Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time
for Florida man. I thought this was America.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Naked Florida man with a beer and women's peenties was
arrested for exposure at a crowded beach topsail steak park
the sixty year old Freeport and more than one ways.
Man was found naked any kkid between two beach umbrellas.
He had multiple beer cans next to him and a
pair of women's underwear.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
He was booked in a.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Jail for his exposure of sexual seck s h u
L sexual organ set officials. His name Martin Lebuff Are
you kidding me? Martin the Beef for real? Sixty years old?
What is happening with his face in this photo and
his mugshot? It did he get punched in both cheeks?
Looks like he did, But yeah, he was sitting between
them two umbrellas and there was no women with him.
(00:58):
Police noted, which is actually hysterical. He had ladies underwear,
but there weren't no ladies that was with him, and
they said it was a crowdeday at the beach. Families
were out and about, and thankfully they said only two adults.
Those were the only people who saw him exposing himself.
He was arrested and booked into Walton County Jail for
being a pervert twenty five hundred dollars bond.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
There you go. I'm offended.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
That is an abridgment of my right to not see
gross stuff, you know, like that's nasty.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Also, let's see.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
A guy with a horn tattoo and on his face
faces burglary charges. I am very surprised that a man
who made poor choices about facial tattoos would also make
poor choices about taking property that's not his.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Aren't you so shocked?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So here's the other big story, and this happened in Frisco, Texas. Frisco, Texas, Frisco,
Texas is you know, it's a suburb of Dallas, the DFW.
They call it the DFW Metroplex. You have Dallas and
Fort Worth and it's the cities are so huge and
they've expanded so much that they just kind of, you know,
morphed together and now it's you know, it's just called
(02:05):
you know, DFW. But this is a suburb of Dallas
and Frisco. Nice area, right nice, you know, family area.
And there was a track meet with several Texas high
schools on Wednesday of this week and it got violent.
It got violent in the stands, not even like in
the locker room. Somebody decided to do this right out
(02:26):
in the public. One student stabbed another after an altercation
over a seat in the stands. Austin Metcalf, a standout
football star, was attending sitting in the stands. The fight
broke out after a student from another school, seventeen year
old Carmelo Anthony, was told he was sitting in the
wrong place. He brandished a knife and stabbed Metcalf in
the chest. Metcalf's twin brother, Hunter, was also there and
(02:50):
tried to save his brother. He stated, I tried to
whip around as fast as I could. I looked at
my brother and I'm not going to talk about the rest.
I tried to help.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Him, and.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I can't imagine watching your identical twin be murdered in
front of you. They rushed Metcalf to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He did not make it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
His dad said, I could see all the blood, I
saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned.
I found his brother.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We rushed to the hospital and we prayed he goes.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It's God's plan. I don't understand it, but they weren't
able to save him.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
This is murder. It is murder.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I have a very unpopular opinion that I'm about to unleash.
A lot of people are making this a race issue
because the student was black who stabbed Carmelo Anthony's black
and Metcalf is white.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And I don't know if it's a race issue or
if it's a troubled young.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Man issue or a boyish I don't know, but I
mean in this Metcalf has such a bright future ahead
of him. I think that Carmelo Anthony should be eligible
for the death penalty. I don't want people like that
walking around on my streets. And I think that society
rots because we have this insipid, remedial, immature version of
(04:17):
restorative justice, and society continues to rot because the rot
thrives on that indulgence.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I think Carmelo Anthony should be put to death.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I think anybody who does anything like this race has
nothing to do with it. If you are so savage
that you can't go to a tract meet without stabbing
someone in the chest. You don't deserve to be on
this mortal coil. And I think that if we had
strong enough punishments and strong enough deterrence, then maybe people
would think twice about throwing their lives away because they
(04:50):
got mad over a bleacher seat. This is inexcusable, absolutely inexcusable.
And I know, and I've seen it. I know most
of the debate has, you know, devolved around, oh, it's
a racial issue, where people riding in the streets over that.
That isn't even like for me, that's not even the
priority or the priority here is that there is no
(05:11):
deterrent and people think that they can do stuff like
this with little to no repercussions, and they're a disagreement
over a bleacher seat isn't worth losing your life over
because you killed someone. In response, I mean, that's but
I will say, yeah, there's not going to be no
public outrage, there's not going to be any protests, there
(05:31):
won't be any marches, there's not going to be anything
to that effect, and the media is not really talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I do agree with all of that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And the family, you know, to their credit, they're not
wanting to make this political but they are saying this
is murder, and they're right, and I think that they're
tact is the right one to take.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It is murder. If you're reacting like that.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Before you hit age twenty one, you are going to
act like that and continue behaving that way, and it's
going to get worse.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That is simple statistics.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
This is what insurance companies, when they render decisions about
what they're going to the rates are going to be
for new drivers. That's why young men get you know,
they have higher rates than others.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There's there's.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Once you get into this. Once you have this, you
start this behavioral pattern, and when it's affirmed by a
lack of consequence in the judicial system, you are stamping
a forever a criminal. You are just creating one. And
maybe I know some people think it's harsh. I'm all
for the death penalty, and I have no problem. I
(06:41):
think I think it's insipid to compare it to abortion,
and I see people do that all the time, Like,
wait a minute, you're comparing a grown young adult or
a grown person who knows the consequence of their decision
and chooses to behave in a violent and reckless manner. Anyway,
fully aware of the concert quinces for it. You're comparing
(07:02):
that person's choice of free will to that of an
innocent baby at the mercy of the mother in which
the baby resides. That is a that's drunk logic. That's bad.
Let's not do that. That's like the logic equivalent of
girl math.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Let's not.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
But I don't think this is a And I know,
like I said, I know people are making it a
race issue, but I'm tired of these week I'm tired
of weak consequences, Weak consequences breed reckless society. I think
you should be eligible for the death penalty to just
do that, to stab someone in the chest, to have
such a short fuse that you're going to kill somebody
over a bleacher seat. You need to be off this
(07:40):
mortal coil. The planet will not benefit with your existence.
Get out, people can This is how I look at it.
You're going to have a nicer society when people realize
that there's consequences for such barbaric behavior. Our friends over
at tech the kel Tech PR fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's a new build from kel Tech. It's a five seven.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's a rotary barrel pistol, and it's first of its kind,
forty percent lighter than the next lightest five to seven,
and that innovative rotary barrel makes it so light, so nice.
Now I keep joking about this, and just because I
just find it funny. The left always says, oh my gosh,
the clips they call them clips. You can actually be
they can be correct with this one for once, because
it doesn't use a traditional magazine. This is the other
(08:25):
reason why it's so light and slim. The unique top
loading design replaces the traditional mag with a strip of clips.
You have a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus
one capacity super little recoil, quickest and easiest field strip
out there. The MSRP is only three ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Y'all. This is so affordable, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm just saying, Mother's Day is coming up, ladies. If
you want a nice five to seven that you actually
can realistically carry, this is it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Dudes.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If you just want a lighter, thinner one, this is
one for you too. Ever, because you know Father's days
after Mother's Day. Visit cal Tech Weapons dot com to

Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's the first of it's kind.

Cal Tech PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in
five seven in k E L t Ec Weapons dot Com.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Tell them to assent you and now all of the
news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Five need knife control. In d C, DC mass stabbing
suspect was arrested after attacking six people, including innocent bystanders,
at random and a substance fueled frenzy try that in
a concealed carry town. The DC police they responded to
the scene. It was two miles from the capital. It
was like three twenty pm yesterday. After we got off air.
(09:29):
They found him, the male suspect on the ground stuff
suffering from stab wounds.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But he had heard a number of people.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
They said he was in a quote alternate mental state
from an unknown substance, and that's how it began. Also
rising odds. I am really upset over this and I
feel betrayed. Smod the asteroid that we thought might you know,
kind of ping the Earth is actually threatens to hit
(09:57):
the Moon instead. I mean, you know, that's going to
just mess stuff up for everybody, but it's not going
to be the end of humanity. Sadly, I'm saying it's
a it's a huge asteroid. Now it has a four
percent chance of smashing into the Moon, so there is
a chance though it's they thought it's it's the size
of it is capable of leveling a city. According to
(10:18):
data from the James Web Space Telescope, it has that
three point one percent chance of hid in our home planet,
apparently the biggest highest chance, more than any other asteroid
that they've measured previously, and it required the Earth's planetary
defense community to leap into action. Further observant observations quickly
rolled out. The asteroid called twenty twenty four yr four,
(10:39):
or Giant Disappointment, will strike Earth on December twenty second,
twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Wow, we gotta wait that long. Maybe it can change
its trajectory.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Could we send Bruce Willis up there and have Aerosmith
play and he can like jackhammer the asteroid into a
nude trajectory. I mean, I'm sure it's possible. I know,
engineering guys, because I can eyeball a wall and hang
a picture. I have a story about that. It was
like perfectly in the center. I swear to you, my
husband's like that. That's an that's an exception, not a rule.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Amazon has a bid to buy TikTok pert New York
Times does that? Does that mean we got to use
TikTok if somebody buys it? You telling me I got
to create an account on TikTok, I will annoy the
hell out of everybody on purpose, I will create the
most horrible content. So uh yeah, they said that they
put in a last minute offer to buy TikTok uh
(11:29):
And where I guess we're gonna It's now we're playing
wait and see see if they take up the offer.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
San Francisco's rethinking it's free handouts of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Wow, I wonder why. I wonder why that's happening.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
San Francisco's now scratching their heads thinking, you know what,
maybe it wasn't a great idea to hand out free
drugs and drug paraphernalia to drug addicts. Maybe it wasn't
a good idea. It's like you know, giving kids to
a kid touch or why would.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You do this?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
When was it ever a good idea?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
They thought it was at some point.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean they literally had billboards around the city where
it was like, do it with friends people partying and
doing drugs?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Like, what what in the world?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I mean, they they lit to call San Francisco liberal
is an insult to classical liberalism. I'm not gonna do
Tokeville that way. They are morons. It's a moron city.
And so yeah, they said that they would. They were
giving people clean foil pipes and plastic straws so they
could smoke their fentanyl and meth amphetamines. Oh my gosh,
you guys are so nice. You know what's gonna make
(12:34):
someone stop doing drugs and living on the streets and
being a tax paying, responsible citizen giving them more foil
to smoke their kraken? Do you use foil for crack?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's like a little It's like a barefoot contessa out there.
What the hell, right, here's my ingredients. Here's what you're
gonna need for your fentanyl. You're gonna need your your foil.
I don't even know what else you need anyway, So
they and they spent, by the way, hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually on these supplies. And speaking of California,
(13:05):
two cities in Sokyle now have the highest sales tax
in the county in the country after the law went
to effect, in addition to the high income tax and
everything else.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Great job, guys.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Gold prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research,
the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong
demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made
me take action and why I've bought precious medals like
gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.
(13:36):
And that company is gold Coe. They're a huge supporter
of this show and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five gold and silver kit jam packed with critical information
about buying precious medals. It was a huge help, not
just for me, but to all of you. If you
do this and for my audience, you could also qualify
for up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
(13:58):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit
Danae likes goold dot com to learn more. That's Danae
Likes gold dot com. Why is it now? You guys know,
I love me some sports ball, right, love the sports ball. Actually,
the only sport that I care about is baseball. And
I'll keep I keep up with the Cardinals. If I
(14:18):
can't watch, you know, every game, I'll keep up. I'll
keep up with how they're doing in the season. And
I used to love watching basketball and can't play it
to save my life, even though I tried every varsity,
every other thing but not basketball killed my soul.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It was the one thing I couldn't give Fire City
and I was still living.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
But anyway, so you know, I don't really pay much
attention to basketball, so this was out of my purview.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
But then Steve made mention of it. And I'm trying
to figure.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Out who the babysitters are that are finding people for
just a non disruptive celebratory gesture that is not vulgar
on the court.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
About this seventy five thousand dollars fine for John Morant,
Jay Morant, who they said he did a gun celebration
before hitting the Grizzlies game winner at the buzzer and
it was fourteen to nine. Morient put his hands up
to simulate. I have to say his are actually pretty
(15:22):
because is he like simulating and holding a rifle even
though he makes a handgun with one yeah yeah, that
one angle.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Looks like he's yeah and.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Like NBA sent in Like one of the NBA central
accounts tweeted, oh, here is Morient with a gun gesture
again like it's bad? Would you people stop these giant pansies?
And Moran said after the win, he goes, I feel
like I've been the villain for the villain for the
last two years, not not even just to this crowd.
He was well aware that the gestures have made headlines
(15:54):
the NBA. The NBA apparently was looking into it. What
do you gotta look into? This is how you make it?
What do you got to look into? Eugenius says. And
then you have these people who are like, this is
this is Morient doing the exact same celebration on four
different games over the last month.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It it is.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
This is why is he seventy five thousand dollars? What
is the objection to it?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Is it because it's a gun? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I mean, I don't see how and I could understand,
for you know, if he did something that was like disruptive, right, Okay,
if he did something that was disruptive and interrupted play
or was it distraction or if he was vulgar?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, I okay, I could get that, you would, you
would persuade me. But I don't think this falls into
that category.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Now, Steve was the one who saw it, and I'm
gonna ask you, Steve, so is it just because he's
making the gun gesture that's it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I mean his his perspective is that I told you
off break that he got caught on an Instagram live
holding a firearm in a car like when he was
like twenty years old, and ever since then, the NBA
has had him on your a microscope. So every time
he does that fake gesture, they just they've been itching
to find him and now they're going to finally do it.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Seventy five thousand dollars. That is insane.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You know what, he ought to get a tattoo of
a gun on his hand and just hold his hand up,
That's what he ought to do. I would do that,
or like just get a rifle tattooed on the side
of your finger and just hold your finger out. Just
does that mean I cause I mean just I just
can't believe that that's something that's a finable offense.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's a finable offense. I'd still do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He's probably has like more money than the average bear,
I would say, so he can probably afford it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
But it's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's like getting mad at the kid in school that
ate his pop tart in the shape of a gun.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Right, asinine people have this? What do they they think?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Did they think his hand's going to turn into a
gun like anime? It's gonna just like morph into a gun.
I don't know gun's life. He's going to turn into
that except his head. It's a hand fruit what in
the world. But he said he was well aware that
these gestures have made headlines because there are pansies out
in the world and he's not. I mean, I don't
(18:17):
under it's just so goofy seventy five thousand dollars.

It's God's plan. I don't understand it, but they weren't
able to save him.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
This is murder. It is murder.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I have a very unpopular opinion that I'm about to unleash.
A lot of people are making this a race issue
because the student was black who stabbed Carmelo Anthony's black
and Metcalf is white.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And I don't know if it's a race issue or
if it's a troubled young.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Man issue or a boyish I don't know, but I
mean in this Metcalf has such a bright future ahead
of him. I think that Carmelo Anthony should be eligible
for the death penalty. I don't want people like that
walking around on my streets. And I think that society
rots because we have this insipid, remedial, immature version of
(04:17):
restorative justice, and society continues to rot because the rot
thrives on that indulgence.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I think Carmelo Anthony should be put to death.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I think anybody who does anything like this race has
nothing to do with it. If you are so savage
that you can't go to a tract meet without stabbing
someone in the chest. You don't deserve to be on
this mortal coil. And I think that if we had
strong enough punishments and strong enough deterrence, then maybe people
would think twice about throwing their lives away because they
(04:50):
got mad over a bleacher seat. This is inexcusable, absolutely inexcusable.
And I know, and I've seen it. I know most
of the debate has, you know, devolved around, oh, it's
a racial issue, where people riding in the streets over that.
That isn't even like for me, that's not even the
priority or the priority here is that there is no
(05:11):
deterrent and people think that they can do stuff like
this with little to no repercussions, and they're a disagreement
over a bleacher seat isn't worth losing your life over
because you killed someone. In response, I mean, that's but
I will say, yeah, there's not going to be no
public outrage, there's not going to be any protests, there
(05:31):
won't be any marches, there's not going to be anything
to that effect, and the media is not really talking
about it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I do agree with all of that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And the family, you know, to their credit, they're not
wanting to make this political but they are saying this
is murder, and they're right, and I think that they're
tact is the right one to take.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It is murder. If you're reacting like that.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Before you hit age twenty one, you are going to
act like that and continue behaving that way, and it's
going to get worse.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That is simple statistics.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
This is what insurance companies, when they render decisions about
what they're going to the rates are going to be
for new drivers. That's why young men get you know,
they have higher rates than others.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
There's there's.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Once you get into this. Once you have this, you
start this behavioral pattern, and when it's affirmed by a
lack of consequence in the judicial system, you are stamping
a forever a criminal. You are just creating one. And
maybe I know some people think it's harsh. I'm all
for the death penalty, and I have no problem. I
(06:41):
think I think it's insipid to compare it to abortion,
and I see people do that all the time, Like,
wait a minute, you're comparing a grown young adult or
a grown person who knows the consequence of their decision
and chooses to behave in a violent and reckless manner. Anyway,
fully aware of the concert quinces for it. You're comparing
(07:02):
that person's choice of free will to that of an
innocent baby at the mercy of the mother in which
the baby resides. That is a that's drunk logic. That's bad.
Let's not do that. That's like the logic equivalent of
girl math.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Let's not.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
But I don't think this is a And I know,
like I said, I know people are making it a
race issue, but I'm tired of these week I'm tired
of weak consequences, Weak consequences breed reckless society. I think
you should be eligible for the death penalty to just
do that, to stab someone in the chest, to have
such a short fuse that you're going to kill somebody
over a bleacher seat. You need to be off this
(07:40):
mortal coil. The planet will not benefit with your existence.
Get out, people can This is how I look at it.
You're going to have a nicer society when people realize
that there's consequences for such barbaric behavior. Our friends over
at tech the kel Tech PR fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's a new build from kel Tech. It's a five seven.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's a rotary barrel pistol, and it's first of its kind,
forty percent lighter than the next lightest five to seven,
and that innovative rotary barrel makes it so light, so nice.
Now I keep joking about this, and just because I
just find it funny. The left always says, oh my gosh,
the clips they call them clips. You can actually be
they can be correct with this one for once, because
it doesn't use a traditional magazine. This is the other
(08:25):
reason why it's so light and slim. The unique top
loading design replaces the traditional mag with a strip of clips.
You have a slimmer carry profile and a twenty plus
one capacity super little recoil, quickest and easiest field strip
out there. The MSRP is only three ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Y'all. This is so affordable, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm just saying, Mother's Day is coming up, ladies. If
you want a nice five to seven that you actually
can realistically carry, this is it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Dudes.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If you just want a lighter, thinner one, this is
one for you too. Ever, because you know Father's days
after Mother's Day. Visit cal Tech Weapons dot com to
learn more innovation performance Keltech.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's the first of it's kind.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Cal Tech PR fifty seven rotary barrel pistol chambered in
five seven in k E L t Ec Weapons dot Com.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Tell them to assent you and now all of the
news you would probably miss. It's time for Dana's quick.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Five need knife control. In d C, DC mass stabbing
suspect was arrested after attacking six people, including innocent bystanders,
at random and a substance fueled frenzy try that in
a concealed carry town. The DC police they responded to
the scene. It was two miles from the capital. It
was like three twenty pm yesterday. After we got off air.
(09:29):
They found him, the male suspect on the ground stuff
suffering from stab wounds.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But he had heard a number of people.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
They said he was in a quote alternate mental state
from an unknown substance, and that's how it began. Also
rising odds. I am really upset over this and I
feel betrayed. Smod the asteroid that we thought might you know,
kind of ping the Earth is actually threatens to hit
(09:57):
the Moon instead. I mean, you know, that's going to
just mess stuff up for everybody, but it's not going
to be the end of humanity. Sadly, I'm saying it's
a it's a huge asteroid. Now it has a four
percent chance of smashing into the Moon, so there is
a chance though it's they thought it's it's the size
of it is capable of leveling a city. According to
(10:18):
data from the James Web Space Telescope, it has that
three point one percent chance of hid in our home planet,
apparently the biggest highest chance, more than any other asteroid
that they've measured previously, and it required the Earth's planetary
defense community to leap into action. Further observant observations quickly
rolled out. The asteroid called twenty twenty four yr four,
(10:39):
or Giant Disappointment, will strike Earth on December twenty second,
twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Wow, we gotta wait that long. Maybe it can change
its trajectory.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Could we send Bruce Willis up there and have Aerosmith
play and he can like jackhammer the asteroid into a
nude trajectory. I mean, I'm sure it's possible. I know,
engineering guys, because I can eyeball a wall and hang
a picture. I have a story about that. It was
like perfectly in the center. I swear to you, my
husband's like that. That's an that's an exception, not a rule.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Amazon has a bid to buy TikTok pert New York
Times does that? Does that mean we got to use
TikTok if somebody buys it? You telling me I got
to create an account on TikTok, I will annoy the
hell out of everybody on purpose, I will create the
most horrible content. So uh yeah, they said that they
put in a last minute offer to buy TikTok uh
(11:29):
And where I guess we're gonna It's now we're playing
wait and see see if they take up the offer.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
San Francisco's rethinking it's free handouts of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Wow, I wonder why. I wonder why that's happening.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
San Francisco's now scratching their heads thinking, you know what,
maybe it wasn't a great idea to hand out free
drugs and drug paraphernalia to drug addicts. Maybe it wasn't
a good idea. It's like you know, giving kids to
a kid touch or why would.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You do this?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
When was it ever a good idea?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
They thought it was at some point.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I mean they literally had billboards around the city where
it was like, do it with friends people partying and
doing drugs?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Like, what what in the world?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I mean, they they lit to call San Francisco liberal
is an insult to classical liberalism. I'm not gonna do
Tokeville that way. They are morons. It's a moron city.
And so yeah, they said that they would. They were
giving people clean foil pipes and plastic straws so they
could smoke their fentanyl and meth amphetamines. Oh my gosh,
you guys are so nice. You know what's gonna make
(12:34):
someone stop doing drugs and living on the streets and
being a tax paying, responsible citizen giving them more foil
to smoke their kraken? Do you use foil for crack?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's like a little It's like a barefoot contessa out there.
What the hell, right, here's my ingredients. Here's what you're
gonna need for your fentanyl. You're gonna need your your foil.
I don't even know what else you need anyway, So
they and they spent, by the way, hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually on these supplies. And speaking of California,
(13:05):
two cities in Sokyle now have the highest sales tax
in the county in the country after the law went
to effect, in addition to the high income tax and
everything else.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Great job, guys.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Gold prices have surged over forty percent since January twenty
twenty four, consistently reaching new highs. According to Goldman Sachs Research,
the upward trend is expected to persist due to strong
demand from central banks. It's stuff like this that's made
me take action and why I've bought precious medals like
gold and silver. I've partnered with a great company that
makes it super easy to buy, easy, transparent and simple.
(13:36):
And that company is gold Coe. They're a huge supporter
of this show and they're the best at what they do.
And right now you can get a free twenty twenty
five gold and silver kit jam packed with critical information
about buying precious medals. It was a huge help, not
just for me, but to all of you. If you
do this and for my audience, you could also qualify
for up to a ten percent instant match in bonus silver.
(13:58):
It's a really great deal, so don't miss out. Visit
Danae likes goold dot com to learn more. That's Danae
Likes gold dot com. Why is it now? You guys know,
I love me some sports ball, right, love the sports ball. Actually,
the only sport that I care about is baseball. And
I'll keep I keep up with the Cardinals. If I
(14:18):
can't watch, you know, every game, I'll keep up. I'll
keep up with how they're doing in the season. And
I used to love watching basketball and can't play it
to save my life, even though I tried every varsity,
every other thing but not basketball killed my soul.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It was the one thing I couldn't give Fire City
and I was still living.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
But anyway, so you know, I don't really pay much
attention to basketball, so this was out of my purview.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
But then Steve made mention of it. And I'm trying
to figure.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Out who the babysitters are that are finding people for
just a non disruptive celebratory gesture that is not vulgar
on the court.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
And I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
About this seventy five thousand dollars fine for John Morant,
Jay Morant, who they said he did a gun celebration
before hitting the Grizzlies game winner at the buzzer and
it was fourteen to nine. Morient put his hands up
to simulate. I have to say his are actually pretty
(15:22):
because is he like simulating and holding a rifle even
though he makes a handgun with one yeah yeah, that
one angle.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Looks like he's yeah and.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Like NBA sent in Like one of the NBA central
accounts tweeted, oh, here is Morient with a gun gesture
again like it's bad? Would you people stop these giant pansies?
And Moran said after the win, he goes, I feel
like I've been the villain for the villain for the
last two years, not not even just to this crowd.
He was well aware that the gestures have made headlines
(15:54):
the NBA. The NBA apparently was looking into it. What
do you gotta look into? This is how you make it?
What do you got to look into? Eugenius says. And
then you have these people who are like, this is
this is Morient doing the exact same celebration on four
different games over the last month.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It it is.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
This is why is he seventy five thousand dollars? What
is the objection to it?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Is it because it's a gun? Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I mean, I don't see how and I could understand,
for you know, if he did something that was like disruptive, right, Okay,
if he did something that was disruptive and interrupted play
or was it distraction or if he was vulgar?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Right, I okay, I could get that, you would, you
would persuade me. But I don't think this falls into
that category.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Now, Steve was the one who saw it, and I'm
gonna ask you, Steve, so is it just because he's
making the gun gesture that's it?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I mean his his perspective is that I told you
off break that he got caught on an Instagram live
holding a firearm in a car like when he was
like twenty years old, and ever since then, the NBA
has had him on your a microscope. So every time
he does that fake gesture, they just they've been itching
to find him and now they're going to finally do it.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Seventy five thousand dollars. That is insane.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You know what, he ought to get a tattoo of
a gun on his hand and just hold his hand up,
That's what he ought to do. I would do that,
or like just get a rifle tattooed on the side
of your finger and just hold your finger out. Just
does that mean I cause I mean just I just
can't believe that that's something that's a finable offense.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's a finable offense. I'd still do it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He's probably has like more money than the average bear,
I would say, so he can probably afford it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
But it's just stupid.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's like getting mad at the kid in school that
ate his pop tart in the shape of a gun.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Right, asinine people have this? What do they they think?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Did they think his hand's going to turn into a
gun like anime? It's gonna just like morph into a gun.
I don't know gun's life. He's going to turn into
that except his head. It's a hand fruit what in
the world. But he said he was well aware that
these gestures have made headlines because there are pansies out
in the world and he's not. I mean, I don't
(18:17):
under it's just so goofy seventy five thousand dollars.
