Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Great Drone Dilemma continues. To the media's horror, Trump
went to a big victory and in Wisconsin Sheriff jumps
awoke Shark. The times there are changing, which you'll definitely
hear on this week's Did they really just say that?
Audio clips? I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is newspite.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I mean no disrespect in your jersey when I say that.
I think it's very unlikely that an alien invasion would begin.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Watch him out.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
What George Sethanopholis said in that interview.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean it.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Seems to hold up of what the judge said after
the back and now he's a news organization and himself,
Georgepanopolis himself is paying a million dollars of his own money.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
So whether or not she was, he was they were
transgender is something that may come out later, but for
or what we're doing right now today, literally eight hours
after a mass shooting in a school in Madison, it
is of no consequence at this time.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And there you have.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, that was Madison Chief of Belief Sean Barnes, and
I like him.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I think he's to the point.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
I mean, I don't necessarily know enough about him that
you know, sometimes you get these newsmakers and you go, hey,
I kind of like him, but you don't know anything
about him. It's just you see him for five minutes
out of their whole life.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But yeah, nonetheless, it looks like that, Well, he looks
like a decent guy and he was dealing with a
very horrific situation. There was a school shooting. But here's
my issue. Okay, okay, so what you heard and we'll
play the full cup for you. What you heard? So
it's it's you know, less than a day from the shooting,
and horrible shooting, school shooting, a student kills three people,
(01:55):
including herself, and so people, what the hell it's a
Christian school, Well what the hell happened? What's the mode
of what's going on? And somebody, a reporter raised the question, well,
it looks there is something going on on social media
saying that she was trans, and there have been a
spate of trans shooters lately, leading to people to wonder
(02:17):
if there is a psychological issue. As you know, my
personal feeling is that if you you can take any
group of shooters and find something in common with them,
and it doesn't mean everybody in that group has a problem,
but you don't ignore it. You have to find out
what's going on. And that's what the question was. And
the Madison police chief seemed to be more concerned with
(02:38):
being woke and stopping the discussion than he did about
trying to get to the bottom of why this happened.
Cut twenty two A.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So whether or not she was, he was they were
transgender is something that may come out later. But for
what we're doing right now today, literally eight hours after
a mass shooting in a school in Madison, it is
of no consequence at this time, and so I would
encourage people to be responsible with your social media. I
(03:09):
won't go into some of the things that I've seen
on social media that quite frankly, are incorrect, that that
are not true, that are just not helping at all,
And I choose not to breathe.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Life into that.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
By the way, I know, sometimes we don't see eyed
eye on things, you and I, and we don't we
disagree sometimes I'm not really offended by by what he
said there, and I kind of agree that, Look, you
got to find out for sure, and there's an investigator.
I mean, you know, the biggest thing is that there's
dead people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And nobody's arguing with that.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
And I'm going to say this.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Anybody who walks into a school or a shopping mall,
or a post office or a business or whatever it
opens fire and kills people has a mental issue.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I don't know what it is. It doesn't have to
be trans.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Anybody who kills somebody, right, was there bullying going on something?
The motive, I agree with you, the most important is
people dead, but the reason why they're dead is also
of paramount importance. It's not just oh, by the way,
it's a huge thing. So for him to shut down
the discussion before we know anything is I think you're
(04:16):
responsible in that particular moment. And I like him, but
in that particular moment, he was more concerned with being
woke than he was concerned with getting information out there
to people. How about just saying we don't know yet
if her being trans or if she was trans, or
if her being trans had anything to do with We
just don't know. That would be an acceptable response. Now,
(04:39):
how dare you ask the question that's different and it
does have something to do with what happened, because it
has to do with her makeup and what happened with her,
just the way any background of any shooter, I don't
care if it's if it's about their sexuality, I don't
care if it's about their religion. I don't care if
it's about you know, their medical condition, what. Whatever it
(05:00):
is has a bearing when they've just killed multiple people, and.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Answers obviously will come. And every time there's a shooting
of any kind, there's always a time frame, like it's
not like, hey, somebody shot somebody all of a sudden,
we know why. So he did say, and I give
him credit for this too. It's only eight hours after, right,
this is not like six weeks later and we still
don't know crap about crap.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So I am with him on.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The time. Thing has to do with Okay, we don't
know yet, gotcha. But to say don't ask it is
a completely different thing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You may have mistake a bit.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, I think that is over the top saying don't
ask the question. Bleep. You you're the sheriff. You're there
to find out. I'm telling you what I want to know,
and if you can't find it, okay, tell me you
don't know yet, but don't tell me. Don't ask the question.
And that's what he was doing.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Again.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
I think we don't see quite eyde eye on it,
but I think that the answers will come out. They
and they'll come out either through a true and investigation,
or they'll come out because mom will come out and
say something, or a sister or brother or cousin or
friend or whatever. We'll say, yeah, they're this and they
were getting bullied. So we'll find out will I don't
know how quickly we needed to find out.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
You're right. I mean, he could have said it better,
I think is more.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He could have not shut down the discussion, and that's
what he did.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Again. I'd have to just say we don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, And again, like I said, I don't know boo
about this guy until this shooting happened, and probably soon
enough we won't know boo about this guy again. So
I need to have a bigger picture of him to
know whether he's woke or he's this or that.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know if he's woke, but I do know
he's shut down the discussion and that was inappropriate to
me in any event. From one of the big stories
that came out this week and talk about unbalancing people
and making them a little crazy. Donald Trump won a
big settlement this week. He did it and he didn't
have to go to court to do it. ABC cried uncle,
(06:50):
it was a defamation lawsuit against ABC for something George
Stephanopoulos said in an interview with Nancy Mace earlier this year.
We actually had the cuts from this year and the Mason.
I want to play one of them for you because
this is the moment that George put his foot in it.
This is George Stephanopolis on ABC with Nancy Mays talking
(07:12):
about rape. Cut forty three B.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Doris Donald Trump for President right. Donald Trump has been
found liable for rape by a jury. Donald Trump has
been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape
by a jury. It's been affirmed by a judge.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
It was not a criminal court case.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Number one, Number two. I live with shame, and you're
asking me a question about my political choices, trying to
shame me as a rape victim, and I find it
disgusting and quite frankly, Egene Carroll's comments when she did
get the judgment, joking about what she was going to buy.
It doesn't it makes it harder for women to come
forward when they make a mockery out of rape when
(07:51):
they joke about it. I completely agree with Nancy Mays
in that particular instance, and so what he was referring to,
of course, was the fact that Nancy Mesa come out
to support Donald Trump for president and George Stefanopplas said
he's been found libel for ripe. He was never found
lible for ripe. He was never accused of rape. He
was found civilly libel for sexual abuse, which is still
(08:15):
many people say that was a horrific trial, but okay,
and he he landed a big judgment for it. He
was against him for it, and that's the facts of
the case. But George Stephanopolos overspoke and doubled down on
it multiple times, so it came back at her multiple
times in that interview. Was actually obnoxious. But ABC knew
(08:35):
he had leaped up big time first body essentially putting
out there that Donald Trump was a rapist. And of
course George Stephanopolis is on the opposing side of Donald
Trump on the political spectrum, so it was I think
he thought all was fair in love and elections, and
there he goes. But ABC knew it was so bad
that they did not go to trial. They wrote a check.
(08:57):
They wrote a check for sixteen mension dollars to Trump,
who is giving it to He's not keeping it, He's
actually giving it to I think part of it goes
to rape victims, and part of it goes to his library,
but his presidential library. But here's the thing. That settlement
(09:20):
has really discombobulated mainstream media. They are now horrified that
they could be held accountable for lives for what they say.
I know. So here is Simone Sanders on MSNBC. This
is what you hear in the intro. She's reacting to
this settlement, and she is furious and she puts her
(09:40):
foot in it like I have not seen very much lately.
Cut twelve A. The press is in a difficult position.
Everyone understands that that doesn't change the obligation to be
straightforward and objective when it comes to Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I would just say, I mean, this feels like it
has a real chilling effect. Like I mean, shout out
to the standards department. Okay, standards is all is making
sure that we are keeping the bar high and substance
of inaccurate. But what George Stefanopolis said in that interview.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean it.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Seems to hold up of what the judge said after
the bat and now he's a news organization and himself,
Georgepanopolis himself is paying a million dollars of his own
money to the lawyers and ABC fifteen million dollars. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, and get out your checkbook, Simone and MSNBC, because
you just repeated the slander that won Donald truck Donald
Trump the sixteen million dollars. To say it holds up
is the same thing as saying it was true. Yeah,
you jackass. Why he's just stepped in it.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
I think some in the media and Stephanopolis probably did this.
I don't know what he was thinking at the time,
but almost like their their opinions get slips mixed up
with fact. And so maybe Stephanopoulos wanted Trump to have
been convicted of that. Maybe he thought he is a
really bad person. By the way, to say I don't
(11:01):
like this person is one thing to make up lies
or to say things that aren't true, for example.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And I know it gets confusing because he did go
to court.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
He was found that he had to pay this money, right,
so people get their minds get confused, just like look,
O J. Simpson, who's gone now was found not guilty
of murder, but he was found liable in a civil
suit in court. But he's still not a murderer as
far as.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
The law is concerned.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
So Donald Trump may have had to pay this money
to eg and Carroll, but he's not a rapist as
far as the law is concerned. And Stephanopoulos, I think,
maybe got his facts confused and wanted Trump to be
a rapist so badly that he just started injecting that
into conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I agree with that. I think that's a really good
analysis of the situation. With a minor exception. I don't
think George Sephanopolis gets confused. I think that he knew
exactly what he was saying, and I think he said
it regardless because he didn't think he would be held
to account.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
That's what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Well, that makes it didn't think he would be held
accounting right above everything. Yes, well that it's not just him,
because that comes out with Simone Sanders saying a chilling effect.
Now the press is going to be held accountable. Yes,
the press is always held you remember the press, Yes,
you you're held accountable for telling the truth. You're not
(12:21):
allowed to make crap up and put it out there
is the truth, and that's what she doesn't want to
have stopped. She's just like, well, now we can't say
whatever you want to say. You've never been able to
say whatever it is you want to be saying. You're
The point is you have to tell the truth. You can.
You can give your opinion, but stating somebody as a
rapist is not your opinion.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
You can say what you want to say as long
as it's not a bold faced lie, standing right that
slandered someone.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
So yeah, I mean that. Look, the media.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Should always be careful of what they say because they
shouldn't be telling lies about anybody. First of all, you
shouldn't be telling lies about anybody. But certainly, and I
don't really want to qualify it, but look, this is
the president slash President elect slash former president of the
United States.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
People are going to notice if you lie about him.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Nobody's going to give a rats fart if somebody lies
about me, you really, I mean in theory, so the
media can't lie about anybody, but you certainly can't be
thrown out lies and misspeaks about people that we're going
to notice I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Really exactly right, no, exactly right now. You would think
that would be the biggest story of the week. And
in a lot of weeks it would have been. There
would have been that's a that's a huge deal, but
not this week.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
They flew by the way it really And when I
heard the story and I, you know, obviously I follow
the news as much as I can, the whole thing
kind of flew under the radar until I heard about it.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I was like, it was a suit. I was trying
to think. I'm like, did I know that? Because it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Really.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Well, you did, because you're you're even more deep into
that stuff than I am. But I kind of felt
like the whole suit didn't get heavy play.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You're so right, it didn't. It got heavy play on
conservative news outlets, but not on.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
The New quote unquote news now, the network.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
News, or in the mainstream media news. Basically no, but
it was not the biggest story of the week, because
the biggest story of the week is still is still
the drone.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Speaking of flying under the radar, that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Was good, that was very very good. The government has
been horrific and responding to what's going on with these drones.
People are worried. They're very concerned. People in New Jersey
think they're getting sick from the drones. The airports have
been closed, the drones have been flying over military bases.
They are flying in a grid pattern. There are hundreds
(14:42):
of them. They're big. They're not your Walmart, you know,
weekend flying drones. And this government has been horrific in
their response to it. And I'm going to give you
some examples of that. You heard this one in the open. Well, first,
why don't I do this one? So President Biden is
finally asked about the drones, and he gives this not
(15:02):
so reassuring response, Cup forty two from.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
All those drones over New herds, what's.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
The behind all of them? There's nothing the fair is apparently,
but they're checking it all out.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
They they get just.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
One because a lot of drones.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
Authorized up there.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
I think the one started and they all, guys, everybody's
wanting to get in the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh my god. Okay, so apparently meaning he has no idea,
which you know, even on a good day he doesn't.
And they all once started in the all with like
a swarm of bees. So they took off to the
drones sitting on the shelves at CBS decided, Hey, there's
a drone up, let's go out and play with the
other drunks. I mean that's a pathetic response. Now Here
(15:49):
is the Secretary of Transportation Pete Boudagig, who you know
is in charge of the FAA. The FAA is one
of his, is his administration, it's under him. So you
would think if anybody has a clue as to what
going on, it would be Pete Boodajgeg. And here he is,
and people are going, is this ours? Is this China's Iron's?
(16:10):
Is this? E t what is this? And so he
thought he'd go out and calm everybody down.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And this is what he said.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Cut seven B.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I mean no disrespect to New Jersey when I say that.
I think it's very unlikely that an alien invasion would begin.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
But.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Nobody I love New Jersey. I'm just saying I don't
think that's the kind of main point of entry that
an extra terrest unless there's something we don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Fair by the way, what do you mean fair enough?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What a jackass? He's not trying yes, no, he's not
trying to be funny. I saw the TV. He's not smiling,
he's not joking. They respond with a laugh because they
don't know what to do. But he's sitting there. He
was deadly serious. And he's the Secretary of Transportation. He
is not the guy on the corner Shecky Green, any
of the above. His job, and people are panicking. His
(17:03):
job is to say it's okay, we know what they are,
but none of that. Instead, he's belittling the people who
are afraid, and so are you because you're laughing about
to a degree.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Well, here's the thing. I'm gonna one better HP too.
I like the comment that the alien because he's talking
about the aliens, not not a Ran or anybody else.
Aliens are not going to invade New Jersey first. I
kind of agree with that. By the way, I also
would say, as I double down on his comment, I
think when aliens come here, they're probably not going to
come to the United States first either the whole country.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I don't know where they're going to go because I
don't think they can. I don't think they're here, but
they may not be. But something's here and people are
very distressed about it, including by the way, like here's
the Belleville, New Jersey Mayor Michael Melhem said, the drones
may be hunting something, perhaps radioactive material. Ten B.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
I think it's comforting because it's probably us listening and watching.
We also know that we have drones that are flying
in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they're looking
for something. What might they be looking for, Well, potentially
we're aware of a threat that came in through Port Nork.
Maybe that's radioactive material. There was and there is an
alert that's out right now that radioactive material in New
(18:13):
Jersey has gone missing on December second. It was a shipment,
it arrived at its destination, the container was damaged and
was empty.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
So there because that's very important information and that came
from a credible source.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
That came from the US government.
Speaker 14 (18:30):
And so it's missing, missing, and they think it's in
New Jersey or it could be anyway.
Speaker 13 (18:35):
It was lost in New Jersey in transit. And again,
this is just an example of what I think that
we're sniffing for. I think we do have the assets
that can go up and fly around and sniffing, which
is why we're not seeing the uptick we used to
see in Bellville anymore. It's kind of moving, but we're
seeing alerts that it's happening now in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So that's only one reason why this needs to be
taken seriously. There are multiple reasons why these could be
up there. But here's the problem. This is what our
federal government has said to us. Cut eleven.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
There's no question that people are seeing drones, and I
want to assure the American public that we in the
federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel technology to assist
the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.
Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones, some
(19:23):
are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones, and
we do see duplicative reporting, but there's no question that
drones are being cited. Let me set the record straight here, George.
There are thousands of drones flown every day in the
United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality.
(19:45):
And in September of twenty twenty three, the Federal Aviation
Administration the FAA change the rules so that drones could
fly at night, and that may be one of the
reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they
did before, or especially from dawn to dusk.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Now that's Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That is bull bleep.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
What he's doing is he's trying to make people think
that what they're seeing is as usual activity. It isn't.
It is above the usual activity, and that's why people
are alarmed. Even Chris Christy, who I'm no fan of,
came out we haven't seen him for months, came out
and said, what the bleep cut twelve.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
I've been traveling around New Jersey as I normally do
all week, and I can't tell you the number of
people have called up to me concerned about it, and
that is.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
This a mass hystary of some sort.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Well, here's why, George, because of answers like the secretary
just gave. They're not answering the questions.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Well, he said that they're monitoring it, they haven't seen
any unusual activity, and they need more authority.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let me say something.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
I agree that they need more authority, but to not
say that this is not that, to say this is
not unusual activity, it's just wrong. I lived in New
Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that
I've noticed drones over my house, and I was in
in a restaurant in Mammoth County on Friday night, had
people at the bar coming up to me and saying,
Governor Murphy won't tell me anything. The President won't tell
(21:08):
me anything. Do you know, Like, well, I don't know,
but I will tell you this. I think this is
what happens in our society now, George, when because we
were used to having things so rapidly. If you don't
fill that vacuum, then all the conspiracy theories get filled
in there.
Speaker 13 (21:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
That's why I'm mad at Peopudajig. He had an opportunity
to be serious. He was being serious by the way,
so I and to deal with people's fears. That is
his job, and he didn't do it. He just treated
everybody like they were garbage and it was a joke.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Well, it's the government, after all, and you would expect
things like this. This from the same government that allowed
a balloon to travel all the way across the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And that's why people are acut because they don't believe anything.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Here's all that really. Look.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
There may be some question about what some of these
drones are, I'll give them that, But here's the fact.
There's a fact. Fact Number one, drones are flying all
over the place. That's a fact. Now, there are only
a handful of drones.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
They could be one. They could be government. Two.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
They could be federally registered, you know, by businesses and organizations.
They could be unregistered by nitwit morons flying them from
their backyard, or they could be nefarious from some other
country or entity. So all the government has to do.
They may not know all the facts, and I like
when they stick.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
To the facts.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
But look, these things are registered. So if there's a
bunch of government drones flying, right, they come out and say, yeah,
last night, what you saw over your house was seventeen
government drones. We were looking for a missing person, or
we were looking for a radio active material, or we
were looking for et whatever. Just say that, they'd say,
Or we know that this was some television station was
(22:52):
flying their drones.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Because these registered ones, they should know who they are.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here's the thing, just tell us what you know.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And they're not telling us anything.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
They're just like, they're not telling us anything. One too,
they say, we don't know what they are, but they're
not dangerous. Well, how do you know if you don't
know what they are correct. And two, it's not seventeen drones,
it's hundreds. So this is why I'm saying, this is
why it's gotten so big. There are hundreds of these,
not just a few. It's not a boy scout troope
(23:19):
out with twenty let me finish with twenty CVS drones.
That's not what's happening. It is hundreds a huge, very
very expensive, technically advanced drones. It is either a foreign
entity wherever that may be, who's got people put them
together or get them here and fly them, or it
is the US government. It is not a commercial enterprise
(23:41):
because those people would have gone it's a sorry, but
it wasn't them. So it's either the US military, or
it's a foreign entity of whatever form. And I'm assuming
i'm talking about like China ran or you know, if
your mind goes to UFO's fine, but I'm saying it's
not ours. It's one of those two things, because they
are too big, too technologically advanced, too many of them
(24:04):
to be anything but a major operator's drones. And whoever
it is is not telling the American people. If it's
a foreign entity, I understand why, but the US governments
to come out and say we don't know, we'll figure
it out, you know. But they don't say, don't worry
about it, it's not ours, when in fact it could
be ours. Say this is why conspiracy to your point,
this is why conspiracy theorists take off. And now people
(24:27):
are envisioning ET. I don't think it's ET, but I
think it's something bad and it's either US military or
it's a foreign military and they're doing it. But you
know what, tell people, because all you're doing is creating
hysteria when we don't need it and demonstrating that there's
a vacuum of leadership in this country because this administration
is toothless when it comes to any kind of situation.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
By the way, I wasn't saying there were seventeen drones.
I don't know how many drones have been flying. My
point was that if they knew what seventeen of them were,
they could say those drones were this.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
We don't know what those were. Mean.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
You have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of drone sightings
and on a regular pass, actually tell hundreds and hundreds
of hundreds are getting.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
This particular group. They are big, they're flying in grid patterns.
They are, quote as the drone experts tell us, they're sniffing,
meaning they are searching for something. And they've been over
New York, they've been over New Jersey, they've been in Boston,
they've been over Atlanta, and they're also on the West coast.
So they are in Ohio over a military base right Patterson.
(25:29):
In fact, they had to deflect a MedFlight because of them.
So there is all sorts of reason why the US
government doesn't come out and go shoot one down, shoot
one freaking one down. If it's not yours, shoot it down.
If it is yours, tell us, and then we won't
shoot it down, and then we won't shoot it down.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Maybe they're all visiting for the holidays, that's why they're
all coming to these cities. Because I see a lot
out of state plates around here, so there could be
something like that. But no, seriously, though, so we know
there's a crap ton of drones. I don't know how
many you're up there, three thousand, two thousand and one
thousand tonight, tenty thousand, tomorrow night, who knows, But there's
there's a lot of drunes. We'll just we'll leave it
at that. But here's the thing. I believe they're not
(26:07):
all from some unknown place.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Nobody believes that.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
What I'm saying, though, is this, this is my point.
So okay, let's figure out the ones. We can figure out.
These guys in Boston who got arrested for flying one
year a logan, they're just it's not the point.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
They're just, but it is the point. The point is.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
We're not talking about those drones we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
We're not talking about I know that are.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
The thousand drones that are in the air and five
hundred are suspicious. We're not talking about that. I know that,
but we that's what you're referencing.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
No, I'm What I'm referencing is the fact that all
the drones in the sky, the government's saying, we don't
know what any of them are.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So tell us, hey, these five.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Hundreds true, the government has come out and said they're hobbyists,
they're commercial or whatever. Yeah, we know about them, but
we know about those. What we're talking about are the
ones that are flying in Unison doing a search pattern
over major cities and military bases. Those are the ones
that we're talking about, and those the ways of saying
don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
If you eliminate the impossible, then all that's left is
the possible. So if you if you say these drones
over here or not over here, you're not separating them
out in the sky. But if you go, hey, we
identified five hundred of them, but but these other thousand
we think are this or suit one down as you mentioned,
and then you can go, hey, this is made in China.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
So I'm not saying that the government's done anything right,
because God knows they haven't. But I think they're not
telling us about any of them. Therefore it enhances people's,
as you said, conspiracy theories. So if there's if there's
Iranian ones or Chinese ones or whatever, let's get rid
of them. And if there's a holes flying them to
(27:44):
be a holes, well we got to take care of
that problem too.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
True enough, So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
I mean, I look, the government hasn't told us almost
anything about anything in regarding.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Anything these drones, right right, except again except.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
They're gaslighting us and saying everything's fine. And some of
them are. Man, Okay, I'm not talking about the Boeing
seven twenty seven over there.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
That wasn't my cane.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I was concerned about the ones that are flying in
a grid pattern over my backyard. Those are the ones
that I'm concernered, so and they're making you feel stupid
for questioning, and they're trying to put them all together, saying, oh,
there's thousands that I know there are. Those aren't the
ones I'm worried about. We all know about the hobbyist drones.
We all know about the commercial drones. We all know
about little Fred over there who likes to play, you know,
(28:27):
with his dad in the yard with a drunk. That's
not what we're talking about. And here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
They know.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's not what we're talking about, and they're not responding
to the question.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
And that's what's happening.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
And the grid pattern, hundreds of them whatever that are
flying over wherever, those are the ones that they should
target too with a missile and bring it down.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
And by the way, you see.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
The sheriff out there trying to shoot it down with
this pistol. I'm like, you know, that's why he was
a little too low. But I'm just like, oh, well,
at least he's trying, you know, And.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
What they should do, you know, what they should do
in order to get the drones out of the sky,
the government should launch all their drones and we'd have
tens of thousands of drones. It would be it would
look like it would look like a miniature Star Wars
scene up there with people firing at each other.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Do you want to do something very disconcerting? New Jersey
Mayor Michael Mellum and Belleville said the state told him
that if he shot one down, then you needed Well,
I'll let you can hear it yourself. Cut number thirteen on.
Speaker 13 (29:18):
The way here. It was on the phone with my
OEM team. And we now have guidance coming from the state,
and that guidance does say two different things. First of all,
there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we are
immediately to call the bomb squad of our county. And second,
our fire department has been instructed to make sure they
wear hazmat suits.
Speaker 15 (29:35):
So if something falls out of the sky that people
have seen, and some of these things are as big
as an suv, if that happens, you're to treat this
more than a plane crash. It's treated like an attack
on the homeland.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
That is correct, because they're not quite sure if there's
a payload or not.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
That is so oh my god, weirdly, bizarrely crazy, insane.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Because unless the US government, they knows what they are,
and maybe they are US military, and maybe they just
don't want to tell us, and that's the problem. Tell
us if they're yours, okay, there ares well, you know,
have at it. If they're not ours, tell us, But
to tell us, don't worry. There's no public safety. But
by the way, call has mad, a F one lands and.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
The bomb squad in.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You got it. This is why this has been so bad.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
That a woman made it a very interesting point. When
a plane crashes into a city or a house or
a neighborhood or whatever, you never know why it did
at first. So it's like, hey, there's a plane crash
in that neighborhood. We never wear has maat suits. We
don't know what was on that plane. Maybe somebody crashed
it there to let off a radioactive device. But now
we have to do that with with drones that, by
(30:46):
the way, aren't harmful.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You know, the only person that I know that has
actually given a reasonable response to this, he no President Trump.
Actually he was asked about it. Cut five.
Speaker 16 (30:56):
They know where it came from and where it went,
and for some reason they don't want to comment, and
I think they'd be better of saying what it is.
Our military knows and our president knows, and for some
reason they want to keep people in suspense.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah. And by the way, this is a man who
gets security briefings because he's the next president, so he's like,
they know, they just don't want to tell you.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I understand some things would be top secretor things that
they're looking into, but you got to at least get give.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
People Turnpike, I think you got to fess up.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Give it right.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Well, at least at least you don't have to maybe
fess up completely if there's some top secret stuff. But
what you do have to do is you have to
tell people enough stuff so they don't build conspiracy theories
out of.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
A man a vacuum that it creates panic and then
these horrible There's.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
A lot of things we don't get told everything about.
But at least we're kind.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Of fee my backyard. You better tell me, yeah, because
I'm going to see it. And that's that's the problem.
By the way, they have no respect for us at all.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
If drones this is an important question. I think for
all of us, if drones are flying over our houses,
in our neighborhoods, do we only to get has mat suits.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I'm going to go to home DEEPO and get one
on my way.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
What happens if one of those things sometime in my background?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Now I'm worried. I was fine before, but now you've
made me worried.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
You should be worried, everybody. All I went for Christmas
is a hazmat suit.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Stand. It will put one in your stocking. So we
usually end every week with the Bidenism, and our time
of being able to do that is fast coming to
an end, so we need to get them in. This
is just a little moment between President Biden and Vice
President soon not to be anything. Kamala Harris cut number
sixteen A.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
It's also been a credible honor to serve with someone
of immense character, as she demonstrated through her entire career.
Kamala Harris, I.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Knew what I was.
Speaker 11 (32:51):
Don't ask her to be my vice president. I knew her,
I knew of her, I knew about her, I knew
her record. I trusted her. She'll always served this country
a purpose and in.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Tech and she always will.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
And you're not going anywhere a kid, because we're not
gonna let you go.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Integrity. Right until she kicked Joe Biden in the you
know what and took his place on the Democratic ticket.
And I think she's gone somewhere. I think he's going
home to California. I hope we never see her again,
by the.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Way, not for nothing and politics aside. You know, of
course I'm speaking from my brain, not her brain. But
you know, you've done all this stuff. You became vice president,
you tried to be president, you got kicked down the stairs. Yeah,
maybe it is time to just go home and get
a job or a speaking engagement or something. Yeah, whatever,
I mean, that's I mean, that's what I would do,
(33:40):
because at this point she's kind of no offense, but
she's kind of damn it's good, yeah, And so you
kind of feel like, Okay, look, we gave it the
best shot, you know, with the old college try. We
had a hell of a career, good run being Joe,
and I couldn't get the presidency. And now the only
thing I'm gonna do is be a lightning rod. So
I'm gonna go speak at colleges or organizations fifty thousand
(34:00):
bucks a whack.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Meanwhile, this is an example of the bullet that we
dodged when she did not win. It looks like she's been,
you know, drinking and giving speeches. Cut thirteen A.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
So I will say this as we close out this year,
I ask of you this, that those here and anyone watching,
that you will not walk away, that you will stay
true to your spirit and your sense of purpose, that
(34:40):
you will continue to fight for the promise of America.
And I ask you to remember the context in which
you exist.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, I did that.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
What the hell does that mean?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
By the way, more importantly, I heard her say that,
and I said, but then at the end, when she's laughing,
I kind of feel like, would you like to sit
between her and Hillary Clinton at a comedy show?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I would not, Holy smokes, I would not even close
even close to it. But you know I was going
to say, you know, to to Kamala Harris, here's your hat?
What's your hurry? I mean, seriously, it's I can't I
can't wait until now. I'm not saying that the new
administration is going to be perfect or that I won't
did I agree with everything that they do, not even close.
(35:40):
But this particular group has been so offensive and treating
us like we are we are beneath contempt and are
stupid and why to us left and right and or
don't tell us anything?
Speaker 11 (35:53):
They are.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
They are jackasses, every single one of them. And I
am not sorry to see them go.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
My problem is I beneath contemp. But how do they know?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's a good point. That's a very good point. If
you want to tell Ben where I should go, where
he should go, you can contact us on x at
news Byte three or on Facebook at Newsbite. We upload
a new episode every single Monday, so check back next
week and see what new offerings we have. Meanwhile, we
(36:21):
hope you have a lovely holiday. I'm Nancy Shack.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
Two words has Matt Suit. I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
This is Newsbite.
The Great Drone Dilemma continues. To the media's horror, Trump
went to a big victory and in Wisconsin Sheriff jumps
awoke Shark. The times there are changing, which you'll definitely
hear on this week's Did they really just say that?
Audio clips? I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is newspite.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I mean no disrespect in your jersey when I say that.
I think it's very unlikely that an alien invasion would begin.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Watch him out.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
What George Sethanopholis said in that interview.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean it.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Seems to hold up of what the judge said after
the back and now he's a news organization and himself,
Georgepanopolis himself is paying a million dollars of his own money.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
So whether or not she was, he was they were
transgender is something that may come out later, but for
or what we're doing right now today, literally eight hours
after a mass shooting in a school in Madison, it
is of no consequence at this time.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And there you have.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, that was Madison Chief of Belief Sean Barnes, and
I like him.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I think he's to the point.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
I mean, I don't necessarily know enough about him that
you know, sometimes you get these newsmakers and you go, hey,
I kind of like him, but you don't know anything
about him. It's just you see him for five minutes
out of their whole life.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But yeah, nonetheless, it looks like that, Well, he looks
like a decent guy and he was dealing with a
very horrific situation. There was a school shooting. But here's
my issue. Okay, okay, so what you heard and we'll
play the full cup for you. What you heard? So
it's it's you know, less than a day from the shooting,
and horrible shooting, school shooting, a student kills three people,
(01:55):
including herself, and so people, what the hell it's a
Christian school, Well what the hell happened? What's the mode
of what's going on? And somebody, a reporter raised the question, well,
it looks there is something going on on social media
saying that she was trans, and there have been a
spate of trans shooters lately, leading to people to wonder
(02:17):
if there is a psychological issue. As you know, my
personal feeling is that if you you can take any
group of shooters and find something in common with them,
and it doesn't mean everybody in that group has a problem,
but you don't ignore it. You have to find out
what's going on. And that's what the question was. And
the Madison police chief seemed to be more concerned with
(02:38):
being woke and stopping the discussion than he did about
trying to get to the bottom of why this happened.
Cut twenty two A.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So whether or not she was, he was they were
transgender is something that may come out later. But for
what we're doing right now today, literally eight hours after
a mass shooting in a school in Madison, it is
of no consequence at this time, and so I would
encourage people to be responsible with your social media. I
(03:09):
won't go into some of the things that I've seen
on social media that quite frankly, are incorrect, that that
are not true, that are just not helping at all,
And I choose not to breathe.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Life into that.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
By the way, I know, sometimes we don't see eyed
eye on things, you and I, and we don't we
disagree sometimes I'm not really offended by by what he
said there, and I kind of agree that, Look, you
got to find out for sure, and there's an investigator.
I mean, you know, the biggest thing is that there's
dead people.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And nobody's arguing with that.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
And I'm going to say this.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Anybody who walks into a school or a shopping mall,
or a post office or a business or whatever it
opens fire and kills people has a mental issue.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I don't know what it is. It doesn't have to
be trans.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Anybody who kills somebody, right, was there bullying going on something?
The motive, I agree with you, the most important is
people dead, but the reason why they're dead is also
of paramount importance. It's not just oh, by the way,
it's a huge thing. So for him to shut down
the discussion before we know anything is I think you're
(04:16):
responsible in that particular moment. And I like him, but
in that particular moment, he was more concerned with being
woke than he was concerned with getting information out there
to people. How about just saying we don't know yet
if her being trans or if she was trans, or
if her being trans had anything to do with We
just don't know. That would be an acceptable response. Now,
(04:39):
how dare you ask the question that's different and it
does have something to do with what happened, because it
has to do with her makeup and what happened with her,
just the way any background of any shooter, I don't
care if it's if it's about their sexuality, I don't
care if it's about their religion. I don't care if
it's about you know, their medical condition, what. Whatever it
(05:00):
is has a bearing when they've just killed multiple people, and.
Speaker 7 (05:04):
Answers obviously will come. And every time there's a shooting
of any kind, there's always a time frame, like it's
not like, hey, somebody shot somebody all of a sudden,
we know why. So he did say, and I give
him credit for this too. It's only eight hours after, right,
this is not like six weeks later and we still
don't know crap about crap.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So I am with him on.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The time. Thing has to do with Okay, we don't
know yet, gotcha. But to say don't ask it is
a completely different thing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
You may have mistake a bit.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, I think that is over the top saying don't
ask the question. Bleep. You you're the sheriff. You're there
to find out. I'm telling you what I want to know,
and if you can't find it, okay, tell me you
don't know yet, but don't tell me. Don't ask the question.
And that's what he was doing.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Again.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
I think we don't see quite eyde eye on it,
but I think that the answers will come out. They
and they'll come out either through a true and investigation,
or they'll come out because mom will come out and
say something, or a sister or brother or cousin or
friend or whatever. We'll say, yeah, they're this and they
were getting bullied. So we'll find out will I don't
know how quickly we needed to find out.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
You're right. I mean, he could have said it better,
I think is more.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
He could have not shut down the discussion, and that's
what he did.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Again. I'd have to just say we don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, And again, like I said, I don't know boo
about this guy until this shooting happened, and probably soon
enough we won't know boo about this guy again. So
I need to have a bigger picture of him to
know whether he's woke or he's this or that.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know if he's woke, but I do know
he's shut down the discussion and that was inappropriate to
me in any event. From one of the big stories
that came out this week and talk about unbalancing people
and making them a little crazy. Donald Trump won a
big settlement this week. He did it and he didn't
have to go to court to do it. ABC cried uncle,
(06:50):
it was a defamation lawsuit against ABC for something George
Stephanopoulos said in an interview with Nancy Mace earlier this year.
We actually had the cuts from this year and the Mason.
I want to play one of them for you because
this is the moment that George put his foot in it.
This is George Stephanopolis on ABC with Nancy Mays talking
(07:12):
about rape. Cut forty three B.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Doris Donald Trump for President right. Donald Trump has been
found liable for rape by a jury. Donald Trump has
been found liable for defaming the victim of that rape
by a jury. It's been affirmed by a judge.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
It was not a criminal court case.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Number one, Number two. I live with shame, and you're
asking me a question about my political choices, trying to
shame me as a rape victim, and I find it
disgusting and quite frankly, Egene Carroll's comments when she did
get the judgment, joking about what she was going to buy.
It doesn't it makes it harder for women to come
forward when they make a mockery out of rape when
(07:51):
they joke about it. I completely agree with Nancy Mays
in that particular instance, and so what he was referring to,
of course, was the fact that Nancy Mesa come out
to support Donald Trump for president and George Stefanopplas said
he's been found libel for ripe. He was never found
lible for ripe. He was never accused of rape. He
was found civilly libel for sexual abuse, which is still
(08:15):
many people say that was a horrific trial, but okay,
and he he landed a big judgment for it. He
was against him for it, and that's the facts of
the case. But George Stephanopolos overspoke and doubled down on
it multiple times, so it came back at her multiple
times in that interview. Was actually obnoxious. But ABC knew
(08:35):
he had leaped up big time first body essentially putting
out there that Donald Trump was a rapist. And of
course George Stephanopolis is on the opposing side of Donald
Trump on the political spectrum, so it was I think
he thought all was fair in love and elections, and
there he goes. But ABC knew it was so bad
that they did not go to trial. They wrote a check.
(08:57):
They wrote a check for sixteen mension dollars to Trump,
who is giving it to He's not keeping it, He's
actually giving it to I think part of it goes
to rape victims, and part of it goes to his library,
but his presidential library. But here's the thing. That settlement
(09:20):
has really discombobulated mainstream media. They are now horrified that
they could be held accountable for lives for what they say.
I know. So here is Simone Sanders on MSNBC. This
is what you hear in the intro. She's reacting to
this settlement, and she is furious and she puts her
(09:40):
foot in it like I have not seen very much lately.
Cut twelve A. The press is in a difficult position.
Everyone understands that that doesn't change the obligation to be
straightforward and objective when it comes to Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I would just say, I mean, this feels like it
has a real chilling effect. Like I mean, shout out
to the standards department. Okay, standards is all is making
sure that we are keeping the bar high and substance
of inaccurate. But what George Stefanopolis said in that interview.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I mean it.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Seems to hold up of what the judge said after
the bat and now he's a news organization and himself,
Georgepanopolis himself is paying a million dollars of his own
money to the lawyers and ABC fifteen million dollars. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, and get out your checkbook, Simone and MSNBC, because
you just repeated the slander that won Donald truck Donald
Trump the sixteen million dollars. To say it holds up
is the same thing as saying it was true. Yeah,
you jackass. Why he's just stepped in it.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
I think some in the media and Stephanopolis probably did this.
I don't know what he was thinking at the time,
but almost like their their opinions get slips mixed up
with fact. And so maybe Stephanopoulos wanted Trump to have
been convicted of that. Maybe he thought he is a
really bad person. By the way, to say I don't
(11:01):
like this person is one thing to make up lies
or to say things that aren't true, for example.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And I know it gets confusing because he did go
to court.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
He was found that he had to pay this money, right,
so people get their minds get confused, just like look,
O J. Simpson, who's gone now was found not guilty
of murder, but he was found liable in a civil
suit in court. But he's still not a murderer as
far as.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
The law is concerned.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
So Donald Trump may have had to pay this money
to eg and Carroll, but he's not a rapist as
far as the law is concerned. And Stephanopoulos, I think,
maybe got his facts confused and wanted Trump to be
a rapist so badly that he just started injecting that
into conversation.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I agree with that. I think that's a really good
analysis of the situation. With a minor exception. I don't
think George Sephanopolis gets confused. I think that he knew
exactly what he was saying, and I think he said
it regardless because he didn't think he would be held
to account.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
That's what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Well, that makes it didn't think he would be held
accounting right above everything. Yes, well that it's not just him,
because that comes out with Simone Sanders saying a chilling effect.
Now the press is going to be held accountable. Yes,
the press is always held you remember the press, Yes,
you you're held accountable for telling the truth. You're not
(12:21):
allowed to make crap up and put it out there
is the truth, and that's what she doesn't want to
have stopped. She's just like, well, now we can't say
whatever you want to say. You've never been able to
say whatever it is you want to be saying. You're
The point is you have to tell the truth. You can.
You can give your opinion, but stating somebody as a
rapist is not your opinion.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
You can say what you want to say as long
as it's not a bold faced lie, standing right that
slandered someone.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
So yeah, I mean that. Look, the media.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Should always be careful of what they say because they
shouldn't be telling lies about anybody. First of all, you
shouldn't be telling lies about anybody. But certainly, and I
don't really want to qualify it, but look, this is
the president slash President elect slash former president of the
United States.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
People are going to notice if you lie about him.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Nobody's going to give a rats fart if somebody lies
about me, you really, I mean in theory, so the
media can't lie about anybody, but you certainly can't be
thrown out lies and misspeaks about people that we're going
to notice I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Really exactly right, no, exactly right now. You would think
that would be the biggest story of the week. And
in a lot of weeks it would have been. There
would have been that's a that's a huge deal, but
not this week.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
They flew by the way it really And when I
heard the story and I, you know, obviously I follow
the news as much as I can, the whole thing
kind of flew under the radar until I heard about it.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
I was like, it was a suit. I was trying
to think. I'm like, did I know that? Because it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Really.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Well, you did, because you're you're even more deep into
that stuff than I am. But I kind of felt
like the whole suit didn't get heavy play.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You're so right, it didn't. It got heavy play on
conservative news outlets, but not on.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
The New quote unquote news now, the network.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
News, or in the mainstream media news. Basically no, but
it was not the biggest story of the week, because
the biggest story of the week is still is still
the drone.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Speaking of flying under the radar, that.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Was good, that was very very good. The government has
been horrific and responding to what's going on with these drones.
People are worried. They're very concerned. People in New Jersey
think they're getting sick from the drones. The airports have
been closed, the drones have been flying over military bases.
They are flying in a grid pattern. There are hundreds
(14:42):
of them. They're big. They're not your Walmart, you know,
weekend flying drones. And this government has been horrific in
their response to it. And I'm going to give you
some examples of that. You heard this one in the open. Well, first,
why don't I do this one? So President Biden is
finally asked about the drones, and he gives this not
(15:02):
so reassuring response, Cup forty two from.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
All those drones over New herds, what's.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
The behind all of them? There's nothing the fair is apparently,
but they're checking it all out.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
They they get just.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
One because a lot of drones.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
Authorized up there.
Speaker 11 (15:23):
I think the one started and they all, guys, everybody's
wanting to get in the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh my god. Okay, so apparently meaning he has no idea,
which you know, even on a good day he doesn't.
And they all once started in the all with like
a swarm of bees. So they took off to the
drones sitting on the shelves at CBS decided, Hey, there's
a drone up, let's go out and play with the
other drunks. I mean that's a pathetic response. Now Here
(15:49):
is the Secretary of Transportation Pete Boudagig, who you know
is in charge of the FAA. The FAA is one
of his, is his administration, it's under him. So you
would think if anybody has a clue as to what
going on, it would be Pete Boodajgeg. And here he is,
and people are going, is this ours? Is this China's Iron's?
(16:10):
Is this? E t what is this? And so he
thought he'd go out and calm everybody down.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And this is what he said.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Cut seven B.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I mean no disrespect to New Jersey when I say that.
I think it's very unlikely that an alien invasion would begin.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
But.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Nobody I love New Jersey. I'm just saying I don't
think that's the kind of main point of entry that
an extra terrest unless there's something we don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Fair by the way, what do you mean fair enough?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What a jackass? He's not trying yes, no, he's not
trying to be funny. I saw the TV. He's not smiling,
he's not joking. They respond with a laugh because they
don't know what to do. But he's sitting there. He
was deadly serious. And he's the Secretary of Transportation. He
is not the guy on the corner Shecky Green, any
of the above. His job, and people are panicking. His
(17:03):
job is to say it's okay, we know what they are,
but none of that. Instead, he's belittling the people who
are afraid, and so are you because you're laughing about
to a degree.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Well, here's the thing. I'm gonna one better HP too.
I like the comment that the alien because he's talking
about the aliens, not not a Ran or anybody else.
Aliens are not going to invade New Jersey first. I
kind of agree with that. By the way, I also
would say, as I double down on his comment, I
think when aliens come here, they're probably not going to
come to the United States first either the whole country.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I don't know where they're going to go because I
don't think they can. I don't think they're here, but
they may not be. But something's here and people are
very distressed about it, including by the way, like here's
the Belleville, New Jersey Mayor Michael Melhem said, the drones
may be hunting something, perhaps radioactive material. Ten B.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
I think it's comforting because it's probably us listening and watching.
We also know that we have drones that are flying
in a grid like pattern. In my opinion, they're looking
for something. What might they be looking for, Well, potentially
we're aware of a threat that came in through Port Nork.
Maybe that's radioactive material. There was and there is an
alert that's out right now that radioactive material in New
(18:13):
Jersey has gone missing on December second. It was a shipment,
it arrived at its destination, the container was damaged and
was empty.
Speaker 14 (18:21):
So there because that's very important information and that came
from a credible source.
Speaker 13 (18:28):
That came from the US government.
Speaker 14 (18:30):
And so it's missing, missing, and they think it's in
New Jersey or it could be anyway.
Speaker 13 (18:35):
It was lost in New Jersey in transit. And again,
this is just an example of what I think that
we're sniffing for. I think we do have the assets
that can go up and fly around and sniffing, which
is why we're not seeing the uptick we used to
see in Bellville anymore. It's kind of moving, but we're
seeing alerts that it's happening now in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So that's only one reason why this needs to be
taken seriously. There are multiple reasons why these could be
up there. But here's the problem. This is what our
federal government has said to us. Cut eleven.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
There's no question that people are seeing drones, and I
want to assure the American public that we in the
federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel technology to assist
the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.
Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones, some
(19:23):
are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones, and
we do see duplicative reporting, but there's no question that
drones are being cited. Let me set the record straight here, George.
There are thousands of drones flown every day in the
United States, recreational drones, commercial drones. That is the reality.
(19:45):
And in September of twenty twenty three, the Federal Aviation
Administration the FAA change the rules so that drones could
fly at night, and that may be one of the
reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they
did before, or especially from dawn to dusk.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Now that's Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That is bull bleep.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
What he's doing is he's trying to make people think
that what they're seeing is as usual activity. It isn't.
It is above the usual activity, and that's why people
are alarmed. Even Chris Christy, who I'm no fan of,
came out we haven't seen him for months, came out
and said, what the bleep cut twelve.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
I've been traveling around New Jersey as I normally do
all week, and I can't tell you the number of
people have called up to me concerned about it, and
that is.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
This a mass hystary of some sort.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Well, here's why, George, because of answers like the secretary
just gave. They're not answering the questions.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Well, he said that they're monitoring it, they haven't seen
any unusual activity, and they need more authority.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Let me say something.
Speaker 10 (20:47):
I agree that they need more authority, but to not
say that this is not that, to say this is
not unusual activity, it's just wrong. I lived in New
Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that
I've noticed drones over my house, and I was in
in a restaurant in Mammoth County on Friday night, had
people at the bar coming up to me and saying,
Governor Murphy won't tell me anything. The President won't tell
(21:08):
me anything. Do you know, Like, well, I don't know,
but I will tell you this. I think this is
what happens in our society now, George, when because we
were used to having things so rapidly. If you don't
fill that vacuum, then all the conspiracy theories get filled
in there.
Speaker 13 (21:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
That's why I'm mad at Peopudajig. He had an opportunity
to be serious. He was being serious by the way,
so I and to deal with people's fears. That is
his job, and he didn't do it. He just treated
everybody like they were garbage and it was a joke.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Well, it's the government, after all, and you would expect
things like this. This from the same government that allowed
a balloon to travel all the way across the United States.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And that's why people are acut because they don't believe anything.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Here's all that really. Look.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
There may be some question about what some of these
drones are, I'll give them that, But here's the fact.
There's a fact. Fact Number one, drones are flying all
over the place. That's a fact. Now, there are only
a handful of drones.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
They could be one. They could be government. Two.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
They could be federally registered, you know, by businesses and organizations.
They could be unregistered by nitwit morons flying them from
their backyard, or they could be nefarious from some other
country or entity. So all the government has to do.
They may not know all the facts, and I like
when they stick.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
To the facts.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
But look, these things are registered. So if there's a
bunch of government drones flying, right, they come out and say, yeah,
last night, what you saw over your house was seventeen
government drones. We were looking for a missing person, or
we were looking for a radio active material, or we
were looking for et whatever. Just say that, they'd say,
Or we know that this was some television station was
(22:52):
flying their drones.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Because these registered ones, they should know who they are.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here's the thing, just tell us what you know.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And they're not telling us anything.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
They're just like, they're not telling us anything. One too,
they say, we don't know what they are, but they're
not dangerous. Well, how do you know if you don't
know what they are correct. And two, it's not seventeen drones,
it's hundreds. So this is why I'm saying, this is
why it's gotten so big. There are hundreds of these,
not just a few. It's not a boy scout troope
(23:19):
out with twenty let me finish with twenty CVS drones.
That's not what's happening. It is hundreds a huge, very
very expensive, technically advanced drones. It is either a foreign
entity wherever that may be, who's got people put them
together or get them here and fly them, or it
is the US government. It is not a commercial enterprise
(23:41):
because those people would have gone it's a sorry, but
it wasn't them. So it's either the US military, or
it's a foreign entity of whatever form. And I'm assuming
i'm talking about like China ran or you know, if
your mind goes to UFO's fine, but I'm saying it's
not ours. It's one of those two things, because they
are too big, too technologically advanced, too many of them
(24:04):
to be anything but a major operator's drones. And whoever
it is is not telling the American people. If it's
a foreign entity, I understand why, but the US governments
to come out and say we don't know, we'll figure
it out, you know. But they don't say, don't worry
about it, it's not ours, when in fact it could
be ours. Say this is why conspiracy to your point,
this is why conspiracy theorists take off. And now people
(24:27):
are envisioning ET. I don't think it's ET, but I
think it's something bad and it's either US military or
it's a foreign military and they're doing it. But you
know what, tell people, because all you're doing is creating
hysteria when we don't need it and demonstrating that there's
a vacuum of leadership in this country because this administration
is toothless when it comes to any kind of situation.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
By the way, I wasn't saying there were seventeen drones.
I don't know how many drones have been flying. My
point was that if they knew what seventeen of them were,
they could say those drones were this.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
We don't know what those were. Mean.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
You have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of drone sightings
and on a regular pass, actually tell hundreds and hundreds
of hundreds are getting.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
This particular group. They are big, they're flying in grid patterns.
They are, quote as the drone experts tell us, they're sniffing,
meaning they are searching for something. And they've been over
New York, they've been over New Jersey, they've been in Boston,
they've been over Atlanta, and they're also on the West coast.
So they are in Ohio over a military base right Patterson.
(25:29):
In fact, they had to deflect a MedFlight because of them.
So there is all sorts of reason why the US
government doesn't come out and go shoot one down, shoot
one freaking one down. If it's not yours, shoot it down.
If it is yours, tell us, and then we won't
shoot it down, and then we won't shoot it down.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Maybe they're all visiting for the holidays, that's why they're
all coming to these cities. Because I see a lot
out of state plates around here, so there could be
something like that. But no, seriously, though, so we know
there's a crap ton of drones. I don't know how
many you're up there, three thousand, two thousand and one
thousand tonight, tenty thousand, tomorrow night, who knows, But there's
there's a lot of drunes. We'll just we'll leave it
at that. But here's the thing. I believe they're not
(26:07):
all from some unknown place.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Nobody believes that.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
What I'm saying, though, is this, this is my point.
So okay, let's figure out the ones. We can figure out.
These guys in Boston who got arrested for flying one
year a logan, they're just it's not the point.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
They're just, but it is the point. The point is.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
We're not talking about those drones we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
We're not talking about I know that are.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
The thousand drones that are in the air and five
hundred are suspicious. We're not talking about that. I know that,
but we that's what you're referencing.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
No, I'm What I'm referencing is the fact that all
the drones in the sky, the government's saying, we don't
know what any of them are.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
So tell us, hey, these five.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Hundreds true, the government has come out and said they're hobbyists,
they're commercial or whatever. Yeah, we know about them, but
we know about those. What we're talking about are the
ones that are flying in Unison doing a search pattern
over major cities and military bases. Those are the ones
that we're talking about, and those the ways of saying
don't worry about it.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
If you eliminate the impossible, then all that's left is
the possible. So if you if you say these drones
over here or not over here, you're not separating them
out in the sky. But if you go, hey, we
identified five hundred of them, but but these other thousand
we think are this or suit one down as you mentioned,
and then you can go, hey, this is made in China.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
So I'm not saying that the government's done anything right,
because God knows they haven't. But I think they're not
telling us about any of them. Therefore it enhances people's,
as you said, conspiracy theories. So if there's if there's
Iranian ones or Chinese ones or whatever, let's get rid
of them. And if there's a holes flying them to
(27:44):
be a holes, well we got to take care of
that problem too.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
True enough, So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
I mean, I look, the government hasn't told us almost
anything about anything in regarding.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Anything these drones, right right, except again except.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
They're gaslighting us and saying everything's fine. And some of
them are. Man, Okay, I'm not talking about the Boeing
seven twenty seven over there.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
That wasn't my cane.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I was concerned about the ones that are flying in
a grid pattern over my backyard. Those are the ones
that I'm concernered, so and they're making you feel stupid
for questioning, and they're trying to put them all together, saying, oh,
there's thousands that I know there are. Those aren't the
ones I'm worried about. We all know about the hobbyist drones.
We all know about the commercial drones. We all know
about little Fred over there who likes to play, you know,
(28:27):
with his dad in the yard with a drunk. That's
not what we're talking about. And here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
They know.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's not what we're talking about, and they're not responding
to the question.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
And that's what's happening.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
And the grid pattern, hundreds of them whatever that are
flying over wherever, those are the ones that they should
target too with a missile and bring it down.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
And by the way, you see.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
The sheriff out there trying to shoot it down with
this pistol. I'm like, you know, that's why he was
a little too low. But I'm just like, oh, well,
at least he's trying, you know, And.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
What they should do, you know, what they should do
in order to get the drones out of the sky,
the government should launch all their drones and we'd have
tens of thousands of drones. It would be it would
look like it would look like a miniature Star Wars
scene up there with people firing at each other.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Do you want to do something very disconcerting? New Jersey
Mayor Michael Mellum and Belleville said the state told him
that if he shot one down, then you needed Well,
I'll let you can hear it yourself. Cut number thirteen on.
Speaker 13 (29:18):
The way here. It was on the phone with my
OEM team. And we now have guidance coming from the state,
and that guidance does say two different things. First of all,
there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we are
immediately to call the bomb squad of our county. And second,
our fire department has been instructed to make sure they
wear hazmat suits.
Speaker 15 (29:35):
So if something falls out of the sky that people
have seen, and some of these things are as big
as an suv, if that happens, you're to treat this
more than a plane crash. It's treated like an attack
on the homeland.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
That is correct, because they're not quite sure if there's
a payload or not.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
That is so oh my god, weirdly, bizarrely crazy, insane.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Because unless the US government, they knows what they are,
and maybe they are US military, and maybe they just
don't want to tell us, and that's the problem. Tell
us if they're yours, okay, there ares well, you know,
have at it. If they're not ours, tell us, But
to tell us, don't worry. There's no public safety. But
by the way, call has mad, a F one lands and.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
The bomb squad in.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You got it. This is why this has been so bad.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
That a woman made it a very interesting point. When
a plane crashes into a city or a house or
a neighborhood or whatever, you never know why it did
at first. So it's like, hey, there's a plane crash
in that neighborhood. We never wear has maat suits. We
don't know what was on that plane. Maybe somebody crashed
it there to let off a radioactive device. But now
we have to do that with with drones that, by
(30:46):
the way, aren't harmful.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You know, the only person that I know that has
actually given a reasonable response to this, he no President Trump.
Actually he was asked about it. Cut five.
Speaker 16 (30:56):
They know where it came from and where it went,
and for some reason they don't want to comment, and
I think they'd be better of saying what it is.
Our military knows and our president knows, and for some
reason they want to keep people in suspense.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah. And by the way, this is a man who
gets security briefings because he's the next president, so he's like,
they know, they just don't want to tell you.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I understand some things would be top secretor things that
they're looking into, but you got to at least get give.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
People Turnpike, I think you got to fess up.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Give it right.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Well, at least at least you don't have to maybe
fess up completely if there's some top secret stuff. But
what you do have to do is you have to
tell people enough stuff so they don't build conspiracy theories
out of.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
A man a vacuum that it creates panic and then
these horrible There's.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
A lot of things we don't get told everything about.
But at least we're kind.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Of fee my backyard. You better tell me, yeah, because
I'm going to see it. And that's that's the problem.
By the way, they have no respect for us at all.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
If drones this is an important question. I think for
all of us, if drones are flying over our houses,
in our neighborhoods, do we only to get has mat suits.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I'm going to go to home DEEPO and get one
on my way.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
What happens if one of those things sometime in my background?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Now I'm worried. I was fine before, but now you've
made me worried.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
You should be worried, everybody. All I went for Christmas
is a hazmat suit.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Stand. It will put one in your stocking. So we
usually end every week with the Bidenism, and our time
of being able to do that is fast coming to
an end, so we need to get them in. This
is just a little moment between President Biden and Vice
President soon not to be anything. Kamala Harris cut number
sixteen A.
Speaker 11 (32:37):
It's also been a credible honor to serve with someone
of immense character, as she demonstrated through her entire career.
Kamala Harris, I.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Knew what I was.
Speaker 11 (32:51):
Don't ask her to be my vice president. I knew her,
I knew of her, I knew about her, I knew
her record. I trusted her. She'll always served this country
a purpose and in.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Tech and she always will.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
And you're not going anywhere a kid, because we're not
gonna let you go.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Integrity. Right until she kicked Joe Biden in the you
know what and took his place on the Democratic ticket.
And I think she's gone somewhere. I think he's going
home to California. I hope we never see her again,
by the.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Way, not for nothing and politics aside. You know, of
course I'm speaking from my brain, not her brain. But
you know, you've done all this stuff. You became vice president,
you tried to be president, you got kicked down the stairs. Yeah,
maybe it is time to just go home and get
a job or a speaking engagement or something. Yeah, whatever,
I mean, that's I mean, that's what I would do,
(33:40):
because at this point she's kind of no offense, but
she's kind of damn it's good, yeah, And so you
kind of feel like, Okay, look, we gave it the
best shot, you know, with the old college try. We
had a hell of a career, good run being Joe,
and I couldn't get the presidency. And now the only
thing I'm gonna do is be a lightning rod. So
I'm gonna go speak at colleges or organizations fifty thousand
(34:00):
bucks a whack.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Meanwhile, this is an example of the bullet that we
dodged when she did not win. It looks like she's been,
you know, drinking and giving speeches. Cut thirteen A.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
So I will say this as we close out this year,
I ask of you this, that those here and anyone watching,
that you will not walk away, that you will stay
true to your spirit and your sense of purpose, that
(34:40):
you will continue to fight for the promise of America.
And I ask you to remember the context in which
you exist.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, I did that.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
What the hell does that mean?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
By the way, more importantly, I heard her say that,
and I said, but then at the end, when she's laughing,
I kind of feel like, would you like to sit
between her and Hillary Clinton at a comedy show?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I would not, Holy smokes, I would not even close
even close to it. But you know I was going
to say, you know, to to Kamala Harris, here's your hat?
What's your hurry? I mean, seriously, it's I can't I
can't wait until now. I'm not saying that the new
administration is going to be perfect or that I won't
did I agree with everything that they do, not even close.
(35:40):
But this particular group has been so offensive and treating
us like we are we are beneath contempt and are
stupid and why to us left and right and or
don't tell us anything?
Speaker 11 (35:53):
They are.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
They are jackasses, every single one of them. And I
am not sorry to see them go.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
My problem is I beneath contemp. But how do they know?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's a good point. That's a very good point. If
