Scientists claim to have had a 20-minute conversation with a whale
Scientists claim to have had a 20-minute conversation with a whale named Twain, using pre-recorded contact calls and observing the whale's response. They believe this breakthrough could pave the way for conversations with aliens in the future. The research was conducted by the SETI Institute and UC Davis, who are studying whale communication in hopes of developing filters for searching for alien life. The ability to communicate with other species could have significant implications for our understanding of language and intelligence.
Texas to authorize state and local police to arrest migrants
Governor Greg Abbott is expected to sign a law that allows state and local police in Texas to arrest migrants believed to be in the state illegally. This comes as there has been a surge in border crossings, and federal resources are strained. The law aims to address this issue by giving state judges the power to order migrants to return to Mexico. It is seen as a step towards taking back control of the border and addressing the ongoing immigration crisis.
Vigilante groups taking a stand on the US-Mexico border
Vigilante groups have emerged along the US-Mexico border, with civilian patrols in Texas, Arizona, and other areas. These groups aim to help secure their communities in the face of a surge in border crossings. While their actions can be controversial, some see them as a response to the government's failure to address the issue adequately. This represents a growing frustration among citizens who are taking matters into their own hands to protect their communities.
In today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss the Democrat Senator who fired a staffer who filmed a gay sex escapade in the hearing room, the Wilmington driver who smashed into Biden's motorcade being charged with a DUI, and the US suspending rail operations on the southern border due to the migrant surge.
