Speaker 1 (00:27):
And you can also get it on Amazon dot com
to uh market. We got it all straightened out with Amazon.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, what's what's good? What's the deal with Amazon's that's
tough to deal with sometimes.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
This was the first time that ever it seemed like
they wanted to actually print the book. So they're they're
printing their their books of their selling and I have
my own books. It's the same, it's the same book,
but it's it's I almost feel like, you know, uh,
I'm getting John d Rockefeller here with standard oil. You know,
(00:59):
they want they want vertical integration of the product. But
that's okay. I'm selling a lot of books. I'm doing fine,
so it's okay, It's okay. I'm fine with Amazon.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, hey, Jasmine Crockett. You know, all these these democrats,
one is dumber than the other. They act so dumb,
they say these dumb things. Now she's actually highly educated,
but she's acting very dumb. Is that is this what
you got to do now to be a popular Democrat?
Act really dopey?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm watching all these
democrats eating each other alive, you know, I mean she
forced out all read. I mean, you know, he was
pretty weak, but at least he had some experience, you know,
as a you know, he was a former Cowboys football player,
you know, so I mean he had some experience in
the real world. I mean, and now this crazy woman
(01:49):
is there. You know, now you got you know Dan Goldman.
I mean, wasn't he terror isn't he terrible enough as
a congressman for New York? But you know, now you
got what's his name, louder is running in the Bradland.
The only thing is that he got arrested trying to,
you know, interfere with an Ice operation. That's that's his
only qualification to run against Goldman. And you know, you
(02:11):
got the crazy guy in Maine who claims he's working class,
even though he went to the hotch Kiss School at Connecticut.
He promotes himself as a working class against Janet Mills.
It's like these Democrats are starting to, you know, really
hear each other apart in these upcoming primaries, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, so it's so crazy to the left. They're all lunatics.
They're on. Is somebody going to come along, like a
Bill Clinton, a moderate rise up before twenty twenty eight
and like lead them back to the middle. Is that
going to happen?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know? You know in the baseball in the baseball
teams always see if we got anybody coming up in
the farm system. I think, you know, the Democrats, I
don't see any Bill Clinton's in the farm system, do you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Josh Shapiro?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Maybe maybe, But you know, he's got the same problem
he had in only twenty four. They they they don't
like him because he's Jewish. Yeah, I mean, isn't that
what it boils down to?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, well, you got the Fetterman's pretty normal, but uh,
you have to keep your eyes.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I don't know, I mean, it's still it's still I mean,
I I agree with what you said, and I you know,
I he has a higher approval rating among Pennsylvania Republicans
the Democrats. But you know, there is there are these
lingering health issues, you know, don't don't you have to
wonder about him. I mean even if he you know,
even if he did finally decide to you know, put
(03:33):
on a pair of long pants and a tie and
all that kind of stuff, you know, I mean, you'd
still have to worry about his health. I don't, I
don't know, I don't. I don't see anybody out there
that that that is that it's normal to run. And
you know, you got this guy Wes Moore in Maryland.
He's got all these you know, he's he's got a
lot of resume problems, you know, danang Dick resume type problems,
(03:56):
you know, bronze stars that weren't issued, and you know,
working at Deutsche Bank, which he apparently wasn't working at.
I don't understand all these people that want to come.
I give you another example, that guy Trone in Maryland,
the guy who ran for the Senate, the guy he
started Total Wine. So I mean there's a guy that
(04:16):
I mean, he's an uber successful businessman. So he lose,
he gives up his seat in Congress to unsuccessfully run
for the Senate, loses, and then now he wants to
come back and run for Congress against the rich woman
who took his place in his old congressional district. You know.
So it's going to be great for TV ads and
(04:36):
you know in the DC Maryland Baltimore area. But I mean,
why does a guy that's worth all that money like
Drone want to come back to be one of four
hundred and thirty five congressman. I don't get it, do you? No?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know they always said politics is show business for
ugly people. Everybody wants to do something. You know, if
you're not so you going to Congress. If you've got
a personality, you pay to do a fake podcast. Every
everybody wants to be a star. Nobody wants to just
be in real life, private life anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I mean, if I own total wine marks, that would
be enough for you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Hey, you're in Are you in Palm Beach? Now?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yes? I am.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
What happens there at Christmas time? It's a whole different
place Christmas time.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Right, Well, there aren'tny riots in the street, unlike Dan Tucker.
You saw that on the front page you're up close today. Yeah,
there will be there will be no violence anywhere. No,
it's it's it's it's kind of interesting. And I've known
this going back to you know, the nineties when I
was covering the one of the Kennedy rape trials in
West Palm. We were staying in Palm Beach. But you know,
(05:44):
like all the lights in Palm Beach, the Christmas lights,
you're all white, you know, and you know, I don't know,
I like color color lights, you know, and I like
flashing color lights.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So you know, we used to we on nights when
there's nothing mu's going on the trail, all of us
reporters would drive over to West Palm and just see
all the flashing lights. I still do it, I you know,
I have my studio now is in is it West
Palm at the iHeart Complex. And I so like going
going and seeing all the colorful lights West Palm. It's
(06:20):
going way upscale fast, especially with Mamdani coming in as mayor,
but it's still it's still like America, you know, as
opposed to po which you know, I think I think
probably colored colored Christmas lights probably violate some kind of
zoning UH ordinates in the town up Palm Beach. Y.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Hey, you know, the big big real estate guys are
building like crazy West Palm Beach. They're putting a million skyscrapers,
a million office they're gonna you know, they're not thinking ahead.
I've seen this happen in other cities. They do that,
and they forget to make the airport double the size,
They forget to put in more roads, right, and then
it's going to become a nightmare in West Palm Beach.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Mark Man, you're still you're still promoting this New York
jovenism like they like there's still some future in New York.
I mean the pom Beach Airport compared to Laguardie or JFK,
I mean, it's fantastic. I mean yeah, because it's so
easy to get to. I'm like seven minutes, I'm on
the island. I'm seven minutes away from the airport. You
(07:22):
know how much it cost to park today in Pomby
at that Pombeach International fourteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, it's the greatest airport in America because it's small,
there's not much traffic, it's easy, there's not too many people.
I'm just saying, when they build all these buildings and
you've got millions trying to go in and out of
that airport. It's going to be a nightmare. It's it's
not going to be the thing.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So uh. In other words, it'll be like New York
City you were through Trump when he was first running,
he used to talk about going to the airport, the
Phillip Wart. He said, it's like going in it's like
being in Bay Roads draining. Get into the city from
the airport. Well, you know what, it's no better now,
is it.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's a little better. But they're opening a casino right

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