Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have a lot of interesting conversations on and off
the air. I think, and it's you're a guy whose
brain never stops working. I think you even have you
have stuff. See what happens. Let me explain chuck to you, guys,
in case you don't understand. Oh lord, I want so
when you go to sleep, your brain most brains will stop,

(00:26):
you know, I think yours does not. When you go
to sleep, what happens with your brain? It continues working. Yes,
you are unconscious, but your brain continues working, and you
start stacking things up that you're unable to verbalize while
you're unconscious. So then when you wake up, all those
things have to go and like empty out once you

(00:48):
wake up. And then once they begin to kind of
empty out, you've then refilled. You've filled up what has
started to empty out already with things that you're looking
at or experiencing. You are one of the busiest minded
people I have ever met in my entire life. Now,
it's not an indictment. I don't want you to take
it the wrong way. I'm just saying, like it's crazy.

(01:10):
I sometimes I am like I get exhausted listening or
like the amount of thinking that you do. And this
is somebody coming. I mean, I'm a simple minded I,
you know, kind of a I have to you know, unplug,
and you're just like, I can't do that. Like you,
you don't possess the ability to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
People say you need to do something for joy.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
For Yeah, yeah, that is this, this thing we're doing
right now, this is my joy.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I have been known.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
To you know, I'll open my eyes in the morning
and the queen will say, hey, something happened. When I said, yeah,
I heard about that three people advice, she goes, how
do you know that? It's because while I was sleeping,
I had the television on or the radio on, and
I was listening to news. Even though I was unconscious,
I was hearing stuff. And so like right now we've

(02:03):
got what they call it EAS now, the emergency alert system.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
When when you and I started, it was the emergency
broadcast system. Yes, and there was a different tone. It
wasn't that that we have now.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
It was like that which sounded like AOL getting online.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
But yes, it does photomy, but you you probably still
do the same thing. You wake up out of a
cold sleep if you hear that tone, don't.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
You if I did hear it, Yes, I would.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's one of those things where it's just it's it's
a programmed part of you. When you you start doing
this and people say, how much show prep do you do?
I live, that's my show prep. I pay attention to
the world around me. That's my show prep. Rarely will
you see me. You know, I've got to read three
newspaper or websites a.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Day or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, I don't, well attention, you're going through that one
of our prep sites. I see you doing that every day.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yes, every day. Just make sure I don't miss anything.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
And that links to Zach, so he knows what direction
I'm going when I get on the air, because if
I go off on something he hasn't seen yet, he's
going to freak out.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yes, no, I understand, because you want him to kind
of have some sort of a reference or what have you.
And that's why I do a show sheet and then
give that to you because most of the time, about
eighty percent of that is doesn't even make it on
the air. But I have so much stuff on there
that I just that's just I don't know, man, that's
just my thing.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I always be over prepared for everything.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, and I think I told you that. It's one
of the things. When I met Glenn Beck a million
years ago, I said, I don't understand. It was when
I walked I worked across the street when I was
doing mornings on rock radio, and he was on a
station there in the building and he was going live
from that. I don't even know why, but he used
to be on a different station here in town. And

(03:46):
that was when he just did the show live for
a day or two. I think Stu was with him.
I want to say, but I didn't pay as much
attention at that point in my career to Glenn Beck
other than I knew he was a talk show host.
And I said to him, I don't under First of all,
I'm walking by and he makes eye contact with me,
and he goes, have we met before? And I said, no, uh,

(04:11):
we haven't. And he goes, man, you look like a guy.
And I can't ren remember who he referenced, but he
referenced a guy that he used to know or knew
or whatever. Man, you look just and I said no,
and I go, but you know what I do want
to say, I'm incredibly I think it's really cool to
meet you, and you know, basically kind of a living legend,

(04:31):
if you will. And then I said, I don't know
how you do this every day? And he goes, what,
And I go, how do you talk for a living
every day? How do you prepare for that? You talk
for three hours? And he goes, however much stuff you
think you need, triple it and then started laughing, and
I go, and I was kind of nervously, Oh really,
And he goes, absolutely the truth.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Which is much easier for a guy like him to
do when you got two on air people and probably
four people behind the scenes that are all getting your
information in research.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
When he did hit stuff, when he did hit radio,
he didn't have that team. And I have a feeling
he's probably the same subscribed to the same dynamic there
if you maybe probably think about it, somebody like him.
He's a historian all of these things, which, man, that
you know that I really really admire about a lot

(05:23):
of the heavyweights who do this for a living is
the historian part. I can tell you all this kind
of stuff, man, most of that. And I'm just gonna
be really really transparent right now. My eyes glaze over
for a lot of that I'm just saying. I'm just like, ah,
it's like painful to me to listen to some of this. Yeah,

(05:44):
we're talking about we're going back to our founding fathers
and all, and like these intricacy.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm like, you gotta relate it to how it affects
people today. Yes, you can do that if you have
that magic where you can take seventeen seventy five and
make it relevant and pertinent to what you're experiencing in
twenty twenty four. That's that's the thing. But as I said,
I know he's got a staff. And I got something
that made me laugh myself silly last week. I got
a Christmas card and it was a dressed to Chuck

(06:11):
Douglas and staff, And I'm laughing myself silly because that
was that was what's.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
The word I'm looking? It was very flattering. Yeah, and staff.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
People have said that to me and emails share this
when both were one man, armies man, there is no staff.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Now. If it happens, it's because you know, we we've
put it together, we found it out, and then you know,
with Zach pushing the buttons, it all comes together.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
But when when I heard and staff. I was like, oh,
got it. That makes me proud. There's no staff, but
thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
You're like, the only staff are the other voices in
my head? That's it. Yes, that's my staff, and there
are many of those. Do you hear what I here?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Okay, good, thanks, get my I need pills.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Man, This Luigi Mengioni story is really oh my gosh.
It's like you sleep, go to sleep for take a nap,
and you wake up and go, man, four more things
have happened. I mean, it is not I don't know
where you're at on that my latest that I that
I have on this they're talking about the fingerprints now

(07:21):
match the prints found at the scene of the killing
of the CEO from United Healthcare. So oh boy, when
you start having fingerprints match, it's just like wow, Uh,
Zach attack sent me a link to a story where
I believe the one you sent me, Zach was where

(07:41):
Uh there's a lot of like merchandise now that is
coming out.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh dear lord, what you sent me?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I I think so. But if you look online, like
you type his name in and type in shirt or hat,
there's tons of places there. It's right, So My point is,
you sent me that and.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
People are profiting for this now, Oh.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Dude, you have no idea. It is really, really sickening.
So this is Daily Mail Notes. The online marketplace Etsy.
There are already more than one hundred different items for
sale featuring his name or image. A tote bag featuring
pictures of the of Mangioni and the lyrics of a
Britney Spears song Mama, I'm in love with a criminal.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Britney should sue over that too.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I don't know if if well, if they're using
it to make money and she's not in on it,
is that I'm not sure how that works. If you're
using their actual music, that's an ascap thing, right, I think, yeah,
But I'm.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Sure copyright If those are her lyrics, that's that's there's
got to be some kind of copy could infringement there,
and just associating her with a product like that, it's sick.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, she's going, hey, hold on, I got my own
brand of crazy. I don't need you put me Yeah.
T shirts and hoodies with the slogan free Luigi hashtag
Free Luigi are now servicing a mocked up cover of
Time magazine featuring Mangioni as Person of the Year with
the tagline Healthcare Revolutionary, leading the charge to transform global health.

(09:13):
So you hadn't seen any of.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
This, no, I am.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
But if God spoke to me right now and said
start the ARC, I wouldn't be surprised. Really, I mean,
it may be time for another flood.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
I just sent you guys at tax buss. There's people
getting tattoos already. And by the way, with the ARC reference,
do we have to take two of everything? Are there
some things we could read? Could we leave something like ssh?
No debts you're thinking much larger than I.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
W And the sting bugs, the Democrats and the sting
bugs stay behind everybody else.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, I don't know if if you crush them, they
smell the place off. So you know, I love it.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Where were you?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Where was I? I was in the middle of lunacy,
absolute lunacy that is happening now with this we saw
how mean at this point, how mean? And uh, you
know the guys he came unhinged as they were escorting
him into the courthouse yesterday. He's fighting extraditions. So I

(10:20):
think you were the one who told me yesterday he's
looking at a good at least thirty probably longer than
that day.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, the judge is given thirty days for him to
get extradition paperwork together. Now we'll see what mister Bragg
and company do. Hopefully they'll hustle this thing, because it's
obvious he's not a person of interest. He's a person
of guilt, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Part of me see I'm conflicting now because I hate
a Helven brags so much for you, I hate him
so much that I am secretly kind of rooting for
this judge to go shut up, sit down, and stay
in your lane slash state. Mister Bragg, shut up, We're
we're talking. This is my territory, it's my jurisdiction. You

(11:01):
shut up. You.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I'm waiting for Donald to say something on K Bragg.
Prosecute somebody who should be prosecuted for once. Let's get
this done. Well, yeah, you got all the resources you
need from us. We will help you, we will fund
it whatever. And yeah, just build that bridge right there
and make him feel like he has no choice.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Six of the ten most engaged posts on social media
the platform X either express explicit or implicit support for
the killing of this victim. And this is according to
Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University. Yeah, and then

(11:37):
there were okay, so there are handwritten pages. And by
the way, they haven't they haven't. They haven't brought all
of the manifesto out where you could see it. As
a matter of fact, his attorney, which I was watching
this morning, George snuffle up against, talked to him on
Good Morning America, and you know, had his normal smug
kind of approach that George does up on his high horse,

(12:00):
thinking you know, I'm the man or whatever, and it's
it's really a Napoleon complex, is what I feel like
with him. But he talked to the attorney for Luigi
and you know, and that attorney's gone, I've seen zero
evidence as far as form my client at this point,
how you're connecting him to this what? So then George goes, well,

(12:21):
what about the gun? And then he goes, what do
you mean about the gun? And George goes, it looks
a lot like the Well, that was a dumb thing
for George to say, because the attorney goes, well, a
lot of guns look like another gun, you know, and
he goes, that's why they are ballistics testing. And I
just wish that he would have got condescending with George
because George was saying kind of some dumb stuff. It

(12:41):
really looked kind of stupid.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
We were talking about all that preparation and so forth.
US has proven he prepares for nothing. That's why Trump
has him in court right now. You know he because
he said but he's got a team too, greape conviction
or something like that. No, that was absolutely not he
You know, his information comes from watching late night TV
and read Tichtoble magazine and yeah, yeah, seriously, he was

(13:03):
completely unprepared for that conversation with that attorney.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know that attorney was saying that
this morning. That was before the fingerprints now match the scene.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
So there are things we don't know that someone else
is not using my client's fingers at the time, his
fingers were missing, and he filed a police report.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Right and you know what, any of these articles now
I love this, It's just like, well, what cave are
you living in if you don't know the beginning of
this story? Because they reset everyone that you that you read.
You almost have to go to like go to page
to scroll down because the first quarter or half of
the story is always he did this in New York

(13:45):
at this time.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Then he fled and he had a backpack that it,
and then it was through uh, you know, the this
park in New York, and then he was and he
was out of McDonald's and now tuna and it's just like, okay,
we've got all that.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
So if you're looking at any of these stories, that's
another part is a little bit irritating. At this point.
It's like, Okay, let's pick up where everyone already knew
and just give us the new information. So you have
to kind of start, like, you know, looking, Oh, his
attorney's name is Dickie. I was sitting here going why
can't I why can't I remember it?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's intimidating.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, Attorney Dickie, I'm mister Dickie.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, I'm sure the jury's shaken in their boots already
before they're even named it.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
And he goes, I haven't seen anything. I have not
seen one peck, one drop of any evidence yet. This
was during the news conference, so it's what I decided,
I think was in our best interest to do today.
And he was talking about pleading not guilty to all
of this and then you know, now this was yesterday,
and then boom, whoever saw that probably went all right, well,

(14:46):
let's put a couple of things out there where we
can get this guy to shut up now, you know,
stop running his mouth about there's no evidence. And he
asked him about the manifesto, and the attorney Dickie goes, well,
I I haven't seen any of that. They won't they
won't relieve that to me, I haven't seen any of it.
So gosh, man, this guy you want to talk about
smug this Luigi. Now, look, this is the manifesto. You

(15:09):
got to prove that he wrote it, that it's really
his and all of that. But once all of that
is established, and I think you've seen some of this, right,
I mean, as far as you want to talk about
a guy.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I mean it was.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
And then when you look too about his family and
the type of well to do people that these people are,
and you know, it all goes back to his mom
and you know, a claim. It's kind of almost what
people were speculating on. Do you know this Luigi guy
suffers from a back situation from surfing. He had an

(15:42):
injury from that, and he has this excruciating pain, and
it knocked him out of having sex.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
He was talking about, it doesn't keep him from flirting
with women at the coffee shop or the hostel, or
you know, toting a weapon and firing into somebody and
killing them on the streets.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Those that kabilitating Right, there's that, you know what, It's
almost irrel. It's like you're flirting with these women, yet
you're saying that it keeps you from having What are
you doing that for then? I mean he's twent is
he twenty seven, twenty six or twenty seven? Yeah, an
he's single. Whatever, I mean, that's what that leads to,
the flirting. Why are you doing that?

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Then?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
If you really you have a back issue and you
can't get it on yet, you're gonna fly.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I don't know if he's going to plead not guilty.
We should add a charge of wasting the court's damn
time as well, because there's no way that he's not
not He's obviously guilty. Now he's obviously guilty.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
We'll stay on top of it. Of course, like I said,
you you sleep on it for even it seems like
a few minutes and three or four things kind of developed,
so we'll stay on it. Don't worry. He will keep
you right on top of it.
