Skype Debuts 'Meet Now' Feature to Rival Zoom
"There are more video calls going on now more than ever. However, a significant chunk of that action has gone to Zoom, which honestly I had never heard of before a couple of months ago, and not necessarily Skype, who has been the mainstay video chatting service for many years now. Microsoft's product that has been at the center of online voice and video chat since well before smartphones were commonplace is now coming out with a new feature that's rivaling Zoom and the market share that Zoom has captured in its short time. Perhaps too easy with some security and privacy compromises, but Skype is finally ready to fight back with Meet Now. With Meet Now, hosts can create and share free meetings with just three simple clicks. That's according to the company. Even the host doesn't need to have Skype installed. It's all ran from your web browser. You can start the process from its website and then invite people either using a simple link or the share button that's available on the

A highlight from Your-Weekly-Tech-Update-EP-133
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to your weekly tech update, the show that explores the newest, coolest, and sometimes mind -boggling side of tech available on the interwebs. I am your host, Ray McNeil. Coming up on the program today, we're talking Skype. They're rolling out their new Meet Now calls, and you don't need to sign up or to install it to use it. Amazon's new Blink Mini is a small indoor camera that allows for two -way audio, motion detection, HD video, and it's only 35 bucks, and will take your mind off of the world and put a smile on your face with this week's moment of joy. That and a whole lot more coming up on today's edition of your weekly tech update, next. There are more video calls going on now more than ever. However, a significant chunk of that action has gone to Zoom, which honestly I had never heard of before a couple of months ago, and not necessarily Skype, who has been the mainstay video chatting service for many years now. Microsoft's product that has been at the center of online voice and video chat since well before smartphones were commonplace is now coming out with a new feature that's rivaling Zoom and the market share that Zoom has captured in its short time. Perhaps too easy with some security and privacy compromises, but Skype is finally ready to fight back with Meet Now. With Meet Now, hosts can create and share free meetings with just three simple clicks. That's according to the company. Even the host doesn't need to have Skype installed. It's all ran from your web browser. You can start the process from its website and then invite people either using a simple link or the share button that's available on the page. If the person you're inviting has Skype installed, then it will automatically open up in the app directly, and if not, then it will open up a new app. We've long waited for the successor to Sony's awesome noise -canceling WH -1000XM3 headphones, which earned a CNET Editor's Choice Award back in 2019. Credible photos of headphones that appeared to be the Sony WH -1000XM4 appeared on Twitter earlier last month, but it looks like they're a no -show for the time being anyway. While we're waiting, however, the company recently announced that it's bringing out two new wireless headphones. The WF -XB700 is a true wireless headphone in the company's extra bass line. It'll cost $130, while the WH -CH710N, a new noise -canceling over -ear headphone, will cost $200. Both are set to be available for pre -order in April. WF -XB700 extra bass true wireless earbuds with Sony's extra bass technology hold structure. It creates a comfortable ergonomic fit with up to get this nine hours of battery life and an optional charging case delivers an additional nine hours. You can even do a quick charge with it. Ten minutes on the quick charge provides about 60 minutes of music playback. Available in April for pre -order in black and blue, and then of course we have the WH -CH710N. They come with 30 millimeter drivers, artificial intelligence noise canceling, and it can automatically select the most effective noise canceling mode for user surroundings. It also includes dual microphones. It'll kind of help you catch more ambient sounds, up to 35 hours of audio on a single charge, and it automatically selects the most effective noise canceling mode for the user's surroundings. You can get up to 35 hours of audio on a single charge and again it has the quick charge feature that provides 60 minutes of music playback via a 10 minute charge. Bluetooth 5 .0 is included with this as well as the standard USB -C charging. This has 30 millimeter drivers, support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, one touch button access to those digital assistants by the way, and it's going to be available in April for pre -order as well, this one only coming in black for the time being anyway. Having AI agents learn how to play simple video games is an ideal way to test their effectiveness thanks to the ability to measure success via a score. Alphabet's DeepMind designed 57 particular Atari games to serve as a litmus test for its artificial intelligence and established a benchmark for the skills of an average human player. The company's latest system, Agent 57, made a huge leap over previous systems and is the first version of the AI that outperforms the human baseline. In particular, Agent 57 has proven its superhuman skills in Pitfall, Montezuma's Revenge, Solaris, and Skiing, all those games that have been major challenges for other AIs. Now according to MIT's Technology Review, Pitfall and Montezuma's Revenge require the AI to experiment more than usual in order to figure out how to get a better score. Meanwhile, Solaris and Skiing are difficult for AI because there aren't as many indications of success. The AI doesn't know if it's making its right moves for long stretches of time. DeepMind built upon its older AI agents so that Agent 57 could make better decisions regarding exploration and score exploration as well as to optimize the trade -off between short -term and long -term performance in games like Skiing. Technology Review notes that while these results are impressive, AI still has a long way to go. These systems can only figure out one game at a time right now, which it says is at odds with the skills of a human. True versatility, which comes so easily to a human infant, is still far beyond AI's reach. That said, AI is already in use across industries. The lessons learned from Agent 57 could help improve performance even if human -level skills aren't achievable for now.

"Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. We'll get you from point A to point B. But if you're looking for point C, well, buddy, you're on your own. But if you wait right here, in just about two minutes, the bust of point C will be coming right by. And now, here's your Ralph Cramden of the Airways, Eric Metaxas! Hey there, folks. Very special show today. My guest is David Friedman. He served as the U .S. Ambassador to Israel under President Donald Trump. He is a Nobel Prize nominee and National Security Medal recipient for his efforts in helping secure the historic Abraham Accords. He's also the best -selling author of a number of books. David Friedman, welcome. Eric, thank you so much. Great to be with you. I had the privilege last week of being at Bedminster National Golf Club with the President and a number of pastors, where you came on Skype or Zoom and gave a presentation on the thing we're going to talk about today. And I was so excited in hearing about it, and I thought, I get to interview you about this right now. So before we get into your background, because I want to, let's just start with the headline. There's a film coming out. Just talk briefly about that, and then we'll kind of backtrack. Sure. Well, the film is called Route 60, the Biblical Highway. And it is not just about a road, although it tracks this road, which is the biblical spine of Israel. It begins in Nazareth, ends in Beersheba. It's 146 miles long. And I would say that around 90 percent of all the Bible stories that you and I might be familiar with either happened along that road or within a few kilometers in either direction. When I heard you talk about this last week, you didn't know I was in the room, but as I heard you talk about this, I thought, I'm always amazed when I'm hearing something hugely important that I've not heard before. And so you're sharing this stuff, and I'm just kicking myself. I'm thrilled and I'm kicking myself. How is it possible that I didn't know this? Because what you shared is utterly central to history, utterly central to the history of Israel.

"And I'm Shayna Steen, thanks for being with us. Two of the four Americans kidnapped in Mexico have been found dead. The other two have been rescued. One of the two survivors severely injured, the group of friends traveled from South Carolina. So one of them, a mother of 6, could get a medical procedure in Mexico. Joining us live on Skype CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine herridge, Catherine, what are you learning about the cartel that may have been behind this attack? Well, a U.S. law enforcement source has told CBS News that investigators believe a group called the gulf cartel is one of the oldest organized crime groups in Mexico is responsible for the attack on the Americans. Based on our reporting, though it's not clear yet to investigators, whether this was an ambush, a case of mistaken identity that they were drug traffickers or somehow caught in the crossfire of these warring factions with the gulf cartel. What has the State Department confirmed for us about these Americans? Well, the State Department didn't have a lot of additional information, but they confirmed that two of the Americans had returned to the United States and they were working to repatriate the remains of the two that were killed by the cartel. It's a difficult situation to say the least, but it does seem that they've been working expeditiously to try and get the return to the United States. Yeah, I imagine. We've been reporting that one person has been arrested, at least Mexican officials say that. How does the Justice Department fit into all of this? Well, the attorney general told reporters that he's getting regular briefings from the FBI. He didn't go into what prosecutorial steps might be next door and investigative steps. But we know through our reporting here at CBS News that it would not be unusual for the U.S. to seek the extradition of a suspect for prosecution in the United States. And this is a fairly routine as these kinds of cases go. So this would certainly be a possibility in the murder and the injury of these Americans. Catherine, thanks as always, appreciate it. Sure, you're welcome. That is, Katherine Harris. She is CBS News senior investigative correspondent

Gymnast Jennifer Sey Was Once Next in Line to Be CEO of Levi's...
"March 2021, I was invited to go on the Ingram angle on Fox. And I accepted because moms like me have been trying to get a national platform and had been unable to. And you know, I felt telling my story was important. These schools had been closed for over a year and there was no sign of them opening. And we saw our kids suffering. Once I did that, employees were already complaining that that really opened. The floodgates, as you might imagine, in a very woke company. And at that point, I was bombarded with accusations of racism. I was asked questions like, are you with us or against us? Are you one of us or one of them? What does that mean? Do you have any understanding what they were intimating, what the thread is there? Are you one of us one of who? And who are you? A Democrat. Are you a Democrat? And were you? Are you? I was. I'm not now, 'cause it's a lie, they're liars. So it escalated was this official was there some kind of HR action or was this all emails and innuendo and Skype meetings? How did this work out? There were, there were emails to HR, there were emails to my boss, the CEO. And again, you're right. It was a vocal and punitive minority. I don't believe it was a lot of people. But at this point, my peers, some of them were against me as well, that first woman that called me the head of corp comm was sending dossiers of things I posted on social media to my boss every day. So they were absolutely going after me and they were tired of me. And there was a small group of folks on social media who would go after me as well. There was a little cohort of gymnasts who called the ethics hotline repeatedly to say I was going to call the Levi's hotline. Yes, to report an ethics violation.

Dennis Shares a Recent Realization
"I wanted to share with you a realization I've had this realization for so long, but it really hit home last Saturday, so Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath. And I go to synagogue each week. It's actually semi dog that I and two others founded. And it's filled with wonderful people. Non Jews tend to do some Christians who love it or watch it on Zoom, but certainly in person. As well. Anyway, about a 150 140 150 come in person about the same number of zoom. And last week, for the first time, since the lockdowns, the enforced lockdowns we violated lockdowns when we logistically possible, we don't have our own building. So we were at the mercy of others to a certain extent. So last Saturday, the city of Los Angeles was doing electrical power work on the block, which the building is located. And so we had no ability to attend synagogue. Instead, I taught zoom, and I mentioned in my talk, anyone who thinks zoom or Skype or whatever it might be. Gives you anything near the experience of in person. Is fooling themselves and and or fooling you. If you think that electronic transmission comes anywhere near in person, then it might, the only possibility is that you are electronically communicating with people whom you don't care about.

"So we're saying, hey, what we got is out of the box ready to go in that space. And when you're waiver expires, you'll be good to go. So Greg, you know, what we're hearing is the evolution of a company, the evolution of a crisis, the evolution of a company that was just at the right place during a crisis, and now we're at the other end of that. We're hearing their Craig describe basically the devolution of the waiver program and probably the re rise of regulation, but I need to understand something, you know, I don't know if anyone ever heard the word zoom before at least in the context of company before February of 2020, except for us guys in telecom, right? And all of a sudden, you know, zoom and teams became basically the dominant players. So I've got to ask with the sort of giant companies and their back by giant companies. Why marquee? In other words, why can't I just use teams or zoom or some other service? Yep, that's a good question. So I've used the tools you've talked about and then a dozen or two dozen other over the years. I've been selling into the channel for just over 20 years. Many, many different platforms. And there was a time when I was a Skype guy, right? Skype is a precursor to teens. But even when I was selling teams, I would kind of the position was what Microsoft does a great job with interoperability of the different platforms they offer. It may or may not be best if it may not be best in class in any one given solution. So with this, what we decided, you know, I made it a mission of mine to never come into the channel with another me too product. I didn't want to have something that was going to look like everything else that was out there because this is a saturated space. It's commoditized. We had to have something that was going to be different and be very focused. So Marquis does just that. It's one thing Craig kind of saw themselves short on. He said, you know, he had the background operations. He failed to mention he has a background in design as well. Beauty with marquee is it's simple interface. It's elegant. It's very, it's not intimidating. We know our audience is a very intelligent audience. However, it is not a technical audience necessarily these doctors offices and therapists offices. So we wanted to have something that they wouldn't be intimidated by they want to embrace so by doing that in a browser only it's a browser based service. You don't have to have a download to actually use the service. It's going to look and feel like them. They're not going to be using Zoom or another one that we even talked about yet at doxy doxy is one that's specifically foretell out. But what we're doing is we're making it look and feel like that office. So it's going to be familiar to the patient, right? Because if you look at the patients, the ultimate customer on this is the patient in my mind. When they create.

Mike Gallagher's Prediction Was Right
"Do you remember when I said this, if you were listening yesterday to the Mike Gallagher show, you heard me share this opinion. You mark my words by the end of the day, some prominent Democrat will do what Democrats always do after a mass shooting and they'll blame the gun rather than the evil person who pulled the trigger. So we had an office pool. I think Derek won because he was the one who said it probably will be the mayor. I'll bet you it'll be mayor Eric Adams, who's of course locked down in COVID quarantine. He's got a flag in his bedroom and he's sitting there on Skype because he's got COVID, although he seems to be functioning just great. So thankfully, mild symptoms or no symptoms, but he is in lockdown, unable to lead the city in person because of COVID. Now we can argue about that. In a moment.

"System. In my previous life, we competed against Microsoft and you know without really totally understanding everything. We always believed that the function system functionality wasn't up to par. And perhaps it wasn't 5 years ago. In the form of Skype business or link. But now as I've been very involved with multiple deployments, deployments, I do see that the Microsoft seems consistent has evolved and it's mature to a point where I think it's as far as not better and most other functions that I've been involved with. So let's just get that out of the way. It is a good response system. Now, if that's the case, why is is there such a adoption of calling plan? You can look at different reports, anywhere from 50 to 60% of enterprise users are using Microsoft Teams in one way or the other. They're using the Microsoft 360 five product and the question is, according to the same reports, the adoptions of that 10%. So if you've got that many people using it, but not particularly using the telescope feature or the PDX feature of these that leaves a huge market for companies like us to come in and get our share. So that's where we are that's anything that we develop is really around how do we make it easy for those 60% of users who are already using teams to migrate and adopt that Microsoft font system. So how can I best use the teams as a phone system? Maybe it's an issue you were talking about people that have not used the properly haven't really thought through this properly. Yeah, I think it's just a challenge for most IT managers to start using teams as their voice platform. Usually in an enterprise, you probably have an IT department and then you have a telephony department that are separate for whatever reason. And those things are merging..

"On the flip side, the productivity and the empowerment and the hours that employees are gaining. The time cutting out two to three hours of commutation, having the flexibility to take a trial to school, throw in laundry, and then work until 8, 9, 10 o'clock, whatever it is to get it done because you're raising your own self to a level of responsibility, accountability. We're trying to create a culture of accountability. How do you get a culture of accountability? Must give trust. You must inspect what you expect. So the challenge I see is more for the employer than it is the employee in the hybrid and door remote. I mean, we've been remote since March of 2020. I never, ever thought we could all be remote. And I can say I can never imagine being back in an office. So here's where it won't work. It won't work if you are absent. Because that doesn't work whether you're all together physically or not. There are things that you need to be aware of. So we have team huddles. Every morning, 15 minutes. We have team Hudson in the afternoon. We're seeing more of each other, where communicating more with each other. And when we're on a Zoom, yes, there is zoom burnout or Skype, or whatever you want to say. But we're a 100% present. We're not multitasking looking at email..

Enough of that, just because of the China virus, we gotta talk military got to talk about the minor incursion invitation that Biden gave to Russia and to Putin. But first, let's just let's just talk about the big picture. I did a kind of spontaneous monologue to open this show about the last 12 months of the Biden regime. Give us your take. Let's get your balance sheet of the year of what was that movie the year of living dangerously? This is the year of living with senility. Highest inflation rate in 40 years. That kind of sums up a good stop. Good stuff. For highest inflation rate in 40 years, you had to work hard to get here. You had to really work hard and to do that in less than a year and less than a year stunning. You managed to make us have the highest inflation rate in 40 years. And last night on newsmax, we were talking with Monica Crowley. Absolutely, and she was talking about how difficult it is to reverse that once that starts. It can take a very long time to strategically get things in place so that your economy can sustain itself. So let's go across this Joe Biden brags about increasing wages by 4%, but inflation is at 7%. So essentially, this has become a tax on the middle class and the poor. That is the taxes that he doesn't want to talk about because your cost of living has increased. So that sums up your lack of energy independence. He, which is going to go into our next topic of Russia, he has now enabled the United States to have to be dependent upon foreign oil, which we were energy
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Ruling Class Has Become So Disconnected From the 'Muscular' Class
"So there's two types of economic classes in America. And by the way, one is not necessarily better than the other, right? There's the muscular class, and then there's the zoom and Skype class, right? So I'm part of the zoom in Skype class, okay? That doesn't make me a better person. It just so happens. I was able to keep on doing my work in the midst of the lockdown without having to lift boxes or wear a mask all day long. But the people that actually run the country, which I think never got the credit they deserved quite honestly during the pandemic, are the people that worked at the Amazon fulfillment centers. The people that are police officers, the people that are our firefighters, the people that actually drove trucks and instead, you saw this growing disconnect of the people in charge, have this arrogance and this attitude almost as top down revolution like, oh, you work with your hands, you don't have a doctorate from Harvard, your DOM and your stupid, right? And so but we saw this bubbling up in a variety of different ways. And for those of us that look at the stuff really closely and are worried about these trends, we said, this is not sustainable. You can't declare war on the people that actually make your country run and act as if there won't be a backlash against that, right? It's like a steep on serving me food serfs and servants. And we'd always make jokes about it, you know when Nancy Pelosi would be out in Napa Valley and all of her donor Friends were maskless, right? And every single person serving food outdoors were wearing masks, right? And we saw that whether Obama's birthday party in Martha's Vineyard where, you know, we had to kind of watch all the videos of people that had to wear masks or masks, but they were a sophisticated vaccinated crowd. And we saw that some people call double standards or hypocrisy, it's not. It's hierarchy. It's people in charge I think they're actually better than you. So hypocrisy is like if you actually believe the rule or you say it and you do something else, these are people that actually think they're at a different level of

Is that fair to say? Yeah, absolutely. You know, as I said, the whole application and success process doesn't stop once you've got the interview. It goes right through. So you're onboarding as absolutely essential because the brand damage that can be done within the first few weeks. The first couple of months can be horrendous. And that will impact not only yourself, psychologically, but also professionally, but also the people around you. And the organization's clients as well. So it's really important to get that piece right. So yeah, there's a whole thread there, I think. And you know, people often say to me, do you write CVs? And I say, no, I don't write CVs. What I assist you to do is to develop the value proposition, which will turn into a whole lot of material, including your CV LinkedIn profile. Your interview skills, how you actually communicate to the market. I think it's really important to understand that. Yeah. Tying it all together is so key. And yeah, it's been great.

They change and you really don't know that they change undyed works incredibly. Well fantastic that's great all right. What else do we have in terms of updates. And then the last thing we have is skype. They're trying out make a skype hip and cool s. It was before the acquired. I don't know that you will be able to hide the people who is not going to be in the conference make it more friendly. Yes so late for this. No not at all not at all. So this is all shocking to me. Going back to microsoft teams though in the phones features You know you have the ability to transfer calls between people they do also have what supposedly better span call identification and You know congress continues to keep trying to And disband calls. And i know that i get rampant amounts of span calls notwithstanding all of the span detecting technology that i have on my phone and at my carrier and i i make sure that i report. Every spam call that kind of thing. I still get tons of close to renew the. They weren't my car to see if they stopped calling me and so we'll see what happens. There they are. They're also adding to microsoft teams The ability to to do the apple carplay so that you're able to Basically calls and meetings using the the vehicles built in controls or hands for using siri and then they are also adding one to one call transcription and recording so. It's very helpful for what we were talking about earlier. Where is the call transcribed or recorded. And then people who didn't need to actually attend the meeting can still have a record of it and access it later for that kind of information on on the skype side. My opinion is that when they noted that teams was taking over for skype for business. I was like that. Is it death-knell of skype. And then they started putting out more features and we saw even in windows ten. There was an update that pushed out more features and skype bringing skype to the to the to the toolbar and all kinds of other things. I thought that was a bit weird. For to have like task trae prominence in essence. Considering that i thought you know skype is basically a dying product. And now they're basically standing behind skype. They're putting in this call stage to compete with discord getting stage to be able to bring people up onto the stage in that sense..

This week This out of a double header so doubleheader so it's a mica thin so the first one is microsoft teams going to get phone features an operator connect service and the second one. It's microsoft promises. Big changes for skype. So after months back they kind of imply that sky was going to be dying and facing off on. You're going to have the access to teams for your personal use now microsoft. I thought about it a little bit better. Maybe thought about it for the first time and decide to. Let's backtrack that. Let's make skype depth personal tool and let's go and make teams stronger so on the team side. They now add phone number so you can cope with a call you can do. There's a feature that they have that. I really enjoy and that they transitions between devices on. Microsoft teams is the best in the market. If i am an assumed go. I want to change devices. Everybody knows that change devices because or they need to readmit me. I'm going to be double in the screen sane with me. microsoft teams. Allow me to change the vice. Nobody wants to know it asked me. Do you want to add this divisor. Do you want to switch the coal. and really. it's seamless so now they add this feature to the phone calls. I can start a call in my phone on when i get to my desktop. Or whatever say okay now change this call to the next up and continue to call in there and if that work as well as he works today with just chain devices. That is going to be incredible because allows you to really give the productivity. There is nothing more annoying than set. Okay sorry i'm going to change devices so let me start your conversation here until i do this process. There is no need for that. Technology is near do should be able to do that so that i'm excited about it. That is a really interesting feature. I'm i'm not quite sure how often i would use it. Except yeah i i so i have google voice and i've been using google voice for many years and it has a feature that if i receive a call only what it's on the receiving side because this is sip it will allow me to you know click star and an move the call to any other device that i want and i do use that. But that's just because i'm going from handset to the desktop or back and forth and but that's because i've received a phone call not because i started a microsoft teams meeting or i'm into microsoft teams meeting but i'm curious to see if this is something that people will use more and more as they're navigating from home to work in that kind.

I think meeting wish you star shooting move instead of from an hour and a half an hour thirty minutes on fifteen minutes. Most meetings should be done in fifteen minutes but we are in there too.

Skype Debuts 'Meet Now' Feature to Rival Zoom
"There are more video calls going on now more than ever. However, a significant chunk of that action has gone to zoom, which honestly I had never heard of before a couple of months ago. And not necessarily Skype, who has been the mainstay video chatting service for many years now. Microsoft's product that has been at the center of online voice and video chat since well before smartphones were commonplace is now coming out with a new feature that's rivaling zoom and the market share that zoom has captured in its short time. Perhaps too easy with some security and privacy compromises, but Skype is finally ready to fight back with meat now. With meat now hosts can create and share free meetings with just three simple clicks. That's according to the company. Even the host doesn't need to have Skype installed. It's all ran from your web browser. You can start the process from its website and then invite people either using a simple link or the share button that's available on the page. If the person you're inviting has Skype installed, then it will automatically open up in the app directly. And if not, then it will open up a web browser and works in chrome and edge. Zuma's already made some changes and pledged more to address its issues. We'll see if this setup helps Skype claw back any users who have already gotten used to using competitor software for their meetings.

They can continue the conversation except your where they were and even more important than that just to just step in remember. That skype is going away.

Well, it is, um Sean is based on the Amanda Knox case, which I'm sure a lot of people will remember that Amanda Knox was imprisoned in Italy for murdering her fellow exchange. A fellow exchange student and filmmaker Tom McCarthy, of course, who won the Oscar a few years ago for the wonderful movie spotlight took that as a jumping off point, but really only that this does not. This is not a retelling of the Amanda Knox story. He focuses on a father character here, played by Matt Damon, who, as you heard in the clip comes to Marseille, where she's in prison. And and, um, first just on a routine visit, but then following up on a lead to maybe get her released and I think you know McCarthy is a wonderful film maker that's been as well established in his previous work, but He does slip here a little bit only because he wants this to be a lot of different movies in one way.

"Join us here on the air and on Skype, Greg, Thank you very much. I know. It's obviously a very, very busy day for everybody who's a journalist, a news person in our nation's capital. I couldn't help but but be sort of stunned at the way a lot of TV reporters who are trying to do stand ups yesterday. Were heckled and sort of harassed and yelled at baby Gotta be some scary times. For all of you guys. You've traveled around the country with the president on Air Force one you've covered so many breaking news stories. Have you ever seen or covered anything quite like what we witnessed yesterday. No, no, Mike and hello. Yeah, I was just with the president. In fact, at the Georgia Rally in Monday on Monday in Dalton was on the plane ride down there, and that rally was typical of what we saw during his campaign. On through his presidency, For example, there was a lot of animosity aimed at the media at those rallies. And to be honest, I was in the media press pen working space. And so you know, the president would direct his ire and we can talk about at some point whether or not you know that was justified or not. But yes, I would say the short answer is members of the press have had heard and received this kind of No heckling before, But the total view of the events yesterday were just completely ugly, You know? Not not including not not referring specifically to the media coverage, but just the entire spectacle, Right? And of course, I know it's tough and you're a newsman, and I'm a talk show host. So I say this with deference and respect, But when the president has criticized the media, most of us agree, and I'm not asking you to confirm or deny this, But from in my world, the media has treated this president as As brutally as any political figure we've ever seen in our lifetime. And so there's a whole lot of distrust and you have to know, I know you know that Greg There's a great deal of distrust and disappointment in the in the mainstream media Now. Frankly, I'm very proud of S R in news and the work you do is White House correspondent. But there is definitely definitely ah lot of animosity in America that should never, of course rise toe. Harassment or heckling or our driver or rather violence. But but but I know you get it. The every poll after poll shows the distrust in the mainstream news media right now is that is that an all time high? I do get in, Mike. Absolutely. And the media is not without fault here. I do understand that. But I just I just raised that point to say that there has been kind of this is growing animosity. In terms of yesterday. What was really was really interesting is that the president, of course, held the rally not far from the White House, and you had the huge crowd there. Another's been a lot of talk about the makeup of the group who can to Washington and those who stormed the capital. Any time and I've covered a lot of large gatherings. Whether it's political or whatever you do, get fringe and extreme members of any kind of group that gathers in that size. That was that was obviously troublesome yesterday. Well, there were they have also been reports and wonder if you can can can help us with this that there were pipe bombs that I understand have been confirmed to be the real deal. They were legitimate explosive devices found outside the RNC headquarters and the DNC headquarters. Yes, I do believe Washington, D C officers of just briefed reporters here in D. C this morning and they did confirm that they did find those kinds of elements that were found there obviously still piecing a lot of information together, But there were there were obviously people in the crowd. That had, you know very, very bad motives. Bad actually, and that then and that colors the entire event. Unfortunate well, and what great clubs is with us. He's the Esther in news. White House correspondent Greg There were I mean, I've been hearing all week from people who attended the rally. Thousands and thousands of Americans who have been genuinely upset and wanted to peacefully protest the outcome of this election and the whole process. As Congressman Mike Gallagher put it last night on Fox News, You know in America this time Election day has become Election Week has become election month has become election year. People are furious about it very, very anguished about about the outcome, but I think it's fair to say there are a whole lot of people in those crowds yesterday who had no intention of committing acts of violence. I think that's absolutely a safe statement to make. And it's also true that the president said not to be weak and to stand up for what they believe was a stolen election. And he said, you're going to march on the Capitol. Obviously, you could march on the Capitol and be peaceful. But there were elements in the crowd that took it to extreme. There was nothing that the president said to suggest that there's a march on the Capitol should be violent on and you know it's interesting, which was sort of little little very rarely covered so far. 2:38 P.m.. The president was tweeting out. Please respect the police. Please be peaceful. But for trump critics for sure. And maybe others it was it wasn't enough. No. We did hear that on some of the TV broadcast coverage and others were saying it was not enough. In fact, there were some members of Congress in the Republican Party who also felt like it was a good start from the president. But it wasn't as forceful He later did is in that video message that he issued from the Rose Garden. Say that people should go home and that was a stronger that was a stronger message. But even that, But even that I heard people critics say that wasn't even enough. Nothing is going to be enough for a lot of people in our political climate, and I sort of get that one thing. I don't understand. Greg on do you've covered you've been in Washington for a long time. How in the world Is there not better security protocols in place for the Senate for the House for the U. S Capitol. My gosh, I saw a video of, you know, furniture propped up against doors. My goodness. Surely there will be a reckoning and an accountability. I know congressman, Uh, Ryan from Ohio said. There's gonna be some some. You know what's on the on the line here is there've been a lot of discussion about how the police and law enforcement were overwhelmed by this by these violent people. Well, I share your concern. A lot of people are asking those very same questions. Obviously, it should be and will be examined. You've been on Capitol Hill. I've been on Capitol Hill. There are security checkpoints. There are magnetometers. There are the U. S. Capitol police. Obviously, there was not the preparation for what ended up being yesterday We knew that there was political drama with with Mike Pence being there, presiding over the joint session of Congress. We knew that the rally supporters were going to be there for the president. But it reached a level that was not obviously adequately prepared for in terms of perhaps ringing a larger perimeter around the Capitol building or the White House. For example, that simply didn't happen yesterday. And there will be a lot of questions that still have to be answered. No question, Greg stay safe and I very much appreciate you updating us from the S R in news headquarters in in our nation's capital. Thank you, Greg 15 minutes before the hour will get your calls.
