Speaker 1: the song for her. So there we go. All, we
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to on a Friday. As promise,
Speaker 1: let me bring you back to bring you forward, As
Speaker 1: so often happens on this show. We all watched the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl commercials, and I think we've now arrived at
Speaker 1: what might be I'm presenting to this to you, and
Speaker 1: then I'm going to present it to you with a
Speaker 1: with a question on another poll today that I really
Speaker 1: am interested in. But is this the biggest Super Bowl
Speaker 1: ad fumble of all time? That is the question that
Speaker 1: I have for you, just just to start before we
Speaker 1: get to the pole. Is this the biggest Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Ad fumble of all time? Let me bring you.
Speaker 1: Back to Super Bowl Sunday And when the commercials aired
Speaker 1: for Ring Ring, cameras running in and had Ring a
Speaker 1: lot of buzz about tho one I never saw it.
Speaker 1: You know, Ring Ring really had a redemption arc. They
Speaker 1: really did.
Speaker 8: Ring.
Speaker 1: If you don't know, I believe, I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: screwing this up. Ring went on to Shark Tank and
Speaker 1: pitched all those Shark Tank people's oh, including mister wonderful
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban and you know all the all the Matt
Speaker 1: dere or not Matt Damon but Damon John whatever that
Speaker 1: guy's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of them.
Speaker 1: Right, So it go up there and they pitch the
Speaker 1: ring doorbell camera and they're like, it's like a doorbell,
Speaker 1: but it's a camera, and it's like, you get it.
Speaker 1: It's like a doorbell and you ring it but you're
Speaker 1: ringing up the camera and all the people on the Shark.
Speaker 1: Then it was called doorbot. Was it doorbought? Wow, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know that far, so it was called doorbo.
Speaker 2: They then they were.
Speaker 1: Like it's not gonna work, and you don't have a deal,
Speaker 1: you want too much money, et cetera, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: then afterwards Ring just exploded and became a massive company.
Speaker 1: But this is the largest l that anybody has carried
Speaker 1: after the Super.
Speaker 2: Bowl ads have run in a while.
Speaker 1: Here's the ad that started is that's our family. But
Speaker 1: every year ten million go missing, and the way we
Speaker 1: look for them hasn't changed in years. All right, old
Speaker 1: fashioned tugging at your heart strings. There's lost dogs in
Speaker 1: all the neighborhoods. Putting up flyers is a really stupid
Speaker 1: way to get your dog back until now.
Speaker 4: One post of a dog's photo in the Ring app
Speaker 4: starts outdoor cameras looking for a match.
Speaker 1: Search party from Ring uses as the video of this
Speaker 1: commercial obviously shows all the houses activating their cameras to
Speaker 1: help out for this missing dog, and it turns into
Speaker 1: this like giant, giant like surveillance neighborhood where everybody's like
Speaker 1: looking for dogs. Camera is activated and they're all going
Speaker 1: at the same time.
Speaker 2: And some people were not as won over by this.
Speaker 1: Some people were like, this doesn't seem good. HEYI to
Speaker 1: help family fine lost dogs since La Milo mag Day
Speaker 1: has been reunited with their family, Be a hero in
Speaker 1: your neighborhood with search party.
Speaker 4: Available to everyone for free right now, join the neighborhood
Speaker 4: at Ring right.
Speaker 1: So they were like, don't you Ring, this is where
Speaker 1: to save dogs and have a doorbell with the camera.
Speaker 1: Did you get it?
Speaker 2: It's a doorbell with the camera.
Speaker 1: And they put this commercial out there find your dog
Speaker 1: with Search Party, and then the reaction is not what
Speaker 1: they anticipated.
Speaker 2: Ring is thinking.
Speaker 1: People are gonna love this and they love animals, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. That's not the case. People were like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. This surveillance state thing is not good. I
Speaker 1: don't like that. And actually, here are some other things
Speaker 1: you should be aware of of Amazon's Ring company. Not
Speaker 1: only they do this kind of stuff, but they have
Speaker 1: this partnership with this company named flock Flock Safety works
Speaker 1: with the cops and the other law enforcement and they're
Speaker 1: all turning us into a giant surveillance state. And Amazon
Speaker 1: has responded by in the wake of the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: ad canceling their partnership with this company. What is flock
Speaker 1: Flock is this company that is a safety company that
Speaker 1: works with the law enforcement companies and it allows them
Speaker 1: to like pool the cameras together to spy on everybody
Speaker 1: to try to solve crimes.
Speaker 3: So Flock had bigger clients already set up or this
Speaker 3: was there.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest one, I would think, because Amazon
Speaker 1: Ring is so huge. But it uses AI to locate
Speaker 1: lost pets, but that goes further solving crimes. You know,
Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie, this thing we have going on right now.
Speaker 1: They're literally using the same kind of features because they
Speaker 1: want to find footage of the abductor. But people don't
Speaker 1: like the surveillance state stuff and the pushback was so
Speaker 1: big that in the wake of their commercial they have
Speaker 1: canceled that service.
Speaker 2: They're not having a good week.
Speaker 4: They also got canceled or postponed for a contract that
Speaker 4: has to deal with FLO. Yeah, they had like a
Speaker 4: contract where they were working with some plate scanners. Yeah,
Speaker 4: your license plates. And the leaders of Alameida County have
Speaker 4: like postponed that. They're like we in California, They're getting
Speaker 4: a lot of pushback on this flock thing.
Speaker 1: I might be wrong, but I think Alameda County is
Speaker 1: a San Francisco area. I think it's near the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: I'm not positive, but the person who commented on this
Speaker 1: that I saw first said, this has got to be
Speaker 1: one of the biggest self owned in advertising history.
Speaker 2: You spend millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Probably, as we discussed on this show, about sixteen million
Speaker 1: dollars at least for a thirty second Super Bowl excuse me,
Speaker 1: a thirty second Super Bowl spot to tell everybody you're
Speaker 1: spying on them, immediately destroying your brand, reputation and up
Speaker 1: ending your business model. And so the Super Bowl ad
Speaker 1: backfired on them big time. And now Amazon's ring has
Speaker 1: canceled their partnership with that company flock who is having
Speaker 1: a bad week it looks like. But the poll that
Speaker 1: I have for you that I want, it's just general.
Speaker 1: It's very general question I want to ask today the
Speaker 1: news Junkie dot Com slash pole. Are more security cameras
Speaker 1: a good thing or a bad thing? I wanted to
Speaker 1: simplify this as much as I possibly could because I
Speaker 1: know that the people, the people in general, the audience
Speaker 1: in general, seems to be resistant to this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: People want cameras, they want their own security, but they
Speaker 1: do not want to take part in this like meshing
Speaker 1: together of cameras, and they do not seem to like
Speaker 1: the surveillance state that is all of our security cameras together. Right,
Speaker 1: So my question is, are more security cameras a a
Speaker 1: good thing or be a bad thing? Let me know
Speaker 1: what you think over at the news Junkie dot Com
Speaker 1: slash poll. I'm interested to see what the results of
Speaker 1: that will be. But this one was just it looked
Speaker 1: like a complete self own by the ring company and
Speaker 1: did not go overwell for them. As we lean into
Speaker 1: the weekend here, they're probably gonna have a couple extra
Speaker 1: drinks to get past that. All right, we want to
Speaker 1: see what you have on your mind. So let's see
Speaker 1: those dispatches rolling in today. Let's see the emails to
Speaker 1: tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. As I said in
Speaker 1: the opening, we got some mailbox money on the horizon here.
Speaker 2: I just got the mailbox money.
Speaker 6: I got the Apple one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Apple one?
Speaker 3: Did you guys gets yes, sir, Yeah, I didn't get
Speaker 3: anything from that.
Speaker 6: Wow, here was a thing, though it was weird. It
Speaker 6: was not a direct deposit.
Speaker 3: You had to still like click a link and verify
Speaker 3: and then it got sent to my venmo.
Speaker 1: But he still got a digital payment, yes, from the people.
Speaker 6: To your email that you signed up with. It might
Speaker 6: be in your spam.
Speaker 1: Folder, you guys, look into the camera so I can
Speaker 1: see on the monitor here, let's see. Are you guys
Speaker 1: going to get this mailbox money? Sea late is a maybe?
Speaker 1: So you may have used this company services, Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Born.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever heard you talk about
Speaker 1: this company. I don't know. It's a big company, and
Speaker 1: most people listening have bought something from this company. It's
Speaker 1: a food company, all right, and most of you have
Speaker 1: bought something for this company. Hell, we are paying out
Speaker 1: a lot of money for something that went wrong, So
Speaker 1: your mailbox money is on the way. In the first
Speaker 1: hour of the show today, we'll see what you think
Speaker 1: about that. More security cameras. Is that a good thing
Speaker 1: or a bad thing? Let us know. I got more
Speaker 1: on that. Of course, that ties into the Nancy Guthrie
Speaker 1: case with Google and nest. That's the camera that they
Speaker 1: had in that situation. And then some people are saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you know this is great and all that you recovered
Speaker 1: this footage from Nancy Guthrie's doorbell.
Speaker 2: But she wasn't a subscriber.
Speaker 1: So are you just storing all of these clips from
Speaker 1: my house too?
Speaker 2: What you know? What do you have? What don't you have?
Speaker 1: People's radars are really pinging on this front. So I
Speaker 1: want to see what people think about that. More security
Speaker 1: cameras a good thing or a bad thing?
Speaker 2: All right, when we.
Speaker 1: Come back, we'll get into the media circus has erupted.
Speaker 2: What's going on here?
Speaker 1: You're gonna find out that's coming up next on the news, Chunkie.
Speaker 2: A spooky weekend is upon us.
Speaker 1: We had two Friday the thirteenth in a row, which
Speaker 1: is weird, right, we have two of them. We have
Speaker 1: Friday in February and a Friday at thirteenth in March,
Speaker 1: which I.
Speaker 2: Guess doesn't happen that often, and if you.
Speaker 1: Are yeah, I guess, so yeah, we have two Friday
Speaker 1: the thirteenth in a row, and that doesn't happen very often,
Speaker 1: although you could find stuff like this all the time
Speaker 1: if you're searching for it. But before we get into
Speaker 1: a lot that's going on updates in the circus that's
Speaker 1: become this Nancy Guthrie abduction case and all the things
Speaker 1: that's around it, I wanted to talk about something a
Speaker 1: little bit spooky on this spooky weekend, and that is
Speaker 1: Corny goes, oh, hey, there's a new docuseries that just
Speaker 1: dropped on Hulu. And I said, oh, okay, good, good, good.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: And she goes, I don't know much about it. I
Speaker 1: just know this one just dropped, and I go, these
Speaker 1: things are usually not as good for me as they
Speaker 1: are for many people doing this show. I know. I
Speaker 1: hate I'm not saying this is some stupid, weird brag,
Speaker 1: but I know almost all the news stories that anybody
Speaker 1: would talk about make a documentary about it is the
Speaker 1: one thing that my mind holds onto like a lock
Speaker 1: box is useless details from all of these news stories
Speaker 1: that have gone viral over the last like thirty years
Speaker 1: or something hot.
Speaker 2: Flex.
Speaker 1: I know it's not a flex. I know it's not cool.
Speaker 1: But when I think about these things, I go, well,
Speaker 1: I probably know the story, but it will still be
Speaker 1: interesting to watch the documentary or the docuseries in this case,
Speaker 1: and Courty goes, yeah, yeah, here it is right here.
Speaker 1: It's about something that happened in this town called Pocatello, Idelo.
Speaker 3: My dad, I watched.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the whole thing? Yes, so I don't
Speaker 1: spoil it anything for me. Watched it yet I didn't
Speaker 1: see the last one I always saw.
Speaker 3: I was just about to text you guys when I
Speaker 3: was done watching it with Nicole. Okay, I don't remember
Speaker 3: the story either.
Speaker 2: How do we miss this story?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Even Nicole was like, I remember them talking about it.
Speaker 2: But what you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1: You did you ever hear or hear about the Scream murders?
Speaker 2: Was the person wearing a scream mask?
Speaker 1: Like from that not not exactly what they were wearing
Speaker 1: a mask inspired by and they were inspired by the
Speaker 1: movie Scream.
Speaker 2: And and I was like, I.
Speaker 1: Never remember hearing about this or talking about this on
Speaker 1: a viral news show where we cover all of these things,
Speaker 1: and the story Cordy goes, we just got to watch this,
Speaker 1: so she clicks it. It's called The Scream Murder, a
Speaker 1: true teen horror story. It's just started on February eleventh. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this week, and it's on Hulu. So if you
Speaker 1: got that, you got it already, and the store. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna only give you the basic details of this and
Speaker 1: then I don't even know the full ending because I
Speaker 1: didn't watch the last one that Sabrina has already watched.
Speaker 2: But The Screen Murder a true teen horror story.
Speaker 1: It's about this young girl sixteen years old who goes
Speaker 1: to pet sit for somebody at their house. And so
Speaker 1: she's like staying at this house, this sixteen year old,
Speaker 1: and she's like a very nice, you know, respected girl who.
Speaker 2: Doesn't get into a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to like her, and her friends figure out
Speaker 1: that she's going to be sort of pet sitting at house,
Speaker 1: sitting at this house, and three friends visit.
Speaker 2: One of them is her boyfriend, the other one is.
Speaker 1: Two friends and they all leave leaving just her there,
Speaker 1: and there was something that happened after that, and she.
Speaker 2: Was found brutally murdered.
Speaker 3: Saddy.
Speaker 1: There was a thirty something times I'm stabbed brutally thirty
Speaker 1: something times all over her body, and the cops had
Speaker 1: no clue who the hell did this, and everybody was
Speaker 1: suspecting her boyfriend. But then they start to get to questioning,
Speaker 1: and not only do they find out who allegedly was
Speaker 1: responsible for this, but the story takes so many turns
Speaker 1: and twists and mister bing Yeah, And all I will
Speaker 1: say is they recover a videotape and it is I mean,
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I was like, how do we not hear
Speaker 1: about this? This is really really a wild gripping ride
Speaker 1: if you're into that kind of thing. This weekend a
Speaker 1: long weekend for some of you them The screen Murder,
Speaker 1: A true teen horror story is the third one as
Speaker 1: good as the first two episodes.
Speaker 3: So the third one is more interesting because you find
Speaker 3: yourself in present day. I mind you, when these murders happened.
Speaker 3: I'm the same age as I was sixteen in two
Speaker 3: thousand and six.
Speaker 6: That's the same age as this girl and.
Speaker 3: These kids involved, and I am very curious as to
Speaker 3: what your take will be after watching the third episode, okay,
Speaker 3: because the discussion comes into play of juveniles getting adult
Speaker 3: sentencing for.
Speaker 1: Because they were very young, right, I we're all involved, yeah,
Speaker 1: sixteen years old. All the people involved in this.
Speaker 3: And then the back and forth between are they the
Speaker 3: same person that they were at sixteen? Should they ever
Speaker 3: have a chance to see the light of day again?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: And could people change?
Speaker 3: Are?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 2: Are people just naturally evil? Should they be released?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of big ask questions.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch the rest of it tonight.
Speaker 3: Can we discuss it next week? Though, Like we get
Speaker 3: everyone the weekend to watch and then spoiler alert for
Speaker 3: next week because there's so much shown back, I.
Speaker 1: Think it's gonna get a big following over time. But
Speaker 1: it's called The Scream Murder, a true teen horror story
Speaker 1: on Hulu, a three part series, and these guys were
Speaker 1: trying to basically live out the Scream movies. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how I'd never heard about this, But one
Speaker 1: thing about it that before I move on here, one
Speaker 1: thing about it that I really thought was so captivating
Speaker 1: was that they started to record because one of the
Speaker 1: kids had a camera all the time. They started record
Speaker 1: when they were in high school, so a lot of
Speaker 1: the footage is them walking through the halls of their
Speaker 1: high school and all of them at the lockers and
Speaker 1: them in the bathrooms and conversations with like just kind
Speaker 1: of candid conversations from years ago into high school. And
Speaker 1: it was really interesting to see that captured in the video.
Speaker 1: But anyhow, go watch that and report back everybody on
Speaker 1: Tuesday next week.
Speaker 3: Prepare yourselves. I don't know if you can even barn
Speaker 3: doing this.
Speaker 1: That's a free for our Friday, the thirteenth weekend. That's
Speaker 1: a weird, weird one. All right, Let's get you into
Speaker 1: a couple of things. One, the Nancy Guthrie situation is
Speaker 1: just absolutely fundamentally a media sideshow circus. At this point,
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're ever going to actually find this
Speaker 1: poor woman for her family. But watching some of the
Speaker 1: photographs of what's happening across the street from her house,
Speaker 1: which so strangely is frozen in time yet still getting
Speaker 1: Amazon deliveries and pizzas delivered to the doorstep, and all
Speaker 1: these media reporters, I mean, there are who there be
Speaker 1: so many people out there.
Speaker 4: I get the pizzas because the actual media is ordering
Speaker 4: the pizzas. Yes, who would be ordering Amazon deliveries unless
Speaker 4: she has a subscription.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it might have been like an auto ship thing,
Speaker 1: might be some sort of subscription. But you could see
Speaker 1: in some of the photos here. I'll put this up
Speaker 1: on see it now in a bit. The amount of media,
Speaker 1: the gaggle of media that is outside her house with
Speaker 1: all of their lights and they've got like shades blocking
Speaker 1: their shot and filters and umbrellas and cameras and microphones
Speaker 1: and they have impromptu setups next to cactuses across the
Speaker 1: street from Nancy Guthrie's house.
Speaker 2: It's a circus.
Speaker 1: It's a circus with the FEDS now battling against the
Speaker 1: local yokl sheriff, this guy who's goofy as hell and
Speaker 1: seems to be a disaster. The whole thing is just
Speaker 1: turning into a side show, and it's just unbelievable to
Speaker 1: imagine the family at the center of it. You know,
Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie from the Today Show, who's just missing her
Speaker 1: mother after two weeks of an eighty four year old
Speaker 1: woman who left her house bleeding in the custody of
Speaker 1: an abductor that they still haven't found without the medication
Speaker 1: required to keep her alive. And this circus is playing
Speaker 1: out in front of all of our eyes. So it's
Speaker 1: been something to watch all this unfold, and now we
Speaker 1: have to ask ourselves the biggest question, is woman.
Speaker 2: Even alive anymore?
Speaker 1: Is she even alive out there after two weeks? She
Speaker 1: wasn't incredibly healthy. She requires a whole bunch of medications.
Speaker 1: No progress seems to have been made on getting her released.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they've been specific about the medication
Speaker 4: she takes, but they mentioned her heart and like, for
Speaker 4: somebody who takes blood pressure medication, right, they tell you
Speaker 4: not to miss it, you know, not to miss it
Speaker 4: a lot. It's something that you know. I've known people
Speaker 4: who have been like I feel fine and have stopped
Speaker 4: taking their blood pressure medication and had bad things happen, right,
Speaker 4: And I could only think of, like, if that was
Speaker 4: what she was taking and she's been missing it this long.
Speaker 4: Add on to the fact that she's been kidnapped and
Speaker 4: she's being held at like that seems like a very stressful,
Speaker 4: raise your blood pressure kind of situation, Like one is
Speaker 4: definitely not helping the other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel so much for the family,
Speaker 1: but I'm starting to wonder myself at this point. I
Speaker 1: know people have been questioning this for maybe a week
Speaker 1: or more now, saying I don't know if this lady's
Speaker 1: alive anymore.
Speaker 4: I guess we could just really hope that they may
Speaker 4: have overplayed her need for medication and to create some
Speaker 4: sort of urgency.
Speaker 1: We haven't try and get her back.
Speaker 3: Heard anything from kidnappers, right, like.
Speaker 4: Nothing, We don't know if we've heard anything from the kidnappers.
Speaker 4: These ransom notes they're sending in TMZ could be completely
Speaker 4: unrelated that.
Speaker 1: Let's go into that for a hot second here, because
Speaker 1: the TMZ stuff is totally part of this media circus.
Speaker 1: I don't even believe that Harvey Levin of TMZ thinks
Speaker 1: there's anything to the new notes that he's getting from
Speaker 1: this guy who made a demand of one Bitcoin. And
Speaker 1: then he'll tell the family who the abductor is, and
Speaker 1: they said, well, hey, there's you know, there's a reward.
Speaker 2: Just go to the go to the cops.
Speaker 1: There's a reward for this, and he's like nope, nope,
Speaker 1: and like, oh, we got another message from this person
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's probably just a crazy person online. What
Speaker 1: like Jesus that that's gross to kind of glom onto this.
Speaker 3: Well, you have the funds. I'm sure they pay around
Speaker 3: that for a hot tip, So.
Speaker 1: You know what do it? See, that's actually very very
Speaker 1: true that if this guy wants one bitcoin and TMZ
Speaker 1: is so convinced that he might have something to do
Speaker 1: with it, TMZ could pay the bitcoin. Yeah they are.
Speaker 1: They one hundred percent could do this, and they're the
Speaker 1: ones who know who the person is and what the
Speaker 1: bitcoin addresses and all of that stuff. But clearly, and
Speaker 1: we'll get into this in a bit here, clearly this
Speaker 1: is TMZ trying to continually insert themselves into the story
Speaker 1: when I believe they don't even think there's anything to
Speaker 1: these latest notes that are coming in.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a bit.
Speaker 1: More of that on the way and the latest from
Speaker 1: the FEDS on Nancy Guthrie as the show rolls on.
Speaker 1: Plus we'll get into you respond at any time on
Speaker 1: the show. You're a part of this too. Record your
Speaker 1: video or audio dispatches at thenewschunky dot com right now.
Speaker 1: You could also email the show quick pause for weekends,
Speaker 1: email the show tips at the Newsjunkie dot com. Let's
Speaker 1: see what we have here. Tina emails Tips of the
Speaker 1: news Junkie dot com. I really want to thank the
Speaker 1: people that gifted secret shows, says Tina. Well look at that, folks.
Speaker 1: To you gifters out there, keep that rolling. Hit the
Speaker 1: gift icon on the news Junkie dot com. I wish
Speaker 1: I would have wrote down the person who I got
Speaker 1: mine from. It was so cool to listen this past weekend.
Speaker 1: Usually by Saturday morning, I'm all caught up on anything
Speaker 1: I might have missed. Hearing you guys just be yourselves,
Speaker 1: cursing all around and getting drunk was a fun time.
Speaker 1: I laughed so much. Also, want to thank you for
Speaker 1: doing these shows. You're the best. Well, Tina, that's what
Speaker 1: That's what the show is for. Glad you're finding it
Speaker 1: to be a suitable distraction. Jonathan emails the show. Jonathan says,
Speaker 1: subject line nut broth, which is about the discussion which
Speaker 1: is finalized. We've decided that the audience has decided that
Speaker 1: the nut milk and the non dairy milk options aren't
Speaker 1: actually milk and shouldn't be called that cool man.
Speaker 4: So for some reason, though, I'm with Sabrina. Nut broth
Speaker 4: sounds a lot worse than nut juice.
Speaker 1: That's gross. I'm not saying that's good Brandon, because it's
Speaker 1: not good Day Junkies. I wanted to touch on the
Speaker 1: topic yesterday regarding the nomenclature of nut milk versus cow milk. Sean,
Speaker 1: your outrage is justified because almond milk is not liquid
Speaker 1: that's secreted from an almond. You put almonds in water
Speaker 1: in a blender to make a slurry. You'll let it
Speaker 1: sit overnight, and then you strain out the solids. If
Speaker 1: a hot dog is a sandwich, then I submit that
Speaker 1: almond milk and other water nut concoctions should be changed
Speaker 1: to nut broths. Otherwise, I'm gonna make some chicken milk
Speaker 1: to sell. Love you guys, have a great weekend, says John.
Speaker 1: And finally, on the Pima County sheriff. That's the sheriff
Speaker 1: in the Guthrie case. Call me Mimi from the land. Okay,
Speaker 1: Mimi from the Land to tips at the News junky
Speaker 1: dot com. In reference to the Pima County sheriff, that's
Speaker 1: what you get when you vote for a kinder, gentler sheriff.
Speaker 1: This guy is an idiot. They say they need Judd
Speaker 1: Grady Judd, I believe is what they're talking about. Or Chitwood,
Speaker 1: Mike Chitwood, some no nonsense sheriffs, not this PEMA guy
Speaker 1: with zero riz no confidence.
Speaker 4: I do wonder if other sheriffs are watching this footage
Speaker 4: and knowing.
Speaker 1: What's happening. Mister Magi, what are you doing up there?
Speaker 1: We want to hear from more of you, so keep
Speaker 1: that feedback coming in and we'll give you more updates
Speaker 1: on the catastrophe unfolding in this Nancy Guthrie case. Plus
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the surveillance stuff in
Speaker 1: fact that is coming up next in the news Junkie.
Speaker 1: A lot of people concerned and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: blame them for the growing security problems in this country
Speaker 1: and the constant surveillance that happens absolutely everywhere we go now.
Speaker 1: And we are seeing this reflected in a lot of
Speaker 1: the stories that are getting attention this week.
Speaker 2: I told the.
Speaker 1: Story about the Super Bowl commercial from Ring from the
Speaker 1: Ring Company, where they were bragging about how you could
Speaker 1: help save dogs find lost dogs, and all the cameras
Speaker 1: meshed together and then we find Fidoh and everybody's happy again.
Speaker 1: And then hey, people reacted to that not in the
Speaker 1: heartwarming way that they thought people would. After the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl commercial, they paid sixteen to.
Speaker 2: Know that there was going to be a little bit
Speaker 2: of backlash. I mean, don't they know.
Speaker 1: I don't think they anticipated this. They have people now
Speaker 1: who want to leave the ring company because they were
Speaker 1: partnered up with this this surveillance organization called Flock, and
Speaker 1: they said, forget it. You know this blackfired on us,
Speaker 1: the biggest Super Bowl ad fumble in history. We're gonna
Speaker 1: cancel our deal with them. We're not gonna do this anymore.
Speaker 1: And people are asking me and they're like, Sean, what
Speaker 1: do you think about this? Because I put the poll
Speaker 1: up at the newsjunkie dot com slash pole saying more
Speaker 1: security cameras?
Speaker 2: Is it a good thing or a bad thing? And
Speaker 2: I asked it that.
Speaker 1: Way on purpose because for me, I am I don't
Speaker 1: care about team red team blue. I don't care about
Speaker 1: left versus right. I am an individualist, okay, unapologetically individualists.
Speaker 1: I believe you should care about yourself and your family
Speaker 1: the most, and then spread it out from there the
Speaker 1: people around you, your neighborhood, your community, and then beyond that,
Speaker 1: I do not have more empathy for my community than
Speaker 1: my family, all right, And I find it to be
Speaker 1: something that I'll never make sense of the people who
Speaker 1: do this is a phenomenon that is just strange to me.
Speaker 1: But as far as the security stuff, I think personally,
Speaker 1: from an individualist perspective, you for yourself and your family
Speaker 1: should have security cameras and make sure that your home
Speaker 1: is secured and that your property is secured, and that
Speaker 1: if something happens, you can refer to your video footage
Speaker 1: to see who the culprit was, right, go after the
Speaker 1: bad guy and such. But I hate the idea that
Speaker 1: we're falling into this surveillance trap of like, well, now
Speaker 1: that all of you have these cameras, you got these
Speaker 1: ring doorbell cameras, Sabrina and cealand have ring doorbell cameras, you.
Speaker 2: Got nest cameras.
Speaker 1: I got one of those, like Nancy Guthrie, and they
Speaker 1: say they're all over the place. All we need to
Speaker 1: do is let the cops have access to all of these,
Speaker 1: Let the neighborhood work together, and all your cameras can
Speaker 1: create this surveillance net. And people are rejecting that they
Speaker 1: do not like it my consent.
Speaker 6: And before this whole.
Speaker 3: Flock thing, I can assure you, according to the neighbors
Speaker 3: app and next door, the neighborhood has already been working
Speaker 3: together when it comes to lost pets. Now, if some
Speaker 3: horrible crime happens and they ask for that information, I
Speaker 3: have no problem going through my footage and offering that up.
Speaker 3: But for them to just take it and that is
Speaker 3: an invasion of privacy. I mean, is that not against
Speaker 3: an amendment certain seizure issue?
Speaker 1: It could be, it could be a fourth Amendment issue,
Speaker 1: and that's where people probably take the most issue with it.
Speaker 1: I think we actually agree on this, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: because I think that if the cops want to utilize
Speaker 1: everybody mine, Sabrina celans yours security camera footage, they should
Speaker 1: have to go house to house because they've done the
Speaker 1: work and they've said, these cameras are the ones that
Speaker 1: probably captured what we need. They should have to request
Speaker 1: personally from that homeowner. Will you be willing to offer
Speaker 1: up your footage? And then if that home owner wants
Speaker 1: to participate, they can, or if they do not want to,
Speaker 1: they can refuse. That's the way that I think this
Speaker 1: makes the most sense and keeps us away from this
Speaker 1: like giant, big brother security safety net that I hate.
Speaker 1: I don't like that at all. But that's not kind
Speaker 1: of where we're heading here. We're heading with like everybody's
Speaker 1: camera together together or the community of our cameras can.
Speaker 2: Keep us all more safe.
Speaker 6: Pay for my camera, yeah, I mean from my subscription.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that at all. That to me
Speaker 1: is not a good trade off. But go answer the
Speaker 1: question more security cameras. Is it a good thing or
Speaker 1: a bad thing? At the news Junkie dot com At
Speaker 1: slash poll, I just hid.
Speaker 4: Our code at the front of my house that the
Speaker 4: cops can scan, and this instant access.
Speaker 1: Oh really, this is wide open look at my cameras.
Speaker 1: I think they should have to go do the legwork,
Speaker 1: do the police work, and request everybody's footage one at
Speaker 1: a time. I think that that is the only way
Speaker 1: we can keep ourselves secure. From an individualist perspective, keep
Speaker 1: yourself and your family secure. And then if you want
Speaker 1: to offer up something to those people around you, you
Speaker 1: should not be required, You should not be opted in,
Speaker 1: you should not be defaulted into this. It's already the
Speaker 1: case that we constantly every single day, no matter where
Speaker 1: we go, when we drive, there's traffic cameras catching us.
Speaker 1: ATMs have cameras. There are cameras on every single block. Basically,
Speaker 1: you're captured everywhere, and there's no way.
Speaker 2: To opt out of it. Now. I want people to be.
Speaker 1: Secure, but I don't want them to force us to
Speaker 1: be part of this security net. That's the problem. All right,
Speaker 1: We want to see what you think. Join us with
Speaker 1: a dispatch. Go to the news Junkie dot com, the
Speaker 1: neewsjunkie dot com. And I've still not gotten them. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess I did get an in person request from
Speaker 1: the cops. The cops came to my house and then
Speaker 1: we know, you Sean, we know what's going on here.
Speaker 1: And they said, hey, we had a crime that occurred
Speaker 1: over here, and we want to know if your cameras
Speaker 1: captured it and can we have the footage? And I
Speaker 1: looked over and I said, my camera doesn't shoot in
Speaker 1: that area. I think it kind of did, but it
Speaker 1: was like a neighbor thing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like one was fighting with another neighbor and I didn't
Speaker 1: want I didn't want to get in between you don't
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 3: Be a rat.
Speaker 1: No, I like you guys fight it out, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: You guys probably got your own cameras.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the neighbor like showing the
Speaker 1: footage of the neighbors taking each other's stuff, and then
Speaker 1: I get involved in it and.
Speaker 2: Then somebody hates me for no reason.
Speaker 4: I am automatically because I don't remember saying that I
Speaker 4: want to be in this search party thing, but I
Speaker 4: think I'm opted in automatically.
Speaker 1: You are.
Speaker 2: This is what I'm talking.
Speaker 4: Pets enabled, natural hazards or firewatch enabled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, disabling right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thank you, no, thank you for that. I
Speaker 1: don't like this stuff. And I'll give you a couple
Speaker 1: examples of why there's a lot of reporting about this
Speaker 1: this week. Here's two of them. Wow, racial profiling enabled too,
Speaker 1: that's weird. I turned that off. One is this from
Speaker 1: the Federalist. It says the doorbell camera surveillance state is
Speaker 1: not just about finding Fido and Grandma, and this has
Speaker 1: been getting a lot of attention online. They said nobody
Speaker 1: knows what happened to eighty four year old Nancy Guthrie
Speaker 1: when she disappeared a couple of weeks ago, no one,
Speaker 1: that is, except for her front door camera. Guthrie allegedly
Speaker 1: did not pay the ten dollars per month Google Home
Speaker 1: Premium free required for her door mounted Nest recording device
Speaker 1: to capture her movement detect packages and recognized faces. Even
Speaker 1: if Guthrie had shelled out for a subscription to access
Speaker 1: the footage, her Nest disconnected at two am on the
Speaker 1: night she disappeared. Yet, ten days into her absence, the
Speaker 1: FBI announced the recovery of footage and images of a
Speaker 1: massed and armed person of interest on her front porch.
Speaker 1: Video showed the suspect snooping around before tampering with the
Speaker 1: Nest camera, and they said they retrieved it from quote
Speaker 1: data located in back end systems residual data. Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: what does that even mean. They're not even a subscriber
Speaker 1: and you're still keeping the footage and then whoopsweet have
Speaker 1: it over here?
Speaker 2: Still? Then they talk about that ring spot that I mentioned.
Speaker 1: The thirty second spot was designed to pull the heart
Speaker 1: strings of pet owners and good neighbors whose ring cameras
Speaker 1: could play a role in finding Fido when he goes missing. However,
Speaker 1: people didn't react to it that way. Millions of Americans
Speaker 1: rejected this we don't want to surveillance state a lot
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 2: Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Google's breakthrough from Fortune magazine and the Nancy Guthrie case
Speaker 1: is raising uncomfortable questions about how much it's watching you,
Speaker 1: how much all these cameras are watching you, And then
Speaker 1: more so, beyond just how much the cameras are watching you,
Speaker 1: what are they storing that they're not telling us about,
Speaker 1: like Google, And what programs are we part of that
Speaker 1: we didn't ask to be part of. I want to
Speaker 1: secure myself, my family, my house. I want to secure that.
Speaker 1: You want anything else, come ask me for it. The
Speaker 1: rest of it is craziness. To me, it is craziness.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think all of you guys that are
Speaker 4: spearing at clouds about this, Uh, who has my stuff?
Speaker 2: Why can they get to my camera?
Speaker 4: If I'm not a subscriber, Like if you're that, if
Speaker 4: you're that upset about it, it's time to pony up
Speaker 4: some money and get a local system.
Speaker 2: Well, pony up the money.
Speaker 4: Get get a couple of nice, big hard drives.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3: A lot of maintenance. I feel it's.
Speaker 1: It's not as plug and play. I mean, the ones
Speaker 1: that everybody is getting are so easy. But that's the thing.
Speaker 2: They got the Guthrie footage.
Speaker 4: The way they're describing it, I believe that they did,
Speaker 4: like a classic undelete. They found files that were marked
Speaker 4: for deletion because she did not pay for the subscription,
Speaker 4: and they were able to recover them. I think that
Speaker 4: just shows that if you don't pay for the subscription,
Speaker 4: your footage still gets sent to the server and then
Speaker 4: they go, this person's not a subscriber delete.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they had it for almost two weeks on
Speaker 1: those servers. Yeah, they were capturing footage for for.
Speaker 2: Does it captures footage.
Speaker 1: And one is not suppost to store it when you're
Speaker 1: not asking for it to be.
Speaker 3: Stored, of course, but and this came to a crime
Speaker 3: and something that needed to be address. I mean immediately,
Speaker 3: it's hard to use after two weeks of getting that footage.
Speaker 3: But would Nest be willing to give something like that
Speaker 3: if it wasn't such a high profile case.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they would have
Speaker 1: said this to just Joe Schmoe saying, oh, I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see if there's some additional footage on my account.
Speaker 1: This is like the FBI and they go, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Dig deep and they go, oh, looks like we found
Speaker 1: something here. Because everybody is recording you everywhere in your phone.
Speaker 1: The lie to you about that and tell your phone's
Speaker 1: not recording you. The lie to you and say you
Speaker 1: know the stuff that you're searching. Don't worry, ssh, You're
Speaker 1: incognito there. Everyone is watching you everywhere. And I believe
Speaker 1: your default as an American citizen should be not to
Speaker 1: be opted into any of these programs.
Speaker 2: Not opted in by.
Speaker 1: Default, you should try to win over people and see
Speaker 1: if they want to take part in this.
Speaker 2: They've tried with that the Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: Good luck, it didn't work. It didn't work in these
Speaker 1: cases sometimes.
Speaker 2: So Yeah.
Speaker 1: To see what you think, go to the news junkie
Speaker 1: dot com slash poll and let us know if you
Speaker 1: think more security cameras are a good thing or a
Speaker 1: bad thing generally speaking. So we'll check in on that
Speaker 1: as we roll along on the show today. You can
Speaker 1: also dispatch us record your messages at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Here is I'm gonna call you MLW all right, just
Speaker 1: because of your username MLW has a dispatch for us
Speaker 1: about these security No, no, no, you're.
Speaker 10: Talking about the Ring neighbors that I had a suspicious
Speaker 10: woman show up at my mom's house on her ring
Speaker 10: camera and I posted it on there. You know this woman,
Speaker 10: you know, really suspicious looking, and they wouldn't do it because, oh,
Speaker 10: you know, you don't know if somebody's suspicious or whatever.
Speaker 10: A month later, she's on the news for attempted murder
Speaker 10: of her brother three houses down.
Speaker 2: From my mom.
Speaker 1: Geez, that's more Is that ring doing that or the
Speaker 1: community doing that?
Speaker 2: So wait, like they wouldn't let him post.
Speaker 1: The listed photos He's saying of somebody suspicious in the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: and the app took it down saying like, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't be just profiling these people. And he said
Speaker 1: a couple of a month later or whatever, the person
Speaker 1: was on the news for attempted murder of her brother
Speaker 1: three houses down from his mom. I see a lot
Speaker 1: of that happening where people post photos in the community
Speaker 1: will attack them and they'll be like, what is this
Speaker 1: person doing wrong? And sometimes they're right, honestly, you know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like, oh my god, is that a kid
Speaker 1: riding a bicycle? In your neighborhood. Unbelievable. I do see
Speaker 1: that from time to time, but he's saying that they
Speaker 1: take down his stuff when he's posting it on the
Speaker 1: I see a lot.
Speaker 2: Of there's five cup cars at my neighbor's house. What's
Speaker 2: going on? What's happening here?
Speaker 3: Hear that boom?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like the idea that hey, that this this
Speaker 1: thing happened. Somebody on this app must know about this.
Speaker 1: Like not everything that goes down, people are going to
Speaker 1: understand why are there cops at this place at the
Speaker 1: corner of so and so and so and so not
Speaker 1: always going to come through that way. We want everything
Speaker 1: answered very quickly, and a lot of you have big
Speaker 1: thoughts on this last one for now. Mike to Tips
Speaker 1: at the news junki dot Com says, as long as
Speaker 1: you're connected to cloud for video storage, it's almost impossible
Speaker 1: to guarantee total privacy. The only way I could see
Speaker 1: keeping your info private is with a closed system like
Speaker 1: a commercial system.
Speaker 2: Keeping a hard.
Speaker 1: Drive dedicated to video storage is an added expense, as
Speaker 1: well as a hardwired camera to the drive, but that's
Speaker 1: the only way I know to keep it totally private,
Speaker 1: says Mike thank you for the email. You can join
Speaker 1: in on the discussion as well. I'd encourage you to
Speaker 1: if you want to send an email, you could be
Speaker 1: anonymous if you'd like, put that up on top, or
Speaker 1: just put your name tips tips at the Newsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: Or record a message just like you heard with MLW earlier.
Speaker 1: You can do that over on the website, which, as
Speaker 1: you might have guessed, is located for video and audio
Speaker 1: dispatches at thenewsjunkie dot com. Quick break, real quick, when
Speaker 1: we come back. More of the media circus plan out
Speaker 1: right now. It's getting embarrassing, honestly, in the Nancy Guthrie situation.
Speaker 1: We got the next episode coming up. We got this
Speaker 1: week in Florida coming up Friday rolls on and that's
Speaker 1: coming up next. In the News Junkie, they finally did it.
Speaker 1: Somebody did something about the most annoying thing in your car.
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to a lot of you right now,
Speaker 1: probably you. The most annoying thing at and a lot
Speaker 1: of new.
Speaker 2: Cars is not Jackson.
Speaker 1: It is something very very different, and the EPA finally
Speaker 1: just did something about it. And if you don't know
Speaker 1: what the EPA is, it's the Environmental Protection Agency. They
Speaker 1: finally did something about what people are saying is the
Speaker 1: most hated thing. And almost all of the new cars
Speaker 1: that are out there now I have this in well,
Speaker 1: in Courtney's car, she has this, and I don't think
Speaker 1: I have this in mind, but a lot of newer cars.
Speaker 1: Hers is much newer than mine.
Speaker 4: If it's apa, I'm thinking it has to be what
Speaker 4: the environment.
Speaker 2: Has to do with the environment.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is. It's so there's a lot of cars
Speaker 1: you guys are going to know who have this immediately
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. There's a lot of cars now
Speaker 1: who have this button that's on by default in your car.
Speaker 1: Courtney's Mercedes has this, and if you don't turn off
Speaker 1: the button every single time you start your car, then
Speaker 1: when your car goes to a stoplight, the engine will
Speaker 1: shut off. It is the most annoying thing. Every you
Speaker 1: start the car, you have to look down. There's a
Speaker 1: little button right to the side of you. You press
Speaker 1: the button to unengage this system that turns off your
Speaker 1: motor to save gas and energy when you're at a stop.
Speaker 3: Lights all the time? What about to stop light?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where they just goes and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: it's dead quiet, and then right when they hit the
Speaker 1: gas the car starts up again and lurches off. It's
Speaker 1: so annoying. It's the absolute worst, and in so many
Speaker 1: cases you cannot turn it off. I think Ashley's car
Speaker 1: does that. I think a lot of cars that are
Speaker 1: built within like the last five or six years do
Speaker 1: it because they were required to in some cases now
Speaker 1: not forced to, but required to so that they could
Speaker 1: say that their cars were consuming less fuel sea lane. So,
Speaker 1: for instance, you have this, you have a car, you
Speaker 1: put it out there in the marketplace, and the federal government,
Speaker 1: through the EPA, says, we need all cars to get
Speaker 1: this much gallon per miles per gallon so that they're
Speaker 1: more efficient and they're not polluting too much or whatever.
Speaker 1: And the car manufacturers are like, we can't get that
Speaker 1: kind of mileage out of the car. But if you
Speaker 1: put this button on your car that shuts off your
Speaker 1: engine when you're at a stoplight, which is so annoying,
Speaker 1: it'll allow your car to save just enough gas that
Speaker 1: your mile edge gets high enough that the EPA is
Speaker 1: to the point where you know, the car manufacturers win
Speaker 1: and it makes you the car look like it's better
Speaker 1: for the environment. Looks like it saves more money on gas.
Speaker 1: But everybody hates this thing.
Speaker 3: Everybody has that much better. Has it been actually proven?
Speaker 3: It makes sense, like turning on your car also a
Speaker 3: waste of gas, like you might as well just leave it.
Speaker 1: There's science to it, it says they find that there's
Speaker 1: a fuel consumption improvement between seven and twenty six percent.
Speaker 1: You save about a quarter of your gas and energy.
Speaker 1: And if they wanted to be EPA certified, if they
Speaker 1: wanted to meet all the specifications that the Environmental Protection
Speaker 1: Agency idea had to put this stupid feature on your car.
Speaker 1: And so many people have these vehicles with this and
Speaker 1: it's on by default and you have to turn it
Speaker 1: off every time. Finally they have rolled that back. Now
Speaker 1: I don't know what that start stop feature rollback means
Speaker 1: for all of us who already have cars that do this,
Speaker 1: But for new cars they won't be required to do this.
Speaker 1: The US Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zelden said an
Speaker 1: endangerment finding under previous administrations has been the source of
Speaker 1: sixteen years of consumer choice restrictions and trillions of dollars
Speaker 1: in hidden costs for Americans. People hated the forced auto
Speaker 1: start stop feature onto Americans that was pushed on to
Speaker 1: American consumers, which unnecessarily shuts off a car's engine when
Speaker 1: you stop at a red light.
Speaker 2: In other words, the engine goes off.
Speaker 1: Hate that, and a lot of you will be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I know what you're talking about. It's
Speaker 1: the worst invention in cars since since everything, since everything.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think I'd be more pissed at the stuff that
Speaker 4: with you, that's in the car that they make you
Speaker 4: pay to use. Ye, that bothers me a lot more
Speaker 4: than an engine shutting off.
Speaker 1: That is annoying. I agree. Look, trust me, people who
Speaker 1: have a car that does this every day, Vicky says,
Speaker 1: really dislike this. A lot of people who deal with
Speaker 1: this every day are like, oh my.
Speaker 4: God, I know exactly what you're talking about. What if
Speaker 4: the car company charge you to use that feature to
Speaker 4: turn it off?
Speaker 1: I would I would probably yell a bit, I would
Speaker 1: probably lose my mind a little bit.
Speaker 3: They will take it out, But you have to get
Speaker 3: an automatic seatbelt like back from the eighties.
Speaker 1: I don't want that either. I mean, it's already an
Speaker 1: automatic seatbelt, because it's going to beep at me. Until
Speaker 1: I put it on. And now I'm just a good
Speaker 1: little boy. I put my damn seatbelt on, all right,
Speaker 1: going on a journey.
Speaker 2: Here we go. I'm safe right now. I don't like
Speaker 2: having my seatbelt off. Yeah, now it's weird. Yeah I
Speaker 2: feel uncomfortable. Now you're kind of used to it, I think.
Speaker 1: But the thing is they didn't ask for people to
Speaker 1: do this. They forced it on you. So every time
Speaker 1: you start your car, it just happens automatically. It's annoying.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. All of this crap that the
Speaker 1: government forces down for environmental reasons and air quotes, it
Speaker 1: doesn't need to happen. People will make these changes on
Speaker 1: their own. Give them a better opportunity. Electric vehicles were nothing.
Speaker 1: They were nothing. Everybody hated them. They were an embarrassment.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted one. Now you cannot go one commute in
Speaker 1: any direction without seeing a dozen or more of them.
Speaker 4: You can't go to a dealership without them, you know,
Speaker 4: having a big poster about their new insert model e.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the electric version, and people get one over. I
Speaker 1: think some of them are pretty cool. Actually, some of
Speaker 1: them are very very fast, honestly. But what I don't
Speaker 1: like is when you say, hey, we've got to save
Speaker 1: the environment or whatever, and to do that, we must
Speaker 1: put the most annoying feature ever that consumers hate universally
Speaker 1: in all of their cars. Man, it's crazy, but that
Speaker 1: is absolutely a thing that is. It bothers a lot
Speaker 1: of people. So hit me up if you had that
Speaker 1: experience over at tips at thenewsjunkie dot com, or send
Speaker 1: a dispatch like this one.
Speaker 2: Here's Concrete Mic.
Speaker 1: Talking about that that the Weekend News Junkie crew.
Speaker 8: Hey, that auto start and stop on cars is one
Speaker 8: of the dumbest things I've ever seen them due to
Speaker 8: a vehicle. True, it is not only bad for your starter,
Speaker 8: it is bad for the flywheel on the transmission.
Speaker 3: That's what I meant to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that cost.
Speaker 8: Thousands of dollars when that wears out, prematurely hate that
Speaker 8: help your car starting and stopping.
Speaker 2: I had a hundred times a day nickel for every
Speaker 2: flywheel I know.
Speaker 1: When a flywheel on your transmission gets out of whack,
Speaker 1: ain't no good. That's how I say it all the time.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Concrete Mike. You have to be right, you
Speaker 1: you literally have to be right. I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about this part of it. I'm not a mechanic, but
Speaker 1: if there's a starter on your vehicle, yes there is. Okay,
Speaker 1: everybody's vehicle pretty much as a starter on it.
Speaker 2: The electric car.
Speaker 1: I don't think the electric car is due because it's
Speaker 1: just like a battery. Everybody with a gas powered vehicle,
Speaker 1: Everybody with this feature. I'll even say with the auto
Speaker 1: start stop feature on all these cars. It's annoying. Everybody
Speaker 1: has a starter on your vehicle. And if you use
Speaker 1: your starter, I mean obviously each use is going to
Speaker 1: bring it closer to its end of life status. If
Speaker 1: you are starting your car one time per day, driving
Speaker 1: it to work, driving back after starting it again, being
Speaker 1: two full starts per day on your vehicle, that quite
Speaker 1: obviously is going to do less damage to the condition
Speaker 1: of that starter than if it's happening hundreds of times
Speaker 1: at every single stop play. I haven't looked into the research,
Speaker 1: but I think you're probably right. Concrete Mike, I think
Speaker 1: you're probably right about that. Here is let's see insecure
Speaker 1: Walris is joining us.
Speaker 9: Hey guys, so I don't even own a ring or
Speaker 9: a nest or anything like that, but I have looked
Speaker 9: into a little bit how Google was able to get
Speaker 9: some of that data back, and I'm not totally sure
Speaker 9: they even got it from servers from my understanding and
Speaker 9: having dealt with some other recording devices in this industry, Yeah,
Speaker 9: those reds are just always cashing information kind of like
Speaker 9: a dash cam recorder, and if an event happens, it
Speaker 9: then kind of like timestamps, it marks it and puts
Speaker 9: it up for upload to the cloud if it is.
Speaker 1: Have a service like that.
Speaker 9: If it doesn't have a service like that, it will
Speaker 9: eventually delete that info.
Speaker 1: All right, I would agree with you if all the
Speaker 1: stories that I've seen literally didn't say Google found it
Speaker 1: in their back end, right, did they not say that
Speaker 1: it was a Google found this in temporary files in
Speaker 1: their back end, meaning it wasn't on the camera unless
Speaker 1: all of that reporting, which is quite a bit of reporting,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean it can't be can't be wrong unless.
Speaker 2: All that reporting is wrong in secure wall risk.
Speaker 1: They at least made the claim that it was coming
Speaker 1: from their their back end side of things.
Speaker 4: If you compare it really to the current topic of discussion,
Speaker 4: you're starting and stopping your engine over and over again,
Speaker 4: and in your flywheel and all that fancy stuff you
Speaker 4: just made the You just made the observation that the
Speaker 4: more you stop and start an engine, the more it's
Speaker 4: going to wear and tear on that engine until you
Speaker 4: have to repair something. Right, So if you when you
Speaker 4: delete files, if you if you were to actually write
Speaker 4: over them so they were literally no longer there, that's
Speaker 4: more wear and tear on the drive. That's why the
Speaker 4: process of deleting stuff doesn't actually wipe over.
Speaker 1: It usually know in the digital world, but in this case,
Speaker 1: I think with storage, yes, I think storage has a
Speaker 1: limited time of being able to write over and over
Speaker 1: and over again. Yes, like absolutely, and that's why and
Speaker 1: zero is eventually like if you have a hard drive
Speaker 1: for eight million years and you keep writing over it,
Speaker 1: at some point like degrade correct.
Speaker 4: So they say that with like if you buy an
Speaker 4: SD card, sometimes they'll show you at a rating that
Speaker 4: says this has like so many million rights in its
Speaker 4: in its lifetime guaranteed. But to actually wipe a file
Speaker 4: is a right you have to write over all that
Speaker 4: you have to like write, you know, scribble over everything,
Speaker 4: and that's more wear and tear on the drive, which
Speaker 4: is why instead they just mark those sectors as able
Speaker 4: to be written over so that the next time, you know,
Speaker 4: more footage gets sent in, they just ride over it.
Speaker 1: Right. Wolf Man on YouTube says auto start stop is
Speaker 1: also terrible for your valve train. Oil stops flowing and
Speaker 1: drains back to the pan. This means the cams run dry.
Speaker 1: That's what I've been talking about. The cams are running dry.
Speaker 1: Cams run dry for an extra moment, so all your
Speaker 1: engines bearings will fail sooner.
Speaker 3: I've been screaming that, and then they've been screaming that
Speaker 3: you get a new car. That's not good for the environment.
Speaker 3: If they have to keep producing these cars.
Speaker 1: Huh oh, no, it's got to be bad. All of
Speaker 1: it seems wasteful. Nobody wants drive cams. This was like
Speaker 1: a government overreach in a weird, annoying way, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad they turned that around. But let us know what
Speaker 1: you think. If you've got a car that does this
Speaker 1: stupid auto start stop thing that I'm talking about here,
Speaker 1: only the folks with the cars that do it will
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Are you glad that the
Speaker 1: EPA is saying, no, we're not doing that anymore, or
Speaker 1: you think they should keep forcing people to have that
Speaker 1: stupid button. Let me know, send a dispatch over at
Speaker 1: thenewsjunkie dot com right now, All right, real quick, here's
Speaker 1: the update form the FBI on Nancy Guthrie. They have
Speaker 1: a new poster for Nancy Guthrie, missing person. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it here. This is updated I think last night.
Speaker 1: It still has the same description for the eighty four
Speaker 1: year old mother of Savannah Guthrie, who has now been
Speaker 1: missing about two weeks or so.
Speaker 2: Here is an update.
Speaker 1: The FBI is now offering a reward of up to
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. They have upped the reward at
Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Investigation to over to up to
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars leading to for information leading to the
Speaker 1: location of Nancy Guthrie and or the arrest and conviction
Speaker 1: of anybody involved in their disappearance.
Speaker 2: Quite a bit more than one bitcoin.
Speaker 1: The other information that has come in, say, the images
Speaker 1: above show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with
Speaker 1: the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of
Speaker 1: her appearance.
Speaker 2: The suspect is described as.
Speaker 1: A male, despite you female gate people who think it's
Speaker 1: a lady with eyelashes. Approximately five nine to five ten
Speaker 1: with an average build. They say it's a man the
Speaker 1: FBI does in the video. He is wearing a black
Speaker 1: twenty five liter Ozark trail Hiker pack backpack. The FBI
Speaker 1: seeks information that will lead to the identity of this individual.
Speaker 1: That's the update in the search for Nancy Guthrie at
Speaker 1: the moment quick break. When we come back, we'll get
Speaker 1: into some of the other angles of this case. I
Speaker 1: want to get into a pretty interesting piece of information
Speaker 1: they're trying to get out after the death of James Vanderbeek,
Speaker 1: the actor forty eight years old who died this week
Speaker 1: from Dawson's Creek fame and Varsity Blues fame. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: now they're saying, you gotta be careful. This guy died
Speaker 1: of colo rectal cancer at forty eight years old. And
Speaker 1: these are the things that you need to be looking
Speaker 1: out for so that this doesn't happen to you. These
Speaker 1: are the things that you need to be looking out
Speaker 1: for to make sure you're not on the same path
Speaker 1: that forty eight year old James Vanderbeek was on before
Speaker 1: he even knew it. I'll give you those signs. That's
Speaker 1: coming up next in the news junkie. There's so many
Speaker 1: things happening in this lovely world of ours, so many
Speaker 1: side quests, so many viral stories, and then so many clips,
Speaker 1: and I try to work in the clips that go
Speaker 1: viral over the course of the week. This one in
Speaker 1: particular has fourteen million views. That's a lot. That's getting
Speaker 1: a lot of attention out there. And it's RFK talking
Speaker 1: about story in his life. So I mean, let's see,
Speaker 1: he's the health guy, right, he's a health and hellman services. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the make America healthy again guy. Here is RFK
Speaker 1: talking recently on a podcast I believe, and.
Speaker 11: I said, I'm not scared of a germ. You know,
Speaker 11: I used to snort cocaine off the toilet sees. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I know this disease will kill me, right, I don't.
Speaker 1: All Right, a couple of questions. All Right, you can
Speaker 1: say I'm not scared of germs. I get that, But
Speaker 1: suggesting that you've gone to the links of snorting drugs
Speaker 1: off of a toilet seed, why not the tank? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it might have.
Speaker 3: Been a public restroom they have like that metal one hand.
Speaker 2: That's even worse.
Speaker 1: You're you're not just saying I'm trying to show you
Speaker 1: that I don't care about germs by doing that.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a fetish.
Speaker 1: When you're you're snorting drugs off of a toilet seed,
Speaker 1: you're like trying to find the worst place to do this.
Speaker 2: But that's what he said. RFK Junior is like, Look,
Speaker 2: I'm not scared of germ.
Speaker 11: I said, I'm not scared of a germ. You know
Speaker 11: I used to smart cocaine off a toilet disease. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I know this disease will kill me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Okay, here he goes.
Speaker 3: THEO talks with everyone about especially those that are in
Speaker 3: the current administration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that tends to be his go to on his
Speaker 1: podcast over the THEO Vaughn with RFK Junior. I think
Speaker 1: that you should not be so overly concerned with germs
Speaker 1: as so many people seem to be. I mean, I
Speaker 1: do things, I take small measures to make sure that
Speaker 1: I don't get sick more than I do. But I
Speaker 1: don't think you should be out there doing this stuff.
Speaker 1: This is the equivalent of the six year old kid
Speaker 1: at the theme park who takes out his tongue and
Speaker 1: licks the handrail as he's walking along in the line.
Speaker 1: And you don't have to make it even worse. What
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing right now? That seems like
Speaker 1: a terrible idea, but let us know, he thinks. Dispatch
Speaker 1: at the News Junkiard dot com or email tips to
Speaker 1: ips at the Newsjunkie dot com. We unfortunately lost James
Speaker 1: Vanderbeek and I'm not going to play that sadass video again. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was like, very very heartwarming video of him talking
Speaker 1: about the meaning of life as he was approaching his
Speaker 1: final months with colorectal cancer.
Speaker 2: And I thought it was great.
Speaker 1: He talked about being first an actor and then he
Speaker 1: thought that didn't really grasp who he felt like he was,
Speaker 1: and then being a husband, and then being a father
Speaker 1: when he had kids, and then not being able to
Speaker 1: be any of those things when he was diagnosed with cancer,
Speaker 1: and feeling useless, feeling like he wasn't worthy of anything,
Speaker 1: and then realizing that he was a person who was,
Speaker 1: as he said it, worthy of love.
Speaker 2: And he said God's love in his.
Speaker 1: Case, but he said, even if you're not a believer
Speaker 1: in that kind of triggers you in some way. Just
Speaker 1: a person worthy of love is sort of what dawned
Speaker 1: on him was who he was in life at that
Speaker 1: point in time, and they're also through the death of
Speaker 1: James Vanderbeek.
Speaker 2: Kim and his family.
Speaker 1: His family who has to have a GoFundMe because they
Speaker 1: went broke trying to keep dad alive. Father James Vanderbeek,
Speaker 1: a father of six kids.
Speaker 4: James Vanderbeek made decent money, right, Oh, I would.
Speaker 1: Have thought so.
Speaker 2: I would have thought, so.
Speaker 1: Let me bring up the GoFundMe on this, just to
Speaker 1: see what that is at now. The GoFundMe for the family.
Speaker 1: People were stepping up big time. Two point two six
Speaker 1: million dollars raised, and this says James Vanderbeek was a
Speaker 1: beloved husband, father, and friend who touched the lives of
Speaker 1: everyone around him. After a long and courageous battle with cancer,
Speaker 1: James passed away on February eleventh, twenty twenty six, leaving
Speaker 1: behind his devoted wife, Kimberly, and their six wonderful children.
Speaker 1: Throughout his illness, the family faced not only emotional challenges,
Speaker 1: but also significant financial stream Even him the guy was
Speaker 1: on a one of the most popular TV shows of
Speaker 1: the nineties, and he was a movie star, James Vanderbeek
Speaker 1: was still struggling financially because he was trying to stay
Speaker 1: alive and provide for his medical care. In the wake
Speaker 1: of his loss, Kimberly and the children are facing an
Speaker 1: uncertain future the cost of james medical care and the
Speaker 1: extended fight against cancer. I've left the family out of money.
Speaker 1: They're working hard to stay in their home and to
Speaker 1: ensure the children can continue their education and maintain some
Speaker 1: stability during this incredibly difficult time. The support of friends,
Speaker 1: family in a water community will make a world of
Speaker 1: difference as they navigate the road ahead, and people have
Speaker 1: been generous as they asked them to. The family. Now
Speaker 1: is two point twenty six million dollars Now, before I
Speaker 1: get to the things they want you to be looking
Speaker 1: out for so you don't end up with colo rectal
Speaker 1: cancer dying at forty eight, I want to tell you again,
Speaker 1: and I'll keep saying this until I'm absolutely blue, perhaps green,
Speaker 1: maybe even black in the face at some point in time.
Speaker 1: Oh buddy, that's career ending. I will say this because
Speaker 1: it's true. I will start with the thing that people
Speaker 1: don't like to say. The thing that people don't like
Speaker 1: to say is that the United States healthcare system is
Speaker 1: literally measurably the best in the world. Our healthcare professionals
Speaker 1: are literally measurably the best in the world. Our doctors,
Speaker 1: our nurses, our healthcare frontline workers, people who work in
Speaker 1: every facet of medicine in this country are the best
Speaker 1: of the best. It's a thing that makes America great
Speaker 1: is that our healthcare in this country is phenomenal, but
Speaker 1: our insurance is garbage. We have half of it and
Speaker 1: the other half we've got a big giant goose egg.
Speaker 1: When a celebrity like this can end up needing a
Speaker 1: go fund Me, I mean, it's great that the family's
Speaker 1: getting money, but I care about the poor people who
Speaker 1: end up like this. The people who aren't James vanderbeekon
Speaker 1: aren't athletes or or Hollywood stars. Those are the people
Speaker 1: I care about who get bankrupted by this stuff all
Speaker 1: the time, because our health insurance set up in the
Speaker 1: United States of America is a catastrophe for them financially.
Speaker 3: The majority don't even get any health care, any care
Speaker 3: for their health because they are already scared of what
Speaker 3: that cost is going to be bring their family through it.
Speaker 3: James vanderbeek had a long, hard battle and that included
Speaker 3: treatment for years now. There are who don't even go
Speaker 3: through that first round because they cannot afford it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean for me, I'm glad this is happening.
Speaker 1: For his family, I hate what happened to them with
Speaker 1: him dying, But I care more than I care about celebrities.
Speaker 1: I care about poor people in the United States of America,
Speaker 1: lower income people, people working hard, just people struggling who
Speaker 1: get involved in these same things and don't have the
Speaker 1: resources to get two point two mil in a GoFundMe.
Speaker 1: We've got a problem. We've got a problem there for sure.
Speaker 1: Look out for these things. If you have any kind
Speaker 1: of unintentional weight loss, fatigue, that you're feeling, cramping, or
Speaker 1: abdominal p blood in the stool. The American Cancer Society
Speaker 1: says those are the common early symptoms of colo rectal cancer.
Speaker 1: That's what took James Vanderbeek got at forty eight years old.

Speaker 1: Don't miss the voco.
Speaker 3: Mortgage guy down dot com. It was twenty eight years ago,
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight. This group right here, wait for it.
Speaker 3: The Eagles is right and it was on this day,
Speaker 3: bold bold move on the Eagles part that they sued
Speaker 3: the National Foundation to protect America's Eagles, claiming the organization
Speaker 3: in fringe on the band's name and image. Don Henley
Speaker 3: and his poorly disguised corporate greed machine lost and the
Speaker 3: Eagles they projected by the National Foundation. But good on them.
Speaker 3: It's what's worse what they tried to do or when
Speaker 3: Kiss tried to trademark the devil Horns take.
Speaker 2: I think the Eagles thing is a little more egregious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but people did go after kiss for the death
Speaker 1: metal thing because that's like that it is just such
Speaker 1: a universal thing that I love you Alrue.
Speaker 4: Garth Brooks and orang fighting over the lowercase G was
Speaker 4: a little good.
Speaker 3: And then doctor dre versus the Gynecologist Doctor dre That
Speaker 3: was another one more recently.
Speaker 2: Still haven't chosen my favorite of those two, but sometimes.
Speaker 3: This is a favorite for me. But a real quick question,
Speaker 3: can I borrow four thousand dollars?
Speaker 2: Okay? For what? What's?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: Is this completely unrelated but very exciting bush costume on
Speaker 3: the web?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but one of the real ones from the halftime.
Speaker 3: Go eBay, go eBay.
Speaker 1: Go eBay. The only thing I know about it is
Speaker 1: that they were pretty heavy.
Speaker 3: I heard, yes, let me I just I just forty pounds.
Speaker 2: Forty pounds okay, yep.
Speaker 3: Costume weighed forty pounds, required wearing safety goggles to protect
Speaker 3: against the faux foliage.
Speaker 1: Do you think we're too far away from Halloween? Though,
Speaker 1: like by Halloween when people still know the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: halftime bushes?
Speaker 3: I think so, Oh, this is a big announcement, so
Speaker 3: I hope so. But one of the one of the
Speaker 3: dancers who got paid and I remember also underlining this
Speaker 3: one three hundred and nine dollars approximately eighteen seventy an
Speaker 3: hour for seventy hours of labor. Is putting up the
Speaker 3: bush costume on Go Ebey. The seller says it comes
Speaker 3: with a green uh ba laklava, shoulder harness, sweatsuit, gloves,
Speaker 3: grass bunny prop arms, the in ear radio that the
Speaker 3: performers had to wear.
Speaker 11: Cool.
Speaker 3: What Super Bowl sixty tote bag? Why did they get
Speaker 3: to keep the in your radio?
Speaker 1: Yeah, weren't they supposed to return all?
Speaker 2: This sounds stolen?
Speaker 3: Well, it could be your stolen for five thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: I only asked for four thousand.
Speaker 3: I want your note. I'm going to do the other
Speaker 3: thousand from my parents. And the cellar wasted no time
Speaker 3: listening to costume. It was put up just a few
Speaker 3: hours after the.
Speaker 6: Game had ended.
Speaker 3: Any word on where we're at, because I imagine buy it
Speaker 3: now five thousand, but people have the option auction.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is very this is very saus This entire radio
Speaker 1: is a good deal. I mean that is a good deal,
Speaker 1: but it feels like they're not supposed to have it to.
Speaker 3: Begin with yeah, Well, we're living in a time where
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to do things. But here we are
Speaker 3: American Idol, and the headline reads as such, I'm listening
Speaker 3: lead singer of this group right here.
Speaker 1: Oh it's not bad, it's good company.
Speaker 3: Yes, great white singer. Yeah, this is great white.
Speaker 1: What is it once bitten twice shy or something?
Speaker 6: Yes, that is great.
Speaker 3: And the singer Brett Carlisle is advancing to the Hollywood
Speaker 3: round of American Idol after wowing judges with his audition.
Speaker 2: Did not know who he was.
Speaker 1: The guy for the eighties on American Idol, mind you.
Speaker 2: This is there was an age limit for American Idol.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a current front man. I will say, I'm
Speaker 3: guessing lead singer.
Speaker 1: Original I thought it was for amateurs, not people in rock.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess Now we're just changing the rules because you
Speaker 3: know that they did a whole like story backstory. When
Speaker 3: he's not here trying out for American Idol, he's with
Speaker 3: this band.
Speaker 6: That's a video to the group chat.
Speaker 3: But oh really, me Bring, twenty eight years old, is
Speaker 3: the current front man for the long running hard rock
Speaker 3: He's but he's the current front man for the hard
Speaker 3: rock long running group getting paid as musician.
Speaker 6: Why are you auditioning for America?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This is not an amateur at all.
Speaker 3: Wow, the judgess.

Speaker 11: band Great White.

Speaker 1: Lissa.
Speaker 3: Is that the guitarist for Great White?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure?
Speaker 3: Is that the pianist for Great White as well?
Speaker 1: I didn't hear here of the like the intro, they
Speaker 1: didn't say like this is who is playing with him?

Speaker 1: with this Week in Florida that's coming up next in
Speaker 1: the news Junkie.
Speaker 2: The time has arrived.
Speaker 1: It's that time of week friends, where our friend Christopher
Speaker 1: Dolores Lane takes us through all of the well, I mean,
Speaker 1: the Florida stories that were in the news that week.
Speaker 1: Come hell or high water, Florida tends to stick out
Speaker 1: in the news and we'll see how today goes.
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Sea Lane and just tends to stick out anyway on
Speaker 1: a map, just kind of tricks out.
Speaker 2: You know, it dangles down there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although it was cold, so maybe the dangling has shrunk.
Speaker 2: I've not checked the live maps. But are you ready?
Speaker 1: Water was cold?
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Here we go.
Speaker 2: Let's do this Week in Florida.
Speaker 1: We're giving you a recap of the most grown worthy
Speaker 1: stories in the state. It's this Week in Florida.
Speaker 2: That's right, the weekend is here.
Speaker 4: It's time to take a tripper on the Sunshine State
Speaker 4: and see some of the craziness that has gone on
Speaker 4: in the past seven days or so. And this one
Speaker 4: is a story I find to be just slightly hilarious.
Speaker 4: But I think this probably happens more often than we'd know.
Speaker 4: And even though it shouldn't, this is very not so good.
Speaker 4: But this guy, Kevin Charles Luke. He is a former
Speaker 4: Army colonel at McDill Air Force Base. They say for
Speaker 4: almost four decades, he lived a life of service and
Speaker 4: sacrificed the United States. Sixty two years old, he spent
Speaker 4: thirty seven years in the Army before he retired in
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen with the rank of colonel. Thereafter, he continued
Speaker 4: to work as a civilian military contractor, which gave him
Speaker 4: the top secret security clearance that he had before as
Speaker 4: the colonel. And with the top secret clearance, you get
Speaker 4: access to top secret files. Yeah, and it turns out
Speaker 4: the former colonel like to send those files to girls
Speaker 4: he was flirting with online.
Speaker 6: Oh, I mean, that's one way to find a mate.
Speaker 4: It was an ill conceived effort to impress a woman
Speaker 4: that precipitated the former colonel's remarkable downfall. On Tuesday, federal
Speaker 4: judge sentence looped to two years in prison, less than
Speaker 4: the three or four recommended for sharing classified battle plans
Speaker 4: with a woman he was dating.
Speaker 1: Why did she care? Why is this woman like show
Speaker 1: me the classified battle player?
Speaker 6: He dropped it as a line.
Speaker 2: I don't think she asked for it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was something that was said to me.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, yeah, sure immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could either share with you a D pic
Speaker 1: or I have some classes.
Speaker 4: This is unsolicited battle plans B pick maybe. In October
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four, Luke met a woman online who
Speaker 4: was not in the military. According to court records, he
Speaker 4: began talking with her by email old on.
Speaker 2: October first, he sent her a text.
Speaker 4: Message with an accompanying photo through his personal cell phone.
Speaker 4: He put sent to my boss earlier, gives you a
Speaker 4: peek at what I do for a living.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it was bragging. Huh.
Speaker 4: The photos showed a computer screen to play, displaying a
Speaker 4: classified email message. According to court records, the message discussed
Speaker 4: was described as a then future US military operation, including
Speaker 4: details about the date of the operation, the number of
Speaker 4: targets in the operation, and the battle plans authored by Luke.
Speaker 2: The message boar markings that read.
Speaker 4: In all caps secret slash slash ral to USA COMMA
Speaker 4: f V E Y that meant the emails contents could
Speaker 4: only be seen by an authorized personnel. In what's known
Speaker 4: as the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance. Those five eyes are
Speaker 4: the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. He is
Speaker 4: going to spend two years in prison for showing off
Speaker 4: his classified documents.
Speaker 1: What an idiot, Jesus.
Speaker 2: And like I've said before, probably would do the same thing.
Speaker 2: If I had some classified documents.
Speaker 3: You can't see it.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to text them.
Speaker 4: You know, there's not going to be a paper trail here.
Speaker 4: But you know you're in the car glove compartment. Open
Speaker 4: and check out the closet on documents. Don't take any pictures.
Speaker 1: What a trader you are. For God's sake, this is
Speaker 1: traitorous behavior.
Speaker 4: I would it would be like a mundane classified document,
Speaker 4: like it's classified, but it's a memo about cleaning up
Speaker 4: after yourself in the in the employee kitchen or something, not.
Speaker 2: Battle plans. When you think I'm some sort of.
Speaker 1: Thanks patriot, Hey hold on, let's be real. Our company
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio that pays the bills around here, there's no secret
Speaker 1: documents that we can get our hands on. We we
Speaker 1: have iHeart Radio secrets. We hold some secrets here, but
Speaker 1: we don't have like some files with some top secret
Speaker 1: stuff that we're keeping away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speak for yourself.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys have top secret documents that
Speaker 1: I don't over there, unbelievable.
Speaker 4: I do have a top secret document that what's that
Speaker 4: I hold just for myself?
Speaker 1: What's a Let me see that? Please?
Speaker 2: You've seen it?
Speaker 4: Over to call your county where there happens a little bit.
Speaker 2: You just said you I just said you've seen it.
Speaker 1: Damn it, I didn't think it out all right, Go
Speaker 1: ahead if.
Speaker 2: You were in call your county.
Speaker 4: They're having a little bit of a problem at ave
Speaker 4: Maria University, which now has I would call this an
Speaker 4: outbreak fifty seven cases of measle. Measles sounds like an outbreak,
Speaker 4: woo per the Wednesday update alve Maria University and have
Speaker 4: assessed seven students who have presented rashes, bringing the total
Speaker 4: number of cases to fifty seven. For someone who's never
Speaker 4: been vaccinated, they say, if you're in a room with
Speaker 4: someone with measles, there's over a ninety percent chance you
Speaker 4: will contract measles, just airborne or just being in.
Speaker 2: The room with them.
Speaker 4: Measles highly contagious, causes symptoms similar to those of the
Speaker 4: common cold, including red, swollen eyes, a running nose, cough,
Speaker 4: and a rash, So stay away from the kids at
Speaker 4: Ave Maria. If you ever wonder what they do with
Speaker 4: all that drug money that they confiscate when they make
Speaker 4: the big busts, you know, what do you do?
Speaker 2: They just leave the drug money in the locker? What
Speaker 2: are you doing with it?
Speaker 4: Well, in Orange County they have an answer, and that
Speaker 4: answer is free ice cream, free ice cream for the people.
Speaker 4: The Orange County Sheriff's Office has a new and very
Speaker 4: unique vehicle in its fleet. The Sheriff's office posted on
Speaker 4: x that it purchased with drug money an ice cream truck,
Speaker 4: and I have seen it, and the ice cream truck
Speaker 4: is decorated in stickers that say this was purchased with
Speaker 4: drug money, which this seems kind of weird.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I have this. If you want to
Speaker 2: see this real quick?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This is the They did like a promo for it.
Speaker 10: This is our brand new Orange Chinese Sheriff's Office ice
Speaker 10: cream truck.
Speaker 1: It says this ice cream truck was purchased with money
Speaker 1: sees from drug dealers.
Speaker 2: With three.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take this truck around and we're going to
Speaker 1: visit some of our neighborhoods and give out. Is it free? Yes,
Speaker 1: And that's all in an effort to better engage with
Speaker 1: our youth. Okay, I don't hate the idea. I mean
Speaker 1: that seems nice.
Speaker 2: I don't hate the idea.
Speaker 4: It's a I mean, I'm sure there were some bills
Speaker 4: they could have paid with that money. But it's something
Speaker 4: nice and something fun and just I think it teaches
Speaker 4: the lesson the drugs can be good.
Speaker 1: Well, it also teaches the kids like, hey, not every
Speaker 1: interaction with cops has got to be bad. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: here's the cops coming through with some ice cream for you.
Speaker 1: This seems good.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get some free ice cream. High out
Speaker 3: of mindments.
Speaker 4: Seeing as though cool just just that cool about we're
Speaker 4: teaching all the kids not to take ice cream from strangers,
Speaker 4: but if they have a badge on, it's okay.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good thing.
Speaker 4: You might be getting some free ice cream if they
Speaker 4: come to a neighborhood near you. A man speaking of
Speaker 4: the police in Cape Coral, they're really doing the work.
Speaker 4: They're putting the criminals behind bars.

Speaker 1: you to Sea Lane, because I completely forgot about this,
Speaker 1: even though I teased it coming up a little while ago.
Speaker 1: I forgot about the mailbox money. I try my best
Speaker 1: when everything's teased on the show to get it in
Speaker 1: on the next segment, or at least that day, because
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the stuff escapes me. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: mailbox money out there. We've been doing this for years
Speaker 1: and years. On the show. You just heard Sabrina and
Speaker 1: Celian saying they literally got paid from I think it
Speaker 1: was an Apple mailbox money settlement.
Speaker 2: It was something about Siria listening to you or.
Speaker 1: Something, yeah, which we said was happening forever, and they
Speaker 1: said was not happening forever. But you guys got the proof.
Speaker 1: The proof is in the pudding. You got forty dollars
Speaker 1: I think or something cents, thinking forty dollars and ten
Speaker 1: cents to Sabrina and Cealan on that one. So many
Speaker 1: of you have made money from these different class actions
Speaker 1: that we've talked about and programs that we've talked about.
Speaker 1: Mailbox money ways for you to get free money is
Speaker 1: always something we bring up whenever we can on the show.
Speaker 1: In fact, some guy one time said, hey, I listened
Speaker 1: to a program you talked about and he ended up
Speaker 1: getting like fifty thousand dollars from one of them. So
Speaker 1: this is not as much, but you may qualify for
Speaker 1: up to five thousand dollars for this and I earlier
Speaker 1: when I tease this, I tried to determine whether or
Speaker 1: not Selane and Sabrina have been to this place, have
Speaker 1: been to this place, or went to this place in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four at some point in time. It's a
Speaker 1: very popular restaurant nationwide, nationwide, without a doubt, fast casual.
Speaker 2: Not one of the.
Speaker 1: Regulars that you think of, you'r McDonald's, your subway, Those
Speaker 1: aren't fast casual. Yeah, not one of those away maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this this one that says at least
Speaker 1: in the article I'm looking at, Celan says fast casual.
Speaker 1: But did either of you, at any point in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, as far as you know, spend any money
Speaker 1: at Panda Express brees Ken, Uh, yes, I think well.
Speaker 2: I think it might. It might.
Speaker 1: Let me bring up this story here, because if if
Speaker 1: you went to Panda Express in twenty twenty four, you
Speaker 1: may qualify for up to five thousand dollars in mailbox.
Speaker 3: Money hause you got cancer.

Speaker 1: to pay two point four to five million dollars as
Speaker 1: part of a class action lawsuit settlements. And I'll give
Speaker 1: you the web address on this. In a second, Panda
Speaker 1: Restaurant Group agreed to the settlement to resolve claims around
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty four data breach shaw Yet I know
Speaker 1: the one of those anybody who received the data breach
Speaker 1: notification letter. This was in twenty twenty four. Let's scroll
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Panda failed to prevent the breach.
Speaker 4: The compromise customer information such as social security numbers. Why
Speaker 4: do the Panda Express have their customer social security numbers?
Speaker 2: Maybe from their app? They have a great app.
Speaker 6: Put in a social security number in an app?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that I have either. We use

Speaker 1: get to play little games. There's a couple of games
Speaker 1: each week you get to play and you can get

Speaker 1: so weird and the sheriff's the locals are so weird
Speaker 1: in Pima County and how they've been handling this gigantic case.
Speaker 1: They said, literally they were not doing one on one interviews,
Speaker 1: and now he's done one with Fox News Channel. Chris Nanos,
Speaker 1: the Pema County sheriff, tells Fox that his office did not,
Speaker 1: in fact find a glove at Nancy Guthrie's home. He says,
Speaker 1: we have no glove. We never found a glove on that.
Speaker 3: Pro it was a picture of glove.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 1: One glove that was found a mile or so away
Speaker 1: near a neighbor's house. And then afterwards they said, oh,
Speaker 1: we found a second glove on Nancy Guthrie's property. And
Speaker 1: that story's been out there for the last forty eight
Speaker 1: hours or so, and now the Sheriff's like, Nope, we
Speaker 1: didn't find.
Speaker 2: Any glove on that property.
Speaker 1: He says his office has been using the same contracted
Speaker 1: private lab for decades, long before he was in office.
Speaker 1: He says his office started sending the Guthrie evidence to
Speaker 1: his lab from the start, and that the Guthrie family
Speaker 1: DNA and other DNA swabs are there too, so it
Speaker 1: makes sense to keep sending stuff there. But he says
Speaker 1: the FBI says that they're not working well together.
Speaker 2: He says, we are working well together.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're talking about on the ransom
Speaker 1: notes and the legitimacy. He says, the FBI is the
Speaker 1: expert on that subject. The sheriff cannot comment what else
Speaker 1: on whether this is a kidnapping or something else. He said,
Speaker 1: we believe it's a kidnapping, but you always consider other possibilities.
Speaker 1: They said they found a few different gloves possibilities, some.
Speaker 2: Of them miles away. They have not said. Nano says.
Speaker 1: The Rio Rico, Arizona man who was briefly detained the
Speaker 1: other night is a delivery person who was in the
Speaker 1: area of Nancy Guthrie's house. More than one issue led.
Speaker 2: The sheriff to this guy.
Speaker 1: After talking, he believes he had nothing to do with this,
Speaker 1: but they said, like he was in the neighborhood, in
Speaker 1: the area.
Speaker 4: You just scrolled past something I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 4: They said that the the DNA that they found in
Speaker 4: the home, they can't they can confirm it's Nancy's, but
Speaker 4: they can't confirm that it's blood.
Speaker 1: That seems weird, he.
Speaker 2: Guys, says.
Speaker 1: Nanos says, Nancy's blood was found outside her home and
Speaker 1: Nancy's DNA was recovered inside, but he can't confirm the
Speaker 1: DNA inside is blood. So whatever the DNA was recovered
Speaker 1: from inside was maybe not blood, it might have been
Speaker 1: something else. On the allegations that family members are involved,
Speaker 1: the family has been fully, one hundred percent completely whatever
Speaker 1: we've asked for, they've done, They've been on board with this,
Speaker 1: he said.
Speaker 2: And he said the situation with.
Speaker 1: The FBI is is being blown out of proportion, But
Speaker 1: the FBI says no, the local yokels are Keystone cops
Speaker 1: and they've screwed up this investigation from the beginning. The
Speaker 1: whole thing's a media circus and a disaster now and
Speaker 1: we don't know where the hell this eighty four year
Speaker 1: old woman is or if she's even alive. Let us
Speaker 1: know what you think. Go to the news Junkie dot
Speaker 1: com and record your first dispatch right now, quick break
Speaker 1: and do we have actually we have some more time.
Speaker 1: I can keep going, right because we just walked in
Speaker 1: a weekend seconds all keep going here. Let's go to
Speaker 1: a couple of your emails tips at the news Junkie
Speaker 1: dot com and Chris emails the show. Hey Sean, Hey
Speaker 1: sea Lane, Hey savvy. He says he's a v v
Speaker 1: y everyone that that you tagged Sea Lane in that
Speaker 1: he got another version of Sea Lane on the Internet
Speaker 1: that I hadn't seen before.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, what was that?
Speaker 2: Was that?
Speaker 1: The other day? A l y n so see Lane?
Speaker 1: Was that the show?
Speaker 2: Was that the caption on that video?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I miss it and that's my bad. But
Speaker 3: I thought it was a very creative spelling. I've seen
Speaker 3: cleave and s E E l A N.
Speaker 1: E C record it's C dash l A n E
Speaker 1: see lane all right, ce dash Lane.
Speaker 2: His last name is Lane.
Speaker 1: His name is Chris Sea Lane. But he gets ceiling
Speaker 1: as in the roof. Celene is what this emailer said, ceiling.
Speaker 1: Lots of different options, and Sabrina has turned from savvy,
Speaker 1: which is a nickname people use, but savvy savvy, So
Speaker 1: hey Sean, Hey Celine or Celene and hey savvy. You
Speaker 1: guys were just talking about the Ring app and they
Speaker 1: did the same thing to me. There was a suspicious
Speaker 1: guy walking around knocking on people's doors pretending to sell stuff,
Speaker 1: and when I posted the picture on Ring, they took
Speaker 1: it down. They sent me a message saying you can't
Speaker 1: label people just by the way they look. And the
Speaker 1: guy wound up getting in trouble for doing something in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. They're probably worried about their you know, lawsuits
Speaker 1: and stuff and coming. They've got some issues there.
Speaker 4: I'm sure they keep releasing new videos of persons of
Speaker 4: interest in the Nancy Guthrie case and they're blurring out
Speaker 4: the faces and for the life of me, is Is
Speaker 4: it because it wasn't on her property that you feel like,
Speaker 4: I mean, how are people going to identify a person
Speaker 4: that they're looking for if you blur the face?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a good question. And to add
Speaker 1: to that, the guy who was featured in the video
Speaker 1: where he was rooting around somebody's recycle bins go over
Speaker 1: the fence with Yeah, the guy with the multiple backpacks.
Speaker 1: That guy has allegedly been cleared. They said that that
Speaker 1: guy was not related to this. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But there's a new one today, and there's that one
Speaker 4: out too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, this is the new one. Sabrita sent this
Speaker 1: over earlier, says Nancy Guthrie. Law enforcement absolutely looking at
Speaker 1: new suspicious video. Here's the video. This is from a
Speaker 1: house about six miles away. It's a guy on their
Speaker 1: balcony moving around in this house on the front porch.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I didn't even say balcony, the front porch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, TMC has access to it.
Speaker 1: He's kind of awkwardly moving around, his faces blurred out.
Speaker 1: He sees the camera and tries to cover up the camera.
Speaker 1: Very short video, but that's the only one that happened.
Speaker 1: The bell he's kind of like back it up to
Speaker 1: it for some reason.
Speaker 2: It was sort of weird.
Speaker 1: That was from January twenty third, and TMZ got it
Speaker 1: off the Rings Ring Neighbors app somebody had posted back
Speaker 1: on En twenty thirty.
Speaker 4: Oh, so it's basically like these different people who have
Speaker 4: dispatched and emailed in have talked about where they say
Speaker 4: something suspicious, but this one didn't get pulled off the
Speaker 4: Ring Neighbors.
Speaker 1: Ab I guess, although this was six point five miles
Speaker 1: from where Savannah Guthrie's mother lives. So I mean, there's
Speaker 1: really high chance that this just happened to be some
Speaker 1: other weird thing. That app is just full of reports
Speaker 1: like this and very likely not connected. But law enforcement
Speaker 1: says they're looking into it, they're treating as a potential lead,
Speaker 1: they're checking it out, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: So there we go. Two more emails real quick.
Speaker 1: Here's Anonymous talking about the same topic regarding the Ring
Speaker 1: doorbell cameras and similar devices in the movie Shelter starring
Speaker 1: Jason Statham. The government of where this movie was located
Speaker 1: has software to search all cameras and locate people. It's
Speaker 1: kind of scary to see how far it goes. It's
Speaker 1: an excellent movie, says Anonymous.
Speaker 2: It it It is scary to.
Speaker 1: Think about all of this stuff, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it's that far fetched anymore.
Speaker 4: Isn't that the whole thing with the who's the guy
Speaker 4: that was in exile right now? The WikiLeaks?
Speaker 1: Dude? Oh, Juliana Sange, who's the other one? Yeah, Edward Snowden.
Speaker 4: It wasn't the whole thing, like the movie about Edward
Speaker 4: Snowden's whole journey and that thing, like, didn't they have
Speaker 4: he was exposing like some software system that could open
Speaker 4: anybody's cameras.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of top secret spy programs
Speaker 1: that Edward Snowden was highlighting. He was a FBI contractor
Speaker 1: I think in like Hawaii or something. I hope I'm
Speaker 1: not getting that wrong. And then he fled to Russia
Speaker 1: after leaking all these internal documents about evesdropping from the
Speaker 1: government and then got out of here. And things have
Speaker 1: gotten way worse since then. Whatever he he was talking
Speaker 1: about is gone. Now you've got companies like poll Andeer
Speaker 1: and others who are working with the government to scan
Speaker 1: everybody's face and be able to take people's pictures and
Speaker 1: compare it to this massive database access cameras everywhere. It's
Speaker 1: just crazy. One more on that front, Misty emails tips
Speaker 1: at the news junki dot com. The cameras are similar
Speaker 1: to how cable was back in the day. The channels
Speaker 1: you didn't subscribe to are still there, but scrambled because
Speaker 1: they couldn't remove them individually from each account. The cameras
Speaker 1: have to record because they can't separate it. But if
Speaker 1: they're going to save everything in the cloud, they should
Speaker 1: figure out a way to scramble the footage for those
Speaker 1: who don't have a subscription, just like the cable company,
Speaker 1: but in reverse, says Misty, it didn't have to work
Speaker 1: like that. If it was on their servers, it should
Speaker 1: just not send any information to their service if you're
Speaker 1: not a subscriber. If you are a subscriber, it should
Speaker 1: send information to their service, which gives you the backup
Speaker 1: that you're looking for. In this case, I'm thankful that
Speaker 1: they did because they got this security footage from Nancy
Speaker 1: Guthrie's house of the alleged abductor. But it doesn't work
Speaker 1: like cable does. It's very different. It could totally just
Speaker 1: be that you have your own app. You have your
Speaker 1: camera that have to watch them live and that's it.
Speaker 2: But it has to send the video for you to
Speaker 2: be able to watch them live.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I guess you're right. It's where you're channel from.
Speaker 1: It has to route through their service, but it does
Speaker 1: not have to be stored on their servers, or it
Speaker 1: could be so temporarily stored on their service that it
Speaker 1: would not be available ten days later, as I think
Speaker 1: it was in this case. But it's not like cable.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like the cable company scrambling stuff. Anyways,
Speaker 1: thanks for the email, Misty. I appreciate that. Quick break.
Speaker 1: Let me come back. Jury Duty is on the way.
Speaker 1: In Jury Duty, I'll give you that update I promised
Speaker 1: you on the other teenager that we said was missing
Speaker 1: during the show and this neighborhood in Los Angeles that
Speaker 1: has done the unthinkable. What if this happens in your neighborhood?
Speaker 1: What is the really loud sound that they're going to
Speaker 1: be hearing soon?
Speaker 7: That's coming up next on the news junk Key.
Speaker 1: One of the craziest things that's still going on is
Speaker 1: with all these updates in the Nancy Guthrie story, which
Speaker 1: are just like you know, seemingly unending. One thing that
Speaker 1: nobody's talking about is I never considered that if you
Speaker 1: go missing for two weeks, everything at your house just
Speaker 1: keeps going. It's the most bizarre thing. Savannah Guthrie from
Speaker 1: the Today Show. Her mother has been gone for two weeks. Basically,
Speaker 1: we don't know if the eighty four year old is
Speaker 1: dead or alive, but everything just keeps going.
Speaker 2: It keeps going at her house.
Speaker 1: We've seen Amazon delivery drivers still delivering packages at this
Speaker 1: woman's house. There is somebody peeking into the backyard just
Speaker 1: moments ago. Look at this. The pool cleaner has arrived
Speaker 1: and is cleaning Nancy Guthrie's pool in your backyard. She's
Speaker 1: not there. She's been missing for two weeks. But the
Speaker 1: all of this just like continues around these areas, despite
Speaker 1: the fact that somebody is nowhere to be found.
Speaker 3: I thought I had read that the police had called
Speaker 3: them in the pool people, and maybe it was just
Speaker 3: they had to escort them in.
Speaker 1: I suppose, oh yeah, maybe once they got there. But
Speaker 1: it's like, why are they still I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: they still want the pool to be clean.
Speaker 4: It's so weird to Nancy got three and I'm rescued. Eventually,
Speaker 4: I'd like to come home and.
Speaker 2: Have a dip.
Speaker 1: I mean, this house has gaggles of media outlets outside
Speaker 1: and across the street. They have pizza deliveries still showing up.
Speaker 1: They have the local YOKL cops there with Sheriff Nano,
Speaker 1: who doesn't seem to know what the hell he's doing.
Speaker 1: The Feds are everywhere in the neighborhood. They got neighbors
Speaker 1: coming over with flowers because they're sweet, save for the
Speaker 1: one neighbor who hates everything that's going on and keeps
Speaker 1: telling the cops to leave. It's a whole media circus.
Speaker 1: It's a media circus, and it's just unbelievable to watch.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine?
Speaker 4: And I know this is gonna more the more days
Speaker 4: roll by, the more this seems like a long shot.
Speaker 4: They get they find Nancy Guthrie alive. She goes home,
Speaker 4: and then you know, when she's kind of flipping through everything,
Speaker 4: maybe they're showing her some stories, some of the stuff
Speaker 4: that happened. She finds out that her neighbor has been
Speaker 4: yelling at the cops, telling him to go away, bitch.
Speaker 1: Like, how dare you? Everybody in the world united, all
Speaker 1: of these people came together and they all said, hey, look,
Speaker 1: this isn't a political story. It's a story of intrigue.
Speaker 1: It's a story of mystery. It's a story with twists
Speaker 1: and turns. What happened in Nancy Guthrie. It's enthralled the
Speaker 1: nation and everybody's interested except for that one evil bitch
Speaker 1: of a neighbor that that woman would be crazy.
Speaker 3: And then Nest reaches out like, hey, I'm gonna favor
Speaker 3: that subscription now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, yeah, os just a little bit.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what's happening out there in courtrooms
Speaker 1: all around the world.
Speaker 2: Let's do this. Here's jury duty.
Speaker 8: Court is now in session, So put your phone down
Speaker 8: and pay attention before we call the bailiff over to
Speaker 8: whip your ass.
Speaker 1: You're knowing jury duty with the News Junkie. Jury Duty
Speaker 1: brought to you by the one the only mode wit
Speaker 1: of the DeWit Law Firm. Injured on the go, just
Speaker 1: call MO eight hundred, CALLMO eight hundred, CALLMO, or go
Speaker 1: to just CALLMO dot com. After an accident, reach out
Speaker 1: to the attorney that's going to help you battle those
Speaker 1: big billionaire, greedy insurance companies. You've heard them here on
Speaker 1: the show. Now give them a call after the accident
Speaker 1: eight hundred CALLMO or go to just call Moo dot com.
Speaker 1: This is a story about a home in LA and
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this happening before. But you know,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk about not just the
Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie thing. People are still talking about ice. Although
Speaker 1: you've had ice move out largely of Minneapolis, move on
Speaker 1: to areas where they think they might get more cooperation
Speaker 1: from local law enforcement. Seems like the temperature is turned
Speaker 1: down just a bit on that. I'm seeing less of
Speaker 1: the ladies at the yoga studios screaming at the employees.
Speaker 1: You know, what your opinion, what's your stance? And it's
Speaker 1: like I see less of say it forced to take
Speaker 1: a stance on all of this stuff. But now I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this before. And La neighborhood is
Speaker 1: installing sirens in the neighborhood to warn residents about the
Speaker 1: Feds coming in with ice.
Speaker 3: Oh well, did you see how they responded at the whistles.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. Yeah, I didn't even know that
Speaker 1: you could do this. But hang on. Here's the story
Speaker 1: from KTLA Let's see if they show them testing this,
Speaker 1: because I'd love to know what this sounds like. What
Speaker 1: if so what if I'm in the neighborhood and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I kind of want some of these people, especially if
Speaker 1: they are criminal offenders, want them removed from the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: and like somehow instead of that, we're installing sirens. Is
Speaker 1: everybody on board with this, Let's tune in. Here's KTLS
Speaker 1: says of.
Speaker 12: A Highland Park community are coming together to create a
Speaker 12: system that would protect their neighbors.
Speaker 3: From federal immigrations vice alarm.
Speaker 12: The group is working to install warning sirens that would
Speaker 12: alert the community of federal agents in the area. Kjla's
Speaker 12: Alino Bovian is live in Highland Park with more on
Speaker 12: that effort.
Speaker 3: Hileena, Hi, the guys.
Speaker 12: Well, these small sirens. They plan to have them up
Speaker 12: on private property, so either businesses or residential businesses, and
Speaker 12: they say they're hoping to get it done later this month.
Speaker 1: I want to hear it though. Oh there it is.
Speaker 6: A grassroots efforts.
Speaker 1: Siren. This siren is not the biggest most impressive siren
Speaker 1: I've ever.
Speaker 2: Since siren are an air compressor.
Speaker 3: I think dogs from around the neighborhood will come.
Speaker 1: It's like the neighborhood activists are going to have little
Speaker 1: tiny sirens that they plug in and alert the neighbors
Speaker 1: who probably aren't there illegally at all.
Speaker 4: I think Sabrina has a megaphone with a louder siren.
Speaker 1: This. Don't let me go back here here, Here is
Speaker 1: the demonstration of the siren. That's it.
Speaker 12: Crow streets effort led by residents. I'm community activists is
Speaker 12: working tins.
Speaker 2: I don't even mind it.
Speaker 12: Syrons across this Highland Park neighborhood designed to alert people
Speaker 12: when federal immigration agents are spotted your bond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is more just to make you
Speaker 1: feel like you're doing something.
Speaker 4: I was imagining like an air raid siren, like a
Speaker 4: siren like we had.
Speaker 1: A story, remember the guy. We had a story of
Speaker 1: this guy installed like sirens on his property and he
Speaker 1: was annoying all the neighbors.
Speaker 2: I was thinking, you know.
Speaker 6: That's for tornadoes. Yeah, can't mix them up.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking something that screeches. And then everybody in
Speaker 1: there was like, Jesus, this is so annoying. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Those were pathetic. I don't even know if you get
Speaker 1: anybody's attention with those, But what do you do if
Speaker 1: that happens in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2: This is literally happening.
Speaker 1: In Los Angeles, where they probably have more people who
Speaker 1: are on their side, if you will, politically. But this
Speaker 1: group has come together and they've got tiny little plugin sirens.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll solve all the problems. It'll all be
Speaker 1: fixed in due time. Let me know what you think.
Speaker 1: Send your dispatch. That's how you join us on the show.
Speaker 1: Record a video or audio dispatch and do that on
Speaker 1: the website. Takes just a moment or two at thenewsjunkie
Speaker 1: dot com. Don't want to do that, but do want
Speaker 1: your voice heard, send an email. If you want to
Speaker 1: be anonymous, put that on top and send the email
Speaker 1: to tips tips at thenewsjunkie dot com. Quick update. Somebody
Speaker 1: said yesterday all the too much of this Guthrie stuff,
Speaker 1: there's too much Guthrie news.
Speaker 2: Who cares about Nancy Guthrie?
Speaker 1: What about this? And they said, there's a story about
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old girl and she's missing out of Ovido.
Speaker 2: Where where is she?
Speaker 1: So? I said the story yesterday, and I said, we'll
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. I said, the reason why
Speaker 1: the Nancy Guthrie story is making headlines is not just
Speaker 1: from the celebrity tie ins, but it's got intrigue and
Speaker 1: twists and turns, and it's a great ongoing story and
Speaker 1: a distraction really in many ways from other things. But
Speaker 1: this story is giving us a bit of an update.
Speaker 1: The FDL says the missing girl fifteen is safe and
Speaker 1: has announced that the missing child alert has been canceled.
Speaker 1: She had it, turns out, just run away with some
Speaker 1: friends and gone to the Tampa area. She is safe,
Speaker 1: good to go and not missing any longer. So you see,
Speaker 1: you know that path was not a very long one,
Speaker 1: and this path has been going on for two weeks
Speaker 1: with twists and turn after twists and turn, and the
Speaker 1: other path very very short one.
Speaker 2: But this is what you can do.
Speaker 1: You guys can always point us to stories that you
Speaker 1: don't believe are getting attention. And the reason why, I
Speaker 1: think that's important Before we take a break here, real
Speaker 1: quick think, think this is important. Story selection bias is
Speaker 1: one of the real things that happens every single day
Speaker 1: in media coverage. This is the only show that you're
Speaker 1: ever going to find where if there's a story that
Speaker 1: you're not hearing any commentary on. Say Sean, what do
Speaker 1: you think about this? And email it to tips at
Speaker 1: the news Junkie dot com. And what's important to you
Speaker 1: is featured right here, So email the show tips at
Speaker 1: the news Junki dot com when me come back. The
Speaker 1: final hour of the show, the Power Hour revs up.
Speaker 1: We'll see what's happening as we wrap up the week.
Speaker 1: And I have the most disturbing little tidbit from a
Speaker 1: television show that is known for its drama, but not
Speaker 1: known for what happened to this person details coming up
Speaker 1: next to the News Junkie.
Speaker 2: Reality TV fan.
Speaker 1: I tease this before the break, so let's talk about it,
Speaker 1: show of hands. I think all of us on the
Speaker 1: show have seen Love is Blind? Right, Yeah, Love is Blind?
Speaker 1: Love is Blind a little bit.
Speaker 3: Nicole watches it actually just started the new season.
Speaker 1: You're at least familiar with what's going on on Love
Speaker 1: is Blind.
Speaker 2: What about you, see.
Speaker 1: Lane, I have observed bits and pieces of it.
Speaker 4: I've never actually, like, really paid attention to Love is Blind.
Speaker 1: I want to watch the next season, and it's because
Speaker 1: there was an accident on the set and in my
Speaker 1: in my estimation. This is going to make for an
Speaker 1: interesting episode of Love is Blind. And here's what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the story here. Love is Blind Season
Speaker 1: ten contestant was removed from the pods and hospitalized after
Speaker 1: mistakenly pouring nail glue. Oh really blind, Erry legitimately blind.
Speaker 1: The incident took place at the end of the new
Speaker 1: season's first episode, and one of these contestants on this show,
Speaker 1: Love is Blind, where you're supposed to meet people in
Speaker 1: this dating environment. Now when they say pods, it's hard
Speaker 1: to explain this, but they go into these like little
Speaker 1: rooms that are completely locked off, and on the other
Speaker 1: side of this screen is somebody else that they can't see,
Speaker 1: and they just talk to them and they fall in
Speaker 1: love with them, hopefully from a conversation. So this woman
Speaker 1: is sitting in the room getting to know this guy
Speaker 1: on the first episode I guess of Love is Blind,
Speaker 1: and she goes, oh God, I need some eye drops,
Speaker 1: And as she's trying to put her eye drops in
Speaker 1: her eye, she realizes she just put nail glue.
Speaker 3: This happens all the time. One, we've talked about this before.
Speaker 8: Two.
Speaker 3: I had a friend in college. We're all about to
Speaker 3: go out to the clerb mm hmm. Super glue in
Speaker 3: the eye thinking it's eye drops.
Speaker 1: That's why they have not.
Speaker 3: Changed the way these bottles look so that there's no confusion.
Speaker 6: Baffles me.
Speaker 1: Stupid question. Is there any difference between nail glue and
Speaker 1: super glue that's worth pointing out? Or is this the
Speaker 1: same thing?
Speaker 2: Probably? Yeah, I don't think you would want to superglue nails.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it's some sort of like this glue is
Speaker 1: a strong glue that would hold something on your fingernail.
Speaker 1: Obviously hold that to your body, and they said. During
Speaker 1: the last few seconds of the first episode of the
Speaker 1: Netflix reality show, Alissa Finley thirty eight was seen running
Speaker 1: into the women's lounge screaming, oh my god, what do
Speaker 1: I do f the.
Speaker 2: F word, before a producer calmed her down.
Speaker 1: I know you're scared right now, we're going to have
Speaker 1: to send you out. This woman, who was a nurse
Speaker 1: in Ohio, had to be removed from the show for
Speaker 1: a bit because she accidentally put nail glue in her eye,
Speaker 1: which she thought it was eye drops. On the show,
Speaker 1: they hooked her up to an iv or. I was flushed.
Speaker 1: I know what that's like, it's miserable. The guy was
Speaker 1: getting the glue out. It was so awful. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I did that. And I guess it's okay. They
Speaker 1: don't say about They said her eye is still hurting,
Speaker 1: but she was determined to return to the show with
Speaker 1: her vision issues. Just brutal. She really loves love. She does.
Speaker 1: She's willing to go all the way for it, I guess.
Speaker 1: But they said that that happened for the next season
Speaker 1: of that show, and that has got to be absolutely rough.
Speaker 1: Hopping along talking during the break with the Schoolmike, the crew,
Speaker 1: the folks who talk with me during commercial breaks on
Speaker 1: the stream on YouTube YouTube dot Com, slash the news Junkie,
Speaker 1: and I said, is social media addiction real? And I
Speaker 1: think most people think that it is. I think most
Speaker 1: people think that it is.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: One of the ways to dismiss the idea that social
Speaker 1: media might be addictive, and I'll tell you why we're
Speaker 1: talking about this in a moment, But one of the
Speaker 1: ways to dismiss it might be like, well, just take
Speaker 1: the kid's phone away and there won't be on the internet,
Speaker 1: and now you're not addicted to social media anymore. But
Speaker 1: that doesn't make a thing not an addiction, and quite
Speaker 1: obviously things other than drinking and doing drugs can be addictions.
Speaker 2: I think there are lots of other.
Speaker 1: Things, high risk things and even non high risk things
Speaker 1: that you can get addicted to as a person. For example,
Speaker 1: I think that gambling addiction is real because yeah, people.
Speaker 2: Addicted to gambling and it can get bad. You guys
Speaker 2: have probably seen this kind of stuff too. One hundred percent.
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.
Speaker 1: The gambling addiction could be an issue. But I bring
Speaker 1: this up because Instagram CEO Adam Massari has said this
Speaker 1: week to Congress and in a trial that he's been
Speaker 1: testifying in in fact, that he rejects the notion that
Speaker 1: anybody could be addicted to social media. And they said,
Speaker 1: what about these people, these young people on your platform,
Speaker 1: these kids who are on Instagram for sixteen hours a day,
Speaker 1: are they not addicted? And he said, no, that's not
Speaker 1: an addiction. And I'm like, if that's not an addiction,
Speaker 1: then an addiction doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: I also don't know how much I will give the
Speaker 3: Instagram ceo credit in the sense of this is his business.
Speaker 6: Of course, he wants people scrolling for sixteen hours.
Speaker 1: Plus, if kids are getting addicted, then he has to
Speaker 1: say you have to stop them from getting addicted, and
Speaker 1: that up ends the business model. Yeah, that ruins everything
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 4: It would be like Jack Daniel saying that alcoholism was fake, right,
Speaker 4: and this in this case is justice silly.
Speaker 1: This story from NBC says Instagram or for the AFP,
Speaker 1: actually says Instagram ceo denies addiction claims and landmark US trial.
Speaker 1: The CEO of Instagram, Adamasiri, rejected the notion that anyone
Speaker 1: could be clinically addicted to social media. What do you think?
Speaker 2: Can you be addicted to social media?
Speaker 1: Yes? Or no? Meta the apparent company of Instagram and
Speaker 1: Facebook and Google owned YouTube are defendants in this trial.
Speaker 1: This could set a legal precedent regarding whether or not
Speaker 1: these platforms were designed to be addictive. How do you
Speaker 1: defend against that? Of course, they're designed to be addictive.
Speaker 1: What's the point of an algorithm? Yeah, explain to me
Speaker 1: an algorithm. If an algorithm is not meant to addict
Speaker 1: people to the platform, you're meant to hold a person's
Speaker 1: attention for as long as possible to keep them on
Speaker 1: your platform. I think it's important to differentiate between clinical
Speaker 1: addiction and problematic use. That's what he says. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that I've been addicted to a Netflix show when I
Speaker 1: binged it really late one night, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it's the same thing as a clinical addiction. Now here's
Speaker 1: the problem. His logic is off course he's saying, and
Speaker 1: this might resonate with some people. I'm sure I've been
Speaker 1: addicted to a Netflix show when I binged it really
Speaker 1: late one night, but that's not the same as being
Speaker 1: clinically addicted to something. Well, you might not be able
Speaker 1: to be addicted to one show, but you certainly could
Speaker 1: be addicted to television if you were spending all day
Speaker 1: every day just watching television. Yes, you could be at
Speaker 1: to it like anything else possibly, And it seems pretty
Speaker 1: clear to me that you could be addicted to the
Speaker 1: Internet or these apps or Instagram that would be the case.
Speaker 3: Are there not some sort of chemical reaction or brain
Speaker 3: activity reaction that that determines someone who is addicted to something.
Speaker 6: Versus so problematic usage?
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: Interviewing the CEO, let's get taken to the science.
Speaker 1: Let me ask Tjai not really science, but close to it,
Speaker 1: and see what this says. Tjai. Is there any studies
Speaker 1: that have been done on whether or not people can
Speaker 1: be addicted to social media apps like Instagram?
Speaker 13: Yes, there have been studies on this. Research suggests that
Speaker 13: some people can develop behaviors similar to addiction similar social
Speaker 13: media platforms like Instagram. This includes symptoms like compulsive use,
Speaker 13: mood modification, and withdrawal. The debate continues on whether it's
Speaker 13: true addiction, but the patterns of excessive use and negative
Speaker 13: effects on daily life are well documented.
Speaker 1: See that. To me, it's like, why we going further
Speaker 1: to say whether that's an addiction? If you're telling me
Speaker 1: it's messing up the person's life. They're spending sixteen hours
Speaker 1: a day on Instagram. If you're spending sixteen hours a
Speaker 1: day on anything, you're addicted to it, that's your whole day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is addiction if.
Speaker 2: It's not that?
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 6: A lazy Sunday.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one thing one day, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: every day. If you are spending every day on whatever.
Speaker 1: Let's say for you, Sabrina, it's watching TikTok videos and
Speaker 1: you're spending every day, all day doing that thing, I
Speaker 1: just don't see how you don't call that an addiction.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people are probably going
Speaker 1: to agree with that, But let's see what you think.
Speaker 1: So set us a dispatch over at thenewsjunkie dot com.
Speaker 1: One more story on the grab bag front here, and
Speaker 1: I believe this is confirmed. There's an info coming out
Speaker 1: that says House Republicans have announced that they are going
Speaker 1: to launch an investigation into the Bad Bunny super Bowl performance,
Speaker 1: alleging that Spanish lyrics were inappropriate for a television Let
Speaker 1: me just make sure that they're actually doing this.
Speaker 2: It's a real controversy.
Speaker 1: Now we knew it was that Randy Fine guy who
Speaker 1: I think that guy's nuts and some other person from
Speaker 1: Tennessee named Andy Ogeles and they're they're demanding an FCC
Speaker 1: pro But now this is suggesting that these folks are
Speaker 1: going to launch an investigation. It's going to be a
Speaker 1: pretty short investigation, Like, yeah, I haven't seen anybody, and
Speaker 1: by the way, I would have seen it by now.
Speaker 1: I would have seen it by now one percent. If
Speaker 1: there was Spanish curse words, people just said, here is
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny cursing in Spanish during the Super Bowl. This
Speaker 1: is an FCC violation and he should be fine for it.
Speaker 2: I haven't even video.
Speaker 4: I haven't even seen like because there's some curse words
Speaker 4: in Spanish that people argue over, like, well, this really
Speaker 4: means this, This means this, like the one that's supposed
Speaker 4: to mean bitch, but it's supposed to be a lot
Speaker 4: worse than bitch, and so they they argue over whether
Speaker 4: or not that's broadcast safe. But I haven't even seen
Speaker 4: that discussion happen over the Bad Bunny thing.
Speaker 1: You would one hundred percent see it, because if they
Speaker 1: really believed that this was happening, they would have gone
Speaker 1: back to the clips and they had been like, here
Speaker 1: is Bad Bunny performing at halftime.
Speaker 2: For the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Here's where he was cursing in Spanish because he didn't
Speaker 1: think we knew what he was saying, and he's trying
Speaker 1: to get away with this, And they would have done
Speaker 1: that already.
Speaker 4: And I was watching the halftime show surrounded by Spanish
Speaker 4: speaking people, and none of them are you think some
Speaker 4: of them displayed Some of them would have pointed out.
Speaker 1: Like whoa hey, oh best money, Yeah, it's one over
Speaker 1: on the white The songs had offensive or curse word
Speaker 1: or bad lyrics whatever, But he, like everybody else when
Speaker 1: you do a live performance, was changing the words in
Speaker 1: those songs. And you know that's true because you haven't
Speaker 1: seen any video evidence at all. Otherwise you've only seen
Speaker 1: people saying, oh, look at the lyrics. Here's the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Show me the performance where he's sang it. That's not
Speaker 1: out there. Nobody's doing that because it didn't happen.
Speaker 3: At one point, he even paused for censorship beeps to
Speaker 3: play while the video board behind him showed symbols that
Speaker 3: commonly denote swear words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's stupid. This is a dumb thing. What a
Speaker 2: waste of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, move on, fine, Fine, find the next
Speaker 1: actual thing that you could complain about, because this ain't it.
Speaker 2: Maybe last thing here I did.
Speaker 1: I wanted to work this thing because I thought it
Speaker 1: was kind of cute. But there was a moment on
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Television which I know you both Sabrine and Celian
Speaker 1: watched very closely.
Speaker 2: It's on the favorites list.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might have missed this interview where it was
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg called Balance of Power in Rick Davis was
Speaker 1: being interviewed Bop of course love When this happens. He's
Speaker 1: doing a very serious interview about the Department of Justice
Speaker 1: this and uh an anti trust chief quitting and et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And this is a visual so I'll explain
Speaker 1: it to you guys. But as it's going on, his
Speaker 1: little granddaughter comes up. She puts her arm on his shoulder.
Speaker 2: Look at his eyes.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh god, he's trying to get through the interview.
Speaker 1: She's tapping on his shoulder out he just stiff farms her.
Speaker 1: This little girl might be like three years old or
Speaker 1: four years old or something, and she's such a cute.
Speaker 1: As she comes up to him, she puts her hand
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, taps him and then rubs on his shoulder.
Speaker 1: She doesn't know he's on television, and it just slowly
Speaker 1: stiff arms her right out of the pic see my letter,
Speaker 1: right on out of there, which is fun. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of I think it was one on the BBC,
Speaker 1: so cute.
Speaker 3: The babysitter like crawls in and tries to get the baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been so many of those. Those are son.
Speaker 4: You know, like everybody was doing different workflows and working
Speaker 4: from home and a lot of weird things happened during
Speaker 4: COVID cute.
Speaker 3: I love moments like that. Why doesn't Grandpa just be like, Hi,
Speaker 3: this is my granddaughter and them show her out of
Speaker 3: the room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but bring her up on your lap and say, Okay,
Speaker 2: here's she is.
Speaker 3: Do you feel about this political thing we're talking about?
Speaker 1: Maybe she's interested in this Bloomberg chat, but no, he
Speaker 1: just stiff armed her.
Speaker 2: This was the class.
Speaker 1: This guy in an interview with where this little girl
Speaker 1: came in while he was doing the live interview on television.
Speaker 2: And she has so much attitude.
Speaker 1: What would it mean for dancing for the wider region?
Speaker 2: I think when to go Chod is just fullting. I
Speaker 2: mean ship, this shifting, shift, this, shoving her out of
Speaker 2: the way.
Speaker 5: The baby comes in. I would be surprised if they
Speaker 5: do two of them. The nanny comes sliding in the.
Speaker 3: Door, then like slowly pulls the baby that's on that
Speaker 3: walker thing.
Speaker 1: She was a car.
Speaker 3: She's so great.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. Okay, all right, quick break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, we got a couple more segments for you
Speaker 1: before we wrap up the week, and we'll see what
Speaker 1: else is in the store. Plus get into your feedback
Speaker 1: that's coming up next to the news junkie. Trump is
Speaker 1: talking about the discombobulator, and I haven't heard.
Speaker 2: This if I'm honest.
Speaker 1: So let me give you a full picture of what's
Speaker 1: going on here if you're just tuning into the show.
Speaker 1: When the United States went in in this unbelievably badass
Speaker 1: ninja style mission to go into Venezuela and remove in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night the president of Venezuela who
Speaker 1: stayed in office even though he stole the election and
Speaker 1: was taking over Venezuela as a dictator and was hated
Speaker 1: by I would say the majority and then some of
Speaker 1: the Venezuelan people. When the US forces went in to
Speaker 1: get Maduro and his wife in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night and remove him to bring him back to the
Speaker 1: USA for trial, they were very, very successful, and there
Speaker 1: were even reports that some of the soldiers were We
Speaker 1: tried to fire back, but we couldn't.
Speaker 2: We were so outgunned.
Speaker 1: And there was some weapon that they were shooting at us,
Speaker 1: some mystery weapon the US forces were shooting at us
Speaker 1: that made us start bleeding from the noses and dropped
Speaker 1: to the ground as the US forces the otters if
Speaker 1: you will overwhelmed us and completely took over.
Speaker 2: But Trump chimed in later on and said, it's.
Speaker 1: Called the discombobulator, and he started naming this thing, which
Speaker 1: there's no affing way this is called the discombobulator.
Speaker 3: Now, that term, though, is from a movie or a
Speaker 3: TV show. I've heard it before, but in a cartoon sense.
Speaker 2: Mister President, give us the go to deploy the discombobulator.
Speaker 1: The discombobulators bring It sounds like something from ACME that
Speaker 1: Wiley Coyote would purchase from.
Speaker 6: It's along those lines.
Speaker 1: I don't think there there's no way. There's just no
Speaker 1: way that this is actually called the discombobulator. But Trump,
Speaker 1: he'd be winging it sometimes he does this kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: and then he'll say, if I say it enough times,
Speaker 1: then people who just call it this discombobulator. So he's
Speaker 1: talking about the discombobulator again.
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
Speaker 14: Unbelievable operation. But that was a smaller operation, but it
Speaker 14: was so precise.
Speaker 1: So incredible. Nobody thought a thing like that could happen.
Speaker 14: They even talk about the discombobulator because they never got
Speaker 14: a shot off. The Russian equipment didn't work, the Chinese
Speaker 14: equipment didn't work.
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to figure out why it didn't work.
Speaker 2: Someday you gotta find out. But it didn't work.
Speaker 1: The discombobulator you can fly in a night. Get you
Speaker 1: ot at? I mean, I'm just I would love to
Speaker 1: go behind the scenes and see the actual top secret information.
Speaker 1: And if this thing is called the discombobulator, I'll eat
Speaker 1: my hat. There's no way. There's no way. There's some
Speaker 1: some like professional scientists, was like, we'll call it the discombobulator.
Speaker 1: That's what it's from.
Speaker 3: Discombobulates reference in several games. I just sent you from
Speaker 3: Levi's Light, which might be like a D and D
Speaker 3: type game. Sherlock Combs has a discombobulator fight, okay, a
Speaker 3: title song called the Discombobulate with Hans Zimmer for the
Speaker 3: movie soundtrack.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I think this is just an
Speaker 1: actual photograph Sabrina of the Discombobulator. That was the Yeah,
Speaker 1: what I want to look like?
Speaker 3: Make it with the blue glowing lights.
Speaker 1: It's got a handle on it. Squeeze the handle. The
Speaker 1: discombobulation begins, and then everybody bleeds from their noses.
Speaker 3: Too perfect.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is not going to be it coming Big House
Speaker 1: on YouTube says, I'll be getting discombobulated tonight. That's not
Speaker 1: the same thing. That's no, that's that's different. That is
Speaker 1: not the same thing. But we're just calling it the discombobulator. Now,
Speaker 1: I guess let's see what else.
Speaker 2: Do we have here.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of clips that we haven't played
Speaker 1: over the years, not the years, I mean over the
Speaker 1: over the week. Oh. I wanted to bring this up
Speaker 1: real quick because I've been talking about how there's this
Speaker 1: obnoxious movement that just every time you see this rear
Speaker 1: a tuggy head, whack it down like whack the mole.
Speaker 1: Whenever people come out, it's always the same people, all right,
Speaker 1: Whenever people come out, it's always the very political people,
Speaker 1: and they tell you that silence is violence, or they
Speaker 1: tell you that you must have an opinion on this
Speaker 1: very specific topic of which you know nothing about, whether
Speaker 1: you have a platform or not a platform. Squash this
Speaker 1: idea that we need to have opinions. Everybody that celebrities,
Speaker 1: that everybody, that olympians, that everybody needs to have opinions
Speaker 1: on everything, whether it's what's happening in Gaza, which I
Speaker 1: trust about a fraction of one percent of the United
Speaker 1: States of America to talk about an issue like Gaza
Speaker 1: and actually know what the hell is going on, whether
Speaker 1: it's what's happening in Ukraine, whether it's you know, ice,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. The people who push for this crap,
Speaker 1: who push for forced politics, that's what I'll call it.
Speaker 1: Forced politics. They don't care about anything other than you
Speaker 1: agreeing with them. They don't want you to speak out
Speaker 1: on the topic. They want you to agree or they're
Speaker 1: going to come after you. It's like being silent isn't enough.
Speaker 1: They're bored by that, so they wait. They go, you
Speaker 1: must weigh in. Your silence is violence. All of this crap,
Speaker 1: absolute crap. And then when somebody does weigh in, if
Speaker 1: they don't say X, Y and Z exactly like they want,
Speaker 1: you don't pass the litmus test, well then they still
Speaker 1: go after you. It's all in an effort to strike
Speaker 1: fear in people and to welch free speech, to make
Speaker 1: you afraid of saying the wrong thing. Don't bow down
Speaker 1: to that pressure. Dismiss these losers, these political losers, at
Speaker 1: every turn. Kevin James says, when they asked him, why
Speaker 1: don't you weigh in on stuff like this? Kevin huh, Kevin,
Speaker 1: mister James, if you will, why don't you weigh in
Speaker 1: on this? Kevin James said, there are experts who know
Speaker 1: much more than I do. I'm just focusing on what
Speaker 1: I can do delivering a fun, heartfelt break from the
Speaker 1: craziness of the world, says Kevin James. Everybody carries themselves
Speaker 1: around all day long with a lot of stress. It's
Speaker 1: necessary in some ways, but you also need a break.
Speaker 1: You got to look around and find the good in things,
Speaker 1: otherwise you're just not going to function. And I want
Speaker 1: to make people have fun, have hope and get a
Speaker 1: nice escape to their dad. So, of course, when you
Speaker 1: look at the comments on things like this, it's generally
Speaker 1: a lot of people screaming.
Speaker 3: And you why don't are you talking about menass movie
Speaker 3: coming up?
Speaker 1: He is in something and I don't know, Sabrina if
Speaker 1: that was why did you see the picture of Kevin
Speaker 1: James alone at the super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Yes, with the flowers and crime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was like alone crying, Kevin James super Bowl.
Speaker 1: He's alone crying at the super Bowl and he's got
Speaker 1: here is He's got a bouquet of flowers and nobody's
Speaker 1: sitting around him, and I think this maybe is for
Speaker 1: that movie you're talking.
Speaker 2: About, Solomeo.
Speaker 1: Solomeo. Isn't it already out though?
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: It's he gets left at the altar and then you
Speaker 4: know at the beginning of the movie and then you know,
Speaker 4: it's like Kevin James' own e Prey Love or something
Speaker 4: like that, and he finds themselves and yeah, okay, but
Speaker 4: but Kevin James is just absolutely unequivocally right about that.
Speaker 1: And the bigger problem, very quickly is this. I heard
Speaker 1: a lot of people get angry about US Olympians and
Speaker 1: they're like, look, the Olympians are getting political. The Olympians
Speaker 1: are weighing in with this and that. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: The point is two things. One, it's not about getting political.
Speaker 1: It's about forced speech. Agreeing with these people. They don't
Speaker 1: just want to hear what your opinion is. They want
Speaker 1: it to be theirs, exactly to the tea, or they
Speaker 1: will bury you. This is a game of fear.
Speaker 2: That's one.
Speaker 1: Number Two. Don't get mad at the Olympians, don't get
Speaker 1: mad at the celebrities. Don't get mad at all the
Speaker 1: folks on the red carpet and fashion and an award
Speaker 1: shows that are saying all these things. Get mad at
Speaker 1: all of the reporters that ask them the questions to
Speaker 1: begin with. That's where this comes from, the reporters who
Speaker 1: can't help themselves, the reporters who actually want to inject
Speaker 1: politics into everything and want to make sure you can't
Speaker 1: have a nice little breather on your weekend without somebody
Speaker 1: screaming gaza or whatever in your face, or ice or whatever.
Speaker 1: That's where the problem begins. That's where it could end.
Speaker 1: That's who ask these athletes. That's who ask the last
Speaker 1: of basketball players and the figure skaters and the Olympians
Speaker 1: and everybody that you get mad about and you say,
Speaker 1: shut up and dribble, or shut up and sing or
Speaker 1: shut up in whatever. All the time, it's somebody from
Speaker 1: the media who's pushing the question on them. And that's
Speaker 1: where this starts. All right, let me know what you think.
Speaker 1: Send a dispatch and we'll get some of these in
Speaker 1: final dispatches stories that Oh, by the way, two shorts
Speaker 1: on the same page.
Speaker 2: Too short.
Speaker 1: The rapper, he says, He says, a rapper should also,
Speaker 1: you know, keep politics to themselves. Now if they don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about politics. I think if they want to,
Speaker 1: you know whatever, you can have freedom of speech to
Speaker 1: do this. I don't like the four stuff, and I
Speaker 1: don't like the idea that they continue to try to
Speaker 1: push these people by asking those questions. Anyhow, Final Dispatches
Speaker 1: Stories that did make the cut, And today I learned
Speaker 1: to wrap everything up for a Friday in the week
Speaker 1: that is coming up next, something to use chunky. Final
Speaker 1: dispatches stories that didn't make the cut, And today I
Speaker 1: learned to wrap everything up for a Friday and the week.
Speaker 1: Let's see what we have time for. Did you guys
Speaker 1: see the video of this cop falling that's gone like megaviral?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm see what we Yeah, there's this cop.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were at like a very serious
Speaker 1: police call. But it's this Tennessee police officer who fell
Speaker 1: off of a porch of this house. Okay, here it is.
Speaker 2: Here he is with his body came on.
Speaker 1: He rolls over like a turtle, he falls out the
Speaker 1: front door of this house. And then as he falls
Speaker 1: out of the front door of this house, he knocks
Speaker 1: another cop over right here.
Speaker 3: So much to this wall.
Speaker 1: Yep, it just means that like an unusually small porch.
Speaker 1: It's a little part.
Speaker 4: There's not a lot of walking room in between those
Speaker 4: chairs in the end of that pit.
Speaker 6: And it took him like five pregnant seconds to actually fall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he fell like four times.
Speaker 1: He fell walking out, then he landed on his side,
Speaker 1: then he rolled, and he fell again, and he knocked
Speaker 1: another cop off the.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm done.
Speaker 7: He's just on the.
Speaker 1: Ground like a turtle. Other cops laughing at him. Twenty
Speaker 1: eight million viewsn't counting. Nice good work. There we go
Speaker 1: and anything else that we can work in. I don't
Speaker 1: know if we have a time for like a final
Speaker 1: dispatch situation. I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Actually, actually no, we don't.
Speaker 1: We just don't. I would do it, but I'll save
Speaker 1: some of those for Monday if any of the dispatches
Speaker 1: really break through and mean something. Right now? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: actually Tuesday, We're off on Monday. Okay, here we go,
Speaker 1: let's get the hell out of here. Let's do today.
Speaker 1: I learned the following information may make you feel smarter,
Speaker 1: but will not actually increase your IQ. So don't get cocky.
Speaker 1: Now it's done, or what we call today it is
Speaker 1: saday I learned for a Friday, February thirteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Here we go. A stalker of this guy right here?
Speaker 1: Eminem Eminem. That's correct, a stalker of Eminem, possibly Stam,
Speaker 1: possibly some other guy committed three home invasions over a
Speaker 1: six year period. This guy did. In twenty nineteen, he
Speaker 1: broke into one of Eminem's former homes and told the
Speaker 1: new homeowner he was looking for his brother Marshall. In
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, he broke into Eminem's home and told Eminem
Speaker 1: he was there to kill him. Things I guess escalated.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, he broke into Eminem's home again,
Speaker 1: and and round we got. They keep making plea deals
Speaker 1: and letting these people out. He was released on prol
Speaker 1: the last time a couple of years ago. He's been
Speaker 1: quiet for at least a little while. Taylor and Abraham
Speaker 1: Lincoln wrote a true crime mystery story, and he wrote
Speaker 1: a mystery story based on a real case. He defended
Speaker 1: one brother confessed to a murder and implicated his two siblings,
Speaker 1: but Lincoln exonerated them all when the victim was found
Speaker 1: alive in a nearby town suffering from amnesia. What a
Speaker 1: weird ass story, that is, but I guess I guess
Speaker 1: a true one, nonetheless from mister Abraham Lincoln. Today learned
Speaker 1: this lady right here, Aretha Franklin. That's right, Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 1: Her sister, Carolyn Franklin, was a songwriter who wrote multiple
Speaker 1: hits for her. In nineteen seventy five, Carolyn got her
Speaker 1: big break when producer Curtis Mayfield asked her to sing
Speaker 1: on the soundtrack for the film Sparkle. I knew that film.
Speaker 1: Isn't that carry is glitter? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Probably about the same.
Speaker 1: After hearing the incomplete songs, Aretha forced Carolyn off the
Speaker 1: project and replaced her. She never got the credit from Aretha.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, let's just move on to the last one.
