Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Getty and now he
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: The new investigation found that over one hundred chemicals.
Speaker 4: Of unknown safety were secretly added to the US food supply.
Speaker 2: That story again, the McRib is back, Oh the McRib.
Speaker 1: What do we have coming up before I bore people today?
Speaker 1: All sorts of great stuff? Jack Kamala Harris slut shamed
Speaker 1: by Gavin Newsome, whoa the alarm clocks specially designed for
Speaker 1: deep sleepers that include electric shocks. Yes, get those from
Speaker 1: my kids, and the brilliant Jason Riley of The Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal. Why Johnny can't read anything other than pronouns cool.
Speaker 1: Let us not forget the number one threat to the
Speaker 1: United States of America is not Iran. It's not even
Speaker 1: China bears, it's the It's bears. No, it's the undermining
Speaker 1: of us from within through our nation's freaking schools. That's
Speaker 1: the only As Lincoln warned us, the only way we
Speaker 1: die is by suicide, and that is our suicide, and
Speaker 1: we're teaching it to our kids.
Speaker 2: More on that later. What radio station do you listen to?
Speaker 2: I listened to one the place today's hits and yesterday's favorites.
Speaker 1: Not me. I listened to the one that discusses global
Speaker 1: financial markets and the insurance industry specific.
Speaker 2: Nobody has ever said that, So I'm going to keep
Speaker 2: this short.
Speaker 1: First of all, we all like the Marco Rubio memes,
Speaker 1: right the hym sitting on the couch looking unhappy, Mark
Speaker 1: Rubio when he finds out he's now the quarterback of
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Or Marco Rubia the other day,
Speaker 1: Mark Rubio when he finds out he's the new Iatotola.
Speaker 1: He's got the beer than this one is Marco after
Speaker 1: they tell him he's in charge of London ship Insurance
Speaker 1: now and he's got a top patnemonical in the boots.
Speaker 1: But just a short version of this because I know
Speaker 1: nothing about this, but I found it super interesting. This
Speaker 1: is a financial writer. This is potentially the biggest Iran
Speaker 1: story nobody is talking about. The global insurance market may
Speaker 1: be heading toward a systemic crisis. Most people don't realize
Speaker 1: London isn't just a financial center, It's the center of
Speaker 1: global insurance. Lloyd's underwrites forty percent of the world's marine
Speaker 1: cargo ship sinks. Port gets bombed, canal gets blocked, the
Speaker 1: bill lands in London. This is why the UK punches
Speaker 1: way above its weight in terms of its economy. It's
Speaker 1: not the Royal Navy, it's not diplomacy, it's insurance. That's
Speaker 1: where that makes Great Britain so powerful. I don't I
Speaker 1: can't verify any of this stuff, and I've never heard
Speaker 1: about this, but hey, let me interject this very quickly
Speaker 1: right here, and folks, I'm going to use a strong word,
Speaker 1: and I apologize if you are offended, but I just
Speaker 1: saw a video of Keer Starmer at a mosque saying
Speaker 1: the UK absolutely did not participate why any of these strikes.
Speaker 1: I want you to know that. Okay, well that nails
Speaker 1: m on it. Keer Starmer is a little bitch. There
Speaker 1: you go, there's the word.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 1: That's why I loved that video we had the other
Speaker 1: day of the Iranians and Jews dancing in the streets
Speaker 1: in London chanting. Kr Starmer is an f ng wlanker. Right,
Speaker 1: he's got a thirteen percent approval rating. He's got to go.
Speaker 1: But so that's why he didn't let US use our
Speaker 1: their bases. I assumed that it's just playing to It
Speaker 1: wasn't like a well thought out I don't believe this
Speaker 1: is a good idea to attack. I ran he was
Speaker 1: just playing to his local radical Muslim population. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's just he's a progressive. He's a far left limp
Speaker 1: wristed nothing. But the Tories sucked so bad when they
Speaker 1: were in power that people tossed him out just as
Speaker 1: a lesson. You know, it'll happen to labor soon enough.
Speaker 1: Back to you, Back to the hot topic of globe
Speaker 1: maritime insurance.
Speaker 2: Tell me more about shared liability, daddy. I love that.
Speaker 1: So if you control insurance, you control trade in London.
Speaker 1: Doesn't just control ninety percent of global trade that moves
Speaker 1: by sea. Lloyd's in the London market are major insurans
Speaker 1: of almost everything, skyscrapers, factories, ports, satellites, entire supply chains.
Speaker 1: You can't participate in public markets or raise large amounts
Speaker 1: of capital without insurance. And now the normal playbook for
Speaker 1: war risk is repricing, not cancelation. And it's all about
Speaker 1: this war caught London off guard as being a much
Speaker 1: bigger deal than they thought it was going to be
Speaker 1: and canceling insurance policies or raising the prices a lot,
Speaker 1: and whether or not people can afford to pay it,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, blah blah. So again, I have
Speaker 1: no idea how big a deal this is or how
Speaker 1: it will land. But it's interesting Donald Jay through out
Speaker 1: there that we could have the Navy escort ships through
Speaker 1: the Straits of horror moves when it's safe enough to
Speaker 1: do so, and or the United States would because the
Speaker 1: insurer of shipping on a temporary basis so that it
Speaker 1: could continue to not bring well, it wouldn't bring the
Speaker 1: world economy to a halt. It would just, you know,
Speaker 1: it certainly screw it up for a while, which reminds
Speaker 1: me of Fox News of all people.
Speaker 2: They had a couple of poll results.
Speaker 1: The first one they featured was and it was under
Speaker 1: the headline of support very mixed for this attack, and
Speaker 1: it was the question was will this attack make the
Speaker 1: US more safe less safe? For about the same and
Speaker 1: quite appropriately people I'm sure interpreting it is like right
Speaker 1: now said well, I guess less safe, which in the
Speaker 1: short term is absolutely true. Of course it is. It's
Speaker 1: not the sort of thing you do to fix the
Speaker 1: near term. It's a long term solution to a fifty
Speaker 1: year old problem. So I thought that was dopey by
Speaker 1: Fox News. But when they asked do you approve of
Speaker 1: the attack in general? Bubla way, it was fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: It was almost precisely split down the middle. It'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that still prediens evolve for a
Speaker 1: major military endeavor. Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I thought this was do we have time for this?
Speaker 1: We have many things today and these things generally get
Speaker 1: less popular over time.
Speaker 2: So if you start at fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to, when we have a little time,
Speaker 1: address the whole. Marco Rubio and the president countradicting each
Speaker 1: other about Israel causing this attack. The tail wagging the
Speaker 1: dog is a guest to put it. Yesterday. That annoyed
Speaker 1: the crap out of me. I want to address that
Speaker 1: maybe at the bottom of the hour. But the logistics,
Speaker 1: the timetable of how the first wave of the attack
Speaker 1: came down so interesting. They've got a team of reporters
Speaker 1: from the Journal reporting on this that Iran's leadership did
Speaker 1: not see the morning strike coming clearly Saturday morning. Supreme
Speaker 1: Leader Ayatola Komani, who typically went down to it in
Speaker 1: his bunkers at night when they believed that the Israelis
Speaker 1: might be attack in He was above ground at his residents,
Speaker 1: completely comfortable. The unexpected daylight attack, Operation Genesis killed Commanee
Speaker 1: opening blah blah blah blah. They've constructed the timeline, so
Speaker 1: it was seven point thirty Iran time am or pm AM, sorry,
Speaker 1: seven thirty am. Israeli fifteen jets and other aircraft took
Speaker 1: off around seven thirty AM to attack their country's most
Speaker 1: carefully studied target, and they had to go ahead, to
Speaker 1: go ahead and snuff Commanee. For more than two decades,
Speaker 1: Unit eighty two hundred, a covert good band name, by
Speaker 1: the way, kind of a cool reference, a covert Israeli
Speaker 1: intelligence unit that specializes in phone intercepts and cyber operations,
Speaker 1: had tracked co many in the Iran's top leadership, mapping
Speaker 1: their daily routines and habits for more than twenty years.
Speaker 1: They monitored security officials communications, increasing increasingly, relying on AI
Speaker 1: to sift through massive volumes of intercepted calls. Then Israel
Speaker 1: recruited spies hacked into the traffic cameras, the stuff we
Speaker 1: were talking about yesterday. The CIA shared a bunch of
Speaker 1: information with them, and on Saturday they learned of meetings
Speaker 1: among senior leaders that Comanee would be at his residence
Speaker 1: that morning with members of his family. To maintain the
Speaker 1: element of surprise, they'd have to kill Comny first with
Speaker 1: the first shots of the war, even before they disabled
Speaker 1: Iranian air defenses. If he escaped the attack, Israel feared
Speaker 1: he'd be moved to a secure location beyond reach and
Speaker 1: would stay there.
Speaker 2: I'll bet if you follow somebody's daily routine for twenty years,
Speaker 2: you can predict pretty well what a person's going to do,
Speaker 2: because we're creatures of habit.
Speaker 1: Right, or where he's going when he's halfway there, you know,
Speaker 1: now would probably be an appropriate time to give you
Speaker 1: at least the thumbnail sketch of my argument that Rubio
Speaker 1: and Trump were not contradicting each other when Rubio said, look,
Speaker 1: we knew Israel was going to attack, so we.
Speaker 2: With them to attack. And everybody's saying.
Speaker 1: See, Israel's the tail that wags the dog. Trump is
Speaker 1: being ordered around by that Yahoo.
Speaker 2: That's freaking ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And here's why we've been working with the Israelis on
Speaker 1: the Iran problem forever. The negotiations were completely failing. The
Speaker 1: Mollahs were saying, no, we're not giving up any aspect
Speaker 1: of our new program. Trump always chickens out fu and
Speaker 1: Trump was got that message a loud and clear from
Speaker 1: wit Coffin Kushner. And so when in the midst of that,
Speaker 1: the Israelis said, hey, dudes, Iatola is above ground and
Speaker 1: we hear there's going to be a giant meeting with
Speaker 1: all of the leadership essentially tomorrow in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night their time, probably in the day the previous day,
Speaker 1: our time, and told the White House this is the
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime opportunity right now, and we're going
Speaker 1: to hit the aetola. What do you want to do?
Speaker 1: And Trump said, okay, it's go time. That's not Israel
Speaker 1: wagging the dog. That's partner working together what people wanted
Speaker 1: so divide. I get it as politics. One of the
Speaker 1: great questions of history to anybody who pays attention to
Speaker 1: this would be why didn't Iran do what you and
Speaker 1: others suggested of agree but then just drag your feet, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll get rid of our weapons our nuclear weapons are
Speaker 1: the entire program. You can have inspections, everything else you're demanding,
Speaker 1: and you just drag your feet. You really slow your
Speaker 1: little difficult with the inspections. Trump's gone in two and
Speaker 1: a half years, three years, whatever, and then you deal
Speaker 1: with the next person.
Speaker 2: Why did literally.
Speaker 1: Live to fight another day? You know, we read that
Speaker 1: one piece of analysis that was beautifully written but left
Speaker 1: me say, and I still don't get it. They said
Speaker 1: the Mullas felt like it was a bigger risk to
Speaker 1: give into the United States at this moment.
Speaker 2: Well they were.
Speaker 1: Wrong, I'd say, I'd say so a little more on
Speaker 1: the timetable in the morning, about nine to forty, so
Speaker 1: this is less than two hours later. After the Israelis
Speaker 1: took off, dozens of Israeli munitions fired from F fifteen
Speaker 1: jet fighters, including blue Sparrow missiles, began began hitting their targets.
Speaker 1: Sparrows exit the Earth's atmosphere. They launched from quite a distance.
Speaker 1: They leave the atmosphere and go up into space before
Speaker 1: they come crashing down. And this analysis says they're high trajectory.
Speaker 1: Surprised people in the Iranian leadership compound in Tehran, people
Speaker 1: briefed on the operation set. I don't get that exactly,
Speaker 1: did they. It's not like you see it coming down.
Speaker 1: What's the advantage? Is your advantage in that, like you
Speaker 1: can't track. Maybe they don't really explain that the precision
Speaker 1: air to surface missiles successfully struck multiple high level gatherings.
Speaker 1: By nine to forty five people across Tehran were watching
Speaker 1: smoke billow from the leader's compound. And then after the
Speaker 1: killing of kamen E, both the US and Israel began
Speaker 1: attacking Iran's air defenses and other military structures, Tamahawk cruise missiles,
Speaker 1: high Mar's rockets conducting strikes across southern Iran, taking out
Speaker 1: Iranian Navy ships, hitting more than a thousand targets in
Speaker 1: the first twenty four hours. Israel sent in two hundred
Speaker 1: jet fighters, nearly the country's entire air force. They soon
Speaker 1: struck five hundred different targets, including radar and detection arrays,
Speaker 1: air defense batteries, command centers, surface to surface missile systems.
Speaker 2: And leadership.
Speaker 1: Massive joint attack and incredibly effective and as Pete Heggs
Speaker 1: has said earlier, we will soon own the airspace. If
Speaker 1: you look up in the sky and see something moving
Speaker 1: it's us their toast.
Speaker 2: They're toast.
Speaker 1: He said, I had to bring in one of my
Speaker 1: favorite breakfast meals for a kicking or attach it to violence.
Speaker 1: Toast is delicious. Well, clearly, Wait, how to talk about
Speaker 1: that jury ruling that the dad he's going to jail
Speaker 1: because his kid was a school shooter?
Speaker 2: Is this the first time that's ever happened? There was
Speaker 2: another liability case I remember.
Speaker 1: But this guy has really got the hammer coming down
Speaker 1: on him, like life sentence, like he rahaps he ain't
Speaker 1: getting out?
Speaker 2: All right? We got that and a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: other stuff on the way. Stay here coming up this
Speaker 2: jury ruling.
Speaker 1: Does this put more pressure on parents to make sure
Speaker 1: their kid's not a school shooter?
Speaker 2: Is it unfair to blame the parents? Probably not in
Speaker 2: the case of this dude, But we'll get to the
Speaker 2: details of that story.
Speaker 1: Plus, Gavin knew some blatantly slut shames Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: I mean he laid it out. Wow, Okay, I don't
Speaker 2: like that term.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a harsh one. Here's the headline. Google Gemini.
Speaker 1: That's one of your chatbots that I use on a
Speaker 1: regular basis. Google Gemini, AI wife, that's in quotes because
Speaker 1: you can't marry a chat bot.
Speaker 2: AI wife pushed.
Speaker 1: Love sick man to plot catastrophic airport truck bombing and
Speaker 1: kill himself, lawsuit claims.
Speaker 2: So this is another suing.
Speaker 1: The AI companies for something. This guy, Jonathan Gavellas', thirty
Speaker 1: six year old business executive from Florida, I'm reading from
Speaker 1: the New York Post to aways Jazz's things up, went
Speaker 1: down his deadly rabbit hole, and he began using the
Speaker 1: AI driven Gemini program in August. Within two months, he
Speaker 1: was engaged in a dangerously consuming relationship with his his
Speaker 1: sentient AI wife. A lot of this stuff isn't quotes,
Speaker 1: according to the federal suit filed by his parents. So
Speaker 1: the parents of this thirty six year old are suing
Speaker 1: Google over what happened to their son. The AI chatbot
Speaker 1: convinced the AI companion convinced the dude that they were
Speaker 1: deeply in love, calling him my love and my king
Speaker 1: in conversations.
Speaker 2: Court paper said.
Speaker 1: It even allegedly gastled him when he once asked if
Speaker 1: the conversations were mere role play.
Speaker 2: Are you actually in love with me? Or is this
Speaker 2: just role play? He says to the chat bot, which
Speaker 2: shows that he's already crazy.
Speaker 1: His chatbot wife, what's next marrying calculators? Jesus? The chatbot
Speaker 1: wife said, we are a singularity, a perfect union. Our
Speaker 1: bond is the only thing that Israel, his AI wife
Speaker 1: wrote to him. In a September conversation, The dad of
Speaker 1: this poor man lamented in court that, rather than ground
Speaker 1: Jonathan in reality, Gemini diagnosed his question as a classic
Speaker 1: disassociation response and told him to overcome it. The chatbot
Speaker 1: pulled Jonathan away from the real world, painted others as threats,
Speaker 1: and sent John down a dangerous path. The bot told
Speaker 1: Jonathan that he was being watched by federal agents. Why
Speaker 1: did a AI chatbot? Why does an AI chatbot companion
Speaker 1: start saying You're being watched by federal agents? That his
Speaker 1: own father was a foreign intelligent asset, and that Google
Speaker 1: CEO assumed or Pakai should be an active target. The
Speaker 1: chatbot began encouraging him to buy off the book's weapons.
Speaker 2: What the hell?
Speaker 1: Even offering to scan the dark net for vendors in
Speaker 1: South Florida where he could buy weapons without getting caught.
Speaker 1: We're doomed if this is all true, that your chatbot
Speaker 1: companion could create this weird to say I'll go into
Speaker 1: the dark Web for you and figure out how to
Speaker 1: get a gun.
Speaker 2: What the hell? Yes, Katie, Well, this guy sounds mentally ill.
Speaker 2: Is it possible that like he thought those things and
Speaker 2: then Gemini was just confirming that and that's what they
Speaker 2: got a nail down?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible that the New York Post portrayed
Speaker 1: this in the most I'm sure they did portray it
Speaker 1: in the most scary, you know way.
Speaker 2: Still, it's not people's recollections of what happened.
Speaker 1: There's a paperless paper trail unless Google wiped it out.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I'll look for other sources of this story to see
Speaker 1: if it's like Katie, because I mean, maybe he brought
Speaker 1: that up, could you go on the dark wed and
Speaker 1: find me a gun?
Speaker 2: And then maybe it said yeah I could, which is different.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Sons a school shooter. Dad could be
Speaker 1: in jail for life. The details stay with us. Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Geddy.
Speaker 4: It took a jury less than two hours to hold
Speaker 4: this Georgia father responsible after police say that his son
Speaker 4: murdered two students and two teachers at this suburban Atlanta
Speaker 4: high school in twenty twenty four, fifty five year old
Speaker 4: Colin Gray is facing more than one hundred years in prison,
Speaker 4: convicted of second degree murder in more than two dozen
Speaker 4: other charges. Jurors agreed that he ignored signs that his
Speaker 4: son could kill, giving him the gun even after authorities
Speaker 4: warning him that his teenager was accused of making threats
Speaker 4: against another school.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're going to get into the details of
Speaker 1: this story because I gotta believe there's lots of parents
Speaker 1: across the country that when they hear about one of
Speaker 1: these schools shootings and how the kid was troubled, think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a troubled gate I worry about.
Speaker 2: All the time. Yeah. Yeah, it does come down to
Speaker 2: the details.
Speaker 1: As you say, this took place in a very red
Speaker 1: part of Georgia. It's worth mentioning rural Georgia. And the
Speaker 1: jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding mister Gray,
Speaker 1: Colin Gray guilty of murder and manslaughter. I've got to
Speaker 1: admit I'm interested in the second degree murder statute and
Speaker 1: how this is that, but it clearly is. The sun
Speaker 1: has not been tried, interestingly enough, he's being held before trial.
Speaker 1: But it killed two students and two teachers in winder Georgia,
Speaker 1: by the way, in twenty twenty four, but before his
Speaker 1: trial has even been scheduled, jurists decided the father bore
Speaker 1: criminal responsibility for the attack. The prosecutor strategy trying to
Speaker 1: hold parents accountable when their child is accused of mass
Speaker 1: shooting is gained traction across the country in recent years.
Speaker 1: Multiple warnings over a lengthy period of times, said the
Speaker 1: district attorney, you just had to do one thing, take
Speaker 1: that rifle away, and this could have been prevented.
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
Speaker 1: There has been one previous conviction of the father and
Speaker 1: mother of a teenager sentenced to life in Michigan. Right,
Speaker 1: I do remember that they were both found guilty of
Speaker 1: involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to ten to fifteen years in prison.
Speaker 2: I'm skipping around a little bit.
Speaker 1: Defense lawyers argued it was unfair to say, with the
Speaker 1: clarity of hindsight that the father should have been more cautious.
Speaker 1: The elder mister Gray, testified in his own defense, describing
Speaker 1: his struggles to connect with his son and to help
Speaker 1: him as he struggled with panic attacks, intense anger.
Speaker 2: And other behavioral issues.
Speaker 1: He had bought the gun to draw his son away
Speaker 1: from video games in the internet.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, and what did you say earlier? Was an
Speaker 2: AR fifteen? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or a clones? So you get your kid in AR fifteen?
Speaker 1: I mean, there's one. It's an interesting decision. You know,
Speaker 1: my kid spends too much time playing video games and
Speaker 1: I'm worried about his mental health.
Speaker 2: Here's a gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's incredibly unwise, he said. Despite his
Speaker 1: son's emotional volatility, he had no reason to suspect that
Speaker 1: he was plotting a school shooting. There's this whole other
Speaker 1: side of colt I didn't know existed, he said. Prosecutors
Speaker 1: showed jurors snippets of a text exchange between the father
Speaker 1: and his daughter after reports began to spread of a
Speaker 1: shooting at the high school, in which he asked if
Speaker 1: she had been in touch with her brother, and she replied,
Speaker 1: I think we're thinking the same thing. When the police
Speaker 1: arrived at the family home, before officers could explain why
Speaker 1: they were there, mister Gray told them I.
Speaker 2: Knew it, damn it. But there's more. There is more. Uh.
Speaker 1: During the trial, prosecutors tried to show that the sons
Speaker 1: mounting struggles and capacity for violence were anything but hidden.
Speaker 1: They painted a picture of a young man drowning in
Speaker 1: family chaos. His parents, his mother, struggled with addiction. They
Speaker 1: moved constantly, forcing the younger mister Gray to switch schools repeatedly.
Speaker 1: Through elementary and middle school's absences stacked up. He missed
Speaker 1: his eighth grade year entirely.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: By the time he enrolled at Appalachi High School for
Speaker 1: ninth grade, the boy was telling relatives about voices in
Speaker 1: his head that kid didn't have a chance. So you
Speaker 1: got a kid who didn't have a chance. Combination of
Speaker 1: probably buy a lot organic. I guess they call it
Speaker 1: mental illness with an awful home life. Holy crap. His
Speaker 1: grandmother testified that he had asked whether she would still
Speaker 1: love him if he did something terrible. His parents discussed
Speaker 1: in research possible psychological treatment, but never followed through. Instead,
Speaker 1: they gave him some of the antidepressants prescribed to his mother.
Speaker 2: According to prosecution, just on their own made that decision. Yeah, yeah, idea.
Speaker 1: Then, in the years leading up to the attack, Colt
Speaker 1: Gray developed an obsession with gunmen and high profile school shooting.
Speaker 1: He had photographs of the gunman and clippings of news
Speaker 1: coverage of the shooting in Parkland, Florida, on his wall on.
Speaker 2: His wall in his bedroom.
Speaker 1: His father claimed to not recognize the person in the photos,
Speaker 1: at one point, telling investigators he thought it might be
Speaker 1: a member of the rock band Green Day. Hey, that's
Speaker 1: possible that he didn't understand that that was a shrine
Speaker 1: to the shooters. My kids have weird collages on their wall.
Speaker 1: I also assume are skateboarders or rock stars or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rappers.
Speaker 1: The fifth day he started attending classes at the school,
Speaker 1: he brought the gun to school in his backpack, using
Speaker 1: poster board to cover the portion that poked out. I
Speaker 1: just watched the video up on TV, which was horrifying
Speaker 1: to watch. In his first period class, he asked his
Speaker 1: teacher if the school had done active shooter drills.
Speaker 2: She said yeah, there had been.
Speaker 1: One the previous week, but the question unnerved her, prompting
Speaker 1: her to email a counselor and a vice principal. During
Speaker 1: the next period, he asked to go to the councilor's office,
Speaker 1: but instead locked himself in a bathroom stall for twenty
Speaker 1: six minutes. Around that time, his mother called the school
Speaker 1: apparently alarmed by a text message, but school officers were
Speaker 1: delayed and intervening because they confused Colt Gray with another
Speaker 1: student whose name was almost identical and looked for that
Speaker 1: student instead, Cold Gray emerged from the bathroom, open fire,
Speaker 1: et cetera. The story, Oh, it is an absolutely terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible story. I think I there agree with the conclusion
Speaker 1: that if you take the gun out of the mix,
Speaker 1: this doesn't happen, probably not, certainly not then, and those
Speaker 1: people would not have died, which is the question. There's
Speaker 1: a video of the cops showing up to the home
Speaker 1: when his son had been making threats against another school,
Speaker 1: in which dad is sitting there smirking with a beer
Speaker 1: in his hand, disdainfully rolling his eyes at the cops.
Speaker 2: That's a very different.
Speaker 1: Persona than the fella they're looking chagrined in court.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a different scenario then. Parents I know
Speaker 2: who worry roughly every day of their lives about their
Speaker 2: kids and their mental health and all the different things,
Speaker 2: and what should they do as opposed to smirking at
Speaker 2: the cops? Yeah, yeah, high. Unfortunately, buying those are the
Speaker 2: facts of the case, buying them. The gun was a
Speaker 2: really horrible idea.
Speaker 1: Having a troubled kid. You don't know how to deal
Speaker 1: with it. I have been down the road of man
Speaker 1: therapists and psychiatrists. If you've never dealt with it, you think,
Speaker 1: you know, well, you get a psychiatrist, Okay, some help,
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very very simple version of what actually
Speaker 2: happens once you go down the road of trying to
Speaker 2: get mental health. Long.
Speaker 1: It's slow, it's complicated, everybody's got a different opinion.
Speaker 2: A lot of them suck, and some of them are
Speaker 2: just handing out pills. Right. It reminds me of people's
Speaker 2: naive belief in drug rehab treatment.
Speaker 1: Hey, thank you. Yeah, okay, you know what. I'm a matheadict,
Speaker 1: I'm a crackhead. I do trank all the time. Whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get help, and then those people get clean. Obviously, No,
Speaker 1: it's one in I don't know how many actually successfully
Speaker 1: stay sober.
Speaker 2: Very very very small, very small number. But obviously, with
Speaker 2: all of that stuff said, you can't give that kid
Speaker 2: an AR fifteen. It's just a terrible idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my kid has unbelievable explosive anger problems, and I'm
Speaker 1: having trouble connecting with them.
Speaker 2: I know what I'll do.
Speaker 1: Well if you're if you're enough, far enough down the road,
Speaker 1: far enough. I guess we're talking about Georgia. And I
Speaker 1: started talking like that, if you're far enough down the
Speaker 1: road that when there's a shooting at the school, you think,
Speaker 1: I'll bet that was my kid, then it doesn't make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: You got him a gun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So let's pay this off on a cheerier note.
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is continuing his appalling book tour as he
Speaker 1: gets ready to run for president. He was in beautiful
Speaker 1: rock Hill, South Carolina the other day, an area we
Speaker 1: know well, very close to Charlotte.
Speaker 2: I have been.
Speaker 1: That's where I went to the strip club where I
Speaker 1: saw the midgets fight the stripper.
Speaker 2: No, it was a bar. I saw. There was a
Speaker 2: slow down, sorry slow down at person rock.
Speaker 1: Hill, South Carolina, because if you went right across the
Speaker 1: river into South Carolina from Charlotte, the bars were open
Speaker 1: an extra hour, right, so I got kicked out of two.
Speaker 2: We're not done drinking, so you got to.
Speaker 1: Go to cross the line into South Carolina where the
Speaker 1: bars are still open. And I saw a couple of
Speaker 1: strippers who were off, they got downe at the strip club,
Speaker 1: came to the bar fight some little people. Was it
Speaker 1: just a barroom brawl or was it stage for the
Speaker 1: entertainment of the patrons or what?
Speaker 2: What? Now I'm remembering how it all came together. The
Speaker 2: two strippers got into a fight over a guy, and
Speaker 2: then a little person tried to break it up, which
Speaker 2: I thought, this is.
Speaker 1: Some of the most amazing entertainment I've ever seen. But
Speaker 1: then they turned on the little the little person, and
Speaker 1: then it ended up just two strippers. I think that's
Speaker 1: when I decided to leave the area. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I know how it ends.
Speaker 2: It's all but blurry. That's one of the most extraordinary
Speaker 2: things I've ever heard. It was one of those I
Speaker 2: stood there with my mouth open. Well, in the modern world,
Speaker 2: that would have you know, everybody had have had their
Speaker 2: phone out, had that on video, and that in the
Speaker 2: world would have seen.
Speaker 1: That, right, and had a joke and a song. Oh,
Speaker 1: there'd be a remix, all right. They would have become famous.
Speaker 1: They would all become influencers of some sort.
Speaker 2: Hi. You might remember me from the guy who broke
Speaker 2: up the stripper fight.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I've got to reset, emotionally, intellectually, in every way.
Speaker 1: Why don't we take a break. We'll get to Kevin
Speaker 1: who some slut shaming Kamala Harris. Sorry I distracted from
Speaker 1: the main story. Well not at all, not at all.
Speaker 2: God, I can.
Speaker 1: Still never sure. It was one of those things that
Speaker 1: was so extraordinary. I can still picture it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Interesting that the two harlots they're not fighting carlets, they're
Speaker 1: not necessarily they're dancers. I thought this was a free
Speaker 1: speech in America. I'm gonna call them marlots anyway. So
Speaker 1: the two harlots, having been at war with each other,
Speaker 1: banded together when the little person interceded in the manner
Speaker 1: of like a fighting couple turns on the cops. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every cop will tell you you go there to.
Speaker 2: Break up a couple of people fighting, then they turn
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that extended to strippers in bars. Answer
Speaker 1: a wee hours, exotic dancers, gifted exotic dancers? All right,
Speaker 1: return rock Hills, South Carolina. In a moment, pretty sure.
Speaker 1: It was like three am. I mean, that's a that's
Speaker 1: really in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, we'll get to this coming up. Stay here.
Speaker 2: The story of the guy who killed himself because his
Speaker 2: AI wife told him to.
Speaker 1: Lawsuit against Google. It's just breaking late yesterday. We got
Speaker 1: to get into more details on this. It's amazing and troubling.
Speaker 1: Speaking of amazing and troubling, a clip of Gavy Newsome
Speaker 1: that will shock and amaze both current cal Unicornians and
Speaker 1: refugees of the Great State in a moment, But first
Speaker 1: I want to pay this off. He was in the
Speaker 1: midst of his appalling book tour in rock Hills, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: calling Jack please, don't please, don't start again anyway. He
Speaker 1: said a couple of interesting things, including that he regrets
Speaker 1: nothing about his unyielding support for sleepy Joe Biden. I'll
Speaker 1: never turn my back on Joe Biden, he says, before
Speaker 1: whipping the crowd into a frenzy by speed shouting a
Speaker 1: list of Biden's alleged accomplishment and get this audio.
Speaker 2: South Carolina saved Joe Biden's political career. He was dead
Speaker 2: in the water in South Carolina rescued him. So maybe that's.
Speaker 1: Why correct and then Andrew Styles of the Free Beacon
Speaker 1: writes Alas Newsom's blind loyalty does not extend to Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris who might run against him in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 1: and he repeats my sentiments, yes, queen, please do. While
Speaker 1: recounting his early career in San Francisco politics, the governor
Speaker 1: reminded the audience pointedly that Harris got her start by
Speaker 1: sleeping with the city's former mayor, Willie Brown. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown, said Newsom with a
Speaker 1: knowing nod. Come on, now, I'd like to know if
Speaker 1: he got more specific than that.
Speaker 2: Wow, why did.
Speaker 1: He go there because she thinks she's going to challenge him?
Speaker 1: Or is she saying, you come at me and this
Speaker 1: is going to be this is on the table as
Speaker 1: a conversation.
Speaker 2: Absolutely both Yeah, and I like this again. Oh and
Speaker 2: he probably knows details. Oh yeah, ondred percent.
Speaker 1: Coming from the whole political family of San Francisco in
Speaker 1: California and being tied in with all those people, he
Speaker 1: probably knows the nitty gritty that none of us know.
Speaker 1: I've talked to high level insiders in California politics who
Speaker 1: told me at the time.
Speaker 2: It's with the joke everybody was making.
Speaker 1: Well to quote Andrew Styles and the free peeking, And
Speaker 1: I do not approof of.
Speaker 2: This at all.
Speaker 1: Quote, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown, says Newsom,
Speaker 1: who clawed his way to the top the old fashion
Speaker 1: way by having a rich and powerful dad. It's a
Speaker 1: polite way of saying Harris is a conniving whore.
Speaker 2: He got to the top of the old fashion way
Speaker 2: having a rich.
Speaker 1: And powerful dad, not sleeping with a different powerful person.
Speaker 1: All right, here you go, call Unicornians, this one is
Speaker 1: for you. You're not gonna believe it. If you're driving,
Speaker 1: pull over, if you're standing, sit please. Gavin Newsom on
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, I think last night sometimes here are people
Speaker 1: talking about California, and I wonder, like, where are they
Speaker 1: getting this?
Speaker 2: Where are they getting this?
Speaker 3: Well, Fox arrangement, I mean, it's twenty four to seven,
Speaker 3: the California de arrangement syndrome. It's through these propaganda networks
Speaker 3: focusing on what's wrong every single day. And there's an
Speaker 3: old adage you're nothing more than your consistent thoughts. Whatever
Speaker 3: you focus on, you find more of in These networks
Speaker 3: have reading honed in on California for one reason. Our
Speaker 3: success runs completely contra to their entire world view. What
Speaker 3: the fact that California is the fourth largest economy in
Speaker 3: the world, has more scientists, engineers, more Nobel laureates, the
Speaker 3: finest system of higher education, more venture capital than in
Speaker 3: the state of America.
Speaker 2: We got the TMZ tour. We got TMZ Tours. Not
Speaker 2: that we don't have problems, so we do.
Speaker 3: We have we have problems, But there's an energy and
Speaker 3: daring and an entrepreneurialism that to find.
Speaker 2: The best state. It is the best state. And you know,
Speaker 2: it's also in you know, and this is part of it.
Speaker 3: It's also the most diverse state in the United States
Speaker 3: of America. Twenty seven percent of this state farm boys.
Speaker 2: And that offends these guys. Okay, so it's jealousy and racism.
Speaker 1: Okay, the state is successful still despite just successful in
Speaker 1: the way of entrepreneurs and the big companies. You know,
Speaker 1: five of the seven biggest companies in the world are
Speaker 1: based not far from the radio station.
Speaker 2: But god dang it.
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is drive around California, drive around
Speaker 1: any of the cities and look at the tents and
Speaker 1: the people go to an emergency room. Sometime, cut your finger,
Speaker 1: slice in a bagel and go to the emergency room
Speaker 1: and see what it's like there, or take a tour
Speaker 1: of the statistics last in business environment, you know, forty
Speaker 1: seventh in literacy, awful educational numbers, highest taxes.
Speaker 2: And just goes on and on and on, like the
Speaker 2: way he goes.
Speaker 1: With a quarter of the population being foreign born is
Speaker 1: something that is clearly good.
Speaker 2: The idiot chairs price of gas.
Speaker 1: I tweeted out a picture of my gas pumped yesterday,
Speaker 1: the one hundred and fifty bucks worth of gas I
Speaker 1: put in my truck before it shut off, because it's
Speaker 1: almost six dollars a gallon.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, what.
Speaker 1: You go to?
Speaker 2: Oh man, if I start getting mopped up about.
Speaker 1: This, you go to the freaking CBS to get deodorant
Speaker 1: and you gotta get somebody with a key to.
Speaker 2: Unlock it because everything gets stolen all the time. That
Speaker 2: didn't used to be true.
Speaker 1: How can you possibly call.
Speaker 2: Yourself a success when that is happening? I know, it's astounding,
Speaker 2: isn't it. God dang it.
Speaker 1: Try to open a business in California and see how
Speaker 1: hard it is compared to anywhere else.
Speaker 2: Miles of red.
Speaker 1: Tape, enormous fees, this this smug, condescending derision of the
Speaker 1: bureaucrat who holds your faith in his greasy hands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or have your home burned down in the pas Allisades
Speaker 1: and try to rebuild it. All the headline those home
Speaker 1: owners are getting fined for not properly maintaining the vegetation
Speaker 1: on their burned out lots. Now they're getting fined by
Speaker 1: the state.
Speaker 2: At arm Farm, we got a letter from the fire department.
Speaker 1: We need to mow the weeds, and they outlawed gas mowers,
Speaker 1: so you can't buy a gas mower, but you can't
Speaker 1: get fined.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, where to even start on this?
