"They're not cheap. But after the, after the, uh, the company that broke that phone, Apple wanted to know who's the company and how'd they do it. Because they, sorry, you had your chance. You could have, we could have kept this from happening. Now we're not going to tell you how we did it. Hey, but that brings back to the question because you said it was your investigation for three days. At what point did it become apparent to you that this was a terrorist attack, that the, all the indicators were there? Yeah. So early on we knew it was a terrorist attack, obviously. I mean, well, intuitively, I should say, I mean, we didn't have any obvious, um, evidence that it was, um, there was no posting or anything that anybody had found and about it. And a funny story is, is that, uh, the F we are still the lead organization on it, but the FBI had flown out people from their crime lab and stuff like that. And they said, Hey, do you mind, or we have our crime lab. We can offer you all of this technology. And although our local sheriffs have a very extensive, very good crime lab, some of the capabilities from the FBI exceeded what they had. Plus they were going to process the entire scene. And it was a big scene, a big messy scene. So to speak, because you think about it, you know, the number of people you've mentioned that were dead and wounded in there, the sprinklers had come on mixing with that stuff. And it was spreading all that everywhere. It was a very, very, um, messy, messy scene. So we said, yeah, sure, come in. You know, if you're going to provide all that assistance, it's just a mutual aid thing. But we are still the lead as far as the investigation goes. So the funny story about it though, I was going to speak, is that we're getting ready. Everything that, we did pretty regular press conferences. And we're in this meeting before we're going to go out and do another press conference. And we always had all of the lead agencies, us, the FBI, the Sheriff's Department. And, you know, David Bowditch, who was at the time, who later went on to advance in the FBI, was the lead there from the LA office. And then my chief and I was there, and then the sheriff. And we're watching the news. And the president comes out, Obama, and he says, the FBI is the lead in this investigation. And at that time, we were still the lead. So David Bowditch says, man, how am I going to, how am I, if I get asked, how am I going to, I can't tell him that the president's wrong. So he had to kind of think about how he was going to respond to that if he asked directly by the media, if the FBI was the lead. But we were still the lead. So what happened is, about three days in, or thereabouts, the FBI finally found an email or like a profile online that the suspect had, where he had actually pledged allegiance to Al-Baghdadi. And from that, they were able to extrapolate that this is a direct connection to terrorism. And then they took it as a federal issue and took over the lead in the investigation. You know, that's very interesting. We had, a friend of mine, Ed Davis, was the commissioner of Boston Police when the Boston Marathon bombing happened. And same thing, issues there. They didn't want, if the FBI had taken over at that time, and as they found out and declared it a terrorist incident, many of the insurance coverages and all the other things that would pay out would not have been in effect, because that was part of their force majeure. Hey, we'll do it except for terrorist attacks. So there was a lot of politicking and maneuvering involved with the FBI and Rich Delaurier and the guys out there being involved in the marathon bombing as well, simply because of those facts. The minute you come in and you say it's an FBI, once they say it's a terrorist thing, that changes legally the complexion, not only from a criminal standpoint, but insurance, civil damages, everything after that. It's a mess. Well, look, let's talk about the aftermath now. So at some point, like I said, the FBI comes in and takes over. When are you at the point to where you are satisfied that there are no more suspects, that there are no more follow on attacks, anything else coming on? You know, we were pretty confident after the suspects were located and taken out, that that was, the only information that we had was that there were two suspects, and we knew we had two suspects dead at the scene. And speaking of that a little bit, we actually used a Rook, it's looked like an armored caterpillar, and it was from another agency that brought it in, which then went up to the car, opened the door, and actually reached in and pulled the second suspect out of the backseat and dropped it onto the ground outside, and it started manipulating the clothes, checking it for explosive devices. And it wasn't until that moment when they put over there, they say, hey, this is a woman. And up to that point, we had no idea. Wow. But obviously the, you know, you're consolidating this. The other word I had too, and I just wanted to check that with you too, it's like 12 of the people, the victims, they died at the scene, but two of them survived long enough, but to get to triage, and they died in triage later. Is that what the- No, everybody, no, we had some, nobody died at the hospital. Everybody that made it to the hospital survived. Everybody that died died at the scene. Right, okay. And see, that's why I said, you read some of this stuff, and it's like, you know, we've always told people do your own due diligence, and that's why it's great getting you on and other folks like you on who were there that know what's really going on, because if you believe what's written out there about everything, as we found out, it's highly inaccurate. I mean, if somebody says something and somebody repeats it now and say, oh, look, I've got three people saying the same thing, it must be true. No, the first guy got it wrong, the other two just repeated what was wrong. And maybe there's some confusion because, so we had the victims that were inside the building, the conference room at the IRC, and they had to get taken across the street to where we had the triage location for the victims, and that was across the street on the golf course. And so we had officers that, you know, put them in a vehicle, backseat of a car, and drove them across the street. So there were a couple of people that were wounded that were taken to that triage location, but before they could be evacuated, they expired, they died. But everybody that made it to the hospital survived. That's what I was getting at too. That's what I thought. In terms of the triage, some of the folks that did not make it out of triage, but everybody went to the hospital, survived, which is a testament to that golden hour. You got to get that care. And we got them out of there very, very quickly. They're landing helicopters right there on the fairway to medevac those folks out. Nice.

"Well let's go back and talk about this because once you get this, once you get, and this is, had you guys done much active shooter training at that point? It's very, it was something that, and I had participated as both the instructor at some points, this to limited extent, but also I'd gone through active shooter training. So we'd actually trained on that quite a few times. I mean, they would gone through it, uh, pretty regularly. It becomes something that, you know, I remember I was a cop when Columbine happened and, uh, you know, from that, obviously the Genesis to the, how we evolved in and how we respond to those types of events. And we were pretty well versed on, on, you know, instructing our officers on what to do on an active shooter incident. But in this event though, by the time you got down there, the shooting was over, right? I mean, by the time the first cops got on scene, the shooting was done, the suspects were gone? Yeah. So when the officers got there, that, uh, unbeknownst to them, the suspects had already left and, uh, but the suspects had, uh, driven by while the suspect, while the officers were there. So basically what happened is that there's a lot, you know, I have a lot of, you know, information about how it all transpired, but the, uh, the suspect himself, the male, he had wanted to commit a mass murder, uh, for several years. Um, and he had, you know, radicalized himself, um, over a number of years. He had had another friend that he had himself radicalized and they had wanted to do, um, a terrorist attack. They had actually had a bunch of different scenarios that they wanted to do. At one point they wanted to, uh, to shoot somebody on the 91 freeway, which is a very, very busy freeway between the nine, between the Illinois empire and orange County, create a traffic jam, which they didn't need to do that anyway. There's just nonstop traffic and then walk amongst the cars that are stuck in traffic and execute people as they're walking down. And that we won't name the gentleman, but that the one you're talking about has the Hispanic name. Correct? Yes. Yes. And, um, and so that, that never happened. And then they had an idea to go into, uh, to place some bombs inside of a, um, community college and then explode those bombs remotely. And then as people ran out that they would shoot the people, well, what happened is that there was a, I can't remember at the moment the name of the operation, but the FBI had taken down some people in the Inland empire that were planning to go, I think to Afghanistan. Um, they were radicalized and the FBI took them down and, uh, and arrested them all and it was in our region. And so it spooked these guys. And so they decided, Hey, we better go underground for a little while. And hopefully the FBI is not onto us, but they hadn't had a profile online at all. So, um, and over that time, the other person that you, that you mentioned kind of drifted away and decided he didn't want to be involved in that. But the main suspect still wanted to, so he had met online this woman who was living in Saudi Arabia and she's a Pakistani descent as well. She was radicalized and that was kind of an attraction for him to her. And then he traveled over there and he brought her back as basically a 90 day fiance. And, um, I don't know if, you know, no one knows if they had decided at that time to do a terrorist attack or they planned to do it after they got married and came over here. And when the evolution of when that planning took place to do that, but they came over here and, and you know, they had actually had a kid, had a couple months old by the time of the terrorist attack. And what's odd is that, you know, he, he's from here, he's, he's an American, his parents are naturalized citizens, but, um, he actually worked for the county and his coworkers that hosted Baby Shower for him and his wife, um, not too long before this incident happened, you know, so he didn't have a bad relationship with his coworkers.

"So I said, hey, can you send this off to the FBI, the JRIC, the Joint Regional Intelligence Center, and see if they can get this translated and let us know if this is something we need to be concerned about. So he takes it and I give it to him and a couple days later I'm like, hey, have you got anything back yet? He goes, no, let me call him and see what's going on. So he finds out, they call him and they say, yeah, it's a snippet from an ISIL website and it's roughly translated, it says, danger, danger, beware, beware. So I'm like, okay, maybe, you know, but they say, it's nothing to be worried about, don't worry about it. So I'm like, all right. So I said, hey, send one of our TLO officers down there, have them take a report so we can just document the fact and what we did on this and stuff like that. So flash forward several days, I can't remember exactly how many days it is, but we would host some Chinese police officers, usually about 30 of them would come to our station and we'd tell them about policing in the United States and San Bernardino and stuff like that. So we're in that and we're on a break and I go walking down to my office and I'm sitting in my office doing something and one of my captains walks in and he says, hey, there's some shots heard down in the south side of the city. Now when I say that San Bernardino earlier is a very busy city, there is the south in the city, which is like our commercial area and it's nicer and you really don't ever have any homicides or shootings or anything like that down there. So it's kind of odd that we're having any shots heard down there. And I'm like, okay, you know, shootings aren't new, but that's kind of an area that doesn't happen, but it didn't really raise any alarms. And then literally a minute later, I'm walking down the hallway and the watch commander comes over the intercom and says, hey, we have an active shooter down at the IRC. Of course, that's not something that we hear every day. So I grabbed that captain and I said, hey, let's go down and let's see what's going on. And as I'm driving down there, I'm thinking, wait a minute, this is where we had that phone call or that voicemail message from earlier. And I'm like, crap. And I'm calling the sergeant and say, hey, what did we find out when the officer went down there? And he's like, I don't know, let me find out. So we get down there and I'm thinking, man, I hope I cross all the T's and dotted all I's on this and that we did everything that we were supposed to. And I get down there, we get down there relatively quickly and I don't hear any shots being fired. There's very few officers down there still yet. Our chief is in the meeting at city hall. We can't get ahold of him and we leave some voicemail messages. And we get down there and I go walking around to the back of the building. It's a large complex and it was always a big building. We didn't really know what it was, but we thought it was some kind of governmental facility. And basically what the IRC is, it's called the Inland Regional Center and it's a nonprofit. And what they do is they take care of kids who have developmentally disabled. So their parents come there, they give them training on how to help their kids and stuff like that. So that's what kind of facility it is. And I didn't know that until later. But we get down there, I walk around to the back and I see our homicide sergeant back there and I see a couple people laying there that have been wounded and stuff like that. And I walk in to the room and the alarms are going off, obviously it's the actual crime scene. And I come walking out and to be honest with you, I've been to so many homicide scenes that yes, this was a large number, but at the end of the day, it's just a homicide scene in my mind. And we're trying to secure the scene. We've got people already searching the building to see what's going on, where the suspects are, if they're still there. And we obviously didn't know that, but honestly, it didn't, you know, nothing to get excited about. Honestly, our cops knew what to do because they've been to, you know, some of them, hundreds of homicide scenes. It's just a larger number of victims. And so that's going on. And then I finally get ahold of the sergeant and I say, hey, what happened? And he goes, well, then the officer showed up, he says, hey, I played phone tag with that lady. I never got the report taken. So I was like, crap, you know, we didn't, hopefully we didn't miss something on this. Well, as much as I was crapping the people down at Jayrick that actually had the information that we gave them and processed it, you know, I think they had diarrhea down there because they're wondering if they had done everything they were supposed to. And so at that time they started working out, talked to some people down there after the fact, and they said they started working it big time. And what I was told later was it had no connection to the IRC. It was coincidental. And it was one of the kids, an autistic kid that goes there that actually left the recording. So no connection, but obviously it's kind of coincidental that coincidental. I mean, yeah, because, because you know, that'll spin concern conspiracies, conspiracy theorists out say, oh no, you got warning of it. You were told about it. You guys ignored it, but it's like, um, and that's not well known. I mean, I've spoken all over the country about the incident and I, and I briefed different police departments on that, but that's not something that's very well known that that phone call came in, um, that report, not that phone call, but a phone call with the recording. And uh, but that, that did happen, but I was told out of the fact, well, and we're kind of fast forwarding, but did they get a, even though he's autistic, did they get a chance to interview? That was something that, uh, uh, the FBI followed up on and not us. Um, and they assured us it was not connected to the actual shooting.

"And I've been on landing craft, during different operations, doing amphibious assaults and in those very similar landing craft, like they portrayed on Band of Brothers and seeing that and then having been in it before going, man, I can't believe that those guys were heroes. That gate comes down and there's totally exposed to the machine gun fire. Fricking 50 calibers, yeah, coming at you. Well, I had the honor of meeting and I didn't know this for two years, the guy was so humble, but do you know the name Colonel Barney Barnum? Kind of sounds familiar, but- He's a CMH winner from Vietnam and he's the husband of the wife of, I was at a nonprofit institute, I was on the board, but so we go to a Christmas dinner down at Ruth Chris in Arlington and what does he show up with? He shows up with a CMH around his neck and it's like, you sandbagged me for two years, you never mentioned shit. And you know what? I will tell you, it doesn't take long when you've got a CMH winner. The line at Ruth's Chris in Arlington there, it wrapped around the corner, went down the stairs. Every Marine I think within sniffing distance, within a stone's, I mean, even way out outside, anybody within 25 miles I think was lined up to go meet him. What an honor to see guys like that. Absolutely, yep. Well, back to you now, back to our regular scheduled podcast. So you're over there for nine months. When did you actually get into in country out of Saudi Arabia and in country and get into some fighting? We, what was that? The ground or the air war started in January. January, where they started bombarding and we started moving our, we're already very forward deployed at that time. Somewhat the speed bump in case the Iraqis came in and to at least delay or prevent them from attacking further in. But we're close enough that they would drop every night, they would drop leaflets before the bombing campaign and then they were dropping the 10,000 pound bombs on the Iraqis and the leaflets would blow into our positions and we'd see them, I have a bunch of them. And then a lot of times after they dropped the 10,000 pound bombs and the Iraqis got to experience that firsthand, that they dropped these leaflets showing a B-52 saying, hey, we're coming back tonight to drop these things again. But if you take these leaflets and go head towards the American lines and surrender, and I guess they were so, those bombs are so just demoralizing that they knew that that would be effective. I saw those pictures. I remember seeing those pictures of them holding up the leaflets. Yeah, but those bombs, I mean, all the bombs, the ground just shook crazy. And of course, before they started, we'd have to get in position just in the event that the Iraqis came forward or that we had people that would come across and surrender. But then we did the ground war actually in February. And I still remember, we had a briefing and they expected us to suffer about 30 to 40% casualties. We were taking nerve agent pills, anthrax pills. I got inoculated for botulism and all this stuff. And then during the briefing, they said, hey, because amazingly, it's really cold in the wintertime. It had a very low ceiling because it was drizzling. And they knew that it wouldn't be- Well, you're from California, cold is relative. What do you mean by really cold? If you got below 50, what? Yeah, it actually gets cold with the wind and everything over there. It'll cut right through your uniform or your clothing that you're wearing and it bites. But so they knew they weren't gonna be able to get air in to medevac people out. So they said, hey, we're just basically gonna throw them in anthrax, which is an amphibious armored vehicle that can go land in the ocean. And we're gonna send them back to the rear to the medical. But we knew that we're expecting a lot of casualties. We had to go through two minefields to get into Kuwait. But I remember lining up and I have a friend that retired from the Marines that a lot of my friends retired because I was a second term and they stayed in even though I got out. And I remember we're online getting ready to move forward. And it's in the middle of the night, the night before the ground war. And I walked over to his Humvee and I just shook his hand and say, hey, good luck, see you in Kuwait City. And he still, I asked him, not too long ago, hey, do you remember that? And he says, yeah, I remember that. And he went on, he ended up serving in staying over to Iraq and Afghanistan and stuff like that too. But we moved in and amazingly it was, the Iraqis were dropping artillery on us as we were moving forward, shooting at us. But it was almost like they didn't know how to aim. And we suffered nowhere near the casualties that we expected. We lost some people or at least some people on our task force, we had some people wounded, I think about 10, 15 wounded in my company. But we were able to move forward and attack. Some of our detectors went off for chemical and biological weapons, which we were told were false. But to this day, some people allege that they were just told that we were, but that stuff actually was real activations, but we'll never know. I mean, that's probably secret stuff. But yeah, so we went in and we set up on the Kuwait National Airport, which was our objective. And they told us to stand fast that night because the allied Arab forces were gonna go and actually seize the airport for CNN. So we had to stand back while they went in. Wait a minute, seize the airport for CNN? This was a staged photo op? That was a staged, the actual taking of the airport was reserved for the allies and for the CNN, yep. And we were there, we took all the brunt of everything before that point. So they were nowhere near us when the actual combat was taking place. All governments participate in propaganda. Yep, absolutely. Oh boy, didn't they say MacArthur, like to get that picture, it was like two or three times. He had to redo it, waiting ashore in the Philippines, coming back. And even the raising of the flag on Mount Surabarchi, that famous photo, that was the one they caught was not the actual one that they did, they did it before and then they redid it again, so. Absolutely, it's much smaller flag originally, they got a bigger flag and redid it, yep. Wow, man, so, but when you were there, did you lose anybody, it's not wounded, but did you lose anybody? I did not, not in my company, not in my battalion, but it was a large task force and there was, I think we had an individual, they ran over a mine, there was a ton of mines and he got killed that way. But there were, I think it was about 10, we had a formation before we came back where they handed out some Purple Hearts and I think we had about 10 people in our company that got Purple Hearts. There were some Marines seriously wounded, there was an incident that I didn't observe myself, but there was some Amtraks with some infantry in it that was behind us, we were afforded that with the tanks and the toes, but we were bypassing it, there was an Iraqi that was unarmed, we were moving forward so fast, they said, just drop your weapon, tell them to drop the weapon and we'll keep moving forward and let everybody behind us mop up the POWs. Here, take this and go turn yourself in. And the people behind us were gonna mop up the POWs. So there was some Iraqis that were surrendering and there was some Marines in the Amtrak and their lieutenant told them to dismount and take these prisoners and right when they dismounted the mortar land amongst them and wounded a bunch of those Marines. What, mortar from the Iraqi side? I would assume so, I hope it wasn't our own, but. A friendly fire, yeah. But I don't know if it was or wasn't, but I'm assuming it was Iraqi mortar, but those Marines were wounded and obviously had to take back. But what's funny is as you see the old pictures and we had it on our Humvees as well, because you want room inside those Amtraks because you're just crammed in there with all your gear, you typically would hang your Alice packs on the outside and the Marines inside, they said they would hear the pinging of the rounds off the light armor of the Amtrak while they're inside. What's an Alice pack? You know, that's another acronym and I can't remember what Alice stands for, but it's basically your rucksack, your civilian backpack. Yeah, all your gear and everything hanging off the edge. Hey, now I know you keep mentioning toes, but were the javelins out then or was that? Javelin's a more recent thing. So the javelin is my understanding, replaced the toe. So toe is just an acronym, yeah. And I didn't realize when it came out, but I got to fire a few when I went through basic, I went through Fort Leonard Wood army side. We got to fire toes, but how accurate or did you have a chance to fire a few of those? Were they good? I fired quite a few of those, yes. Not as many as you would suspect because back then they were about $10,000 a missile. And I think 12,000, but if there was an inner round which had everything but the warhead, it was maybe a couple of thousand dollars cheaper. So you fired more of the ones without a warhead than you fired with the warhead. And since they were so expensive because they're $2,000 cheaper. No, I mean, but what would the inert, what would, without the warhead, what could you actually do with it? Would it just disable it or? It just wouldn't explode at the end, but it's the same thing. And the purpose of the training was it's wire guided and you have to guide it all the way. Oh, you mean in the training. I was talking about though, like in actual combat though. Oh, no, no, they're all live. We had a combat load. So, you know, I had- I was going, who's firing in inert rounds? No, no, no, no, no, in training. But no, we had so many missiles that we filled the racks that held the missiles in our Humvees. And then it gave us an extra two to throw on top because we anticipated such an engagement take battle. And we have guys in my company, a Silver Star recipient, Wow. that when we went forward and he, I'll tell his story. He later got a commission about the time he was a corporal and we're under artillery attack from the Iraqis. And he had a mule, a laser designator that we could designate the target for like artillery or bombardment. And he was trying to laze the Iraqi artillery and it was just out of range. So he ran into the minefield to set up in a position so where he could laze that and then successfully did that and destroyed the Iraqi artillery. And he received a Silver Star for that. But then he's gonna get out of the minefield. Yeah, very carefully. A Silver Star and then an ass chewing from the gunning right after that, right? Obviously there were some that were still covered by the sand, but the Iraqis had set those up and we were there for months and the wind blows out there. So a lot of the mines were exposed. You could see them. Oh really? But of course there's probably some that were still covered. So it was dangerous, but for the most part you could see them, but still. Do they put those out in a pattern or they just randomly throw them out there? I don't know how they did it. I never laid any mines, but I'm sure there's a technique and a way to do it to cover an area. But they put out thousands and thousands of mines, all sorts of different, wherever they could buy them from over the course of the rain over there, if Saddam's saying he bought mines. Yeah, well, Saddam and... So we had a guy on, Jeff Sandy was an IRS agent, but he went over after the war. He did the investigation on Tariq Aziz, the oil for food, the huge scam that that was. So that was interesting to realize. They weren't dumb people, they just weren't militarily. He was, that the war between Iraq and Iran for Iran for years is kind of what degraded them. But they were not dumb people, the stuff that they figured out how to scam hundreds of millions of dollars with the oil for food program. You just wonder why, but it's greed, man. You want one country, you want oil, and then pretty soon we got a little war going on. Yep, and they had some, I'll tell you this, people look, and they think that was somewhat a bloodless war over there in the Gulf when we were there. And while we didn't lose very many people, the Iraqis lost a lot of people. They had a tremendous amount of losses. I don't think that we ever kind of disclosed the amount of losses the Iraqis suffered during that ground campaign, but there was a lot of losses. For example, there was the second morning of the ground war, very low ceiling. You couldn't even see that far in front of you because of the fog and stuff like that. And I wasn't at the command post. We were on the perimeter, but suddenly they started seeing these tracer rounds coming out of the fog, and nobody saw these Iraqi tanks and this tank column coming out of the fog. And it was shooting at our command post. But there was the lead tank, and it was the Iraqi tank commander, jumps off his tank, says, I'm surrendering, but the rest of them are coming to attack. And then all of a sudden these tanks started coming out of the fog. And there was even cobras and stuff hovering over the command post, kind of like that scene when you see in Black Hawk Down that we're firing at the Iraqis and the shell casings are landing on the command post. But one of the guys in our platoon, several of them, this guy in particular got a Bronze Star because he had fired off a round toe at a tank, destroyed that tank. And then you're supposed to leave it armed, the actual missile system, because it cuts the wire when you open it up. Well, in his haste and excitement, he disarmed it, which left the wire intact into the missile casing. And he got kind of twisted in it, and he had to discard it, got rid of it, loaded another round in, and destroyed another tank. And Iraqi suffered a tremendous amount of tank destruction and loss. And we destroyed quite a few of those guys over there. Wow, that guy that jumped off initially to surrender, that's leadership from the front, isn't it? Exactly, he knew what he was facing. Apparently nobody else got the memo. Exactly. So you said you were over there for nine months, right? So what was it like? Cause it was, I mean, they called it shock and all, right? It wasn't that long of a war, but were you surprised it ended as quickly as it did? You know, we were, just in a matter of several days. It was very little sleep, moving forward, constantly moving forward into Kuwait towards the objective. And there were a lot of people that kind of wanted to continue on and go into Iraq. I mean, the army hooked around, I think it would be north of us, to cut the Iraqis off, but we pushed through and pushed the Iraqis back so quickly that the army didn't have an opportunity to really cut off the Iraqi army as they retreated back into Iraq. But there was a lot of people that said, let's continue on, let's go to Baghdad, you know? And I'm like- Shades of MacArthur, let's just keep pushing on, you know, let's keep pushing past the 38th parallel and take care of this. But I think the Iraqis had suffered such losses in the media, there was no, you didn't see any reporters over there. There was no cameras, no video cameras, anything like that. And I've heard or read that Bush was kind of concerned about the amount of Iraqi casualties and that it would look like we were piling on and he was concerned about that. And that's one reason why he didn't push on. Plus he had said the objective overall was just to retake Kuwait and give it back to the Kuwaitis. Push Iraq out back to their own borders. Yeah. Wow, man. So you do your time there. When you come back, you still got like what, another year, year and three months? No, I was actually involuntarily extended. So I was more than likely gonna go to the academy in October with my brother in 1990, but I got over there to the Gulf and they said, we're gonna be over here to the duration. And so a matter of fact, I went down, some of the guys who had picked that first recruiting class for recruiting school, all of a sudden they got orders. They had to pack up and they go back to San Diego to go to recruiting school. So I'm like, hmm, I wonder if I've got orders. So I go down to our personnel department and I said, hey, do I have orders for recruiting school? They go, yeah, you got a flight date in January and you're going back to recruiting school. But then in December, I think it was, they did stop loss, which meant if you're in the theater, you're there till the end. And my actual EAS was in February. So February came and left and I was still over there and had to stay for the duration. And it's what they call an involuntary extension of the convenience of the government. So I came back. Did that get you any favors for later? It does not. And nothing, nothing extra. Of course not, yeah. Yep. So I come back and the Marine Corps tells me, cause I've already reenlisted once, sold a lot of terminal leave cause I had just got married and you can only sell back 60 in a career. And I sold back 30. So I had more leave than I could actually take or sell back. Cause the Marine Corps says, you're going to be out in 30 days. Well, I'd called, when I got back, I'd called LAPD. My brother, I got back just before my brother graduated the Academy, got to go to his graduation at the Academy. And LAPD says, hey, you're great. You're going to be in the next Academy class, but we've got a hiring freeze. And that hiring freeze lasted for a year. And so I had to start looking for alternatives. And San Bernardino was recruiting on Camp Pendleton, San Bernardino Police Department. And I didn't really know where San Bernardino was. I do a little bit, but I'd never been there in my life. And they were advertising on the Camp Pendleton newspaper. So I applied and literally got through the entire process in a month and a half. And my last day in the Marine Corps, my first official day in the police Academy was my last official day in the Marine Corps. But you had no thoughts about extending and staying on with the Marines. You were just at that point, were you done? I was done. I'd already had checked out. I knew that I was going to be making more money as a cop even starting out than I was as a Sergeant in the Marines. Well, that says a hell of a lot about the pay where you can say, I'm going to make more as a cop. Yeah. Very few occupations you can say that about. And the pension was better. I remember everybody was always sold on the Marine Corps that you're going to get 50% of your income for the rest of your life. And at the time I started in police work, it was 60%. So I was like, man, this is great. I'm going to get 10% more in my pension than I would have if I was in the military. And obviously it changed over time and I retired at 90%, which is pretty phenomenal, I have to tell you.

"mcbride" Discussed on Game of Crimes
"All right, you guys, you players, you play wretches, dudettes, amigos, amigos, everybody out there in between, hey, we've got part of a family affair going on here because the name McBride is synonymous with several things from, you know, one part of the country to the other. But we've got Eric McBride here. We did a good intro with you, Eric, but hey, first of all, welcome, my friend, to Game of Crimes. Thank you. That's it. You can see he's a man of many words. Glad to be here. You guys are studs. Happy to be here. Glad to be here. This is outstanding. You know, I love to be here. He still hadn't quite figured us out yet, Morgan. He's like, who are these two guys? I'm still a little starstruck. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know about that. No autographs, please, and no pictures. We'll talk about that later. Hey, dude, well, we actually caught you when we turned this on. I looked, it's like you're at a training session somewhere and I looked at your unmade bed. I'm going, that would never stand. Weren't you a Marine formerly on active duty? I was. I spent six and a half years in the Marines. Yep. So why is your bed unmade, Marine? You know what? It seems like the further I get away from the Marine Corps, the less and less of those habits that I lose. You're able to get rid of them, right? Yep. Well, hey, well, this is me saluting you. My son-in-law was a Marine formerly on active duty, actually served in the second Gulf War under Mattis. He was over in Afghanistan. So, but we're going to talk about that. But as we do with everybody, Colson Ulster, thing of ours, how did you get started in this thing of ours? Were you like hanging around one day and you know, you just decided to shoplift some stuff and the cops arrested and you thought, hey, I'd rather do that than go to jail, which you won't do these days. But back then we used to go to jail for that stuff. You know, I didn't necessarily grow up in a family of cops. You know, my dad, neither of my parents graduated high school. My dad was a truck driver. And I do have some family legacy on my mother's side, on my maternal grandmother's side that replaced chiefs and the last frontier U.S. marshal in California and so forth and so on. But my interest- Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no. You don't skip past that. The last frontier marshal and so on. Blah, blah, blah. Whoa, wait a minute. Let's rewind that a little bit. What was the last frontier marshal in California? You know, I think it was, at least that's on the U.S. marshal's website. That's with how they classify it. And he was the last Western frontier U.S. marshal. And prior to that, he was the Ventura County Sheriff. I grew up in Ventura County, in Ventura itself. And our family's been there since the 1870s in Ventura County and up in Ojai specifically, a lot of them, which is a small little town up in the hills. And he became the sheriff when my grandmother was a young kid. She was, I think his side of the family was cousins to my grandmother and became the Ventura County Sheriff, longtime serving County Sheriff, and then was appointed as the U.S. marshal for the Western United States. And then he has another relative that was the police chief in Oxnard and stuff. So there is a little bit there, but it was several decades before it became to me and my brothers and it became cops. Yeah. Now your family is like all over Southern California in law enforcement, right? Yeah. We got quite a few members at the Los Angeles Police Department. I have a cousin that worked for me at San Bernardino PD. And then my daughter works there as a civilian investigator. And so, yeah, we have a lot of family members that are police officers. And I can see the family resemblance. You know, what's funny is every time I see someone from LAPD, they kind of stare at me at first and they look at me and then they go, are you a McBride? He goes, is it that obvious? It doesn't help when the other McBride is on TV all the time too. So, you know, him and I have swapped spots on Fox and there's some other stuff. But yeah. I kind of decide by their reaction on how they ask whether I want to actually acknowledge it or not. And you got a couple of nieces in there too, right? Yeah, I do. Both. I have two nieces that work for LAPD as well. Yep. Absolutely. Wow. Wow, man. When we said Colson Oster thing of ours, this really is the family. They didn't decide to move in and take over. But, you know, going back to that, I never, you know, sure. I watched the cop shows. I think as all kids did at Myra, like Chips and SWAT and all that stuff. But that wasn't... Thank God. You didn't mention Miami Vice. No. Never. That was kind of a little bit later. They weren't real cops. Give me a break. Come on. Give me a break. There you go. Haha. But, you know, I wanted to be a Marine and I always did. And so much so that I graduated high school early. I had to take a couple of classes at a continuation school to get enough units to graduate early. So I enlisted when I was at 17 years old and I was a junior in high school. And there's a little bit of an interesting story on that. But anyway, so... No, no, no, no, no. You don't... I have to get to that. Okay. So I go down to the MEPS station and I had to get a... What's the acronym? It's... You know, I can't remember what it is. It's the military processing place where all the recruits go to get your physical and all that stuff to go into the military. And it's MEPS. I can't remember exactly at this moment when you put me on guard like that to remember what it is. But so since I wasn't a high school graduate, I had to get what they call a Will Grad Letter. And that's basically saying that he's a high school senior and he's going to graduate within a year because you go do a year deal at entry. But I was a high school junior. So I took the letter down to the high school. They crossed out senior and they wrote junior. So I go down there and I'm enlisted in the Marines and I want to be in the infantry. So I go through the whole day. It's a whole day long process. I get the final spot and the master gunnery sergeant, master sergeant in the Marines, whatever he was at that time, says, hey, everything looks good, but are you a high school junior? And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, well, we don't enlist high school juniors. You have to be a high school senior or senior status. So they sent me home. My recruiter said, and I had a good relationship with my recruiter, he's like, you're a failure. You failed. I'm going to call you McFailure from now on. So the indoctrination starts early. So we schemed. And back then, I couldn't believe the stuff they got away with. Now looking back almost 40 years, but the recruiter used to give me the keys to the government car. And I used to drive all over town doing errands for him and stuff like that. I couldn't imagine doing that and giving some 17-year-old kid the keys to the government ride and letting him drive around town. But we waited about a month and the recruiter says, hey, go back down there to your high school. Tell them this is a federal form. They cannot modify it, line anything out. All they can do is fill in the blanks. So I go down there and see the high school counselor. I said, hey, all you can do is fill out the date of when I'm going to graduate. So they did. They didn't cross out senior, but I was still a junior. So I went back down to MEPS, did the whole thing. And I get to the very end and the master said, hey, weren't you here about a month ago? I'm like, yes, sir. And he says, were you a high school junior then? I'm like, yeah. And he goes, well, it says you're a senior now. Sign right here. There you go. So that was it. It was off and running. So I was on delayed entry. Raise your right hand. Repeat after me. So I was on delayed entry for a year. I was so motivated. I couldn't wait. And then I went to boot camp. But flash forward to... What did you do for that year, though? I finished up my summer break and then went to the first six months or whatever months of that first semester of my senior year of high school, graduated mid-term. And then two weeks later, I was in boot camp. I graduated boot camp before my class graduated high school.

"Ola, ola, ola, amigos, amigos, players, playerettes, dudettes, everybody in between, welcome back. This is the follow-on episode to last week with Rick Prado on the 22nd anniversary of 9-11. We had a theme going here, we wanted to follow through on this next theme, and we'll tell you about that here in just a second, but first of all, welcome. As always, I'm here. I'm Morgan. I'm here literally with my partner in crime, and we're going to do what we did last time. I know some of you guys like small town police water, but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do that when we're talking about something as serious as when we talked about 9-11. And then this month we're talking with Eric McBride. He retired as the chief of police in San Bernardino City. If you guys remember, Alex Collins we had on was a deputy with San Bernardino County. His partner was killed, Jamie McBride. He was wounded by a piece of shit. We don't even want to mention his name. But we're getting into now the December 2015 terrorist attack at the city of San Bernardino. Fourteen people killed, I think twenty-seven wounded, and it just didn't seem right to follow on. You know, we wanted to have a couple serious discussions, so that's kind of what it was. So before we get started though, just a couple quick things. Head on over to Apple, Spotify, hit those five stars. Let us know what you thought of last week's episode. Let us know what you think of this week's episode. And don't worry folks, next week we'll get back into small town police water. Also head on over to our website, gameofcrimespodcast.com, our book from our prior guest, Rick Prado.

We just recorded some great episodes. You can't make this shit up. We've got 9-1-1, Case of the Month. One rule we made is Murph never gets to pick a movie again. He has to submit it for review before we review it. I promise to do better in the future. Well, because you're on the hook for next month. All right. But guys, we have a lot of good stuff over there. Everything about, you know, we get into funny stuff, we get into serious stuff. Our Case of the Month has been recommended by you, the listeners out there. So head on over there, patreon.com slash gameofcrimes. Now this is a show about crime. We normally are fun and jovial because this is a show about crime. We talk about bad people doing bad things and bad people doing bad things to good people. We take the story seriously and that's how we're going to do it. This is not about us having fun and joking at the expense of a serious incident like this. So our next guest, Aaron McBride, like we said, retired as the chief of police, worked his way up from patrol officer, but started off as a Marine, formerly on active duty. He's got some good stories there, but he comes to us through another long list of people, a family of service, the McBrides out in California. He does. You know, our good buddy out in San Diego, Mel Sosa, made an introduction for us, got us to Eric. But the McBride family is well known in the law enforcement circles out there as brother Jamie, his niece Tony, and then Jamie's other daughter are all police officers out there that have experienced violence that, you know what, most cops in the United States don't have to experience. I'm not sure what's going on with the McBride family here, but you know what, they don't shy away from it and they don't run away. They address the issues as they come to them, and they're protecting their communities. Eric here was just the fact that, I mean, he's a trendsetter. You're going to hear him talk about his high school career, getting out of high school early so he could join the Marine Corps early. And his whole life is service to his community and his fellow man. And you know, in my book, there's no greater calling that you're willing to dedicate your life to work for the public. A public servant, I think, is a term of a hero. And that's certainly who we have on here today. And I'll tell you, again, we've got to thank our buddies out there, Southern California Gang Conference, Mel Sosa, all of those people. They're brothers to us. They get us great gifts, great gifts, great guests, which are gifts for things like this. And I'll tell you, you've really got to sit down and listen to this because one of the things that's going to come out of this is stuff that has not really been talked about in the media before, and you'll hear him talk about a call that was received. He's been briefing this to law enforcement. On the day of, he was the, quote, deputy incident commander, but he was the incident commander for all intents and purposes. And so he's not the one at the tip of the spear out there, but this guy has the overview of everything going on. You're going to hear things that went well. You're going to hear about things that didn't go so well. But we will never get to hearing any of this, Murph, unless I ask you, are you ready to play the biggest, baddest? And as we see in this episode, too, the most dangerous game of all, the game of crime. Absolutely. So everybody get in, sit down, shut up, hold on. You're getting ready to hear a story about an incident that I wasn't even aware of, a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California. So Eric, tell us what's going on, brother.

I'm here with Jared. Hey, how's it going? Great, and we're here with Claire and Matt. Welcome Claire and Matt. Hi happy to be here. Thank you. Thank you we're gonna start with just getting to know you if you can tell us about who you are and What you do we're talking to church historians here and we're excited to learn more about what you do Well, I'm Claire Haney, I'm an associate historian with the church history department I've been there for a little over four years My background is in history from BYU and a master's degree in history from Oxford University I've been with the church history department ever since I graduated Cool. What about you Matt? My Matt McBride and I'm the director of publications for church history. I'm a historian I was trying I went to graduate school up at the University of Utah and I've worked at the church history department for about 12 years and love it. We work on the Joseph Smith papers. We work on Saints, which is the church's official history the four volume history and It's just a really great place to be So we're here today and we're talking in the context of YSAs and YSA leaders and we kind of just wanted to outline What are you hoping to accomplish here today and talking about churches for your other topics as well? Well as a As a member of this demographic as a YSA myself I would say I have a lot of close friends and family members who have struggled with church history questions and have not always known how to find the right resources and have not always been met with with empathy and with understanding as they've brought those questions to leaders in the church So what we're hoping to do today is is provide some some helpful tips and guidance of how to help leaders and and Those they lead to feel like they have access to the resources that they need to find answers to their questions maybe add that All of us may be in one way or another experience that something traumatic in our in our lives And it certainly can be traumatic sometimes to discover something about church history that that maybe troubles you or something You didn't know about and it's new but one of the most important Things that somebody who's had that kind of an experience needs is a nurturing relationship to help them through it and so so I think that's maybe the most important thing we could focus on is how We can as people in a position to counsel and help and support those who have questions about church history How can we how can we provide that kind of a nurturing relationship that will help them land in a in a good place? Thank you for that Being a YSA too.

How the Capitol Police Had Infiltrators Among the J6 Protesters
"So the new development is that we now have federal prosecutors admitting in court. That Metropolitan Police department undercover officers acted as provocateurs. At the northern steps of the U.S. capitol on January 6th. Now you'll remember you may remember I had January 6th attorney Joseph McBride on. And he talked about this. He talked about the fact that there weren't just FBI instigators. FBI plans that the Proud Boys and the three percenters and the oath keepers. But there were also Metropolitan Police dressed up in sort of maga outfits or back the blue or just American patriotic gear. And they were in the crowd, and they were egging on the crowd. So we had this coming from a January 6th attorney, but what we didn't have is all the video showing it. And what we didn't have was the prosecutors admitting it. Yes, this was true. We did have our guys. They were doing this that video is in fact accurate. Now, there's one of the defendants, his name is William Pope, he's from Topeka, Kansas. And he has asked the judge a fellow in judge Contreras, Rudolph Contreras. U.S. district judge, I need to have the video that shows these undercover Metropolitan Police. Doing this stuff. And the prosecution is like, no, no, judge, you can give him the video, and the judge is like, well, why not? Isn't he entitled to the video? Yeah, but he wants to release the video publicly. So if you give the video over to the defendant, he's welcome to, in fact, in this case, this William pulp fellows representing himself, there's nothing to prohibit him from releasing the video. No one denies the video is authentic, it's video that was taken really by the government itself, but we have the assistant U.S. attorney. This is Kelly Moran. The defendant is not entitled to undesignated these videos to share them with unlimited third parties, his desire to try the case in the media rather than the court of law is illegitimate. No one says he's trying the case in the media. He's just releasing the videos because he thinks the public would like to know that you see undercover cops not only egging the crowd on rah rah rah, but pushing them and driving them in the direction of the capital. It's almost like they want them to go into the capital because they are trying to lead them into a trap.

Did Fox Shoot Down Tucker's J6 Footage? Joseph McBride Weighs In
"Joey, you mentioned this word and trap meant. And you also mentioned the uphill battle in which you're trying to navigate against swamp judges and swamp juries and the whole kind of contaminated D.C. environment. The question I have is this. I mean, it seems finally that there is new information coming out about January 6th. Tucker Carlson, of course, had some videos a week or so ago. Let me start with that because there was new information on the shaman guy Joseph a Jacob chansley, but there was then a sort of, as far as I could tell, an abrupt halt in the videos. I mean, if you have 40,000 hours of footage, it's preposterous to me that you'd find three clips. Speaking, honestly, do you think that Fox kind of got to Tucker and shut him down? Because expectations were so high. And while what was delivered, the first day was pretty impressive, it appears like what? That's it. There's nothing more. What are your thoughts about this? So my inclinations are, I think I share with the general public shares, right? Tucker's team is incredibly talented. They did in their defense have a limited time to go through the stuff we've been going through this stuff for two years. They had a few weeks, but within that time they were able to focus on Jacob chansley and lies about all the specific. I thought he did a good job there. I did think that on the second night that something distinctly different happened. There are different theories about that. One theory is that the producers of the higher ups at Fox News likely shut them down. I think that that makes sense. I can speak from experience and having gone on Tucker's show. You know, I had been over the target on his show with regard to some similar matters and I kind of got shot down too. And when you're over the target, people get very uncomfortable and the powers that be tend to pull the plug on situations like that.

Dinesh Interviews Attorney Joseph McBride About New J6 Info
"You released just a couple of days ago, really interesting document. In fact, I noticed a Julie Kelly commented, I've never seen this document before, and elaborate pre planning scheme by the capitol police for what was going to happen on January 6th. Talk a little bit about where you got the document and talk about the significance of it. What's in the document? So the good, to be honest, great to see you. And as always, very much appreciative. Of your work. So got the document about a year ago there and actually two documents. There's one that pertains to the Metropolitan Police department is another one that pertains to the capitol police. So the big one pertains to the Metropolitan Police department. That was given to me by somebody from the privates called the private world about a year ago. So the document had been circulating circulating, it was leaked. I obtained it through through pride and hints, and I sat on to it for sat on it for a while. Wondering, sort of seeing how the government was going to deal with it once it knew it was in circulation. And what did the government do? Apparently the government moves to have it suppressed, not maybe moved in court, but they made it subject to their protective order and what they did was they shielded it from the prying eyes of the public. Government should have never have done this, right? It's wrong. I obtained it through private hands that did not obtain it through the relatively database or anything like that. So I was wealthy my race to share it. I chose to share it at this time because the government has long been on the record saying that, you know, the idea that plainclothes officers were in the crowd on January 6th be the Metropolitan Police or capitol police was simply a lie that attorneys like myself or commentators and political journalists like yourself who made such a comment in that direction are peddling a conspiracy theories, nothing could have been further from the truth. This document unequally proves it. The capitol police document as well. It's about 20 pages, something like that. And the first paragraph of the page, they speak about concerns about antifa and in all of our trials, we've spoken about antifa at length. Judges have shut us down, prosecutors have mocked us, told us that it was a figment of our imagination. Imagination, and that our clients were lying, turns out the capitol police in the Metropolitan Police shared the same concerns as a Trump supporter who showed up with protective gear on January 6th.

The Bad News for J6 Defendants Keeps Coming...
"The bad news for January 6th defendants continues, you might know the case of Richard Barnett, this is a 61 year old guy. In fact, he's the guy who put his feet up on the desk of Nancy Pelosi's office, and you could sort of see him grinning as he did that. But this is a guy who went into the capitol, he didn't hurt his soul. We'd in vandalize any property. And guess what? He is facing up to 20 years. I repeat 20 years in prison. Now, this is nuts. It's not, and it's only explained by the fact that you've got swamp, judges, and you've got a swamp D.C. jury that is not giving these guys a fair hearing, they're not giving them a fair trial. And they don't get fair sentences. I mean, even if they are found guilty of doing what they did, obstructing justice, which this guy didn't do. Nevertheless, you need to have penalties proportionate to the crime. And in case after case, this is obviously not happening. Now, Joseph McBride, the lawyer who's been on this podcast who represented Richard Barnett. Made a motion to move the trial out of D.C., said, listen, you got 92% of people in D.C., 92 to 95% of people in D.C. voting for Biden. So in what sense is this guy getting a jury of a spear as you just, it's just political vengeance that is being inflicted on him by people who hate what he believes and what he stands for and in a sense quote wants to teach him a lesson in other people a lesson by destroying his life.

"Do you want to roll a dice and go to trial in front of a D.C. jury who's 96%? Joe Biden voters on a good day, never mind how they feel about you and Trump and calling you an insurrectionist or you just want to take the deal and go home and deal with it and take what's coming to you. But we're going to fight. We're going to go in there and give it our best shot. We think and we ask how did the venue changed? We believe that we can't get a fair trial there. But if it's the choice between taking a very unfair plea and fighting for truth and justice and for his exoneration, we're going to go in there and we're going to fight. And I think before I move on to the next thing, I think one of my biggest issues is exactly what you just said. And again, I am not defending going into that capital that day, me personally wouldn't have done it. Just my opinion. But you're right. And most people wouldn't, right? But we have this idea that like these insurrectionists, like it's a bad mood, like a scary movie, right? Or like one of those old movies where they take over the plane and then they start killing people. Most of these people, you see some of these pictures and you're like, oh my God, this is an absolute hilarious joke. Like they're in there, the one guy with the flag with his cheese face and like the lady just sitting on the floor with her feet cross. Just the 90 year old woman that was these are not people that were going to go kill Nancy Pelosi. I'm sorry. It's just not what it was. And to say that it was, it's so ridiculous. It's such hyperbole. It's nuts. And again, I'm not defending it. I'm going to tell you right now if these as they call them insurrectionists that these conservatives that are gun wielding wanted to do serious harm that day, I'm betting they could have. Look, I don't know of any insurrection in the history of the world that was achieved without the firing of a gun or the impaling of somebody with a sword, so on and so forth. I mean, what are we really talking about here? It's ridiculous. When you think about the famous, you know, the famous civil rights marches. You have mobs of African American people joined by white Latino and other people supporters, but in the 1960s, 1950s and walking down the Selma, they're walking down to Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana, North Carolina, Georgia, whatever it is. And they walk down and they say to the government, we object to the way that you're treating black people. We think that there should be equal opportunity in the law. We should drink at the same fountains. We should get to ride in front of the bus. We're not a sub human sub constitutional class where human beings with human rights and we have a right to coexist with everybody else here. It's just as equally as you and to prove our point, we're going to enter into this building, capitol building, a movie theater, whatever it is. And we're all going to sit down on the floor. And we're going to sit down and we're going to demonstrate civil disobedience. You're going to have to drag us out of here and cuffs. We're going to be peaceful. But we're not going unless you drag us out because we want you to know that our presence needs to be felt today.

"Today Joseph McBride, federal criminal defense and civil rights attorney. Going to talk a lot about January 6th today because it just doesn't stop coming up with the news. First off, Joseph, thank you for joining us. Mike, it's good to be here. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. So I want to start and go back low to almost three years now. Let's talk a little bit about that day because I know you represent some people that were a part of that day. If you watch the news, you would think that it was 9 11 all over again. And I don't say that lightly. I know you're from downstate and that's a day that I'm sure you remember, we do. But that's what not only that me using that comparison. That's what they tell us it was like, right? That's what the media tells us. It was like, it was like Pearl Harbor, which were recording on Pearl Harbor day today. That's what they've told us what happened that day and what it looked like. From what you've seen and now people you've represented, tell us a little bit about that day and what truly happened at the capitol. That's a good point. And today is December 7th, right? A day that shall live in infamy as FDR put it. We do not know everything that happened about the Kennedy assassination because the government was involved. If the cameras and the iPhones were rolling back on that day, we'd have a lot more clarity. The government would have to suppress a whole lot more information. And it would look a lot more like January 6th than the Kennedy situation looked like back then. Why do I say that? I say that because any time you have the government pressuring the public to get the public to think that anything is like 9 11, when it's clearly not, you have to ask yourself well, why is that happening? As you correctly stated, I am from downstairs from Brooklyn, my office is in Manhattan. I remember 9 11 fantastically. It wasn't a fantastic day, but it's a part of my memory that will be etched in. My memory and my soul forever, I'll never be the same in the world will never be the same. The world hasn't been the same. Why? Why is that? Well, because everything after 9 11 changed. People were scared, we heard about these 19 guys who were training on a jungle gym and in Afghanistan and all of a sudden, every person of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent with a beard who dressed in religious garb was a threat. How did we get there? We got there because of the propaganda machine that was driven by the media. And that was driven by the United States government. It was so strong at some point that if you or I or anyone else got onto a plane in 2005, 2002, 2007, and let's keep it real. If we saw a guy who was dressed in religious Muslim gear, you'd look at that guy and you go, oh no, I'm doing the sign of the cross because it's my plane going to go down. Chances are that guy is a better guy than me. Chances are that guy praised 5 times a day he's probably married, probably has 5 to 7 kids. Doesn't do doesn't do drugs. Doesn't drink properly pays his taxes. But because I listened to what I saw on the TV and I saw George Bush up there saying, hey, these people are all the enemy. I bought into the narrative.

No-Sanctuary Cities: The Talibans Latest Surge
"The american government has been attempting to draw attention to its evacuation of translators and others who helped in its two decades of war in afghanistan. Since the first of this year power consular staff in kabul has issued over five thousand special immigrant visas and interviewed thousands more but the administration would doubtless prefer to draw attention away from his this over the weekend. Taliban insurgents made inroads in the cities of herat lashkar gar and kandahar as american forces have withdrawn in the past. Couple of months taliban has surged taking district after district setting parallel governments in much of the country's rural expense. What they seem determined to do next would put the country right back where it was two decades ago. The taliban are advancing on the streets of three big afghan cities provincial capitals. Edward mcbride is the economists. Deputy foreign editor. It's really a sign that the momentum in the afghan civil war is with the taliban. It's a fight far bigger than we've seen over the past couple of months. It'll be tremendously worrying to the afghan security forces. Can they hold on and can they hold back the taliban assault and this comes clearly as american forces are almost completely withdrawn. Now what resistance against the taliban is left afghanistan so america announced it sort of final withdrawal from afghanistan. It's due to be completed by the middle of august. Those troops are really already gone. A tiny number remaining in fact american ground forces hadn't been playing a big part in the war for some time now but american air support played a critical role in fighting has done for the past twenty years but those planes are no longer in afghanistan. They do still sometimes come to the aid of the afghan security forces. But they're now much further away.

And how it just energized so well with your other healing work that you're doing with with bodywork and and how it has been Kind of a crux and a cornerstone of the work that you do with the plants. I think it's just really really cool. Because i think it's one area of herbal medicine that you know maybe people just kind of glaze over really quickly though they go game at school. But what's next You know what i mean like. Maybe they don't give it as much thought as it may be should be given because it is such a powerful potent way of working with and understanding and learning about the plans. Like you're talking about so. I'm curious if you can share a little bit more about how people might be able to learn more about your work with herbal oils. And got anything coming up. That people might want to tune into things like that. Yeah thank you. Say john yang. I'm on that candy. Mcbride dot com always. Find me there and you know. I just want to say one more thing. Is that the thing. I love about the herbal oil. Applications is not only. Is it just all this healing that you get but it's also one of the other things that we really need is herbalist is body literacy. You know like oh there's the herbs and then there's like then there's the body right it's like putting those two things together in the oils to wanna nice sweet slow ride body literacy knowing what you like where you like it when you like it how you like it. What makes you feel better and being empowered with being able to do that. And it doesn't happen overnight.

And i feel like there's also an element of being able to create that culture that you want in your own family. Maybe it doesn't have to be everyone. You know the whole country or even in your whole city or even in your neighborhood but maybe just within your own home you create the kind of culture that you want to have where maybe you really honor and recognize the changing of the seasons with some form of intentional ceremony or blessing or something. You know what i mean every day. We're gonna take care of ourselves in this way because this is the way our family operates and i just feel like that's so great Talking about culture and bringing that to life within the home and within the family. And just. Yeah i don't know i just feel like there is something about remembering our heritage. That is so important as herbalists and as healers and i guess. I'm just curious on what that process has been like for you. I mean he sounds like you. Six generation i think you said people kind of connected to the earth and wild crafting and i guess. I'm just curious if you can speak a little bit more to that dynamic of our heritage in our culture a little more. Yeah such a big question. So so many people listening Everybody's background is so different. What the experience is so different. Some people you know. They were put in schools and beaten and killed if they spoke their language or practice their medicine. You know right and just so many different experiences Or people that were enslaved and they just you know. They could not practice anything that that they came with. And for i know for irish scottish heritage. I know Just do some of my research a lot of the early mills in the factories and even like four. This was documented in one of the documentaries that on ford motor like when they were all living in these camps if if people were caught Using their medicine creating traditional foods singing their songs they were punished off fired. You know so. There was a lot of the The early industrial factories there was a real push to just not have to have people all become one thing so that they could be controlled and so we all have this level of our you know but then there in and then there are some cultures that they were able to keep it intact. you know. so everybody's got a different experiences. Each person has to make that connection. Look for that threat. Look for those you know. I call it just like so that they can wear that cloak again. We're it's just a few threads in the lifetime. I feel like i've gathered up. You threads literally like okay. I got okay. I know about this plan. My grandmother on my mom's side..

Forces to be reckoned with: Afghan peace talks
"Today. Russia will host a conference on afghanistan aimed at supporting the peace process. The talks will bring together the afghan government and representatives of the taliban as well as several international players including america. The meeting comes at a crucial time for afghanistan. Last february following negotiations with the taliban the trump administration agreed to withdraw all american troops by may first of this year on tuesday president. Joe biden told george stephanopoulos of abc news. That america may miss that deadline. I'm in the process of making that decision. Now as to when they'll leave the fact is that very solidly negotiated deal that The president the former president worked out. And so we're in consultation with our allies as well as the government and That decision's gonna be. It's process now likely to take longer. I think a lot longer but may i. It's tough could happen but it is tough because as it stands there are two and a half thousand american troops and a thousand more special operations forces in afghanistan. that's down from a peak of more than one hundred thousand as with its predecessors. Mr biden's administration will be keen to end america's longest war who premature departure could spell disaster. The peace conference being held today in moscow is an attempt to bring together the taliban insurgents and the afghan government to try and come up with some kind of arrangement for how afghanistan could be run in future and therefore stop the war between those two sides. Edward mcbride is our asia editor. This is just one of several peace conferences underway or planned. There's going to be another peace conference in turkey. In april and for months now there have been peace talks underway between the afghan government and the taliban in qatar. And they haven't been making much headway. Which is why. Russia and the. Us have tried these new initiatives and one big question looming over all this is whether or not to the biden administration will fulfil the promise to pull out troops by may first. What does it look like for for that commitment. That deadline was agreed in separate peace talks between america and the taliban concluded over a year ago under the administration of donald trump and it always looked quite optimistic and i think the difficulty for the biden administration is to decide whether or not to stick to that deadline on the one hand if they take all the troops out. The taliban may decide to hell with the peace talks. We'll just try and overrun the afghan government by conquest. And that would obviously look very embarrassing and would call into question all the work that the us has done over the past twenty years to try and institute a different kind of government within afghanistan on the other hand. If they say they're going to stay and ignore the deadline of may i. Then they face the prospect of renewed taliban offensive so then there's the prospect that america will find itself embroiled justice heavily as it has been for twenty years in the afghan civil war more american casualties and more expense and difficulty without any clear prospect of how the war might end but coming to a decision on those questions is exactly what these peace talks are about right absolutely so in theory. The peace talks provide a great way out for everyone. The hitch is that the peace talks that have been underway encounter for many months. Now have not yielded any kind of a breakthrough and unfortunately there's not much reason to expect the talks today in russia or indeed the talks in turkey next month to yield any more of a breakthrough and so why the impasse for what that. They're not getting the bottom line really. Is that both. The taliban and the afghan government think of themselves as the rightful rulers of afghanistan. And they're not really working to their own schedules. Right hold process has been determined by the fact that the trump administration originally but by administration now are both keen to end america's longest war neither within telenor within the afghan government has the sort of internal process of deciding how much they're willing to give up really preceded far enough to meet that deadline of the first of may the way out of the impasse that america has been pushing in recent days is sort of power sharing agreement whereby both the taliban and the afghan government come together to form a government of national unity. Where they both control some ministries. Perhaps they both have some kind of control over the security forces and whilst in that power sharing government they reach some kind of final agreement about a new constitution or a new sort of power structure. The problem is neither side has really agreed to to both are worried about being justice. Sort of adjunct to the real power within a power sharing agreement neither side is very comfortable sharing power with the other because they've been fighting for so long and what about that. Fighting now has the taliban been honoring its side of the agreements. The have been made while the peace negotiations are going on right so there. Lots of people who think that the taliban just isn't sincere about this whole process that it's got an advantage on the battlefield that the area under the government's control keeps shrinking. The taliban is just waiting for america to go before it pushes it should vantage and certainly even though the taliban agreed not to attack american troops it never agreed not to attack the government troops and it continued its campaign and even in a certain sense increased it insofar as there have been a series of tax representatives of civil society the kind of urban elite in kabul assassinations bombings. The taliban sometimes denies being a part of but the one suspects. It's behind the taliban. I think see this violence as their strongest card. The government has to negotiate. Because it's very much under the cosh from the town of forces on the ground but that bloodshed also makes it really difficult for america just to up sticks and go right now because it really does look like america's abandoning the afghan government to its fate. And so do you think that points to the biden administration. Being rather forced to delay any troop withdrawals. I think what america's looking for is some kind of middle way where the talks seem to be making enough progress or there's some kind of idea of where we're headed that they can agree with the taliban a bit of an extension and not actually have to stick to that deadline of the first of may but also not have to sort of down on backing the afghan government with a renewed troop presence. I think the instincts of the biden administration really similar to the instincts of the trump administration. They don't really think that it's going to be possible to build a strong modern nation state in afghanistan. They don't want to be embroiled in a war. That just drags on forever. So i think the by administration is looking for any way can to get the troops out of afghanistan and without the afghan government collapsing or some kind of horror unfolding in terms of an escalation of the civil war. The thing we don't know is whether the taliban is willing to sort of provide the biden administration that option and give substance to all these different peace talks or whether it thinks after twenty years it has finally beaten america and it does indeed intends to take over the country as soon as the american troops are gone. We still don't quite know the answer to that question. And that's what all of this hinges on

What Comes Next? Expert Advice on Working Our Way Out of the Pandemic
"Get things started. I'm joined by Dr Lucy McBride, practicing internist, Healthcare educator and mental health advocate who recently wrote a piece for The Washington Post on what comes next as we continue to work our way out of this pandemic, Dr McBride thanks for taking a few minutes to talk to us about this. Obviously everyone wants to put this difficult chapter of their life behind them. But you point out that there may be some struggles along the way as we get back to some kind of normal. What was it that led you to write this column for the Washington Post. Thank you. First of all for having me. I'm delighted to be here with you today. Um, the reason I wrote, this piece is because right now, we are about to face re entry as the country is being blanketed with vaccine doses and as the production and distribution ramps up We are facing the prospect of reentering life going back to school going back to work if we weren't working already which many of us are, um, going back to socializing hanging out with friends, hugging people traveling going to restaurants? And while that is something that we have been craving for 12 months Get the transition and what I've been talking about for 12 months and actually for my entire career is that you know our mental health is in is relevant to our our everyday lives and our everyday thoughts and feelings. And our mental health has been challenged for the last 12 months. We have been through what I would call a Collective trauma. It's only normal then, as we emerge from a trauma to have ambivalence and anxiety, even if the thing you're getting is better than what you have. How much does the fact that we don't have a playbook for this? This is a brand new experience for all of us. How much does that play into all of this? Absolutely a place. And you know when we are faced with a threat like Corona virus, you know, unique threat. That is invisible. If ubiquitous, it doesn't have a cure. Of course, the vaccine is the vaccines are marvelous, but for a long time we haven't had any way to control it other than our own behavior. We crave, um, control we crave certainty. We've all been dealing with this sort of low grade and in many cases, high grade level of fear and anxiety and vulnerability that Is universal. Really? It's you know, my patients think that it's unique to them that they're really anxious. And Heather and I say to them every day, you know this is normal. We are wired for survival as human beings. When we're faced with a threat like covert 19, it's normal to be anxious to have a heart racing heart palpitations. Tightness in their muscles, sleeplessness jitteriness affect your behavior. And so it's only normal then to be craving courtesy. And when we don't have a road map, we don't have a game plan per se. It could be nerve wracking. Let me say, though. That the game plan of widespread vaccination is Truly the past forward and really the only path forward and it's in. It's in. It's coming, so I'm absolutely hopeful that way have we do have we don't have a no game plan. We just It's just not certain. I'm joined by Dr Lucy McBride, practicing internist, Healthcare educator Mental health advocate. She recently wrote a piece for The Washington Post on what comes next. As we continue to work our way out of this pandemic. Are there certain types of people that might struggle with this more? Yes. People who have preexisting anxiety are having a harder time with the uncertainty, vulnerability and fear that the pandemic has brought. Um however, under the umbrella of anxious people are people who had social anxiety, and some of my patients who have social anxiety have actually been Comfortable sitting at home on Saturday nights, and therefore, Jonah, I'm raising my hands right now. Yes, I have a lot of my Saturday night spot on the sofa kids. So you know what? Let's acknowledge. First, kids have suffered enormously being out of school. But some kids, let's say middle school kids high school kids who have social anxiety. You know, that's been actually quite nice for them, but that is not to take away from the enormous emotional trauma two kids. The point is that if you had anxiety before this is not helping if you had depression before The pandemic and the socialist suit. Isolation is not helping. And then if you had an addiction to alcohol, you know other substances. If you were a binge here, for example, a stress eater those things May have flared during the epidemic when you were stripped of the usual coping mechanisms that you had in your regular life, like connecting with loved ones you know, taking, you know, going to the gym. So you know what I'm seeing in my office and the reason why it's relevant for a doctor to be talking about it is because these things affect our

Remembering Chick Corea, Jazz Pianist Who Expanded the Possibilities of the Genre
"Wanna take a moment to reflect on the life of a legendary figure in jazz. Chick corea was keyboardist composer bandleader whose work touched on many genres from classical latin jazz. He died earlier this week. From a rare form of cancer. He was seventy nine bassist christian. Mcbride collaborated with korea for more than two decades. He's also the host of npr's jazz night in america. He joins us now and christian. Welcome i know so. Many people in the music world are so sad today. How are you doing I feel like the rest of them. You know we're we're all sat together. Still in shock still pretty numb from this news because most of us had no idea that he was ill to korea was so well known for collaborating with other artists. You included one of his. Early works was on miles davis's jazz fusion album bitches. Listlessness that kristen. Can you talk about chick. Corea the collaborator. what was he lack. Chick corea the collaborator. One thing about chickens at He was the musician's musician in that. He was always open to ideas suggestions. He was one of the most celebrated and prolific composers and any style of music so a lot of his music was already thoroughly constructive. But the times. I worked with him. He was always open to making a part more specific to a particular player. And you know he was now his own music playing with other people in their groups. Eagles is always the ultimate side. Man look the musician's musician so for you personally. What did it feel like when you were up there playing with them. It felt from me the way it felt for the listener watching chick play in. Because even though i had a chance to work with them very closely for so long i never stopped being fan so i never took him for granted. You know. I got to play with chick quite a bit. But every single gig i would look over and be like man. That's that's chick corea. So i never stopped being a fan. Well as. I'm sure you know every thanksgiving. Npr's all things considered talks with musicians about artists that they're thankful for and in twenty nineteen. The rapper look haley. Forty seven thanked chick korea. And then here. He is now responding to her. It's deeply satisfying really. And it's a testament to all of us as artists able to connect like that able to connect on on a wavelength of creativity. I'm sure it's nice to hear his voice there for you but why do you think is music did resonate with so many different people with different artist. Because he had no agenda he he wrote music strictly from the joy of creating and i actually find that to be somewhat. I don't wanna see rare but it's unusual when you meet someone who writes music simply because they love writing in playing and performing and touching people that that was his objective you know. He's i want people to feel this music. He really wanted his music to be enjoyed by everyone. Bassist christian mcbride hosted. Npr's jazz night in america remembering the legendary chick corea. Who died this week at seventy nine christian. Thank you for your time. And i'm sorry that you've lost your front. Thank you

"Restaurant has been a challenge theaters, museums, ballparks, lots of things we haven't been able to enjoy. So you would think I mean, you would think People would have left well enough alone in these troubled times. But, alas, that's not what has happened with one of our most prized and valued personal items. Toilet paper. Seriously. Have you noticed how it's got Not only thinner but smaller, and here's the big kicker rougher. Nothing has been an indicator of the seriousness of the situation more than toilet paper. Remember a year ago when the shelves were white? Wait a minute, Maybe a bad choice of words there cleared cleared off every roll of toilet paper from the shelves. Ah, black market Using rolls of T. P s currency had to be just around the corner. But those who make the stuff apparently recognized the profit opportunity, and within a few months the toilet paper I'll was fully stocked, just like before. Except it isn't like before. What have you done with our Sherman? And wouldn't Mr Whipple or whatever His name was? You know, the grocery guy who was always rubbing toilet paper on his face on TV years ago. Looking back. That was a little strange. A grown man rubbing toilet paper on himself on television. Anyway, I digress. Life is so different. Long for the days when the toilet paper label brag, because you are really getting 24 rules when it looked like six because it was double or triple ply a foot wide and soft as a baby's behind. Mm hmm. Years ago, a Sacramento Union newspaper columnist took up a cause when our new airport opened with pay toilets. F L U. S H Kurt McBride called it Free Latrines Unlimited for suffering humanity get it flush a worthy cause. Should I mention the pay toilet disappeared at the airport never to return. The power of the press. Have no such dreams of power here. Someday you'll tell your grandchildren how toilet paper used to be, and they'll look at you and wonder. How does this all relate to travel? You say marginally. I'm just peeved about the loss of quality wipes for the derriere. Thanks for listening because, as you know, by now, that is just one man's opinion. Amen. Amen. Brother. I'll tell you Mark a lot of people into little just heard that Get a high five and their radio. Okay, way are the travel guys in his promised. Let's talk of vaccines and travel. The past week, we had three cruise lines announced their policies. Mark, give us an update. Well, Thies air all ocean these air all river cruise lines, so the big ones haven't Announced yet, Attorney stop one of them. NCL is apparently looking at the possibility of requiring passengers to be vaccinated. My guess is one of the reasons they haven't announced the policy. It is because they're waiting for somebody else to do it. They don't want to be first and get it wrong, So they're kind of waiting in my office. We've had a few calls from people asking. I haven't talked to anybody yet. Who said, you know I'm only traveling if everybody is vaccinated, or I'm not getting vaccinated in order to travel, so I haven't seen anybody on Either end yet, But, um, at least some small cruise lines American steamboats that do the river cruises in the United States are going to Ask at the really require starting July the first that everyone be vaccinated and they're going more as importantly, they're gonna vaccinate their crew. So I think those two things Tom up in combination are going to make it just a tad safer for people who want to be out. You know, a couple of other things that are going to make a difference here, too. Um Last week, it was announced that the United States had cut a $230 million deal to provide 15 minute covert tests at home. We've talked about this. I remember last October, saying I thought this would be around in a month or two. Miss that one by a few months, But now there are apparently going to be here soon. And the importance of that. Is that You're going on it on a trip for three or four days or you want to go to the symphony or to a baseball game, and so you buy the tests. Then you take it at home, and you don't have to do it three days beforehand because the tech you don't have to wait for the results they're going to show On your smartphone in 15 or 20 minutes, And so you're going to take this test the night before and it's going to show your fine and your phone's going to show that you're finding in your into the event. You're on the plane. Your whatever it is that you wanted to do, so I think that the combination of the vaccine And the at home test, which may be relevant for some people who don't want to get the vaccine but want to be able to prove that they are reasonably free of of the virus themselves. All right. Well, you know, I I'm totally good with carrying a card that says that I've been vaccinated. If I need any testing, I'll do that. Yeah, I kind of think that's word's going to end up. You know, sooner or later, it's gonna be Positive for getting the vaccine well, and some people have said. Well, if this fact if this virus doesn't go away, you know well, we have to be vaccinated every year, and I don't think anybody knows the answer to that yet, but it's possible you might have to have Some kind of booster shot. I would say it's probable we get a flu shot. Those of us who don't want to get the flu. Go out. Get a flu shot every year. Ryan so it's You know, that doesn't um, e mean that. It's not something that I enjoy doing. My arm usually hurts for a day or so interesting enough. I got the shot about five hours ago, and I don't feel anything in my arm. Wait a minute. My arm fell off. No, I'm just kidding. But anyhow, that is more cruise lines. I think the cruise lines Tom are the place where and Clayton is going to join us after the bottom of the hour, and I'm sure he'll have some thoughts on this because he's a big fan. Of the riverboats. I'm not a huge fan of ocean going cruises personally, but I know we have a lot of people who listen to this program who enjoy cruising, and I would think that being kind of a closed environment. Especially when you're out on the ocean for several days at a time that it becomes even more important there that you don't have a bug floating around the ship on a river boat. You know you can dock in US city and take people who might be off the boat or do whatever it is that you that you might need to do. To fix things, or at least make them a little better words. An oceangoing Cruz seems like and carnival has announced. Ah, Whole bunch. Of things and significantly enough. One of the important things they've said is we are not going to. You're going to wear a mask. And here is where you're gonna wear it. And none of these No. None of the neck gators or our bandannas or anything like that is going to be a legitimate mask, And that's the way it's gonna work.

And so what we do is provide leadership thought leadership and training we also are the home of politifact and the international checking network and media wise and those are all divisions of pointers that help citizens malvo gate journalism. So we were were small. We have sixty seventy employees at any given time but our mission is to elevate journalism in service of democracy. The american people. I believe are having a little bit of problem with that as i told you when we talked before Is i was watching four different screens the other night and i was watching cnn. I was watching. Msnbc and i was watching fox. And i was watching the local news station new york one and i was like watching four different stories in i grew up. I'm much older than you. I grew up in days. Walter cronkite when ninety two percent of the american people. Believe walter cronkite has to say. Do we have a problem in america right now. What what's happened in america. Is that that time that you talk about with walter. Cronkite was a time when there were far fewer news outlets and so as a citizen you had fewer choices to make about which news you would consume and as a result you had a much. Larger proportion of the american public consuming. All of the news outlet so trust was not necessarily an issue because of a lot of things including the invention of cable the invention of the internet The invention of social media we have created a thousand times more news and as a result they have in order to define themselves against each other have chosen lanes and so what you described just watching on tv. Three of those are news outlets that have chosen a specific lane and their cable news outlets that broadcasts twenty four hours a day and so that is a certain genera of news that maybe emblematic of all the other lanes that other news outlets have chosen or not. I mean i. I think that there is a citizens when we talk about our consumption. We tend to define them in those especially those three lanes of you know. Cnn considers itself middle of the road. I know not everybody does. Msnbc is definitely Speaking to a liberal audience and fox news was created to serve a conservative audience and so They i think the problem is in.

South Florida's First News with Jimmy Cefalo
What to know before the stock market opens Wednesday
"One big question, I think that a lot of people's minds with the news overnight out of Georgia and it looking Maura and Maura, like Democrats will control the Senate along with the House. And then, of course, the White House after President elect Joe Biden is sworn in on the 20th. What does that mean for the markets and for the economy? Well, we've seen some volatility in recent days, just based on uncertainty on duh. I think you know there's likely to be, you know, a few different reactions and play. But, you know, I think for someone investor's standpoint, you gotta continue to focus on the long term and long term. Statistics have shown that whether it's a divided Congress or not a divided Congress. Long run markets go up either way s O, you know, buckle the seatbelt and just kind of ignore short term volatility or whatever political posturing, you know, you know, but maybe maybe happening. That's you know, likely to Buffett markets up and down and short term, but you need to maintain a focus on the long term goals. The other thing is that just from an interest rate standpoint, um you're much of it is really hinged on the said on DNO, not on Congress so, but the Fed pledging to keep interest rates low, with the Fed continuing to buy $120 billion a month and long term bonds. We've got an environment of ultra low rates for throughout 2021. How important was it for Congress to pass that latest round of stimulus that relief package? How important was it for the economy? Huge on do you know? Unfortunately, it probably isn't even enough to kind of get us to where we need to be right now that I think the timetable of mass vaccinations by the middle of the year That's the gap. We need to bridge from an economic perspective businesses and if small businesses in particular, and a lot of households that were really hurting financially that you know for months had been kind of running down. Their their savings, exhausting unemployment benefits. It's you know, it's a welcome relief to have that extended But those unemployment benefits that have been extended till March. You know that's not gonna that's not going to get us to where we need to be So in the short term, it was a huge help T the households and small businesses that were on the brink. But, you know, I think we're kidding ourselves. If we think that that's gonna be sufficient to get us to the other side of this I'm joined by Greg McBride, senior vice president and chief financial analyst for bankrate dot com. With the Democrats likely holding power at all levers in Washington, D C moving forward, there's a likelihood that there will be Maura relief coming. Do you think that will be welcomed by the markets? Yes. Now I think you know the counter play to that is that you know, you're also likely to see some concern about growing deficits might fuel inflation down the road. So and and that can have the opposite effect on the stock market. So you know it's one of those where you no way see this where you know the market could be up Big one day and then it's like you know, the referee comes out from under the hood and says after further review. The call has been reversed. And then the next day the market goes down. Right. So you know, markets that embrace one thing One day, you know, could look at it is, you know glass being half empty the next day, or vice versa. That's kind of speaks to that volatility in the short term that I was talking about, But you know, long term, particularly with mass vaccinations. We get the faster pace of economic growth in the second half of the year. You know, I think that's when when things really, you know, we start to kind of grab a higher gear economically, You know, I think you know that That's that's really you know what's ultimately gonna gonna do? That's really the most important thing moving forward. I mean, obviously, the political situation in D C is gonna have an impact. But it really comes down to the vaccination distribution and how quickly we can ramp that up. Yeah, that's the hub of the wheel economically, you know, and it's you know, I mean, listen, if you you know if you did a rip in Winkle and fell asleep for a few months and then woke up, you know again, it's going to be still the vaccinations and the progress there. That's really going to be, you know, dictating not only the health of the economy, but you know, ultimately what we see as a result. With the financial health of households, businesses corporate earnings in the markets themselves.
