Speaker 1 (00:00):
Twenty four to seven News National correspondent Roy o' neil roy,
Good morning. A horrible case, of course that I the
Idaho murders, and yesterday culminated in the courtroom, very emotional
outbursts and well as you would expect from the families. Sentences.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Absolutely and still a lot of controversy over whether or
not the prosecutors there should have avoided trial and should
have pursued the death penalty for this man who now
admits to killing for college students back in twenty twenty two.
But Brian Coolberger, who just sat in the courtroom, had
very little reaction as family members of at least three
(00:37):
of the victims stepped forward to say what they felt,
to talk about the victims, to really educate the public
about the people that we've seen maybe flash across our
TV screens as an image, but also to unload on
Coburger and saying some pretty direct things to him.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Good and he's gone away forever for was a four
consecutive life terms and all that so right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So no chance of parole and you know, again avoiding
the death penalty. The prosecutors sort of tried to explain
the logic behind the decision there to offer the deal,
saying they don't want to put the state through this again.
And you know, look, things can go wrong at trials.
You can't guarantee a conviction here. But with this sentence
they get to put them in a cage and throw
(01:23):
away the key.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Okay, a couple of minutes now on this new Gallup poll,
it's out on some interesting results, right.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, they asked really morality questions, how do we think
things are morally acceptable? Birth control, divorce, abortion, polygamy, suicide,
the whole gamut, and the cold play couples canoodling sort
of placed into this as well. The one question where
they said what is morally wrong to majorities, eighty nine
(01:51):
percent said married men and women having an affair is
morally wrong. That was the highest in this Gallop survey
about things that are morally wrong. As for morally acceptable,
birth control considered acceptable to ninety percent of Americans, divorce
is morally acceptable for seventy five percent, and abortion is
that coin to us category right.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
There, fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Huh, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm surprised that the extra marital affair number isn't higher.
Shouldn't that be more like ninety nine instead of eighty
nine percent.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Thank well, I think now we know eleven percent might
be doing something on the side.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, yeah, I guess I haven't been got yet.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Cloning humans was another one that was considered morally wrong
by eighty seven percent. Seventy one percent said suicide was
also morally wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They asked about cryptocurrency too, they did, and this.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Is a separate poll done by Gallup. Most people they
know what it is, obviously, but they don't know enough
to put their own money on the line. Apparently, only
fourteen percent of Americans have invested in some sort of
a crypto like bitcoin. Most of those in investors are
men between nineteen and fifty years old, so it seems
to be a young man's game, sort of like sports betting.
(03:07):
And that's how many people view it too, as sort
of betting, and they're just unsure about investing in it.
And maybe it may have its time, but it's time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Isn't now, right Rory? Thanks Rory Onal twenty four to
seven News National correspondent. I'm pretty much with Uncle Warren
on that one, although I think they may have taken
a position, small position in some Berkshire.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, that he didn't know about it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, they say it because he said at the beginning
he said, I'm not going to invest in anything I
don't understand.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, it's a commodity. It's not hard currency. It's a commodity.
You're we did the Rose de Genozi on that, which
was a piece of content sent to me by our
good friend Ed May and do it. But it's a commodity.
It's like invested in any other equity. Okay, it's going
to go up, it's going to go down. It's going
to have people too many people buying, not enough selling,
(04:00):
the price to go up, and then just the opposite.
Just know, this is not hard currency. This is a
This is an inequity. This is it's a commodity. It's
like corner soybeans.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's just weird. I'm sorry, it's just.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's it's it's it's a digital The whole thing is
just weird. In fact, it's really not corner soybeans, because
those are actual things. It's it's a digital asset that
gets bought and paid for, traded and traded again.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's all you think. You're thinking of people who jumped
early on it and got to be billionaires practically and
then lost almost all of it.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well now it's almost back up again.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Or took their money and relaxed. Yeah, some did, but
they didn't do it because they understood it. No, I'm
gonna take a flyer. I don't know what I'm gonna
take a flyer, and all of a sudden they got
hundreds of million dollars. But that was way early in
the gains. No, no, thank you. I mean this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I mean Berkshire was built on bricks and mortar, and
the next generation to Berkshire leaders will have to confront
a cultural change in that company. It's going to go
from Nebraska furniture mark to cryptocurrency. It's going to go
to AI, went away from fruit of the loom underwear.
It's got to because this will be the emerging economic
competitive edge that that brokers and that portfolio managers will have.
(05:20):
You know, he's always believed in the American manufacturing sector
and it's worked brilliantly. Nobody can complain about Berkshire's performance,
but it was a different time. And digital assets and
AI that's the future technology and Birchshire historically has just
not embraced technology stocks and it heard him for a while.
(05:40):
It helped him and then hurt him. Helped him and
then hurt them.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well yeah, he's uh what a legacy I mean? And
Warren Buffett is down four? So what what? One of
a concredible, unbelievable. It will go down as the greatest
financial mind in my opinion, of his generation, maybe two generations.
(06:03):
Nobody ever imagined what he imagined in nineteen fifty five
and how this will work. Okay, and with Charlie Munger's advice.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know, Munger was the one that got him out
of Penny Stocks and said, look, you're messing around with this,
go for the big boys.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And he did it, and he did it on basics.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, he did it on basics.
