CNN got two other numbered that the guy who's now second second in command. We've he's he would he be the -- know the captain has been captured by the pirates. Is this is -- diskette first mate Quinton there receipt what's his what is titled I don't know anyway the big big guy that's behind shoot she Murphy who's who's from -- he's the captain now. But these now that the guys from Winchester has been -- inching our tribute to captain amnesty no we as the he has the -- I'm saying it was just like when that where does what was whoa how we describe Quinn's title. Is he the first may third -- the second in command how does that work I don't know but they CNN called up Quinn. Then talked they have been so what's going on there. And apparently what happened was they had they have one of the pirates. In they tied him up but they kept them for twelve hours. And so the other the couple the other pirates the world left -- said Sidwell. If you whether if you let our pirate goal will let -- who will like captain Phillips doll. So the merchant of merchant Marines gave I did gave. Gave up the pirate -- the -- Quinn said but don't we give on the pirate they didn't give us back captain Phillips. Then I thought everybody knew you can't trust the -- it. You know it's -- pirates word is no good at it so now that pirates from the piracy hostage is gone and that in the captain is still there. One end to end the Bainbridge the USS Bainbridge which is a destroyer is is is steaming towards the scene there and they said this about a half hour ago they were three hours away some other about 21 half hours away 18774694322. -- I I woke up this morning I heard this story and they said the I thought the US navy was our response and that's why we spend billions of toddlers on the US navy. And that's why we had ships if not a whole squadrons are fleets are around the world. Is so that we can deal with situations like what what response did they need to formulate a pirate. Pirates. Millions for a defense now it's billions for defense but not one red cent for tribute to those -- pirates. Stephen your next with how we cargo had Stephen. So glad you there's David. Chuck you're next with how we -- ahead --"

" Yeah -- I emergency when I worked in those waters are regularly. On hold on vacation how much you can be honest I dictatorship. A bit bigger and immersed Alabama. The Alabama -- stayed in the unfortunate duty of GO running. Rundown accessing the ship actually over an opt in Oman but the power to run around out there I mean there ruthless people they've been knocked me out. They have nothing to lose and out the way to get our ships is that they have fast boats they grapple up. Even used tricks like god heaven to go to the line between them but the ship passed between independent analyst dealership polls to vote Friday they grapple."

" All right all wow I didn't boy that's pretty smart for pirates in Somalia admit."

" Well guilt but they have nothing into the lawless land sold -- and how to say it out. If you you have nothing so."

" There's and I -- we don't pirate ships have you seen the pirate ships."

" I have I've seen shifted to abandon its video we I've been on ships even in the -- login that approach. Then worship the idea behind it."

" They have doesn't smell good armor they do they just take the -- down new blood --"

" You can't even get me out of their data's got this fishing boats sit down like they get a weapon and armed. I'm ship not the typical."

" Merchant -- no -- I cannot fly in the skull and bones as what you tell."

" I'll bet they disguised as he ideology in that area as like -- doubt Lucio -- boom -- and they have -- if there well equipped you know I've I was working in the Middle East. You know you see him the -- night you know we have -- want to show he was getting my vision goggles help. This see this these guys and you know he's so watching all afternoon you know east African and then they -- same stuff. Well except now they've got money. I that is in the newspapers over there. And Dubai. We're talking yell -- you about how all along the coast of Somalia C. -- poverty you know it's it's just just Jackson and Tintin -- places it is -- bugle costs going up and that's because the pirates said. Beyond this case to be a virus."

" Sounds like good job for the droves doesn't it --"

" It does but it means the only. Our government's seven -- respond because it's so very few so few US merchant Seaman I mean it that we were small merchant marine that's what we used to be. And doubt that -- you know. It's just looked at all between -- ownership and it's another thing you know guns typically your ship -- have -- to gun laden that the Japanese have. And most companies -- policy now is not to have guns. Premiership I was gone we have been they have got to 45 and 38 a shotgun and the amendment fighting at least 56 here that I know off you go and."

" Do you think how do you think they took over the mean these these these guys got on the news grappling hooks to get on the must have weapons -- only took ownership out of these guys over. Overcome --"

" How much they are amazed that that they got on the date that date they've enlisted to defined publicly if you have gone wrong. And yeah they -- to try to -- me and you know I wonder if that is you know we've got fire -- raped and and things to trouble deciding that. You know -- blaster fire -- down as somebody. Does -- only to make -- seeking to climb puppets made -- adult I mean you give our best defense this is speed. And being I don't water the rest Alabama. Doesn't it and very in the real -- not a real slow ownership but after we also have to get global water -- and so -- oil -- this is so that's."

" How much they -- for what's the ransom like the oh wait that's Saudi ship the."

" A million dollars. And and bishop that bellicose talk about that had a tank got dealt a Russian ship that -- kidnapped and Ellis I'm not sure that the feeling having just just tied up alongside him in the US when they want to -- wouldn't. Where they've paid a random end. People you know they've they've stayed around and the US navy was sort of watching one thing is there's nobody State Department they're not allowed to engage. Because they don't want -- you have the pirates retaliate against. Although the ability -- still -- that they have held hostage could have. Just don't want there."

" there are additional -- hostages that they've."

" I did just different countries but again Americans don't realize just as -- big country and we don't realize that. All the good they give you by a store come come to -- via ship. -- most Americans just think stop and actually magically appears in the wall much else they don't realize it Astaro up you know gets."

" We don't make sure that's a big story to -- of first time -- happened since the the Barbary pirates."

" Well first I recently I mean there was incidents like off off Vietnam creating a gulf of Tonkin incident wave back at me. There's been other times -- but yeah most -- US."

" Right but you golf yet one -- mean like you you know what was the play blow was grabbed by by the north Koreans tried to get -- way that we don't."

" Military and the spy ship but -- also look -- our commercial could get shipped off a Vietnam. And the seventy's it got hit out of my west. Yeah and -- whether nothing that would actually pirates but it was taken by government but that the piracy I mean it's been going straight talker of the hotspots I mean -- and south and Central America we get tired but then it would have been the break into the container to steal -- they you know they'd they'd -- it was inside jobs. The -- can't do anything else you want. Jimmy stated he would probably do crazy things what they are still issues so they've split the -- issues up you know what's so one can I don't know tendency to get you know make it not."

" normally -- during all hijackers. Yeah. But don't count them yeah but they said."

" That there really they really are ruthless send they have nothing to lose. If they -- and out in a lawless land and that's what did you know they don't have and that the the directive has become the fact I mean it. That they don't they -- in this deal but my leadership means. Just don't carry a lot of catch -- maybe you know maybe 4050000 dollars if that which you know they don't want that they want help. They want big money."

" You right exactly faced with a culture thanks for fill -- senate. Captain Jim staples is next go ahead -- that."

" Yeah they always come following all of us there -- I also worked for the same company. And I -- in the same area my dogs since January."

" So you'll hear the you're classmate -- mass maritime. That's correct Pablo about Richard Phillips who's the -- he's the captain -- being held hostage right now or noisier as far as we know we still being held hostage."

" That's correct that she's a class they live from 1979. We will work the same company. And now I've been trading at various and so the Persian gulf war. And this is an ongoing problems since way -- not just do something recent that everybody better -- last year or so that when going August 2030 years it's just getting more and more violent within now it is time to go wrong. But you know most of the guys delicious people want to know why would not did everything it -- does two things to come down to lawyers -- it comes down to the insurance. And not they still have put the guns are because reliability issues."

" The -- as someone someone takes a gun and goes crazy and shoot up. The rest of the crew right is that what the problem what they hear what -- out of."

" with the -- the following is that it didn't have enough force some what you need to have training concentrate with the weaponry all the time. Any other thought processes it just goes to emergency and we're not we're not an ongoing army navy. And the best the best way to do this is a put on me and outside resource such as black water off."

" That's -- either so why don't -- one of I mean would you feel better the next time euros a ceiling in these waters to have some some basically so much security mercenary what do you want to call Lamotte. Covert ops that one though the ship."

" Absolutely that's that's always the safest way to go to -- very professional look this is all they do this is their livelihood. But the problem they're -- this is very costly. Any company Iran and small budget they don't then I'll make a lot of money in this this -- in the process for the company so. That's why do we really don't do it really is the liability issue that does some of these companies like black why they don't you have a goal yet to go over there and shoot because. There is no love engagement. -- Watergate and all there right now."

" Is secure in the open seas in the pirates coming after you I mean what aren't your virtual allowed to fire back if you want to do."

" Are you not because no actually they actually -- boy yeah you'll -- That's correct they didn't -- somebody -- California house. Just because they lock it up another street doesn't rewrite the Kosher for. So you know but the problem is that they actually have to physically come onboard the vessel and because all different situation. Okay we don't have the weaponry to fight then offered you know we've been trying to get the companies have put beyond onboard a couple -- cap -- we did have the weapons on board like that last caller said I had a couple 45 who has an import PH and shotguns but I was carrying strictly military cargo. Now on the commercial side of -- we don't carry the military so much so they'll put beyond gulf -- because amnesty bill as Italian military title MSC watch you have the on the board that's under contract. Would the companies."

" That's in everybody's familiar with these these these waters to me how we think these guys overcame my armed pirates."

" Well. It is did do well. Just what they do what they do it when the -- scoreboard -- generally do is we will take a cabin in the chief engineer and we'll put them. It to another separate moment I think that's what's happened -- an -- crew would put them somewhere else. How they overcame them I don't know long enough but caught a little actual moment what these Somali pirates who believe they choose beat all the time that do a lot."

" Almost alone yeah I -- brought us this is something that you know there in Minnesota they want to they want to bring the Senate make it legal but it's it's it's a draw and."

" Is correct -- bigger is -- all the world southern Taiwan. Are different companies people are still qualified and -- always like this so. -- I mean why would I fell asleep always as cardinal labs moment I don't know obligated. But they didn't do it net that was good but the problem not a we have isn't. Are these part of taken Ritchie authorship. Which it would become global problem but actually the good thing because the way I look at it this is not a group of military only -- they have got one life good to look up -- rather than old ship. They've got toward the other guys that are free right now live that one person told the times on our side that they can negotiate because try to get his."

" so what I'm here in two was these there in a lifeboat right -- back on the pirate. Don't -- chair of the Arab world."

" I've heard they've taken alive for which could be a -- probably covered lifeboats so are you can't see which coincides with what's happening outside inside is that."

" Got to meet -- mayor -- right."

" Well actually probably is because you don't carry a lot of fuel and he's like don't go make a lot of speed they probably make three yards of the most."

" Also lifeboat the light boat has a motor products. Yeah uncharted world so ignorant of the benefit both."

" But some assumptions several open lifeboats in the all the ships they've basically utilized but also lost but mostly light posts nowadays a lot more -- Very very very small lot of feel you can't go that far. So there's no way to get -- a lifelong expression his -- Oh good citizens -- great devotion be a career could be mosque we'll make it for sure that's not gonna happen so that have to be a mother ship around somewhere. So this is gonna give the Bainbridge trying to get in their find out without mother -- is and has not going to be any place without malicious to go that route that missile cruiser this so. Still that's that's going to be standoff there is going to be negotiation to get dust up and so that's good."

" She do you think these are most of these pirate does ships are both toward every call him."

" Sure there Obama's sixteen to eighteen football's says there's no fielded very small live very fast. You'll see them -- fill out 120 -- than 25 horsepower engines are built before five guys who don't. And now Billy Sullivan -- about it's it's it's the same -- driving into Wal-Mart parking lot on the Sunday you can imagine something like that's. And then that's how many of them are -- just everywhere. It in his very -- because there's usually paid a white collar -- Safin would -- can actually get any kind of a small feeling out there to defeat -- is very very hard to see. In what is -- now always being sure just coming up from mr. what he'll do it still think. It'll take a couple of little comment from the ports got a couple comments from the start its size and then you have a couple more -- from the stereo itself it doesn't matter what -- doing that you start maneuvered the ship. Everybody goes to see -- that would establish who worship at high speed you start to lose speed. So -- wanted to do was put any kind of great -- a little -- on the -- because this being stopped coming off and you start slowing down. You really can't tell him that much because you'll feel slow that your lifestyle."

" Warming the best way to deal with these pirates I mean would you take amount on the high seas or would you just Jason back into wherever they're hanging out and just oh Obama I'm."

" 300 rather I welcome video here there are already out yeah. Do the only way that they get -- stop doing this is view when they meet some resistance."

" Was like he should let me take you know on the seat on the I mean or would you. I mean there are their DNC is it like the movies you know wouldn't it in the Caribbean during the seventeen hundreds the sixteen hundreds is well like that there where there's like all pirate die on clay and all. They're also not at all the issues like guys in the vicious a couple of pirates operating with a -- joy out of a dog -- this bunch of fishermen realm."

" This isn't just a couple fires this dude this is highly organized crime. All in what these guys have -- it really the probably a mother ship and that's probably talk goodness somebody on the beach yeah there's a -- because this situation has changed quite fast. And I'm sure the Somalis did not expect this -- this. All they did not expect the resistance from the American crew and they didn't want -- probably fit to the American navy can get done that quick. -- I understand hello Ryan in the area right now she's flying overhead. All lose some support there right now yeah favorite to be done it very quickly and then maybe it's still Timor border not I don't -- That you aren't sure that they did not expect this to happen so this probably try you know talked whoever they deal with death on the beach because this fool -- once -- On the beach just coming out laden ships these guys know this going to have to say no to -- the -- names all day and highly organized."

" Yet they don't get to just in these tiny boats but I guess the tiny boats server that's an advantage isn't that we -- also really voted be easier to spot and take it out."

" Very very odd to see you especially at night at nighttime Leyland would know myself. Also you -- Stevenson got to listen up. And it's very -- ownership. I won't mention actually got a lot of noise of the generators going and everything's very obvious a small bowl coming up alongside -- only get under 125 force."

" This is a story here is this the biggest problem you faced down of those waters."

" All right no it is yes Somalia as you know last god save five or six years -- you really come -- up Milwaukee's to be really tough. But over this Singaporean -- gotten a lot more Qaeda and there's more patrols over thereby getting somewhat it's just a lawless."

" All there there there is no government I mean has to be whatever is done the pirates it's like give the Barbary coast in 1800 asked me imposed from outside."

" Well it also gets back this'll get welfare now everywhere you know here we just -- got to get more from our people we've been fighting against. On the war in Afghanistan and you know we let's get logo now we absolutely take these people tell you the Sudan says they -- prosecutor in -- says they'll kill them. Bomb showed you that he's."

" Police. Well exactly that's -- that would be up first. With shelters we'll probably be UN involved in always still have another big problem solved. Belichick. I'm glad to see that these do this crew was able to take bishop darkened and -- to ensure that you know we're resistance you can read."

" Well there are so I -- one last push -- to captain Jim staples she's a classmate of Richard Phillips -- captain that's been taken hostage. How do you think you're classmate is -- your friend design Hamlin that's."

" I would do -- good solid -- maturities door was quite well."

" Okay thanks for being -- captain thanks for calling man you were very informative I appreciate you was you your time."

" Okay I always say thank you would just say preferably two."

" Thank you thank you. Jets captain Jim staples 18774694322187746943. To do we can do more most -- than any of those people we've seen on cable TV this afternoon. 18774694322. On our car."

" Great now there's we want older film. Grandpa and we're trying to get us we have cooler -- this. They'll be here we are the horses kind of."

" All the mobsters he Morris won't have a war record helpers I think there's -- when they get 18 quarters those -- think they're both boats secure compartment third. Did not ship with her life boat."

" But there we we took one of their terrorist constant -- because his game it would. We'll be weird monitor. I couldn't clear it up -- and we kept him for four hours or remotely with their -- we return of the -- and return to -- China's offer whatever we -- Food and."

" There and I'm -- now we are hungry to get whenever you created him."

" How many times. Do you have to be told never trust the pirate. Pirates word is no god how many more -- to see before you know that."

" Oh what is booed each. -- have bloodied our necessary right there bunch of Skelly waxed now they've got captain Phillips. 18774694322. A bill Martan. Author novelist. Has sent me a an email at the end explains via boost the Barbary. Pirate war. You end up pretty good detail gives all the I -- such clueless it's Tripoli how could -- forget that from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. And it's also won't leave the US I stepped on top lines. Hi I'm sorry I see okay again I never listened to the chump like messages so I'll be surprised so sometimes this happens it's. Sorry about that too -- Tripoli Monday. My big in the North African geography. By the hill will have well that printed up soon -- well I'll read it 118774694322. Apparently a lot of play information about the Barbary wars is is. Not just in his novel which is going to be republished by Ford GM -- In not short order. Annapolis the bill Martin's novel it's all of theirs also was some months. Some exhibits in the USS constitution museum in Charlestown. 18774694322. Hockey dad says the local cops Indonesia. India China Singapore need to handle this. Beriault was playing checkers in a world of chess masters. -- I think you're right about that what would Cheney do. Cheney -- they have give would give orders to the two to the USS Bainbridge. To take what ever. Measures are necessary. To want to get captain Phillips back in one piece and into want to deal with these Skelly wags. In it terminate with extreme prejudices I believe they used to say George you're next with how we cargo ahead George."

" Yeah -- that little -- woman who called about an hour go who again typical -- sound like Slaney your obits are -- that's why they're doing that so bad this turned out badly. I concede Debian and logical look over there we created this. It's -- file where -- to create these pirates where. Did you captain did you catalog it's the same old story now right now I'd guess what UN's got there to back it -- there's no auto lawyer he's got the -- going to prosecute him that's good business that. Either way it's just can't carry guns and stuff perjure purposes and note going to prosecute that they get caught so. I mean its its disdain international law which is no international law and apps like craziness happens. I'd follow all of -- there so. It out I help."

" Just just what George Wallace back year to you know I mean they want to give the want to leave driver's licenses to illegal aliens this week --"

" Our government and -- your point earlier about parties break these guys -- pirates but. You know which Obama did directing -- censorship -- it goes well going to be other -- hero worst case scenario if for some reason. They often -- captain. And doubt the US stand doesn't do anything that's going to backfire -- are Obama about right after an issue about there is this the first time I've heard this happen out -- out. That's pretty good politics right did you have a big you know you're should go out."

" I think this the first time they've grabbed the US ship as one of the as well as well -- the merchant Seaman called and said there there really isn't much remember US merchant fleet -- anymore so this just happened to be the first time I mean isn't connected to the fact that Barack has just finished his apology -- basically you you know was. Thus it said that everything the US is done for the last 200 years is wrong I probably not but you know it's it's uninteresting coincidences at."

" Wolf I keep saying you comment -- the task but it sure Biden is saying but. You know what there's going to be a lot of people -- Obama if he would it get it do in Dallas scene where he's responded a lot of censorship. About twelve hours ago I -- awaited good block com but. You know late -- about their rhetoric especially it's only three hours to wait why don't change your right away. And then you know see what happens but again I think goes well Obama's gonna be hailed as we speak proper defence. He storage about this I hope they get the cut back alive and that they send a message to these guys it's. Maybe they'll be the last American ship that they got trying to pars."

" Exactly what. I would say no we get him will happen every 205 years but that's about as much -- that's about as often as anyone wants to occur thanks to a call George. Spoken this is a bill bill Martin again Leo local lot novelist then does he see you were he wrote about this in the Annapolis it's gonna be re publish my forge next year. Okay men and there's the -- I was using was millions for defense but not one cent for tribute to those -- one red cent for tribute. The man who uttered there was or representative good low harper Federalist of South Carolina at a banquet in 1797. And he said about the XYZ affair sort of extortion effort on the part of the French. A few years later the cutthroat Musharraf Tripoli annoyed that Americans had made deals with to listen some of the other Marbury sat trapeze. But not with him cut down the American flag and from the American Embassy in declared war -- America lest they started paying to sail through waters like all of it like all European instead. The Americans were no longer protected by the Bratz who encouraged the Barbary troublemaker for them to bother the Americans just for spite. We dispatched our new frigate Philadelphia which promptly ran aground and was taken the crew was imprisoned and now you had yourself a major hostage crisis. Jefferson said the constitutional whole squadron constitution became the first American vessel to fire on a Muslim country. First of all it took -- minaret. -- I would be big trouble today -- net. Barack would have to go on new apology tour. But the battle did not break the siege next an American squadron of Marines supported by Arab mercenaries and led by a civilian diplomat named. William -- marches across the Libyan desert to rescue the men had opposed the bush shot Jefferson said the while we weren't in the business of interfering in the internal affairs of other governments in this case she would make an exception to. For a again and I'm -- Democrats like Thomas Jefferson anymore are they belt. They see used to city east of Tripoli in a spectacular attack remember the song. -- they were preparing for big push on Tripoli one American diplomats cut a deal with the militia ally in the process betraying all the Arabs who would come to our side. Among the last time that's happened. We paid but paid a lot less than they than he had demanded. History is always more complicated and more interest and read all about it in my novel Annapolis to be republished by -- next year or go over to the USS constitution museum right near the ship. -- we have a handsome exhibit on the role of the ship in the whole episode so that's the last time we don't what pirates. 18774694322. Brian you're next with how we cargo web Brian."

" I hate or because I don't. As a -- meant fields yes. Yeah -- you know I just want to make comments about. You know from Burnett who was interest they know me know if there was ever a carnival cruise line. Are something like that -- that got hijacked you know that would be something that would be you know horrible thing."
