Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now, Morning Dirty on the thirty All Right, Shannon with
what's trending this morning in the Dirty?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
On the third one, well Sabrina Carpenter slamming the White
House after it used her song Juno as the soundtrack
for a video showing federal immigration raids by Ice. This
montage showed agents chasing and handcuffing people, all while Juno,
her song, is playing in the background. Sabrina called to
post evil and disgusting and tweeted do not ever involve
(04:21):
me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well, the White House did him back down.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
A spokesperson responded to Sabrina and defended the deportations, tweeting,
here's a short and sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter, using
her own song, we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal,
illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who
would defend these sick monsters must be stupid?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Or is it slow?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And this little back and forth between the White House
and Sabrina Carpenter adds to a growing list of beefs
between the Trumpeo White House and several different musicians who
object have objected when and their songs are being used
without permission to promote controversial policies. She is the most recent.
(05:08):
I'm doing a shorter, dirty one to keep us on time,
but also because I really want to highlight this story.
This local man, his story has gone viral internationally, an
eighty eight year old US Army veteran from Brighton, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
The story is.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
So sad, so sweet, has such a happy ending. His
name is ed Bambas. He was forced to take a
job at the myerstore in Brighton, five days a week,
eight and a half hours a day, after the pension
that he earned from his years of service to General
Motors was wiped out. He had retired from GM in
nineteen ninety nine with the expectation of a stable pension.
(05:46):
Well that didn't happen, because we all remember what happened
in two thousand and nine, GM went bankrupt. Many employees
lost their pension and retirement benefits. Ed included in there. Well,
there's an Australian influencer named a positivity influencer. His name
is Sam Widenhoffer, traveled to Michigan, heard about Ed and
his struggles, met him at the Meyer store in Brighton
(06:08):
and shared his story.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
It's been quite the forty eight hours for eighty eight
year old Ed Bambis, who has suddenly skyrocketed to internet fame.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Just seeing if I could have helped scanning this.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
The video of him working at his job at Meyer
has now been seen by nearly four million people on TikTok.
But Ed isn't one of them that you've been on
TikTok or instagramm and in the social media.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I've never been on those programs.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I don't own his charming just part of what made
this video go viral. His story is the main reason.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay for general morders. In ninety nine twenty twelve, I
went bankrupt and they took my pension away from it.
Do you have a wife? It passed away.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Seven years ago.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I try very hard, could go to a grave site
every day and say, Hill.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
How important is that part of your day?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
For it helpful? You got through with day?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
It goes with debt to pay and his pension gone.
Ed went back to work after having thought he retired
for good.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
Oh yeah, eighty eight year old in America should have
to work because they need to, and that breaks Mahart.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Sam Weedenhoffer is a positivity influencer on social media in
Australia and heard Ed's story from a comment on one
of his videos.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
She said, Hey, I just want to let you know
if as a guy called Ed or I think she
may have even said Bob and his around eighty two
years old. That's all I knew.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
So Sam booked a flight to Michigan and teamed up
with a Metro Detroit based influencer to find him.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So we walked around Mayer for about two hours and
we were looking for this friendly, jolly older man and
we ran on to add at the checkout.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We knew it was him right away.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
The video has led to the creation of an online
fundraiser and donations are now pouring in from all over
the world. The goal is to help Ed retire for
good so we can instead spend more time with those
he loves.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Thee an influencer is a guy you know, Mojo, the
basqu Watch Hunter guys, so they were part of it,
a couple of things. That story now has upwards of
eleven million views, and Ed's go fund me over a
million as of last night. I saw I checked it
a million. I mean, talk about showing up. Isn't that

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.
