00:01:11.820 Cumia Show. Let's go to Carl in
00:01:13.780 New Jersey. Carl, you got more war movies
00:01:15.860 for this Memorial Day that maybe didn't
00:01:17.940 make the list.
00:01:20.200 Yes, hey, great show, by the way.
00:01:22.200 Thank you.
00:01:22.660 Yeah, the one movie I was thinking about was the movie called Bat-21, Gene Hackman.
00:01:29.120 Yes.
00:01:29.540 Where would you stick that one?
00:01:31.360 Gene Hackman.
00:01:32.720 He was one of those guys that flew around looking for lost airmen.
00:01:37.600 No, no, he was the lost airman.
00:01:39.660 Oh, was he the lost one?
00:01:40.760 I was thinking of the other movie like that with the guy from Lethal Weapon
00:01:49.020 and the other guy from the other movie.
00:01:52.100 oh mel gibson you're talking about uh no that was lethal weapon but okay so he was the downed
00:01:58.420 airman in that one oh yeah yeah yeah that's another movie yeah right who was the guy that
00:02:03.980 was trying to find him i'm sorry who was the guy that was trying to find uh the downed airman
00:02:10.820 in the other plane it was dean hackman he was the guy that played the officer yeah but he can't be
00:02:17.260 the guy that's lost and the guy that's trying to find him who was the other guy oh geez there
00:02:23.680 were several people trying to find him there was a black helicopter pilot who gave up his time just
00:02:29.660 to fly again to spot where he was and i think they used the idea of a coded kind of message
00:02:36.320 back and forth in their communication involved right right of course kind of uh uh references
00:02:42.120 Yeah. Did you hear about the new technology that they supposedly have now where they can hear the airman's heart from miles away in order to get a beat on where he is and pick him up?
00:02:56.620 I think they said one of the downed airmen during one of these Iranian strikes was found that way, where they could actually detect a certain person's heartbeat from miles away.
00:03:08.920 That sounds like science fiction right there, Carl. 0.93
00:03:12.120 Yeah, definitely.
00:03:12.960 Hey, as a matter of fact, I wonder why that technique could not have been used
00:03:16.600 in trying to locate, as soon as possible after it happened,
00:03:20.100 the abduction of that woman, Nancy, that old woman.
00:03:24.040 Yeah.
00:03:24.700 Remember?
00:03:25.920 I'm assuming they probably have to get some kind of a baseline on the person's heart.
00:03:33.540 Like, there's probably specific anomalies or characteristics of an airman's heart
00:03:41.000 that they have recorded and then when he goes missing or shot down they're able to match that
00:03:46.720 i don't think you could just pick somebody out of the phone book and find them unless they've
00:03:51.360 gone through that uh procedure or something i don't know well didn't you have something like
00:03:57.780 a pacemaker or when they monitor yeah to begin with yeah she had like a pacemaker monitor but
00:04:03.060 you have to be within the range of the base unit which is usually in your house and then it uploads
00:04:08.980 it to your doctor um if you leave the the range of that base station the most they could get out
00:04:16.500 of the pacemakers if they do find her dead they could take the pacemaker out and uh download some
00:04:22.860 pertinent information but uh until they find her you know doesn't really work yeah yeah but you
00:04:30.720 you're right all kind of amazing technology that's all another story it is crazy man
00:04:35.620 technology ai and so forth yeah i appreciate your uh call that's a good pick for the uh movie
00:04:41.660 yeah yeah yeah i remember that one i could do this all show just pick movies yeah tell me about it
00:04:49.960 i know that one technology is amazing i saw a couple of these hundred year old world war ii
00:04:56.260 veterans uh online today and uh it was funny they're both in wheelchairs they get wheeled 0.96
00:05:03.440 over to each other and uh the first thing they start doing is busting each other's balls
00:05:08.660 it was so funny what do you do what are you cold they just start ragging on each other 100 years 0.96
00:05:15.220 old both of these guys one was i think 103 and uh they just pick up right where they left off as
00:05:22.040 guys guys just giving each other crap it was uh fantastic and then i was just thinking
00:05:29.280 I mean, they could never have imagined, especially during combat, that they would be alive to see 2026. 0.56
00:05:39.100 You know, it's easy.
00:05:43.820 And they can think of all the technology that they've seen over the course of their life.
00:05:48.980 you know very early on in world war ii we uh the united states didn't have great equipment
00:05:59.280 we had kind of sat around on our laurels as they say after world war one with a lot of world war
00:06:07.420 one era machinery and technology the germans really advanced uh everything every aspect of 0.78
00:06:16.500 modern war armor aircraft guns uh it uh it was a whole new world so those guys seeing what they
00:06:27.480 saw at world war ii and then just seeing everything that's going on with technology uh today um has to
00:06:35.200 be amazing i the only thing i've seen as far as technology is digital i haven't really seen
00:06:43.640 anything to the extent that these guys saw giant behemoth uh uh air aircraft whereas you know
00:06:53.400 they were there were airplanes with just a couple of people in it um back when they were alive
00:07:00.660 uh and when they were children they probably they probably remember no planes at all
00:07:08.340 and now you know they're flying around uh there's giant aircraft there's rockets
00:07:13.540 it's got to be something got to be uh pretty amazing for those guys and it's it's kind of sad
00:07:21.600 and it's cool that they're around but it's sad to know that they are the last of a lot a lot of
00:07:29.980 people and they've gone what 80 over 80 years having to deal with things they saw and and did
00:07:40.420 and uh you know you got to give them respect and a memorial day is primarily for the dead
00:07:47.180 the war dead but uh those guys you definitely got to tip your tip your caps to those
00:07:53.020 hundred-year-old World War II soldiers.
00:07:57.000 All right, we'll be right back.
00:07:59.540 I hope you're having a great Memorial Day weekend.
00:08:03.460 Stick around. Plenty more to come.
