Speaker 1 (00:00):
Horrific story as you may have heard out of Arkansas,
where this guy has now been arrested and arrested in
a barber shop. Apparently didn't hide his identity too much
after he killed these people. He's twenty eight year old
guy named Andrew James McGann from Arkansas charged with two
counts of capital murder in the killings of a forty
(00:20):
three year old man, Clinton Brink and his wife, forty
one year old Kristen Brink. The kids survived this. They
were out hiking. No real reasoning or motive behind this,
but the guy had had a teaching experience in other states.
He had yet started teaching in Arkansas, but he was
hired to be there and next thing, you know, last Saturday,
out on this hiking trail, he brutally attacked these people
(00:40):
and stabbed them to death. Criminal defense Attorney Dona Ratuno
discussing the latest on this situation.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Obviously, anytime law enforcement is able to gather and make
a DNA match, it puts them in a very strong position.
Also a confession, of course, and let's hope that that
confession was obtained in the correct and proper way and
he was given his Miranda warning, so we don't have
to deal with a lot of the challenges that could
(01:08):
potentially come to that. But I think that this sounds
like they did move extremely swiftly. It sounds like they
had very credible tips. I mean, you have two children
who were the witnesses to this horrific crime of their
own parents, So it sounds like they were able to
gather information, move fast, and now here we are. So
(01:30):
I'm wondering if we're going to find if there's any
connection whatsoever, or what the motive for this was. I mean,
just absolutely horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It is awful, and he is in court today after
this Incent took place last Saturday. Death penalty for this
guy joining us now switching gears. Tanya Jpower, as our
Fox correspondent with the President, decided to do yesterday and
bring back the Presidential fitness and the physical fitness test. Ah, Tanya,
did you have to do this when you were in school?
We had to climb the ropes and get out on
(01:58):
the track and shoot basketball and get out active instead
of sitting in the bleachers and working on homework. How
about you?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I was we had the we had the Presidential Fitness Test,
and I think there was a large portion of the
population who remembers this not in the fond way, who
may have had some sort of PTSD event yesterday when
this wasn't. Now, I was just like, okay, all right,
I mean because in the ironic thing is I could
do the whole thing now was no trouble. Then I
(02:25):
absolutely did test it. I hated Presidential Fitness Day so badly.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, the pull ups and the push of today.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's Tuesday, run a mile.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay, you know, But now, I mean you learned something,
maybe something stuck with you and said, you know what,
I need to get back to that. So was this
an evolution for you hating that to not loving and
doing what you can do?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
No? I mean I was. I was a relatively late
to fitness kind of kind of gal. But now, you know,
like I said, now I'm you know, I'm all good.
It's not a it's not a problem for me to
run a mile that you know, that happens, you know,
multiple times a week. So that's yeah. But yeah, back then,
and I think part of the deal was, remember, we
(03:11):
didn't we didn't There was no like training for this,
you know, there was no like okay, two months ahead
of time, the Presidential Fitness test has come up. So
we're going to start, you know, running a mile, or
we're going to start working on our pull ups, or
we're gonna, you know, like get ready for this. There
was just like you're, hello, welcome to school. It's Presidential
Fitness Test day. Y good look you know, I mean
(03:32):
that was it.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
People dropping on the track running the mile, and it's like, wait,
I had had no warning on this. I'm scared to death.
So but now, with all your wisdom as an adult,
you like the idea.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I think there's I think I tend to go with
the fact that, okay, you need to you need to
give students something that is not just are you athletic?
You know, because let's face it, we all know, especially
in middle school and high school, if we're athletic or not.
We don't need a test to tell us this. What
we probably could benefit from is the like I said,
(04:06):
something to tell us, Okay, here's how here's how you
here's how you develop some healthier habits right that you
can stick with that will help you. And here's why
these are good for you, you know later in life. Here's
what this will here's how this will improve your life.
I think if if we went at it from a
from the standpoint of, you know, how is this going
to make your life better? Let me tell you how.
(04:28):
And here's why. You know, we want to implement these
things and teach you how to do this stuff. Nobody
ever taught us how to run a mile. It was
just go run a mile, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Maybe a little warm up. Let's start with one hundred yards.
Can we do that?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Maybe? Yeah, maybe maybe a sprint or two here and there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I think if we spend a little more time on
that day because.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't think they're really the motive here is to
turn people into, you know, star athletes. I think this
is all about you. And even if you are zero
athletic ability, it's still good to be in physical shape.
And I think this is just another chapter and you know,
the president's efforts to you know, do good for kids
and help them understand what it means to be physically fit.
(05:07):
At least try and do something and don't be a
couch potato and sit over there and play video games
during PE class while the PE teachers over there probably
creating TikTok videos. Himself of those kids playing those video games.
So I like the idea. They've got a couple of
people that are going to be leading the charge here.
He brought in some pretty physically fit people though he did.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He did he's establishing this Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness
and Nutritions. Some big names in sports were there to
make the help make the announcement yesterday. Here's the part
I do want to And they're going to be developing
the criteria for this and all. But here's the part
that I kind of want to zero in on that
they get overshadowed in all of this. This council is
also going to deal with various issues on college athletics. Good.
(05:50):
This is not just a like figurehead of famous sports
people who are going to, you know, head up this
task force or Blue Ribbon commission sort of thing. You know,
we've seen those times in again, you know, where they
get famous people and they hype it up and they
talk about this, you know, and I'm not really sure
exactly how much they have to do with it, but
it's like a pr thing. This one is. It may
(06:10):
be a little different because the college athletics piece of
this I find interesting because that could include like the
transfer portal that has you know, allowed athletes the easier
switch from school to school. And we've just seen in
the last few months, last few weeks actually where you know,
it went into effect that college players can now be
paid for the use of their image and things like that.
(06:31):
Like the rules are changing. And I do wonder how
much into what this council is going to have over that,
if that's one of the things they've been tasked with
is to work on college athletics.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, and it's changed the landscape for college athletics. Don't
get me started on the portal. And I'm good with
college kids getting paid for their name, image and likeness. Fine,
but if you're going to transfer, in my opinion, you've
got to be stuck for two years. You can't be
bouncing every other semester looking for the next one hundred
thousand dollars. I yeah, that's a whole another subject, maybe
(07:01):
a little address and help push more research on CTE
with brain damage and things like that. So I like
the in general the direction this is all going to go. Yeah,
and PE classes need to come back to schools, not
just open study halls. Tanya, thank you so much have
a great weekend,
