3
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:28,500
 signal in all that noise no spin no nonsense just the facts the fallout and a little bit of humor

 grab your coffee it's time it's time for the

5

7
00:01:37,580 --> 00:01:48,060
 morning drip at wrto.fm where oh where should we begin today you know what let's start with

8
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:52,880
 something that everybody really really really really really really really cares about and that's

9
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:02,140
 the reflecting pool okay so this thing has been in the news for weeks now and i'm going to give

10
00:02:02,140 --> 00:02:09,320
 this administration credit to the point that they're not the only administration that has attempted

11
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:18,060
 to throw money at fixing this damn thing uh the obama administration they i can't substantiate these

12
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:26,440
 claims but it seems like at some point they actually threw like 30 30 to 40 million dollars at it during

13
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:33,160
 his first or second term honestly i can't remember and i don't think there's really much you can do about

14
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:44,620
 the leaks and everything else that the reflecting pool is suffering from but here we are another 14

15
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:51,820
 million dollars spent on this damn thing and now this week we have a dispute that has escalated and

16
00:02:51,820 --> 00:03:00,080
 you've you've seen it in the news vandals etc etc former cnn correspondent jim acosta challenged trump's

17
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,720
 claims that vandals had slashed the pool's new liner because there's absolutely no proof whatsoever

18
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:16,140
 that anybody has vandalized the reflecting pool in a video from the national mall acosta said he found

19
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:24,240
 no evidence of the alleged cuts he pointed to what he described as peeling paint and signs of

20
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:32,160
 poor workmanship whereas trump has maintained that the damage was caused by vandals claiming multiple

21
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,360
 suspects have been arrested or are currently under investigation and even going so far as alleging

22
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,380
 one had ties to democratic fundraising of course i'm right there with acosta those claims are false

23
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:50,200
 there's no evidence to back anything that trump is saying up which is par for the course honestly

24
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:56,300
 of course the white house uh come out swinging through their rapid response account on social media

25
00:03:56,300 --> 00:04:01,120
 calling acosta quote one of the dumbest individuals to have ever existed in quote

26
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:08,140
 and telling him to quote seek professional help in quote and of course this exchange continues a long-running

27
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:11,740
 public feud between trump and acosta dates back to trump's first administration

28
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:17,840
 both men frequently criticizes they each other in public statements and on social media and again

29
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,560
 this this controversy is all around this 14 million dollar renovation of the reflecting pool

30
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,640
 because trump literally drained this he's he was draining the swamp so to speak

31
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,040
 he did a no-bid contract with one of his crony buddies

32
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:40,820
 uh green water systems or solutions or some bullshit like that and he wanted it american flag blue

33
00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:46,860
 because he wanted he wanted that deep rich blue color to come through the water and we've talked

34
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:54,580
 about this previously i think this week that darker color warms that water up which creates the algae

35
00:04:54,580 --> 00:05:04,940
 problem and then they attempted such a boneheaded maneuver of dumping hydrogen peroxide into the

36
00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:11,020
 reflective pool hydrogen peroxide is one of the ingredients in paint thinner and granted this is

37
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:18,380
 supposed to be some type of polymer or rubberized coating or something but it seems like i'm i'm not a chemist

38
00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:27,820
 i'm not a pool guy but it seems like from all the reporting that them trying to get rid of all of the algae

39
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:35,860
 had the side effect of that coating starting to peel up and as we already know the commander-in-chief

40
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:41,740
 the grifter-in-chief has such a fragile ego that anything that he does can never be wrong

41
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:47,380
 and it's something he learned at an early age never admit you're wrong never admit defeat

42
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:55,200
 cast the blame on somebody else and that's exactly and this humble host opinion and based on all of the

43
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,540
 evidence that anybody with two fucking eyes can see is what's happening here because the guy the company

44
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:07,380
 that he got to do this didn't know what the hell they were doing apparently and this thing that's

45
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:11,740
 supposed to be because you know trump's trying to slap his name on everything around washington

46
00:06:11,740 --> 00:06:17,800
 this was supposed to be like another tribute to him and his great presidency the greatest president

47
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:24,300
 ever in the united states of america actually he's the worst he's got the lowest poll poll numbers of

48
00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:30,920
 any president in history as far as i can remember so the fact that he spearheaded this thing and then it

49
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:38,840
 basically blew back on him and now it literally looks like a swamp it's not his responsibility he didn't do

50
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:47,180
 it it's got to be other people it's those democrats the democrats they hate america and that's not true

51
00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:53,660
 one of the people that was arrested and we covered this earlier this week was an olympian who just

52
00:06:53,660 --> 00:07:00,300
 reached down and touched it and then he was told by i think park police don't do that and then for some

53
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:07,780
 damn reason they decided they needed to arrest him for quote vandalism he touched the coating that was it

54
00:07:07,780 --> 00:07:14,240
 another reporter reached down where the the coating had actually started peeling off the bottom

55
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:21,540
 and touched it and they're trying to claim vandalism they they've even erected fencing around the

56
00:07:21,540 --> 00:07:28,620
 reflective pool now if if that doesn't scream draconian dystopian times i i don't know what does

57
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:35,540
 but the the problem is he will not take responsibility for his fuck-ups and this is one of them he keeps

58
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:41,440
 claiming over and over and over and over and his sycophants who don't really need convincing

59
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,960
 are already right there with him and anybody that's on the fence if he says it enough times

60
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,840
 you're going to be gullible enough to believe it unfortunately because if you were gullible enough

61
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,940
 to vote for this asshole in the first place then you're gullible enough to believe him when he says

62
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:04,220
 that the problem with the reflecting pool is vandalism and it has nothing to do with shoddy-ass

63
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:13,400
 construction um painting materials their attempt at getting rid of the algae which is just basic

64
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,940
 basic science no it's got to be vandals because there are people in america that hate america and

65
00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:23,860
 they don't want anything beautiful and they don't want to celebrate america's 250th birthday and yada yada

66
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:31,240
 yada yada the man needs to understand he fucked up that 14 million dollars that is our 14 million

67
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:37,260
 dollars that 14 million dollars belongs to me but belongs to you and yet he's just up there pissing

68
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:44,800
 it away because he wants something to to something else i guess to mark his his presidency his his reign

69
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:52,220
 or what have you until i mean even reporters asked him where's the evidence and basically he told them

70
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:56,960
 there's plenty of evidence there's video there's photos just talk to the the parks department the

71
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:03,400
 department of interior or whatever none of those agencies will give a single flying fuck to anybody

72
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:12,120
 they will not provide any proof no video no photos nothing that's because there weren't any vandals

73
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,460
 and they're trying to point to the people who are making fun of the situation hashtag team algae with

74
00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:24,040
 people walking up and down in i think there's one person who's in a frog suit i mean that's hysterical

75
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:32,280
 that is absolutely hysterical but they're not a vandal they're just bringing attention to the lunacy

76
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:40,600
 surrounding this distraction honestly that's what it seems like it is it's just yet another distraction

77
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:48,580
 to distract us the american people from the other crime that this administration has committed and

78
00:09:48,580 --> 00:09:55,180
 that is going to war with iran without just cause which has caused severe turmoil in not only the

79
00:09:55,180 --> 00:10:01,380
 economy of the united states but the world economy if there's going to be anything to write up about

80
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:10,200
 this man's legacy it's it's going to be how he damn near destroyed america how he damn near destroyed

81
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:17,160
 the world by doing stupid bullshit like going to war with iran or destroying the original agreement

82
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:26,200
 that took years to put together and was working just because it wasn't his deal anything any deal that

83
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:32,980
 predates him the worst deal ever was not good for america he's not a deal maker not at all he's a grifter

84
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:40,380
 he's a con artist and he's a crook he's got 34 felonies to prove that but you know what you can let me know

85
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:45,620
 what you think i know i'm down here in south central georgia which is red country probably trump country

86
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:52,280
 but i'm trying to get you to understand that we can meet in the middle the democrats have their issues

87
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:59,620
 i am not going to lie the democratic party needs to step up and start giving a damn about what's

88
00:10:59,620 --> 00:11:05,560
 really going on in this country but if you are a republican and you supported trump you need to back up

89
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:12,660
 and silence the nonsense that's coming from him and really dig into what's happening here

90
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:20,560
 let logic be your guide that's all i'm asking let logic be your guide and if you're getting your

91
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:27,440
 news from fox news and that's your your logical choice then you and i probably cannot have a conversation

92
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:35,000
 simply because everything that fox news feeds you is fake news to the point where it may have a morsel of

93
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,140
 truth but they're going to spin it so that it's always against those left lean left-leaning commie

94
00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:50,200
 bastards and always for the righteous and the right the republicans that are trying to save america

95
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,580
 and another another bone of contention that i have and then we're going to go to break

96
00:11:55,580 --> 00:12:03,040
 is the fact that americans a large majority do not understand that communism and socialism are not the

97
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:09,800
 same thing you recently had three people up in new york that are considered democratic socialists

98
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,820
 the same as bernie sanders and if you don't understand that there's a difference between true

99
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:24,120
 socialism democratic socialism and uh communism then you need to pick up a fucking book and learn some

100
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:31,620
 stuff because those three things are not the same communism is definitely the worst communism is

101
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:37,640
 russia socialism is a lot of the other european nations like sweden and i believe switzerland and

102
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,540
 maybe even new zealand they're socialist slash democratic socialism but anytime anybody utters the word

103
00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:51,580
 socialism it's it's been pounded into your head socialism bad socialism wants to take your money and give it to

104
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:57,260
 people who actually don't deserve it and just sit on their ass that's not no that is not what democratic

105
00:12:57,260 --> 00:13:06,900
 socialism is and it is definitely not communism but you know what it's easy to conflate all of that

106
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:15,340
 when all you're trying to do is get people nervous scared and upset and it's actually what this administration

107
00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:20,920
 tries to do it's what they're doing with the elections if they can so doubt and then when things don't go their way

108
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,020
 then they feel like they have a shot to try to reverse things and make it go their way

109
00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:26,780
 they claim they want

110
00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:29,880
 free and fair elections

111
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,080
 unfortunately fair elections only means

112
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,400
 when they win if they don't win

113
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,460
 then it's rigged

114
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:38,860

 are going to take effect this coming july 1st

131
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,840
 covering everything from

132
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,680
 homeowners associations

133
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,180
 to school literacy and pharmacy access

134
00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:07,020
 and one of the

135
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:08,700
 most impactful changes

136
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:12,260
 is the new property owners bill of rights

137
00:15:12,260 --> 00:15:13,780
 which requires

138
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:15,800
 hoas to register

139
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,620
 annually with the state

 homeowners

141
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:19,140
 homeowners

142
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:22,120
 will gain a clearer process

143
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,200
 for challenging

144
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,580
 hoa actions

145
00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:24,920
 and

146
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,180
 associations that

147
00:15:26,180 --> 00:15:27,300
 fail to register

148
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:28,360
 could lose the ability

149
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,380
 to issue fines

150
00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:30,280
 or place liens

151
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,380

 i will never ever

154
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:34,960
 knowingly buy a property

155
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,880
 that is up under

156
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,560
 or has an hoa

157
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,720
 i know the idea

158
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,260
 of an hoa

159
00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:42,300
 has good intentions

160
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:43,100
 but

161
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:44,220
 as with anything

162
00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:45,460
 involving humans

163
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:46,460
 they can

164
00:15:46,460 --> 00:15:47,700
 degenerate into

165
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:48,700
 something

166
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,020
 lesser than what

167
00:15:50,020 --> 00:15:51,320
 they were intended to be

168
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,200
 especially when you get

169
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,100
 someone who is the

170
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:54,880
 hoa president

171
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,520
 and

172
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,360
 well

173
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,740
 they love a little bit of power

174
00:15:57,740 --> 00:15:58,780
 and it goes to their head

175
00:15:58,780 --> 00:15:59,100
 so

176
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,180
 i will never

177
00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:01,000
 knowingly

178
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,640
 have

179
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,280
 a piece of property

180
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,160
 that is up under

181
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,760
 an hoa

182
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,480
 that's just me

183
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,800
 when we bought the place

184
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,500
 that we were here

185
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:09,700
 that we're at now

186
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:11,000
 20 years ago

187
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,100
 that was one of the things

188
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:13,280
 i first asked

189
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:13,780
 i was like

190
00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:14,380
 hoa

191
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:15,000
 and they were like

192
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,800
 no that's a good

193
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,000
 because if there had been one

194
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,760
 then

195
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,000
 we wouldn't

196
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,540
 wouldn't have

197
00:16:19,540 --> 00:16:20,460
 bought the property

198
00:16:20,460 --> 00:16:23,100
 another major

199
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,420
 another major change

200
00:16:25,420 --> 00:16:26,520
 is the

201
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,080
 georgia

202
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,540
 early literacy act

203
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:29,600
 which expands

204
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,080
 reading

205
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,500
 support in elementary

206
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:31,980
 schools

207
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:32,540
 and provides

208
00:16:32,540 --> 00:16:33,380
 literacy coaches

209
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:34,340
 for public schools

210
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:35,260
 serving kindergarten

211
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:36,420
 through third grade

212
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:37,000
 drivers

213
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,440
 may also notice

214
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,160
 changes around

215
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,360
 the school zones

216
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,700
 new law updates

217
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:42,240
 the use of

218
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,240
 automated speed

219
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,260
 enforcement cameras

220
00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:46,420
 and gives prosecutors

221
00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:47,140
 greater authority

222
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:47,920
 to pursue

223
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,840
 civil penalties

224
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,880
 for violations

225
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,180
 captured on those

226
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:51,600
 cameras

227
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,480
 another law

228
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,580
 allows pharmacists

229
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:54,720
 who complete

230
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,960
 specialized training

231
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,620
 they will be

232
00:16:56,620 --> 00:16:57,860
 allowed to dispense

233
00:16:57,860 --> 00:16:59,000
 HIV prevention

234
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,600
 medications

235
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,120
 known as

236
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,160
 PrEP and PEP

237
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,280
 under certain conditions

238
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,600
 making access

239
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,400
 to those treatments

240
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,140
 faster and more

241
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:05,620
 convenient

242
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:06,760
 for patients

243
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,560
 and July 1

244
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,100
 also marks

245
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:08,420
 the beginning

246
00:17:08,420 --> 00:17:08,920
 of Georgia's

247
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,740
 new fiscal year

248
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:10,760
 under the state's

249
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,520
 2026-27 budget

250
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,200
 which funds

251
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,280
 the government

252
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:15,940
 operations

253
00:17:15,940 --> 00:17:16,980
 education

254
00:17:16,980 --> 00:17:17,900
 public services

255
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:18,480
 and other state

256
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:18,940
 programs

257
00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:20,460
 until next June

258
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:21,540
 so that's

259
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:22,800
 that's what you got

260
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,520
 right there

261
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,100
 folks

262
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:26,440
 new laws

263
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,380
 here in the

264
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,460
 grand old state

265
00:17:28,460 --> 00:17:30,040
 of Georgia

266
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,120
 moving on

267
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,000
 a newly revealed

268
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,040
 interior department

269
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:33,840
 memo has

270
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,620
 changed how the

271
00:17:35,620 --> 00:17:36,660
 national park service

272
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:37,560
 communicates about

273
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,180
 deaths and

274
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:39,680
 serious industries

275
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,680
 in national parks

276
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,780
 under the guidance

277
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:42,780
 park employees

278
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,160
 are no longer

279
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:44,960
 authorized

280
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,260
 to publicly

281
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:47,100
 confirm

282
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:47,840
 fatalities

283
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,400
 or

284
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,280
 release

285
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,860
 details

286
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:50,560
 about fatal

287
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,080
 incidents

288
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,420
 instead

289
00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:52,440
 referring inquiries

290
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,920
 to unspecified

291
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,420
 quote

292
00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:56,040
 appropriate

293
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,540
 authorities

294
00:17:56,540 --> 00:17:56,940
 end quote

295
00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:57,660
 whatever the hell

296
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:58,200
 that means

297
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:58,600
 and whoever

298
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,360
 those appropriate

299
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,180
 authorities are

300
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:01,240
 interior officials

301
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,060
 say the policy

302
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:02,620
 is intended

303
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:03,400
 to create more

304
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,140
 consistent

305
00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:04,940
 communications

306
00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:06,180
 while ensuring

307
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:06,920
 families are

308
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,680
 notified first

309
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,340
 and investigations

310
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:08,980
 are not

311
00:18:08,980 --> 00:18:09,480
 compromised

312
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,880
 while they're

313
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,740
 denying claims

314
00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:12,300
 that is meant

315
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:12,940
 to conceal

316
00:18:12,940 --> 00:18:13,640
 information

317
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,540
 with this

318
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:15,020
 administration

319
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:16,100
 it's not hard

320
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:16,520
 to believe

321
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,060
 that this is

322
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:17,680
 just to conceal

323
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,220
 information

324
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:18,580
 look

325
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:19,940
 I do agree

326
00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:21,420
 families should

327
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:22,040
 be notified

328
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,540
 first

329
00:18:22,540 --> 00:18:22,820
 there's

330
00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:23,780
 I can't imagine

331
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:24,660
 anything worse

332
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:26,160
 than watching

333
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,740
 something on

334
00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:27,180
 television

335
00:18:27,180 --> 00:18:28,400
 than realizing

336
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:28,980
 that you had

337
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:29,780
 a family member

338
00:18:29,780 --> 00:18:30,320
 that was in

339
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,080
 the Grand Canyon

340
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,840
 suddenly fell

341
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,560
 to their death

342
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,720
 and that's how

343
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,480
 you found out

344
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:34,880
 about it

345
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,880
 was on television

346
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,900
 I get that

347
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:38,080
 however

348
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,420
 current and

349
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:40,160
 former National

350
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,860
 Park Service

351
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:42,140
 employees argue

352
00:18:42,140 --> 00:18:43,040
 the policy

353
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,360
 could reduce

354
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:45,040
 transparency

355
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,780
 and delay

356
00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:46,720
 important public

357
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,800
 safety warnings

358
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,720
 and critics

359
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,400
 say timely

360
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,300
 disclosure of

361
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:51,000
 fatalities

362
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,340
 has traditionally

363
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:53,120
 helped alert

364
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:54,240
 visitors to

365
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,300
 dangerous conditions

366
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,720
 and so now

367
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,380
 they worry

368
00:18:57,380 --> 00:18:58,020
 that this new

369
00:18:58,020 --> 00:18:58,660
 approach

370
00:18:58,660 --> 00:18:59,680
 could prevent

371
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,360
 hikers and

372
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:00,940
 tourists from

373
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:02,080
 learning about

374
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:02,780
 hazards

375
00:19:02,780 --> 00:19:04,380
 until after

376
00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:05,020
 additional

377
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:05,700
 incidents have

378
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:06,020
 already

379
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:06,900
 occurred

380
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:07,420
 basically

381
00:19:07,420 --> 00:19:08,200
 if you're

382
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:08,900
 not up

383
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:09,360
 front and

384
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:09,900
 forthcoming

385
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:10,820
 about this

386
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:11,440
 potential

387
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,680
 hazard

388
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,040
 then more

389
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:14,600
 people can

390
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,200
 either get

391
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,100
 injured or

392
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:16,680
 killed

393
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,560
 that could

394
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:17,880
 have been

395
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,560
 saved

396
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,280
 if this

397
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:19,780
 information

398
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:20,320
 had been

399
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:20,700
 readily

400
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:21,280
 available

401
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,140
 recent deaths

402
00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:22,820
 in parks

403
00:19:22,820 --> 00:19:23,220
 including

404
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:23,780
 Yosemite

405
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:24,380
 Sequoia

406
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:25,160

 reportedly

414
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,860
 received

415
00:19:28,860 --> 00:19:30,100
 little or

416
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:30,580
 no public

417
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:31,220
 notification

418
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:31,680
 from the

419
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,080
 department

420
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,720
 honestly

421
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,280
 I haven't

422
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:33,720
 heard anything

423
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,120
 about it

424
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:34,320
 in the

425
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:34,720
 news

426
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,240
 and of

427
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:35,400
 course

428
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:35,600
 this

429
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,140
 controversy

430
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:36,600
 has renewed

431
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,120
 debate over

432
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:37,560
 balancing

433
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,580
 privacy and

434
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:39,220
 public safety

435
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:39,860
 in America's

436
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:40,560
 national parks

437
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,860
 the interior

438
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:42,280
 department

439
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,080
 insists it

440
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,640
 will continue

441
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,580
 issuing safety

442
00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:45,080
 alerts and

443
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,660
 updates when

444
00:19:45,660 --> 00:19:46,140
 appropriate

445
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:47,360
 but the critics

446
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:47,880
 point to

447
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,720
 recent cases

448
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,220
 as the

449
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:50,840
 Grand Canyon

450
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,040
 where warnings

451
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:52,760
 about multiple

452
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,660
 deaths on a

453
00:19:53,660 --> 00:19:55,020
 popular trail

454
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:55,940
 were reportedly

455
00:19:55,940 --> 00:19:56,500
 delayed

456
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:57,560
 which then

457
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:57,860
 raised

458
00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:58,540
 concerns

459
00:19:58,540 --> 00:19:59,540
 that slower

460
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:00,200
 communication

461
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,720
 could put

462
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,080
 future

463
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,580
 visitors

464
00:20:01,580 --> 00:20:02,940
 at greater

465
00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:03,360
 risk

466
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:03,760
 and I

467
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:04,000
 agree

468
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,120
 I agree

469
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:05,640
 I haven't

470
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,020
 been to a

471
00:20:06,020 --> 00:20:06,780
 national park

472
00:20:06,780 --> 00:20:07,780
 since

473
00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:10,120
 2004

474
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:11,000
 2005

475
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,900
 somewhere in

476
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:12,120
 there

477
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:12,680
 probably

478
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,240
 2005

479
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,020
 my wife

480
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:14,620
 decided

481
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:16,400
 because we

482
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,900
 homeschooled

483
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:17,320
 our kids

484
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,560
 she decided

485
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:18,940
 that she

486
00:20:18,940 --> 00:20:19,340
 wanted to

487
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:19,680
 take a

488
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,180
 week and

489
00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:20,480
 go to

490
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,080
 the various

491
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,060
 national

492
00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:22,860
 parks here

493
00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:23,980
 in Georgia

494
00:20:23,980 --> 00:20:24,360
 with the

495
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:24,960
 final one

496
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,420
 being we

497
00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:25,940
 went up to

498
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:27,500
 Stone Mountain

499
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:28,100
 spent the

500
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:28,520
 night one

501
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,040
 night got

502
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,300
 up the

503
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:29,780
 next morning

504
00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:30,180
 tried to

505
00:20:30,180 --> 00:20:30,480
 make the

506
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:30,880
 trek all

507
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,100
 the way

508
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:31,340
 up to

509
00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:31,760
 the top

510
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,340
 and back

511
00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:32,740
 down

512
00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:34,520
 one of the

513
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:34,980
 worst weeks

514
00:20:34,980 --> 00:20:35,300
 of my

515
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:36,000
 life a lot

516
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:36,540
 of traveling

517
00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:37,160
 we would

518
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,160
 go you

519
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,460
 know get

520
00:20:38,460 --> 00:20:39,360
 up go

521
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:40,240
 early say

522
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:40,720
 Monday or

523
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:40,940
 Tuesday

524
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:41,980
 morning go

525
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:42,360
 to wherever

526
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:43,060
 it was

527
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:44,200
 Spiro Bluff

528
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,980
 Little Grand

529
00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:45,760
 Canyon stuff

530
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,440
 like that

531
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,820
 and then be

532
00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:48,280
 on our way

533
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,940
 back home and

534
00:20:48,940 --> 00:20:49,480
 probably get

535
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,000
 home around

536
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,740
 six seven or

537
00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:51,340
 eight o'clock

538
00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:51,800
 it was

539
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:52,400
 exhausting I

540
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:52,740
 needed a

541
00:20:52,740 --> 00:20:53,360
 vacation for

542
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,020
 my vacation

543
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:54,960
 let's put it

544
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,740
 that way but

545
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:57,120
 it's the

546
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:57,680
 last time I've

547
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,100
 been to a

548
00:20:58,100 --> 00:20:58,760
 national park

549
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,620
 they're nice

550
00:20:59,620 --> 00:21:01,380
 I just it's

551
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:02,020
 not my thing

552
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:03,300
 the great

553
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:04,640
 outdoors I'm

554
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,300
 allergic to it

555
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:05,680
 apparently

556
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,440
 sometimes I have

557
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:11,880
 to wonder

558
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,340
 we did a

559
00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:14,000
 family thing

560
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,620
 with our

561
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:16,500
 family and

562
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:16,920
 then Lee's

563
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,460
 mom and dad

564
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:17,960
 and sister

565
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,760
 and her

566
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:19,240
 kids

567
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,380
 early aughts

568
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:21,740
 I want to

569
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:21,980
 say

570
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:22,400
 probably

571
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:22,760
 around

572
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,980
 2003

573
00:21:23,980 --> 00:21:25,540
 and we

574
00:21:25,540 --> 00:21:25,860
 stayed in

575
00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:26,300
 a cabin

576
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:27,380
 for I

577
00:21:27,380 --> 00:21:27,660
 think a

578
00:21:27,660 --> 00:21:27,960
 day or

579
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,220
 two

580
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:29,380
 and it

581
00:21:29,380 --> 00:21:29,640
 was in

582
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,040
 a woodsy

583
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:30,520
 area and

584
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,020
 honestly I

585
00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:31,480
 can't remember

586
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:31,880
 I think it

587
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,120
 was up

588
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:32,600
 somewhere in

589
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,080
 north Georgia

590
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,780
 but oh

591
00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:35,120
 boy I

592
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:35,700
 never really

593
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:36,420
 had allergies

594
00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:37,880
 but that

595
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:38,200
 entire

596
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,060
 experience was

597
00:21:39,060 --> 00:21:39,720
 miserable for

598
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,380
 me because I

599
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:41,200
 constantly had

600
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:41,920
 sinus pressure

601
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:42,440
 and I was

602
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,520
 sneezing and

603
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,160
 my eyes

604
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,880
 were red

605
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,000
 and we

606
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,500
 joked about

607
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:48,220
 the fact that

608
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:48,820
 I was just

609
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:49,620
 allergic to

610
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:49,960
 the great

611
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,800
 outdoors because

612
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:51,740
 I'm a nerd

613
00:21:51,740 --> 00:21:52,460
 I work on

614
00:21:52,460 --> 00:21:53,240
 stuff indoors

615
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,040
 but hopefully

616
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:55,480
 I've gotten

617
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,220
 better anyway

618
00:21:56,220 --> 00:21:57,760
 do you go and

619
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,200
 visit any

620
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,060
 national parks

621
00:21:59,060 --> 00:21:59,780
 and what do

622
00:21:59,780 --> 00:22:00,160
 you what do

623
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,800
 you think about

624
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,620
 not reporting

625
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,260

629
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:05,940

630
00:22:05,940 --> 00:22:06,640
 make sure that

631
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:06,980
 you're not going

632
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:07,500
 to be eaten by

633
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:07,860
 a bear

 show with

723
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:20,800
 something a

724
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,480
 little jovial

725
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,340
 little fun

726
00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:23,480
 not so

727
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,040
 politically

728
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,300
 heated or

729
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:26,420
 the dystopian

730
00:23:26,420 --> 00:23:27,240
 hellscape that

731
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,020
 we seem to find

732
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:28,720
 ourselves living

733
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,300
 in today

734
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:30,480
 but let's talk

735
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,780
 about the

736
00:23:31,780 --> 00:23:32,200
 fact that

737
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,160
 astronomers say

738
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,840
 that they may

739
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,640
 have finally

740
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,200
 identified the

741
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:36,960
 source of one

742
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,280
 of this

743
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,600
 of space's most

744
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,460
 mysterious

745
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:40,900
 repeating radio

746
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:41,360
 signals

747
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,460
 researchers studying

748
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:43,220
 an object known

749
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:43,680
 as

750
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,380
 a-s-k-a-p-j-1-7-4-5-dash-5-0-5-1

751
00:23:49,380 --> 00:23:50,340
 it just rolls off the

752
00:23:50,340 --> 00:23:50,960
 tongue right

753
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,560
 found evidence that

754
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,540
 the signals are

755
00:23:53,540 --> 00:23:54,100
 coming from a

756
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:55,260
 binary star system

757
00:23:55,260 --> 00:23:56,020
 consisting of a

758
00:23:56,020 --> 00:23:57,080
 white dwarf and a

759
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,060
 small red dwarf

760
00:23:58,060 --> 00:23:59,360
 orbiting each other

761
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,500
 every 81

762
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:01,580
 minutes

763
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:02,840
 and the timing of

764
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,660
 that orbit closely

765
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:04,280
 matches the

766
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,180
 periodic radio

767
00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:06,220
 bursts that have

768
00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:07,200
 puzzled scientists

769
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,140
 for years

770
00:24:08,140 --> 00:24:09,000
 using radio

771
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,240
 optical and x-ray

772
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,900
 observations

773
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:11,480
 researchers

774
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,240
 determined the

775
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,140
 white dwarf is

776
00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:14,200
 actively pulling

777
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,840
 material from

778
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,480
 its companion

779
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:16,960
 star

780
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,600
 man the

781
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,440
 universe is

782
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,040
 scary

783
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,780
 they believe

784
00:24:22,780 --> 00:24:23,180
 the radio

785
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:23,640
 bursts are

786
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:24,220
 generated by

787
00:24:24,220 --> 00:24:25,140
 powerful magnetic

788
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:26,220
 interactions between

789
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:27,000
 the two stars

790
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,240
 while separate

791
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,240
 x-ray emissions

792
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:29,980
 are produced

793
00:24:29,980 --> 00:24:31,280
 as gas

794
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,420
 falls onto

795
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:33,780
 the white dwarf

796
00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:34,700
 and the discovery

797
00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:35,500
 represents the

798
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:36,620
 strongest evidence

799
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:37,120
 yet

800
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,300
 explaining at

801
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:38,960
 least one

802
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,640
 example of the

803
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,440
 mysterious long

804
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,200
 period radio

805
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:41,960
 transients

806
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,660
 observed

807
00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:44,280
 in our galaxy

808
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,620
 scientists say

809
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:46,360
 only a handful

810
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:46,780
 of these

811
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:47,460
 repeating radio

812
00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:48,080
 sources have

813
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:48,620
 been identified

814
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:49,240
 so far

815
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,840
 and their

816
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,520
 origins have

817
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,280
 remained largely

818
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,220
 unknown

819
00:24:52,220 --> 00:24:53,340
 aliens

820
00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:54,080
 the findings

821
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:54,720
 suggest that

822
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,340
 some of these

823
00:24:55,340 --> 00:24:56,440
 strange signals

824
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,500
 may not require

825
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:58,520
 exotic explanations

826
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,100
 after all

827
00:24:59,100 --> 00:24:59,600
 but instead

828
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,560
 originate from

829
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,480
 unusual

830
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,900
 binary star

831
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:03,400
 systems

832
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,740
 hidden within

833
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:05,840
 the milky way

834
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,620
 and there you

835
00:25:07,620 --> 00:25:08,020
 have it

836
00:25:08,020 --> 00:25:08,560
 ladies and

837
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:08,820
 gentlemen

838
00:25:08,820 --> 00:25:10,300
 it's not

839
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:10,740
 aliens

840
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:11,200
 it's just

841
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:11,920
 a natural

842
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,980
 scary course

843
00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:15,040
 of the universe

844
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,900
 at large

845
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:17,540
 that does bring

846
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:18,140
 up a question

847
00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:18,620
 for me

848
00:25:18,620 --> 00:25:19,840
 I am curious

849
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,680
 are you somebody

850
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,240
 that believes

851
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,720
 in aliens

852
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,440
 do you believe

853
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,260
 that we have

854
00:25:23,260 --> 00:25:23,860
 been visited

855
00:25:23,860 --> 00:25:24,580
 do you believe

856
00:25:24,580 --> 00:25:25,420
 that aliens

857
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:27,240
 walk among us

858
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,100
 have walked

859
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:28,800
 among us

860
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,760
 continue to walk

861
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,320
 among us

862
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:30,960
 have you ever

863
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,300
 seen a ufo

864
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:33,000
 I'm curious

865
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,840
 as we're winding

866
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,440
 down the show

867
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:35,080
 the phone lines

868
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:35,740
 are now closed

869
00:25:35,740 --> 00:25:36,260
 but you can

870
00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:36,840
 still text

871
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,800
 247-229-520-5957

872
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,280
 or you can email

873
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,480
 morningdrip

874
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:45,880
 at wrto.fm

875
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,800
 let me know

876
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,300
 have you seen

877
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:49,120
 a ufo

878
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:49,680
 do you believe

879
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,280
 in aliens

880
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,020
 ancient aliens

881
00:25:52,020 --> 00:25:52,880
 was one of my

882
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,520
 most favorite

883
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,160
 shows back

884
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,920
 whenever I could

885
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,340
 could actually

886
00:25:57,340 --> 00:25:58,940
 get those

887
00:25:58,940 --> 00:25:59,420
 channels

888
00:25:59,420 --> 00:26:00,100
 those channels

889
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:00,740
 are not available

890
00:26:00,740 --> 00:26:01,960
 on youtube tv

891
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,640
 unfortunately

892
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,220
 I wish they'd

893
00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:04,940
 straighten that out

894
00:26:04,940 --> 00:26:06,000
 I don't believe

895
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,440
 90% of the nonsense

896
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,340
 that's on that show

897
00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:10,240
 but you know

898
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,100
 and the unexplained

899
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:11,900
 with William Shatner

900
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:12,500
 I always thought

901
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:12,760
 it was

902
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:13,660
 it's fun

903
00:26:13,660 --> 00:26:14,940
 it's fun

904
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:15,580
 to entertain

905
00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:16,860
 conspiracy theories

906
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:18,380
 the danger

907
00:26:18,380 --> 00:26:19,120
 is when you start

908
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:20,440
 actually believing them

909
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,500
 anyway

910
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:22,640
 that's gonna wrap it up

911
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,580
 for today's show

912
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:24,180
 for Thursday

913
00:26:24,180 --> 00:26:25,440
 the 25th of June

914
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,380
 right here

915
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:27,740
 on wrto.fm

916
00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:29,020
 I wanna thank you

917
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:29,580
 for joining

918
00:26:29,580 --> 00:26:30,360
 if you came by

919
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:31,620
 and listened to us live

920
00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:32,340
 Tuesday, Wednesday

921
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:32,820
 and Thursday

922
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:33,480
 starting around

923
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,260
 7.30am

924
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:35,260
 but if you didn't

925
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:36,020
 get that opportunity

926
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:36,920
 don't you worry

927
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,100
 I convert this

928
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:38,940
 into a podcast

929
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:39,840
 over at

930
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,960
 morningdrip.show

931
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,100
 it stays up

932
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:42,560
 for free

933
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,220
 for the first

934
00:26:43,220 --> 00:26:43,800
 seven days

935
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,240
 and then it's

936
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:44,820
 just a measly

937
00:26:44,820 --> 00:26:45,760
 seven dollars a month

938
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,140

944
00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:52,540
