Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:20):
My name is Ethan Hatcher.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That's Jerry Lopez also filling in, and you can follow
him at Indy Spanglish. And recently you've launched a YouTube podcast,
haven't you what's that all about?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I have I have So it's me and my good
friend Brian Alvi, just two guys chopping it up. It's
called those ash ash Holes. I make sure I spell
that in the middle there because it's a little bit
different when you're on the radio.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Can't have any slips, no, yeah, no, FCC would not
be very very happy with that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But you can say whatever you want on podcasts.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
There you go. Yeah, we we have a great interview
coming out today. It's Layman Brewster X Heavyweight Champion from Indianapolis.
Last guy to knockout Vladimir Clips Go, okay, we interviewed him,
but just chopping it up. We release it every week
and yeah on YouTube, come find us.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, give him a follow, give him a like.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Speaking of Hoosier icons, we recently had a Hoosier icon.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Pass away at the age of eighty five.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Of course, I'm referring to personal injury attorney Ken Nunn.
I'm sure most people in the listening audience and also
in the surrounding broadcasting regions are familiar with Ken Nunn.
How many people have seen his commercials over the years, Jerry,
He's most people might know his number by heart. Yeah,
he was pretty ubiquitous as well. But here was Wish
TV making the report of his passing, which happened on
(01:36):
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Ken Nun, a prominent personal injury lawyer based here in Indiana,
has died at eighty five. His law office confirmed his
death in a statement on social media. His cause of
death has not been released. None died sometime in the
morning of Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
He survived by his.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Son and daughter, David and Vicki, and his two grandkids,
Katie and Jimmy. None, a familiar face commercials and on
billboards spotted across the state, was described as tough, smart,
and incredibly organized.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Goodbye, old friend, May the folks be with you.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And I mean an incredible hard work or two. I
think he was working right up until his passing away
at age eighty five, and that's something I think anybody
can aspire to.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Whatever his cause of death was.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean, it's got to be natural causes, Jerry. If
you're passing away at eighty five, you've lived a pretty rich,
ripe life, especially one like his, very successful life.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Very successful part of the community. Don't didn't know him
as a person, but you don't stay in business that
long without doing it right, I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Think Yeah, yeah, I mean I didn't know him as
a person either, but I think everybody knows him from
his ubiquitous commercials. How many times, like I used to
fall asleep to this watching TV in the early hours
of the morning when I was visiting my dad growing up.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You're driving along in twan just like that got hits you.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'm attorney Ken Nun. If you've been hurt in a
car wreck, call me.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I'll start working on your case today.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's easy to call Ken Nun.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's hard to get you the money you deserve.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Just call me.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
When you get hurt in the car wreck, you just
pick up the phone and call ken Nunn.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's just that easy. Just call me.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I'll take care of everything, and I'll work hard to
get you every dollar you deserve.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Hurt in the car wreck, I'm attorney ken Nun.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Call me.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's just that easy. And he was a good friend.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That was the first thing that I thought of, you know,
when I saw the report that he'd passed away, And
who's going to get me all the money I deserve? Now,
I'll get you all the money you deserve, Kyle ken Nun.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's good stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I mean, look, regardless of what you feel about the
personal injury field, because some of them call them ambulance chasers,
and it could be a cutthroat industry, but so is
lawyering in general. He was a successful Hoosier anybody who
starts a small business, I mean he grew it into
a respectable, I believe, national firm where it's not just
the Indiana region that he was covering, but multiple other
(03:54):
states as well. Familiar with the face and the voice
of Ken Nunn, the personal injury attorney.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Take me back to my childhood, unsolved mysteries and can none.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then I also, of course, I was doing some
research doing the show prep for this morning, and came
across a blooper real from those commercials, and it shows
you that there's a lighthearted side to this guy, and
then also shows you the hard work that goes on
behind the scenes for any broadcasting job, whether it's making
commercials or recording audio here on the radio. You know,
(04:27):
there are slip ups like this all the time. And
I thought it was good, especially since he's passed away,
just to see a lighter side of Ken Nunn and
hear that this was humorous to me.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Am, I I'm supposed to start it right there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Just call me. Let's go, let's get started. I stumbled
on that it'll go a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
If you've been hurt in a car wreck, stop worrying
about your car wreck.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Call me right now. See you catch me off guard.
I mean I'm still waiting, all right. Oh yeah, I
got to say something now.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
If you are a loved one took the drug a cutane,
I said there, call me right now. You may be
entitled to financial compensation set.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Why do I do this?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I always said, sleep better tonight. It is creepy.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Okay, don't just say no to a tiny check, say no, way.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Your choice.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And then flip them off. Oh we shouldn't have said there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But behind the scenes of Ken Nun's commercial production, so yeah,
it's not all smooth sailing. But you know, when you
have such a storied career and so many different commercials,
you're gonna have bloopers like that. And I think it's
it's fun to see the behind the scenes to a
hard working guy like Ken Nunn. Again, the level of
success that he as a business person, a small business
(06:05):
person in Indiana Hoosier obtained. Anybody would want to achieve
that level of success, and you have to be a
hard worker to get there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, and to be such a member of the community, right,
you can't burn your own brand and stay in town
that long without doing it right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Absolutely, And to be, like you said, well known and
then well respected, you've got to be doing something right.
And so, passing away at the age of eighty five,
he will be missed, survived by his son, by his daughter,
who I'm sure will do everything they can to carry
on his legacy and continue representing people in their personal
(06:42):
injury claims very well, and make sure you get all
the money you need, all the money you deserve. Thanks
for listening to the Kendall MKC show, Ethan Hatcher and
Jerry Lopez filling in. Stay tuned for more on ninety
three WIBC. Jerry Stami, if you've heard this one before,
violent repeat, criminal offender, let loose to reoffend on society
(07:04):
and grievously injures an innocent person. Why do we keep
hearing this story on repeat? Doesn't matter the city, it's
over and over and over again. If it's a Democrat
run municipality, you have these violent offenders that are let
loose on society and attack.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The innocent again and again and again. And I'm sick
of it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah. I think when you go back to it, it's
the like no Bell projects. And remember when the Summer
of Love was going on and you had all these
different NGOs out here trying to bail people out. There
are no repercussions for people's crimes. They command and they're
not afraid of the law anymore. And when you have
prosecutors like the one we have in this city in Indianapolis.
They know they're gonna, Okay, you're gonna put on handcuffs,
(07:46):
you're going to take a picture, You're going to be
out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This just happened December fifth in Seattle, and we've gotten
more footage of this terrible attack. A violent repeat offender
by the name of falle Peia, forty two years old,
arrested very shortly after the attack outside of a King
County courthouse by the Sheriff's Department who was near the
courthouse at the time of the attack. And listen to
(08:11):
the way that they talk about this this repeat offender,
because he was known to the law enforcement community. This
unfortunately was not news to them. But the woman he
attacked is going to have to carry this injury with
her for the rest of her life. Blinded or Jerry,
this is sick. It's just before noon.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
On December fifth outside the King County Courthouse in Seattle.
That's seventy five year old Jeannette Markin standing on the
corner and police say, this is Folly Paya walking up
with a stick in his hand, when out of nowhere
he attacks her. Jeanette is knocked to the ground bystanders
take a picture of the suspect, then rush to help Jeanette.
The full scope of what happened wasn't clear yet. Police
(08:48):
arrested Paya a block away and found the weapon this
wooden board with a screw through the end of it.
Police say that screw went through Jeanette's eye.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He's a vegular. He usually guess.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
Today he decides to escalate things way worse than his usual.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
Where is he?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
He's just jumping down there as paramedics racer to the hospital.
It becomes obvious police, no folly, pay a well, anxiety.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's been a search right now?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah you know him?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Oh, he's notorious for random assaults.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
After court record show Paya had multiple prior convictions for assault,
including stabbing someone eight times at a party.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh that was horrible, it's you're horrible. You're your name
of a monster. Who what took you so long? Idiot?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So we heard from two separate law enforcement officers there,
one where he said, oh, well, he's a regular, he
usually punches, and the others that, oh, yeah, he's known
for random assaults walking up and down Third Street. If
you are known for random assaults, you should probably know
not probably you should definitely be in prison far away
from civil society. What what his He's gotten so screwed
(10:00):
up with our priorities, Jerry, I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It ended with he also stabs somebody at a party.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, this guy, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
How many who does he have to kill before they
put him in jail?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, and now he blinded this woman. I mean a
totally random attack.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And do you see the escalation he usually punches. He
stabs somebody to party. Now he hit a lady in
the face with a club that had a nail in it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, just what's next? Yeah, just a loose board and
punctured her eye. And she's gonna have to carry that
because I mean, you know, she's lost vision out of
that eye permanently, Gonna have to carry that for the
rest of her life. And her family brought up an
excellent point. She didn't know that she wasn't allowed to
be around Third Street near this guy. She just minding
her own business walking the street. It's not incumbent upon
(10:44):
civilians to be aware of where these criminal freaks are
wandering around the city. It's in comment on law enforcement officers,
on city officials to keep law law in order to
keep the civil society safe and protected.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And it goes back to the conversation we had to
lead maybe the second segment. If the National Guard is
on the street, this probably doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, And it's moments like this.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's things like this that are going to force that
that to.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Be the case.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is a concept and we're going to talk about
this a little bit later in the show. But it's
known as a narco tyranny, and the anarchy is where
law and the law enforcement is not directed towards repeat
offenders and violent of criminals, but then it is enacted
to punish law abiding citizens, to restrict your freedom of movement,
to restrict your freedom of speech, to restrict your ability
(11:35):
to live and interact in civil society, but then leave
these people completely untouched. That's an arco tyranny. It's a
completely unbalanced system and it's one that we are unfortunately
falling victim too, because of this mentality that a lot
of leftist judges, prosecutors, and city officials have when it
comes to these recidivus, repeat offenders. And then now already
(11:59):
his public defender is singing the song of a mental incompetency. Well,
he's not fit to stand trial. If you're not fit
to stand trial, if you do not understand the difference
between right or wrong, you should be locked away in
a padded cell and kept away from civil society.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Not released.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's not an excuse to release the person, or not
an excuse not to hold him accountable. If anything, it
should be a higher degree of accountability, because this is
somebody who's criminally insane, who doesn't have the mental capacity
to understand the harm and the devastation that he inflicts
on others. And I'll get this, Jerry. It gets even better.
He identifies as transgender. Listen to the public defender.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Dween fifteen, d you where's char.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Public defender Kevin Robinson was quick to bring up fall
a pay as long history of mental incompetence. This morning,
I have work.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Goodness pay at briefly with war and I reviewed the
history and compactness she's had with both in mental health
and the system under a long history of findings.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of a competence and the sentims that have been noted
for I served personally today.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Although charging documents don't mention pay us mental health, they
show pay us long history with the justice system it reads, quote,
the defendant has a prior conviction for assault in the
second degree in twenty eleven. Defendant also has misdemeanor convictions
for assault in twenty twenty four, four times in twenty
twenty three, and once in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I am shocked, shocked, well not that shocked.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And it's not just him, it's people like de Carlos
Brown who remember stabbed Arena Zarutzka on the train there
outside of.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Charlottesville. Charlottesville, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Had the guy that set the woman on fire in Chicago,
and that judge said, I couldn't, I couldn't. We can't
lock up everybody. That's literally what she said, We can't
lock up everywhere. And Mayor Brandon Johnson comes out and says,
we can't lock our we can't arrest our way out
of this.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We don't expect you to lock up everybody. See, that's
such a conflation. Eli Salvador would completely disagree.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, well, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They have had success in driving down the murder rate
in El Salvador by enforcing the law. They've had success
in New York City. This was something I was going
to report on in this segment. Crime plummeted by sixty
five percent in Washington Square Park after the NYPD kicked
off a twenty four to seven crackdown at the Greenwich
Village landmark, targeting dealers, junkies, and scoff laws. According to
(14:23):
new data, is anybody shocked that when you enforce the law,
crime decreases.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It shouldn't be a shock. This should be common sense.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I don't. It's sad that we have to take back
our streets and our streets. This is not Republican Democrat nobody.
I don't ask your political affiliation when I walk past
you down the street, nor do I care. I just
expect you to act like a respectful person and go
about your way.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well and expecting society to be reasonably free and clear
of violent random assaults. I don't think is a high
barre to set. It shouldn't be a high bar to
set In the United States of America, When we could drop.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
A missile through a window to hit you on the
toilet and not ruin the rest of your house, we
sure as hell can clean up Circle City.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Elsewhere in the country. Another woman fell victim to these
violent repeat offenders. This was forty year old Antonio Moore,
who randomly stabbed a woman to death, sixty five year
old at the Barnes and Noble in Florida in Palm
Beach on eight pm this past Monday, Monday, the twenty second.
The victim Rita long Rich. She unfortunately passed away as
(15:27):
a result of her injuries. And once again, this is
somebody who was known to law enforcement, who had an
extensive criminal history, who was let back loose on society
to reoffend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And we cannot.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This experiment of attempting to sympathize and empathize with the
assailants over the victims has been nothing short of an
abject failure. We cannot continue to live this way, Jerry, I.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Mean imagine being the Well, first of all, this lady died,
which sucks, right, It's a bit excusable, a random attack
by a psychopath, known psychopath. Yeah. Even the public defender
in the case you talked about out of Seattle goes, yeah,
I know this guy. What do you think the cops
are thinking? Yeah, even the public defenders like, I don't
know what you want to do with this guy.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, the cops said that they knew him. Oh yeah,
he's a regular. He usually usually punches, but it's escalated.
He walks up and down Third Street and has been
convicted of multiple assaults.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Why are you not in jail? Why are you not
in prison?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
If that's your mom and she's in the hospital blind,
how does that help you?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What? And here's the even worst part. And it sucks
because she does deserve something, But you can't assume this
guy he doesn't have anything either.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, I mean, at the end of the day, you
have to hold these city officials responsible. You have to
hold the elected officers in the community, these judges, these prosecutors,
the elected officials, the mayors, the people who are hamstringing
law enforcement from doing their jobs at that any but
he reasonably expects them to accomplish. And I'm sure the
(17:02):
police officers would love to be in a position where, yeah,
this guy is thrown away. But all the police officers
can do is arrest. They're not in the court orrap.
They're not in the courtroom, they're not doing the prosecuting.
All they can do is just, you know, capture this
guy and then expect the other elements of the system
to step in and do what we expect them to do.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
In a civil society.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
So this is a guy that went by female pronouns, right,
he identified as trades. So if this was my family
member in a first of its time, first ever, I
would sue for his pronouns. You are now he him
he lost them well.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And also, if you're mentally incompetent to stand trial, how
are you mentally competent to identify your gender?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Why is that not a symptom if you don't know
your own gender. If you know your own gender, you're
probably not competent to stand trial.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
There we go, you know, And if you're not competent
to stand trial, then you should be kept away. You
should be locked in a padded cell. In some ways,
this is an indictment of Ronald Reagan, who you know,
famously closed down the mental asylums and the institutions, and
guess there were horrible abuses that went on in those places,
but they needed to be reformed, not removed, because the
(18:11):
alternative of where law enforcement is now having to do
the dirty work of what used to be the mental
health care system in the United States again is not working,
and sending in social workers is not the solution to
these violent repeat offenders who are victimizing innocent, random civilians
across the United States. There are dozens and dozens and
(18:33):
dozens of these stories. We could literally do probably an
entire show if we wanted to dig up all the data,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Instead of just one segment on it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But here's at least three different offenders and three different
municipalities that we've talked about with extensive criminal histories that
were let loose to reoffend.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, and I think it just goes to show how
much we really should appreciate the police officers in all
these towns who aren't getting the support that they need
from local prossecut The.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Lunatics are running the asylum, and you know, you have
that data coming out of Washington Square Park in New
York City. But get ready, Maal, because you're going to
be in for a problem when mom Donnie takes control
just in a couple of weeks. Actually, I believe he's
assuming office at the beginning of January, and now the
lunatics are really going to be running the asylum down there,
and you don't think that he has any intention of
(19:22):
enforcing law and order.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If anything is going to get worse.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You had that woman that was already set on fire
in the subway, and Governor Kathy Hokle had to deploy
something that we were talking about earlier in the show,
had to deploy the National Guard just to keep citizens safe.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Why did you have to deploy the national Guard?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Because local elected Democrat officials are not enforcing basic law
and order with the tools that they have at this
at their disposal, and ANARCO tyranny squarely victimizes the innocent
and then rewards criminal offenders.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yep, that's it. I mean, it's it'll be interest and
to see how it goes down in New York City.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, and then elsewhere we have problems and get ready
here in Fort Wayne, they're having issues. This was a
report from Wayne about a homeless encampment along let's see
River Greenway trail that has now overflowed into the trail
and trash accumulating beneath local Veterans Memorial Bridge. You know,
(20:26):
get ready for more assaults to happen in that area
if they don't cleaned it up in short order. This
reporting coming from W A and E.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
The Wayne fifteen viewers reached out to us about a
homeless encampment taking over the river Greenway trail. Is this
what our camera's found. People there tell us they've been
working to clean it up since seven in the morning,
and police are aware of the situation. This also comes
after Mayor Talker wrote a letter to city council about
a new homeless shelter being a priority. You can read
the mayor's letter and council's response right now on Wayne
dot com. Wayne fifteen did reach out to the city
(20:55):
for a response. They say multiple city departments are actively
checking on the situation and we'll respond and accordingly, protocol
requires at seventy two hour notice to be posted before
the site can be cleaned.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
M I out of here, Get.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Him out here.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
If you're breaking the law, there shouldn't have to be
a notice. It should the response should be absolutely immediate.
If you know about the problem, that's not enough. You
gotta do something about the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And once you know about it, irresponsible for it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's all we expect.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Thanks for listening to WIBC. This is the Kennel and
Casey Show with Ethan and Jerry a filling in. Stay tuned.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Thanks for listening to WIBC. This is the Kendall and
case Show. Ethan Hatcher from Saturday Night on The Circle
and Jerry Lopez at Indie Spanglish on the Twitter Machine
filling in today for Kendall and Casey. One topic that
we've discussed a little bit in the last segment, Jerry,
but I wanted to dive in more in this segment
is the concept of a narco tyranny.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Have you ever heard of that before, not specifically.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
This is a fairly recent concept that was first introduced
by a conservative commentator by the name of Samuel Francis,
who defined the condition as a combination of oppressive government
power against the innocence and the law abiding, while simultaneously
a grotesque paralysis of the ability or will to use
that power carrying out basic public duties such as protection
(22:59):
or public safety. It is characteristic of an arco tyranny
that it not only fails to punish criminals and enforce
legitimate order, but also criminalizes the innocent, and in this respect,
its failures bring the country or important parts of it
close to a state of anarchy. That semblance of anarchy
is coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under
(23:20):
which innocent, law abiding citizens are punished by the state
or suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at
the hands of the state. Francis identified the punishment of
the non compliant as the real purpose of the tyranny component,
and one of the aspects that we've seen an ARCO
tyranny in action from the states are issuing the cdl's
(23:43):
commercial driver's license to illegal aliens who can't read the language,
who don't know the traffic laws, and putting them behind
the wheels of multi ton dangerous eighteen wheel rigs. This
is a problem, Jerry, and it's resulted in multiple fatalities
across the country in California, yeah, in Florida, in Arizona,
in other communities as well. This is a problem and
(24:05):
we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
A lot of truckers come down from Canada that are
causing a lot of these issues. And how many times
have you seen one of these guys try to bust
a UI in a big rig and it ends up
killing you know, three card loads of people.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, because they pull the entire trailer across all lanes
of traffic and there's no way, there's no way to
escape it. If you are traveling at you know, seventy
miles an hour and this happens anywhere close to you,
you don't have the mechanical breaking time. Even if you
respond in an adequate amount of time, there just is
because of how physics works, you're not going to be
(24:39):
able to stop in time. And a Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,
who is a wonderful relief compared to old Pete Buddha
judge who was I didn't realize how important these transportation
secretary was until Pete Buddha Judge came along, because hot damn,
you recognized what it was like when we had a bad.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Transportation secretary behind.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Now Sean Duffy putting a stop to a lot of
that and is now threatening Colorado with removing over twenty
five million dollars of federal funding if they don't get
their CDL licenses into compliance. Almost twenty two percent of
the CDLs in the state are for illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Jerry, this is nuts. And this is in Colorado, right, Yeah,
that's in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
So I knew I had heard something like this recently
New York City, New York. They said, out of thirty
two thousand of these CDLs, close to seventeen hundred or
excuse me, seventeen thousand, we're given to people that should
never even have them.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Geez. So that's almost half. That's even worse than Colorado.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, Secretary Duffy needs to start cracking down in short order,
which is what he's threatening to do.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And they're vowed, and they're vowed for eight years in
New York.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
This according to Fox News.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Heus in Colorado of slow walking the purge of illegal CDLs.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Duffy's saying every day that goes by is another day unqualified,
unvetted for and truckers are justizing the safety of you
and your family. He's threatening to pull twenty four million
dollars in highway funds from Colorado if the state does
not act quickly.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Do it, absolutely, do it immediately. If you are endangering
the lives of citizens by giving it to unqualified drivers,
then your federal funding should be removed. You should not
be empowered and enabled to further endanger the lives of citizens.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean, I'll take it a step further. If you're
not willing to uphold just the laws of this country,
you should be impeached, no matter what you are. I'm
so tired of hearing a governor decide that, oh, this
is a sanctuary state. Now you don't have to follow
the immigration policy in my state, or we'll give you this,
or we're not going to work with Department of Homeland
on a federal detainer for this guide for some political
uphold the laws and that's your job.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You also mentioned, yeah, the sanctuary states. It's amazing the
selectiveness that these states want to have on which crimes
they want to prosecute, which crimes they don't want to prosecute,
what laws they want to follow, what laws they don't
want to follow, And while simultaneously they're flouting federal immigration
law by declaring their states sanctuary cities or sanctuary states
(27:10):
and giving shelter to illegal immigrants who are breaking the law,
they also want to give due process as a means
to prevent the law from being enforced against these illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's been a lot of hand ringing about.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh, well, you need to make sure that all these
legal immigrants have due process in the court system, when
they understand there's more than fifteen million illegal immigrants. If
you covered three a day, there's more than the six
hundred immigration judges in the country, so that's eighteen hundred
a day. It would still take more than one hundred
years to process all of these cases in the government
(27:44):
that we currently have established, it's not possible, something that
the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Stephen Miller made very
clear and he's spot on on this.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Jerry, I just wish we.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Lived in a country with a media gave one tenth
damn as much about Americans who were murdered and brutalized
and savagely killed, beaten to death as it did about
whether illegal aliens. That we all agree our illegal aliens
should get a million days in court and a million trials.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And a million this and a million that.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
There's fifteen million illegal aliens that violators of the country.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
If every one of.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Them got the trial that you're asking for, it would
take US centuries to remove them. Centuries. We'd be talking
about this in three four hundred years.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
They're great great great grandchildren were.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
The ones representing them in court.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's how long it would take.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Illegal aliens who come to our country have to be
removed and they have to quickly, and that as an
essential component of having something that we like to call
a country.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If you have already stepped over due process by violating
immigration law, you should not be afforded due process. You
should be deported immediately. Do not pass go, do not
collect two hundred dollars. This shouldn't be complicated, It shouldn't
be compsal.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It goes to a bigger question. Yeah, we have rights
from the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. But does
that apply to anybody that's stepping on this ground, Like
do you walk over from Mexico or come over on
a boat from Ghane or wherever illegally and all of
a sudden you have the right to bear arms, You
have the right to everything.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, they don't have the right to bear arms.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The Supreme Court recently ruled that if you have already
violated a federal immigration law, then it is reasonable to
deprive that person who has already violated the law the
rights of the Second Amendment that would be afforded to
law abiding United States citizens.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
If you can take the second, you can take the rest.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yes, yes, it is laying the groundwork there. And absolutely again,
if you were violating the law, you should not be
afforded the protections of the law. This seems pretty simple.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And why should I pay to adjudicate all these cases?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Well, the American taxpayers are going to pay for seventeen
million individual cases to get out all these illegals.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
This is the state of a narco tyranny where the
law breakers are being protected but the law abiders are
being punished. Is the core concept of the last two
segments that we've discussed. And it's not just the United
States that is doing this, Jerry, it's other states as well.
You see it starting to happen in the United Kingdom
in Australia where now they're going to punish people for
(30:19):
exercising their speech. They are punishing hate speech in the
wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, as opposed to
going after violent Islamists who are endangering the lives of
their citizens. And this is very scary stuff. This is
a narco tyranny in action, Jerry.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
The National Security Investigations Teams are a flying squad of
hate disruptors who focus on high harm, high impact, politically
motivated violence, communal violence, and hate crimes that don't meet
the threshold for terrorism investigations that we know drive fear
and division. This is all about stopping hate and division
(30:58):
earlier and well before or it leads to violence. So far,
this crack squad has charged fourteen individuals across thirteen investigations,
and of those, four individuals across four operations were charged
for offenses relating to anti Semitism. The teams were responsible
for a recent week long national blips on the distribution
and display of prohibited symbols. The announcement today to boost
(31:22):
the numbers of our hate disruptors, as well as planned
changes to lower the threshold for hate speech, will make
it easier for the AFP to take action quicker.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Most because can you see it's the speech that needs
to be lower.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
The expectation for hate speech. Well, you see what they're
doing in the UK. They will show up to your
house and lock you up because your social media posts
a fitted somebody.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, if you rape a woman, you can be let
loose because you're just a victim of the culture. But
you know, if you post a meme on social media
that's seen by thirty people, then you know you can
be sent to jail in six months. Something that are
four six months, something that actually happened over there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, it happens pretty often. I mean did simple Google search?
Man arrested for social media post will give you everything you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Need far too often.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And if it weren't for the Constitution, this would already
be in full effect.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
We're not talking about that Rocco or Thoughty Ray. This
is in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
This is in London and in Australia, and they're doing
their damnedst to bring it here to the United States
as well. Thanks for listening to The Kendall and k
C Show. Coming up next. It seems that Amazon has
made a pretty interesting alteration to a beloved Christmas classic.
Is it an insidious change or are they trying to
(32:38):
skirt copyright law? We'll explain more about that coming up next,
so stay tuned. Welcome back to The Kendall and k
C Show with Ethan and Jerry filling in. Jerry, this
was an article that you shared with me. Apparently, now
Amazon is coming after It's a Wonderful Life.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
What's this all about?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah, it looks like they're just really trying to save
a little bit of money, honestly. But they cut out
a very famous people noticed. People noticed, Yeah, well, I mean,
it's the whole emotional heart of the film.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's the whole point of the film.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Where he discovers that his life has meaning and value
because he sees what the world would be without that,
and they cut I guess, a twenty two minute part
of the film. And yeah, apparently, according to what is
the University of Connecticut, this is not a creative choice
by Amazon. I think many people took it personally because
this is a beloved Christmas classic for a lot of people.
(33:27):
But it's not a creative choice from them, Like you said,
They're just trying to save a little bit of money
because of the tangled copyright status of the movie. This
dates all the way back to nineteen seventy four, when
the distributor failed to renew the movie's copyright and allowed
it to elapse into the public domain. Ironically, allowing that
to happen is what elevated the movie to the beloved
(33:50):
status that it has today, because it was a commercial
flop upon initial release. Ye and getting too broadcast it
on broadcast television is what made it go into a
Christmas classic. But although the distributor allowed the copyright to elapse,
the story that it is based on still has copyright
(34:10):
as well as the soundtrack, So it is more of
a logistics choice to snip out the portion that is
most directly tied to the short story on which it
is based that they removed in order so that way
they don't got to shell out some extra shekels.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, it says.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Legal experts believe this edited version appears to be a
workaround to the copyright, so by removing that specific sequence
distributors that believe they could avoid infringing on any of
the short stories copyright while also offering a short version
of the film.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I do think it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Would behoove Amazon to probably make some sort of announcement
about this, because so far they haven't chose to comment.
And when you allow the public to make their own conclusions,
then yeah, I think they're going to especially with such
a love movie and such a strange choice, they're going
to infer something pernicious going on there.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah. I think most people are worried about anything that's
edited these days.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, absolutely, But yeah, it appears just to be a
copyright issue. But still definitely watch the whole version of
that film. It's much better. Thanks for listening to The
Kendall and k C Show on ninety three WIBC. Stay
tuned our three coming up next.
Welcome back to the Kendall and KC Show, Hour two
of the program. You can find the podcasts uploaded to
WIBC dot com. That's also where I upload my podcasts
for my show Saturday Night on the Circle, as well
as my personal podcasting page Saturday Night on Thecircle, dot
Fireside dot fm, and you can listen to me Saturday
seven to nine pm.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
My name is Ethan Hatcher.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That's Jerry Lopez also filling in, and you can follow
him at Indy Spanglish. And recently you've launched a YouTube podcast,
haven't you what's that all about?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I have I have So it's me and my good
friend Brian Alvi, just two guys chopping it up. It's
called those ash ash Holes. I make sure I spell
that in the middle there because it's a little bit
different when you're on the radio.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Can't have any slips, no, yeah, no, FCC would not
be very very happy with that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But you can say whatever you want on podcasts.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
There you go. Yeah, we we have a great interview
coming out today. It's Layman Brewster X Heavyweight Champion from Indianapolis.
Last guy to knockout Vladimir Clips Go, okay, we interviewed him,
but just chopping it up. We release it every week
and yeah on YouTube, come find us.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, give him a follow, give him a like.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Speaking of Hoosier icons, we recently had a Hoosier icon.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Pass away at the age of eighty five.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Of course, I'm referring to personal injury attorney Ken Nunn.
I'm sure most people in the listening audience and also
in the surrounding broadcasting regions are familiar with Ken Nunn.
How many people have seen his commercials over the years, Jerry,
He's most people might know his number by heart. Yeah,
he was pretty ubiquitous as well. But here was Wish
TV making the report of his passing, which happened on
(01:36):
Christmas Eve.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Ken Nun, a prominent personal injury lawyer based here in Indiana,
has died at eighty five. His law office confirmed his
death in a statement on social media. His cause of
death has not been released. None died sometime in the
morning of Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
He survived by his.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Son and daughter, David and Vicki, and his two grandkids,
Katie and Jimmy. None, a familiar face commercials and on
billboards spotted across the state, was described as tough, smart,
and incredibly organized.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Goodbye, old friend, May the folks be with you.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And I mean an incredible hard work or two. I
think he was working right up until his passing away
at age eighty five, and that's something I think anybody
can aspire to.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Whatever his cause of death was.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean, it's got to be natural causes, Jerry. If
you're passing away at eighty five, you've lived a pretty rich,
ripe life, especially one like his, very successful life.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Very successful part of the community. Don't didn't know him
as a person, but you don't stay in business that
long without doing it right, I don't.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Think Yeah, yeah, I mean I didn't know him as
a person either, but I think everybody knows him from
his ubiquitous commercials. How many times, like I used to
fall asleep to this watching TV in the early hours
of the morning when I was visiting my dad growing up.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You're driving along in twan just like that got hits you.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
I'm attorney Ken Nun. If you've been hurt in a
car wreck, call me.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I'll start working on your case today.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's easy to call Ken Nun.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's hard to get you the money you deserve.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Just call me.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
When you get hurt in the car wreck, you just
pick up the phone and call ken Nunn.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's just that easy. Just call me.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
I'll take care of everything, and I'll work hard to
get you every dollar you deserve.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
It's just that easy.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Hurt in the car wreck, I'm attorney ken Nun.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Call me.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It's just that easy. And he was a good friend.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That was the first thing that I thought of, you know,
when I saw the report that he'd passed away, And
who's going to get me all the money I deserve? Now,
I'll get you all the money you deserve, Kyle ken Nun.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's good stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I mean, look, regardless of what you feel about the
personal injury field, because some of them call them ambulance chasers,
and it could be a cutthroat industry, but so is
lawyering in general. He was a successful Hoosier anybody who
starts a small business, I mean he grew it into
a respectable, I believe, national firm where it's not just
the Indiana region that he was covering, but multiple other
(03:54):
states as well. Familiar with the face and the voice
of Ken Nunn, the personal injury attorney.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Take me back to my childhood, unsolved mysteries and can none.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then I also, of course, I was doing some
research doing the show prep for this morning, and came
across a blooper real from those commercials, and it shows
you that there's a lighthearted side to this guy, and
then also shows you the hard work that goes on
behind the scenes for any broadcasting job, whether it's making
commercials or recording audio here on the radio. You know,
(04:27):
there are slip ups like this all the time. And
I thought it was good, especially since he's passed away,
just to see a lighter side of Ken Nunn and
hear that this was humorous to me.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Right.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Am, I I'm supposed to start it right there.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Just call me. Let's go, let's get started. I stumbled
on that it'll go a little bit.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
If you've been hurt in a car wreck, stop worrying
about your car wreck.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Call me right now. See you catch me off guard.
I mean I'm still waiting, all right. Oh yeah, I
got to say something now.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
If you are a loved one took the drug a cutane,
I said there, call me right now. You may be
entitled to financial compensation set.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Why do I do this?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I always said, sleep better tonight. It is creepy.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Okay, don't just say no to a tiny check, say no, way.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Your choice.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
And then flip them off. Oh we shouldn't have said there.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But behind the scenes of Ken Nun's commercial production, so yeah,
it's not all smooth sailing. But you know, when you
have such a storied career and so many different commercials,
you're gonna have bloopers like that. And I think it's
it's fun to see the behind the scenes to a
hard working guy like Ken Nunn. Again, the level of
success that he as a business person, a small business
(06:05):
person in Indiana Hoosier obtained. Anybody would want to achieve
that level of success, and you have to be a
hard worker to get there.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, and to be such a member of the community, right,
you can't burn your own brand and stay in town
that long without doing it right.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Absolutely, And to be, like you said, well known and
then well respected, you've got to be doing something right.
And so, passing away at the age of eighty five,
he will be missed, survived by his son, by his daughter,
who I'm sure will do everything they can to carry
on his legacy and continue representing people in their personal
(06:42):
injury claims very well, and make sure you get all
the money you need, all the money you deserve. Thanks
for listening to the Kendall MKC show, Ethan Hatcher and
Jerry Lopez filling in. Stay tuned for more on ninety
three WIBC. Jerry Stami, if you've heard this one before,
violent repeat, criminal offender, let loose to reoffend on society
(07:04):
and grievously injures an innocent person. Why do we keep
hearing this story on repeat? Doesn't matter the city, it's
over and over and over again. If it's a Democrat
run municipality, you have these violent offenders that are let
loose on society and attack.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The innocent again and again and again. And I'm sick
of it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah. I think when you go back to it, it's
the like no Bell projects. And remember when the Summer
of Love was going on and you had all these
different NGOs out here trying to bail people out. There
are no repercussions for people's crimes. They command and they're
not afraid of the law anymore. And when you have
prosecutors like the one we have in this city in Indianapolis.
They know they're gonna, Okay, you're gonna put on handcuffs,
(07:46):
you're going to take a picture, You're going to be
out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
This just happened December fifth in Seattle, and we've gotten
more footage of this terrible attack. A violent repeat offender
by the name of falle Peia, forty two years old,
arrested very shortly after the attack outside of a King
County courthouse by the Sheriff's Department who was near the
courthouse at the time of the attack. And listen to
(08:11):
the way that they talk about this this repeat offender,
because he was known to the law enforcement community. This
unfortunately was not news to them. But the woman he
attacked is going to have to carry this injury with
her for the rest of her life. Blinded or Jerry,
this is sick. It's just before noon.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
On December fifth outside the King County Courthouse in Seattle.
That's seventy five year old Jeannette Markin standing on the
corner and police say, this is Folly Paya walking up
with a stick in his hand, when out of nowhere
he attacks her. Jeanette is knocked to the ground bystanders
take a picture of the suspect, then rush to help Jeanette.
The full scope of what happened wasn't clear yet. Police
(08:48):
arrested Paya a block away and found the weapon this
wooden board with a screw through the end of it.
Police say that screw went through Jeanette's eye.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
He's a vegular. He usually guess.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
Today he decides to escalate things way worse than his usual.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
Where is he?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
He's just jumping down there as paramedics racer to the hospital.
It becomes obvious police, no folly, pay a well, anxiety.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's been a search right now?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah you know him?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Oh, he's notorious for random assaults.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
After court record show Paya had multiple prior convictions for assault,
including stabbing someone eight times at a party.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Oh that was horrible, it's you're horrible. You're your name
of a monster. Who what took you so long? Idiot?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So we heard from two separate law enforcement officers there,
one where he said, oh, well, he's a regular, he
usually punches, and the others that, oh, yeah, he's known
for random assaults walking up and down Third Street. If
you are known for random assaults, you should probably know
not probably you should definitely be in prison far away
from civil society. What what his He's gotten so screwed
(10:00):
up with our priorities, Jerry, I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It ended with he also stabs somebody at a party.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, this guy, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
How many who does he have to kill before they
put him in jail?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, and now he blinded this woman. I mean a
totally random attack.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And do you see the escalation he usually punches. He
stabs somebody to party. Now he hit a lady in
the face with a club that had a nail in it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, just what's next? Yeah, just a loose board and
punctured her eye. And she's gonna have to carry that
because I mean, you know, she's lost vision out of
that eye permanently, Gonna have to carry that for the
rest of her life. And her family brought up an
excellent point. She didn't know that she wasn't allowed to
be around Third Street near this guy. She just minding
her own business walking the street. It's not incumbent upon
(10:44):
civilians to be aware of where these criminal freaks are
wandering around the city. It's in comment on law enforcement officers,
on city officials to keep law law in order to
keep the civil society safe and protected.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And it goes back to the conversation we had to
lead maybe the second segment. If the National Guard is
on the street, this probably doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, And it's moments like this.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's things like this that are going to force that
that to.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Be the case.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is a concept and we're going to talk about
this a little bit later in the show. But it's
known as a narco tyranny, and the anarchy is where
law and the law enforcement is not directed towards repeat
offenders and violent of criminals, but then it is enacted
to punish law abiding citizens, to restrict your freedom of movement,
to restrict your freedom of speech, to restrict your ability
(11:35):
to live and interact in civil society, but then leave
these people completely untouched. That's an arco tyranny. It's a
completely unbalanced system and it's one that we are unfortunately
falling victim too, because of this mentality that a lot
of leftist judges, prosecutors, and city officials have when it
comes to these recidivus, repeat offenders. And then now already
(11:59):
his public defender is singing the song of a mental incompetency. Well,
he's not fit to stand trial. If you're not fit
to stand trial, if you do not understand the difference
between right or wrong, you should be locked away in
a padded cell and kept away from civil society.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Not released.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's not an excuse to release the person, or not
an excuse not to hold him accountable. If anything, it
should be a higher degree of accountability, because this is
somebody who's criminally insane, who doesn't have the mental capacity
to understand the harm and the devastation that he inflicts
on others. And I'll get this, Jerry. It gets even better.
He identifies as transgender. Listen to the public defender.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Dween fifteen, d you where's char.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Public defender Kevin Robinson was quick to bring up fall
a pay as long history of mental incompetence. This morning,
I have work.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Goodness pay at briefly with war and I reviewed the
history and compactness she's had with both in mental health
and the system under a long history of findings.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of a competence and the sentims that have been noted
for I served personally today.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Although charging documents don't mention pay us mental health, they
show pay us long history with the justice system it reads, quote,
the defendant has a prior conviction for assault in the
second degree in twenty eleven. Defendant also has misdemeanor convictions
for assault in twenty twenty four, four times in twenty
twenty three, and once in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I am shocked, shocked, well not that shocked.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And it's not just him, it's people like de Carlos
Brown who remember stabbed Arena Zarutzka on the train there
outside of.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Charlottesville. Charlottesville, North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Had the guy that set the woman on fire in Chicago,
and that judge said, I couldn't, I couldn't. We can't
lock up everybody. That's literally what she said, We can't
lock up everywhere. And Mayor Brandon Johnson comes out and says,
we can't lock our we can't arrest our way out
of this.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
We don't expect you to lock up everybody. See, that's
such a conflation. Eli Salvador would completely disagree.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, well, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
They have had success in driving down the murder rate
in El Salvador by enforcing the law. They've had success
in New York City. This was something I was going
to report on in this segment. Crime plummeted by sixty
five percent in Washington Square Park after the NYPD kicked
off a twenty four to seven crackdown at the Greenwich
Village landmark, targeting dealers, junkies, and scoff laws. According to
(14:23):
new data, is anybody shocked that when you enforce the law,
crime decreases.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It shouldn't be a shock. This should be common sense.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I don't. It's sad that we have to take back
our streets and our streets. This is not Republican Democrat nobody.
I don't ask your political affiliation when I walk past
you down the street, nor do I care. I just
expect you to act like a respectful person and go
about your way.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well and expecting society to be reasonably free and clear
of violent random assaults. I don't think is a high
barre to set. It shouldn't be a high bar to
set In the United States of America, When we could drop.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
A missile through a window to hit you on the
toilet and not ruin the rest of your house, we
sure as hell can clean up Circle City.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Elsewhere in the country. Another woman fell victim to these
violent repeat offenders. This was forty year old Antonio Moore,
who randomly stabbed a woman to death, sixty five year
old at the Barnes and Noble in Florida in Palm
Beach on eight pm this past Monday, Monday, the twenty second.
The victim Rita long Rich. She unfortunately passed away as
(15:27):
a result of her injuries. And once again, this is
somebody who was known to law enforcement, who had an
extensive criminal history, who was let back loose on society
to reoffend.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And we cannot.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
This experiment of attempting to sympathize and empathize with the
assailants over the victims has been nothing short of an
abject failure. We cannot continue to live this way, Jerry, I.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Mean imagine being the Well, first of all, this lady died,
which sucks, right, It's a bit excusable, a random attack
by a psychopath, known psychopath. Yeah. Even the public defender
in the case you talked about out of Seattle goes, yeah,
I know this guy. What do you think the cops
are thinking? Yeah, even the public defenders like, I don't
know what you want to do with this guy.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, the cops said that they knew him. Oh yeah,
he's a regular. He usually usually punches, but it's escalated.
He walks up and down Third Street and has been
convicted of multiple assaults.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Why are you not in jail? Why are you not
in prison?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
If that's your mom and she's in the hospital blind,
how does that help you?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What? And here's the even worst part. And it sucks
because she does deserve something, But you can't assume this
guy he doesn't have anything either.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Well, I mean, at the end of the day, you
have to hold these city officials responsible. You have to
hold the elected officers in the community, these judges, these prosecutors,
the elected officials, the mayors, the people who are hamstringing
law enforcement from doing their jobs at that any but
he reasonably expects them to accomplish. And I'm sure the
(17:02):
police officers would love to be in a position where, yeah,
this guy is thrown away. But all the police officers
can do is arrest. They're not in the court orrap.
They're not in the courtroom, they're not doing the prosecuting.
All they can do is just, you know, capture this
guy and then expect the other elements of the system
to step in and do what we expect them to do.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
In a civil society.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
So this is a guy that went by female pronouns, right,
he identified as trades. So if this was my family
member in a first of its time, first ever, I
would sue for his pronouns. You are now he him
he lost them well.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And also, if you're mentally incompetent to stand trial, how
are you mentally competent to identify your gender?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Why is that not a symptom if you don't know
your own gender. If you know your own gender, you're
probably not competent to stand trial.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
There we go, you know, And if you're not competent
to stand trial, then you should be kept away. You
should be locked in a padded cell. In some ways,
this is an indictment of Ronald Reagan, who you know,
famously closed down the mental asylums and the institutions, and
guess there were horrible abuses that went on in those places,
but they needed to be reformed, not removed, because the
(18:11):
alternative of where law enforcement is now having to do
the dirty work of what used to be the mental
health care system in the United States again is not working,
and sending in social workers is not the solution to
these violent repeat offenders who are victimizing innocent, random civilians
across the United States. There are dozens and dozens and
(18:33):
dozens of these stories. We could literally do probably an
entire show if we wanted to dig up all the data,
you know.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Instead of just one segment on it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
But here's at least three different offenders and three different
municipalities that we've talked about with extensive criminal histories that
were let loose to reoffend.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, and I think it just goes to show how
much we really should appreciate the police officers in all
these towns who aren't getting the support that they need
from local prossecut The.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Lunatics are running the asylum, and you know, you have
that data coming out of Washington Square Park in New
York City. But get ready, Maal, because you're going to
be in for a problem when mom Donnie takes control
just in a couple of weeks. Actually, I believe he's
assuming office at the beginning of January, and now the
lunatics are really going to be running the asylum down there,
and you don't think that he has any intention of
(19:22):
enforcing law and order.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
If anything is going to get worse.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You had that woman that was already set on fire
in the subway, and Governor Kathy Hokle had to deploy
something that we were talking about earlier in the show,
had to deploy the National Guard just to keep citizens safe.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Why did you have to deploy the national Guard?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Because local elected Democrat officials are not enforcing basic law
and order with the tools that they have at this
at their disposal, and ANARCO tyranny squarely victimizes the innocent
and then rewards criminal offenders.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yep, that's it. I mean, it's it'll be interest and
to see how it goes down in New York City.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, and then elsewhere we have problems and get ready
here in Fort Wayne, they're having issues. This was a
report from Wayne about a homeless encampment along let's see
River Greenway trail that has now overflowed into the trail
and trash accumulating beneath local Veterans Memorial Bridge. You know,
(20:26):
get ready for more assaults to happen in that area
if they don't cleaned it up in short order. This
reporting coming from W A and E.
Speaker 10 (20:32):
The Wayne fifteen viewers reached out to us about a
homeless encampment taking over the river Greenway trail. Is this
what our camera's found. People there tell us they've been
working to clean it up since seven in the morning,
and police are aware of the situation. This also comes
after Mayor Talker wrote a letter to city council about
a new homeless shelter being a priority. You can read
the mayor's letter and council's response right now on Wayne
dot com. Wayne fifteen did reach out to the city
(20:55):
for a response. They say multiple city departments are actively
checking on the situation and we'll respond and accordingly, protocol
requires at seventy two hour notice to be posted before
the site can be cleaned.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
M I out of here, Get.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Him out here.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
If you're breaking the law, there shouldn't have to be
a notice. It should the response should be absolutely immediate.
If you know about the problem, that's not enough. You
gotta do something about the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And once you know about it, irresponsible for it.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's all we expect.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Thanks for listening to WIBC. This is the Kennel and
Casey Show with Ethan and Jerry a filling in. Stay tuned.
WIBC news is coming up next. I like this, bump Kylin,
what is this bump. What does this say?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This is bittersweet symphony by the verb.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh, okay, you'll.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Know it as soon as it gets in. Yeah, yeah,
I recognize the violins.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, good choice producer, Kylon. She's always such a hard worker.
We love producer. Kylan does a good job filling in
today and then also does a fantastic job on the
First Day Show with Terry Stacey. You should definitely give
that a listen from eleven to one pm on Sundays,
and sometimes I participate as well with a reoccurring segment
Antique Show and Tell. We've had a lot of fun
(22:07):
on the First Day Show.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, you have to stop by Sunday's eleven to one.
Like you said, it's so much fun.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Thanks for listening to WIBC. This is the Kendall and
case Show. Ethan Hatcher from Saturday Night on The Circle
and Jerry Lopez at Indie Spanglish on the Twitter Machine
filling in today for Kendall and Casey. One topic that
we've discussed a little bit in the last segment, Jerry,
but I wanted to dive in more in this segment
is the concept of a narco tyranny.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Have you ever heard of that before, not specifically.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
This is a fairly recent concept that was first introduced
by a conservative commentator by the name of Samuel Francis,
who defined the condition as a combination of oppressive government
power against the innocence and the law abiding, while simultaneously
a grotesque paralysis of the ability or will to use
that power carrying out basic public duties such as protection
(22:59):
or public safety. It is characteristic of an arco tyranny
that it not only fails to punish criminals and enforce
legitimate order, but also criminalizes the innocent, and in this respect,
its failures bring the country or important parts of it
close to a state of anarchy. That semblance of anarchy
is coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under
(23:20):
which innocent, law abiding citizens are punished by the state
or suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at
the hands of the state. Francis identified the punishment of
the non compliant as the real purpose of the tyranny component,
and one of the aspects that we've seen an ARCO
tyranny in action from the states are issuing the cdl's
(23:43):
commercial driver's license to illegal aliens who can't read the language,
who don't know the traffic laws, and putting them behind
the wheels of multi ton dangerous eighteen wheel rigs. This
is a problem, Jerry, and it's resulted in multiple fatalities
across the country in California, yeah, in Florida, in Arizona,
in other communities as well. This is a problem and
(24:05):
we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
A lot of truckers come down from Canada that are
causing a lot of these issues. And how many times
have you seen one of these guys try to bust
a UI in a big rig and it ends up
killing you know, three card loads of people.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, because they pull the entire trailer across all lanes
of traffic and there's no way, there's no way to
escape it. If you are traveling at you know, seventy
miles an hour and this happens anywhere close to you,
you don't have the mechanical breaking time. Even if you
respond in an adequate amount of time, there just is
because of how physics works, you're not going to be
(24:39):
able to stop in time. And a Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,
who is a wonderful relief compared to old Pete Buddha
judge who was I didn't realize how important these transportation
secretary was until Pete Buddha Judge came along, because hot damn,
you recognized what it was like when we had a bad.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Transportation secretary behind.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Now Sean Duffy putting a stop to a lot of
that and is now threatening Colorado with removing over twenty
five million dollars of federal funding if they don't get
their CDL licenses into compliance. Almost twenty two percent of
the CDLs in the state are for illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Jerry, this is nuts. And this is in Colorado, right, Yeah,
that's in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
So I knew I had heard something like this recently
New York City, New York. They said, out of thirty
two thousand of these CDLs, close to seventeen hundred or
excuse me, seventeen thousand, we're given to people that should
never even have them.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Geez. So that's almost half. That's even worse than Colorado.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, Secretary Duffy needs to start cracking down in short order,
which is what he's threatening to do.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
And they're vowed, and they're vowed for eight years in
New York.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
This according to Fox News.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Heus in Colorado of slow walking the purge of illegal CDLs.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Duffy's saying every day that goes by is another day unqualified,
unvetted for and truckers are justizing the safety of you
and your family. He's threatening to pull twenty four million
dollars in highway funds from Colorado if the state does
not act quickly.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Do it, absolutely, do it immediately. If you are endangering
the lives of citizens by giving it to unqualified drivers,
then your federal funding should be removed. You should not
be empowered and enabled to further endanger the lives of citizens.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean, I'll take it a step further. If you're
not willing to uphold just the laws of this country,
you should be impeached, no matter what you are. I'm
so tired of hearing a governor decide that, oh, this
is a sanctuary state. Now you don't have to follow
the immigration policy in my state, or we'll give you this,
or we're not going to work with Department of Homeland
on a federal detainer for this guide for some political
uphold the laws and that's your job.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
You also mentioned, yeah, the sanctuary states. It's amazing the
selectiveness that these states want to have on which crimes
they want to prosecute, which crimes they don't want to prosecute,
what laws they want to follow, what laws they don't
want to follow, And while simultaneously they're flouting federal immigration
law by declaring their states sanctuary cities or sanctuary states
(27:10):
and giving shelter to illegal immigrants who are breaking the law,
they also want to give due process as a means
to prevent the law from being enforced against these illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's been a lot of hand ringing about.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh, well, you need to make sure that all these
legal immigrants have due process in the court system, when
they understand there's more than fifteen million illegal immigrants. If
you covered three a day, there's more than the six
hundred immigration judges in the country, so that's eighteen hundred
a day. It would still take more than one hundred
years to process all of these cases in the government
(27:44):
that we currently have established, it's not possible, something that
the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Stephen Miller made very
clear and he's spot on on this.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Jerry, I just wish we.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
Lived in a country with a media gave one tenth
damn as much about Americans who were murdered and brutalized
and savagely killed, beaten to death as it did about
whether illegal aliens. That we all agree our illegal aliens
should get a million days in court and a million trials.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And a million this and a million that.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
There's fifteen million illegal aliens that violators of the country.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
If every one of.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
Them got the trial that you're asking for, it would
take US centuries to remove them. Centuries. We'd be talking
about this in three four hundred years.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
They're great great great grandchildren were.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
The ones representing them in court.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's how long it would take.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Illegal aliens who come to our country have to be
removed and they have to quickly, and that as an
essential component of having something that we like to call
a country.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If you have already stepped over due process by violating
immigration law, you should not be afforded due process. You
should be deported immediately. Do not pass go, do not
collect two hundred dollars. This shouldn't be complicated, It shouldn't
be compsal.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It goes to a bigger question. Yeah, we have rights
from the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. But does
that apply to anybody that's stepping on this ground, Like
do you walk over from Mexico or come over on
a boat from Ghane or wherever illegally and all of
a sudden you have the right to bear arms, You
have the right to everything.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, they don't have the right to bear arms.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The Supreme Court recently ruled that if you have already
violated a federal immigration law, then it is reasonable to
deprive that person who has already violated the law the
rights of the Second Amendment that would be afforded to
law abiding United States citizens.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
If you can take the second, you can take the rest.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yes, yes, it is laying the groundwork there. And absolutely again,
if you were violating the law, you should not be
afforded the protections of the law. This seems pretty simple.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And why should I pay to adjudicate all these cases?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Right?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Well, the American taxpayers are going to pay for seventeen
million individual cases to get out all these illegals.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
This is the state of a narco tyranny where the
law breakers are being protected but the law abiders are
being punished. Is the core concept of the last two
segments that we've discussed. And it's not just the United
States that is doing this, Jerry, it's other states as well.
You see it starting to happen in the United Kingdom
in Australia where now they're going to punish people for
(30:19):
exercising their speech. They are punishing hate speech in the
wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, as opposed to
going after violent Islamists who are endangering the lives of
their citizens. And this is very scary stuff. This is
a narco tyranny in action, Jerry.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
The National Security Investigations Teams are a flying squad of
hate disruptors who focus on high harm, high impact, politically
motivated violence, communal violence, and hate crimes that don't meet
the threshold for terrorism investigations that we know drive fear
and division. This is all about stopping hate and division
(30:58):
earlier and well before or it leads to violence. So far,
this crack squad has charged fourteen individuals across thirteen investigations,
and of those, four individuals across four operations were charged
for offenses relating to anti Semitism. The teams were responsible
for a recent week long national blips on the distribution
and display of prohibited symbols. The announcement today to boost
(31:22):
the numbers of our hate disruptors, as well as planned
changes to lower the threshold for hate speech, will make
it easier for the AFP to take action quicker.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Most because can you see it's the speech that needs
to be lower.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
The expectation for hate speech. Well, you see what they're
doing in the UK. They will show up to your
house and lock you up because your social media posts
a fitted somebody.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, if you rape a woman, you can be let
loose because you're just a victim of the culture. But
you know, if you post a meme on social media
that's seen by thirty people, then you know you can
be sent to jail in six months. Something that are
four six months, something that actually happened over there.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, it happens pretty often. I mean did simple Google search?
Man arrested for social media post will give you everything you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Need far too often.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And if it weren't for the Constitution, this would already
be in full effect.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
We're not talking about that Rocco or Thoughty Ray. This
is in the United Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
This is in London and in Australia, and they're doing
their damnedst to bring it here to the United States
as well. Thanks for listening to The Kendall and k
C Show. Coming up next. It seems that Amazon has
made a pretty interesting alteration to a beloved Christmas classic.
Is it an insidious change or are they trying to
(32:38):
skirt copyright law? We'll explain more about that coming up next,
so stay tuned. Welcome back to The Kendall and k
C Show with Ethan and Jerry filling in. Jerry, this
was an article that you shared with me. Apparently, now
Amazon is coming after It's a Wonderful Life.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
What's this all about?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah, it looks like they're just really trying to save
a little bit of money, honestly. But they cut out
a very famous people noticed. People noticed, Yeah, well, I mean,
it's the whole emotional heart of the film.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's the whole point of the film.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Where he discovers that his life has meaning and value
because he sees what the world would be without that,
and they cut I guess, a twenty two minute part
of the film. And yeah, apparently, according to what is
the University of Connecticut, this is not a creative choice
by Amazon. I think many people took it personally because
this is a beloved Christmas classic for a lot of people.
(33:27):
But it's not a creative choice from them, Like you said,
They're just trying to save a little bit of money
because of the tangled copyright status of the movie. This
dates all the way back to nineteen seventy four, when
the distributor failed to renew the movie's copyright and allowed
it to elapse into the public domain. Ironically, allowing that
to happen is what elevated the movie to the beloved
(33:50):
status that it has today, because it was a commercial
flop upon initial release. Ye and getting too broadcast it
on broadcast television is what made it go into a
Christmas classic. But although the distributor allowed the copyright to elapse,
the story that it is based on still has copyright
(34:10):
as well as the soundtrack, So it is more of
a logistics choice to snip out the portion that is
most directly tied to the short story on which it
is based that they removed in order so that way
they don't got to shell out some extra shekels.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, it says.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Legal experts believe this edited version appears to be a
workaround to the copyright, so by removing that specific sequence
distributors that believe they could avoid infringing on any of
the short stories copyright while also offering a short version
of the film.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I do think it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Would behoove Amazon to probably make some sort of announcement
about this, because so far they haven't chose to comment.
And when you allow the public to make their own conclusions,
then yeah, I think they're going to especially with such
a love movie and such a strange choice, they're going
to infer something pernicious going on there.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah. I think most people are worried about anything that's
edited these days.
Speaker 1 (35:05):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
