Speaker 1: Sea Lane is here. Hello, so are you? You can

Speaker 1: is send us a dispatch. Go to Thenewsjunkie dot com
Speaker 1: hit record on your first dispatch today. You can also
Speaker 1: watch the show on YouTube and twitch dot tv. Slash
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. Your message is rolling right at the
Speaker 1: studio in real time. Hows everybody doing on?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Ens third? What day?
Speaker 3: Thursday?
Speaker 1: Today's thirday? Is good? I'm doing good?
Speaker 4: Her?
Speaker 1: Are you? I was better until I screwed that up.
Speaker 1: Well that's good, right, that's good news, fantastic news.
Speaker 5: It means we have secret shows tonight, which I'm super
Speaker 5: pumped about. Yeah, and it just means that the week
Speaker 5: is that much closer to being over.
Speaker 1: I'm a little scared for tonight because we're getting down
Speaker 1: into the dangers out here. And Courtney is preparing us
Speaker 1: for a future where we have to stockpile all of
Speaker 1: our THHD drinks to get some sleep. Oh so she's
Speaker 1: she's switching over from the nowadays to like the shot version.
Speaker 6: So we got it, Like, I don't know about this.
Speaker 5: So there's another thing that I saw that I wanted
Speaker 5: to tell you about. There there was a dude that
Speaker 5: I follow on Instagram and he's making them at home.
Speaker 5: His whole well, his whole thing is he makes mead,
Speaker 5: which is obviously wine that's made from what seewn.
Speaker 1: Mead is wine that's made from beer, honey, honey wine,
Speaker 1: it's made from beer.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It seemed like a thing like you would get at
Speaker 1: a Renaissance fair, Like, how's the mead? Is you swilling
Speaker 1: back on the mead? Friend? Wine that's made from beer?
Speaker 1: Is you could do that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: It's like a taco that's made from burgers. I don't
Speaker 5: even know if that's correct. But let me tell you something.
Speaker 5: I can make a taco out of burger's given enough time. Right,
Speaker 5: So then that was a completely wrong analogy. Anyway, mead
Speaker 5: is wine that's made from honey. Okay, all right? And
Speaker 5: but he does all these like experiments on what's going
Speaker 5: to ferment. He did like a mountain dew mead once.
Speaker 5: He'd like his whole thing about going viral and getting
Speaker 5: people to watch his channel as all these weird experiments
Speaker 5: that he does. And so naturally he's moved on to
Speaker 5: trying to make a THHC infused need a weed mead,
Speaker 5: a weed meat, if you will.
Speaker 1: And he got some sort of like gallon jug of syrup,
Speaker 1: like like concentrate syrup that I think if you were
Speaker 1: able to get your hands on a couple of these,
Speaker 1: stockpile that and then you could just adds what I
Speaker 1: need at a tablespoon to like soda water. Okay, you
Speaker 1: just you just ratchet it up. So you're saying, instead
Speaker 1: of trying to stockpile when they ban the THHC drinks
Speaker 1: the Seltzer's, which is stupid, and instead of moving over
Speaker 1: to try to stockpile the shots, which is also kind
Speaker 1: of stupid, the shots more stupid. But yeah, this syrup
Speaker 1: is like stockpiling Coca cola syrup to turn it into
Speaker 1: you know, yum wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think maybe that might be your your
Speaker 5: your okay, your answer, I'll write that down.
Speaker 1: I'll file that down, or I'll just keep pushing this
Speaker 1: senator to keep going with the bill to save the
Speaker 1: THHC drinks. We're gonna probably talk to him at some
Speaker 1: point in time. Right now, let's put our ears the ground,
Speaker 1: our fingers on the pulselet's see what's happening to this great, big,
Speaker 1: wide world of ours.
Speaker 6: And here we go.
Speaker 1: We go to QVC. They just made a bit of
Speaker 1: a mistake over there, so they're popping up as our
Speaker 1: opening clip this morning. Have you heard what happened on
Speaker 1: QVC her house?
Speaker 5: Honestly, whenever somebody says QVC, my first question is are
Speaker 5: they still yep?
Speaker 1: Here's what happened on QVC. Let's tune in.
Speaker 7: Love to show the texture and this wave pattern again.
Speaker 7: It looks like you went and got a blow a
Speaker 7: blowout at your salon.
Speaker 1: And keep it together, lady. Now I have to tell
Speaker 1: you something. There's there's a couple of things of note
Speaker 1: here on this QVC banger clip. All right, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be seeing this all over your social media as in
Speaker 1: a bit, but there's a couple of things to note.
Speaker 1: This woman is showing off her hair. It's a wig.
Speaker 1: I guess she's showing off the wig one one time
Speaker 1: only price ninety eight btw or four easy payments at
Speaker 1: thirty two to fifty. She's showing the wig, so she
Speaker 1: has the benefit of saying this onety bucks.
Speaker 8: Right now.
Speaker 1: She has her head turned backward to the camera because
Speaker 1: she's showing out the back of the wig, but the
Speaker 1: other lady who's next to her is facing forward. So
Speaker 1: when she drops that little mistake.
Speaker 7: I love to show the texture and this wave pattern again.
Speaker 7: It looks like you went and got a blow at
Speaker 7: your blowout at your salon.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 1: Somebody whispered, oh my god. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that was the other lady, but
Speaker 5: somebody's like I think it was the other lady. That
Speaker 5: would have been that would have been a very quick
Speaker 5: switch between your presenter voice to whispering then back to
Speaker 5: your voice. I don't even know if I can go you.
Speaker 1: Just went to your salon, Oh my god, and it's doable.
Speaker 1: But I think it was the other lady. I do
Speaker 1: that in my head. That's what happens in my head generally.
Speaker 1: But she's whispering, oh my god, your salon, and.
Speaker 9: Maybe it was her, so here's what's happening today.
Speaker 8: We're having a huge beauty sale. Everything ships to you
Speaker 8: for free. But that is.
Speaker 5: Her refusing to face the camera right now because she's
Speaker 5: staying backwards. She's a shade of red. She's already has
Speaker 5: her back to the camera. Why change that while we're
Speaker 5: while we're trying to recover from that epic mistake?
Speaker 1: Uh. Sometimes I wonder do these QBC ladies make the
Speaker 1: bloopers on purpose, because that's when they get a little
Speaker 1: bit of attention and they're like, Okay, when the deal
Speaker 1: of the day comes up, make sure you say something
Speaker 1: really weird, like you know, say, uh, blue waffle or
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, something so strange enough that
Speaker 1: it could go viral, right, I don't think so. I
Speaker 1: just think that like they have all this time where
Speaker 1: they're just like live, and I don't know that they
Speaker 1: at least drifted to right and back in the day.
Speaker 1: I don't even think they had the kind of systems
Speaker 1: at QVC where you could, you know, take a segment
Speaker 1: that you did live and then kind of like the
Speaker 1: news does this where you're you're just replaying some stuff
Speaker 1: to fill time or give the people a break. Like
Speaker 1: I think back in the day, those people didn't have
Speaker 1: a whole lot of like break time. It was just
Speaker 1: like you're on, just go, you know. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: they used to say that the test that they would
Speaker 1: do for the Sea Lane would be like they'd give
Speaker 1: you a pencil and you got to sell the pencil.
Speaker 1: You gotta talk about it for fifteen minutes. So it's
Speaker 1: like what you're saying, It's like, I could do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard pencil, I've heard you selling pencils. There you go.
Speaker 1: That's QVC making a bit of a mistake this morning,
Speaker 1: and to God bless them for her.
Speaker 5: And what was also a little bit hilarious is, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously the thing that she mentioned so something that messes
Speaker 5: up your hair a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it didn't make sense because she said, you know,
Speaker 1: BJ but what it like when you're using a blow
Speaker 1: dryer on you hair. I just you know. The runner
Speaker 1: up I had was some guy accidentally calling Fox News
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, the host Sean Hannity by the wrong name,
Speaker 1: like just starting out the interview.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I did go back to like Hannity and Combs, but
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 10: This nominee for Pennsylvania's third congressional district. Chris Rab joins us, Now, Chris,
Speaker 10: appreciate you coming.
Speaker 11: Let me just go through. My name is not Scott.
Speaker 11: My name is Sean, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: Apologies, but I don't know. I don't watch a lot
Speaker 1: of Fox News. Scott, all right, I'm doing what I
Speaker 1: can over here. He when he when he realized it,
Speaker 1: this guy too, his eyes got about a big around
Speaker 1: his saucers. His eyes just blew up his thought. I
Speaker 1: thought his reaction was just just very mediocre.
Speaker 6: He was like, oh, all right, I'm sorry, watching real quick.
Speaker 10: Ready for Pennsylvania's third congressional district. U Rab joins us, now,
Speaker 10: Chris appreciate you coming.
Speaker 11: Let me just go through. My name is not Scott,
Speaker 11: my name is Sean, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: Eyes well, well, you know that's why you say big
Speaker 1: guy or chief or pow or yeah or sir going
Speaker 1: thank you for having me, sir. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: toss around sir to anybody.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I'll call the little kid sir if I if I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a better option whatever I got.
Speaker 5: I feel like Hannity and this guy aren't very aligned politically, no,
Speaker 5: so he's he's going to already have a predetermined kind
Speaker 5: of attitude about his name is Chris Rab. I think
Speaker 5: this guy, yeah, you got his name right, Democratic nominee
Speaker 5: Chris Well. It's an easy name of it, right, And
Speaker 5: so I feel like if Chris Rab was like, all right, thanks,
Speaker 5: big guy, I think Handy would have a.
Speaker 1: Problem with it.
Speaker 5: It would be just like the Don easy ps eleven squeezy,
Speaker 5: you know, he got pissed off with that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on here to go a
Speaker 1: little deeper on this, because this guy who didn't know
Speaker 1: who Sean Hannity was and called him Scott is a
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist so DSA backed candidate, right, he's one of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialist people. And I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: they're like in a line to show up on Fox News,
Speaker 1: like all of them are so willing to show up
Speaker 1: on Fox News. And Fox News is so clearly like
Speaker 1: farming these people out. Did you see the clip where
Speaker 1: the Fox News lady is like I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: these things and you tell me if you agree with him,
Speaker 1: yes or no? And she's like abolish the police and
Speaker 1: the lady's like yes. She's like you know, abolish the
Speaker 1: fourth of July.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like.
Speaker 1: That was I've made that one up, but just down
Speaker 1: fifty biggest fireworks, last one.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, why are the why are these people going?
Speaker 1: I thought everybody had their tribes and like the left
Speaker 1: wing people went on MS now or whatever, and the
Speaker 1: right when people went on Fox News. But no, no,
Speaker 1: that now they're like, they're going on Fox and they're
Speaker 1: just like unapologetically being like, yeah, I think we don't
Speaker 1: need any cops anymore.
Speaker 5: She's like uh yes or no, abolish Thanksgiving And then
Speaker 5: in the background you just hear Hong.
Speaker 1: Going yes, yes, yes, noah. Here look, here's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Here's an example. This woman was the DSA
Speaker 1: national coachair, one of the Democratic Socialist coachairs, Megan Romer,
Speaker 1: and they invite her on Fox News and I guess
Speaker 1: you want to get your message out there or whatever,
Speaker 1: but you would imagine you would think I will be
Speaker 1: careful because the Fox newspeople they really disagree with this stuff.
Speaker 1: But the DSA people don't care, and the Fox newspeople
Speaker 1: are like, this will represent Democrats to everybody and that
Speaker 1: will be bad for the Democrats.
Speaker 6: Okay, So we're gonna.
Speaker 9: Put up on the screen a few of the things
Speaker 9: that are part of your platform, and I want to
Speaker 9: ask you just give me sort of a true false
Speaker 9: on these. Abolish the Senates true, okay, replace the presidents
Speaker 9: for the Supreme Court as we now know them, yep,
Speaker 9: abolish ice, absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone
Speaker 9: currently in the US illegally.
Speaker 6: As a long term plan.
Speaker 12: Yep.
Speaker 1: So clearly Fox is farming them, right, They're like, these
Speaker 1: people will admit to it, and they keep having them on,
Speaker 1: and then they don't even seem to know, Like that
Speaker 1: guy didn't even know who Sean Hannity was, for God's sake.
Speaker 1: It's so it's such a strange thing. And now they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll take the interview, fund the Pentagon, Defund the Pentagon absolutely.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, prisons at least in large part death death.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, again that is.
Speaker 2: Part of a long term program.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a long term plan to completely get rid
Speaker 1: of prisons. But like you don't rush to judgment. It's
Speaker 1: long term, right, we get rid of crime and criminals
Speaker 1: and we eliminate bad people, and then you don't need
Speaker 1: any prisons. And then so this kind of stuff. They
Speaker 1: keep having them on and they keep accepting it. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe they hope the clips go viral.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there, but it keeps
Speaker 1: happening over and over and over again. We'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on that situation, he says, as he does not
Speaker 1: intend to keep an eye on that situation.
Speaker 6: Well, no, we intend to keep an eye on it
Speaker 6: in the long term. Yeah, in the long term.
Speaker 1: That's some term. Plane term plan, long term plan. Everybody's rich,
Speaker 1: get rid get rid of prisons, no police officers, everybody
Speaker 1: gets ice cream. Everybody is a streamer, right, those are
Speaker 1: long term plans for everybody. That's what you're going to
Speaker 1: be doing. Meanwhile, the President of the United States, maybe
Speaker 1: or maybe not, almost got blasted out of the air
Speaker 1: by a chopper yesterday. I've got the FAA traffic on that.
Speaker 1: They said it was within that The Marine one, I
Speaker 1: think is what it's called when the president is on
Speaker 1: a helicopter. Marine one was like within a mile or less,
Speaker 1: maybe closer than that of some commercial plane. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine commercial plane just plows in to the Marine one
Speaker 1: helicopter with the president on it. I had Marine one
Speaker 1: just taken off because I'm pretty sure they clear airspace
Speaker 1: in a certain radius around anytime the presidents in the air.
Speaker 1: Like that's what I thought. Like, you know, if.
Speaker 5: You're trying to go out on vacation, and I'm sure
Speaker 5: this this happens, you know in South Florida quite a bit.
Speaker 5: You know, you're you want to go out on vacation
Speaker 5: and you want to fly out somewhere exotic. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: the president's trying to land at the at the airport
Speaker 5: that that's named after himself. Now, yeah, they're they're stopping,
Speaker 5: they're stopping everything.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, there's I'm seeing choppers crash into
Speaker 1: each other all over the place. I'm seeing FAA in
Speaker 1: those choppers. Yeah, up until now, but it got close.
Speaker 1: I've got the actual FAA audio and they said this
Speaker 1: was like a close call, almost wiped out Trump. This
Speaker 1: guy's ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving out there. But
Speaker 1: we we'll we'll see. Maybe this is an exaggerated I
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll take more of your dispatches. Those are
Speaker 1: coming in over the news. Jokie dot Com. I got
Speaker 1: believe it or not, Dad jokes, Gonna be careful about those,
Speaker 1: but we'll work them in. And also you're emails to
Speaker 1: get us kicked off. Here a lot to work in
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, so stay with us. That's coming up
Speaker 1: next on The News Junkie. You can always email tips
Speaker 1: tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: this audio of the close call between Trump's chopper, which
Speaker 1: is Marine one, his helicopter, and a passenger plane. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play the audio, the air traffic control audio for
Speaker 1: you in just a second. We'll see how dangerous this
Speaker 1: was or if it's being overblown and overhyped. But I
Speaker 1: wanted to work this in real quick to see if
Speaker 1: people thought this was some sort of good idea, because
Speaker 1: to me, God Almighty, does this seem pretty pretty stupid.
Speaker 1: This is a story out of New Mexico, and they
Speaker 1: have said I had not heard about this, but they
Speaker 1: had said that there is a shortage of lawyers in
Speaker 1: New Mexico, and they just passed a new law that
Speaker 1: makes it so you no longer have to pass the
Speaker 1: bar to be an attorney in New Mexico. So if
Speaker 1: you just work at an attorney's office for X number
Speaker 1: of hours, you now in New Mexico. You just become
Speaker 1: an attorney.
Speaker 6: So that's where Kim Kardashian has an in.
Speaker 1: Now, yes, you might have to go there, because you
Speaker 1: go and you don't have to take the bar at all.
Speaker 1: You just you pass. You just you work with another
Speaker 1: legal expert and if you do enough hours like check
Speaker 1: check check check, now you're an attorney. And I thought, like,
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't accept that for literally anything else.
Speaker 1: You know, some things. We need to make sure you
Speaker 1: have some level of expertise that pans out in the test.
Speaker 1: Why would you not have? Like are you worried about
Speaker 1: people not not speaking the language of the test?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: What even would this be for? Who on earth wants
Speaker 1: an attorney? You're like, did you pass the bar? Nah?
Speaker 1: That was way too hard. No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: I just went to New Mexico. I just went to
Speaker 1: Mexico and I worked with some guy for a little while.
Speaker 1: It's giving really big Better Call Solve vibes.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, considering that happen in New Mexico, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So they're literally they're they're turning Better Call Saul
Speaker 1: for the Breaking Bad Universe into their real life. Somebody
Speaker 1: says OJT program. Yeah, like on the job training, but
Speaker 1: you never have to pass the test.
Speaker 6: The thing about this.
Speaker 1: That's important to remember, folks before I get onto this
Speaker 1: marine one audio with Trump is that being a legal
Speaker 1: professional is very, very different than many other jobs. You
Speaker 1: have to, and I mean have to know the history.
Speaker 1: You have to know the history of cases. You have
Speaker 1: to know how to win a case, how to use
Speaker 1: other established cases to win your case, and to convince
Speaker 1: the judge. You have to know these things, which are
Speaker 1: the things that you're questioned about when you are taking
Speaker 1: the bar exam. Which is why it's not that easy.
Speaker 1: It requires a lot of memory and a lot of
Speaker 1: problem solving abilities that most people don't have. But we
Speaker 1: need really good attorneys. Why because one of the key
Speaker 1: parts of the United States of America and our system
Speaker 1: is that hopefully we all get a fair shot and
Speaker 1: hopefully if somebody accuses you of something you didn't do,
Speaker 1: you have a competent person to represent you in court.
Speaker 1: That's why we want them to pass a test before
Speaker 1: they become attorneys. But I put this on our list
Speaker 1: from oh, I have to see what our attorney motive
Speaker 1: it thinks about this, whether he thinks that's just not
Speaker 1: just off to New Mexico. He's like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you.
Speaker 5: Think about it, having this as a thing for New
Speaker 5: Mexico and telling the general public that, hey, your attorney
Speaker 5: doesn't need to have passed the bar to practice in
Speaker 5: the state, I even could attract actual bar passing attorneys
Speaker 5: to the state, like Moses could go there.
Speaker 1: Listen, I have passed the bar. Right, that is no
Speaker 1: longer the bar.
Speaker 5: Imagine, this is no longer the barrier to entry to
Speaker 5: practice law in this state. But if you want somebody
Speaker 5: who actually has done the work, you just call them.
Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy, man, but that's what they're doing over there.
Speaker 6: Let us know. Maybe you think that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe there's some like wild libertarian front
Speaker 1: that thinks, like, no, this is actually good. We're we're
Speaker 1: gatekeeping attorneys too much, were gate like, I mean, gatekeeping
Speaker 1: is bad in many ways, but in this way, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, we need people to be smart and know
Speaker 1: the law. Let us know what you think. Send a
Speaker 1: dispatch over at the newsjunkie dot com. All right, here's
Speaker 1: Fox with the close call between the President's helicopter, which
Speaker 1: is Marine one and a commercial flight, like somebody just
Speaker 1: flying along on let's say, like a Southwestern Jet Blue flight.
Speaker 1: You're going to your destination, You're going to Dulls or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then you almost crash in to the helicopter of
Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America, which would
Speaker 1: have been absolutely catastrophic for some of you, and then
Speaker 1: some of you would have like hurt your ankles celebrating
Speaker 1: and stuff. That's where we're at. But here we got
Speaker 1: let's see what happened here.
Speaker 13: Marine one took off from the White House grounds with
Speaker 13: the President on board, but air traffic controllers had not
Speaker 13: stopped traffic at nearby Reagan National Airport. You can hear
Speaker 13: the pilot talking to air traffic control.
Speaker 1: Isn't here the traffic birthday off on one?
Speaker 14: You wont seventy traffic.
Speaker 1: Military? The leg all right, pretty cut and dry there,
Speaker 1: they said, Marine one preceding is briefed, and then they
Speaker 1: said you got traffic rotating off runway one. Marine on
Speaker 1: said visual traffic, meaning he was able to actually physically
Speaker 1: see the plane that was coming off of the tarmac
Speaker 1: off the runway. And then they said, oh, we're going
Speaker 1: to do a mandatory delay, so they had to like
Speaker 1: actually delay their journey a little bit so that they
Speaker 1: didn't run into a passenger jet and cause an absolute catastrophe.
Speaker 6: But I mean in the video that they showed, they
Speaker 6: weren't super close.
Speaker 1: I think close by by our standards and close by
Speaker 1: like because think about how fast the plane's go and
Speaker 1: how flat fast marine one's going right right, then they're
Speaker 1: going pretty quickly. Their maneuverability, you know, to avoid each
Speaker 1: other is not always especially since one of them looked
Speaker 1: like it was taking off. Yeah, you can't just swerve
Speaker 1: while you're taking off. That could be catastrophe, no unless
Speaker 1: you Yeah, okay, here they are. So the plane is
Speaker 1: is It looks pretty far up in the air. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. They just said it is
Speaker 1: too close for comfort.
Speaker 5: I guess I think it's pretty far up in the air,
Speaker 5: not for aviation standards, but for the president is in
Speaker 5: one of these vehicles.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean, so if there was somebody trying
Speaker 1: to do something the farious, then here you go. Let's
Speaker 1: see what else they said.
Speaker 13: The FAA says, despite this violation, it was not a
Speaker 13: close call. Federal aviation rules require aircraft to stay separated
Speaker 13: by at least one and a half miles horizontally and
Speaker 13: five hundred feet vertically. The paths although further than one
Speaker 13: we're not converging, and the President was never in danger.
Speaker 13: Tracking data shows Marine one left the White House at
Speaker 13: two thirty three pm eastern bound for Joint Base Andrews,
Speaker 13: and about a minute later, an American Airlines flight operated
Speaker 13: by Envoy Air took off for Florida. A White House
Speaker 13: spokesperson says, quote, Marine one flights are piloted by some
Speaker 13: of the best aviators in the world, and at no
Speaker 13: point was the President in harm's way.
Speaker 1: All right, so they're saying, look, not that big of
Speaker 1: a deal. Everything was fine here. They weren't as close
Speaker 1: as people are thinking. Calm down, we'll see what you think.
Speaker 1: John on Tnjchat says, I'm a libertarian. I would never
Speaker 1: want an attorney to represent me that is not qualified.
Speaker 1: We're against the government doing a lot of things because
Speaker 1: of how incompetent they are. Love wasting our money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's an idea amongst some libertarian
Speaker 1: types where they'll be like, hey, the market will sort
Speaker 1: it out, and some of that makes sense. So let's say,
Speaker 1: if you want to say it's ridiculous that somebody who
Speaker 1: cuts hay, you know, like a hair salon, has to
Speaker 1: get a license and pay for and maintain a license,
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I could probably agree with that.
Speaker 1: I think that that dates back to times when barbers
Speaker 1: were doing far more than they do in modern times,
Speaker 1: and we don't need to really gate keep on people
Speaker 1: who do haircuts, and the marketplace will work itself out.
Speaker 1: If people suck at giving haircuts, you won't go there anymore.
Speaker 1: They'll get bad reviews and nobody will pay money. But
Speaker 1: with like pilots and with like attorneys, I don't want
Speaker 1: to sort that out.
Speaker 5: And with that, I think with the haircut thing, the
Speaker 5: thing that got me was not just that they do
Speaker 5: the licensing process and making sure you're up to code
Speaker 5: on your license and all that, but the like deep
Speaker 5: investigations of unlicensed hair cut places, unlicensed barbershops, where like
Speaker 5: our local version of the FBI, which is the MBI, used.
Speaker 1: To have these intense stings.
Speaker 6: They took a bus.
Speaker 5: You would have thought they were getting just truckloads of
Speaker 5: drugs out of these places. They were doing bus on
Speaker 5: unlicensed barber shops and shop that had unlicensed people charging
Speaker 5: the cut hair.
Speaker 1: When I see this stuff, and even and I know
Speaker 1: this would be a little more controversial, say for maybe
Speaker 1: with the libertarian folks. When I see these kind of
Speaker 1: bus and I see busts on like prostitution with like
Speaker 1: escorts and stuff, I think, why don't you do a
Speaker 1: raid of all the areas with gang activity?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 1: Why don't you go into like the worst neighborhoods in
Speaker 1: town with all the worst gang activity everywhere, wanted criminals
Speaker 1: all over the streets. Why don't you like prepare for
Speaker 1: a month and give operation kill the gangster and go
Speaker 1: in and pop off a couple of those guys. To me,
Speaker 1: that's just resources better spent. But what do I know.
Speaker 5: I mean, the bus were in bad areas of town,
Speaker 5: in bad neighborhoods, but they weren't for I don't know
Speaker 5: if there was any gang related stuff. It was a
Speaker 5: lo lot of or, at least according to them, unlicensed barbershops.
Speaker 5: Which also, you know, it gave me a cause to
Speaker 5: worry because, as you know, I have a close family
Speaker 5: member who got an illegal haircut during COVID. There was
Speaker 5: not supposed to be haircuttery.
Speaker 1: Going unbelievable, unbelievable Clandeston. Yeah, we should turn that person.
Speaker 1: Is the Have we passed the statute of limitations? Or
Speaker 1: can we arrest all the COVID haircut people? Now? I
Speaker 1: think we're fine. I don't think there's any need for that.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody? Do the DSA people run on that
Speaker 1: like we want to go back and round up the
Speaker 1: COVID haircut people? Yes, yes, yes we do. Absolutely. I
Speaker 1: never know, but we want to hear from you today
Speaker 1: on the show. You can join us. It's very easy
Speaker 1: to do. Here are two main ways. One we have
Speaker 1: something called dispatches, and you can record an audio or
Speaker 1: video dispatch and join us on the show audio and
Speaker 1: video because some people are watching over on YouTube dot com.
Speaker 1: Slash the News Junkie the other way, and maybe this
Speaker 1: is good for you. If you would like to email
Speaker 1: the show, you can't do that to tips tips at
Speaker 1: the Newsjunkie dot com. Remember, if you put anonymous on
Speaker 1: top of your email, I won't yap about your name
Speaker 1: and your job and you know all the information that
Speaker 1: you put in there, because I know you probably want
Speaker 1: to be a little more tight lipped about that. If
Speaker 1: you were involved in let's say an undercover haircutting operation. Right,
Speaker 1: you were like way below the radar on that stuff.
Speaker 1: You could still chime in, So get in with a
Speaker 1: dispatch over on the newsjunkie dot com or an email.
Speaker 1: As I said to tips at thenewsjunkie dot com today,
Speaker 1: All right, let's.
Speaker 6: See a couple of emails real quick. Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hoover emails the show and he says about that dad
Speaker 1: who was protecting his daughter and shot the gun. I
Speaker 1: know that might be confusing if you don't know what
Speaker 1: sorry this is, so let me very quickly lay this out.
Speaker 1: There was a father that found out his eleven year
Speaker 1: old daughter had been messaging with a twenty year old
Speaker 1: man on TikTok, and then when they went through their
Speaker 1: eleven year old daughter's phone, they saw a video of
Speaker 1: the eleven year old being sexually assaulted by this twenty
Speaker 1: year old man. And the father the next day got
Speaker 1: on TikTok, pretended to be his eleven year old daughter
Speaker 1: and roped this guy in so that he went to
Speaker 1: visit their house. And when this guy came in the
Speaker 1: back door, he intended to confront him. He says he
Speaker 1: thought the twenty year old was reaching for a gun
Speaker 1: and so he started blasting and shot him a couple
Speaker 1: of times, and the father has been charged. Hoover is
Speaker 1: responding to that Sean on yesterday's show, Well, you were
Speaker 1: talking to Chat about giving that pedo the death penalty.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked in Chat what if a woman did this?
Speaker 1: What would they do? Then it got a raise for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. I thought it was a good question, and
Speaker 1: wonder what you thought if it was a woman, and
Speaker 1: why loser Chat deleted the question? You got some losers
Speaker 1: in chat Chat hardest hit. I mean, I'm going to
Speaker 1: stand up for Chat. I like these people who watch
Speaker 1: the show. I'm going to stand up for them. I
Speaker 1: think there's some good solid a Maria all right, I
Speaker 1: love them. I appreciate them. You apparently do not. But
Speaker 1: what if it was a woman? I mean I tried
Speaker 1: not to be hypocritical about things. If there was do
Speaker 1: you mean a woman with an eleven year old boy?
Speaker 1: Or do you mean what if it was a woman
Speaker 1: trying to trap somebody?
Speaker 5: I think it was I think a woman with an
Speaker 5: eleven year old boy.
Speaker 1: So if it was a twenty year old woman with
Speaker 1: an eleven year old I would feel exactly the same way.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely predatory abuse. We're not even talking about a
Speaker 1: split diff Like, Okay, she's twenty and he's seventeen. She's
Speaker 1: twenty and he's sixteen. Like we're talking about an eleven
Speaker 1: year old. That's a child, all right, that's literally pre pubescent.
Speaker 1: That's literally what the word pedo is for. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I feel exactly the same about that. If
Speaker 1: somebody was to some woman comes over, who is being
Speaker 1: a predator like that on a child? I don't see
Speaker 1: why you should treat that any differently. It's every bit
Speaker 1: is disgusting, even though some people because of the perhaps
Speaker 1: the lack of the idea that the perpetrator is trading
Speaker 1: the other person, you know what I mean, it makes
Speaker 1: it seem less and you get high five to death
Speaker 1: jokes all over the place. If it's an eleven year old,
Speaker 1: I'm constant and I'm maintaining the same exact anger over
Speaker 1: those two situations. But thank you. Then why did you
Speaker 1: delete the chat thing? I don't like chat, all right,
Speaker 1: so I deleted them on Did.
Speaker 6: I cheer them? Boo boo chat?
Speaker 1: You'll never know which one's the real me. You'll never
Speaker 1: know which one is the real me. Somebody says, how
Speaker 1: do I use TTS on the app? That's text to speech.
Speaker 1: We make it so easy for you. You can record
Speaker 1: your voice, or you can type out a message and
Speaker 1: send it in somebody else's voice. Even Minor Sea leans
Speaker 1: on the TTS side of things. Hello, I just download
Speaker 1: the news Junkie app today. I wanted to try out
Speaker 1: the new text to speech option for dispatches. However, I'm
Speaker 1: not finding that I see audio, video, photo, or file.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal, he says, thank you so much love
Speaker 1: the show. Wiggle wiggle pop pop or I'm sorry he dor,
Speaker 1: I meant she dor, thank you very much for the email.
Speaker 1: I updated the android app. The android now has if
Speaker 1: you're a subscriber, this is a subscriber only feature. The
Speaker 1: android app has TTS as an option. When you click
Speaker 1: in dispatches on the Android app, you can send him.
Speaker 1: Before was only available on the website at the Newsjunki
Speaker 1: dot com iOS or iPhone users, the TTS dispatches are
Speaker 1: coming to you. I gotta wait for the approval of
Speaker 1: the app, so that's coming in just a bit. And finally,
Speaker 1: Derek says, Hey, their lads love the show. I listen
Speaker 1: every day I can. I listen on iHeart. A day later,
Speaker 1: we'll thank you, Derek. I just want to let you
Speaker 1: know that your show is skipping bad recently. It seems
Speaker 1: completely random, Sean or see them will be talking and
Speaker 1: then it will skip to another sentence randomly or completely
Speaker 1: op topic. Figured do you want to know keep up
Speaker 1: the work, ah, says Derek.
Speaker 2: Derek.
Speaker 1: My response is AH too. I don't know why that
Speaker 1: is happening. I've complained so much. I've complained so much.
Speaker 1: Nobody else at iHeart is complaining. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: It's insane that this is happening. I've complained to the company,
Speaker 1: I've complained to the provider that hosts the podcast. They
Speaker 1: tell me, oh, we can work this out, Sean, no
Speaker 1: big deal. All we need to know is what kind
Speaker 1: of shoes, what size shoes the user was wearing at
Speaker 1: the time of this happening. Did they have a hat
Speaker 1: on or not? Were they a man or a woman?
Speaker 1: Did they or what age were they? What Wi Fi
Speaker 1: were they on? What was the name of the exact
Speaker 1: Wi Fi network and their device ID? As if I
Speaker 1: could chell like hey when somebody says, hey, my podcast
Speaker 1: was skipping. I'm like, just please give me your device ID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, I got to do a little
Speaker 1: trouble shooting with the folks. Give me your device ID,
Speaker 1: people give me their IP address. Sure, sure, sure, everybody's
Speaker 1: going to know how to do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: If you're having that problem, the only thing I could
Speaker 1: tell you is please either try to stomach through it,
Speaker 1: or if it becomes too much, go to the YouTube
Speaker 1: version of the show.
Speaker 6: It will not skip for you.
Speaker 1: You will find a completely workable version of the show
Speaker 1: there and that should be a lot of you. So
Speaker 1: that's always available at YouTube dot com. Slash the News
Speaker 1: Junkie quick Break. I'm going over a little bit, but
Speaker 1: we'll come back and we'll talk about people are freaking
Speaker 1: out about grand theft, Auto Baby, Oh my, what's the
Speaker 1: big surprise in the new release that just rolled out?
Speaker 1: Wait till you hear this. It's coming up next on
Speaker 1: the News Junkie. We got an update on a story
Speaker 1: that we talked about recently, and it just keeps getting crazier,
Speaker 1: just keeps getting weirder. We talked yesterday. I called it
Speaker 1: the scariest video in the world about this fifteen year
Speaker 1: old kid who's been arrested. Spad of arrests like this,
Speaker 1: By the way, a bunch of them. Spade of arrest
Speaker 1: like that means like a bunch of them to get
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of arrests across the country for the
Speaker 1: last several years of like fifteen year old murderers, thirteen
Speaker 1: year old, twelve year old, Like, you're murdering people as
Speaker 1: a kid, and that's so crazy to me. But now
Speaker 1: this kid, well we know more about what happened. This
Speaker 1: was the original clip that started the discussion. We talked
Speaker 1: about it on the show. And here was this young
Speaker 1: fifteen year old captured on somebody's doorbell camera wearing a
Speaker 1: clown costume and then he had like a you know,
Speaker 1: like a face covering or whatever, and he masked almost Bucklovarskue, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like just you've see his eyeballs and he's wearing a
Speaker 1: clown suit and he comes up to somebody's front door.
Speaker 14: This is just a couple of days ago. I'm looking
Speaker 14: for you, is what it sounds like.
Speaker 6: He said there.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that he didn't find these folks, because
Speaker 1: we told you yesterday had been charged with a murder
Speaker 1: a homicide, and now a couple more details are eeking through.
Speaker 1: Here here's what we know. Prosecutors are seeking adult charges.
Speaker 1: They're trying to charge him as an adult. Maybe even
Speaker 1: go for the death penalty or something for a fifteen
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for a.
Speaker 1: Fifteen year Odbxecutors are looking to charge the team as
Speaker 1: an adult. Hang on with sack this teenager. They wanted
Speaker 1: to auto launch that on me and then also disable
Speaker 1: my ad blockers. Unbelievable, great, great modern day web design
Speaker 1: in effect. Once again, I don't think we need that
Speaker 1: news report. I'll just give you this. Prosecutors have moved
Speaker 1: to charge of fifteen year old as an adult after
Speaker 1: he was accused of stabbing and killing a man while
Speaker 1: dressed as a clown. Now we know more about what
Speaker 1: happened on Wednesday. Prosecutors filed a petition for adjudication of wardship,
Speaker 1: which transfers the fifteen year old clowns charges to adult court,
Speaker 1: where prosecutors intend to charge him with first degree murdering
Speaker 1: connection with the Tuesday evening stabbing. According to Illinois State Police,
Speaker 1: here's what happened at about ten pm on Monday, And
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what time it was on that
Speaker 1: doorbell camera. In a second, let's remember that ten pm
Speaker 1: there was a report of a body in the road nearby.
Speaker 1: They identified the victim as a seventy eight year old
Speaker 1: man named John Wesley all Allan senior. The teenager was
Speaker 1: going door to door in the area, peering into windows
Speaker 1: and carrying a weapon. He was twirling a knife. He
Speaker 1: had a pretty big knife. The light gleamed off it.
Speaker 1: One of the neighbors said, less than an hour before
Speaker 1: the homicide, that's what it was. I don't even have
Speaker 1: to look. Less than an hour before he ended up
Speaker 1: killing this person with a knife. He was going door
Speaker 1: to door and looking into the camera and talking, and
Speaker 1: then he ended up finding some old guy nearby and
Speaker 1: stabbed him while wearing his clown outfit. As a fifteen
Speaker 1: year old, you just gotta shake your head. You're like,
Speaker 1: what goes wrong here? How do we end up in
Speaker 1: this territory? How did a fifteen year old end up
Speaker 1: end up doing this? Is it the parents failing? Is
Speaker 1: it just born as an evil individual?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: Like? I don't even know. I don't even know what's
Speaker 1: going on. Sometimes it's like kids are just living life
Speaker 1: grand Theft Auto style. I'm not blaming the video game.
Speaker 1: I might when it comes out. I'm I may eventually
Speaker 1: blame it when it comes out. Well, no, Manson now too,
Speaker 1: I might. Yeah, yeah, Marilyn Manson in the video games.
Speaker 1: And because I know that people have been waiting how
Speaker 1: long for the new Grand Theft Auto sixteen years or so,
Speaker 1: I never seen anything like this before, seiling now that
Speaker 1: we're on the topic here very quickly. Not that that
Speaker 1: was intentional or anything. The Grand Theft Auto Company has
Speaker 1: announced that the trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto game,
Speaker 1: which has the first real gameplay, will first launch on Netflix.
Speaker 1: All right, so a Netflix exclusive trailer for Netflix to
Speaker 1: buy a video game, and then I think they said,
Speaker 1: like a little while later, it will be. It goes
Speaker 1: on Netflix on August twenty seventh to three pm, and
Speaker 1: then like later it goes on YouTube or something nine
Speaker 1: to nine pm on YouTube. Oh wait, they get a
Speaker 1: couple hours. Yeah, that's how big this is. Like they
Speaker 1: got a Netflix exclusive for six hours.
Speaker 5: Are they gonna spend that six hours nuking every single
Speaker 5: person who tries to post the trailer on their YouTube channel?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, it would have to make this worth it.
Speaker 5: Grand Theft Auto five officially launched on September seventeenth, twenty thirteen,
Speaker 5: so it'll be thirteen years since we've seen a Grand
Speaker 5: Theft Auto by the time this thing is released, by
Speaker 5: the time, almost by the time the trailer is released.
Speaker 6: What's this?
Speaker 1: Then they released it? Is this a trailer for the
Speaker 1: trailer for the trailer? Oh yeah, right, the funky baseline.
Speaker 1: These are just still still images Grand Theft Auto six
Speaker 1: an extended look. This is a this is arailer for
Speaker 1: the trailer. Trailer for the trailer Sean.
Speaker 6: Watson, is it they are?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Netflix, August twenty seven, three pm. And then after that
Speaker 1: goes on YouTube like six hours later, and then all
Speaker 1: of the kids are going to be causing chaos everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be absolute pandemonium. So buckle up, friends and
Speaker 1: brace yourself. God only knows what's going to happen when
Speaker 1: this all goes down. It'll probably be most people will
Speaker 1: probably just have fun playing video games. I'm not blaming
Speaker 1: the video games for the danger of people doing this.
Speaker 1: It's probably just kids who are you anti social lunatics
Speaker 1: and parents who probably aren't doing a good job of
Speaker 1: coaxing them out of it. Those are the tough times
Speaker 1: we live in, though. Absolutely. Here is Diana, who is
Speaker 1: emailing the show. Diana says, hello, I watched the show
Speaker 1: live on YouTube at work, and then on the way home,
Speaker 1: I listen to the replay on the station nearest Meat,
Speaker 1: which is Real Radio ninety two to one on Fridays.
Speaker 1: This week in Florida gets butchered. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's being condensed for time or what, but for each story,
Speaker 1: they just played pieces of it. He starts a sentence,
Speaker 1: then it skips to the last few words of that story.
Speaker 1: What is going on with this sabotage? That can't be real.
Speaker 1: They're not doing that down there, he said. Not only
Speaker 1: could I not follow it, but it pisses me off
Speaker 1: or she says. This week, Tuesday's show was replaying the Tuesday,
Speaker 1: July twenty eighth show. Wednesday's show is replaying the July
Speaker 1: twenty ninth show. I was mad because I missed the
Speaker 1: entire show live at work, so I changed the station.
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes later it was the live show again. Why
Speaker 1: does ninety two point one do this to you? Diana says.
Speaker 1: She's a West Palm Beach listener. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on there. I mean, sometimes it's the technology, trust me,
Speaker 1: it's not the people. They're doing on purpose, because they're
Speaker 1: really good people who love the show. They're big fans
Speaker 1: of the News Junkie Man, big fans down there. They're
Speaker 1: one of the first stations to take a risk on us,
Speaker 1: and we've done very very well for quite a long
Speaker 1: time down there. Now Almo a sudden a decade. We'll
Speaker 1: look into it. We'll see what's going on. Hopefully it's
Speaker 1: just some fluke thing. Let me know if it happens more, though,
Speaker 1: you can always email me tips at the Newsjunkie dot
Speaker 1: com Tips the News junk heat dot com. All right,
Speaker 1: quick break, when we come back, we'll try to stay
Speaker 1: on time here. At some point, I got new updates
Speaker 1: on that Perez Hilton front. I got more from that.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, that our favorite new politician who
Speaker 1: hates every holiday ever. We'll we'll talk about her. And
Speaker 1: then the fishback guy promised some sort of big bombshell today.
Speaker 1: Will he deliver on it? I don't know. We'll find out.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next on The News Junkie Rolling on
Speaker 1: hanging out with you on the show, Amandy, you look
Speaker 1: nice today, you smell good and everything. We're happy to
Speaker 1: be your friend. Welcome into the show. If you're new
Speaker 1: around here, you can learn about the world's most viral
Speaker 1: newsroom over at thenewsjunk heat dot com and gosh darn it,
Speaker 1: people like you. Oh do they? Is that true? I
Speaker 1: don't know, not as of right now you're talking to
Speaker 1: I thought Celim was talking about me for a second.
Speaker 1: I apologize, didn't mean to make it all about me,
Speaker 1: but I had just the lamest radio bombshell on everybody
Speaker 1: on the school mic thing in between the breaks on
Speaker 1: YouTube dot com sash and he was junkie. Is it
Speaker 1: because I was legit upset? I don't know why I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have any vested interest in this at all, and
Speaker 1: I shouldn't care about the losers over at the USA today.
Speaker 1: But at USA today they did a thing where they
Speaker 1: had everybody in the world to vote, and they said
Speaker 1: the best fast food fries in the nation were from
Speaker 1: Dell Taco, of all places, And it just struck me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, are you kidding me? Are you like?
Speaker 1: This is? This is what it's come to. First of all,
Speaker 1: journalism in twenty twenty six. Right, check that one off,
Speaker 1: and the best fast food fries. Even though we're falling
Speaker 1: into the trap right now. Then second, the Dell Taco
Speaker 1: Place wins the best French fries from a fast food
Speaker 1: establishment in the United States. It's like you just got
Speaker 1: here and you went to Del Taco and that was it.
Speaker 6: It was like you didn't even.
Speaker 1: You didn't even go anywhere else. It's a taco place.
Speaker 1: You can have French fries at a taco place. It's
Speaker 1: just I don't. I can't. I can't do it. I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. That was anyhow, let's let's move.
Speaker 1: You can have French fries at a taco place. They're
Speaker 1: they're not going to be the best. They're not the best.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be. I know, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: They're a text Mechs place. They're probably not even the
Speaker 1: best at what they're doing over there. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear it. I get it. I
Speaker 1: know everybody has their choice stuff. But for me, that
Speaker 1: was just what are you doing over there at the
Speaker 1: USA today? What the hell is even going on? For? God? Said,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna have to go give him a
Speaker 1: shot on the way home. Why they're feeding into it.
Speaker 1: This makes it worse Sea Lane. So that I know
Speaker 1: that I'm around money, Well, they still get your money though,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you did, then well
Speaker 1: then I know that I'm right because I've tried out
Speaker 1: what they have on offer over there. It's ridiculous. You
Speaker 1: cannot do that to yourself for God's sake. I mean
Speaker 1: you can, but I think that you probably shouldn't, at
Speaker 1: least for now. There's been a lot of raging about eastcooters.
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show Legitimate, Legitimate Gripes.
Speaker 1: I've seen it many times. You've probably seen it. Maybe
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. Have you been in this situation
Speaker 1: where you're driving down the road in a like a
Speaker 1: swarm of the kids on the e bikes will zoom
Speaker 1: around you and in the road driving lanes? Not a
Speaker 1: swarm though.
Speaker 5: In my neighborhood the other day I had to like
Speaker 5: almost drive around somebody. There was there's something where like
Speaker 5: a couple dudes were just in the middle of the road.
Speaker 1: What do you what are you doing? What? What's going on?
Speaker 5: And then I think those were e bikes they had
Speaker 5: they were they looked a little thicker. The e bikes
Speaker 5: look a little you know, the ones that you don't
Speaker 5: immediately know, especially if they're not currently moving, They just
Speaker 5: you could tell there's more girth to them on account
Speaker 5: of the motor and the battery and all that.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 1: You think you got a little motorcycle. You're riding around
Speaker 1: on your e bikes. Some of them go fast. You've
Speaker 1: seen them zooming by like something. They're wheeling on them
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you know, it's not always a good thing.
Speaker 1: And there was a kid who just died on one
Speaker 1: of these. I did forgot where that was. Look up
Speaker 1: the e bike death. Actually, if you look that up
Speaker 1: on the Newswires ceiling, you'll probably find multiple stories of this,
Speaker 1: because the one I saw was a kid plowed into
Speaker 1: a semi and his mother was doing the whole thing
Speaker 1: where it was like, oh, he's sticking a good kid.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this could happen to him, and like, well,
Speaker 1: he's riding his e bike in the middle of the show,
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road, doing wheelies and he
Speaker 1: loses control and a semi hits him. That's how it happened.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be rude, but that's literally what
Speaker 1: happened in this situation, the Chicago one. That's it. And
Speaker 1: they said that was the third kid dead in Chicago,
Speaker 1: three down, lots to go in Chicago just on e
Speaker 1: bikes And I don't know if that was the past
Speaker 1: year or what.
Speaker 6: What was the details on that.
Speaker 5: Recorde Chicago family mourning a sixteen year old boy who
Speaker 5: was killed after crashing into a semi while riding an
Speaker 5: electric scooter on the North Side. He's the third Chicago
Speaker 5: teenager killed this year while riding an e scooter this year.
Speaker 1: This year, we're in August this year, he's the third
Speaker 1: one killed on one of these East scooters. And this
Speaker 1: is like one of the few unifying things outside of Hey,
Speaker 1: the USA Today article about the best fast food fries
Speaker 1: in America is trash and somebody should burn the HQ
Speaker 1: to the ground. Not literally, but maybe somebody should really
Speaker 1: send them an email. They send them an email, don't
Speaker 1: burn them to the ground, send them any email, strongly
Speaker 1: worded letter about how stupid it is that they made
Speaker 1: that decision. But this is a left wing, right wing
Speaker 1: Kumbaya moment. They're coming together on this one. In fact,
Speaker 1: here's mom. Donnie the mayor of New York City, even him,
Speaker 1: even he's against the East scooters. New York City mayor
Speaker 1: on Twitter says too many lives have been cut short
Speaker 1: by high speed illegal e bikes and East scooters. No
Speaker 1: bike is illegal, right, No by is illegal? What is
Speaker 1: an illegal e bike? Maybe they have like rules on
Speaker 1: speeds and governing the engine there.
Speaker 5: A couple a couple of weeks ago, maybe even a
Speaker 5: couple of months, we talked about how Amazon had to
Speaker 5: stop selling them or block them in certain states because
Speaker 5: you were able to get I think it was California
Speaker 5: had made some rulings on your maximum speed of an
Speaker 5: eastcooter or e bike, and so the stores couldn't sell them.
Speaker 5: But then the kids were just ordering them on Amazon,
Speaker 5: and they came back and said no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: you got to you gotta shut that down.
Speaker 1: Not anymore. According to this mayor, the mayor of New
Speaker 1: York City, this is not some right wing guys yelling
Speaker 1: at clouds against the e bike sor e scooters thing.
Speaker 1: This is a far opposite of that, and he says
Speaker 1: too many lives have been cut short by high speed
Speaker 1: illegal e bikes. And e scooters. That's why we're issuing
Speaker 1: cease and desist orders against forty two online retailers that
Speaker 1: have been selling these dangerous devices to New York City residents,
Speaker 1: including Target. Is it Temu or Timu? I always forgetmos Timu.
Speaker 1: I would just call it Timu over here, Target, Timu, Wayfair, Walmart,
Speaker 1: and Amazon. So the Mayor of New York is like,
Speaker 1: we're coming after you for selling these e bikes. The
Speaker 1: safety of New Yorkers is not for sale. And then
Speaker 1: they show this. It's like, is the vehicle you're selling legal?
Speaker 1: Like this's a float chart? Like they're doing the whole
Speaker 1: like done done done. Is like it is done. Vehicle
Speaker 1: you're selling legal? And they got a float chart. E
Speaker 1: bikes pedal assists or throttle with pedals? Does it go
Speaker 1: over twenty five miles per hour? Boom? It's illegal? That
Speaker 1: sucker is illegal? Scooters stand up scooters? Does it go
Speaker 1: over twenty miles per hour? Boom, it's illegal? Mopeds? I
Speaker 1: guess there's like some different rules on the moped front.
Speaker 1: I don't think mopeds are the problem. No moped people,
Speaker 1: I'm not coming at you. I think the only problem
Speaker 1: is young kids here the whinos alone. Young kids are
Speaker 1: getting the e bikes for their birthdays or whatever. They're
Speaker 1: having fun. I do not blame them for that. I
Speaker 1: would want to do the same thing. But you cannot
Speaker 1: rove around in gangs on the streets and your e
Speaker 1: bike all right, stay in like in your neighborhood somewhere,
Speaker 1: zoom around there. I don't have any problem with that.
Speaker 1: But when you're riding out on the streets and taking
Speaker 1: over streets in some cases with this, then that becomes
Speaker 1: an issue. And then even the Mayor of New York
Speaker 1: is like, We're gonna shut down forty two online retailers
Speaker 1: for selling these things.
Speaker 5: I think for mopeds you borderline have to like register
Speaker 5: them as vehicles, like I think. Ye, my friend had
Speaker 5: a moped in middle school. Should not have but I
Speaker 5: think it had like a small license point on it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: those are always fine, like a vespa. I'm totally fine
Speaker 5: with those. I never had an issue with that personally,
Speaker 5: but perhaps you have let us know what you think.
Speaker 5: Send a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com. Lisa emails
Speaker 5: and she goes an e bike injury post like this one.
Speaker 1: What is this hang on? I don't know. Can I
Speaker 1: play this or is this going to be like somebody
Speaker 1: absolutely losing a body part or oh, it is one
Speaker 1: of the worst e bike injuries I've treated as a surgeon.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to one of.
Speaker 15: This right here is one of the worst e bike
Speaker 15: injuries that I've seen. My name is Creamshoth. I'm an
Speaker 15: orthopedic traumatologist. The subjection badly to treat broken bone geeze.
Speaker 15: This unfortunate patient was a preteen who got an e
Speaker 15: bike on Christmas, who was riding it and unfortunately crash it.
Speaker 1: The same day. He came to the hospital and he
Speaker 1: had an open segmental femur frashure. Okay, I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is, but this is his femur. Is that
Speaker 1: means his leg.
Speaker 5: It's like a whole piece of bone is removed from
Speaker 5: the rest of bone, so like instead of just one break,
Speaker 5: it's two breaks where now you have this little bone island.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's like if you break it sounds like
Speaker 1: a fun place to business. Stop if you break a
Speaker 1: broomstick and then then you break another piece off, so
Speaker 1: there's like a completely disconnected piece and then the two
Speaker 1: other pieces. That's what it's looking like the really really
Speaker 1: really bad break.
Speaker 15: What that means is he broke his thigh bone and
Speaker 15: multiple spots and the bone came through the skin, which
Speaker 15: he also has a comminuted fracture of his patilla, which
Speaker 15: means that he broke his kneecap in multiple spots. That
Speaker 15: fracture was also open as well. We took him to
Speaker 15: the operating room on the day after Christmas. We washed
Speaker 15: out his open fractures to make sure that there was
Speaker 15: no contamination, and we stabilized his injuries. His thigh bone
Speaker 15: was stabilized with a rod and my cap was stabilized
Speaker 15: with plate and screws. His injuries have all healed, and
Speaker 15: now he's back on another e bike.
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, if you are my child and you
Speaker 1: I get you an e bike because all the other
Speaker 1: kids have e bikes and you crash and you break
Speaker 1: your leg and your knee is all messed up like this,
Speaker 1: and then when you come home you're like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go back on the e bike again.
Speaker 5: That's a big no. That is I'm surprised. No there's
Speaker 5: even another e bike. They say it's a new one.
Speaker 5: Did the first one get wrecked? That's what it sounded
Speaker 5: like this is a.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy had to get he had to get
Speaker 1: like an entire rod, metal rod through his leg with
Speaker 1: the screws and everything in there. He's more machine now
Speaker 1: than man twisted evil. It's just crazy to me. And
Speaker 1: I mean again, I get that it's fun. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be crapping on kids enjoying themselves and stuff.
Speaker 1: But the level of danger here is pretty significant, to
Speaker 1: say the least. Thank you for sending that over, Lise.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you can get on board as well.
Speaker 1: You can email the show how well. It's easy tips

Speaker 1: We don't repeat it either. Yeah, but because then sometimes
Speaker 1: I get for the paragraph and you're like, I, Jack
Speaker 1: Smith really do hate this type of people. Who hoo, whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa whoa? Dial it back Tips at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com or send your dispatchers record yours to get
Speaker 1: on the show at the Newsjunkie dot com. Right now,
Speaker 1: oh's this somebody talking about somebody shooting flock cameras. Hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: after talking about flock cameras last week and then again
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I thought you'd find this interesting, says Blunt
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputies announced Friday they had arrested Adam Heimerman,
Speaker 1: thirty seven, in connection with the string of felony vandalism
Speaker 1: events targeting the alpr's aka flock cameras. This is another
Speaker 1: guy who went out there and he's just destroying the
Speaker 1: flock cameras on the streets. He doesn't like him. He
Speaker 1: wants to get rid of these damn things. And this
Speaker 1: guy is now in trouble. The thirty seven year old
Speaker 1: admitted to shooting the cameras, so he's just going out
Speaker 1: there and popping them off at the flock to sum
Speaker 1: a hero, I would guess is a criminal.
Speaker 5: He was an independent Canada for Tennessee's second Congressional district.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not surprising. Crazy people run for office all
Speaker 1: the time. There's a lot of there's a lot of
Speaker 1: crazies out there. Oh did I did I show you?
Speaker 1: I didn't show you this yet. Just to revisit this
Speaker 1: woman who I'm now becoming enthralled with who's running for
Speaker 1: governor of Wisconsin. I believe Francesca Hong. Yes, the Asian
Speaker 1: lady she's running. She's a Democratic socialist, the one that
Speaker 1: pretty much hates all holidays. She doesn't like the holidays.
Speaker 1: She says she hates fireworks. She says she hates Halloween,
Speaker 1: she hates Valentine's Day. She especially hates Thanksgiving. How dare
Speaker 1: you celebrate Thanksgiving? You colonizer animal? How could you possibly
Speaker 1: do this? You know this woman, she has a chance
Speaker 1: to become the next governor of one of our great
Speaker 1: states in the United States of America. I believe Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Just double check that, Ceiland, so I'm not sending the
Speaker 1: wrong stayed over and over Francesca. Francesca Hong, so that
Speaker 1: she said, I hate I hate Thanksgiving. It's the worst.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be celebrating it. You're a terrible person. She's
Speaker 1: a Wisconsin State Assembly So yeah, okay. Then she said
Speaker 1: after that, which I think was the latest update we had,
Speaker 1: she was like, I get that some people like Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: but other people are really hurt by Thanksgiving, which I
Speaker 1: also thought was just absolutely insane. And now she's heel
Speaker 1: turned on this. Here's missus Hong again with her comments
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: She's following over, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no, she s turned the corner.
Speaker 1: She hated Thanksgiving. They should the pilgrims should have been hung.
Speaker 1: These noble savages were destroyed by the though eight white
Speaker 1: demons and and all this stuff. And then no, actually,
Speaker 1: I get that you might want to celebrate it, but
Speaker 1: there are people who are in pain. And then now
Speaker 1: this lady who's mega robotic is like, hey, actually.
Speaker 2: Saying favorite holiday is Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Surprising to hear I have it.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I actually love it.
Speaker 8: We bring social suit.
Speaker 2: It's in laws and family members and they're in laws,
Speaker 2: and it's a it's a big event.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I'm a mega fan. It's not
Speaker 1: because there was a little backlash, and I'm not being
Speaker 1: honest with you anymore. This is the only way I
Speaker 1: would believe her, really is if we just look at
Speaker 1: the rest of her tweets about all the holidays and
Speaker 1: then realize that she hates all the holidays so much
Speaker 1: that Thanksgiving is still her favorite just because it's the
Speaker 1: least bad. Somehow, It's be like me aiming my favorite beat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the vegetable, not the rap, not the rap variety.
Speaker 1: Just to go over her first one was canceled Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm good. This is somebody chronicling how this
Speaker 1: has changed. Canceled Thanksgiving should have done this in sixteen
Speaker 1: twenty one. If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us
Speaker 1: to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism in the original
Speaker 1: super spreader event that killed indigenous folx and women, so
Speaker 1: be it. That was only six years ago, less than
Speaker 1: six years ago. Then onto, I get it. But people
Speaker 1: are very upset for Thanksgiving, and now onto it's my favorite.
Speaker 9: Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many
Speaker 9: people in our communities.
Speaker 2: My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Okay, just totally legit. This is how she really feels
Speaker 1: about memories. Remember that TikTok trend. This would be perfect,
Speaker 1: the titch one, the TikTok trend where you take the
Speaker 1: video of her saying my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, and
Speaker 1: then you zoom it out to show that somebody's holding
Speaker 1: a weapon and let's pointed straight at her. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: swear I'm not saying this because I've seen a dropping
Speaker 1: poll numbers. I got more. I'll give you some more
Speaker 1: of this lady because she delivers on the clips as
Speaker 1: we roll on in the show. In just a bit.
Speaker 1: We've got your comments on on e bikes coming in.
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of those. We have many many
Speaker 1: more things to introduce as the show rolls on, and
Speaker 1: we're waiting for this bombshell news press conference coming something
Speaker 1: to shocking. Is he on his way to Tallahassee. He
Speaker 1: said he was headed to Tallahassee. I mean, he's not
Speaker 1: an actual elected official, so it doesn't matter where he
Speaker 1: gives a press conference. Yeah, I mean he just has
Speaker 1: to start a live stream and start talking. He even
Speaker 1: said he was doing it not in conjunction with his candidacy,
Speaker 1: so but somehow has to go to Tallahassee. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he's got I've got some theories on that. We'll see
Speaker 1: what's going on. We got more clips on the way.
Speaker 1: It's coming up next on the News Junkie. I love
Speaker 1: you and I appreciate you. Think it's Jason Wheeler for
Speaker 1: the Gifted subscription over at the news Junkie dot com.
Speaker 1: That's how you can support the show. Learn more over
Speaker 1: at Thenewsjunkie dot Com. We're at an inflection point. I
Speaker 1: think here, I legitimately mean this, and I think it's
Speaker 1: a good thing because I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: have heard different words thrown out all over the place recently,
Speaker 1: and some of them they think sounds like an attractive future,
Speaker 1: and some of them they think it's a bad ideas
Speaker 1: and good ideas and all these different things are out there.
Speaker 1: But I happen to think like this is the one
Speaker 1: thing I'm not blackpilled on. I'm very confident in if
Speaker 1: you explain things to people, yeah, most of the time,
Speaker 1: if they're reasonable, they'll come around to your way of thinking.
Speaker 1: Like I think most people at their base are in
Speaker 1: one of two groups. You're either an individualist. That's what
Speaker 1: I am through and through. I don't care about parties
Speaker 1: or teams or anything like that. I'm an individualist. I
Speaker 1: care about my in group, right. I care about my family,
Speaker 1: my people, my neighborhood after that. But I'm an in
Speaker 1: group person. I'm an individualist, and I'm worried about my
Speaker 1: people and my network. And then there's collectivists who largely
Speaker 1: worry about the out group, right. They care about people
Speaker 1: halfway across the world more than they care about their
Speaker 1: own neighbors. They'll swear off their loved ones and never
Speaker 1: talk to them again if they disagree on a point,
Speaker 1: But they'll care about some kid in like Sudan much
Speaker 1: more than they'll care about anybody they'll ever talk to ever. Right,
Speaker 1: these things to individualists like me, they don't make sense.
Speaker 1: They seem strange, they seem very very bizarre. But to
Speaker 1: collectivists they make perfect sense. That's where you get things
Speaker 1: like these candidates for the DSA and all these different
Speaker 1: groups out there, and then people don't really know what
Speaker 1: words mean, Like they don't know what socialism means, so
Speaker 1: they're like that seems good, isn't that what they do?
Speaker 1: And like Scandinavia and no one knows what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: But at the base of these things, I think people
Speaker 1: agree on simple things like CBS had this story. It's
Speaker 1: such a boring story, such a regular run of the
Speaker 1: mill story, but I think it can kind of tell
Speaker 1: you your ants or did this which one of those
Speaker 1: categories you fall into? Are you an individualist right? Are
Speaker 1: you a person who like I'm about my group? Or
Speaker 1: are you collectivists, which is you know, socialism and community communism,
Speaker 1: those things down the pipeline from that. And this CBS
Speaker 1: news story is about how all of these companies, huge, huge,
Speaker 1: huge group of companies have switched after in the last
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen years they were doing well, like a
Speaker 1: more socialist type thing where everybody got a pay raise.
Speaker 1: You all get a pay raise, everybody gets a pay raise,
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody together would get what they call
Speaker 1: a peanut butter style pay raise. It would be like
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio saying congratulations, all employees get a very meager two
Speaker 1: percent raise. Congratulations, you did it. We all got a
Speaker 1: two percent raise. Cool, there we go. That's the that's
Speaker 1: sort of the collectivist style. Then the individualist style would
Speaker 1: be that the merit based pay raises are the best.
Speaker 1: Sea Lane has been working so hard and doing such
Speaker 1: a good job that he deserves special recognition in a
Speaker 1: pay raise because his hard work is something that needs
Speaker 1: to be lauded, right, congratulations seland so amazing Rama he
Speaker 1: did a great job. But instead of going like, oh great,
Speaker 1: the whole company did great, so everybody deserves a bonus.
Speaker 1: And companies are moving away from these style pay raises
Speaker 1: towards rewarding strong individual performers and taking people with the
Speaker 1: most merits and the people who work the hardest and
Speaker 1: bring the most to that company and giving them the bonuses.
Speaker 1: I think, like at the base of all of these
Speaker 1: arguments that you've seen over the last fifteen years and
Speaker 1: crazy stuff about this or that or gender or whatever,
Speaker 1: I think there are things that you'll just find more
Speaker 1: people agree with. I think when I say something like that,
Speaker 1: when I say it's more fair for the people who
Speaker 1: work the hardest, who put the most in and bring
Speaker 1: the most value to a team, a company or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, to get the most benefit out of that,
Speaker 1: rather than going like, well, you know, there is a
Speaker 1: couple of people who just sit there shuffling their thumbs
Speaker 1: all day long, but everybody gets a raise. And that's
Speaker 1: what we did for quite a while. I think that's
Speaker 1: what people got into. I still think people hear things
Speaker 1: like the democratic socialism stuff and think, well, you know,
Speaker 1: that sounds like it would be more fair, and that's
Speaker 1: why you've seen such a rise in this. Actually I
Speaker 1: saw somebody trying to defend this. Actually MS NOW was
Speaker 1: putting graphics up and they're like democratic socialism versus communism,
Speaker 1: because there was like, I guess they're calling everybody communists now,
Speaker 1: and I said, democratic socialism means free and fair elections.
Speaker 1: I mean setting prices on stables and free market prices
Speaker 1: for no goods. I mean state ownership of essential services
Speaker 1: like electricity, water, in the internet, private home and business ownership.
Speaker 1: It means capitalism can be reformed to create social safety
Speaker 1: nets for all. And then you can go look at
Speaker 1: their actual website with out some cable network defending them,
Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, let's see what they said. It
Speaker 1: says a Democratic Socialists of America our program workers deserve more. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean hard workers deserve more. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: And there says imagine taking a day off from work
Speaker 1: at a future without capitalism, it might not feel as
Speaker 1: badly needed as it does now. You enjoy your work,
Speaker 1: it's interesting to you, and you're well trained for it.
Speaker 1: By the way, in any socialist world, you are not
Speaker 1: going to enjoy your work. You literally will be picked
Speaker 1: for a job, and that's the job you'll have for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. That's what socialism is. There
Speaker 1: is no you can't create your own business employee, you
Speaker 1: can't have employees, and socialism there is no such thing.
Speaker 1: That's a predatory relationship between the employer and employee employee.
Speaker 1: There are no not in socialism, there are no relationships
Speaker 1: like that. So you can't even do that. If you
Speaker 1: think you got a great idea, too bad. You do
Speaker 1: the job they give you. But it says you work
Speaker 1: as much as you're able and no more than needed,
Speaker 1: and you would control your own labor and see going
Speaker 1: to good use. It's not just a job to pay
Speaker 1: the bills. Sure, speaking of bills, you don't really have
Speaker 1: them anymore. Eliminating bills, that's a popular move, all right.
Speaker 1: You have no debt, you don't need health insurance, you
Speaker 1: don't pay a mortgage or have a landlord. Well, I
Speaker 1: thought you said I could own my house. How am
Speaker 1: I going to own my house if I don't have
Speaker 1: a mortgage or there's no landlords. Obviously this is just
Speaker 1: not true, because comfortable housing is a human right. What
Speaker 1: does comfortable mean? Your retirement is publicly funded? Food, education, energy, medicine,
Speaker 1: and transportation are not for profit businesses. They're common goods
Speaker 1: and utilities, they say, And they say, okay, enough about bills.
Speaker 1: What do you do on your day off? Maybe in
Speaker 1: the morning, you walk your kids to school, run errands,
Speaker 1: or go to a doctor's appointment. In the afternoon, you
Speaker 1: might play a sport. Who doesn't say it that way.
Speaker 1: I might be a sport you got to you still
Speaker 1: got a little bit left on dinner, Right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go out and play a sport, pro sport, practice a
Speaker 1: new skill, read, plan a trip. It says they don't
Speaker 1: know how much people just want to play grand theft auto.
Speaker 1: In the evening, you could meet up with friends or family,
Speaker 1: or eat together, maybe even go to the movies or
Speaker 1: to the park. These are all very familiar everyday activities.
Speaker 1: A socialist day off could be like any good day.
Speaker 1: Now you're free to spend your time how you like,
Speaker 1: without worrying about costs or dreading to go back to work.
Speaker 1: And so they go on to this whole thing about
Speaker 1: you know, how do we get here? And but this
Speaker 1: is this is the few they have. And then there's
Speaker 1: some people going like, no, it's it's just here's what
Speaker 1: they really want to do. They just want to make
Speaker 1: things more fair. No, I want to make things more fair.
Speaker 1: That sounds attractive to me. I want poor people to
Speaker 1: be able to have healthy jert that sounds attractive to me.
Speaker 5: Getting rid of mills sounds like, you know, free pizza
Speaker 5: on Friday. It sounds like it sounds like vote for us,
Speaker 5: you know. And it also in the water.
Speaker 1: Fountains it sounds very sexy and soda too. It sounds
Speaker 1: very sexy to think, like, because you know who's going
Speaker 1: to who's going to argue against no bills? You think
Speaker 1: there's going to be people just you know, just picketing
Speaker 1: on the side of the road going first they came
Speaker 1: for our property taxes, and now they want our bills.
Speaker 1: The thing that's bad about this, I'll just use a
Speaker 1: simple word. The thing that's bad about this to me
Speaker 1: is it can seem enticing. And the enticing thing is like, hey,
Speaker 1: would you rather have less stress? Do you think people
Speaker 1: deserve to get healthcare? Yeah? Yeah, I do? I actually
Speaker 1: Do you think we should have better public transportation? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I actually, I actually do. Would love that these things
Speaker 1: are attractive to most people. And then when you look
Speaker 1: at the ideas behind the companies, or not the companies,
Speaker 1: but the parties that are pushing all of this, that
Speaker 1: these are not the goals. The goals are not the
Speaker 1: simple things. It's a modern Bailey, you make a simple
Speaker 1: argument to get people to the radical change you want. No,
Speaker 1: And Badger says, that's why it's democratic socialism, not just socialism.
Speaker 1: That is literally what I just read from the DSA website.
Speaker 1: That is them telling you what they want to do.
Speaker 1: Barbecue Baby says, capitalism is working in America right now.
Speaker 1: The fact that I can watch you post that on
Speaker 1: a television screen and you're on YouTube watching a high
Speaker 1: speed version of an HD stream of this exact feed
Speaker 1: and not worrying about what you need for dinner tonight
Speaker 1: and probably a couple extra pounds around your belly probably
Speaker 1: proves you wrong. Yeah, that's that's what I would say.
Speaker 1: But these are the kind of things we have, and
Speaker 1: I think people will get lured into a lot of
Speaker 1: this stuff, and as I said, it's attractive. We've got problems.
Speaker 1: But the solution to our problems for me is to
Speaker 1: reward people for good work, and that I think is
Speaker 1: something that for some reason has fallen by the wayside.
Speaker 1: Why I don't know, but if you agree, let me know.
Speaker 1: Send an email, tips at the Newsjunkie dot com or
Speaker 1: a dispatch over on the website. Right now. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: see here. We actually have to have a you want
Speaker 1: to quick break here, because I've Fishback hasn't done anything
Speaker 1: other than I saw that. Somebody said, oh, his opponent,
Speaker 1: because he was kind of teasing that he had this
Speaker 1: big thing about a crime that his opponent did. This
Speaker 1: is James Fistback, who's running for governor of Florida. Then
Speaker 1: somebody said, Byron Donald's voted in the two thousand presidential election, well,
Speaker 1: serving felony probation and registered as a Democrat. On October sixteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand, Donald's was sentenced after planning no contest to
Speaker 1: a second degree bank fraud felony charge in Florida. Three
Speaker 1: weeks later, he voted. The correction on this is that
Speaker 1: he was eligible to vote because adjudication was withheld, So
Speaker 1: no felony conviction under Florida laws, So it wasn't voter fraud.
Speaker 1: But Fishback is like, voter fraud is utterly disqualifying. But
Speaker 1: that's not what my press conference is about. It's a
Speaker 1: different crime.
Speaker 6: So he's playing it, Oh, that's a good guess.
Speaker 1: That's a good guess. Not it well, And he was
Speaker 1: not even a good guest because it wasn't actually a
Speaker 1: crime that they pointed out. So we'll see, we'll see
Speaker 1: if we get this bombshell news. We know that we're
Speaker 1: going to do the hot sheet when we come back.
Speaker 1: I've got some very very shocking news from the world
Speaker 1: of baseball that have to share with you, and a
Speaker 1: whole bunch more as we continue on the show coming
Speaker 1: up next on the News Junkie. Thank you, Thank you
Speaker 1: for the love, the support all of that. Thank you
Speaker 1: water Boys for the five gifted premium subscriptions over on
Speaker 1: the neews junkie dot com. And happy birthday. Yeah, water boys,
Speaker 1: look at that guy go. We deserves a little bit
Speaker 1: of a round of applause. Also, I have some magnets
Speaker 1: that I heard you. Oh yeah, yeah, they sent some back.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a post office. Don't get me
Speaker 1: started in the post office. It's a whole thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: we have I do want to talk about. There's this
Speaker 1: like whole Kentucky organ donation group that they shut down,
Speaker 1: which sounds weird, but trust me, is way more exciting
Speaker 1: and controversial than you would think. We'll get to that.
Speaker 1: An update on that Max Miller politician guy who seems
Speaker 1: to be burying himself every time he opens his mouth,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. A shocker from Taco Bell. We'll
Speaker 1: Taco Bell about that. That and much more on the way.
Speaker 1: But right now, let's do the Hot sheet.
Speaker 5: It's in news, but not like ivestigative reporting on the
Speaker 5: planet with top stories from the people on your screens
Speaker 5: and speakers.
Speaker 3: Are on the Hot sheet with Sea Lane.
Speaker 5: That's right, the top five stories and the nonsense news
Speaker 5: brought to you by that mortgage guy Don And you know,
Speaker 5: I'm not surprised that this statement was released, but you
Speaker 5: have to at least expect the blowback. You gotta know
Speaker 5: that when you say things like this, people are not
Speaker 5: going to lose the irony in it. Perez Hilton's team
Speaker 5: is speaking out after the blogger was transported to a
Speaker 5: hospital following the disturbing live stream we all heard about
Speaker 5: this week. The agent for Perez Hilton, Dante Rescuo Telly
Speaker 5: rescul Rescuo, Dante are I believe you, says in a statement.
Speaker 5: At this time, we do not have any additional confirmed
Speaker 5: information to share regarding Perez Hilton's condition. Our focus from
Speaker 5: on Perez's health, recovery and the privacy of both him
Speaker 5: and his family.
Speaker 1: During this incredibly difficult time. I see, yeah.
Speaker 5: He mentions privacy two more times. Yeah about Perez Hilton.
Speaker 5: Grateful for the outpouring of concern support from fans, blah
Speaker 5: blah blah. We respectfully ask that everyone continue to honor
Speaker 5: his privacy while he receives the care he needs. And
Speaker 5: then later on at the bottom of the statement, until
Speaker 5: we have confirmed information, we will not speculator coming further.
Speaker 5: We appreciate everyone's concern and ask that his privacy be
Speaker 5: respected during this time. And the comment section just is
Speaker 5: as predictable. I mean the fact that a guy like
Speaker 5: the guy like Poresz Hilton, who has made a name
Speaker 5: for himself on not respecting people's privacy, now it's his
Speaker 5: turn and so.
Speaker 1: But other than that, not.
Speaker 6: A whole lot of news on that guy.
Speaker 5: Just people kind of diving through the post that led
Speaker 5: up to this week and.
Speaker 1: Did you see this. It's an update from Perez Hilton
Speaker 1: team and family where they said many of you reached
Speaker 1: out with concern. We're incredibly grateful for the overwhelming amount
Speaker 1: of love support. We can confirm that Perez Hilton, after
Speaker 1: this bloody live stream where he cut himself up and stuff,
Speaker 1: is receiving medical care, and our family's focus right now
Speaker 1: is on his well being. Yeah, then the privacy thing,
Speaker 1: I think that's from maybe the same statement.
Speaker 5: Possibly probably, I mean, I would assume that it's not
Speaker 5: him updating his website right now, but maybe I thought
Speaker 5: there was at least one picture from the hospital, unless
Speaker 5: that was old. Sidney Sweeney is doing a bit of
Speaker 5: good for the citizens of her home state of Washington,
Speaker 5: and she's using her partnership with American Eagle, her very
Speaker 5: controversial American Eagle partnership, to help out, says the two
Speaker 5: of them. Sidney Sweeney and American Eagle are extending wildfire
Speaker 5: relief for the home state of Washington starting Friday, running
Speaker 5: through August thirty first, and he's been shopping at American
Speaker 5: Eagle online or in store. Can donate to relief effort
Speaker 5: efforts to check out by rounding up the total on
Speaker 5: any purchase or contributing an amount of their choosing. Sydney
Speaker 5: and boyfriend Scooter Braun, who's famous for pissing off every
Speaker 5: woman in the music business, remain boots on the ground
Speaker 5: in Spokane, Washington, where sources previously said they've been bringing
Speaker 5: food to firefighters preparing at distributing meals, helping displace families,
Speaker 5: secure food and shelter.
Speaker 1: Wow, volunteering with that's good. Everybody's gotta be on board
Speaker 1: with that, right you would think, yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: would be hard to go.
Speaker 5: Hey, these are This is the same people that did
Speaker 5: the Sydney Sweeney as Great Jeans and they had a
Speaker 5: whole mid thing over that campaign in July of last year.
Speaker 5: Their collaboration continue this year with its sid for short collection,
Speaker 5: but donations at American Eagle will go to Second Harvest.
Speaker 5: They've also worked with World Central Kitchen in Spokane. Uh,
Speaker 5: I didn't notice this.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't think it showed up on New Music Monday
Speaker 5: or anything. But there there was a fake song, and
Speaker 5: I have heard of a hack like this. There was
Speaker 5: a fake song. Somebody got into the Apple Music account
Speaker 5: for the singer David, the rapper who's currently on trial
Speaker 5: for a very horrific murder of an underage girl, and
Speaker 5: they posted a song called I did It.
Speaker 1: They actually got a song uploaded and.
Speaker 5: Everything, and they got it uploaded, and for a short
Speaker 5: time it looked to users as if David himself had
Speaker 5: released a track called I Did it. It was briefly
Speaker 5: uploaded to the singer's hacked Apple Music profile in late July.
Speaker 5: The unauthorized track featured an impersonated voice and a disturbing
Speaker 5: and disturbing cover art of his tesla in a towyard,
Speaker 5: exploiting his ongoing first degree murder case. The voice mimicked
Speaker 5: him singing about a fourteen year old victim, Celeste Revas Hernandez,
Speaker 5: naming her directly and referencing specific details from the case.
Speaker 5: The track when viral, as some listeners mistakenly treated the
Speaker 5: AI style or impersonated audio as a real confession, highlighting
Speaker 5: a known streaming loop whole exploited by Internet trolls. It
Speaker 5: has since been pulled off the platform. Speaking of being
Speaker 5: pulled off of a platform, Miss North Carolina, USA has
Speaker 5: been stripped of her crown for alleged racist posts.
Speaker 1: Now this is no new story.
Speaker 5: You know, somebody gets some sort of accolade, somebody gets
Speaker 5: some sort of attention, and then they'd go through their
Speaker 5: entire social media profile and try to nitpick every little
Speaker 5: thing that they might have done wrong in their past.
Speaker 1: However, it was unique to me in this one because
Speaker 1: the or New York North Carolina the Miss USA pageant.
Speaker 5: They wouldn't go into specifics about what was said. It
Speaker 5: was just the CEO, Tom Broder said. Britney bolton House
Speaker 5: has agreed to step down from her roles Miss North
Speaker 5: Carolina after her conduct violated the standards of the pageant organization.
Speaker 5: But this publication called NC beat did go in a
Speaker 5: little more specific said Boltenhouse allegedly wrote a bunch of
Speaker 5: racially charged social media posts using an alias called Sosa
Speaker 5: the Stallion from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen. I've never
Speaker 5: heard of them finding somebody like this cousin an alias before,
Speaker 5: unless it wasn't a very good alias.
Speaker 1: It's like a Megan thee Stallion kind of knockoff things
Speaker 1: she was doing. What's she right that to say? What
Speaker 1: she posted?
Speaker 5: It just says According to the new site, Boldenhouse repeatedly
Speaker 5: used the N word while describing herself as toxic in
Speaker 5: the posts. But unless the alias directly identified herself as
Speaker 5: the person doing it, it's interesting to me that they
Speaker 5: found that. But she's now stepped down amicably with the
Speaker 5: pageant organization and she ain't Miss North Carolina no more.
Speaker 1: Damn they booted her out. Yeah, it is not a
Speaker 1: good week to be Jared Leto's career. He is just
Speaker 1: not Things are not going well in the Letto camp,
Speaker 1: where he is reportedly lost out on a role in
Speaker 1: Barry Levinson's political thriller Assassination, as sexual misconduct allegations against
Speaker 1: continue to mount.
Speaker 5: And then there's another the film that's reportedly in trouble too.
Speaker 5: The casting loss isn't the only project affected. NBC News
Speaker 5: reports that lunic Heist, the Soviet spacecraft heist film Leto
Speaker 5: is attached to at Disney's Searchlight Pictures, has also stalled,
Speaker 5: even though it still remains listed as in pre production
Speaker 5: on IMDb. Jared Leto reportedly denied all the allegations, issued
Speaker 5: a statement denying every single one from the documentary against him,
Speaker 5: saying I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire
Speaker 5: life and said the claims are absolutely and categorically false.
Speaker 1: Probably.
Speaker 5: I mean this also says not even the first time
Speaker 5: he's had allegations against him. Not a good time to
Speaker 5: be in the Jared Leto career. And when he was
Speaker 5: just like it's kind of coming back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just cruisy. He's in't a rock band.
Speaker 1: He's an actor, he's you know, he's had a lot
Speaker 1: of success and this just it didn't look good for him, honestly.
Speaker 5: At the box office this weekend, it's coming, It's here,
Speaker 5: It's finally here. They did the viral marketing campaign with
Speaker 5: Limp Biscuit and now Super Troopers three comes to the
Speaker 5: big screen from Searchlight Pictures this weekend, starring Brian Cox,
Speaker 5: Lisa Gilroy, Jay Chandra Sakhar and Hannah Simone. That's for
Speaker 5: the big super Troopers fans will be available for you.
Speaker 5: Another thing that I've seen a lot of people posting
Speaker 5: about on social media, Tony from A twenty four, the
Speaker 5: drama about Anthony Bourdain's life with this dominic Sessa Yea
Speaker 5: and Anthony Bourdain and Antonio and Bedaris.
Speaker 1: Is in it as well.
Speaker 5: From some of the trailers and stuff that I've seen,
Speaker 5: the guy does a good job playing Boordain, I think.
Speaker 5: And it might be an interesting watch. A horror thriller
Speaker 5: called ice Cream Man with Eli Roth, a family limited
Speaker 5: release called cat Video Fest twenty twenty six. And let
Speaker 5: me tell you, when I read this sheet that has
Speaker 5: like the names and like with over here, it says
Speaker 5: like who's in it this city know it, says ice
Speaker 5: Cream Man with Eli Roth Cat Video Fest twenty twenty
Speaker 5: six with.
Speaker 1: A bunch of cats. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 5: So if you want to see a bunch of cats
Speaker 5: starting him in, starting in a movie and then very
Speaker 5: weird movie with Jillian Anderson teenage sex and death at
Speaker 5: camp Miasma, which is a word I just learned yesterday
Speaker 5: on the show.
Speaker 1: Isn't it my asthma? Is it?
Speaker 5: Maybe it is. It's about a very bad smell of
Speaker 5: rotting beef. So I don't know, Maybe maybe skip that
Speaker 5: one and just go for Super Troopers.
Speaker 1: Three. Hey, if you have a quote for a mortgage
Speaker 1: and you haven't shopped it around, you're probably leaving a
Speaker 1: bunch of money on the table.
Speaker 5: That mortgage guy Don says it all the time. One

Speaker 5: the paperwork and take that first quote. Why not shop around.

Speaker 8: what was the capital of Florida that one time? And
Speaker 8: even then we got seven, so very nicely done. No
Speaker 8: points awarded on that one, and we end the day
Speaker 8: thusly in first place with nine points. Don slash Nathan congratulations,
Speaker 8: all right, sweet man? That Nathan in second place with
Speaker 8: eight points, Sea Lane slash Uncle Chris, and in third
Speaker 8: place with one point Shawn slash butterballs. That means in
Speaker 8: first place and still leading on Fritz on the street
Speaker 8: with two hundred and fourteen points. Christopher Lane, did.
Speaker 1: You be to do Shawn's math for you?
Speaker 8: I don't believe so okay. In second place with two
Speaker 8: hundred four points, that mortgage Guy Don And in third
Speaker 8: place with one hundred and fifty three points Sean Wasson,
Speaker 8: and that is Fritz on the Street.
Speaker 1: Wow. Unbelievable. Not a good performance by me, but always
Speaker 1: a good performance by Fritz. A very very talented guy
Speaker 1: and always doing Fritz's Funhouse Trivia. If you're out there
Speaker 1: looking to treat yourself, have a little fun Fritz. How
Speaker 1: often is it that when you're doing Fritz's Funhouse Trivia
Speaker 1: you have a situation like the milksnake kind of thing,
Speaker 1: when you're doing trivia and you say here's the answer
Speaker 1: and somebody's like throwing a flag on the field challenging it.
Speaker 8: It happens probably once every quarter or so, and then
Speaker 8: I'm like, all right, well, I'm not gonna it's my game.
Speaker 8: I'll just give you points.
Speaker 6: I saw.
Speaker 1: I saw some lady hosting a trivia and she had
Speaker 1: people challenge her on three questions in a row. Wow.
Speaker 1: I was like, Fritz would never drop.
Speaker 5: The ball like this, and I don't know that I
Speaker 5: would feel weird doing the challenging me too.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a dick about it. People
Speaker 1: were like, each question she would say what the answer
Speaker 1: was and then after be like, well, like it would
Speaker 1: be like a hubbub, you know, like a robber rob
Speaker 1: robber kind of thing.
Speaker 5: Because I was at a trivia night that was vastly
Speaker 5: inferior to Fritz's one time, and one of the quest
Speaker 5: one of the questions was what is the scale by
Speaker 5: which an earthquake is measured? And I was like, I
Speaker 5: bet this guy's wrong, but I bet, and he wanted
Speaker 5: Richter as the answer. You punch him in the faith,
Speaker 5: I wanted to, Yeah, then we're not accepting the moment
Speaker 5: magnitude scale, which is the correct answer.
Speaker 7: What a nerd?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what am I gonna do? Go to the bodium
Speaker 1: and be an absolute different.
Speaker 5: Moments magnitude scale when you're wrong the Richter years ago.
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following him on all social media platforms
Speaker 1: over at thenews, junkie dot com, slash share, It's Fritz.
Speaker 3: We love him.
Speaker 1: You do too, Fritz. We'll see you next time, buddy. Ooh,
Speaker 1: there he goes. Don you can hang out with us
Speaker 1: for a bit, Yes, sir, right, we got some things

Speaker 1: the show over on thenewsjunkie dot com. That mortgage guy
Speaker 1: Don is with us.
Speaker 6: Hey Don, Hello, Sean's.
Speaker 1: Hanging out with us today. I just wanted to say
Speaker 1: big congrats. I saw the Orlando Sentinel was best Local
Speaker 1: Local Mortgage Company two years running.
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, two years in a row. Man, I'm pretty
Speaker 6: pretty Uh, I don't know a lot of gratitude for
Speaker 6: that because it's it's one of those that's actually voted
Speaker 6: on by the readers of the Sentinel. So it's you know,
Speaker 6: some of those contests are kind of nonsense. You wonder
Speaker 6: how they get their their winners, but this one's actually
Speaker 6: voted on by the people. So yeah, super super happy
Speaker 6: and uh, a lot of gratitude for that.
Speaker 1: It's like a fan award show, you know, you like
Speaker 1: the fans actually get their chance to vote, and you said, well,
Speaker 1: these are the things that they actually like and best
Speaker 1: local mortgage company that mortgage guy. Don it makes sense
Speaker 1: to us. I mean, we understand how this works.
Speaker 6: Over a dozen over a dozen local companies were nomine
Speaker 6: So I'm pretty pretty excited.
Speaker 1: Good company. Do you know those people like do you
Speaker 1: are you friendly with the competition or is it kind
Speaker 1: of like.
Speaker 6: Mortgage? I've been doing mortgages in Orlando since the late nineties,
Speaker 6: so I know most of the guys. You know, if
Speaker 6: they've been in the business for any amount of time,
Speaker 6: we all kind of know each other. So it's a
Speaker 6: friendly rivalry. It's kind of it's kind of like the
Speaker 6: you know, the celebrity poker tournament. It's a friendly rivalry. Okay,
Speaker 6: I don't know some people that is not as friendly.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody in the mortgage business who does, like,
Speaker 1: Oh god, there is a real bad blood thing between
Speaker 1: these two people. They're gonna square off at some point
Speaker 1: in time. Has it been like a fight ever between
Speaker 1: two mortgage guys? Mortgage?
Speaker 6: I don't know what are they gonna, Yeah, pull out
Speaker 6: some calculators and figure out some numbers and have a
Speaker 6: math off.
Speaker 1: I've been watching clips of chess boxing all right there.
Speaker 1: Anything with a twist can pop off and be a
Speaker 1: re really really big thing. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: chess boxing is. What's chess boxing. It's just what it
Speaker 1: sounds like. Don It's that they box there in the
Speaker 1: middle of boxing, and then they play a little bit
Speaker 1: of chess, and then they go back to boxing, and
Speaker 1: you have to be good at both of them. You
Speaker 1: watch that, I just saw. It sounds terrible. Does it
Speaker 1: sound terrible? I don't know.
Speaker 6: It just sounds boring. Wow, I'm intrigued. I want to
Speaker 6: see that. I like chess, and you know, I've done
Speaker 6: some boxing, but not not since I was in the army.
Speaker 6: But I'd like to watch it. I think that sounds
Speaker 6: pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: Celand, the same guy who's very particular about the scale
Speaker 1: for measuring earthquakes, particular about accuracy. Okay, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: but I think uh weird is very accurate. It sounds cool.
Speaker 1: I think most people want to do it. Chess boxing
Speaker 1: is big. There's probably millions of views on those things.
Speaker 1: Let me see. I'm just check.
Speaker 6: It got to be you gotta be like a renaissance
Speaker 6: man to be chess boxer, my brain and brawn.
Speaker 5: My my dad when I was little, had one of
Speaker 5: those computers with the actual floppy discs, like the five
Speaker 5: and a quarter, the ones that that actually did the
Speaker 5: floppy like flopped, and he had a chess game where
Speaker 5: it was the most basic of animation, but when you
Speaker 5: made a move and you killed somebody's other character, it
Speaker 5: would like animate and dominate the person, like like like destroyed.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh, that's kind of fun. This
Speaker 1: is kind of works. Look here, it is right here.
Speaker 6: This is it.
Speaker 1: They're they're boxing, they played chess. They go back and forth.
Speaker 1: You gotta be strong and you gotta be smart, like
Speaker 1: Don said, it's a big deal out there.
Speaker 6: And so they take the board out of the ring
Speaker 6: during the boxing part and then they're sitting there in
Speaker 6: the ring playing chess with their gloves on. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Although I think it would be better if they kept
Speaker 1: the chess board in the ring. I think that they
Speaker 1: can do that. Is this that he picks up a
Speaker 1: white brook and he moves it down the g file.
Speaker 5: I look at my king and I look at his king,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I'm definitely the white pieces like he
Speaker 5: picked up wrong a couple of piece and moving down.
Speaker 1: The board like, yeah, I like how they do this.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he had been confused. And while
Speaker 1: we're punching each other in the face as hard as
Speaker 1: we can, and the guy switched up his chess pieces.
Speaker 1: Chess boxing is taking over the world. Trust me, don't
Speaker 1: let ceiling convince you on this one.
Speaker 6: I'm fine being the odd man out on chest boxing.
Speaker 6: It just gave me a new idea, though. I'm thinking
Speaker 6: about some slap monopoly or something like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they turned monopoly. Yeah, yeah, it goes in that direction.
Speaker 1: I did see some of the headlines today tell us
Speaker 1: that this is good news bad news if this is
Speaker 1: going to last. For a while, the Associated Press was saying,
Speaker 1: mortgage rates rise for the fifth straight week. Is this like,
Speaker 1: what is this related to?
Speaker 8: Like wars?
Speaker 6: What, what's what's causing this? What are we looking at
Speaker 6: here for people?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I would, I mean I would disagree with what they
Speaker 6: said about the you know, for five straight weeks, it's
Speaker 6: definitely related to the war. Every time oil prices move up,
Speaker 6: the rates get a little worse. Every time there's talk
Speaker 6: of the strait of hormones being closed the rates go
Speaker 6: up a little bit, and then the converse, like on
Speaker 6: Monday they're talking about, okay, we're about to come to
Speaker 6: an agreement. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the rates have you know,
Speaker 6: went down and that was directly responding to the news.
Speaker 6: And the rates as of yesterday were the lowest they've
Speaker 6: been in two weeks. So it's it's something that's constantly
Speaker 6: up and down, so at whatever moment in time you
Speaker 6: decide to report on it, you can come up with
Speaker 6: some sort of tagline. But they've been for the month
Speaker 6: of July, they basically moved kind of sideways, a little
Speaker 6: up one day and then better the next and so forth.
Speaker 1: See that. That's why it's important sometimes to talk to
Speaker 1: somebody who knows what they're talking about, like Dawn, because
Speaker 1: you might see the headlines. It might scare you out
Speaker 1: of making a move on a house that you really want,
Speaker 1: or like a refinance or something, and it might be
Speaker 1: a mistake. But there's some sort of maybe the headlines
Speaker 1: aren't long, but they're just not giving you the full
Speaker 1: context of what this decision really means and what's what's
Speaker 1: ahead for you.
Speaker 6: A big part of what I do with my clients
Speaker 6: is by by knowing this news and by watching this
Speaker 6: stuff every day, day in and day out, hour by hour,
Speaker 6: what's going on with the rates? I help them advise
Speaker 6: you know when to lock the rate in. I might say, now,
Speaker 6: we don't want to lock today, let's look at tomorrow.
Speaker 6: You know, things are trending this way or that way.
Speaker 6: So it's it's really important to know exactly when the
Speaker 6: right time to lock.
Speaker 1: What is the You might not want to say this.
Speaker 1: I don't even think about it until I started asking
Speaker 1: the question. What was just saying no, if you don't
Speaker 1: want to answer, Okay, what's the biggest the highest mortgage,
Speaker 1: the highest number that you've you've gotten for somebody like millions?
Speaker 6: Oh well, I do commercial loans, so we've had some
Speaker 6: of those in the fifteen to twenty million range.
Speaker 1: What can I tell you something seeing? Should I talk
Speaker 1: about this thing that happened yesterday? Or should we you know?
Speaker 1: You know how I am. Are you texting me about it?
Speaker 1: Or I already texted you about it. I have the
Speaker 1: things phil happened yesterday right now? Okay, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Don I'll tell you, but don't don't show my laptop
Speaker 1: or I'm not showing your laptop. Oh okay, you can
Speaker 1: talk somebody. Somebody tried to make a donation, probably the
Speaker 1: person that was behind that mortgage, uh, that mortgage guy down.
Speaker 1: Somebody tried to donate subscriptions to Secret shows yesterday and
Speaker 1: the pay didn't go through, like the charge didn't go through.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, what's what's this one? And
Speaker 1: I looked. Somebody tried to donate Look at this, you
Speaker 1: can show I can show this now?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so?
Speaker 1: Yeahmail address? So no, it doesn't doesn't it does where
Speaker 1: on the bottom.
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, hold on, I could get rid of that.
Speaker 1: I can get rid of that. That's a door. Okay,
Speaker 1: there it is. Somebody tried to donate four point one
Speaker 1: million dollars worth of subscriptions over on the news junkie
Speaker 1: dot com, and I was like, what what happened here?
Speaker 1: Like they put their credit card in and everything the
Speaker 1: payment failed because the amount was too hard. They tried
Speaker 1: to gift four point one million dollars worth of Secret
Speaker 1: show subscriptions, And I go, who was the person behind this?
Speaker 1: Maybe it was some really rich famous person. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: like one of that mortgage guy Don's Buddies or something.
Speaker 1: It was fine, and then I looked and it was
Speaker 1: from Chef Chicks Have Huge Balls, And I thought, okay
Speaker 1: with with a Z with a Z on the end
Speaker 1: of and the huge is all in caps. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I thought, oh, maybe they just wanted to really
Speaker 1: support the show with a four point one million dollar donation.
Speaker 5: But it was like sixty nine thousand gifted subs. Hang on,
Speaker 5: can I show let me see, don't show this?
Speaker 1: I show this? Okay, I got it. Oh no, well on,
Speaker 1: give me a second. Take my word for it.
Speaker 6: It was six thousand.
Speaker 1: I want to show the people. I want to damn
Speaker 1: it now, I can't now. I was sixty nine thousand subscriptions. No,
Speaker 1: six hundred ninety six hundred ninety two thousand subscriptions. And
Speaker 1: they tried to give that four point one four million dollars.
Speaker 6: It didn't go through.
Speaker 1: Well, we want to let you know, if you do
Speaker 1: want to off load just absolutely shocking amounts of money
Speaker 1: like that, we will allow you. We can find a way.
Speaker 6: So it actually, it's very mad at our payment processor
Speaker 6: right now for a charge.
Speaker 1: Oh it's too much money they were trying to send us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, send it to me. I'll buy the subs
Speaker 6: a little out of time, just a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple out of time that'll gobble them
Speaker 1: all up one by one. We were so close. But
Speaker 1: if you need a mortgage, and that doesn't need to
Speaker 1: be a fifteen million dollar twenty million dollar commercial mortgage,
Speaker 1: maybe it's just, you know, a regular run of the
Speaker 1: mill mortgage for your house of your dreams.
Speaker 5: Is there a minimum like on the on the on
Speaker 5: the other side of Sewan's question, is there a mortgage
Speaker 5: that is so low or a number so low that
Speaker 5: a bang will just be like no, just just pay
Speaker 5: the money. Yeah, I mean really, there's some you have
Speaker 5: to put some realism with it because there are rules
Speaker 5: of how much we can charge on a mortgage. You know,
Speaker 5: there's caps, so the caps overall fees can't be above
Speaker 5: three percent. So if it's like a say, a fifty
Speaker 5: thousand dollars mortgage, you can't charge enough money to even
Speaker 5: to do the loan. So our minimum on mortgages is
Speaker 5: around one hundred thousand, and on home equity lines around
Speaker 5: fifty thousand.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, don't make mistakes no matter what amount of
Speaker 1: money you're tossing at this because it could mean a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Don has told us, before you make
Speaker 1: a mistake, you think you can do it by yourself,
Speaker 1: you go with somebody who's actually working for the seller, whatever.
Speaker 1: There's a million different mistakes you can make and that
Speaker 1: could lead to you paying thousands of dollars more every
Speaker 1: month than you should be. Be smart, reach out to
Speaker 1: the expert who's going to help you out and guide
Speaker 1: you through the process. That mortgage guy Don, and congratulations, Don,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you two years running over the Orlandos
Speaker 1: Center for the best local mortgage company. Good to have
Speaker 1: you back, good to see you. And this week back
Speaker 1: in the saddle. Somebody said, I was so pissed off.
Speaker 1: I went to listen to that mortgage Guy Don show
Speaker 1: this weekend and it wasn't a live one. Who is
Speaker 1: he this week? Yes, he is right. We're gonna be.
Speaker 6: Live me for It's an MJ on Saturday nine am.
Speaker 1: Nice, there you go live and back at you this week,
Speaker 1: that mortgage guy Don. Thanks for hanging out with us, man.
Speaker 6: My pleasure. Thank you, Sean, thank you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely there he goes. When we come back, we'll get
Speaker 1: into jury duty. I'll talk to you about this Kentucky
Speaker 1: organ donation group that's been controversial in the news. What
Speaker 1: the hell is happening here? Is it really as weird
Speaker 1: as they say. We'll listen to the press conference and
Speaker 1: see what juicy stuff comes up that is coming up
Speaker 1: next on the News Junkie. Don't forget you can always
Speaker 1: watch the show. Yeah, imagine that. You can watch the
Speaker 1: show live or on demand a full production Seiland switching cameras,
Speaker 1: HD shots you got like all the visuals. You can
Speaker 1: watch the show at YouTube dot com slash the news
Speaker 1: Junkie if you're interested. Jason emails tips at the News
Speaker 1: Junkie dot com about Key West. He says, good afternoon.
Speaker 1: I just got back from the Keys of my daughter
Speaker 1: and we had a great time. Oh man, I'm headed
Speaker 1: there in like a little over a month for Sea
Speaker 1: Leon's birthday. I'm escaping him and running to the Keys,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it. He's going to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: which is strange because normally he might go to the
Speaker 1: Keys and I would go to New Orleans. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going out switching it up.
Speaker 12: We are.
Speaker 1: I recommended going to Mallory Square at about five pm.
Speaker 1: Have a nice dinner at the Cuban restaurant. I love
Speaker 1: good Cuban food, so I might be down for that
Speaker 1: and stick around for the street performers. By the way,
Speaker 1: I brought a magnet with me to put on the
Speaker 1: southernmost point marker, but it was closed. There's a fake
Speaker 1: one a block away that and that seems dumb. You're right,
Speaker 1: they have. They have like a fake one for pictures. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the marker itself is in essence fake, but
Speaker 1: this is a photo op. But it's a fake, fake one.
Speaker 1: I didn't know they'd close it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I never heard of that before. I never I
Speaker 5: have never heard of the fake one. The southernmost point marker,
Speaker 5: which looks like a big buoie that's painted in red
Speaker 5: and black, and they'd stand in front of it ninety
Speaker 5: miles to Cuba, and the people wait in line to
Speaker 5: stand in front of it, and then there's always like
Speaker 5: some homeless guy trying to sell you a fish made
Speaker 5: out of palm fronds while you're waiting in line. But
Speaker 5: it's not the actual southernmost point. I think if you
Speaker 5: even look south you can see more land, but there's
Speaker 5: a military base that's not really accessible behind it. But
Speaker 5: then the actual southernmost point of the continental United States
Speaker 5: is something you have to get.
Speaker 1: To via boat.
Speaker 5: Because I think last time I was in Key West
Speaker 5: was for a wedding, and we were all invited down
Speaker 5: a bunch of us, like a bunch of our downtown crew,
Speaker 5: because these were these were downtown people that worked at
Speaker 5: bars and restaurants. We were all invited down there, but
Speaker 5: just for the reception and for the for the welcome dinner.
Speaker 5: Because the actual wedding was they boated out the bridal party,
Speaker 5: the wedding party, and the officiant to an island where
Speaker 5: they just popped up on the beach through the wedding
Speaker 5: there and it was it was just an island that's
Speaker 5: it doesn't have any access except via boat.
Speaker 1: And I think that was closer to the southernmost point,
Speaker 1: if not the southernmost point. This is you can stand on.
Speaker 1: This is fakery, he says, it's a fake one one
Speaker 1: block away. But that seems dumb, So I put the magnet.
Speaker 1: You put the news junkie magnet on a random fan
Speaker 1: life fan instead, Bye, says Jason, thank you.
Speaker 5: Maljory Square is the place I told you about where
Speaker 5: everybody goes to watch the sunset.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a that's because down there one of
Speaker 1: the things that's famous as you see the sunrise in
Speaker 1: the sunset, right, you can catch them both. You can
Speaker 1: catch both of those if you want to a storm
Speaker 1: and outside, be careful if you hear around us locally,
Speaker 1: drive safe and all that good stuff and something weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know how true this is, but I'm interested.
Speaker 1: They said the United States will put this injury duty here.
Speaker 1: In fact, let me do the intro just so it's
Speaker 1: in the boxes. Court is known session.
Speaker 16: Let put your phone down and pay attention before we
Speaker 16: call the bailiff over to whip your ass.
Speaker 1: You're knowing jury duty with the news junkie. They shut
Speaker 1: down this Kentucky organ donation group because they said there's
Speaker 1: been some crazy failures. I'm going to play the audio
Speaker 1: of the press conference here in a second. We'll see
Speaker 1: what's happening. Jury Duty brought to you by Motivate of
Speaker 1: the Duit Law from Injured on the Go. Just call MO.
Speaker 1: Just call MOO dot com. Just call MO dot com
Speaker 1: or go to the If you go to the website,
Speaker 1: you'll see all the information that you need. But you
Speaker 1: can also just go to your phone eight hundred call
Speaker 1: MO to call him to start your case. Here's RFK
Speaker 1: talking about this Kentucky organ donation group they shut down.
Speaker 12: Just become the decertification of Network for Hope, the organ
Speaker 12: procurement organization SERVE in Kentucky and parts of Indiana, Ohio,
Speaker 12: and West Virginia. We reached this decision.
Speaker 1: I have a camera shot this not very close. It's terrible.
Speaker 12: Persistent patient safety failures to repeated oversights, repeated warnings, directive
Speaker 12: action plans, and multiple opportunities.
Speaker 2: To improve.
Speaker 12: That were Reviewers found serious deficiencies and nearly thirty percent
Speaker 12: of the cases.
Speaker 1: So they're saying thirty percent of the cases they took
Speaker 1: issue with. If you believe this, The Trump administration said
Speaker 1: wednesday will shut down a Kentucky organ donation group accused
Speaker 1: of continuing plans for organ retrieval from some patients who
Speaker 1: unexpectedly showed signs of life. Well, that's bad if true.
Speaker 1: If they're now, I'm okay, I'm alright, I shut up.
Speaker 1: We've got plans for your organs already. While those surgeries
Speaker 1: were canceled, the cases made headlines several years ago, prompting
Speaker 1: a spike and people around the country revoking their organ
Speaker 1: donor registrations. IBTW would encourage you not to do that,
Speaker 1: because my personal experience is that my sister was saved
Speaker 1: at one point in time by a liver transplant from
Speaker 1: some young kid who unfortunately lost his life, but it
Speaker 1: extended hers for quite a long time and was it
Speaker 1: was a great thing, and so I want to pay back.
Speaker 1: So if I've got something in me and somebody else
Speaker 1: can use it and I'm rip or close enough to it,
Speaker 1: maybe a little a little further away in their cases
Speaker 1: at some point, but I'm I'm all for that. But
Speaker 1: it was discouraging for a lot of people.
Speaker 5: And they hate in this place, hate stories like these,
Speaker 5: just because it's one of the conspiracy theories that people
Speaker 5: believe the most that just has it has so much
Speaker 5: support where they're like, it's a business.
Speaker 1: Do they want your organs? But oh, it's so gross
Speaker 1: the black market organ donors.
Speaker 5: No, No, they they think that if they put organ
Speaker 5: donor on their license, their doctors won't try as hard
Speaker 5: to save them.
Speaker 1: Oh like that's what. Oh hello, all right, buddy, I
Speaker 1: told you I was getting a little rocky out there
Speaker 1: that wasn't me. I didn't hit that button.
Speaker 6: All all power just dropped in the studio. You still
Speaker 6: got me, right, yeah?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well I'm still with you here, but
Speaker 1: we're to take quick break. Hopefully I don't die during
Speaker 1: the break. It's a little wild outside. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the joy of this show. Quick Break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, a woman discovered she had not one,
Speaker 1: not to but twelve fake something with her What did
Speaker 1: she have? Why did she have them? We're gonna investigate.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next on the news. Junkie, take this
Speaker 1: thing down, shot for shun.
Speaker 6: You know, made a lot of best breads here, the
Speaker 6: best bread.
Speaker 1: I'll see that if I don't survive this, it's been
Speaker 1: a blast, man. So good to hear your voice. It's
Speaker 1: been good to get to know you.
Speaker 3: You know this this may be the end.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be then what.
Speaker 6: Your last words to me are?
Speaker 1: This could be. That's why I'm trying to say I
Speaker 1: love you right now. I'm trying to tell you yeah,
Speaker 1: right there. I'm in the middle of an emergency. We
Speaker 1: have lost power A couple of times. Did we go

Speaker 1: But the computer that sends me the view of the
Speaker 1: studio that has all the cameras, the multiview, the grit
Speaker 1: is the one that's closest to the garage door.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and for whatever reason, like the path that the
Speaker 5: video takes to get from place to place within your room,
Speaker 5: it is subject to interference.

Speaker 6: walk up. But I haven't done for you.
Speaker 1: I have a gift for you. I have to tell you.
Speaker 1: Somebody says it's blurred. Yeah, because there's a corrential storm. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't see on the outdoor camera that you've pulled
Speaker 1: up Sean bdmx con. It's chaos out there. It's catastrophe

Speaker 1: Probably not. Oh okay, all right, it's rough out there
Speaker 1: right now. That doesn't look too bad that there's some
Speaker 1: of the worst stuff may have moved by, thank god.
Speaker 1: But just so you guys know, this is why Hey,
Speaker 1: you supporting the show becoming a premium subscriber over on
Speaker 1: the neewsjunkie dot com. Let's get that plug in right,
Speaker 1: or gifting subscriptions to get your hands on the final
Speaker 1: fifty Count them fifty of the latest limited edition magnet
Speaker 1: for the show. It's important because all this stuff is expensive,
Speaker 1: and I do have backups, right, Like, I've got a
Speaker 1: backup system going on here, but I think I've only
Speaker 1: got about like twenty minutes or twenty five minutes. Maybe
Speaker 1: we've got another one that Austin brings over during emergencies
Speaker 1: is that you was mine. Oh God, yeah, in it, baby,
Speaker 1: We're in I feel like Lieutenant Dan on the top
Speaker 1: of the ship and we're rocking around and the just
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy.
Speaker 5: Have we already made that comparison once this week? Probably,
Speaker 5: but it's a good one to go back to. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it absolutely works.
Speaker 1: So the thing is, in situations like this, if the
Speaker 1: power kicks out, I've got like twenty five or thirty
Speaker 1: minutes of backup. If I want the real backup that
Speaker 1: would give me. I think Austin and I were working
Speaker 1: on something that would give me like six to eight
Speaker 1: hours full studio six to eight hours. Then I can
Speaker 1: straight up broadcast through all the hurricanes, stream through all
Speaker 1: the hurricanes and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: They've come a long way in some of the battery
Speaker 5: backup systems. I know this is very nerdy of me,
Speaker 5: but this is just one of the one of the
Speaker 5: things that I do at night because my my I've
Speaker 5: watched enough things on solar setups that my YouTube algorithm
Speaker 5: is now feeding me that kind of content. And they
Speaker 5: have a new battery backup that's like like a mesh
Speaker 5: backup system.
Speaker 1: Uh. And that uh you can get like a couple
Speaker 1: of them, though would it would do a bunch of
Speaker 1: au And that thing you were talking about is what
Speaker 1: Austin was telling me to get.
Speaker 5: The one with a little touchscreen and it looks like
Speaker 5: a like a slim device that if you put it
Speaker 5: under your TV, most people wouldn't even know it's a battery.
Speaker 1: There's there's one we could build on that Austin said,
Speaker 1: could give us like six to eight hours full streaming,
Speaker 1: full audio, full nothing can stop us now kind of deal.
Speaker 1: Kevin says, this segment is making me moist. If you
Speaker 1: only knew, If you only knew. But we're hanging on
Speaker 1: by a thread over here. I want to share a
Speaker 1: story with you in the meantime as we as we
Speaker 1: we make our way through this weather emergency. For for us,
Speaker 1: maybe not for you, but for us. Uh, there's our
Speaker 1: pland auctivity. The power hour let's talk about this lady
Speaker 1: right here. All right, this woman right here, Let's take
Speaker 1: a look. This woman is in some trouble. She's in
Speaker 1: trouble because of some things she had on her during
Speaker 1: this police stop. Well, I'm gonna play the footage here.
Speaker 1: This was posted by hs HCSO Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 1: and Florida. Is what I'm gonna guess is happening here.
Speaker 1: It says deputies discovered a driver with twelve IDs but
Speaker 1: no valid driver's license. Why would you have twelve fake
Speaker 1: IDs on you? Twelve fake IDs? And she gave out
Speaker 1: a fake name. Let's go in here we go. Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely going off to the Sheriff's office. There is
Speaker 1: a stopty for two reasons. Okay, One, your tail lights
Speaker 1: aren't on, so it's completely dark back there.
Speaker 16: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the second reason, your tag lights are out,
Speaker 1: so you have no light over your license plate.
Speaker 6: Are you have your license on you?
Speaker 1: Ma'm I don't.
Speaker 6: Honestly, my boyfriend is supposed to meet me over there,
Speaker 6: and he's.
Speaker 1: Supposed to come to the car.
Speaker 6: Okay, do you have a license?
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't have that oh, oh do
Speaker 1: you have Are you go right to your owner of
Speaker 1: the car? No, I didn't even rented my boyfriend Lennard.
Speaker 1: And where's your license out of New York, New York.
Speaker 1: What's your name?
Speaker 3: B r I A n n A r A n
Speaker 3: A balancela b r A n n A.
Speaker 1: That's Branna, Branna. Yeah, you can't spell your fake name.
Speaker 1: This is like that. One time I wish I had
Speaker 1: the clip of this. I watched an episode of cops
Speaker 1: and the guy, the cop goes to him, what's your name?
Speaker 1: And he because this guy was in trouble, and he goes,
Speaker 1: so my name is John, and he goes, okay, can
Speaker 1: you spell that for me? And he goes j O
Speaker 1: n h And he goes j O n h. And
Speaker 1: the guy goes, yeah, my name John and he goes,
Speaker 1: that's a strange spell and he goes, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's just the unique thing about but it is
Speaker 1: j O n H. He goes, oh, what's your what's
Speaker 1: your last name?
Speaker 3: John?
Speaker 1: And he's like Johnson. And then the guy couldn't spell
Speaker 1: John and came up with a fake name John Johnson
Speaker 1: j O n H. And of course that turned out
Speaker 1: not to be his name, So Brianna, I've never found
Speaker 1: a way to make that b r A n n A,
Speaker 1: but that's what she says her name is. And then
Speaker 1: Venezuela or something is their last name. I live in
Speaker 1: New York.
Speaker 2: I'm here in Florida, literally, just visiting front.
Speaker 1: She's lying, I'm here, so you don't have a New
Speaker 1: York like identify idea at all. No, Okay, of course
Speaker 1: we're trying to I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: they're getting around. I can just stay by the back there,
Speaker 1: so so basically there's stories i'll make all right. So
Speaker 1: she's now outside of the vehicle with the officer and
Speaker 1: he's saying she's been trying to like be sweet to him,
Speaker 1: maybe try to woo him over a little bit during
Speaker 1: this whole thing, and the cop finds a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of fake id's, like a dozen fake id's on her,
Speaker 1: and I have to wonder myself, like why why would
Speaker 1: there be so many fake id's. Let's see what we
Speaker 1: can learn. There's stories. I'll make a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me. Right, you said you live in New York,
Speaker 1: but you don't have any idea in New York, right,
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't going to I understand that. But
Speaker 1: you said you live you live in New York. Current
Speaker 1: she's wearing pajamas. What even is this? And by the way,
Speaker 1: it says New York on her pajama bottoms that she's wearing.
Speaker 1: So I feel like she's just making things up with
Speaker 1: anything she sees around her, Like she's just point to that, like, see,
Speaker 1: this is the proof that I live in New York. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm from New York. So how do you have no
Speaker 1: idea from New York.
Speaker 6: I've never had a dragons.
Speaker 1: Do you have anything with your name on her in
Speaker 1: this car?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: All these are fake. All these are fake.
Speaker 6: My name is that?
Speaker 1: How you shore?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: They got her and then a cuff her, throw her
Speaker 1: in the back of the car. She had a dozen
Speaker 1: fake IDs on her, a dozen, it says, deputy has
Speaker 1: learned Swanson that's her real name. Her name is not
Speaker 1: Brianna Valezuela. Her name is Bryce Swanson. The twenty eight
Speaker 1: year old with twelve fake driver's licenses, all with her picture,
Speaker 1: all with different names and different dates of birth. That
Speaker 1: is suspicious, very that is very very suspicious, Deputy has
Speaker 1: learned Swanson is from Canada and overstayed her visa. She
Speaker 1: was arrested and faces several charges, including fraudulent use of
Speaker 1: personal information over five thousand dollars of ten but less
Speaker 1: than twenty victims. I guess they said, but that's what
Speaker 1: was going on here. I don't know how common this is,
Speaker 1: how often this happens, But this woman was in the country,
Speaker 1: overstaying her visa from Canada, and to avoid the cops,
Speaker 1: she had a dozen fake IDs with her face, different names,
Speaker 1: of different birthdays.
Speaker 6: Why would they even know I legal immigration was going
Speaker 6: that route.
Speaker 1: Why would they be to avoid the cops.
Speaker 5: It seems like if you were trying to do that
Speaker 5: to avoid prosecution, you would try to give the cops
Speaker 5: one of those ideas. But maybe she knows that they're
Speaker 5: not going to scam or something like that. Somebody on
Speaker 5: Twitch says she's a spy. That's what it looks like.
Speaker 1: It looks like when a person has twelve fake id's
Speaker 1: with their face and different names. What do you even
Speaker 1: like to get a fake ID? HA been a fake
Speaker 1: ID as an adult is always like I want to
Speaker 1: know why you have it? Yeah, because I've told you
Speaker 1: before I know somebody who I don't know if he
Speaker 1: still has a fake ID, but he had a fake ID,
Speaker 1: and the whole scam was so that he could get
Speaker 1: really good Pearl Jam tickets.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's clever. He They have such a way of
Speaker 5: doing there. That's what she's doing.
Speaker 6: They're fake.
Speaker 1: No, she she has no idea about pearl Jam tickets.
Speaker 1: That's that's not the thing. This is strange. Maybe this
Speaker 1: is more common. Tell us why and what she would
Speaker 1: be doing with all of these a dozen fake IDs
Speaker 1: this woman had on her. Now she finds herself in trouble.
Speaker 1: Get us your thoughts, check your text messages. Oh hey Jack, No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: on your laptop? All right? Is this a dangerous link?
Speaker 1: It's not a dangerous link?
Speaker 6: How do I know?
Speaker 2: Uh? No?
Speaker 4: Is this it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is this the right spot to be this? This
Speaker 1: is what I was talking about. You just made my day.
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm in the middle of the
Speaker 1: middle of a weather emergency. This is the clip I
Speaker 1: was talking about where the guy couldn't even fake his
Speaker 1: name in a convincing way.
Speaker 8: Check you real quick, what's your name?
Speaker 3: Partner?
Speaker 1: So the first thing he does is what's your name partner.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I've got to think of a fall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta come up with a fake name. Let me
Speaker 1: come up with some clever.
Speaker 6: Whoa cool what's your name? Man, John Johnson? John Johnson,
Speaker 6: John Johnson?
Speaker 8: Do you have any idea at all?
Speaker 1: No, because I was just doing some Mike slipped, So
Speaker 1: you are we're at let's feel like this.
Speaker 3: It wasn't actually wait soill was tyle? You were lifting
Speaker 3: some tyle? Okay?
Speaker 1: So he said, my name is John Johnson. I was
Speaker 1: doing some weights. Nope, never mind, I was lifting tile
Speaker 1: and he's all over the place we're at. If honest, Hello,
Speaker 1: right there? So why are you so far out of breath?
Speaker 17: I mean, Rex Avenue is a couple hundred yards smoking
Speaker 17: cigarets and jogga and.
Speaker 1: John Jhon Johnson was smoking cigarettes and driving or jogging?
Speaker 1: Is that what he said?
Speaker 5: As smokers are known to do smoking jog at the
Speaker 5: same time.
Speaker 1: This is the worst backstory I've ever heard. Hers was
Speaker 1: at least more believable. Smoking cigarets and jogger and John
Speaker 1: Johnson's your name?
Speaker 4: What do you do?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 1: How old are you? John? Nineteen?
Speaker 8: What's your middle initial?

Speaker 1: you picked the easiest last name, and he goes, spell
Speaker 1: your last name Johnson. This dude doesn't know how to
Speaker 1: spell the word Johnson. Just from big Johnson t shirts
Speaker 1: growing up, I would know how to spell the word
Speaker 1: Johnson's like, I'm John Johnson.
Speaker 6: How do you spell it j.
Speaker 3: O n H.
Speaker 1: Johnson? That's you?
Speaker 17: Sure, John Johnson? Would you like to the police because
Speaker 17: I've never seen Johnson spelled like that. Spell it again
Speaker 17: for me j H. Yes, So you spell it backwards
Speaker 17: from the common spelling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it seems like you know. That's it's unique.
Speaker 1: It's unique. That's all we like is yeah, smoking cigarettes
Speaker 1: and jogging. That's my name is John Johnson. I'm smoking
Speaker 1: cigarettes and jogging and I spell it j O n H. Listen, officer,
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're even bothering with this right now.

Speaker 1: watch this whole thing. But the name of the video
Speaker 1: is John Johnson, world's greatest liar gets smacked down from mother.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: Mom get involved.
Speaker 5: Perhaps at the end of this video, they run into
Speaker 5: his mother and she's not quite pleased.
Speaker 1: John, I know, we do have to take a break.
Speaker 1: He the mom. The mom has arrived.
Speaker 6: Let's say right.
Speaker 3: Here, you keep doing that.

Speaker 1: your feedback and we'll go into a grab bag segment,
Speaker 1: a bunch of different clips, a bunch of different stuff

Speaker 1: up next on the News Junkie. Welcome in from the
Speaker 1: Power Hour. Rolls on here on the show. Join in
Speaker 1: on the show that just keeps on chugging along and
Speaker 1: learn at thenewsjunkie dot com. We're still alive, see len
Speaker 1: uh huh, We're still alive. We're still alive. We're still
Speaker 1: alive over here, all right. I had a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff to work in. Somebody said, what's going on with
Speaker 1: that Max Miller guy? That was a guy that we
Speaker 1: played some clips of yesterday, and he's running for office.
Speaker 1: I think he had like a deadline to drop out
Speaker 1: real soon in the race. But Max Miller, or who
Speaker 1: I believe is a Republican, it has like a really
Speaker 1: nasty fight going on with his ex wife and their
Speaker 1: kid and his ex wife's family. And he said that
Speaker 1: his ex father in law wanted to pay his ex
Speaker 1: wife ex father in law, who was a current senator, Yes,
Speaker 1: wanted to give five million dollars to his daughter so
Speaker 1: she would just leave him and the family and not
Speaker 1: give them any more problems. And then of course the
Speaker 1: family said, know, we never offered her five million dollars,
Speaker 1: and his ex wife is like, this guy's abusive and crazy.
Speaker 1: And then the ex wife said that the kid was saying,
Speaker 1: you know, something to the effect of like daddy hit me,
Speaker 1: or daddy going to kill you. And then he said,
Speaker 1: my kid is not smart enough to speak in sentences
Speaker 1: like that, like, couldn't have been my kid. Not because
Speaker 1: I don't abuse my child, but it couldn't have been
Speaker 1: my kid because they don't speak well enough.
Speaker 5: Hey, speaking of current elections, look up Fishback's ex account.
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, did he posted? Okay?
Speaker 3: Hold on?
Speaker 6: All right? He said it wasn't the voter fraud thing.
Speaker 1: Hang on, let me go back your score fishback on? Okay,
Speaker 1: he's okay? Is he still going?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so? All right, all right, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the beginning of this.
Speaker 4: About this here we got approached. Whoa, all right, you boost,
Speaker 4: Good afternoon everyone. As I eluded last Thursday, give.
Speaker 1: The more volume. I give it a little more volume.
Speaker 1: This is allegedly where he said his opponent in the
Speaker 1: race to become Florida governor, which is not going to win,
Speaker 1: his opponent, he said, is guilty of a crime. He
Speaker 1: got some inside info and this is the felony, and
Speaker 1: it's going to ruin the whole race. And he told
Speaker 1: his opponent, you have twenty four hours or I'm throwing
Speaker 1: this press conference. Let's see what's going on here.
Speaker 4: A government whistle blower approached my campaign with a disturbing
Speaker 4: pattern of evidence implicating Congressman Donald's and what I want
Speaker 4: to stay right at the outset. This is the first
Speaker 4: conference I have ever done that has never had any
Speaker 4: campaign signature.
Speaker 1: Because this is not a political event.
Speaker 4: Let me directly say this is the first and last
Speaker 4: time I will talk about this because what I'm discussing
Speaker 4: today is not political. What I'm discussing today is about
Speaker 4: informing the voters of Florida.
Speaker 1: Get to it, fish back. They deserve to know. You
Speaker 1: may never have a microphone. I'm an elected representative. Why
Speaker 1: is he talking so slow? Because he's got this sense
Speaker 1: of like importance, self importance that that just is unmatched.
Speaker 1: So he says, no way, this is real, This is real.
Speaker 1: This is very important discussion.
Speaker 4: With that said, I've directed my campaign from here on
Speaker 4: out to not run any ads, to not promote what
Speaker 4: I'm going to discuss in way, shape or form, because
Speaker 4: once again, this is not political.
Speaker 1: This is about transparency.
Speaker 4: On July twenty first, twenty twenty six, NBC News reported
Speaker 4: that Republican Florida Congressman Corey Mills was under criminal investigation
Speaker 4: by the Department of Justice. Like virtually every federal investigation public,
Speaker 4: this one began with a single suspect and quickly spread
Speaker 4: to include others. This government whistleblower who approached my campaign
Speaker 4: has confirmed that this investigation has now expanded to include
Speaker 4: US Congressman Byron Donalds, who, along with Corey Mills, is
Speaker 4: under investigation for federal sex trafficking. Federal prosecutors are investigating
Speaker 4: two dates in question, May seventeenth, twenty twenty four and
Speaker 4: November nineteenth, twenty twenty four, dates when Congressmen Mills and
Speaker 4: Donalds are said to have traveled to the MGM National Harbor,
Speaker 4: a luxury hotel resort in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where prosecutors
Speaker 4: believe that both Mills and Donald's solicited, procured, and paid
Speaker 4: women for sexual acts.
Speaker 6: Federal prosecutors are in.
Speaker 4: The final stages of this investigation and will soon charge
Speaker 4: both men under Title eighteen of the US Code, Section
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty, a felony that carries the conviction of five
Speaker 4: years in prison. In the coming hours, Byron Donalds will
Speaker 4: call this investigation a political attack. It's not the Department
Speaker 4: of Justice, led by a Trump appointee of the same
Speaker 4: political party. Is not investigating Congressman Donald's for political reasons.
Speaker 4: They are investigating him because there is credible evidence that
Speaker 4: he committed a very serious crime. My campaign from the
Speaker 4: beginning has not been about running against Congressman Donald's. It
Speaker 4: has been about running for the people of my state.
Speaker 4: My campaign did not seek.
Speaker 1: Out this information.
Speaker 4: My campaign was approached by a whistleblower who provided details
Speaker 4: that only someone with direct knowledge of a federal investigation
Speaker 4: could know.
Speaker 1: All Right, so he's saying there was already a investigation
Speaker 1: going on. Tod He say, what do you say, Corey Bush?
Speaker 1: I forgot Corey Mills. He said, there's an investigation going
Speaker 1: on to a Congressman, Corey Mills, and now it's also
Speaker 1: including his opponent in this election for Florida's governor position. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But to me and Byron Donalds is the guy tell
Speaker 1: me if I've got this wrong, because what I heard was.
Speaker 4: Not.
Speaker 5: The whistleblower says that or has evidence that Byron Donald's
Speaker 5: was involved in this, but that he was already being
Speaker 5: investigated for it. Like the investigation is happening in Donald's
Speaker 5: name is already an investigation that doesn't seem like as
Speaker 5: big of a secret as he's saying.
Speaker 1: That it hasn't been announced that he was being investigated.
Speaker 1: I do see that Byron Donalds has posted some stuff,
Speaker 1: but he's not talking about this. He's talking about he's
Speaker 1: on some other show. He posted an endorsement thing about
Speaker 1: two hours ago. Yeah, he hasn't posted anything else responding
Speaker 1: to this yet. But basically I think am I some
Speaker 1: summing this up correctly to say, Like, the suggestion is
Speaker 1: that a guy's inner investigation for getting a hooker at
Speaker 1: a hotel, and they also think that Byron Donalds possibly
Speaker 1: is under investigation for also getting a hooker at a hotel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the comments section is like so much worse than I
Speaker 1: thought it. I mean, he said felony, so I guess
Speaker 1: it's a felling. I'm trying to see that it's the
Speaker 1: same reason it's a felony for what happened to Diddy.
Speaker 5: You know, people having sex workers cross state lines, Yeah,
Speaker 5: is trafficking. But I mean, if they're willing to do
Speaker 5: it and they're not under age, I don't care, right,
Speaker 5: I don't care.
Speaker 1: If he bought an escort for the night, and like
Speaker 1: even if he's married or I don't know what that
Speaker 1: was going on, but that to me is not this
Speaker 1: level of importance. Maybe you think so, but we'll see
Speaker 1: what's going on. Somebody says, nobody's believing this buddy, nice
Speaker 1: try though. Somebody says, good job destroy him Byron Donald's
Speaker 1: is in major trouble.
Speaker 3: I don't know is he.
Speaker 1: That's what the comments are saying. So we'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on this and see that that was the bombshell
Speaker 1: that he was at least holding out over everybody. Your
Speaker 1: reaction to it so dramatic. What wol that guy is?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's got a shop, but
Speaker 1: maybe hell does. When we come back, we're to do
