Speaker 1 (00:00):
A West Virginia family is grieving the loss of their
fifteen year old son after he was the victim of
sextortion and ended up taking his own life. On November sixth,
he came home from the gym ate a plate of
tacos his mom had prepared for him, and went outside
to play basketball, and then at four thirty seven he
received a text message from a strange number, and three
hours later he was found dead of a self inflicted
(00:22):
gunshot wound in his dad's home office. So his dad
told the New York Post, you know, they say it's suicide,
but in my book, it's one hundred percent murder. They
are godless demons. So after his death, a search of
his phone answered the question, you know what happened? Yeah, So,
someone posing as a seventeen year old girl local to
him had been messaging him.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
She seemed to know where.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
He worked out, talk to him like they had mutual friends.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They really built up trust. She was flirty with him.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
She sent him an explicit picture, got him to respond
with an explicit explicit photo of himself, and then they
turned around and threatened to show that pick sure to
his friends and family and demanded he send five hundred dollars.
When he told them he only had thirty bucks and
he would give them all of it. They demanded the
five hundred, and they sent him over one hundred and
(01:11):
twenty text messages in the twenty minutes before he took
his own life.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And you know, in that situation, he probably didn't want
to go to his parents for the moment.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh yeah, he was totally humiliated by what he has done.
So A representative for the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children told The New York Post that they've tracked
over thirty three thousand reports of child sextortion last year
and there are several other cases just like this one.
In twenty twenty two, a sixteen year old boy took
his own life after being a victim of the exact
(01:43):
same thing. And in that case, two men were actually
extradited from Nigeria and they were sentenced to seventeen years
in prison here in the US.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, that's got to be the lie. It's got to be.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
The hard thing is this is a worldwide thing. This
group seven six', four WHICH i had never heard of. Before,
yeah it's a child exploitation. Ring AND i mean this
is something that stretches Across, Russia, Europe.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Africa, yeah AND i guess they must be able to
get kids who have money will send it to, them
and that's how it's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Working but they go on his social.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Media they probably looked at His instagram and then they
can see where he works, Out they get all the
information about, him and then they can pose as somebody
who knows.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Him and WITH, AI i, mean that's probably making it
even more. Dangerous and that is. Murdered that's not, suicide, Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
AND i mean my son's only, thirteen but this story
was so. DISTURBING i had a conversation with him that
was a little uncomfortable yesterday and told him you won't
ever send pictures like that to.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Anybody, yeah it's a good.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Idea Transportation Secretary Sean duffy is not a role with
his ideas for improving the air travel. Experience Before, thanksgiving
he launched The Airline Civility, campaign encouraging people to help
each other out and dress up when they. Fly this,
week he held a press conference At Reagan airport to
announce a billion dollars in grants to air. Travel and
here are some of the ideas for how airports can
(03:04):

Money it might BE i want to expand the play
areas for. KIDS i want additional nursing pods for nursing.
Speaker 3 (03:12):

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Want to work out area where people might get some
blood flow and doing some pull ups or some step
ups in the. Airport.

Yeah so he AND Rfk junior did a pull up
competition in the, airport AND i mean they both did
a pretty good. Job they did ten and it was pretty.

idea of working out in the. Airport somebody, said first
he told us to wear suits and dresses when we're.
Flying now he wants us to work. OUT i wear
sweatpants to work. Out do you think he gets how
(03:43):
stupid he.

Point another person, said don't exercise at the airport and
get on the plane.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Funky yeah that was my.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
THOUGHT i, mean if somebody works out at the, airport
you're subjecting some poor passenger sitting next to them. Sweat,
yeah long flight would Be, OH i, know it's so.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Ridiculous and then somebody, said does he even know what

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Know dressing up acting a little class year at the.
AIRPORTS i thought that was a good, Message but working out, it, YEAH.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So yesterday we talked about how woke white women are
melting down Over Panton's color of The Year Cloud, dancer
which is a shade of, white and we got quite
a few comments on social, media and THE ceo Of
pantone made some interesting comments about the controversy during event
during an event. Too so here's a clip of what
(04:42):
one woman who was upset about The Cloud dancer color
choice had to say on social.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Media, Hey, pantone you're. Fired you really chose? White you
chose white in these. Times this Is Katie rogers punk.
SHUI i know the danger of that kind of mess
And i'm not having.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It, Yeah and there were a whole bunch of videos like.
That we played some of them. Yesterday, YEAH i.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Mean you would have thought that shade of white that
they chose was LIKE kkk hood color white.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Exactly so you can watch some more of that on
Our instagram and TikTok At Ryan Gorman, show and then
some of the comments we GOT i love, WHITE i
wear it a. LOT i guess that makes me racist
with like a laughing. Emoji somebody else, said everybody Buy
pantone stock, today probably because when there was backlash Against
American Eagle Yeah City sweeney and the blue jeans that
(05:34):
worked for.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Them and then another woman.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Said i'm black and this is so. Exhausting i'm tired
of everything being. Racist, well YESTERDAY i was thinking about, this,
LIKE i wonder if they did this on, purpose like
they have influencers posting to draw attention and to stir
up some. Controversy and THEN i found this clip of
THE ceo Of pantone addressing all of.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It and by the, way she's a black. Woman by the, way.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
We knew that people would have emotions about this year's
color WHEN i first started the color THAT i thought
that this is going to be pretty. Controversial but the
power of this, program the power of Pant Holes color
of The, year is that its parks a, conversation a
conversation about color that everyone can participate in that pant.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Home we don't dictate that, conversation we.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Facilitated.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah so every year they put out This color of
The year and sometimes it's like a random.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Green or a, blue or you, know it's always some.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Color and it seems like now all of a, sudden
like she, said they picked a color because they knew
it was going to stir things.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Up.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
There, yeah two, problems the fact that that's even a
thought process for a, company that we're going to pick
a color because we think it will stir up a
racial debate in this. Country and second of all that
it does.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
THAT i know well and.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Wrong, WELL i wonder is this now going to be
a pr thing because we've seen with all these companies
the backlash elevates the.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Message, RIGHT i DIDN'T i gotta be, HONEST i didn't
know what pantone was until this whole.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Thing, yeah it's all the paint. Colors. RIGHT a drone
attempting to deliver all.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Kinds of goodies to inmates at A South carolina jail
was intercepted by the jail security and the pictures have gone. Viral,
now this was quite the Early christmas. Gift all the
makings of an old fashioned crab boil king, krablegs, Steak Old,
bay two cartons Of Lucky strike And Marlborough mental.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Cigarettes two big.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Bags weed of, course and the food was purchased from
A Pigly, wiggly the closest one about eighty miles from the,
jail so they're trying to track down who sent the.
Drone the communications director for The South Carolina department Of
corrections Told The New York, Post we're guessing the inmates
were a bit crabby after they confiscated their care. Package
(07:49):
she also said that drone deliveries into prison yards have
become such an issue that they have an entire team
dedicated to.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
This twenty four to.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Seven that's, Interesting, yeah it's totally. Crazy she said that
some of the drones can carry up to thirty pounds of,
cargo and the drones are usually carrying cell, phones meth
and other.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Drugs so this one was weird because it was the meat.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And Everything king crambl a Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Bay and she said that some people who are sending
these drones in are disguising, them so they'll put grass
over the top of them so that they kind of
blend in when they land in the, yard or that
they put like paper like garbage on. Tips when it,
lands it looks like it's just trash sitting there and
doesn't draw. Attention but it's really insane the links that
(08:37):
they're going. Through i'm wondering if they're going to start
putting like some type of.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
A netting melting yeah yard to keep the drones.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Out, yeah that makes.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Sense, BOY i had no idea this was such a,
thing but, they like you, said they've got a whole
team dedicated to dealing with this.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Crazy long term pot smoking and young people is apparently
leading to a condition known as cannabis hyperomesis, syndrome a
debilitating condition that causes relentless, nausea stomach, pain and severe,
vomiting and something now known as, scramating which is screaming
and vomiting at the same.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Time it's.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Horrifying one twenty three year old Told The New York
post she's been smoking her weed pen multiple times a
day since she was. Sixteen she ended up in the
hospital when she weighed eighty seven pounds and needed a
feeding tube because the condition got so, bad.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And even then she still wanted to. Smoke she couldn't.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Quit she said there were some days when it lasted
until noon AND i wouldn't be able to go to.
School she, Said i'd be puking all. Morning and THEN
i would scream because nothing would come. OUT i was
just dry.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Heaving oh my, god just take a.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Gummy, YEAH i, MEAN i don't. Know this sounds, Horrifying,
yeah it. Does and a lot of young people have
shown up in ers suffering from. This doctors have been
misdiagnosing them with crones and colitis and all kinds of other.
Conditions but now they're seeing more and more of this
and realizing quickly that it's the pot.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Smoking, yeah or maybe it's just the pot.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Product, maybe LIKE i don't, know maybe a gummy or
a brownie can do that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Too like with, theory it seems to be from the
smoking mostly is what's. Happening but, yeah they're still trying
to kind of figure out exactly why it's now happening
because this is like a new. Thing so they say
it's likely happening in younger people because they're smoking, more
they start, younger so the younger you, start the worst
it can, be and that the products now have such high.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Potency.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yeah what stood out to me is that this is
called C, hs which also stands For Central High. School
that's WHERE i went to high, school and going To
Central High school also triggers waves of, nausea stomach, pain
and nonstyle, vomiting SO i thought that was.
Speaker 3 (10:40):

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
