Tune in here to this Monday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!
Chad Adams fills in for Breaking Brett Jensen and kicks off by talking about international diplomacy and local accountability. He opens the show with analysis of a historic peace deal in the Middle East and the release of hostages from Gaza, calling it a major global moment that should transcend political affiliation. Adams credits former President Donald Trump’s efforts—especially the Abraham Accords—for creating the groundwork for peace, and questions why more Democrats aren’t celebrating the development.
Shifting focus to Charlotte, Adams criticizes the city's leadership for attempting to cover up a murder linked to the CATS transit system, calling it a political and ethical failure. He highlights a troubling state audit revealing increased spending on security with fewer personnel, and points to broader issues of transparency and governance. From national policy to local mismanagement, Adams calls for common-sense solutions and a return to accountability—urging listeners to stop relying on government as the source of all answers.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good afternoon, Folcus. Chad Adams here sitting in for Bred Jensen,
The Effervescent, the One of a Kind Bred Jensen. It's
a pleasure, honored to be a part of the broadcast.
As always, this is the one show I haven't been
able to do yet, so it's nice to do that
because I you know, I've done the Vince coach Ley's
(00:32):
Show and Pete Calendar's Winnable and now this so complete,
the four of a Kind as it were. So anyway, now,
a lot going on today if you're whatever, you're tracking,
if you're a Panther fan, it was a glorious day,
wasn't it. Two wins in a row. Nail bider. You
(00:54):
expect them to lose. Now, if you're an NC State fan,
you definitely expect them to lose because you expect take
to lose, and then you expect the Panthers lose. But no,
it was a good day yesterday. It was a nail bider.
It's good one. Bryce Young had a good one. The
defense was amazing and beat the Cowboys and humiliating loss
to them. Yeah, so two wins in a row. I
(01:16):
don't know what's next, but we'll be pulling for them. Now.
Having said that, I'm sitting in Chad Adams, your guest
host News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT,
and a lot to cover the now. I don't know
how much you as you're driving around covering your day.
The day started out pretty strong nationally speaking, and the
(01:38):
most controversial and probably most accomplished president in the modern era,
maybe one for history books. You know, this, this peace
deal has been rather remarkable and hostage is being released
is pretty profound. This should be across the board, no
(01:58):
matter what political party, whatever your leanings are. Today was
historic and people like John even Chuck Schumer came out
and said something positive about it. John Fetterman did. Fetterman's
one of the guys voting for to end the shutdown,
one of three Democrats that needed a few more. But
it was historic and there's just no other There's no
(02:25):
other way to say it. And you would think Democrats
would be thrilled at this, but they're not. And this
should be unanimous. I mean even Bill Clinton had released
something on Twitter about what an amazing deal this was,
and you know, all living hostages freed from captivity in Gaza,
A hostage for prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas. About
(02:46):
eight a m. This morning, red Cross convoys going through there.
Israel released about two thousand Palestinians, two hundred and fifty terrorists. Yeah,
that'll probably come back and bite them. But Trump was there.
Then he zips over to Egypt, getting a lot of
people in. And here's a fundamental economic truth. So if
you're looking at this from thirty thousand feet, looking down
(03:08):
at it and going what is a great way to
solve peace is economic activity the Middle East. The Saudis
know this, the Egyptians know this. Even the Palestinians that
are now fighting back against Hamas know this. Because if
you and I are economic partners or somehow we mutually benefit,
(03:32):
there's no need for us to fight, regardless of our
belief structure. Now, one would think if you're a democrat
in this country, you would feel similarly. Now as you're
looking at Charlotte, I don't know if you guys have
been paying attention to the cat system and what's been
going on there and the murder that they covered up
for a long time, and then they kind of released
(03:52):
it and became a national story. And then you had
the state Auditor's Office release report saying there's been millions
more on security and had forty percent fewer people to
provide security. And the mayor tried to say that wasn't
a big deal. Now, it wasn't that way that they
didn't provide any details. The auditor literally provided all the details.
(04:14):
And Charlotte continues to struggle in a way that is
incredibly partisan and not interested in solutions. Charlotte could be
one of the great cities in the country. I think
it's got so much going for it. It's just an
amazing place to be, great shopping, peripheral communities, access to
(04:38):
the mountains, access to the coast, and reasonable amounts of time.
But yet it finds itself going down rabbit holes about
affordable housing. Because if you have a great economy and stuff,
you know, the affordable housing can fix itself. A lot
of things don't require government to repair them. And the
narcissism of Charlotte is that they think government's going to
(04:59):
solve all these problems and it never does. We'll go
through that a little later because we're gonna look at
the Affordable Care Act. I know, boring, boring, but you
have to look at did it provide the promises. We're
promises made and kept and they weren't. So with respect
to Charlotte, you know, as you hear nationally about National
(05:22):
Guard looking to quell crime in Memphis or Chicago or
DC and bring it under control, and you see Democrats
reluctantly starting to say it worked, or you see Fetterman,
Democrat senator from Pennsylvania saying, hey, this peace deal worked.
We should be happy for it. I mean, Chuck Schumer
(05:42):
had to wait till late in the day to praise
the Trump administration for the Israelitian he's Jewish. You think
this would be an easy slam dunk because we got
to stop looking at who gets the credit. But you
gotta also stop propagandizing because you do want to secure border.
And Democrats acting like we don't is foolish. Democrats acting
(06:05):
like they don't want lower crime. It's only because of
the President the Democrats act like they're in favor of
more crime, even in Charlotte. Because there's never a wrong
time to do the right thing, never wrong time to
do the right thing. And so if you're a Democrat
out there right now, it was a good day regardless
(06:29):
peace breaking out in the Middle East. Let's see how
long it holds. We all hope it holds a long time.
We've had almost almost negligible or zero border crossings. That's
a good thing. The economy is doing very well. It's
not perfect. Could it be better. Yes, Even in North
Carolina things are going very well. But in Charlotte, the
fact that they tried to cover up this murder for days,
(06:53):
for two weeks, mayor Lyles come on should have been released,
becomes a national story, becomes an embarrassment for Charlotte. It
didn't have to be that way. So the elections, I
don't think that much is going to change because it's
hard to get people to run. Charlotte seems like a
fata complete for a Democrat, lefty way of looking at
the world. But that doesn't help the city go from
(07:16):
good to great. In fact, it's limiting it because it's starting.
It's trying to convince people that government is the way
you're going to find happiness, and it never works out
that way. It never does. Good afternoon with that chill music,
(07:42):
appreciate your tuning in here. Not Brett Jensen's voice, although
he has a great one. Chat out, I'm sitting in
having a blast is always here on WBT News Talk
eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT call in numbers
by the way, if you want to jump in seven
O four five, seven, Oh, pretty simple. A lot of
(08:02):
you probably haven't programmed. Most of you probably don't even
know what phone numbers are anymore because it's all in
your call list, right, you just like pull up a name.
Whence last time someone asks you for your phoneer and
you just sent them to contact. So having said all that,
my fate well, one of my favorite tweets X whatever
you want to call it of the day Elizabeth Warren
(08:26):
That Elizabeth Warren, commenting about the peace deal, she said,
for two excruciating years, I've called for the return of
the hostages brutally kidnapped on October seventh and held in Gaza.
Today is a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally
home and reuniting with loved ones. I'm thinking of them
and their friends on this joyful day and praying for
their full recovery. I'm also grieving for all this who
(08:48):
can't come home. Today is an important day toward peace
in the region, to which Jade Vance the Vice President
of United States tweeted, the President told me he did
this on Indigenous People's Day in honor of you. Ah,
that's hilarious. I'm sorry, we have to have a little
bit of humor here, Elizabeth Warren. Indigenous People's Day, that's
(09:09):
just hilarious. Now, before we went to the break, I
was talking about the city of Charlotte to me, has
everything a great city needs to have. It's got a
thriving business community. It's got bank headquarters there, it's got
a professional sports team, heavily subsidized stadium, it has heavily
(09:29):
subsidized Transit doesn't make it great. They could have spent
that money on roads in doing better. It's got great geography,
like I said, not far from the mountains, not far
from the coast, close to everything in North Carolina and
South Carolina. Fantastic airport, I mean, whether you like it
or not, it is an amazing airport. If you don't
live next to a large airport like that, you know
(09:49):
what I mean. In spite of that, there are forces
within elected government that want it to be bigger and
more complex government, and that never ever ever makes things better.
(10:10):
You cannot government your way to success. You can ungovernment
your way to success. You can reduce the size and
scope of government and do much better or do very
simple things. I mean, think about when you looked at
that report by the state auditor. Dave Bullock had dinner
with him Saturday night. He did a fantastic job of
talking about issues, and he went back to the situation
(10:33):
with the Charlotte light rail and the security. How the
amount of money they're spending on security went up massively
by millions, and yet security and the number of people
protecting folks went down by forty percent at his old
story from beginning of October. But having set all that,
(10:55):
the goal of the people spending those millions of dollars
was more concerned about de eye inclusion and all of
that stuff then protecting the people that ride the lightrail
or the buses or any kind of transit. The primary
goal of local government should be to protect citizens, period,
(11:15):
full stop, not complicated. Protect people. You can do so
in a very efficient and cost effect matter and even
prosecuting criminals. Maybe if you did that, your cops wouldn't
have to work as hard arresting the same person over
and over and over and over again again. You governmented
your way into less protection. You governmented your way into
(11:37):
less prosecution. You governmented your way into spending money on
frivolous things and not protecting people. And that's the nutcase
side of all this because you think if we just
add another government program, it will be better, and it's not. Now.
(11:57):
I say that because I'm going to go to a
big government. And let's now that it's been decades or
decade plus, we can look at it and say, how
did it work? How did the American I'm sorry, the ACA,
the Affordable Care Act? Did it make things more affordable?
Did it increase care for Americans? Did it act in
(12:19):
our best interest? Affordable Care and Act. You can almost
take every government program then look at the name, and
it will accomplish the opposite of what the name says. Right.
So this is only to set up for the rest
of the show and anything you want to talk about
five seven, h eleven ten, if you want to call in,
it says this is just this is from committee to
(12:40):
unleashed prosperity. Because they went back and looked at the
promises the ACA would help cut the deficit, including the
student loan provisions. The result, the ACA has significantly added
to the federal debt, including costly student loan losses. The
ac would bend the cost curve, saving twenty five hundred
dollars per family. Individual market premiums have doubled between twenty
(13:05):
thirteen and twenty seventeen. The primary America Affordable Care Act
provision for bending the curve, the Cadillac Tax, never went
into effect. The ASA would save live. You've member that
one's gon save lives. This is the promises, given life
expectancy fell three consecutive years for the first time in
nearly one hundred years. The ASA would be a program
(13:27):
for only US citizens. By twenty twenty four, many unauthorized
immigrants would be enrolled in subsidized Affordable Care Act plans.
It would take the stress out of shopping for health insurance.
Have any of you tried to shop for health insurance?
It was The portal was one of the most notoriously
unreliable websites ever launched. It has not made things easier.
(13:49):
It has not made things more affordable. Medicaid would be
an efficient way to increase coverage. The acaa's Medicaid expansion
is far more expensive. It hasn't saved money it hasn't
increased our ability to get access to healthcare. And if anything,
and you know this, all of you listening, whether you're
Democrat or Republican or unaffiliated, that your healthcare you have
(14:15):
to be your strongest advocate because doctors are stressed, healthcare
systems are stressed. The hospital systems have created a cartel.
They're not as interested in you. And I'm not being
mean about that, but we've gotten too much government in
our health care and it's made it worse, not better.
And yet we have the greatest medical technology on the
(14:37):
planet Earth, but we're finding that people in other countries
can deliver it cheaper and better, and it shouldn't be
that way. We're re litigious out of our yin yangs.
We're just re litigious also, so we had the religiousness
with too much government. And that's a simple math problem
that a first grader can solve, meaning doesn't work. So
(15:00):
where am I going with all that? So the point
I'm saying, or what I'm trying to say, is that
whenever you see a new government program, you should ask
is this really going to solve things? Is this really
going to make something better? Or is it just makes
you feel good because you did something or you appeared
to do something. You know a lot of government officials
(15:24):
and I was an elected one for years years ago,
and as a county commissioner. You want to believe that
government's there to help. And the true thing is you
want government to be there to treat everyone equally. You
want it to protect private property rights. You wanted to
protect citizens. That's the number one thing. All this other
stuff is fluff. The founding fathers never dreamed of a
(15:48):
cradle to grave governmental support system. That was what in
the intent. Again, that sounds a little fashion, doesn't it.
I don't mean for it to. GiB Kaye. Thanks for
(16:10):
being part of the show today. Chat Audam sitting in
for Brett Jensen here on News Talk eleven ten ninety
nine to three WBT. Honor, privileged, pleasure, all those things.
Always to be a part of this incredible family, the staff,
all of them, top to bottom, top notch group of folks,
amazing host, very gracious folks, and it is an honor
(16:31):
pleasure to be a part of it. As always. Now
make you feel humble for a second. I'll try, regardless
of your partisan proclivities. Eighty year old Natalie Grabo of
Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, has become the oldest woman to
finish the iron Man World Championship. The American was the
first female in the eighty to eighty four year old
(16:52):
category to complete. The race. Took place in Hawaii. Sixteen hours,
forty five minutes twenty six seconds, two point four mile swim,
one hundred and twelve mile bike race, twenty six point
two mile run total of one hundred and forty point
six miles. She's eighty, How you do it? Come on,
(17:17):
that's just crazy? Eighty years old? I hope First of all,
I hope I make it there. Be nice because you
get to see some amazing things happen over the next
couple of years before I hit that mark. No, I'm
not there yet, and so if I can, yeah, not
have to use sketchers, you know, just to put my
feet and slid them in just to tie my shoelaces
(17:38):
or something or no, who I am? But wow, I
mean eighty years old, man, that that that's a million
dollar book deal right there. I'll just do is say
here's what I do. Here's what I did. But again,
it wasn't a government program that made her great. It
was digging herself in an accomplishing thing that no one
(18:00):
had ever done before. She did that. It wasn't someone else.
And on that note, you know, we're at where this
historic peace steal could could I say, could this could
be an opportunity for Democrats at the local level, state level,
(18:22):
national level to really start to carve out positive things
they want to accomplish instead of just being opposed to
an individual. You know, they're disdained, they're discussed for the
president overshadows any desire to have accomplishments that make the
(18:44):
country better, stronger, faster, more incredible, create more opportunities for people.
You know, they get caught up in the minutia of him.
So we had a p steel. John Fetterman has come
out and said this is amazing. Former President Bill Clint
has come out on Twitter and said stuff. Leon Panetta,
former Obama Secretary of Defense CIA Director of Liam Panetta,
(19:08):
said this achievement, and it's a significant achievement, would not
have happened without the United States leadership. President Trump deserves
a lot of credit for bringing the parties together. Now
that doesn't mean they don't disagree on topics, but that's
the kind of language that begins to grow our country,
(19:31):
our city, our counties, our entire nation. That's the kind
of language that allows for productive discussion to happen. It's
the kind of stuff that Charlie Kirk would do. When
you go all over the country to places like Chapel
Hill and engage young Americans in disagreements and debates, that
left them both better off to elevate the conversation. And
(19:57):
so today's a great day for peace, it's a great
day for the planet. Hopefully the Ukrainian situation we get underway.
But here at home, you know, you've got a Charlotte
City Council election, a lot of seats that aren't even opposed.
But as you look at these issues, you look at
the government shut down, you know, there's a lot of
people out there saying, hey, the Republicans just end the
(20:20):
filibuster and then they can pass the budget and get
what they want. No, that would make them look petty.
They've got three Democrats working with them. Rand Paul should
get with the program. There will ultimately be a deal
of some type. It's a matter of juxtaposing who's to blame.
You've got crime, the border, the economy, peace, there's plenty
(20:46):
of room for hatred, but it's not productive. So what
is it that the political left at this point would
like to accomplish. If you're listening to Mayor Lyles, you're
listening to council candidates, you know that the few districts
that have some competitive races, what is it if they
were allowed to do whatever they wanted to do to
make Charlotte better? What would they do? Would they expand
(21:10):
light rail and the buses or would they make sure
it's effective and efficient before they went and spent millions
more dollars? Would you just add cops on the street
or would you ask law enforcement what is it that's
going to make us second to none on reducing crime
in key parts of our city. Maybe it's not just
(21:32):
throwing cops out there. Maybe it's having more effective communications
and neighborhoods. What can we do to stop the repeat offenders?
Do we prosecute you get with the Mecklenburg DA's off
and say hey, start prosecuting folks more and making things stick.
Or do you just want to throw more money on
a revolving door and then wonder why it's costing you
(21:52):
millions to put the same people in in and then
they come back out. When I was on the County commission,
one of my fellow commissioners, older gentleman that I really respected,
and he used to say, hey, ninety percent, he wasn't
the first one. Ninety percent of solving any problem is
understanding at first. And I think from an observational standpoint
(22:16):
that a lot of people are not so interested in
solving problems that are in the political realm. They're more
interested in the propaganda. They're more interested in just saying things.
And unfortunately, social media has not just taken the political
types that want to propagandaze, but it's taking a lot
(22:38):
of other folks that don't have a lot. And I
don't mean to be mean, because everyone you have a
right to debate, but we don't see debate in a
lot of social media. It's just like you throw something
at a wall and see what sticks. And then media
tends to find one piece of a story and run
with that to be the first to get something out
(22:58):
without a lot of discussion and depth. And that's an
unfortunate reality. But we as humans that have the ability
to reason, should take an extra bath when you go
through something. What is this story, trying to say what
really happened to you? Because I tell you, ever since
Charlie Kirk's murder, I've been astounded at people on the
(23:20):
left and right, but more people in the right on
this one with the conspiracy theories. I mean, I thought
the Roswell situation with the Aliens was fascinating, or the
moon landing being faked, those kind of things fascinating, but man,
the Charlie Kirk murder and the Candace Oh, and what
happened to Candace. I've known candas for many years, astute, bright, articulate,
(23:47):
just an amazing young voice out there, and now she's
gone full on flamethrowing, conspiracy, Israel killed in there was
a special meeting. It's all in that that doesn't breed
anything that makes our country better, not right now. And
(24:17):
here you get screened at the last segment of the show,
chat out. I'm setting up for Bett Jensen honor privileged pleasure,
as always ed for you to be part of the audience,
and I want to say that. So we've talked about
kind of common sense ways of looking at things, the
role of government, I know, boring, boring, blah blah blah,
big days a rather tragic story. It's been mentioned on news,
(24:41):
but it is worth mentioning. Lending Tree CEO founder Doug
Lebda died in an all ATV vehicle over the weekend,
and that's you know, what I would say is when
you hear me talk about role of government and stuff,
I've always I'm always a huge believer in the role
of the entrepreneur in changing the world in which we live.
(25:07):
It's not government. We're blessed with the kind of government
that does less. We have a constitution that delineates what
governments cannot do, it limits them, and it's it's the
power of you, the individual, the citizen, the communities that
come together. That's what makes us great. That's what makes
us unique. We have a piece of paper underglass the
National Archives that delineates things come from God and that
(25:33):
we the people have the power. And it's and it's
and it's and it's enshrined in paper, not people. It's
not people, it's it's a piece of paper. And as
long as we respect that piece of paper, we have
a country. Now back to Doug's death. Doug Lebda's death
(25:56):
over the weekend ATV. He was someone who struggled with
getting a to get a loan back in nineteen ninety
six and creates lending Tree because he frustrations mount his
frustrations mounted trying to get his first mortgage, so it
was launched nationally in nineteen ninety eight, became a public
company the year two thousand, was later acquired by an
internet conglomerate IC Interactive Court, before spinning off on its
(26:20):
own again in two thousand and eight. The point I'd
make is that's an individual who saw something that was
missing and the call of the entrepreneur hit him, and
he changed things and created markets and created competition, and
other companies spun off from that company, and the world changed.
(26:42):
And that's what makes this country astounding. That's why people
from all over the world want to come here. It's
not it's not because we have great government programs. It's
we because we want entrepreneurs to change the world. And
that's the beauty of entrepreneurs. What is a great idea
twenty or thirty years ago gets surpassed, It either gets
(27:04):
becomes better. I mean, Apple was on the ropes in
the nineties and look at where they are now. Microsoft
was indomitable. Not like that now because new competition, new
things change alter Who would have thought Amazon would be
what it is, And that's great, and it provides jobs
and opportunity, and it changes the way we live our lives.
(27:29):
It's not government programs that make us great. It's not
that the best governments it kind of gets out of
your way but protects people. We get caught up in that,
We get caught up in the minutia of that. You know,
we think and see. You have a bunch of people,
and especially on the left. I'm hoping what I hope
happens after Donald Trump and Mayor Lyles Democrats here in
(27:50):
Charlotte Mecklenburg, the state of North Carolina. I hope they
do come up with some ideas that aren't just about
making government bigger, making government better, not just castigating and
throwing stones at any idea that a Republican has, but
it comes up and says, hey, this is an idea
(28:11):
we believe would be a better idea and sell it.
But instead, I think a lot of times both parties
just want to hurl stones at the other party and say, hey,
they're terrible, we're less terrible. We're just slightly less terrible
than they are. So vote for US. And what we
now know is when Donald Trump went to solve the
(28:34):
immigration problem and people said it couldn't be done, it's
been done. When people said you couldn't have peace in
all these other places, he went and said, yeah, we can.
And it's fascinating kind of have a third grade way
of communicating really complex ideas, and the peace process is
(28:57):
one of those easy to understand, isn't it. Now. Now
you've got Palestinians standing up to Hamas. A year ago,
no one would have said that. You've got the Egyptians,
the Saudis, that all know that the greatest path to
peace is creating economic partnerships. And if you've ever been
to that area of the world, I was very blessed
(29:18):
to have traveled to Israel throughout the country back in
twenty e twelve. But when you're in that area and
I went to Storo, which is right next to Gaza,
you could see across Gaza to the Mediterranean, you realize
how amazingly beautiful that could be. It's called Venezuela. Cuba
and Gaza should be three of the most incredible places
(29:39):
on earth. But due to bad governance, bad priorities in
Gaza's case, Hamas is Israel, So they just spend all
the money that would have helped their people to try
to fight fights that they accomplished nothing or worse, destroyed
their country. Cuba could be the greatest place the Caribbean's
ever seen. It's the largest island the Caribbean basin, and
(30:01):
their governance is what's destroying what otherwise should be one
of the places that every one of the planet would
like to go to. Great location, beautiful place, just amazing. Venezuela,
one of the most mineral rich, economically wealth that could
have been not now but certainly environmentally amazing and biodiverse
(30:22):
places on the planet destroying itself to the point that
they're trying to get their citizens to eat rabbits. Those
are big government places. One of them is was terrorists driven.
The other two are government driven, and they've driven their
people into horrific poverty with no opportunities and breadlines. That's
(30:47):
too much governance, and unfortunately you look at the usl
property down there or hold property as a way as
say a territory of Puerto Rico where I was raised,
it's destroying that country or province territory. But you would
think local leaders in this area would look at those
(31:12):
things and say, wait, those ideas don't work. Maybe we
should make government more efficient, Maybe we should get it
out of the way in many instances and focus on
making people safer, regardless of their skin color, regardless of
their sex orientation. Treat everyone as equals. Protect the people
that need it the most. But don't go out and
(31:34):
create and spend millions of dollars because you have some
kind of political agenda to accomplish for a given group
of people. Like I said, Charlotte, think about what Charlotte
could be, not what it is right now, but what
it could be because it's an amazing place, great shopping.
(31:55):
I've said all this stuff already, but anyhow, some other
things to mention to you. As I was looking through
the news meane, I was like, and I get that
TV stations have to pick and choose and they want
to lead local and stuff like this. But I was
looking at WBT and I like some of the reports
(32:16):
over there I know personally. And then WRIL, probably the
largest news station. Neither one of them mentioned the piece today,
And I get it. You want to lead local, and
WBT does that. They lead local and they will continue
to do so. But you think you could mention it.
It's a pretty big deal, historic even so, you would
(32:39):
think it would make it up there. But anyway, I
was going through both of them and even today Josh
Stein the governor. You would think the first Jewish governor
would have been all over, but instead, what I did
see was he's upset about the legislature possibly doing some redistricting.
I remember we're ten and four. I think probably could
(32:59):
be eleven in three. I don't know, but he's trying
to make score political points right now. I don't know.
Now the legislature needs to get us back together and
finish a budget up. But it has been an honor
and a pleasure to be a part of the show today.
Brett Jensen, great guy, Glad to see this format he
has and look forward to being back with you guys soon.
(33:21):
And I always remember News Talk eleven, ten, nine, nine
three WBT is the place you need to go to
find out what the heck's going on. And there's a
coaching show coming up shortly and I hope you'll stay
tuned for that as well. Always keep your phone and
your radio tuned to the station to find out more so.
(33:41):
Having said all that, folks, let's hope the Panthers win
another one this coming weekend. If I said that wrong
and they have a buy, I'm gonna feel like an idiot.
Chat Adams, your guest host. Thanks for being a part
of everything today. We'll talk to you soon.
Good afternoon, Folcus. Chad Adams here sitting in for Bred Jensen,
The Effervescent, the One of a Kind Bred Jensen. It's
a pleasure, honored to be a part of the broadcast.
As always, this is the one show I haven't been
able to do yet, so it's nice to do that
because I you know, I've done the Vince coach Ley's
(00:32):
Show and Pete Calendar's Winnable and now this so complete,
the four of a Kind as it were. So anyway, now,
a lot going on today if you're whatever, you're tracking,
if you're a Panther fan, it was a glorious day,
wasn't it. Two wins in a row. Nail bider. You
(00:54):
expect them to lose. Now, if you're an NC State fan,
you definitely expect them to lose because you expect take
to lose, and then you expect the Panthers lose. But no,
it was a good day yesterday. It was a nail bider.
It's good one. Bryce Young had a good one. The
defense was amazing and beat the Cowboys and humiliating loss
to them. Yeah, so two wins in a row. I
(01:16):
don't know what's next, but we'll be pulling for them. Now.
Having said that, I'm sitting in Chad Adams, your guest
host News Talk eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT,
and a lot to cover the now. I don't know
how much you as you're driving around covering your day.
The day started out pretty strong nationally speaking, and the
(01:38):
most controversial and probably most accomplished president in the modern era,
maybe one for history books. You know, this, this peace
deal has been rather remarkable and hostage is being released
is pretty profound. This should be across the board, no
(01:58):
matter what political party, whatever your leanings are. Today was
historic and people like John even Chuck Schumer came out
and said something positive about it. John Fetterman did. Fetterman's
one of the guys voting for to end the shutdown,
one of three Democrats that needed a few more. But
it was historic and there's just no other There's no
(02:25):
other way to say it. And you would think Democrats
would be thrilled at this, but they're not. And this
should be unanimous. I mean even Bill Clinton had released
something on Twitter about what an amazing deal this was,
and you know, all living hostages freed from captivity in Gaza,
A hostage for prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas. About
(02:46):
eight a m. This morning, red Cross convoys going through there.
Israel released about two thousand Palestinians, two hundred and fifty terrorists. Yeah,
that'll probably come back and bite them. But Trump was there.
Then he zips over to Egypt, getting a lot of
people in. And here's a fundamental economic truth. So if
you're looking at this from thirty thousand feet, looking down
(03:08):
at it and going what is a great way to
solve peace is economic activity the Middle East. The Saudis
know this, the Egyptians know this. Even the Palestinians that
are now fighting back against Hamas know this. Because if
you and I are economic partners or somehow we mutually benefit,
(03:32):
there's no need for us to fight, regardless of our
belief structure. Now, one would think if you're a democrat
in this country, you would feel similarly. Now as you're
looking at Charlotte, I don't know if you guys have
been paying attention to the cat system and what's been
going on there and the murder that they covered up
for a long time, and then they kind of released
(03:52):
it and became a national story. And then you had
the state Auditor's Office release report saying there's been millions
more on security and had forty percent fewer people to
provide security. And the mayor tried to say that wasn't
a big deal. Now, it wasn't that way that they
didn't provide any details. The auditor literally provided all the details.
(04:14):
And Charlotte continues to struggle in a way that is
incredibly partisan and not interested in solutions. Charlotte could be
one of the great cities in the country. I think
it's got so much going for it. It's just an
amazing place to be, great shopping, peripheral communities, access to
(04:38):
the mountains, access to the coast, and reasonable amounts of time.
But yet it finds itself going down rabbit holes about
affordable housing. Because if you have a great economy and stuff,
you know, the affordable housing can fix itself. A lot
of things don't require government to repair them. And the
narcissism of Charlotte is that they think government's going to
(04:59):
solve all these problems and it never does. We'll go
through that a little later because we're gonna look at
the Affordable Care Act. I know, boring, boring, but you
have to look at did it provide the promises. We're
promises made and kept and they weren't. So with respect
to Charlotte, you know, as you hear nationally about National
(05:22):
Guard looking to quell crime in Memphis or Chicago or
DC and bring it under control, and you see Democrats
reluctantly starting to say it worked, or you see Fetterman,
Democrat senator from Pennsylvania saying, hey, this peace deal worked.
We should be happy for it. I mean, Chuck Schumer
(05:42):
had to wait till late in the day to praise
the Trump administration for the Israelitian he's Jewish. You think
this would be an easy slam dunk because we got
to stop looking at who gets the credit. But you
gotta also stop propagandizing because you do want to secure border.
And Democrats acting like we don't is foolish. Democrats acting
(06:05):
like they don't want lower crime. It's only because of
the President the Democrats act like they're in favor of
more crime, even in Charlotte. Because there's never a wrong
time to do the right thing, never wrong time to
do the right thing. And so if you're a Democrat
out there right now, it was a good day regardless
(06:29):
peace breaking out in the Middle East. Let's see how
long it holds. We all hope it holds a long time.
We've had almost almost negligible or zero border crossings. That's
a good thing. The economy is doing very well. It's
not perfect. Could it be better. Yes, Even in North
Carolina things are going very well. But in Charlotte, the
fact that they tried to cover up this murder for days,
(06:53):
for two weeks, mayor Lyles come on should have been released,
becomes a national story, becomes an embarrassment for Charlotte. It
didn't have to be that way. So the elections, I
don't think that much is going to change because it's
hard to get people to run. Charlotte seems like a
fata complete for a Democrat, lefty way of looking at
the world. But that doesn't help the city go from
(07:16):
good to great. In fact, it's limiting it because it's starting.
It's trying to convince people that government is the way
you're going to find happiness, and it never works out
that way. It never does. Good afternoon with that chill music,
(07:42):
appreciate your tuning in here. Not Brett Jensen's voice, although
he has a great one. Chat out, I'm sitting in
having a blast is always here on WBT News Talk
eleven ten ninety nine to three WBT call in numbers
by the way, if you want to jump in seven
O four five, seven, Oh, pretty simple. A lot of
(08:02):
you probably haven't programmed. Most of you probably don't even
know what phone numbers are anymore because it's all in
your call list, right, you just like pull up a name.
Whence last time someone asks you for your phoneer and
you just sent them to contact. So having said all that,
my fate well, one of my favorite tweets X whatever
you want to call it of the day Elizabeth Warren
(08:26):
That Elizabeth Warren, commenting about the peace deal, she said,
for two excruciating years, I've called for the return of
the hostages brutally kidnapped on October seventh and held in Gaza.
Today is a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally
home and reuniting with loved ones. I'm thinking of them
and their friends on this joyful day and praying for
their full recovery. I'm also grieving for all this who
(08:48):
can't come home. Today is an important day toward peace
in the region, to which Jade Vance the Vice President
of United States tweeted, the President told me he did
this on Indigenous People's Day in honor of you. Ah,
that's hilarious. I'm sorry, we have to have a little
bit of humor here, Elizabeth Warren. Indigenous People's Day, that's
(09:09):
just hilarious. Now, before we went to the break, I
was talking about the city of Charlotte to me, has
everything a great city needs to have. It's got a
thriving business community. It's got bank headquarters there, it's got
a professional sports team, heavily subsidized stadium, it has heavily
(09:29):
subsidized Transit doesn't make it great. They could have spent
that money on roads in doing better. It's got great geography,
like I said, not far from the mountains, not far
from the coast, close to everything in North Carolina and
South Carolina. Fantastic airport, I mean, whether you like it
or not, it is an amazing airport. If you don't
live next to a large airport like that, you know
(09:49):
what I mean. In spite of that, there are forces
within elected government that want it to be bigger and
more complex government, and that never ever ever makes things better.
(10:10):
You cannot government your way to success. You can ungovernment
your way to success. You can reduce the size and
scope of government and do much better or do very
simple things. I mean, think about when you looked at
that report by the state auditor. Dave Bullock had dinner
with him Saturday night. He did a fantastic job of
talking about issues, and he went back to the situation
(10:33):
with the Charlotte light rail and the security. How the
amount of money they're spending on security went up massively
by millions, and yet security and the number of people
protecting folks went down by forty percent at his old
story from beginning of October. But having set all that,
(10:55):
the goal of the people spending those millions of dollars
was more concerned about de eye inclusion and all of
that stuff then protecting the people that ride the lightrail
or the buses or any kind of transit. The primary
goal of local government should be to protect citizens, period,
(11:15):
full stop, not complicated. Protect people. You can do so
in a very efficient and cost effect matter and even
prosecuting criminals. Maybe if you did that, your cops wouldn't
have to work as hard arresting the same person over
and over and over and over again again. You governmented
your way into less protection. You governmented your way into
(11:37):
less prosecution. You governmented your way into spending money on
frivolous things and not protecting people. And that's the nutcase
side of all this because you think if we just
add another government program, it will be better, and it's not. Now.
(11:57):
I say that because I'm going to go to a
big government. And let's now that it's been decades or
decade plus, we can look at it and say, how
did it work? How did the American I'm sorry, the ACA,
the Affordable Care Act? Did it make things more affordable?
Did it increase care for Americans? Did it act in
(12:19):
our best interest? Affordable Care and Act. You can almost
take every government program then look at the name, and
it will accomplish the opposite of what the name says. Right.
So this is only to set up for the rest
of the show and anything you want to talk about
five seven, h eleven ten, if you want to call in,
it says this is just this is from committee to
(12:40):
unleashed prosperity. Because they went back and looked at the
promises the ACA would help cut the deficit, including the
student loan provisions. The result, the ACA has significantly added
to the federal debt, including costly student loan losses. The
ac would bend the cost curve, saving twenty five hundred
dollars per family. Individual market premiums have doubled between twenty
(13:05):
thirteen and twenty seventeen. The primary America Affordable Care Act
provision for bending the curve, the Cadillac Tax, never went
into effect. The ASA would save live. You've member that
one's gon save lives. This is the promises, given life
expectancy fell three consecutive years for the first time in
nearly one hundred years. The ASA would be a program
(13:27):
for only US citizens. By twenty twenty four, many unauthorized
immigrants would be enrolled in subsidized Affordable Care Act plans.
It would take the stress out of shopping for health insurance.
Have any of you tried to shop for health insurance?
It was The portal was one of the most notoriously
unreliable websites ever launched. It has not made things easier.
(13:49):
It has not made things more affordable. Medicaid would be
an efficient way to increase coverage. The acaa's Medicaid expansion
is far more expensive. It hasn't saved money it hasn't
increased our ability to get access to healthcare. And if anything,
and you know this, all of you listening, whether you're
Democrat or Republican or unaffiliated, that your healthcare you have
(14:15):
to be your strongest advocate because doctors are stressed, healthcare
systems are stressed. The hospital systems have created a cartel.
They're not as interested in you. And I'm not being
mean about that, but we've gotten too much government in
our health care and it's made it worse, not better.
And yet we have the greatest medical technology on the
(14:37):
planet Earth, but we're finding that people in other countries
can deliver it cheaper and better, and it shouldn't be
that way. We're re litigious out of our yin yangs.
We're just re litigious also, so we had the religiousness
with too much government. And that's a simple math problem
that a first grader can solve, meaning doesn't work. So
(15:00):
where am I going with all that? So the point
I'm saying, or what I'm trying to say, is that
whenever you see a new government program, you should ask
is this really going to solve things? Is this really
going to make something better? Or is it just makes
you feel good because you did something or you appeared
to do something. You know a lot of government officials
(15:24):
and I was an elected one for years years ago,
and as a county commissioner. You want to believe that
government's there to help. And the true thing is you
want government to be there to treat everyone equally. You
want it to protect private property rights. You wanted to
protect citizens. That's the number one thing. All this other
stuff is fluff. The founding fathers never dreamed of a
(15:48):
cradle to grave governmental support system. That was what in
the intent. Again, that sounds a little fashion, doesn't it.
I don't mean for it to. GiB Kaye. Thanks for
(16:10):
being part of the show today. Chat Audam sitting in
for Brett Jensen here on News Talk eleven ten ninety
nine to three WBT. Honor, privileged, pleasure, all those things.
Always to be a part of this incredible family, the staff,
all of them, top to bottom, top notch group of folks,
amazing host, very gracious folks, and it is an honor
(16:31):
pleasure to be a part of it. As always. Now
make you feel humble for a second. I'll try, regardless
of your partisan proclivities. Eighty year old Natalie Grabo of
Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, has become the oldest woman to
finish the iron Man World Championship. The American was the
first female in the eighty to eighty four year old
(16:52):
category to complete. The race. Took place in Hawaii. Sixteen hours,
forty five minutes twenty six seconds, two point four mile swim,
one hundred and twelve mile bike race, twenty six point
two mile run total of one hundred and forty point
six miles. She's eighty, How you do it? Come on,
(17:17):
that's just crazy? Eighty years old? I hope First of all,
I hope I make it there. Be nice because you
get to see some amazing things happen over the next
couple of years before I hit that mark. No, I'm
not there yet, and so if I can, yeah, not
have to use sketchers, you know, just to put my
feet and slid them in just to tie my shoelaces
(17:38):
or something or no, who I am? But wow, I
mean eighty years old, man, that that that's a million
dollar book deal right there. I'll just do is say
here's what I do. Here's what I did. But again,
it wasn't a government program that made her great. It
was digging herself in an accomplishing thing that no one
(18:00):
had ever done before. She did that. It wasn't someone else.
And on that note, you know, we're at where this
historic peace steal could could I say, could this could
be an opportunity for Democrats at the local level, state level,
(18:22):
national level to really start to carve out positive things
they want to accomplish instead of just being opposed to
an individual. You know, they're disdained, they're discussed for the
president overshadows any desire to have accomplishments that make the
(18:44):
country better, stronger, faster, more incredible, create more opportunities for people.
You know, they get caught up in the minutia of him.
So we had a p steel. John Fetterman has come
out and said this is amazing. Former President Bill Clint
has come out on Twitter and said stuff. Leon Panetta,
former Obama Secretary of Defense CIA Director of Liam Panetta,
(19:08):
said this achievement, and it's a significant achievement, would not
have happened without the United States leadership. President Trump deserves
a lot of credit for bringing the parties together. Now
that doesn't mean they don't disagree on topics, but that's
the kind of language that begins to grow our country,
(19:31):
our city, our counties, our entire nation. That's the kind
of language that allows for productive discussion to happen. It's
the kind of stuff that Charlie Kirk would do. When
you go all over the country to places like Chapel
Hill and engage young Americans in disagreements and debates, that
left them both better off to elevate the conversation. And
(19:57):
so today's a great day for peace, it's a great
day for the planet. Hopefully the Ukrainian situation we get underway.
But here at home, you know, you've got a Charlotte
City Council election, a lot of seats that aren't even opposed.
But as you look at these issues, you look at
the government shut down, you know, there's a lot of
people out there saying, hey, the Republicans just end the
(20:20):
filibuster and then they can pass the budget and get
what they want. No, that would make them look petty.
They've got three Democrats working with them. Rand Paul should
get with the program. There will ultimately be a deal
of some type. It's a matter of juxtaposing who's to blame.
You've got crime, the border, the economy, peace, there's plenty
(20:46):
of room for hatred, but it's not productive. So what
is it that the political left at this point would
like to accomplish. If you're listening to Mayor Lyles, you're
listening to council candidates, you know that the few districts
that have some competitive races, what is it if they
were allowed to do whatever they wanted to do to
make Charlotte better? What would they do? Would they expand
(21:10):
light rail and the buses or would they make sure
it's effective and efficient before they went and spent millions
more dollars? Would you just add cops on the street
or would you ask law enforcement what is it that's
going to make us second to none on reducing crime
in key parts of our city. Maybe it's not just
(21:32):
throwing cops out there. Maybe it's having more effective communications
and neighborhoods. What can we do to stop the repeat offenders?
Do we prosecute you get with the Mecklenburg DA's off
and say hey, start prosecuting folks more and making things stick.
Or do you just want to throw more money on
a revolving door and then wonder why it's costing you
(21:52):
millions to put the same people in in and then
they come back out. When I was on the County commission,
one of my fellow commissioners, older gentleman that I really respected,
and he used to say, hey, ninety percent, he wasn't
the first one. Ninety percent of solving any problem is
understanding at first. And I think from an observational standpoint
(22:16):
that a lot of people are not so interested in
solving problems that are in the political realm. They're more
interested in the propaganda. They're more interested in just saying things.
And unfortunately, social media has not just taken the political
types that want to propagandaze, but it's taking a lot
(22:38):
of other folks that don't have a lot. And I
don't mean to be mean, because everyone you have a
right to debate, but we don't see debate in a
lot of social media. It's just like you throw something
at a wall and see what sticks. And then media
tends to find one piece of a story and run
with that to be the first to get something out
(22:58):
without a lot of discussion and depth. And that's an
unfortunate reality. But we as humans that have the ability
to reason, should take an extra bath when you go
through something. What is this story, trying to say what
really happened to you? Because I tell you, ever since
Charlie Kirk's murder, I've been astounded at people on the
(23:20):
left and right, but more people in the right on
this one with the conspiracy theories. I mean, I thought
the Roswell situation with the Aliens was fascinating, or the
moon landing being faked, those kind of things fascinating, but man,
the Charlie Kirk murder and the Candace Oh, and what
happened to Candace. I've known candas for many years, astute, bright, articulate,
(23:47):
just an amazing young voice out there, and now she's
gone full on flamethrowing, conspiracy, Israel killed in there was
a special meeting. It's all in that that doesn't breed
anything that makes our country better, not right now. And
(24:17):
here you get screened at the last segment of the show,
chat out. I'm setting up for Bett Jensen honor privileged pleasure,
as always ed for you to be part of the audience,
and I want to say that. So we've talked about
kind of common sense ways of looking at things, the
role of government, I know, boring, boring, blah blah blah,
big days a rather tragic story. It's been mentioned on news,
(24:41):
but it is worth mentioning. Lending Tree CEO founder Doug
Lebda died in an all ATV vehicle over the weekend,
and that's you know, what I would say is when
you hear me talk about role of government and stuff,
I've always I'm always a huge believer in the role
of the entrepreneur in changing the world in which we live.
(25:07):
It's not government. We're blessed with the kind of government
that does less. We have a constitution that delineates what
governments cannot do, it limits them, and it's it's the
power of you, the individual, the citizen, the communities that
come together. That's what makes us great. That's what makes
us unique. We have a piece of paper underglass the
National Archives that delineates things come from God and that
(25:33):
we the people have the power. And it's and it's
and it's and it's enshrined in paper, not people. It's
not people, it's it's a piece of paper. And as
long as we respect that piece of paper, we have
a country. Now back to Doug's death. Doug Lebda's death
(25:56):
over the weekend ATV. He was someone who struggled with
getting a to get a loan back in nineteen ninety
six and creates lending Tree because he frustrations mount his
frustrations mounted trying to get his first mortgage, so it
was launched nationally in nineteen ninety eight, became a public
company the year two thousand, was later acquired by an
internet conglomerate IC Interactive Court, before spinning off on its
(26:20):
own again in two thousand and eight. The point I'd
make is that's an individual who saw something that was
missing and the call of the entrepreneur hit him, and
he changed things and created markets and created competition, and
other companies spun off from that company, and the world changed.
(26:42):
And that's what makes this country astounding. That's why people
from all over the world want to come here. It's
not it's not because we have great government programs. It's
we because we want entrepreneurs to change the world. And
that's the beauty of entrepreneurs. What is a great idea
twenty or thirty years ago gets surpassed, It either gets
(27:04):
becomes better. I mean, Apple was on the ropes in
the nineties and look at where they are now. Microsoft
was indomitable. Not like that now because new competition, new
things change alter Who would have thought Amazon would be
what it is, And that's great, and it provides jobs
and opportunity, and it changes the way we live our lives.
(27:29):
It's not government programs that make us great. It's not
that the best governments it kind of gets out of
your way but protects people. We get caught up in that,
We get caught up in the minutia of that. You know,
we think and see. You have a bunch of people,
and especially on the left. I'm hoping what I hope
happens after Donald Trump and Mayor Lyles Democrats here in
(27:50):
Charlotte Mecklenburg, the state of North Carolina. I hope they
do come up with some ideas that aren't just about
making government bigger, making government better, not just castigating and
throwing stones at any idea that a Republican has, but
it comes up and says, hey, this is an idea
(28:11):
we believe would be a better idea and sell it.
But instead, I think a lot of times both parties
just want to hurl stones at the other party and say, hey,
they're terrible, we're less terrible. We're just slightly less terrible
than they are. So vote for US. And what we
now know is when Donald Trump went to solve the
(28:34):
immigration problem and people said it couldn't be done, it's
been done. When people said you couldn't have peace in
all these other places, he went and said, yeah, we can.
And it's fascinating kind of have a third grade way
of communicating really complex ideas, and the peace process is
(28:57):
one of those easy to understand, isn't it. Now. Now
you've got Palestinians standing up to Hamas. A year ago,
no one would have said that. You've got the Egyptians,
the Saudis, that all know that the greatest path to
peace is creating economic partnerships. And if you've ever been
to that area of the world, I was very blessed
(29:18):
to have traveled to Israel throughout the country back in
twenty e twelve. But when you're in that area and
I went to Storo, which is right next to Gaza,
you could see across Gaza to the Mediterranean, you realize
how amazingly beautiful that could be. It's called Venezuela. Cuba
and Gaza should be three of the most incredible places
(29:39):
on earth. But due to bad governance, bad priorities in
Gaza's case, Hamas is Israel, So they just spend all
the money that would have helped their people to try
to fight fights that they accomplished nothing or worse, destroyed
their country. Cuba could be the greatest place the Caribbean's
ever seen. It's the largest island the Caribbean basin, and
(30:01):
their governance is what's destroying what otherwise should be one
of the places that every one of the planet would
like to go to. Great location, beautiful place, just amazing. Venezuela,
one of the most mineral rich, economically wealth that could
have been not now but certainly environmentally amazing and biodiverse
(30:22):
places on the planet destroying itself to the point that
they're trying to get their citizens to eat rabbits. Those
are big government places. One of them is was terrorists driven.
The other two are government driven, and they've driven their
people into horrific poverty with no opportunities and breadlines. That's
(30:47):
too much governance, and unfortunately you look at the usl
property down there or hold property as a way as
say a territory of Puerto Rico where I was raised,
it's destroying that country or province territory. But you would
think local leaders in this area would look at those
(31:12):
things and say, wait, those ideas don't work. Maybe we
should make government more efficient, Maybe we should get it
out of the way in many instances and focus on
making people safer, regardless of their skin color, regardless of
their sex orientation. Treat everyone as equals. Protect the people
that need it the most. But don't go out and
(31:34):
create and spend millions of dollars because you have some
kind of political agenda to accomplish for a given group
of people. Like I said, Charlotte, think about what Charlotte
could be, not what it is right now, but what
it could be because it's an amazing place, great shopping.
(31:55):
I've said all this stuff already, but anyhow, some other
things to mention to you. As I was looking through
the news meane, I was like, and I get that
TV stations have to pick and choose and they want
to lead local and stuff like this. But I was
looking at WBT and I like some of the reports
(32:16):
over there I know personally. And then WRIL, probably the
largest news station. Neither one of them mentioned the piece today,
And I get it. You want to lead local, and
WBT does that. They lead local and they will continue
to do so. But you think you could mention it.
It's a pretty big deal, historic even so, you would
(32:39):
think it would make it up there. But anyway, I
was going through both of them and even today Josh
Stein the governor. You would think the first Jewish governor
would have been all over, but instead, what I did
see was he's upset about the legislature possibly doing some redistricting.
I remember we're ten and four. I think probably could
(32:59):
be eleven in three. I don't know, but he's trying
to make score political points right now. I don't know.
Now the legislature needs to get us back together and
finish a budget up. But it has been an honor
and a pleasure to be a part of the show today.
Brett Jensen, great guy, Glad to see this format he
has and look forward to being back with you guys soon.
(33:21):
And I always remember News Talk eleven, ten, nine, nine
three WBT is the place you need to go to
find out what the heck's going on. And there's a
coaching show coming up shortly and I hope you'll stay
tuned for that as well. Always keep your phone and
your radio tuned to the station to find out more so.
(33:41):
Having said all that, folks, let's hope the Panthers win
another one this coming weekend. If I said that wrong
and they have a buy, I'm gonna feel like an idiot.
Chat Adams, your guest host. Thanks for being a part
of everything today. We'll talk to you soon.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
