"Me kind of sad. Computer shopper, you know? And I didn't realize they were still around. Yeah, and I'm not breathing them. I thought, wow, I was interested in this. I was like, wow, they were actually still printing. I had no idea. That was, yeah. My people to care is our age group. Totally. Oh, no question. This is purely the story that I put in there because it reminds me of being a kid and looking at that fat honkin issue of computer shopping. Hundreds of pages of storefronts with different spec machines and it was the whole thing. I worked at the ancient history years ago, two decades ago, I worked at copperfield's books in sebastopol and Petaluma. I would drive between those two stories. At the time, I was in charge of magazines. And with magazine with all magazines at the time that was the early 2000s and magazines were still kicking, so you'd always over order because they would make up. And at the end of the week, you have extras, and you have to prove to the publisher that you did not sell those. And I would sit in the back and strip those especially those computer magazines. I would sit in the back of copperfields and read the stripped magazine, cover to cover all of them. And I felt like, wait, I'm reading a computer. Why don't I just use the Internet? Anyway, a non sequitur, but I started my computer magazine reading at copperfield's very close to you. It was all your fault, dad. On the Internet. You know, if you worked in a bookstore or bookstores, I'm sure people are listening who've worked in bookstores. And it's a tryless thing, but stripping books was pretty common. You'd have way too many mass markets of some sci-fi book. You totally wanted to read. So I got a strip that cover. This reminds me of a story to this magazine, the death of the computer magazine. It reminds me of a story that I've maybe you've even told on Twitter before of like when I was in the 90s, I was in college, right? When the Internet was hitting, you know, and I was studying journalism. And I have these arguments with journalism instructors. I was like, this Internet thing, this is the future. And they're like, no, they tried this experiment down in Florida, you know, with HyperCard, and the thing is, look, people just don't want to read on screens. And I was like, it's instantaneous. And it's so much cheaper. You don't have any trucks going into delivering papers and paper carriers. And all of that. And they're like, you know, it's just not going to happen. You think of it, you just don't have the serendipity of flipping through things and being able to see. And they said, you know, you should just go into get a job in magazines. I'm like, no, I want it worse on the Internet. This is where the future this is. And they're like, just get it, take the magazine class and get a job in magazines because you have a future there. So now, to be great, to be fair, they're right. Like if I would have studied magazines, I could have had a job all the way up until 2023 or something, you know, maybe actually probably not. Maybe up until 2010 or something. Yeah, I'd say. A few years off that, for sure. I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad I didn't. I'm glad I sort of walked out and was like, yeah, they don't know what they're talking about. Teenage mind. I don't know what the heck they're talking about. They can't teach me anything. When in fact, they could 90% of what they were saying was really excellent. They just had this 10% were wrong. It just happened to be like a really important 10% at that moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No kidding. No kidding. Well, yes, computer shopper, of course, was a magazine that I have fond memories of just because of the sheer it was just gigantic. But my history with computer magazines goes back into the 80s when I had a conversation 64 and it was all the magazines that you could get then compute where you get it and it would have some sort of machine language code that you can enter in manually into your computer and you'd end up with a game on the other side or you wouldn't and then you'd have to go through line by line and troubleshoot it and everything and so I've got a fondness in my heart for the computer magazine. So when I saw this article, I was like, oh, okay. I need to take a couple of minutes to mourn the loss of the computer.

"Latent class that got him into as well as Paul brilliance that got him into contention. Number two and a half against he might make Jon Bon approx anyway. I think truth he came over. Like, did I see witness or email? Actually, that was before the days of the manifesto. She went to interfere. I was in between and won the what is now the fairly old school called whatever it was then the powers go. And then went to HTML over three. Which was a file assets from likeable flights to the three festivals so quickly. You're right. I remember being very comfortable for fairy hospitals. So did three months of the entry is just easier to get than the three miles at Sheldon. It'd be interesting to say that those would be behind I wasn't. Massively taking away the wonder of time early might consider going back over hurdles maybe because he's obviously one that he's got good form I think two of it. He won the Liverpool hurdle a couple of years ago. Ran well in the race. So you know the only run again last year. Do you think the time LOC tends to be? It tends to be best flash I think as well. So better ground might see a better late book. After many, just not really convincing all offenses. No, it doesn't work for him. I think what's happened with him in the carstar novices chase is that he's won a race to fell apart. All of his main contenders bombed out, and he managed to keep it together and go and win, but back in deeper company. No, he's not good enough. And surely it's a switch back to the smaller obstacles. In terms of next season, I am maximus would be very interesting for a grand national, maybe an Irish grand national. Braun over a shorter trip for sure. But it's a horse rated one 5 three beating a horse rated one 5 four. I'm pretty certain. That the elite team were at least thinking one 61 62 plus, probably thinking one 65 plus. And they're probably got it, that they've been beaten by a horse rated one 5 three. But the real whacker absolutely loves cheltenham and that's not something that you can take for granted. And so next season, I think he will be a goal cup player. I don't think he's good enough to win one, but he will certainly be in the conversation and the route that he goes will be fascinating. As for Jerry Kalam, we're probably not going to see him again this season. It sounded like at least on race day, like he did not want to run him again, but perhaps we'll see him punches down. Doesn't seem like that race would sue them though. If the forecast is what it should be for ponchos down, how do you envisage both of these horses doing next year? I think they will take a big step up to be honest if they're going to mix it in gold cup type races. I think the middle of the windshield suit jelly column better. Again, he seemed to get better grounds for some reason nowadays that leopard sound. So where he would fit in, I'm not sure. I think both would need to take a big step forward with the thing to be. Potentially challenging for a golf course. Yeah, I completely agree with you. Liszt stoll on the agenda for the real worker. The last time he ran there was the 2021 harvest festival when he was a 150 to one for a maiden hurdle. He ain't going to be a 150 to one this season for when he rocks a lot. And imagine maybe Charlie hall would be both or even entries many clouds will be an option for him. And as his second star tells the public company and build a more picture him into something the better choice. If he got really deep grant ahead of me, maybe Jerry Colombo would be considered as a bottomless people view on race that might see some book again in recent years the grounds be tended to be in a better process and stuff. And we'll tell that. Turner's novice Chase was soft ground on the new course. It was all about mighty Potter, except it wasn't, because the wind goes to the champion trainer. Paul Nichols, which stage dark, given a terrific ride by Harry cobden, not long till maze run an absolute blinder for Laura Morgan and micy Potter could only get third. Ruby Walsh was full of criticism for Davey Russell after the race. He wasn't exactly in love with Paul town and either very keen to get your thoughts on that. We have to talk about the champion trainer though. And I loved my colleague Lizzie Kelly's line on this in the immediate aftermath of the commentary on talks for two. The champion trainer finally the champion trainer roars into life at Shelton and his celebration in the winters and closure afterwards. He did say last year there's more to life than cheltenham. Didn't look that way with his celebration afterwards. And it was deserved. It's a tremendous training performance. It's a terrific piece of keeping the faith from Paul Nichols. He really believed in this horse, but to go from another handicap to winning a grade one was something else Paul. First time, I also looked at Louis fences, he jumped brilliantly to be west cork. Any disability that really shows Todd's a new week. And he's done well to build him back up since I think the ground being really quick and Newbie was blamed for that to feed when he's been by sebastopol. What a small race of London than he did. He did win a good fashion trials. They looked at a class of the opposition and looked like he wanted to go and back into grade one way. Obviously, it was a great one when and novice said all the season before. The cello. And he just jumped on silly, I thought, on Thursday, it's George June pumas impeccable again from the Florence as it was on trials.

"Ukraine's president of volodymyr zelensky is warning that Russia is planning a prolonged attack using Iranian made drones. The yesterday, he said his country's air force had shot down nearly 90 of them in two days. Drones have proved a key feature of this war, offering not just the potential for attack, but also intelligence gathering. Now it seems Ukrainian forces are looking at different drones that could give them a naval edge. Back in September and odd new piece of kit washed up on the shores on the outskirts of Sevastopol. In Ukraine. Arthur hall and Michelle writes about technology for The Economist. It was about 5 and a half meters long. It looked like a boat, but there was an odd difference about it. There was nowhere for a crew to stand. And so the consensus was that it was a USB. Unmanned surface vessel. These are essentially uncrewed boats, a drone that operates not in the air, but across the surface of the sea. And in this case, it had been put together by Ukraine's ingenious boffins, the folks who are what Q branch is to James Bond. And so have any more of these USV has been seen since then? They have on October 29th, just a few weeks after they initially surfaced, they were used in a brazen attack on the sebastopol naval base, which is the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea fleet and operating through the hail of gunfire. They rammed into according to the Ukrainians, at least three Russian boats causing damage. According to the Ukrainians and this is indeed backed up by video footage that was shot from aboard the drones themselves. These systems scored direct hits on the admiral macro, which is a fleet's flagship and two other vessels causing according to the Ukrainians. Again, that's a pretty significant damage to all three, though Russia does deny this. So how does this fit into the armaments that we keep learning about in the conflict in Ukraine? Judging by the images and the specs that are available, none of the components of the Ukraine naval drones would be all that far out of reach for a small military say or indeed a somewhat sophisticated non state group, the engine comes from a jet ski. It has cameras that are pretty commercially available, sort of thing that you might put on your helmet if you're a cyclist. And these systems that they're not built in a sophisticated manufacturing facility from the looks of it they can be built in a fairly basic workshop according to Ukraine. They only cost about 250 $1000 and that compared to a conventional anti ship missile is a real bargain. Ukraine's small number of anti ship missiles that the Neptune missiles are called can cost millions of dollars and they're not easy to produce. But what kind of efforts in this direction have been made before? This is surely not the first time people are trying to do what amounts to a drone by sea. So as far back as 2012, for instance, the United States was the experimenting with rigid hull inflatable boats with machine guns aboard them. Those efforts have evolved significantly in the coming years. The U.S. Navy has plans to spend billions of dollars, in fact, on a whole array of uncrewed ships. Some of which will be very large, several hundred feet long, and will carry very, very heavy armaments. China for its part has also been working on variations on this theme. Some of their programs are again to build very large ships. But they've also unveiled a small vessel. The jarry, which is kind of like a speed boat, but without any humans aboard and where the humans would ordinarily stand, it has guns, torpedoes, missiles. And then it's really proliferating with seeing turkey, Portugal, South Korea, whole range of countries, all coming up with armed boats in one form or another. And what about the defensive end of things? How to stop these things? Well, you can certainly try shooting at them, though this doesn't seem to have been all that effective in the attack on Sevastopol. And then just like any new technological threat that emerges from the shadows, it is being met with a wide range of more shall we say experimental countermeasures. The UK and the U.S. are, for example, testing high powered lasers that they hope can be used for disabling incoming naval drones. One of the measures that is a popular for stopping aerial drones is to jam their radio signals and because naval drones will largely rely on a radio link with the operator, jamming could be an option in this case as well. And then there are really out there ideas that have been proposed indicate a nets in the style of World War I systems that were used to try and stop U boats might see a return to service or in the case of the U.S. Navy. They're actually experimenting with a slime inspired by the defensive secretions of the hagfish to try and gunk up the propellers of these incoming boats, but it very much remains to be seen whether any of that is actually going to stick. We keep hearing in the Ukraine conflict things that seem to indicate the warfare of the future, the shortcomings of the warfare of the past and sort of future directions. Do you think this fits in there? It's easy to declare that a new weapons system is going to fundamentally revolutionize warfare and that is not always necessarily the case. I think here these boats are going to become a fixture in future naval warfare. Established militaries will certainly begin using them. They're going to become, I believe, common among non state groups. And in fact, in a world where drones like the Ukrainian explosive boats are common available to anyone with a few $100,000 and a metal workshop, anyone who does business on the sea is going to have to keep a very keen eye trained on the horizon. And this will all become even more complicated and even more disruptive once these boats become more autonomous. Once they're able to be used without a human in the loop controlling the system. And indeed, autonomy will allow these boats to be used in swarms, operate in evasive, and offensive ways that are exceedingly difficult to defend against. No amount of netting or hagfish slime or lasers is going to be able to stop. It truly sophisticated, swarm of naval boats, whipping towards your crystal waves. Arthur, thank you very much for your

"No, you're right. No, you're fine. You're fine. I think we could put pressure on Apple. Keep the headphone Jack. Put it back. Because here's the thing. AirPods are good enough and some of the Bluetooth stuff, even though there are those frustrations that I totally agree with. The convenience for a lot of us, we would still use like I was still use AirPods. I would still use over the ear, maybe I'd have them plug in maybe I wouldn't have been that I would probably still use wireless more often than not. That's not going to be changing just because my phone has a headphone Jack on it. If you are, in my opinion, if you're somebody who's choosing to spend $200 on a pair of AirPods, it's because you appreciate that convenience, not so much because that's the only way you can connect them into your phone. So except that it is. Or use the stupid wired headphones that come in the box. But like, you know, they'd have the lightning connector. I'm just saying, like, $200. Anybody does that? Yeah, last year became like a trend to be. It was like an aesthetic thing where there were a number of very big fashion influencers who were doing that so. Really?

I'm gonna say like everything that everyone that I wore like when I was like in late high school and in college is like he's back. Popular again. And so that's part of it. But no, but I'm just saying like, obviously they want you to use Bluetooth, but I think that even if you've had a headphone Jack, I still think that there are enough people who would still be buying Bluetooth headphones. It's not like that would stop. I had Bluetooth headphones. Wireless beats before AirPods. So but essentially go ahead. I actually have a galaxy device. And so I have a headphone Jack, but these are wireless normally. You're wearing beets right now, aren't you? And I'm wearing beets, so I love them, actually. They are, you know, they're great.

That's so cool. But in your clothing and you'd have to like, right? So it would be safe, but you'd still have to do the erase. Let's put it that way. Funny thing is my friend the other day. My friend the other day had her AirPods and we couldn't see it because she also wears a hijab. And then she certainly starts talking into her and we're like, what? All the time. Yeah, there we go.

But the question with him, he's got to prove that he can really get home. He hasn't. He didn't have to get up the hill really first time around he wouldn't be one pretty easily. In that novel she has the absorber meeting. But he was a little he was a little disappointing in the finish last time out.

And then high skill mindful of what had happened to him the previous day at the other November meeting. Steady through term locking into the second last fence and he lost a fair degree of momentum he had coming down the hill. And then he had to be written out to haul on from sebastopol. He was never really the race. But finished off reasonably strongly. There's two ways of looking at that form. You can be really impressed with the way the way he put his rivals to the sword early on the race or you can be just a little bit worried that he didn't finish an offer strongly as he might have. Bearing in mind what he did last year over hurdles, which he tended to travel very strongly interest races and then not really get home frequently trading short and getting beaten, he had wind surgery before the start of the season that I said is officially been very impressive. He looks a natural chaser. But this would be a bigger test for him. He will surely make the race again. He hasn't led. And either of those races at cheltenham, but he's taken over before halfway both times. And then really pressed on. So we interested to see how he's written here. I think it'll always look to see if something for the finish was. But he's.

You show you're probably watching your back tonight. I do. I've been around the world for the government's final. Saudi Arabia is my enemy. Make it quick. Let's not forget. When Bush went there, he kissed his ring, which made me puke. Trump's first trip was to Saudi Arabia was not forget that either. But the thing I want to know is when they were telling everybody in Arizona and Jamal gets soggy. God rest his soul. Let's not forget him. But when they were telling everybody in Arizona, Minnesota, we got a lot of money flowing in here. We've got people here that don't want to learn how to Take off or land just to fly and the agents were there. Who stopped them? How did that agent who stopped the investigations there? Well, that's a very good question. As you probably know. There are people who left the FBI, uh, who were investigated the eggs. There were very, very upset. And by the way, one of the investigators on the Florida thing they shipped that person off as far as they could. And told me keep their mouth shut. Um And then, and then I've talked to investigators for other agencies who told me that they were either taken off. The cases are told to keep their mouth shut, too. I mean, it's It's a really It's like it's like fiction, you know, and who can put it together that I don't know. It's got to be put together At some point, Russ, somebody's got to have enough. I don't know Integrity to do something real about this. Let's see. Charles Charles is calling from Sebastopol. Charles. Hi. Welcome to KGO You are on with Russ Baker. Go ahead. Hi, there. Patent really Glad you have your guest on the air, So I actually have a copy of the peanut doctrine. I've been studying for quite a long time. It's absolutely true. It sites specifically, we take a Pearl harbor like event. To get the public's okay or support for going into Iraq, etcetera. So a couple of things come to mind? No. You know of. Well, first that this year A and the FBI did not share information at all. I mean, they were actually are And the reason I bring this up is because you know, Cheney was really the brainchild of this thing. This this is decaying, baby, And then everyone else was very part of the process. But what if I'm just here out? Just what if I can? Just a couple of people on the inside knew that something was going to be coming out of Saudi? Greater? They didn't know exactly what it was. I don't think they anticipated something horrible has 9 11, but they figured, okay, some terrorists gonna show up. They're going to pull up on more. You know, cause some kind of mayhem in shopping malls, and he just enough to kind of investigate this sort of peanut doctor group be put in place. I was kind of wondering, Do you think that's something that might be on the radar? Rest. Well, I don't want to, uh, you know, uh, impute motives or predict what they might have thought. But I will say that certainly. If we're all reasonable about human nature, uh, the idea that if something bad happens, uh, there's something good could come out of it. It would not be new. And certainly I think if you talk to your friends who work at a police department, where there's never any crime that's hardly good for them or their budget. So I'll leave it at that. Yeah, it but you have to start wondering about motives of some of these. Individuals. I do want to say, though, that the am I understanding is and rescue correct me. I know that there are these connections to the Saudis. I know there are connections to the royal family. They tried to keep those connections, not direct connections. There are entities they go through, including charities, but the connections do make their way. It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon. They make their way to the royal family. I know that The hijackers themselves and Osama bin Laden network. Al Qaeda was not operating out of Saudi Arabia. They were operating out of Afghanistan in the mountains of Afghanistan. I believe, uh, that's true, right? So the connections were more remote connections, weren't they? Well, yeah, I mean, they were. They were not running it directly out of Riyadh. No, I mean, they had, uh, they had these people, uh, in in member in Hamburg. Remember that right? Yeah, That's right. I forgot the world. Yeah, yeah, and and and and that's important, But you see, the thing is, you got to go read this FBI report because they describe these guys. As one of these characters who is in control, It describes that he's dropping them off on a on a bus bench. In Culver City, and these guys don't know any English. They don't understand the bat the maps that the buses He's just dropping him off. I mean, none of this makes any sense. I mean, the hijackers themselves. Don't make any sense. These guys were basically unformed. You know, if he would believed they were they say they were, which is a whole other story. These guys, you know, really, I mean, To pull off something that masterful. I mean, it's extraordinary and and and, you know, you do have to ask questions about Is that feasible? Yeah, at the time. I mean, it seems like it was because We weren't anticipating anything like that. We were complacent, and frankly, I wish we were again. I mean, I miss those days when we didn't really worry about our security against some sort of an attack like that. Um, today, it seems like it's inconceivable and it did see, I mean, they used those box cutters. All of that was just very, very odd. It also seems as if the one of the things that really pushed Osama bin Laden that he resented one of the reasons we were. The great Satan was because Saudi Arabia had allowed us into Um, the country and that we, by our presence defiled Medina and Mecca. Um, do you think that's a hijacker? Should they ever express any indication that that was one of their motivations Because, you know, we defiled the holiest lands and Islam. So that has always been raised in a course Saudi Arabia Key key key thing providing basis for the U. S. And the U. S needs those bases badly. Uh, so you know, there's another reason that the U. S is beholden. But yes, of course. But you have to remember that these impressionable young men, many of them are poorly educated. Uh, somebody's putting ideas in their head, right? It's not like it's not like they've got a sophisticated analysis of geopolitics, you know, so that has to be considered to who's who's putting these people up to that to that. And why, And of course, the civil was Osama bin Laden. And then and then when they when they captured him. Well, they didn't capture him, right. They they killed him. Why did they capture him? You know, you may remember who and why I reported on at the time we said, what the heck were they went in there? And they killed this guy right away. And and nobody complained, Uh, you know, that guy held all the answers. Right, and they dumped his body off of the ship. I mean, that's a strange story. Don't think I do. You couldn't you couldn't even identify it. Yeah, I do. Think it's strange. I mean, I mean, it violates every rule. I know the rules. I know the explanation was because it had something to do with inciting people by seeing the body. Hey, look, I'm looking at our clock. We're totally out of time. You have to come back again soon. I'm sorry that it's been so long since we've spoken. You guys have been doing some great reporting at who? What? Why? And I look forward..

Lois, Welcome to K G. Oh, well, thank you, John. Nice start to again. I might be spitting in the wind here, but I understand that the Taliban They desperately want. Want to be recognized by the international community, so international community in my mind Has a chance to say We will recognize you. If you clean up your act, otherwise you won't be recognized. They won't get all the perks of that recognition, and I don't know if it's worth a try or not, But that's what that's the only thing I can come up with kids. No, I understand that is pressure. And there is a feeling that the, uh The Taliban want to impress the world and therefore will try to clean up their act. What bothered me tonight when I walked in to do my show Prep where all the stories explain to me why that isn't true. So the question becomes if they don't clean up their act, should there be a response from the world. And what should that response being? You're suggesting Don't recognize them. Yeah, make him a pariah lost in the desert until they do it. All right. We'll think about it and we'll see what the world says. We'll get a good indication tomorrow.

Hi, John. Thank you for taking my call. I'm going to speak to the 0.1. The Brits thought the Germans who are going to make it. Off the islands onto the mainland. They put out a model they were going to use, which they never did. Keep calm and carry on. Um we foes and I'm sure the rest of the Western world froze Afghani outset. I'm sure the Taliban would love to have those assets. There's a bargaining chip and I'm sure you know as well as I now that what saves people in situations like this is the gold that moves around the world and usually through the United Nations. But there's a financial bargaining ship. That's a big one. If and I'm saying this because I don't know. If there really are substantial assets. I don't know what the assets of the country are in terms of tangible assets. I know they have assets in terms of, uh, the natural resources and so forth. No. We froze their financial assets that were being held in the western world. You know they're going to want those back out of the banks. Yeah, but Afghanistan was not a rich country. Well know that the Western world was pouring assets to them. And where do you think those assets the bargain? And where are those assets? Now? Do you think Well, they're frozen. I don't know. I think they're in Swiss bank. I think they're not available to Afghanistan. No, but the leadership absconded with a lot of money. And I'm sure they have Swiss bank accounts and well, I don't Well, okay. I still think that's a bargaining chip. Maybe maybe, you know something is Uh, Have what closed our embassy there? Yes, we're operating out of the earth. Yeah, that was that was a tactical error because that embassy is our Country and now the gathering place to ferry people safely to the airport.

"I wouldn't like crank it up. I've tried that before and it hasn't gone very well because it's on. I can put it back to otto. The i don't think i'm really gonna know unle- until i actually hear the file so i don't know if i'm going to be able to tell despite this i i say let's just go for your what's your problem. Let's let's let's start. Let's let's start the qna right now. What's your problem. I mean i guess probably relates to growing up in a family with six kids being introvert and never finding a place to kind of be alone right. I think probably stems from that. I could be. There's a lot of religious baggage i would imagine. Sure i'm being the only male child without a twin probably problem and also the third child. Third born least wanted probably. The third child is always a little weird. I think it's like we had a unit. We had a good solid unit. Here we've already proven we can do this twice a third. You really need a third. We'll see i look at it like i give the rough draft right Yeah you're like. Okay where do everything we can to protect it. Because this is like the only woman i've done and then you have the sacking draft and it's like okay this one's got like a bunch of notes on it and you're like okay the third one. I'm turning this. Want in and then it you get home. Return an in. We've we've had our. We've taken our lumps as parents and then they just started just pumping out more babies right. Just just well that rain. It was like okay. We're not going for quality anymore. Just quantity that's what we're doing thorough a bunny at the steaks and hope one of them works out and then they had a groupon for the last two. That worked out. Interestingly enough none of us really worked out no no that's a that's a cautionary tale in it. Yeah it's very rare that you'll have six kids and they all turn out to be you know not not great right and the beauty simple as the expectations. Lower the disappointment. Somehow it gets see. I i think there is something genetic here because it could be that. It's just these two people were minted produce human being right or not as many right because like now. Their attention is so divided Maybe we just put all our eggs in one asks you know get it. I mean as a parent. You know it's like you have all these different like your expectations are so different ryan. And that's what. I realized if you lower your expectations The chance of being disappointed. Or less i used to be like. Oh my son will be you know. Maybe he can be president someday and then at the end. You're just like as long as he outlives me. I feel like i did. Okay president. I never thought president would be a great thing for a child like i. It's always a weird thing to wish on a child but guarantees they move out because they get their own they get their own residents exactly at least forty. That's what i'm i'm campaigning. For heavy right. So i think i think the mike needs to come in a little closer to the mouth like you see what i'm doing i mean i'm i'm in a saying you gotta deep throat you dead dude. I am like i'm cross eyed looking at this thing you're in you're right there you're in you can't ever move now all right so so here we go okay. Let's count it down dot live four three job one county down again without the sarcasm. This time i was pretty good the attitude please get get farther away from the mike Right steve got questions for you. I got questions for me. I'm gonna start with a question for you. Know this question is from anthony in dayton ohio Do last names. Steve season three was bare heavy. How do you feel about bears. I got mixed. i got mixed feelings on bears. I'm on record on record. In fact you were interviewed just recently in our local newspaper yet. The actually ktbs channel two news Was on the ten o'clock news. As i was is that was pulling into my shared driveway. An easement if you will. I saw this guy trump through my yard with a very large camera in a very large tripod. so you have no idea who he was. He's not back news. Well i was already to give attitude. i yeah. I stepped out of my car because he was making his way towards my house and i was going to do the can. I can help you friend. You know like the the you know when you say friend. Oh man that is that cuts. Sure already i you know. And then he says to have you heard about the bear merely let my guard down immediately all my attitude she does. I was probably bluffing. Even myself i probably was back story for the listeners here. I guess there was a bear sighting near your house. numerous there's numerous bear sightings Via the nextdoor app we've People have been showing that there. Little cameras shown bear nearby. I even talk to a person at work at the male post office annex yesterday. And she's like. Oh yeah that bear that bears been around for a long time just not in that area we just took just got lost and this apparently is news worthy in sebastopol right. 'cause we don't get bears apparently but to some people like the there you just look for this time. You don't have to look for the shows up. This is what happens when you have like these social media apps these next door apps. I mean there are bears probably been you know now that we have so many cameras cameras on everything cameras on our mailboxes. Are doorbells of bears. Don't get an anonymity anymore at all. So it's not. it's not the bears. I don't think that are different. It's us so so. How do you feel about these bears. I like bears. I and i said this on the news. And i'll and i'll reiterate Doesn't make it less true now that we're doing the same interview i i. I really liked the idea on parties. I like the idea of senior. And then there's another apartment like i don't know if i ever need to see a bear. And it's a wrestling match internally. It's tough because it's by saad been own. My wife was very clear.

"Um So, Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I draw a direct line between them, but certainly they're related. Yes. Let's bring in, uh Camelia Camelia from Sebastopol. Hey, thank you so much for this topic. And for this hour, I'm really appreciating the conversation. And I wanted to address that question that you had asked about what freedom have I willingly given up and makes me think of the Benjamin Franklin Quote of Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for the sake of security design, you know, deserve neither. That's paraphrasing, of course. But by participating in society, I've essentially willingly given up my right to privacy. Um, you know, CCTV cameras being traced and tracked online essentially our movements. Are trapped from the second We wake up to the second we go to sleep, and so, um, it's one of those freedoms that I if I was given a choice. I wouldn't give up. But by participating by choosing to participate in an online world and driving on the road, I'm agreeing to give up those freedoms and it's confusing. To me. It's one of those places where I internally want to push back and say, Hey, wait. I'm not sure I want to enter into this social contract. However Yeah, that guy murdered someone to thank goodness we have CCTV so that you can track him down. And help, you know, help them on the road to recovery or to, you know, enter the system, so it's just balancing him or her. Whatever balance of The ways in which I'm protected. And the ways in which I'm concerned by what sometimes feels like an overreach. Uh, Sebastian, you go ahead. Yeah. No, I mean, that's the eternal human dilemma right? Like how do you balance those two things? I mean, what I would say is that when you walk down the street, hundreds of people are seeing you pass and they're not intruding on your freedom by observing you. And if they if they observe you committing a crime, and they call the police. They're not intruding on your freedom because you're part of a society and you agree to abide by its norms and its laws and Likewise, the CCTV I mean, it can observe you all all it wants, And there are some pretty strict laws about how that information can be used or can't use against an individual. And, um You know, so you know, and you feel those laws are not adequate to protect your You know, sometimes people confuse the word freedom with the word rights. If if you feel those laws are not adequate to protect your rights and your privacy well, then that must be addressed. At the state Legislature in the courts in the ballot box, whatever it may be, But there is recourse right? And there's also the recourse of moving to another country that doesn't have CCTV or to live in a rural community or what have you or by yourself in the role of this like that's all But when you freely choose to participate in a group and their group makes clear what its norms are. You know, either change those norms by fair means or agree to them like that's just the human condition. This isn't a new This isn't a new situation. But do you think that the technology ization of many of these previously human tests has sort of chill tilted the balance of Of what you have to give up to participate in society, Um towards government authorities or others, Private enterprises. Well, I mean, you know, violent crime is a huge threat to our individual rights into our freedom. And one of the ways that violent crime can be combated is through extensive surveillance through CCTV. So You know, as long as those cameras are not being used in illegal ways that constrain your freedom, Uh I mean, they're used to monitor people were breaking the law, right? As long as that's all they're used for. You know, I would say that your freedom hasn't been touched. And, uh, us for social media and all that stuff like I mean, I don't I mean, I have a flip phone. I don't have a smartphone, You know? Honestly, I just don't want Corporate interests and or the government, knowing every darn thing that I buy and everything I've ever Googled and all that stuff like, you know, In some sense, the most profound freedom is to not be addicted to anything not be dependent on anything, right? And so an addiction is the the plague of modern society. I mean, People are addicted to alcohol and drugs and fast food and television and 24 hours, seven entertainment and social media and their iPhones and on and on and on, and that is a profound Assault on your freedom. And you know the one of the things you could do to make you to really to really free yourself in a lot of ways is to take your smartphone and go to the nearest pond. And cock your arm and see how many skips you can get out of it before it sinks to the bottom. I think Michael actually from San Rafael Watch to talk about this as well. Good morning. I'm so enthralled by this by this topic in the last couple minutes, especially because I'm calling on my flip phone. And, um, I really enjoyed your work over the years and younger. What a pleasure to talk with you. And thanks for bringing us up here in the last few minutes, because I see I'm a middle school teacher here in the city and and that's at public schools and I see kids just so it really is heartbreaking and troubling to see how On social media has really clamped down. I see it as their freedom. I see it as their interests. I see it as the possibility of other interests, you know, and you get things like tiktok that are insidiously. Really, Uh, I don't know They are just the algorithm to people's behavior, You know, So I'm really curious about how that is affecting our human freedoms and riding the bus. No one talks anymore because everyone's just glued to that. That pocket computer that pocket robot so called phone No one seems to talk into, you know, so thanks for bringing it up. I'm not going to be a Getting smart but wonderful topic today, Gentlemen. Thanks a lot. Thanks, Michael. So So, um, I think an important thing to keep in mind, Um Is that, um, you If you're addicted to something, you're not free. And so you have to be very careful about the practices that you That you undertake every day and that you allow into your life. Um There. I spoke to a guy who done decades in prison. And and Heat for a terrible crime, and he really reformed himself. He educated himself extraordinary man, amazing minds and he was let out early on good behavior, and I interviewed him right after he came out of prison. And I asked him, I said, I feel a little silly asking this, but I'd like to know. Do you think it's possible to be more free in prison than outside of prison? And you looked at me like I was crazy, right? He was like, Of course it is. Are you kidding? He said look at look at people out there, he said. They're all like They're all addicted to things. You know, You can't be addicted to drugs in prison. You can't You can't be addicted to your iPhone into social media and the television all that other stuff, he said. That really is what deprived people of their freedom their autonomy. He said. In prison. You got nothing but time and eventually you're going to have an honest conversation with yourself about who you really are and what you're doing there and when you when you finally get around to doing that, You're a free person, and that's a kind of freedom that many people on the outside as he called people outside of prison that many people on the outside, it's a form of freedom that many people do not attain. Well, you're getting to a kind of freedom. That sort of gets glanced on in the book. But it's sort of that the inner sense of freedom that say, you know, mystics might have or or or other people who with a with a really deep spiritual practice. You see that as something I know that you've kind of an avowed atheist produced. See that kind of inner work as as part of freedom outside of, you know, being able to maintain You know your your personal safety and the safety of your society. Mhm. Yeah, You know, I didn't It could I could have. I could have written a four section book. Um, run, fight, Think and feel right, and, uh, And I feel I would that would encompass the kind of spiritual quest.

"Here? Yeah, here today and tomorrow and what's the forecast for the temperatures in the hundreds, right? For today. One. Oh, four inland lower than 90 by the bay will keep it in the mid sixties by the coast today, Okay, Okay. That's good. That's good. That's something anyway, so everybody will head out to the beach. Your power maybe shut off, flex alert right, so they may be doing the rolling blackout thing. We have that? Well, they are. They're asking us to conserve power from 6 to 9 P.m., But like yesterday, there's no verification that there will be rolling blackouts. So it's just the threat that looms above us. Yeah, and no cities have been notified. And that would happen yesterday, and, uh, in Napa and in some areas in cinema County, Petaluma, and I think, possibly Healdsburg. We're told to expect it and then it didn't happen. So, um, And then there's the ongoing fire threat And you know, there are little fires that have been breaking out in certain areas. We always seem to have fires somewhere right now. But you know what? I was thinking him. I was just imagining. I looked up it. I don't know whatever. I was looking at one of the monitors here in the studio, and I saw an image of a grass fire being fought. And you know the people who are fighting these fires in their gear. All that stuff in this heat. Can you imagine how miserable that would be? So there's two grass fires right now are wildfires. I should say this one in Monterey County that I just reported on called the Willow Fire, which is 180 acre. And there's some evacuations underway and there's another really big fire in the Chico area as well. Right now it's a grass fire. It's a is are unbelievable threatened. Do you know anything about that one? I'm looking at one at that. At this point, I reported. I know I've got a handle on the Monterey County one, the Chico one. I'll look up. Some impose on that. I'll get that in the news next time, but I mean, it's just awful. It's just absolutely awful. So yesterday when I went home, the temperature was 98 degrees at my house. Now keep in mind. I don't get home till like, four. In the afternoon. You would think that things would start cooling down by that time and I'm on a hill. You know, kind of high up on the hill. And so I get a nice breeze usually God, it was so hot and my I called my husband at about must have been 4 30 or five. And he was in Petaluma. Um, he actually was in Sebastopol, but he was driving back. And so he was in Petaluma. And I said, is it as hot up there as it is here, and he goes. Oh, it's really comfortable here..
