way that Ron Johnson is
1160
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.880
willing to talk, he's gonna say yeah. One point sixty
1161
01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:01.280
sixty one million Republicans showed up voted in twenty twenty.
1162
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:03.840
Fifty thousand of them showed up and voted but didn't
1163
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.480
vote for Donald Trump. That's how he ended up losing.
1164
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:09.880
That should probably put everything moscow. Johnson has to say, right,
1165
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.440
let's put it all to bed. Nine two oh two
1166
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:17.280
eight one eleven fifty nine two oh two eight one
1167
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:21.800
eleven fifty. Prove me wrong. I need one of those signs.
1168
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:29.079
Prove me wrong. Oh my god, Jimmy, I'm about ready
1169
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:31.320
to mute you for the day. Buddy who was crying
1170
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:36.559
about Elon Musk's money but is awful quiet about Zuckerberg's money? Hey, uh,
1171
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.440
class other than Bruce Wayne, has anybody heard me say
1172
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.599
something positive about a billionaire?
1173
01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:44.039
Ever?
1174
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:47.920
Nine to two oh two eight one eleven fifty is
1175
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:53.480
all of my anti billionaire sentiment saved exclusively for Elon Musk?
1176
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:57.599
Where did big brain Jimmy come from? Nine two oh
1177
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:02.239
two eight one eleven fifty tim asking me remind me,
1178
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.760
wasn't Johnson part of the fake Elector scandal in twenty twenty.
1179
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:08.760
I know he likes to try and parse his words here,
1180
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:10.159
but that's just me.
1181
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:12.079
Um.
1182
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:16.840
Let's see here. This one's from Ralph Ben still a
1183
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:20.440
Trump supporter, not as much as previously, and not red Maga.
1184
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:22.360
If you're still a Trump supporter, I hate to break
1185
01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:25.079
it to your Ralph, but your MAGA will likely never
1186
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:29.239
vote Democrat. I'm a conservative quasi libertarian. Okay, there we go,
1187
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:31.199
there we go. I'm with you there on the end
1188
01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:33.679
of it, at least one hundred percent, in agreement with
1189
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:38.320
you against all forms of valans nh motto. I'm not
1190
01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:42.760
sure what that means. Live free or die a Philly
1191
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:46.920
boy in the Fox Cities. Right on, Ralph, I don't
1192
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:50.280
know how is a libertarian you can really support Donald Trump.
1193
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:51.920
I'll be real with you. I get why you can't
1194
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:54.639
support the Democrats. And by the way, to all the
1195
01:07:54.679 --> 01:07:58.920
libertarians listening, I'm gonna have a libertarian candidate for the
1196
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.079
sixth district of what Consin on my show a week
1197
01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:04.800
from today at nine thirty. More on that later, but
1198
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:07.079
I think she has an interesting platform that you guys
1199
01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.880
will be interested in hearing from.
1200
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:14.079
But I'm just gonna be real with you.
1201
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:16.479
If you're looking at what Donald Trump has done for
1202
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.159
the last eighteen months and you can't objectively look at
1203
01:08:19.159 --> 01:08:21.560
this and say, oh, no, we're trending in the wrong
1204
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:25.359
direction in every way except for number of Mexicans, and
1205
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:27.439
not to say that there's a right direction for that
1206
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:31.720
I'm saying in the eyes of some people, I just
1207
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.279
it just says to me that you're not looking at
1208
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:37.359
Trump critically. And if you can't look at him critically,
1209
01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:39.720
then that means you're part of the cult. It's no
1210
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:43.079
different than the people saying that Joe Biden was sharper
1211
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:45.880
than ever. I had one caller when Joe Biden was
1212
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.359
in office who, when I was saying that we needed
1213
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.640
a primary in the Democratic Party, was blocking the primary.
1214
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.680
He calls my show and says, if you have Tom Brady,
1215
01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:57.880
you don't go and look for a new quarterback on
1216
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.319
your bench, meaning to me that he either does doesn't
1217
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:02.600
know who Tom Brady is, or is clearly in a
1218
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:06.279
blue Maga cult. If you can't acknowledge that economically, we
1219
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:09.039
are worse in every metric than we were during the
1220
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:11.960
Biden administration, and Biden had to get us out of
1221
01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:16.800
a pandemic. Then I just you're not looking at this objectively.
1222
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:21.600
I'll be real, but that's at least my perspective on
1223
01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:26.239
the matter. What's this Tom says on the YouTube chat,
1224
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:28.880
and I apologize YouTube. I'm dealing with some issues here
1225
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:31.600
on this as well. I don't think the election is rigged,
1226
01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:34.600
but I think better transparency is how the new digital
1227
01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:38.000
and scan trines might ease skepticism. So I feel that
1228
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:40.640
Tom and I will never make any excuses for why
1229
01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:44.159
Chicago or California acts the way that they act in
1230
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.399
terms of how long it takes them to count votes,
1231
01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:50.439
like there absolutely needs to be some new changes made there.
1232
01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:55.359
But the only reason any skepticism exists is because Donald
1233
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:57.560
Trump's a whiny little baby. And I want to use
1234
01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.399
a different b word, but I have a feeling both
1235
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:02.239
the FCS and the TikTok algorithm don't want me to
1236
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.479
use it. But if Donald Trump were just a grown
1237
01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:08.159
ass man, there wouldn't be any questions about election integrity,
1238
01:10:08.159 --> 01:10:12.119
but unfortunately, he's a whiny little baby. Please insert the
1239
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:18.000
word that I want to say in that uh uh
1240
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:24.239
in that sentence there, But that's just me, of course, uh.
1241
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:26.920
Nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty. Here's what
1242
01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:29.279
we're gonna do. We're gonna go to break. There's a
1243
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.439
couple of them, Brian, what are you saying here? I'm
1244
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:34.319
rolling on the floor laughing. Nice, that's all I need.
1245
01:10:34.359 --> 01:10:36.800
I hope that's literal. I hope you're literally doing that,
1246
01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:40.960
all right? Nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty
1247
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:43.479
nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty.
1248
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.319
We'll put a bow on this conversation.
1249
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:47.720
On the other side, you're listening outside the box here
1250
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.319
on whby, all right, we're back outside the box, Ben
1251
01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:53.239
Komenos whby.
1252
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:54.399
Uh.
1253
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:58.840
Friendly reminder guys, seeing as I am the most American
1254
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:01.840
person you guys have ever heard on the radio, I
1255
01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:04.600
will be taking part in the Flag Day Parade on
1256
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:10.840
Saturday with our partners Pierce Manufacturing. We're gonna be handing
1257
01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:14.239
out flags to everybody is The parade kicks off on Saturday,
1258
01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:17.600
so hopefully you guys can stop by. Just so you know,
1259
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:21.319
there are flock cameras set up around Appleton, so please
1260
01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:24.199
be on your best behavior because Big Daddy Government and
1261
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:26.800
Jimmy and a handful of the magas that are super
1262
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:32.079
pro being surveiled all the time. M won it that
1263
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.199
way because they're nervous that you might do crimes someday,
1264
01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:38.319
so'd rather you just be in a perpetual state of surveillance.
1265
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.720
I will be there handing out flags though, being American
1266
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:43.640
AF which stands.
1267
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:44.079
For and fun.
1268
01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.319
So hopefully you can stop by and say hello. Although
1269
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:49.479
I might be driving the vehicle, but hopefully I can
1270
01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:51.680
find somebody else to drive the vehicle because I always
1271
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:54.720
like interacting with you guys shorter route as well, So
1272
01:11:54.760 --> 01:11:57.439
if you show up late, you're gonna miss it, and
1273
01:11:57.479 --> 01:11:59.479
that would just be devastating. At least you're gonna miss
1274
01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:02.199
the wh why vehicle. I'm sure there's other things that
1275
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:05.479
matter after that, not from my perspective, of course, So
1276
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:12.079
hopefully you can take part in the program there, all right.
1277
01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:14.119
And but so with that, I want to kind of
1278
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:17.520
put a bow on the conversation. And I got a
1279
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:19.920
call from Brian out in Fremont during the break. He said,
1280
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:22.199
the show's clicking on. All cylinders were hitting the fake
1281
01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:26.880
election fraud conspiracies were hitting the flock cameras. I see
1282
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:29.720
a lot of like minded people kind of coalescing around this,
1283
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:33.520
and like that's just it, Like it's a matter of
1284
01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:42.239
eliminating the hypocrisy surrounding these conversations, like the number of
1285
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:48.720
people who identify as libertarian being pro flock cameras doesn't
1286
01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:52.640
make any gd sense. It doesn't make any flipping sense
1287
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:57.560
that somebody can justify that in their head. It's me honestly,
1288
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:02.279
I'm coming from a state the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania
1289
01:13:02.479 --> 01:13:06.319
is essentially kneecapping public schools, And to me, that's just
1290
01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:14.479
like a very anti democratic democratic mindset. Um, it's a
1291
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:18.920
matter of consistency in these matters. And if you are
1292
01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:26.039
not willing to have the government invest in social programs,
1293
01:13:26.359 --> 01:13:30.359
the same social programs with a proven track record of
1294
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:34.720
benefiting the American population, then I sure as hell better
1295
01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:37.399
not see you advocating for the government to be engaged
1296
01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:40.880
in the perpetual surveillance state of the American population, like
1297
01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:44.079
pick and choose, and like the idea that like, I'm
1298
01:13:44.119 --> 01:13:46.600
against big government when they do all the good stuff,
1299
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:49.159
but I do want them to be in a perpetual
1300
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:53.039
state of monitoring us to catch bin laden. You know,
1301
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:56.640
like there eventually comes a time when it's just like,
1302
01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:00.680
what actually do you believe. How exactly do you justifies
1303
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:05.039
these justify the things that you think, because I think
1304
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:08.560
looking inward on these matters is the best way to
1305
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:12.000
grow and develop. As I've stated several times over, I
1306
01:14:12.199 --> 01:14:17.319
was an early twenty something advocating for trickle down economics
1307
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:21.520
because it made sense on paper, and then new information
1308
01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:24.600
made itself available to me and I was like, oh, well,
1309
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.640
this is a dumb economic system, and then I changed
1310
01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.720
my mind, and we all need to be willing to
1311
01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:32.800
do that. But it really feels like when it comes
1312
01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:36.159
to politics. South Park actually has a bit about this,
1313
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:40.479
where like being anti immigrant, they do it in terms
1314
01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:44.039
of Randy marsh is trying to start a house flipping company,
1315
01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:47.199
and he would always go into every house. He's like,
1316
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:49.840
what we're gonna do is we're gonna tear down this
1317
01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:52.840
load bearing pillar. That's always where he would start. And
1318
01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.000
then you realize that the load bearing pillar was a
1319
01:14:56.039 --> 01:15:00.399
metaphor for anti immigrant sentiment. And he's engaged in a
1320
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:04.239
conversation with one guy who's mad that Alexa is taking
1321
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:06.880
all the jobs of blue collar workers. I'm sure you
1322
01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:09.760
can figure out the metaphor there, and they talk about
1323
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:12.800
tearing down the load bearing pillar, and he's like, I
1324
01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:17.399
can't because it's central to my identity and I can't
1325
01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:20.279
stress enough. We've got to break free from that kind
1326
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:25.000
of thinking, because I am watching us willfully march into
1327
01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:30.239
a surveillance state that is going to persist. And once
1328
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:33.720
we take the toothpaste out of the tube, you cannot
1329
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:36.880
put it back in. They tell you, oh, it can
1330
01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:39.479
only do still frame images, and then you find out
1331
01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:43.199
they're working on fifteen second surveillance. Oh, don't worry, it's
1332
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.880
just license plates. And then you realize that there's plenty
1333
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:49.720
of technology out there, and it's already being utilized in
1334
01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:54.000
the Middle East to track facial recognition. I'm old enough
1335
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:57.520
to remember when Netflix and Hulu, when Amazon showed up
1336
01:15:57.560 --> 01:16:01.079
and said, look at all of us, we're here to
1337
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:05.479
make streaming movies and TV more affordable. Go ahead and
1338
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:08.600
cut the cord and become a streaming service person. And
1339
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.359
then that's what we all did. Anybody under seventy has
1340
01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:13.479
cut the cord at this point, and you know what,
1341
01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:17.039
it's basically as expensive as cable at this point. And
1342
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:20.520
now they've added ads, and now they've taken away features
1343
01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:22.560
that used to be available and told you you have
1344
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:25.199
to pay more in order to access these features that
1345
01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:29.680
were once free because once it became ubiquitous, once they
1346
01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:35.720
were able to undercharge everybody for the services that they
1347
01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:42.279
offer corner the market, much like Amazon. Once they have everybody,
1348
01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.960
that's when the crap starts. That's when they start treating
1349
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:50.680
you like crap. Not caring about these things. Right now,
1350
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:54.439
the only agenda is get the flock cameras up, because we.
1351
01:16:54.399 --> 01:16:59.000
Go to catch them Mexicans, but then it's going to
1352
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:02.079
be used in all of these negative ways that I
1353
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:09.119
think a lot of you are remaining willfully ignorant too.
1354
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:12.239
We need to wake up to what's taking place here.
1355
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:13.720
We have lived.
1356
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:16.520
As Kate Hancock Cook, who was on the program at
1357
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:19.039
nine point thirty, will be available on the app later.
1358
01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:24.039
As she mentioned during the program, crime has been declining
1359
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:31.159
steadily for forty years. We did not need flock cameras
1360
01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:37.479
to make that happen. So instead of rushing, just like
1361
01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:40.880
the big deck companies are trying to do with data centers,
1362
01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:44.600
which I think most of us can universally push back against, unless,
1363
01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:46.880
of course, Donald Trump tells us he likes them, in
1364
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:49.119
which case we're going to have another mountain, we need
1365
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:49.800
to climb again.
1366
01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:50.840
I'm sure.
1367
01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:59.479
It's the same principle, Cassidy says. I believe it was
1368
01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:01.880
Joseph Goebels. It was the first to say, if you're
1369
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.319
not doing anything wrong. I'm assuming the rest of that
1370
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:05.600
sentence is, you don't.
1371
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:06.039
Need to worry.
1372
01:18:06.319 --> 01:18:09.359
He said it, we said it during the Patriot Act,
1373
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:12.199
and we're hearing it now again. Do not let me
1374
01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.319
be the voice yelling into the abyss. I am going
1375
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:19.760
to use my platform to keep you posted and let
1376
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:23.079
you know the next time one of these meetings is
1377
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:26.279
going on, and I hope that there's a larger percentage
1378
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:28.640
of people the next time than there were this time,
1379
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:32.159
because apparently thirty six of us isn't enough. So next
1380
01:18:32.159 --> 01:18:35.000
time we're gonna show up with a thousand, and let's
1381
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:36.520
see how that ends up working.
1382
01:18:37.159 --> 01:18:38.840
I got to call it a show here today.
1383
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.880
I appreciate everybody listening and listening to me rant for
1384
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.399
the last two hours. I had an emotional day yesterday,
1385
01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:47.640
and I'm thankful that I have a platform that I am.
1386
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:48.279
Able to do this.
1387
01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:50.239
I have to get out of here. I will talk
1388
01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:52.560
to you guys tomorrow. Haley's up next. Follow me on
1389
01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:54.000
the socials outside the box.
1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.799
You're listening Outside the Box with Ben Komono's here on
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.119
Whby and Political Voices Network. Outside the Box is brought
3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.640
to you by Roush Plumbing and Remodeling. The plumbing and
4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.960
remodeling company the Fox Valley depends on you know, in
5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.480
an ideal world, I'd be starting the show off today
6
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:25.480
playing sounds of our senior US Senator Ron Johnson claiming
7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.559
that there was election fraud in California and then showing
8
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.440
you how he talks about election fraud when he doesn't
9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.640
realize he's being filmed to show you exactly how he's
10
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.560
shepherding some cattle into a certain line of thinking. And
11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.520
if we're lucky, I'm going to be able to still
12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.920
jump into that in the ten o'clock hour. But man,
13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.280
do I have some thoughts guys? Ooops, as I knock
14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.079
my camera off the screen. There, I have some thoughts
15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.960
for you guys about yesterday, And let me fill you
16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.880
in here on exactly what I have to say to
17
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.920
you guys today, because not all of you follow me
18
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.200
on socials and I understand that, so a little bit
19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.000
of a lead into what we're talking about. If you
20
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.000
didn't hear my promos, I was at an event yesterday
21
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:18.159
in Nina surrounding the concept of flock cameras. Quite a
22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.760
few members of the community, not just Nina, but all
23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.319
around the Fox Valley had their opinions on the matter.
24
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.040
We were joined by the older person of Nina, a
25
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.359
couple of council members, the chief of the Nina Police Share,
26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.120
Officer Olsen was there, and a handful of others as well.
27
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.719
Sitting at the front table listening to all of us talk.
28
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.120
Everyone who listens to this show. And I'm choosing my
29
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.439
words carefully here because thankfully I also have an evening
30
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.920
show and was I kind of just screamed at the
31
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.439
camera for an hour yesterday because I was incredibly frustrated
32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.120
with the way things played out yesterday. But I'd like
33
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.480
to kind of lay out why I'm concerned, and then
34
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.439
I want to talk about the greater public and I'd
35
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.960
like to highlight We will be joined by Kate Hancock Cook.
36
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.560
She is the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors District seven representative.
37
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.000
She was at the event as well. She's gonna be
38
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.879
calling into the program at nine thirty to talk about
39
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.039
her thoughts. She was one of the speakers as well,
40
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.360
I got up and spoke. Over twenty people stood up
41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.639
and spoke, and everybody was very respectful of one another's time.
42
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.759
And I have more thoughts about how people talked as well,
43
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.039
but allow me to just kind of get this all
44
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:41.319
out there first. We are, in my opinion, barreling towards
45
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.520
a type of surveillance state that I think is going
46
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.280
to be very difficult to put the toothpaste back in
47
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.960
the tube. On the other side of doing this, I
48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.680
have shared with you guys that our allies in the
49
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.759
Middle East use Flock Cameras is an Israeli company of course,
50
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.800
and partner with Pallenteer and use those two softwares to
51
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.400
monitor the entire Palestinian population and try and determine who
52
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.800
is going to be a thorn in the side of
53
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.759
the IDF before they actually do anything. And they use
54
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.120
these cameras and they use Pallenteer software in order to
55
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.479
coordinate this. Our government is talking about partnering with Palenteer.
56
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.360
And while flock cameras are not new, they are popping
57
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.319
up in locations not just Wisconsin, but specifically because that's
58
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.439
what matters to us in Wisconsin. They are doubling in number,
59
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.400
and they are being placed everywhere now. As the technology
60
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.879
stands right now, it can only take still framed photos.
61
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.120
But also, when streaming services were created, they were a
62
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.719
cheap alternative to cable that didn't have commercials or extra
63
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.080
apps that needed to be purchased. How's that working out
64
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.879
for all of us?
65
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.240
Now?
66
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.840
Reaganomics did not sink the economy overnight. It's been a
67
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.960
forty five year process to get to where we are.
68
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.720
But the fact of the matter is, you can see
69
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.439
the tea leaves, you can see the way things are starting,
70
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.079
and this is coming. And lord knows, I don't play
71
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.920
identity politics, but this is coming from a demographic that
72
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.279
has the least to worry about when it comes to
73
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.360
flock cameras. Maybe I am a bit in a unique
74
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.120
position because my career requires me to put my political
75
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.279
opinions out there every single day, and were I to
76
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.360
run a foul of the wrong government official, then all
77
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.199
of a sudden, I might find myself in a different scenario.
78
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.399
But we already know about the Minasha police officer who
79
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.839
was alleged to be stalking a random citizen. And the
80
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.600
only reason that this person was found out is because
81
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.519
she reported him to a separate police station. We already
82
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:07.199
know that Flock is sharing this data with ICE in
83
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.000
order to catch all the Mixekians. And I'm sure this
84
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.680
won't be used for the Watts later in life. I'm
85
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.360
sure that won't happen. There's no point in history where
86
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.519
government surveillance was used to catch brown people and then
87
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.040
was ultimately turned around on us. I can't think of
88
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.680
a single example of that ever happening. So there's no
89
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.240
reason to be nervous about that. But here's the worst part.
90
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.040
You can sit there and hear me lay that out there,
91
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.519
be like Ben, put the tinfoil down. You have no
92
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.040
idea what you're talking about. None of this stuff matters. Okay, fine,
93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.399
let's say I have no idea what I'm talking about.
94
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.639
Let's say that I am just fear mongering for the
95
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.240
sake of a political talk show. Then let's talk about
96
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.920
what actually was said and what happened last night. As
97
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.279
I mentioned, there were about I did a head count.
98
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.040
This is my own personal count. Could I have miscounted
99
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.519
by one or two? Maybe I counted thirty six people
100
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.959
in the audience when we sat down. The people upfront
101
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:13.079
even commented on how crowded the event was. They were like, man,
102
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.199
there's a lot more people than we are used to
103
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.360
having here this year does and then they emphasized, They
104
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.759
were like, you get five minutes to speak, and we
105
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.639
are going to stick to that five minutes very strictly
106
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.839
because we want to make sure everybody can get their
107
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.800
thoughts out there. And for the record, everybody did a
108
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.040
phenomenal job of doing that. I myself and plenty of
109
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.920
others even mentioned while they were speaking, I have more
110
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.600
to say, but given how many people are going to speak,
111
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.959
I have a feeling what I'm going to say is
112
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.279
going to be echoed by someone else. Over twenty people spoke,
113
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.319
and I'd argue there was very little repetition, very little
114
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.439
repeating of oneself. Everybody went up and had a different opinion,
115
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.319
and I wrote a couple down. I personally went up
116
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.279
and I quoted Benjaman Franklin's those who are willing to
117
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.439
sacrifice freedoms for security deserve neither, and I talked about
118
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.560
how I was raised in America that mocked an authoritarian
119
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.040
China for doing exactly what we are proposing with these
120
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.839
flock cameras. People went up and spoke about their experience
121
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.160
as survivors of abuse at the home and how these
122
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.120
block cameras could be used in a negative way through
123
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.079
their experience. We talked about how someone else I shouldn't
124
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.879
say we everybody was operating with independent thought and thinking.
125
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.040
Other people stood up and spoke about Flock Camera's claim
126
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.040
that the surveillance cameras has had end to end encryption. Now,
127
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.279
for those of you listening to me that don't know
128
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.279
what that means, that means that much like how signal
129
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.399
chats work, the company itself is unable to access your data.
130
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.399
So whatever you message in signal, the company signal is
131
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.879
not able to acquire. Flock has stated on the record
132
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.000
that they have end to end encryption and cannot access
133
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.040
the video that is recorded through those cameras, and there
134
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.360
are countless examples of Flock doing exactly that, so the
135
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.439
claims of end to end encryption are obvious. BS people
136
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.360
went up and talked about it from a sales perspective,
137
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.800
questioning whether or not RFPs AKA requests for proposals had
138
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.639
been made to several companies in order to compare Flock
139
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.519
versus other companies that do the same thing, and for
140
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.159
the record, just to make it abundantly clear, I am
141
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.600
not a harm reductionist in this matter. I'm not anti Flock,
142
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.240
specifically for Flock. I am anti over the top surveillance
143
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.600
in a town that absolutely does not need it. I'm
144
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.720
gonna be real with you, guys. I am coming from
145
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.639
a city where crime is infinitely more prevalent than anything
146
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.240
that is happening in the Fox Valley. And I would
147
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.000
never advocate for these cameras to go up in Pittsburgh,
148
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.720
let alone in a place like any of the cities
149
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.080
in the Fox Valley. People were saying, how is it
150
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:07.399
that the security failures are obvious, they're flagrant, they are proven,
151
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.799
and yet we still are interested in doing business with them?
152
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.559
And how many of us in the corporate world if
153
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.200
every time you turned my show on fifteen percent of
154
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.360
the time I was spreading misinformation, how long would it
155
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.960
take some of you before you realize that there's probably
156
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.600
better programming out there. Although I'd probably have more magas
157
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:35.240
listening to me. The list goes on and on, twenty
158
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:40.440
plus people talking twenty plus unique attitudes. And I can
159
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.080
say this with all the humility on the planet, which
160
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.799
that sentence in and of itself is counterintuitive, But I
161
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.759
think I'm a very good public speaker. I think speaking
162
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.000
in public is a strength that I have, and I
163
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.720
would argue, if you're a regular listener, you would probably
164
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.480
agree with that sentiment. I was a and even in
165
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.279
the top half of people that were talking yesterday, people
166
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.320
were so well spoken, they were so well versed. They
167
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.360
knew their facts, they knew what they were talking about.
168
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:18.399
They were coming out there with statistics and examples of
169
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.759
failings and talking about other places in the Fox Valley
170
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.840
like Oshkosh who have ended their contract with Fluck and
171
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.559
so many people who took time out of their Tuesday
172
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.480
afternoon to go and speak out against an obvious example
173
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.000
of government overreach. And then our time to speak was done,
174
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.000
and it was time to listen to the police chief,
175
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.240
and it was time to listen to the elected officials.
176
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.840
The elected officials were across the spectrum, some of them.
177
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.120
One of them said, where does it stop if we
178
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.919
take these cameras down? What other cameras are we going
179
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.759
to take down? If anybody was talking about taking cameras
180
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:07.240
down from private lands, they weren't. They're talking about the
181
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.360
public lands where most of us are not consenting to this.
182
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.600
Other elected officials talked about the threats to protesters that
183
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.679
could exist, and that's absolutely real. And when I say protesters,
184
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.440
some of you are thinking, yeah, well, black lives Matter
185
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.159
and PIFA need to get cracked down. I will remember
186
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.320
that the next time you want to do an anti
187
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.919
VAXX protest and these cameras are against you, and I'll say,
188
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.960
n your safety and security outweighs all, because apparently that's
189
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.120
the way that you feel about these kind of things.
190
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:39.320
And when the.
191
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:44.919
Police chief spoke, he said that the thirty plus of
192
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.480
us over thirty five, according to my count, represent a
193
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.679
fraction of a fraction of a percent of the community
194
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.120
of Nina, and that nothing we said was going to
195
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:02.080
sway people's opinions. Argue, if I had to guess, this
196
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:09.240
is complete speculation. The max capacity of that room was
197
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:14.120
probably eighty people. We got close to filling half of that.
198
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.720
Where were so many people there that they felt a
199
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:22.320
need to comment on how many people were in that room,
200
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.279
saying that it was so out of the ordinary for
201
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.000
that many people to be there. And the police chief said,
202
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.480
you're a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of
203
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.960
a percent of the people who are in Nina and
204
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.759
that this is not swaying their opinion. And from some perspective,
205
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.519
there were men in this room, there were women in
206
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.840
this room. There were non binary people in this room.
207
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.960
I was chatting with a man named Jordan who was
208
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.519
wearing a Fox Valley Libertarian shirt, and I'm sitting there
209
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.440
as a tax the rich progressive. There were Democrats there,
210
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.679
there were Republicans. There fill in the blank of the
211
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:11.799
identity group, gen X, Boomers, gen Z, millennials. Everybody was represented.
212
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:18.039
One person had a positive block story. Everybody else was frustrated.
213
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.759
And the mayor of Nina took to the camera to
214
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.960
refer to the community that was there as an echo chamber.
215
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.240
We were not an echo chamber. We were the most diverse,
216
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.120
although not literally in terms of diversity, it was one
217
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:39.120
hundred percent whatt but we were an incredibly diverse community
218
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:45.039
of what people in that room with taking dozens of
219
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.159
different perspectives about our frustration. The idea that anything that
220
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.360
took place in that room could be misconstrued as an
221
00:13:54.399 --> 00:14:00.480
echo chamber means that people were not listening. We're gonna
222
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.000
have an elected official on the program at nine point
223
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.279
thirty to talk about this more. We have our first
224
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.720
call today. We're going to get that call in. Anybody
225
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.879
else wants to chime in nine to two oh two
226
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.639
eight one eleven fifty nine two oh two eight one
227
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.639
eleven fifty, and we will continue this conversation be on
228
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.200
the call as well. But I want you guys to
229
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.559
chime in, especially anyone listening to me who was at
230
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.080
that event. I would love to hear from you. Nine
231
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.480
to two oh two eight one eleven fifty. Hello, you're
232
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:26.480
on outside the box.
233
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.039
Hey, good morning, Vent, It's Ben.
234
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:31.000
Hey, what's up man?
235
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.440
Happy to about it? Ah, not much. Just as far
236
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.600
as like the vaccine thing that you were talking about,
237
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.559
I don't recall there being any protests for anti vaccine.
238
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.240
I do recall people going back to work or trying
239
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.000
to get together in prayer. But they were quickly arrested
240
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.799
and fined and thrown in jail.
241
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.799
That's normal, that's normal protest behavior. I'm saying they weren't
242
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.559
monitored after the fact, and if I remember correctly, didn't
243
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.879
a bunch of truckers literally block the border between Canada
244
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.639
and America for a while, like trying to stop any
245
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.399
kind of commerce because they were that's a protest. So like,
246
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.639
like that stuff happened, and like and for.
247
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.559
The record, they have their bank accounts seized. I'm pretty
248
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.200
sure the truck drivers got their bath's accounts seized.
249
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.000
Right, Ben. You understand I'm arguing against that. Right.
250
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:25.039
I realized that you kind of resorted to tribalism the
251
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.480
last week or so. But you understand I don't want
252
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.200
this to happen.
253
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.000
Correct, Well, yes I do. Ben. I know where your
254
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.519
heart is, and I think you know where my heart
255
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.240
is too.
256
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.000
You know.
257
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.639
My frustration comes with you cannot ask any questions. These
258
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.960
are baseless. Everything is baseless. This is you know, this
259
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.559
is the way it is, and there's been no investigation
260
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.039
on nothing. We are a nation full of sinners. We
261
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.200
agree that there's Metacare fraud. We agree that there's healthcare fraud.
262
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.159
We agree that there's fraud across the board. People lie
263
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.480
every day of the week. But I swear all our
264
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.879
elections are free and safe.
265
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.480
All right, Ben, this isn't what I'm talking about. But
266
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.759
just to put this to bed right now, you call
267
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.879
this show multiple times a week. Donald Trump won the
268
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.320
election in twenty twenty four in the words election fraud
269
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.960
have not left your mouth in a year and a half,
270
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.240
and now that MAGA lost, you're talking about election fraud again.
271
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.840
It's not a matter of asking questions. It's that you
272
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.679
get mad every time MAGA loses and pretends there's a
273
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:31.559
conspiracy behind nobody liking this obviously trash agenda. That's your problem.
274
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.600
It's not that you're not allowed to ask questions. It's
275
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.960
that you're not allowed to ask questions only when your
276
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.519
team loses. I'm not talking about election fraud right now.
277
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.559
Let's stay focused. Let's stay focused, shall we. Justin says
278
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.720
there are big movements against flock. I would implore people
279
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.679
to go to dflock dot org and see the map
280
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.039
of cameras. Had I went there yesterday and had I
281
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.679
went yesterday and seen you, I meant to also show
282
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.080
you this.
283
00:16:58.480 --> 00:16:59.559
I'll have to look at that more.
284
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.599
Appreciate that we got a texter here, Tim Ben. When
285
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.079
the Nina police chief said that you represent a fraction
286
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.119
of a fraction of the people of Nina, he means
287
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.079
you're a fraction of the money John Bergstrom runs Nina,
288
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.599
the mayor, the police. Okay, well, I'll have to look
289
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:21.599
into that more. But nevertheless, you're exactly right. And so
290
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.799
to me when he says thirty six people showing up
291
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.400
is a fraction of a fraction of a community, and
292
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.279
everybody shows up well versed in the topic and willing
293
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.960
to actually have a real conversation about this. No one
294
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:39.240
was there saying defund the police. Nobody was there calling
295
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:43.240
cops bad names. I'd argue more than half the people said, actually,
296
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:49.920
I've had nothing but positive interactions with the Nina police.
297
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.519
It was an incredibly positive attitude the entire time. And
298
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.240
what that says to me when it's referred to as
299
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.319
an echo chamber, despite the fact that it was such
300
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.759
a diverse community of opinions, When you're called a fraction
301
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.119
of a fraction of the community, when you are told, wow,
302
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.640
this is such a large number of people that showed up,
303
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.000
it says to me that nothing the community did yesterday
304
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.759
was going to break through what the elected officials and
305
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:24.720
the police officers were going to do. These people work
306
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.519
for us, and I think it's time that they start
307
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.440
to remember that that is the case, because we ultimately
308
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.480
get to make these decisions and they are acting like
309
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.720
we're lucky that they are doing this. DSL says in
310
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.480
all fairness, you loved mass surveillance when it was catching?
311
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.480
When did I love it? DSL you point to me
312
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.640
the receipts. I know you have a caricature of me
313
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.480
in your head. You find me loving that, and you
314
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.759
let me know where you find that audio from, because
315
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.160
it's only in your mind. Cassandra says, Wow, Ben must
316
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.920
have taken recent mega directive seriously. Yeah, I just think
317
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.359
nor at this time we got one here no name?
318
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.319
Um is it common for the police chief to belittle
319
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.160
the opinions of the people at the meeting? I have
320
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.960
no idea. I'm gonna be real with you. I don't
321
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.519
I'm not gonna say I've never gone to these but
322
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.680
the fact of the matter is it doesn't feel like
323
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.319
a normal thing. I see I have more texts coming in,
324
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.400
but I believe my guest is calling in. So here's
325
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.319
what we're gonna do. One two, we got a less
326
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.359
than three minute break. We're gonna throw to a three
327
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:30.319
minute break. I'm gonna be speaking off the air, and
328
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.759
then we're gonna come back. As I mentioned at the
329
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.920
top of the segment, Kate Hancock Cook Winnebago County Board
330
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:39.200
of Supervisors District seven, was it? The meeting spoke at
331
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.200
the meeting is going to share her thoughts on the
332
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.279
matter as well, and we're gonna jump into that. On
333
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.359
the other side, you're listening to Outside the Box with
334
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.759
Ben Commonos here on whby all right, we're back the
335
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.079
afore mentioned Kate Hancock Cook patially waiting on hold with
336
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.759
me here. Thank you for joining me today, Kate.
337
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.119
How are you?
338
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.400
It's fabulous. It's a beautiful day of Nina, Wisconsin.
339
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.319
Yeah, yes, that it is, although we are expected just
340
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.839
atrocious storms later on, but I feel that nevertheless, Look,
341
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.960
we're we're about what fourteen fifteen hours removed from this
342
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.240
meeting that you and I both happened to be attending
343
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.240
here first time I think you and I have ever
344
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.960
interacted in person before here, and so I just kind
345
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.960
of wanted to tee you up. We spoke a little
346
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.640
bit off the air here, but I want to get
347
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.920
your thoughts on the matter, what you thought about the
348
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000
number of people that showed up and what you uh
349
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.079
and just the way people carried themselves, and then your
350
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.960
just general thoughts to the reaction to that, to that crowd.
351
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.839
Okay, I just want to clarify. I am an elected
352
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.920
member of the Winnebago County Board and I represent a
353
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.720
couple of districts in Nina. I'm also a member of
354
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.000
a Newton, the Park and Rec Commission, and the Planning
355
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.759
Commission in Nina. I was on the Sustainability Committee in
356
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.839
Nina since two thousand and seven. So I've been interacting
357
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:01.319
as a civilian or a memory a citizen member for
358
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.759
a number of years in committees, and I want to
359
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:09.799
clarify for people that Commissions Chairman Scott Weber did a
360
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.720
great job last night managing what happens in a committee meeting.
361
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.440
Leterally stated what you can speak when we could speak
362
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.880
as members of the public, and that afterwards he will
363
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:25.839
not be able to address the committee directly. So I
364
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.359
think that that really went well and he managed that well.
365
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:33.319
I want to emphasize to everybody stick with it. You've
366
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.279
got to keep going. You've got to keep going to
367
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.960
the city Council. You've got to talk to people at
368
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.640
all the committee levels you can to keep this in
369
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.640
front of them, otherwise they thirty people showed up, great,
370
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:48.720
Oh yeah, six months from now, they're going to forget.
371
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.039
I thought I was just going to go and say
372
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.480
I'm a citizen and I'm against block cameras, but I
373
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.680
didn't really give five whole minutes. That's pretty exciting. I
374
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.519
thought that the person who spoke before me, who had
375
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.799
hand out folks, this guy was totally prepared, did an
376
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.119
excellent job highlighting the challenges and inconsistencies that Flock has
377
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:16.599
continued to present. I thought that all of the citizens
378
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.720
who spoke had articulate and interesting and as Youth pointed out,
379
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:24.279
diverse things to say. I also felt that members of
380
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.720
the committee had some interesting and diverse things to say.
381
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.000
And I think that that combination that you cited earlier,
382
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.960
it was across the board. There are people in there
383
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.440
in that meeting room I knew I would never agree
384
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.759
with on anything else politically, but we agreed on this thing.
385
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.599
It was very very interesting to me. I want to
386
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:49.880
highlight that it was shown by the police chief that
387
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.319
was up the whole time we were talking. I think
388
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.559
was a presentation taken directly from Flock with the Flock
389
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:58.640
emblem in the corner, and it said the future of policing,
390
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.319
And I thought that was very interesting foreshadowing on what
391
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.519
the police chief is going to say, also understand that
392
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:13.160
they can't make a policy decision instantaneously, but they could
393
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.319
make it faster than at twenty twenty eight when the
394
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.640
contract runs out. I think that the position that the
395
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:24.519
police chief took that policing was being made easier using
396
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.119
Flock cameras is interesting, but it's simply a cost benefit
397
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.359
analysis that wasn't raised. This is a cost tire more
398
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.400
police officers or use these people these cameras and then
399
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.160
not know what's happening to the data. And that's the
400
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.839
biggest concern. We don't know where the data is going.
401
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.599
I think that the police chief's position that Flock tells
402
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.079
me it's fine, it's going nowhere, We're all good, is
403
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.519
a little disingenuous, and I think that we need to
404
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.240
poke at that a little bit more. Obviously not online,
405
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.759
and that The other thing that I wanted to highlight
406
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.599
is they talk about how they get rid of the
407
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.559
data after thirty days, but that doesn't mean Flock hasn't
408
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.440
already pulled all the metadata they want out of that information,
409
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.799
and they have it stored somewhere else, and we don't know.
410
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.119
We know that that's happened in instances in the past
411
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.880
relative to ice. And the last thing I'll highlight, because
412
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.160
I have a lot to say, is that the stories
413
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.640
that the police chief raised, the anecdotes about where this
414
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.839
information had been used is great, and we are all
415
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.720
taught in public speaking that stories are very compelling. Use
416
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.640
a story. I'm a retired scientist. I want data, and
417
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.200
there was no data, so there was no timeframe for
418
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.839
how long it had taken for these stories to occur.
419
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.519
Was it a number like eight and four years or
420
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.839
eight and one year, We don't know. We also don't
421
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.559
have any overall context for how much crime normally occurs
422
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:53.480
in Nina. It wasn't cited that this was two percent
423
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.799
of the crimes in Nina we're solved using flock cameras
424
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.640
or twenty seven percent. That would be important for us
425
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:03.640
to understand terms of how we value that that data. So, okay,
426
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:04.279
I'll shut up now.
427
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.319
Any Well, I thought you were just citing some great information.
428
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.519
We actually have a texter who said, I haven't done
429
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.000
a ton of research on them, but I'm also interested
430
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.400
in the benefits. And I think what you're highlighting there
431
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.640
is is that you know, there's what's to say, and
432
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.160
it's something about statistics and lies. But I'm blanking on
433
00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.880
the actual numbers here. But as you and I kind
434
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.200
of chatted about off the air, and it's a conversation
435
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.720
that I have regularly on this show, like for sake
436
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:36.119
of argument, crime hit a small peak in twenty twenty
437
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.200
during lockdowns and kind of maintained between twenty twenty and
438
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.640
twenty twenty two, and has been on a very precipitous
439
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.279
decline since twenty twenty two. And in twenty twenty six,
440
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.960
people say, oh, look, how great all of these policies
441
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.000
are that we're just enacted, when in reality, it is
442
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:57.240
just reflecting a trend that we were on even prior
443
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.839
to the policies being enacted, and you kind of view
444
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.240
this from even a more macro scale than that, even
445
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:05.119
kind of going back several decades.
446
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.240
Yeah, I was looking at the data before I went
447
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.279
to the meeting, just to clarify, because it's sometimes you know,
448
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.240
there's what we call in statistics, signals versus noise, Right,
449
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.160
you don't know if what's happening is just variation or
450
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.759
is it the actual thing that you did that's causing
451
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.960
that change, And so it's hard, as the chief did
452
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.759
point out, this has only been a couple of years
453
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.160
of data. It's hard to know if the effect is real,
454
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.279
but we do know that we've seen an ongoing decrease
455
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.279
in crime overall for the last forty years. I would
456
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.519
recommend your listeners go to our world in data and
457
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.680
look up crime statistics for the United States for the
458
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.799
last fifty years, and we see declines in everything, and
459
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:47.880
so our guess our policing is getting better, and that
460
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:53.039
it's getting better. Before FLOCK showed up, maybe the other
461
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.480
thing that we were talking about is that and your
462
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.400
person who texted in there, As far as I can see,
463
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.240
there are no studies that show that flock is effective
464
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:09.759
other than studies that we're backed by FLOCK. So it's
465
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:13.200
important to note that the other thing is this overwhelming
466
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.440
set of so that the police chief said that he
467
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.400
does share with this conglomeration of two hundred and fifty
468
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.680
city police departments. Then, as somebody pointed out, very validly,
469
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:25.680
well how do we know what happens to that data
470
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.880
in those police departments? We don't know, We don't have
471
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.279
you know, and we have this sort of a well
472
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.559
we'll call it a gentleman's agreement that they're all going
473
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.480
to treat the data confidentially and all that kind of stuff.
474
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.640
And I think we're in an era where gentlemen's agreements
475
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.880
no longer count. So I'm concerned about that security. Pardon me,
476
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.680
I'll hang that up.
477
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:47.480
Oh, no worries. Yeah.
478
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.519
And I think a lot of the consternation Kate, we're
479
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:56.000
speaking with Kate Hancock Cook here Winnebago County Board of Supervisors,
480
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.000
District seven. I think a lot of the consternation stems
481
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.599
from the fact that I would say, say at least
482
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.240
a half a dozen different people were highlighting the very
483
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:08.240
obvious lies that Flock was caught in when talking about
484
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.279
what they do with the data with their end to
485
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.200
end encryption. We obviously have the situation in Oshkosh surrounding
486
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.440
heap maps that we've talked about on this show ad
487
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:19.400
nauseum when that was going on a couple months ago,
488
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.720
and blanking on the exact timeframe that it was now
489
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.039
because it just feels like one long day these days.
490
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.000
But I think there's a broken trust. And I think
491
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.640
it was mentioned at the meeting yesterday that if you,
492
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.200
as an individual were working with a company and had
493
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.640
your chust broken this many times it'd be a cold
494
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.400
day in hell before you continued working with them. And
495
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.759
it kind of feels like that's where a lot of
496
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.119
this frustration. Not that a lot of the people in
497
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.599
that room would have been okay with a different company,
498
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:51.200
but this company obviously has trouble really letting us know
499
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.480
what's going on behind the scenes, and that that's provable,
500
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.519
that's not really a that's not a conspiracy at this point.
501
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.240
Yeah, And I think that that's true, and that was
502
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:05.359
interesting in that again, the police chief did cite them.
503
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.759
If you go back and watch the meeting. Oh and
504
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.160
the meeting was of the Public Safety Commission for the
505
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.920
City of Nina. So those are citizen members and council
506
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.240
members who are on that commission and they meet on
507
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.079
I think a bi monthly basis. I serve on the
508
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.400
Judiciary and Public Safety Committee for the county Winnebago County.
509
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:28.079
Winnebago County has twenty flock cameras. And I think that, oh, no,
510
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.519
I lost my train of thought relative to the issues
511
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.880
about the lying. But I think that the challenge for
512
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.240
Chief Olsen was he cited that he called the FBI
513
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:39.680
to see if they could access the data. Well, they
514
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:43.440
probably could if they were granted that through ICE, through
515
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:45.920
the Department of Homeland Security, because they don't seem to
516
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:49.359
have any trouble citing this using this data, and there's
517
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.000
been instances in numerous cities across the United States. Dayton,
518
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.720
Ohio surprisingly cut off their flock cameras this year or
519
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.359
late last year because they found out that it was
520
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:01.559
in Dayton, Ohio. Doesn't seem to be a hot bed
521
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:06.039
of liberal thinking. But they were concerned about but that
522
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.440
the fact that the data was being being used for
523
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:10.880
purposes your police department hadn't authorized.
524
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.440
Yeah, it's a really interesting conversation. For the record, for
525
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.359
everybody listening. This event was last night. I will be
526
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.240
reaching out to a chief of police, Olsen with Nina
527
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:24.559
to see if he wants to come on the program here.
528
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.279
But Kate, before I let you go, before we wrap
529
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.160
up this segment here, do you have any other thoughts?
530
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.599
I do think I appreciate you kind of sharing the
531
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.799
stick with it attitude. That was my thought when I
532
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.920
heard people talking about moratoriums, and I was like, all
533
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.759
that's going to happen is people are going to forget
534
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:41.920
about this and be right back in the frying pan
535
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.680
in twelve months or whatever the situation is. And so
536
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.000
I guess I opened the floor for you. Any last
537
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:50.400
comments before we wrap.
538
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:55.319
Up, I just again, I would reinforce that, and being
539
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.119
a feminist, I just want to remind you everybody that
540
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.200
suffrage took seventy three years, so we need to have
541
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.759
more patients than our current age yet generally allows us
542
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.880
to have. But I would say that being making sure
543
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.960
that you stick with this people Listen, if people keep
544
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.319
showing up and go to your county board, go to
545
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:16.599
your any committee meeting that might have some influence on
546
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:19.960
flat cameras, the police department, all of that stuff, stick
547
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.240
with it because it's important for them to understand that
548
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.799
we are more than just a fraction of a fraction
549
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.400
of a fraction.
550
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:28.839
Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. Well, I know
551
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:30.880
I said that was my last question. But do you
552
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:35.119
know where where can somebody watch the recording of the video.
553
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.680
Is there a spot where they can go and check
554
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:37.119
that out?
555
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.720
My guest is I haven't done this personally, but I'm
556
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.359
sure that they're on that They're connected to the City
557
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.240
of Nina website somehow, so you can contact the city
558
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:49.200
clerk and Nina and find out, or you can just
559
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:54.000
google a city of Nina recordings and probably find it there.
560
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:55.359
If I find out, I'll text.
561
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.640
You the info.
562
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.640
Wonderful looking forward to that. Thank you very much for
563
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.240
joining us, Kate, and I'm sure we'll have you on again.
564
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:03.680
This is not the last time we'll be dealing with this,
565
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.000
I'm sure, so thank you for being here.
566
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:07.839
Bye.
567
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.319
All right, guys, plenty of you are text and we're
568
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:12.519
gonna get all these texts in on the other side
569
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:14.440
of the break, So everybody stay where you are. We're
570
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.119
gonna keep the conversation rolling. You're listening to Outside the
571
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.400
Box with Ben Komonos here on Whby. I saw one
572
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.640
of my people watching on TikTok say something about small
573
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.559
government Republicans, and I think we're gonna have to stop
574
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:29.720
with this small government Republican thing. All they want, the
575
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:33.160
only thing Republicans are small government about is they want
576
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:36.160
all of their money to go to Elon Musk. They
577
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.960
want you to know what you're doing with your with
578
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.440
your gender of affirmation surgeries. They want to know where
579
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.119
the Mexicians are coming from.
580
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.880
They want to know.
581
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.759
What you're talking about in your personal life. Republicans are
582
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:51.480
fine with all of this mass surveillance. It's quite literally,
583
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.599
we are reliving the two thousands again, and the only
584
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:58.680
difference is we have all the answers to the bleep
585
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.599
in tech test time. The Patriot Act was passed in
586
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:08.880
the late two thousands, and while MAGA didn't exist, someone's
587
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:12.839
asking nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty nine
588
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.039
two oh two, eight one eleven fifty come on the
589
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:22.440
show try and push back U Republicans. MAGA wasn't a
590
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.279
thing when the Patriot Act passed, but the equivalent of MAGA.
591
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:29.880
Republicans were the people saying, what's the big deal about
592
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.960
the Patriot Act? As long as you're not committing any crimes,
593
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:36.440
it doesn't matter. What matters about surveillance, it doesn't matter.
594
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.680
Look at me, I'm big brained. And those same magas
595
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.319
are the people saying, what can you believe the government
596
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.400
spying on us through our emails and text messages? Yes
597
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.359
we can, MAGA, we told you in the early two thousands,
598
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.279
and you're pretending now like this is something that just happened.
599
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.519
So how about we skip that fifteen year period where
600
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.079
you are highlighted to not know what you're talking about,
601
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.640
and we just jumped to the point where you realize
602
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.720
that these flock cameras are going to be used in
603
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:07.640
a negative capacity. I cannot stress enough. In Israel, they
604
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.480
use it to determine who is going to be hamas
605
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.519
before they even do anything, and then they go and
606
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.119
arrest them. Now, some of you are listening to me
607
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:21.800
say that and think, good, we gotta catch them terrorists, until,
608
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.679
of course, the terrorists are labeled as the people that
609
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:30.559
don't want to wear masks during a pandemic. So you
610
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.920
tell me nine two oh two, eight, one eleven point fifty,
611
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:39.880
learn the numbers, or stop messaging me. Please you tell
612
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:46.960
me what the difference is, because once it's aimed at you,
613
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.360
you all of a sudden will go hair on fire
614
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.400
and blame President Gavin Newsom or whoever the hell it
615
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.840
is for the government overreach. Meanwhile, you are the exact
616
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:59.800
people who are championing this right now, and I promise
617
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:02.960
you so. While I am frustrated about it, and I
618
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:06.119
hate the fact that it is happening to any MAGA
619
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.000
that has to complain about what it is that they
620
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:12.760
are going to be dealing with with surveillance. After the fact,
621
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.000
I will be mocking you to your face. I will
622
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:19.159
not take your claims seriously at all, much like I
623
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.239
do not take Ben's claims of election fraud seriously. You
624
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.599
will actively be mocked if you try and complain about
625
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.800
this once this gets instituted. Now I'm gonna run through
626
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:37.000
my text messages here. Phil says, in a public meeting
627
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.440
such as the flock meeting last night and Nina, which
628
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.599
brought in approximately forty people, represents a fraction of a
629
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:45.440
fraction of our city officials, and the room only holds
630
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.159
sixty people, why would it even matter to hold these
631
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:52.079
listening events. That's exactly my point. There was no amount
632
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:58.079
of a pushback that was actually going to change these
633
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.800
people's minds. And that's the frustrating part about all of this.
634
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.079
Brian says, So they made the decision, you mean, against
635
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.800
the public. I can't think of that ever happening before
636
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.639
approved data centers, corporate building projects with tax credits, public
637
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:17.880
building projects. As your guest points out, if you don't
638
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.440
show up, they'll do what they want. And Brian, don't
639
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:24.840
think that this data center conversation isn't absolutely tied to
640
00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:30.840
the flock cameras it's all tied together. We are slowly
641
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.599
being shepherded into a hyper surveilled state. The exact crap
642
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.800
people used to make fun of China for in the
643
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.280
nineties is the stuff that a certain population MAGA is
644
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.079
championing right now. And for the record, when Donald Trump
645
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:51.199
gets obliterated in twenty six and eventually loses in twenty
646
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:54.480
eight and the Democrat has control of this, something tells
647
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:57.079
me MAGA will all of a sudden realize that government
648
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.440
surveillance is bad and liberals will think the good guys
649
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:03.519
have the control of the rains again, mark my words.
650
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.360
That's where this is ultimately headed. So how about we
651
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.199
just skipped to the part where we all jump on
652
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:13.239
the bandwagon and admit I'm right. We got one person
653
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:17.519
who was there, Carla. My favorite part of the meeting
654
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.400
last night was when Chief Aaron Olsen said he didn't
655
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:23.519
know if it was true that Appleton PD caught the
656
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:27.840
Manasha PDE officer staking his ex stalking his ex by
657
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.239
using flock cameras while at home and off duty, when
658
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.599
it has been reported and in court records that it
659
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.960
was Appleton. After the woman reported that she thought that
660
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.960
that was happening Nina still shares their flock info with Manasha.
661
00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.639
Very interesting stuff there, justin saying, if there's a meeting
662
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.000
in Grand Shooter Appleton, I may just have to go.
663
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.199
But the only way I knew about this was your show.
664
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.079
I'm not on social media, so I'm unaware of local events.
665
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.840
And I'll be honest. It was a local activist group,
666
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.079
Sister Jones, which is local to Appleton, which got it
667
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.960
on my radar. Otherwise I wouldn't have been there either.
668
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:04.360
But I'm gonna do my best to kind of provide
669
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.159
you guys with that information as it as it's made
670
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.960
available to me. But it's not like I have some
671
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.719
kind of secret calendar or anything like that, because again,
672
00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:18.519
they'd prefer you just didn't show up, right. So it's
673
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:20.960
so funny. I got a random TikToker saying that I
674
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.320
have the capacity to block him just because he can't
675
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.239
type simple numbers into his phone, and it's like it's
676
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:29.880
somewhat distracting trying to do this show. But this guy, God,
677
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.440
don't eat the crayons, Bud. And then we got a
678
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:39.920
bunch of big government Republicans jumping into the conversation we
679
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.880
are being recorded and it's becoming more commonplace than not
680
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:47.000
being recorded at almost every home you go through a
681
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.159
ring a ring blink system, et cetera, not only outside
682
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.800
of homes, but inside of people's homes. This is a
683
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.000
strange and interesting topic of being reported recorded because it
684
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.480
makes me really think about all the places society is
685
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.719
recorded exactly. It's something referred to as surveillance creep. Ronald
686
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:08.920
Reagan didn't get nominated or elected do trickle down economics,
687
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.760
and the entire middle class collapsed in on itself. Ronald
688
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:17.000
Reagan enacted trickle down economics, nobody ruled it back for
689
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.159
fifty years, and the middle class was slowly cannibalized, ultimately
690
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:26.280
resulting in the shrinking and struggling affordability crisis that we
691
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.719
have today. This stuff doesn't happen overnight. It happened slowly.
692
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:31.519
I said.
693
00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.079
The irony of so many people going to that meeting
694
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:37.400
to complain about being surveilled by cameras, only to go
695
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:41.639
on social media and then complain about flock cameras, that's
696
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.800
not lost on me. But the principle still holds that
697
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.840
we need to take this stuff seriously. We got sixty seconds.
698
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.159
I'm getting my first call. We got plenty of texts.
699
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.199
Make a quick clo. You're an outside the box.
700
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:54.480
Oh hey, benni's Carla.
701
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:56.320
I'm just calling to make sure that the phone lines
702
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.039
do in fact work. That's all.
703
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.280
Thanks by Yeah, thank you, Carla. I appreciate that very much.
704
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:04.599
It's almost like the people that can't figure out how
705
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:06.599
to get on this show are too scared to call
706
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.480
in and try and make a point because they realized
707
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.039
they might be jumping into the deep end. Jimmy says,
708
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.960
one hundred percent of crime is unacceptable. How's that for data?
709
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.199
Great point, Jimmy, I take you very seriously as an individual.
710
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.639
Tim says, is there a weather update? The sky looks angry.
711
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:26.000
That's the understatement of the century. But yeah, it is
712
00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.800
getting ugly out there. Expect rain and storms for the
713
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.840
foreseeable future. But I don't have anything specific right now.
714
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.320
We're gonna go to break. I'm available on all the
715
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:37.440
social media's. We're streaming live on the YT, the FB,
716
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:43.719
and TikTok, and we'll we'll keep the conversation rolling on
717
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:45.559
the other side here, We've got a couple more texts
718
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.519
to get in, plenty more to talk about as well.
719
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:49.679
We'll see where we go outside the box. All right,
720
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:54.800
we're back ben Commonos whby political voices network Outside the
721
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.239
box to box is brought to you by Roush Plumbing
722
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.400
and Remodeling, the plumbing and remodeling company. The Fox Valley
723
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.679
depends on if you are just joining us. We dedicated
724
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:12.159
the entire first hour talking about flock cameras, talking about
725
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:17.400
a hearing that I personally attended in Nina, surrounding those
726
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.639
flock cameras, And as Mark says, and I think this
727
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.679
kind of sums it up.
728
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.239
I think the chief's.
729
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.800
Words, fraction of a fraction of a fraction is about
730
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.440
as arrogant as Marie Antoinette saying let them eat cake.
731
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.320
And I do tend to agree with you on that sentiment.
732
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:31.639
Mark.
733
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.039
You had the police chief saying that we were a
734
00:41:34.079 --> 00:41:35.119
fraction of a fraction.
735
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:35.800
You had.
736
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.559
The mayor of Nina saying that we were an echo
737
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:46.679
chamber despite every political leaning being represented. The only people
738
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.840
not questioning what's happening are the people that are scared
739
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:54.000
to question Donald Trump ever everybody else. If you can
740
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.679
acknowledge that just because Maga loses an election, you don't
741
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:02.320
think the election was rigged, Thai surveillance the number of people,
742
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:04.679
and it is very disappointing to see how many people
743
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:07.719
are coming out of the woodwork to champion surveillance, because
744
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.760
it goes to show you that people will vote for
745
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.880
their own downfall because they're scared of minorities, and like,
746
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.559
that's wild, It's just wild. And I realized I was,
747
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:18.840
I was, you know, brought up, you know, in a
748
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.519
more urban environment, and I had, you know, a more
749
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.360
diverse cast of characters that I was surrounded by, and
750
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.840
so maybe just my upbringing allowed for me to just
751
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:28.400
not be.
752
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.320
Wired that way.
753
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.159
But as you approach forty and you see people voting
754
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:35.320
to give away their freedoms, to gut the social safety
755
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:40.239
nets that built America all because of Mexicans and black people,
756
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.360
it's it's very difficult for me to understand. Like I'm
757
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.920
not trying to portray Pittsburgh, like I grew up in Harlem,
758
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:52.039
but where I own my duplex, you could be mid sentence,
759
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:56.480
you could hear a loud bang from a rifle or something,
760
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.440
and like, unless you could tell it was on your block,
761
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:03.360
you almost don't even flinch. And I would never advocate
762
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.559
for this kind of technology in Pittsburgh and we're sitting
763
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.679
here in the Fox Valley, Like, what the hell are
764
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:11.440
you people afraid of? Like, in all honesty, I'm not
765
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.760
going to say nothing bad can ever happen, but like,
766
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:17.639
what the hell are you guys so afraid of in
767
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:20.440
your day to day life that you would be willing
768
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:28.119
to be perpetually surveilled by AI? Like what about your
769
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:31.599
life here is so scary to you? Because I am
770
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.199
telling you right now, as Ben Franklin said, if you
771
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:43.360
sacrifice your freedoms in the name of safety, you deserve neither.
772
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.159
And for the record, I'm not leaning into the lies that, oh,
773
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.239
the big blue cities have all this crime. The crime
774
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.480
isn't even that bad in Pittsburgh. I'm telling you right now,
775
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:59.039
I saw more crap happen because it's a larger population
776
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:02.679
of people that does not happen here. I could walk
777
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:05.400
down downtown Appleton at one o'clock in the morning and
778
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.280
at no time would I be like, oh, boy, looks
779
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.360
like I ended up on the wrong side of the tracks.
780
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.320
That's not a thing that I am worried about. And
781
00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.960
I want to know what's going on in your head
782
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:23.760
that you think that makes sense? Uh, Leanne says, thanks
783
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:25.880
for keeping an eye out for all of us. It's
784
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.599
tiring being told we are a percent of a percent
785
00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:31.639
until we won our taxes and votes. These flock cameras
786
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:34.039
are just the beginning of nineteen eighty four or the
787
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:38.360
movie Minority Report. I think you're exactly right, Leanne, and moreover, yet,
788
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:42.719
you know what, three dozen people isn't a very large number,
789
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.760
but you know what, it is a larger number than one,
790
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:50.360
because that's how many people showed up in favor of flock.
791
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.960
If it's a fraction of a fraction, then where was
792
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:57.519
the fraction of the fraction that showed up in support
793
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:03.000
of living in a perpetual valence state. Somebody explained to
794
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:05.519
me why it is that it seems like a bunch
795
00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:09.159
of people that are super anti being surveiled were able
796
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.719
to find some time. It wasn't unemployed people. And the
797
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:15.559
best part is nothing against people who are of retirement
798
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:18.320
age or are retired that show up to this kind
799
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:20.360
of stuff. But I'm here to tell you right now,
800
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.320
there were parents, there were workers. I felt like I
801
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:26.000
was middle of the pack in terms of age, maybe
802
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:28.440
a little on the younger side, but not by much.
803
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.079
A lot of people in their thirties and forties, a
804
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.360
lot of new moms, a lot of old moms or
805
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.760
dads for that matter, but I specifically remember moms going
806
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:42.360
up to speak, well educated, well versed people showing up
807
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.800
with statistics and highlighting the exact ways in which these
808
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.360
companies lie to us and exploit us. And for some reason,
809
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:53.400
some of you are willing to just fall in line.
810
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:56.199
Some of us were born to follow orders, some of
811
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.960
us were born to question them. I'll let you guys
812
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:02.159
guess which one I am. I received a text that
813
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:05.840
just okay, that's a different one there, these says Fox
814
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:09.800
News foments the fear of crime, immigrants, Iran nuclear program,
815
00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:12.360
et cetera. Keeps the sheep in line just like a
816
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:13.000
sheep dog.
817
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:13.280
Yeah.
818
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:16.719
Maybe, I mean that probably has something to do with it.
819
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:23.960
I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't
820
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.239
It's just it's very surreal, and it's extra surreal to
821
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.800
me just bringing a different lived experience and then coming
822
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:33.599
here and experiencing how different it is. And I mean,
823
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:36.119
I realize, uh, you know, one or two of the
824
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.400
people in here. Notwithstanding that the people who are telling
825
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:43.639
me that surveillance is good. Are perpetual contrarians, uh, living
826
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:48.599
in an ever just an ever sustaining state of just
827
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.039
taking the opposite stance of whatever I say. And I
828
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:54.360
recognize that comes with the territory, But I mean the
829
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.280
people who are normally level headed who advocate for this
830
00:46:57.400 --> 00:46:59.760
kind of stuff, I just don't get it, not being
831
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.239
able to see it, and like it wouldn't even hurt
832
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:04.880
as much if we didn't already go through this with
833
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:10.599
the Patriot Act, but we did.
834
00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:17.039
It's wild. It's just wild to me. Paul says.
835
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:19.599
I don't think we need surveillance, But I also don't
836
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.400
think you can feel completely safe on college abb after
837
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:23.360
midnight anymore.
838
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:24.000
You can.
839
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.920
Not not one hundred percent safe. But I also don't
840
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.480
feel one hundred percent safe doing media, Like I'm like, man,
841
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:34.480
I saw what happened to Charlie Kirk. That sure is scary,
842
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.800
but like I'm gonna keep doing media, and I don't
843
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:40.239
expect there to be a security team around me all
844
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.159
the time, Like event there is an inherent risk to
845
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:49.480
all of life, Yes, but walk through the Hill District
846
00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:51.760
in Pittsburgh and then talk to me about walking through
847
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.119
downtown Appleton after one o'clock in the morning. I've gotten
848
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.840
stopped walking in neighborhoods. You want to talk about privilege.
849
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:02.480
I got stopped walking in neighborhoods in Pittsburgh where the
850
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.880
police officers pulled over and they were like, you definitely
851
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.719
don't belong in this neighborhood. But I had friends in
852
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:11.360
that neighborhood because I don't let people tell me who
853
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:13.199
I'm supposed to hang out with and who I'm not
854
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.280
supposed to hang out with. And there's good people in
855
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:21.079
all places. And the idea that anybody's scared walking down
856
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.679
West College A just says to me that you haven't
857
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:26.480
lived anywhere else. No offense to you guys, of course,
858
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:30.079
but that's kind of the way I feel about that.
859
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.400
Uh uh.
860
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.800
John out in Oshkost says, we have been surveyed as
861
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.480
long as there's been police on patrols in our cities
862
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.440
to keep everybody safe. Cameras is just another tool to
863
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.800
aid in the protection of our community. This is all
864
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:49.599
done in public, right, John. Here's the problem when the
865
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:54.920
company who's being included has partnered with Pallenteer in Israel.
866
00:48:56.519 --> 00:48:58.239
And they use these.
867
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:01.920
Flock cameras in order to prepare actually monitor the people
868
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.719
who live in Gaza and declare them to be terrorists,
869
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.519
not because of something they've done, but because of the
870
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:14.440
data they have collected on these people. I do not
871
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:19.199
want that in America. That is deep state police BS.
872
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.440
And I was of the impression in John. I don't
873
00:49:21.480 --> 00:49:23.559
know what way you lean far be it for me
874
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:27.559
to presume, but I was always told right wingers, libertarians
875
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.920
and Republicans hated big government. But it seems as though
876
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:34.719
you want big governments in a perpetual state of monitoring
877
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:39.360
you all the time. We know Pallenteer is being included.
878
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.679
And by the way, there was a Palenteer data breach
879
00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.039
not that long ago. I read someone for me. I
880
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:45.800
didn't get a chance to read about it, but that
881
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.119
sure is an interesting development. But when you take all
882
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:54.400
of these elements into account, I do not want these
883
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:59.039
cameras going up. I don't care. I like, here's the deal.
884
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:02.039
You're like, oh, oh, what about ring cameras. I never
885
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:05.639
bought a ring camera? Oh what about Alexa? I never
886
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:09.880
bought Alexa. Yes I have a smartphone. Yes I have
887
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.519
social media, specifically because I work in media and did
888
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.119
not use it prior to that, and I do not
889
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:21.960
want the government. The government's cutting our social programs. It's
890
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:25.320
taking our Medicare, it's taking our Medicaid. It's telling me
891
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.119
that I'm not going to have access to social Security.
892
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.639
But you bet your ass they want to be involved
893
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.920
in my life when they want to spy on me
894
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.960
NonStop to make sure I'm not saying anything negative about
895
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.719
everybody's favorite Orange Dad president or sleepy Joe. I will
896
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:43.320
not live in a version of America like that. And
897
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:46.280
if I remember correctly, a lot of boomers used to
898
00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:50.840
mock China for polling this kind of crap, and now
899
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.000
it seems as though you want to copy them. But
900
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.599
do it better because we're going catch Antifa.
901
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:56.599
No they're not.
902
00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.280
They're going to catch all of us. And by the
903
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.280
time you realie that, it's going to.
904
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:01.960
Be too late.
905
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:06.199
And I have to say, I'm just gonna say it here, Boomers,
906
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:09.440
I love you. But I also notice that a lot
907
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:12.440
of the people that are pro adding all of these
908
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:16.719
cameras everywhere are closer to the back nine than they
909
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.400
are in the front nine. I do not want to
910
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.320
live the next forty five years of my life in
911
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:30.800
constant surveillance by our government making sure that I do
912
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.559
not step out of line. And I would think most
913
00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:40.079
of us can agree with that sentiment, at least people
914
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.800
with a basic capacity for common sense. Brian says, it
915
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.320
does not bother them slash us until it happens to them,
916
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:50.280
slash us. But add it together, ring door exactly, I'm
917
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:54.079
gonna read this ring doorbells, Alexa, traffic cameras, your phone,
918
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:58.039
your smart appliances, your cars, using the credit card GPS.
919
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.440
In general, when can you ever drop out of you?
920
00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:05.519
And Brian now take the surveillance element and apply it
921
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:08.679
to the economy. Tax cuts for the rich, make stock
922
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:13.480
buybacks illegal, deregulate the banks, make it so that you
923
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.880
can't declare bankruptcy to get out of student loan debt.
924
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.000
Make it so that healthcare companies are able to operate
925
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:24.440
for profit. One of those things happening does not create
926
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:28.000
an economic crisis. All of those things, stacking on top
927
00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:31.119
of each other, results in an affordability crisis that neither
928
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:34.840
Democrats nor Republicans have any interest in actually addressing in
929
00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:37.880
a meaningful way, because that requires them to stand up
930
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.119
to the same billionaires that fund their campaigns. And now
931
00:52:41.159 --> 00:52:45.440
we have people who are advocating for the people, pointing
932
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:48.440
out that our government will not stand up for us
933
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.199
to be in a constant state of surveillance, and we're
934
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.599
supposed to pretend like that's a normal line of thinking.
935
00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:56.760
I'm sorry, but Waka walka Maga and Blue Maga, you
936
00:52:56.840 --> 00:53:03.159
don't know what you're talking about. Justin says it's like
937
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:06.039
I said in my hearing opinion, which I did send
938
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:10.719
to the mayor full text, the Party of Small Government
939
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:14.880
bats and eye when their own rights erode inch by inch,
940
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.760
they don't tread on me. Snake is slowly but surely
941
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:23.039
eating its own tail. No, you're exactly right, and like
942
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.440
even the one pro and like I'll tell the story.
943
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:31.199
One woman stood up and spoke in favor of flock cameras.
944
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.079
And she was older, because it's the older people who
945
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.599
want to instill this stuff and then not be here
946
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:40.400
anymore and leave us to deal with the hyper surveilled state.
947
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:43.840
And the only reason she was pro fluck is she
948
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:47.039
told a story about her mom with Alzheimer's or dementia
949
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:49.400
or whatever it was, and how she got lost and
950
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.599
she ultimately ended up getting spotted by a camera or something.
951
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:59.320
Had she not specifically been impacted by flock. I promise
952
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:01.480
you she wouldn't have in there saying anything about it,
953
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:04.119
because that's the way people are wired, at least on
954
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.039
the right. The left, I find typically has a capacity
955
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:13.039
for empathy anti legalizing the devil's lettuce, until, of course
956
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:16.960
it impacts somebody in your family in a positive way.
957
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:19.519
Then of course you realize that it's a good idea.
958
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:27.559
I just don't get it. Tom brings up a great point.
959
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.320
If you're unhappy living in the US, just move to
960
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:33.119
a place where ideas like yours are just like ideas
961
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:36.679
like yours. Exactly. So, if Tom's pro fluck, move to
962
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:40.559
communist China where they monitor you twenty four to seven,
963
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.960
go do that. I think that's a great suggestion. Tom
964
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.760
should head over to China and become hyper surveilled. I
965
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.559
live in America, the Land of the Free and the
966
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:56.039
Home of the Brave, with amendments, specifically the Fourth Amendment
967
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.599
that protects me against illegal search. Unfortunately, I'm going to
968
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:03.679
be in a perpetual state of being searched. If these
969
00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:07.559
flock cameras go up, I will use every fiber of
970
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:12.840
my being to tear down these surveillance cameras metaphorically, of course,
971
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.519
anybody trying to put these up, I will make sure
972
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:19.719
that the anti flock community knows what's going on. And
973
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.119
there's a lot more of us as a fraction of
974
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:24.519
a fraction of a fraction than there are of the
975
00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:29.599
pro big Daddy government catching damn Mexicans with these flock cameras.
976
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:33.199
Move to China, Tom, good luck to you. We're gonna
977
00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:35.599
go to break and when we come back, we're changing gears.
978
00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:38.719
I want to jump into election rigging because I didn't
979
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:40.760
get a chance to finish that yesterday. That should call
980
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:44.239
me down a little bit. I'm sure Ron Johnson went
981
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:47.519
on News Nation yesterday or two days ago, excuse me
982
00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:48.800
to talk about how the.
983
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:52.159
Elections were stolen and Walker walk out, don't question anything.
984
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.800
Turns out though, when he's being secretly recorded, he has
985
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.280
an entirely different opinion. And why don't we listen to
986
00:55:57.280 --> 00:55:59.880
both of those opinions On the other side of the break,
987
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:02.960
you're listening outside the box here on whby all right,
988
00:56:03.000 --> 00:56:06.480
we're back outside the box. Ben Kameno's w hbhy as
989
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:10.559
the skies have cracked open outside the Myron Construction studio.
990
00:56:10.679 --> 00:56:16.440
Please do stay safe out there. We're expecting storms the
991
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:19.239
rest of the day, maybe for the rest of our lives,
992
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.920
potentially based on the.
993
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:22.800
The forecast here now.
994
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:25.840
In all seriousness, it's it's looking ugly out there, and
995
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.360
depending on where you live, I'm sure you've got different
996
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:29.559
things happening outside you.
997
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:30.599
But I'm watching.
998
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:33.239
The the radar up on the TV in front of
999
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:35.199
me right now, and it looks as though we have
1000
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:38.440
the reddest part of the storm passing over us as
1001
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:40.440
we speak, but there's quite a bit of green and
1002
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:44.880
yellow behind that, so please do be uh be careful
1003
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:49.719
about that. So in any event, I want to switch
1004
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:55.519
gears here because I have been dealing h I've been
1005
00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:57.679
hammering this flock event. For the record, I'm going to
1006
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:00.280
be sending an email to the Nina Police Chief as
1007
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:02.000
I get off the air, inviting him to come on
1008
00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:03.760
the program, and I may reach out to the Nina
1009
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:06.840
Mayor as well see if he's interested in coming on
1010
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:08.679
the program as well. But they're gonna have some pretty
1011
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:11.760
serious questions that they're going to have to answer because
1012
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:14.960
I do not believe that the appropriate level of respect
1013
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.960
was shown to the people who had completely valid concerns
1014
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:19.920
and it seems like I got a bunch of new
1015
00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.280
Texters for the first time today that are all coming
1016
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.239
out of the woodwork to support Flock. I'm sure that's
1017
00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:30.079
a coincidence. So we are This won't be this last
1018
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:32.719
time we have this conversation, and this will be always
1019
00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:36.000
be a show for individual freedoms on this program and
1020
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.920
a government that works for its people, not against its people. Now,
1021
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:42.480
and I picked this shirt for a reason for somebody
1022
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:45.519
who said that the shirt is appropriate today, I'm dressed
1023
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.679
like Captain America. There's a reason why I'm wearing this
1024
00:57:47.719 --> 00:57:52.039
shirt today. This show is American af From what I understand,
1025
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:54.920
the kids tell me that stands for and fun. So
1026
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.480
I think that's the best way to describe this show. Now,
1027
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:03.039
I want to switch gears here into the conversation about
1028
00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:05.840
election rigging, and caller Ben decided to call in the
1029
00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:09.320
first hour and make it about election rigging. Then I
1030
00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:13.000
really want to state this unequivocally. I am not against
1031
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:16.119
the idea that an election can be stolen. If you
1032
00:58:16.280 --> 00:58:20.519
have evidence that an election has been stolen, absolutely, let's
1033
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.320
look into this. People are corrupt. I'd argue there's a
1034
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:26.519
lot of systems in place to prevent that fraud, and
1035
00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:28.559
that we have been a country for two hundred and
1036
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:31.000
fifty years and this really hasn't been an issue until
1037
00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:35.119
some of our Orange Dad presidents decided to complain about it.
1038
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:37.159
And a few of us really don't have a capacity
1039
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:43.239
to question anything coming out of that man's mouth. Um,
1040
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:48.239
it's when there is not a single question about the
1041
00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:52.840
twenty twenty four election, only for these people to come
1042
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.920
out of the woodwork and question the twenty twenty sixth
1043
00:58:57.920 --> 00:59:05.679
election because of republic lost in California. That's where I
1044
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:09.199
have no respect for it. The twenty twenty election was
1045
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:12.719
rigged because Trump lost, twenty four was fine, and then
1046
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:16.119
twenty six was rigged again. I do not respect you.
1047
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.920
You're not just asking questions. You're a baby and a
1048
00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:23.920
sore loser if you cannot accept the results of the
1049
00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:28.119
election in California. The California election that was so rigged
1050
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:31.320
that apparently Steve Hilton was still able to get a
1051
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:36.559
Republican ticket for the governor's race, but of course Spencer
1052
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.000
Pratt wasn't able to win in LA. And I'm so
1053
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:42.280
thankful that Steve Hilton won, so that when he loses
1054
00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.840
by more than twenty points. Maga can look incredibly dumb
1055
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:48.039
for having pitched a fit about this to begin with
1056
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:56.760
our esteemed Senator Ron Moscow Johnson, Ron the swamp Johnson, Ron,
1057
00:59:56.800 --> 01:00:00.639
I'm only going to serve two terms, Johnson to News
1058
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.760
Nation two days ago, to stoke these flames for the
1059
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.920
people that don't have a capacity to think for themselves.
1060
01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:10.840
And so of course I'm going to have to undress
1061
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:14.320
him now because i just have a problem. I have
1062
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:18.039
a clip that's available from social media.
1063
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:19.800
It's going to.
1064
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:24.119
Start the first fifty five to fifty seven seconds is
1065
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:26.679
going to be him on News Nation, and then you're
1066
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:29.960
gonna notice a terrible drop off in the audio quality.
1067
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.000
But I'm fairly certain I've listened to it to a
1068
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:37.159
cup for a couple times now, I'm fairly certain that
1069
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:39.000
you'll still be able to hear it. And he was
1070
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:44.440
being secretly recorded while talking about the giant quote fingers
1071
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:49.159
election fraud in twenty twenty. And we're gonna see how
1072
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:51.880
he talks about election fraud for the camera when he
1073
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:55.920
knows he's performing, versus when he's just being a human being.
1074
01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:58.880
And let's see what you guys pick up on. Oh wait,
1075
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.000
you probably already know where this is going.
1076
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:05.639
There's never been evidence presented in any of these cases.
1077
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:09.039
Decide with the president when he speaks about this topic,
1078
01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:10.760
or would you rather that he skipping entirely.
1079
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:13.880
I mean, there was so much evidence of irregularities in
1080
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.320
the twenty twenty election, but all you have to do
1081
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:18.920
is say there's no evidence, there's no proof. There's all
1082
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.480
there are all kinds of irregulators that occur. I mean
1083
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:24.800
the fact that California, how many days after the election
1084
01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:26.360
still resort.
1085
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:28.880
But my point is there's never been anything proven on
1086
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:31.599
scale that would affect an election, whether it be in
1087
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:34.400
a national level or a big statewide like this. I
1088
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.840
understand there's a regularities there always are, but scale.
1089
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:40.480
That would impact I've never seen which is evidence. Yeah,
1090
01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:43.559
I mean people that do things covered up. But again,
1091
01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:46.239
I'm getting very tired of this. There is no evidence,
1092
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.000
there's no proof. There's tons of evidence, there's tons of irregularities.
1093
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.280
Just there's so much evidence, Senator, why not just present it.
1094
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.840
There's been multiple chances to do so, courts of law
1095
01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:55.360
and otherwise.
1096
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:01.079
People do and it's ignored. You don't Scoons, Fifty one
1097
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:07.519
thousand voters didn't vote for him candid. There's going obviously
1098
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:16.920
skewed about resent Okay persons Wiscotts, so listen sellectively. Republicans
1099
01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:19.639
got one point six sixty one million votes.
1100
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:23.840
One thousand more true good friend up lost by twenty thousand.
1101
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:25.719
Trunk got all the calder.
1102
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:28.639
Recumpanies ordered for Trump the way they ordered for the semi.
1103
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.159
Campass seventy would have one.
1104
01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:30.960
He didn't.
1105
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.239
He didn't take fifty one thousand other pubs in scott.
1106
01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:34.559
That's right now.
1107
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:37.320
So that was a bit touch and go. Allow me
1108
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.679
to give you the spark Notes version of what was
1109
01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:42.719
just said right there. He stated that there were one
1110
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:47.000
points in twenty twenty in Wisconsin, one point six six
1111
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:51.079
one million votes went for Republicans across the board in
1112
01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:54.719
the state legislature. Uh, you know, different races, senators, races,
1113
01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:59.320
so on and so forth. Trump got fifty thousand less
1114
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:03.119
votes than that. He lost by twenty thousand. The reason
1115
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:06.119
he lost is because fifty thousand people who identified as
1116
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:08.719
Republicans who took the time to show up and vote,
1117
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:11.400
ultimately decided that he was a big enough piece of
1118
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:13.880
trash to not go and vote for him in twenty twenty.
1119
01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:16.920
But when Ron Johnson is on a regular camera, he's
1120
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:19.719
going to pretend that there are irregularities. But when he
1121
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:23.920
is not on camera, that's when he decides that he's
1122
01:03:23.960 --> 01:03:26.760
actually going to try and behave like a human being. Again,
1123
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:31.719
this is the problem with politics in general. You know what,
1124
01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:34.840
We should instill flock cameras around all politicians so that
1125
01:03:34.880 --> 01:03:37.599
they're constantly surveilled, so that we can catch them when
1126
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:40.920
they're obviously saying the wrong thing. I'm pro big government,
1127
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:44.079
look at me in my big brain. But this is
1128
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:48.199
why we are still fighting about twenty twenty in twenty
1129
01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:52.039
twenty six. And then Republicans want to say, why are
1130
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:56.480
people still bringing up the twenty twenty election? Why can't
1131
01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:58.880
they just let it go? Because they won't shut the
1132
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:01.199
hell up about it is the answer to that question.
1133
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:05.519
Until maga elected officials can say that the election wasn't rigged,
1134
01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:10.679
we cannot take you seriously as individuals. As someone that
1135
01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.599
knows all the ways to spent two and a half
1136
01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.559
years highlighting the ways in which the Democratic Party has
1137
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:24.760
failed us. Donald Trump lost in twenty twenty, Spencer Pratt
1138
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.000
lost last Tuesday, and it's not because of rigging. It's
1139
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:35.679
because The MAGA agenda is objectively trash. Guys, no one
1140
01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:39.639
likes it other than the diest of die hard magas.
1141
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:46.320
This is the reality, and if you've got the evidence,
1142
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:53.400
prove it. But you can't so it didn't happen. You're
1143
01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:57.639
just parroting something because you're embarrassed. Your orange dad president
1144
01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:00.559
lost to a guy that wasn't sure what year it was.
1145
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:05.440
And I get it. That is embarrassing, but it doesn't
1146
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.760
change reality, and it most certainly isn't going to force
1147
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:15.199
me to pretend that I live in a different reality.
1148
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:19.880
And Jimmy's trying to catch me. Jimmy, I don't know
1149
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:21.480
where you are, but I almost want to use a
1150
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.159
co host because you are just a mountain of good content.
1151
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:28.239
Play Hillary's comments from twenty sixteen stolen election might hold
1152
01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:32.360
more authenticity When Mandela Barnes comes on my show, do
1153
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.760
you know what I'm going to ask him, Jimmy, I'm
1154
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:37.000
gonna ask him if he's going to be willing to
1155
01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:40.039
accept the results of the election since he accused Donald
1156
01:05:40.079 --> 01:05:43.079
Trump and Russia of stealing the election in twenty sixteen
1157
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:46.400
and very rarely ever actually backs off of that claim.
1158
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.719
Because I'm not a hack unlike you. Thank you for listening.
1159
01:05:50.320 --> 01:05:55.199
So when you see the way that Ron Johnson is
1160
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.880
willing to talk, he's gonna say yeah. One point sixty
1161
01:05:57.920 --> 01:06:01.280
sixty one million Republicans showed up voted in twenty twenty.
1162
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:03.840
Fifty thousand of them showed up and voted but didn't
1163
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.480
vote for Donald Trump. That's how he ended up losing.
1164
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:09.880
That should probably put everything moscow. Johnson has to say, right,
1165
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.440
let's put it all to bed. Nine two oh two
1166
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:17.280
eight one eleven fifty nine two oh two eight one
1167
01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:21.800
eleven fifty. Prove me wrong. I need one of those signs.
1168
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:29.079
Prove me wrong. Oh my god, Jimmy, I'm about ready
1169
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:31.320
to mute you for the day. Buddy who was crying
1170
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:36.559
about Elon Musk's money but is awful quiet about Zuckerberg's money? Hey, uh,
1171
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.440
class other than Bruce Wayne, has anybody heard me say
1172
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.599
something positive about a billionaire?
1173
01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:44.039
Ever?
1174
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:47.920
Nine to two oh two eight one eleven fifty is
1175
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:53.480
all of my anti billionaire sentiment saved exclusively for Elon Musk?
1176
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:57.599
Where did big brain Jimmy come from? Nine two oh
1177
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:02.239
two eight one eleven fifty tim asking me remind me,
1178
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.760
wasn't Johnson part of the fake Elector scandal in twenty twenty.
1179
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:08.760
I know he likes to try and parse his words here,
1180
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:10.159
but that's just me.
1181
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:12.079
Um.
1182
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:16.840
Let's see here. This one's from Ralph Ben still a
1183
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:20.440
Trump supporter, not as much as previously, and not red Maga.
1184
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:22.360
If you're still a Trump supporter, I hate to break
1185
01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:25.079
it to your Ralph, but your MAGA will likely never
1186
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:29.239
vote Democrat. I'm a conservative quasi libertarian. Okay, there we go,
1187
01:07:29.400 --> 01:07:31.199
there we go. I'm with you there on the end
1188
01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:33.679
of it, at least one hundred percent, in agreement with
1189
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:38.320
you against all forms of valans nh motto. I'm not
1190
01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:42.760
sure what that means. Live free or die a Philly
1191
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:46.920
boy in the Fox Cities. Right on, Ralph, I don't
1192
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:50.280
know how is a libertarian you can really support Donald Trump.
1193
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:51.920
I'll be real with you. I get why you can't
1194
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:54.639
support the Democrats. And by the way, to all the
1195
01:07:54.679 --> 01:07:58.920
libertarians listening, I'm gonna have a libertarian candidate for the
1196
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.079
sixth district of what Consin on my show a week
1197
01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:04.800
from today at nine thirty. More on that later, but
1198
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:07.079
I think she has an interesting platform that you guys
1199
01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.880
will be interested in hearing from.
1200
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:14.079
But I'm just gonna be real with you.
1201
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:16.479
If you're looking at what Donald Trump has done for
1202
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.159
the last eighteen months and you can't objectively look at
1203
01:08:19.159 --> 01:08:21.560
this and say, oh, no, we're trending in the wrong
1204
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:25.359
direction in every way except for number of Mexicans, and
1205
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:27.439
not to say that there's a right direction for that
1206
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:31.720
I'm saying in the eyes of some people, I just
1207
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.279
it just says to me that you're not looking at
1208
01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:37.359
Trump critically. And if you can't look at him critically,
1209
01:08:37.399 --> 01:08:39.720
then that means you're part of the cult. It's no
1210
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:43.079
different than the people saying that Joe Biden was sharper
1211
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:45.880
than ever. I had one caller when Joe Biden was
1212
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.359
in office who, when I was saying that we needed
1213
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.640
a primary in the Democratic Party, was blocking the primary.
1214
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:54.680
He calls my show and says, if you have Tom Brady,
1215
01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:57.880
you don't go and look for a new quarterback on
1216
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.319
your bench, meaning to me that he either does doesn't
1217
01:09:00.319 --> 01:09:02.600
know who Tom Brady is, or is clearly in a
1218
01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:06.279
blue Maga cult. If you can't acknowledge that economically, we
1219
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:09.039
are worse in every metric than we were during the
1220
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:11.960
Biden administration, and Biden had to get us out of
1221
01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:16.800
a pandemic. Then I just you're not looking at this objectively.
1222
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:21.600
I'll be real, but that's at least my perspective on
1223
01:09:21.640 --> 01:09:26.239
the matter. What's this Tom says on the YouTube chat,
1224
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:28.880
and I apologize YouTube. I'm dealing with some issues here
1225
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:31.600
on this as well. I don't think the election is rigged,
1226
01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:34.600
but I think better transparency is how the new digital
1227
01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:38.000
and scan trines might ease skepticism. So I feel that
1228
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:40.640
Tom and I will never make any excuses for why
1229
01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:44.159
Chicago or California acts the way that they act in
1230
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.399
terms of how long it takes them to count votes,
1231
01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:50.439
like there absolutely needs to be some new changes made there.
1232
01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:55.359
But the only reason any skepticism exists is because Donald
1233
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:57.560
Trump's a whiny little baby. And I want to use
1234
01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.399
a different b word, but I have a feeling both
1235
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:02.239
the FCS and the TikTok algorithm don't want me to
1236
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.479
use it. But if Donald Trump were just a grown
1237
01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:08.159
ass man, there wouldn't be any questions about election integrity,
1238
01:10:08.159 --> 01:10:12.119
but unfortunately, he's a whiny little baby. Please insert the
1239
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:18.000
word that I want to say in that uh uh
1240
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:24.239
in that sentence there, But that's just me, of course, uh.
1241
01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:26.920
Nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty. Here's what
1242
01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:29.279
we're gonna do. We're gonna go to break. There's a
1243
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.439
couple of them, Brian, what are you saying here? I'm
1244
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:34.319
rolling on the floor laughing. Nice, that's all I need.
1245
01:10:34.359 --> 01:10:36.800
I hope that's literal. I hope you're literally doing that,
1246
01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:40.960
all right? Nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty
1247
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:43.479
nine two oh two eight one eleven fifty.
1248
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.319
We'll put a bow on this conversation.
1249
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:47.720
On the other side, you're listening outside the box here
1250
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.319
on whby, all right, we're back outside the box, Ben
1251
01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:53.239
Komenos whby.
1252
01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:54.399
Uh.
1253
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:58.840
Friendly reminder guys, seeing as I am the most American
1254
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:01.840
person you guys have ever heard on the radio, I
1255
01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:04.600
will be taking part in the Flag Day Parade on
1256
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:10.840
Saturday with our partners Pierce Manufacturing. We're gonna be handing
1257
01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:14.239
out flags to everybody is The parade kicks off on Saturday,
1258
01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:17.600
so hopefully you guys can stop by. Just so you know,
1259
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:21.319
there are flock cameras set up around Appleton, so please
1260
01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:24.199
be on your best behavior because Big Daddy Government and
1261
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:26.800
Jimmy and a handful of the magas that are super
1262
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:32.079
pro being surveiled all the time. M won it that
1263
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.199
way because they're nervous that you might do crimes someday,
1264
01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:38.319
so'd rather you just be in a perpetual state of surveillance.
1265
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.720
I will be there handing out flags though, being American
1266
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:43.640
AF which stands.
1267
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:44.079
For and fun.
1268
01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.319
So hopefully you can stop by and say hello. Although
1269
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:49.479
I might be driving the vehicle, but hopefully I can
1270
01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:51.680
find somebody else to drive the vehicle because I always
1271
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:54.720
like interacting with you guys shorter route as well, So
1272
01:11:54.760 --> 01:11:57.439
if you show up late, you're gonna miss it, and
1273
01:11:57.479 --> 01:11:59.479
that would just be devastating. At least you're gonna miss
1274
01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:02.199
the wh why vehicle. I'm sure there's other things that
1275
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:05.479
matter after that, not from my perspective, of course, So
1276
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:12.079
hopefully you can take part in the program there, all right.
1277
01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:14.119
And but so with that, I want to kind of
1278
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:17.520
put a bow on the conversation. And I got a
1279
01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:19.920
call from Brian out in Fremont during the break. He said,
1280
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:22.199
the show's clicking on. All cylinders were hitting the fake
1281
01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:26.880
election fraud conspiracies were hitting the flock cameras. I see
1282
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:29.720
a lot of like minded people kind of coalescing around this,
1283
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:33.520
and like that's just it, Like it's a matter of
1284
01:12:33.560 --> 01:12:42.239
eliminating the hypocrisy surrounding these conversations, like the number of
1285
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:48.720
people who identify as libertarian being pro flock cameras doesn't
1286
01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:52.640
make any gd sense. It doesn't make any flipping sense
1287
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:57.560
that somebody can justify that in their head. It's me honestly,
1288
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:02.279
I'm coming from a state the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania
1289
01:13:02.479 --> 01:13:06.319
is essentially kneecapping public schools, And to me, that's just
1290
01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:14.479
like a very anti democratic democratic mindset. Um, it's a
1291
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:18.920
matter of consistency in these matters. And if you are
1292
01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:26.039
not willing to have the government invest in social programs,
1293
01:13:26.359 --> 01:13:30.359
the same social programs with a proven track record of
1294
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:34.720
benefiting the American population, then I sure as hell better
1295
01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:37.399
not see you advocating for the government to be engaged
1296
01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:40.880
in the perpetual surveillance state of the American population, like
1297
01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:44.079
pick and choose, and like the idea that like, I'm
1298
01:13:44.119 --> 01:13:46.600
against big government when they do all the good stuff,
1299
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:49.159
but I do want them to be in a perpetual
1300
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:53.039
state of monitoring us to catch bin laden. You know,
1301
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:56.640
like there eventually comes a time when it's just like,
1302
01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:00.680
what actually do you believe. How exactly do you justifies
1303
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:05.039
these justify the things that you think, because I think
1304
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:08.560
looking inward on these matters is the best way to
1305
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:12.000
grow and develop. As I've stated several times over, I
1306
01:14:12.199 --> 01:14:17.319
was an early twenty something advocating for trickle down economics
1307
01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:21.520
because it made sense on paper, and then new information
1308
01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:24.600
made itself available to me and I was like, oh, well,
1309
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.640
this is a dumb economic system, and then I changed
1310
01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.720
my mind, and we all need to be willing to
1311
01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:32.800
do that. But it really feels like when it comes
1312
01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:36.159
to politics. South Park actually has a bit about this,
1313
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:40.479
where like being anti immigrant, they do it in terms
1314
01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:44.039
of Randy marsh is trying to start a house flipping company,
1315
01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:47.199
and he would always go into every house. He's like,
1316
01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:49.840
what we're gonna do is we're gonna tear down this
1317
01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:52.840
load bearing pillar. That's always where he would start. And
1318
01:14:52.880 --> 01:14:56.000
then you realize that the load bearing pillar was a
1319
01:14:56.039 --> 01:15:00.399
metaphor for anti immigrant sentiment. And he's engaged in a
1320
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:04.239
conversation with one guy who's mad that Alexa is taking
1321
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:06.880
all the jobs of blue collar workers. I'm sure you
1322
01:15:06.920 --> 01:15:09.760
can figure out the metaphor there, and they talk about
1323
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:12.800
tearing down the load bearing pillar, and he's like, I
1324
01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:17.399
can't because it's central to my identity and I can't
1325
01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:20.279
stress enough. We've got to break free from that kind
1326
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:25.000
of thinking, because I am watching us willfully march into
1327
01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:30.239
a surveillance state that is going to persist. And once
1328
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:33.720
we take the toothpaste out of the tube, you cannot
1329
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:36.880
put it back in. They tell you, oh, it can
1330
01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:39.479
only do still frame images, and then you find out
1331
01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:43.199
they're working on fifteen second surveillance. Oh, don't worry, it's
1332
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.880
just license plates. And then you realize that there's plenty
1333
01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:49.720
of technology out there, and it's already being utilized in
1334
01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:54.000
the Middle East to track facial recognition. I'm old enough
1335
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:57.520
to remember when Netflix and Hulu, when Amazon showed up
1336
01:15:57.560 --> 01:16:01.079
and said, look at all of us, we're here to
1337
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:05.479
make streaming movies and TV more affordable. Go ahead and
1338
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:08.600
cut the cord and become a streaming service person. And
1339
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.359
then that's what we all did. Anybody under seventy has
1340
01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:13.479
cut the cord at this point, and you know what,
1341
01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:17.039
it's basically as expensive as cable at this point. And
1342
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:20.520
now they've added ads, and now they've taken away features
1343
01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:22.560
that used to be available and told you you have
1344
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:25.199
to pay more in order to access these features that
1345
01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:29.680
were once free because once it became ubiquitous, once they
1346
01:16:29.720 --> 01:16:35.720
were able to undercharge everybody for the services that they
1347
01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:42.279
offer corner the market, much like Amazon. Once they have everybody,
1348
01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.960
that's when the crap starts. That's when they start treating
1349
01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:50.680
you like crap. Not caring about these things. Right now,
1350
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:54.439
the only agenda is get the flock cameras up, because we.
1351
01:16:54.399 --> 01:16:59.000
Go to catch them Mexicans, but then it's going to
1352
01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:02.079
be used in all of these negative ways that I
1353
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:09.119
think a lot of you are remaining willfully ignorant too.
1354
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:12.239
We need to wake up to what's taking place here.
1355
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:13.720
We have lived.
1356
01:17:13.800 --> 01:17:16.520
As Kate Hancock Cook, who was on the program at
1357
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:19.039
nine point thirty, will be available on the app later.
1358
01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:24.039
As she mentioned during the program, crime has been declining
1359
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:31.159
steadily for forty years. We did not need flock cameras
1360
01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:37.479
to make that happen. So instead of rushing, just like
1361
01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:40.880
the big deck companies are trying to do with data centers,
1362
01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:44.600
which I think most of us can universally push back against, unless,
1363
01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:46.880
of course, Donald Trump tells us he likes them, in
1364
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:49.119
which case we're going to have another mountain, we need
1365
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:49.800
to climb again.
1366
01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:50.840
I'm sure.
1367
01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:59.479
It's the same principle, Cassidy says. I believe it was
1368
01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:01.880
Joseph Goebels. It was the first to say, if you're
1369
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:04.319
not doing anything wrong. I'm assuming the rest of that
1370
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:05.600
sentence is, you don't.
1371
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:06.039
Need to worry.
1372
01:18:06.319 --> 01:18:09.359
He said it, we said it during the Patriot Act,
1373
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:12.199
and we're hearing it now again. Do not let me
1374
01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.319
be the voice yelling into the abyss. I am going
1375
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:19.760
to use my platform to keep you posted and let
1376
01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:23.079
you know the next time one of these meetings is
1377
01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:26.279
going on, and I hope that there's a larger percentage
1378
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:28.640
of people the next time than there were this time,
1379
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:32.159
because apparently thirty six of us isn't enough. So next
1380
01:18:32.159 --> 01:18:35.000
time we're gonna show up with a thousand, and let's
1381
01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:36.520
see how that ends up working.
1382
01:18:37.159 --> 01:18:38.840
I got to call it a show here today.
1383
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.880
I appreciate everybody listening and listening to me rant for
1384
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.399
the last two hours. I had an emotional day yesterday,
1385
01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:47.640
and I'm thankful that I have a platform that I am.
1386
01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:48.279
Able to do this.
1387
01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:50.239
I have to get out of here. I will talk
1388
01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:52.560
to you guys tomorrow. Haley's up next. Follow me on
1389
01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:54.000
the socials outside the box.
