your support. So I am now calling our court system

10
00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:36,159
a catch and release court system. That is what we

11
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,920
are witnessing here in Mecklinburg County. But it's not just here.

12
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,079
We've got this happening all over the place, catch and

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,159
release criminals. In fact, this week, the Charlotte Mecklimburg Police

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Department did a crime stats briefing for the first nine

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,719
months of the year, and they highlighted one particular case

16
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:59,119
of some fifteen year old punk who has like one

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,159
hundred and it was it like one hundred and twenty

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:09,079
or one hundred and fifty car thefts or arrests. Rather

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,680
for like he apparently stole fifty five cars. It was

20
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:16,799
averaging like like one a week or something, or one

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,760
a day or one every other day, just remarkable numbers.

22
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,159
And those are just the ones that they caught, right,

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,560
those are just the ones that he was arrested for stealing.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,400
And you know, I think it was made easier by

25
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,519
the fact that he posted some of the stolen vehicles

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,599
on his social media. So obviously a real rocket scientist here.

27
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:44,519
But it's not just here. Two teenagers you may have

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,519
heard this, that were part of the group of utes

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,000
that attacked a former staffer for Doge Elon Musk's Department

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,879
of Government Efficiency. The DOGE guys, right, were like tech

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,799
bros that Elon brought on to you know, run all

32
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,599
sorts of analyzes and such all over the government books

33
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,000
to find you know, poor performance and efficiencies and the like.

34
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:18,319
And one of these guys had was outed by the

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,479
media because how dare you try to find efficiencies in

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,280
gov co? And he went by an on screen name

37
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,039
that I will not use. His on screen name. They

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,039
were it's two words. I refer to him as large

39
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:42,280
orbs okay, large orbs. His screen name was big B

40
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,680
but the bee is a synonym for orbs okay, So

41
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,759
I call him large orbs okay. But his actual name

42
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,439
is Edward Korstein, and he along with a female friend

43
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,879
of his. They were I don't know if it's his

44
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,680
girlfriend or just a friend, it doesn't matter, but they

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,000
were out in DC. I think it was late at

46
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,520
night and they were jumped by what he described as

47
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,159
a group of ten guys, so some sort of a mob,

48
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,879
and they arrested two individuals of the mob, a boy

49
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:30,759
and a girl, both aged fifteen from Hyattsville, Maryland. And

50
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,280
you may have heard this week that the two of

51
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:41,080
them were sentenced as for their roles in the mob

52
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,360
attack on and attempted carjacking. That's what prompted. They tried

53
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,240
to steal the vehicle of the girl and Chorusteine jumped

54
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,400
in to protect her and he was beaten. He ended

55
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:00,879
up with a concussion and a broken nose. And these

56
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,599
two fifteen year olds were sentenced at a DC court

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:14,159
on Tuesday. The boy was handed a twelve month probation

58
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,800
and allowed to return home under house arrest. So he

59
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:24,399
got a year of house arrest for an attempted carjacking

60
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000
and a violent assault that could have killed a person,

61
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:32,199
maybe two. The girl was given a nine month probation

62
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:38,639
sentence and remanded to a local youth shelter. The attack

63
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,720
occurred on August third. Right, So, here's the thing that

64
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,079
gets me in this story over at the New York

65
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,360
Post is that the other accomplices, the other members of

66
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,920
this mob, they have not been They've not been found,

67
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,639
they've not been identified, they've not been arrested. Why are

68
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,959
you giving probation to two of the attackers? Why are

69
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:12,319
you giving them probation if they haven't turned over any

70
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,839
evidence to help catch the others. That's what you get

71
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:25,279
for not cooperating with an investigation in Washington, DC. Closer

72
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,360
to home here in Charlotte, the Charlotte Meckleberg Police Department

73
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,319
is investigating an assault with a deadly weapon following a

74
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:38,240
violent family dispute. This occurred on Nobles Avenue on Sunday.

75
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,519
Officers say the altercation left one victim with serious injuries,

76
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,439
including a stab wound that punctured her lung. Police say

77
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:54,680
the victims provided video evidence showing the assault as it happened. Okay,

78
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,519
so we have video evidence of the attack. According to

79
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,560
an INTI didn't report, Paulette Gibson was seen in the

80
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:08,360
video swinging a knife multiple times at one of the victims,

81
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,560
aiming for her head and upper body. The report also

82
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,519
states that a golf club was used during the fight

83
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,879
and that Paulette Gibson's ten year old daughter participated in

84
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,839
the assault and her mom, Paulette Gibson, did not intervene

85
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,800
to try to stop her, so welcomed the ten year

86
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:33,240
old daughter to the fight. Police A. Gibson was arrested

87
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,319
and during questioning, she first claimed that she did not

88
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,839
know who stabbed the victim, before admitting, Okay, yes, the

89
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:48,279
confrontation was planned. Oh, it was planned. So this was

90
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:55,519
a premeditated attempted murder, Like that's what that was? Premeditated

91
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,560
attempted murder. This was regarding an ongoing dispute in involving

92
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:05,959
their children. So what does that tell me? First, first

93
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
I read this story from WSOCTV, and I thought, hmmm,

94
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:15,480
is it like like a lesbian couple. They've got kids

95
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,360
and they're in the middle of like a custody battle

96
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,959
or something. Is that what this was about? But upon

97
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:25,720
reading it again, she admits the confrontation was planned over

98
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,000
an ongoing dispute involving their children. I could also read

99
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,680
that sentence to mean that the two women involved in

100
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,920
this altercation. They each have their own kids, and the

101
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:48,079
kids had a beef and the moms then engaged in

102
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:56,240
the physical violence that arose from the kid's beef, which

103
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360
would explain why paul Ed Gibson didn't stop her ten

104
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:02,279
year old daughter from engaging in the physical violence in

105
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:05,240
the attempted murder, which is what that was. You start

106
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,000
when you plan to fight somebody and you bring a knife,

107
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,560
and then you bust the knife out and start swinging

108
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,759
and around and you stab the person. Yeah, that is

109
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:22,879
attempted murder and that's premeditated. Matt van Swall posted up

110
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,879
on Twitter that she was released on a twenty thousand

111
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:31,120
dollars bond and she had fifteen prior arrests, including for

112
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:34,120
violent offenses, and she is back out on the streets

113
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,519

114

134
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:53,960
example of our catch and release court system, A teacher

135
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,960
assistant at a Charlotte elementary school was arrested last weekend

136
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,480
after she allegedly cut someone with a knife. Forty four

137
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:10,480
year old Chantra Prapa Sing was accused of unlawfully, willfully,

138
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:18,200
feloniously cutting another person's neck Sunday, October twelfth. That's according

139
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,600
to the arrest warrant. It was unclear how bad the

140
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,080
victim was injured, but Sing was charged with one count

141
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,879
of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. And

142
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:35,279
affidavit said Sing was married to the victim, So it's

143
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,799
her husband. I'm thinking it's her husband. Everybody or wife, okay,

144
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000
And the alleged assault happened after her husband. Oh no,

145
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,600
her husband. Okay, that makes sense sense. The alleged assault

146
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,679
happened after her husband, said she got frustrated that he

147
00:10:51,799 --> 00:11:03,759
had not cleaned the house. Hmm, well, who among us? Okay.

148
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,519
According to the affidavit, she told investigators she accidentally cut

149
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,120
her husband when she turned around as she was starting

150
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,960
to make breakfast. Okay, well, now wait a minute, Hang

151
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,759
on a second, you're making breakfast. How could he have

152
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,879
had time to clean the house. Then that's like a

153
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:27,720
if you're you're cleaning the whole house, that's a that's

154
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,000
an all day kind of a thing, unless, of course,

155
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,720
he was supposed to have done it Saturday, right, because

156
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,519
this was a Sunday morning. So she's frustrated, she's mad

157
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,600
he didn't clean the house. She's making breakfast in this

158
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,000
pig sty because he hasn't cleaned it up, and she

159
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,600
just so happens to be using a knife and then

160
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,559
she just she just turned she just like swung around

161
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,000
real fast. Oh, oh my gosh. And I stabbed him

162
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,679
in the neck, which is weird? Is he like very short?

163
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:05,000
Was he sitting down while you were standing up? How

164
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:09,559
do you actually cut somebody on the neck without raising

165
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:14,840
your knife to that level whilst turning around? If I'm

166
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,919
going with your story that it was completely inadvertent and

167
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,000
you were just like you just turned around real fast,

168
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,879
and oh my gosh, I stabbed him in the neck.

169
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,279
I cut his neck while arguing with him about him

170
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,279
not cleaning the house. Uh. Yeah, I'm not buying this

171
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000
cover story. Not buying it. Her husband called nine to

172
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,360
one one and claimed that his wife, Chandra brah Babah Singh,

173
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,639
was quote frustrated and purposely attacked him with the knifevtly

174
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,919
so he's telling a bit of a different story. Singh

175
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,919
was listed online as a teacher assistant for grades K

176
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,200
through three at end Haven Elementary School in the Valentine area.

177
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,559
And as I understand it, all of those classrooms will

178
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,799
now be very very clean. That's They're all gonna make

179
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:07,879
sure they clean their classrooms. Court records showed seeing was

180
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:22,679
initially denied bond. What denied bond? Was this in Mecklinburg County? Yeah,

181
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,600
this was Mecklenburg County. She was denied bond by a magistrate.

182
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:29,519
Oh no, here we go, and then had it set

183
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,960
at ten thousand dollars during a court appearance. Okay, well

184
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,519
there you go. So she did get denied bond, So

185
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,960
let's give it up. Let's give it up for whoever

186
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,240
that magistrate was, who just momentarily said, hmm, yeah, I'm

187
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:44,879
not sure that stabbing somebody in the neck over an

188
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,480
argument about cleaning the house probably shouldn't get a bond.

189
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,919
So denied bond first, but then goes to court and

190
00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:59,000
the judge don't know who the judge is. The judge

191
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:04,159
then gives her a ten thousand dollars bond. She's appointed

192
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:09,480
a public defender, and a ten thousand dollars bond means

193
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,840
she can walk. I don't know if it was secured.

194
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:13,879
If it's a secured bond, that's one thousand dollars she

195
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,840
got to come up with. Unsecured, she can walk, but

196
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,759
she has apparently walked. She's back out, don't know if

197
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:23,960
she's back in the classroom. So if you send your

198
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:27,559
kids to endh Haven Elementary School in Valentine, you might

199
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,120
want to tell your kids, you know, head on a swivel,

200
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,200
just be on the lookout if she's like making you

201
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:39,720
snacks or something in the classroom, don't be anywhere nearer

202
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840
because she has a habit of stabbing people when she

203
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:47,240
turns around while in the middle of preparing food. Now,

204
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,440
we do have a case of an individual not being

205
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:55,519
released on bond for serious charges. This is Cecil Brockman,

206
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,080
state lawmaker. He made his first appearance in court this week.

207
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,039
He's been charged with statutory sex crimes. He was arrested

208
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,320
and charged with two counts of statutory rape two counts

209
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,320
of indecent liberties with a minor. He was due to

210
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,159
have a first appearance in court, but then that hearing

211
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,120
was delayed due to a medical emergency, which we don't

212
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:20,679
know what that was. The DA alleged that Brockman struck

213
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:25,159
up a relationship with a teenager via an online app

214
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080
back in May, and that they were living together in

215
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:34,279
Atlanta before moving to High Point in August. In August,

216
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:39,399
the victim turned fifteen in June, so he had this

217
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,799
relationship with a fourteen year old. On October fifth, Brockman

218
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,480
allegedly called nine one one asking for help trying to

219
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:49,639
find his quote friend, the victim, whom he was tracking

220
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
on an app called Life three sixty. Davidson County Sheriff's

221
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:59,519
Office responded and then contacted the High Point Police Department

222
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:05,320
and open investigation. They then contacted the State Bureau of Investigation. Initially,

223
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,759
the magistrate issued no bond. Well, there you go, that's

224
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:11,240
on brand. The magistrate issued no bond for Brockman when

225
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,840
he was taken into custody with court documents alleging he

226
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:17,120
used his status as a lawmaker to try to locate

227
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,840
the victim and make contact with the fifteen year old

228
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,960
while they were in a hospital. The DA said Brockman

229
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:28,240
attempted to push through locked doors in the emergency department

230
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,320
where the victim was being treated as a patient. The

231
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:35,519
victim's phone was seized and sexual videos were found on

232
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:39,600
that phone. Brockman appeared at the hearing via video call

233
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:42,559
from the hospital. He appeared distraught during the hearing and

234
00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:45,200
asked the judge to let him speak, but after a

235
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,080
recess after he spoke with his lawyer, he decided not

236
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,320
to speak, which is probably for the best. He was

237
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,759
given an updated bond, though of over one million dollars

238
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,559
and told to have no contact with the victim or

239
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,879
ask anybody to contact the victim on his He is

240
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,960
now being called upon to resign his position, which by

241
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,880
the way, the legislature comes back into session. He's a

242
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,119
Democrat and Democrats don't have enough votes otherwise to block

243
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,640
an override of the governor's vetos, so he's not getting

244
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,519
out anytime soon, and so Democrats now are probably going

245
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,279
to lose the vetos override votes, which is why they

246
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,000
wanted to resign immediately. So when I was a kid,

247
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:29,839
my grandpa died with Alzheimer's, and before he died, my

248
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,759
mom and my dad took care of him as he

249
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:34,640
got worse. Forty years ago, there were no treatments and

250
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,799
not much support for caregivers and family. But things are

251
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:40,440
different today because of the work of so many people,

252
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,039
including the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great

253
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,400
organization with awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a

254
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,359
supporter for twenty five years. This cause means a lot

255
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720
to me. I participate in the annual Walk to end

256
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,640
Alzheimer's and I'm leading a Charlotte team again this year,

257
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,839
and it's called once again Pete's Pack. You can sign

258
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,240
up and you can join the team and walk with us.

259
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,519
It's on October eighteenth, that truest field. Sign up at

260
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:09,160
alz dot org slash Walk and then you could search

261
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,160
for my team name Pete's Pack. There's also a link

262
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,839
at thepetepod dot com. There's also a link in the

263
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:18,160
description of this podcast. Also, I'll be am seeing the

264
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000
Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, and so you can make

265
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:23,279
a team and join that one too, or make a

266
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,039
donation and help me hit my goal of five thousand dollars.

267
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:28,160
If you do, I really appreciate it. There are a

268
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,799
bunch of other walks all over the Carolinas. You can

269
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,559
go to alz dot org slash walk for all the

270
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,200
dates and locations. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's.

271
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Can you help us get there? Will you walk with me?

272
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,119
For a different future, for families, for more time for treatments.

273
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,160
This is why we walk, all right. I want to

274
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,920
take a moment here more than a moment actually, and

275
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,200
thank everybody that has been so generous and have supported

276
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,480
the Alzheimer's Association. You've heard me talk about the walks

277
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,039
that we do, the Walk to End Alzheimers. Last weekend,

278
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,480
I was in Gastonia for that walk. Tomorrow we'll be

279
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,359
I'll be in Charlotte with the team Pete's Pack. By

280
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,279
the way, if you still want to donate or join,

281
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,920
you can do that at alz dot org slash walk

282
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,799
and then do a search for Pete's Pack. You can

283
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:22,240
make a donation as well. We did hit our goal.

284
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,279
We set a goal of five thousand dollars and I

285
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:33,920
think we are approaching seven thousand. Thank you. I mean

286
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:40,680
really it was Zebo because like I couldn't have read

287
00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:42,599
I mean, I couldn't have donated all that money. So

288
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,640
I appreciate everybody's generosity and doing that. And I do

289
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,160
have the list of the donors. I'm only going to

290
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,279
give their first names in order to protect the innocent.

291
00:19:53,400 --> 00:20:00,000
Paul Woodie, Keith, Robert, Christy Bill that his donation was

292
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:08,960
memory of his mom, Nancy, Angela, Mark, Mike, Mark Hampton, Deborah, Terrence,

293
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Teresa Donald, James, Crystal, Paul Kim, Mandy Willis, Brenda, Michael, Kim, Gary, Helen, Chris, Kelly, Nick,

294
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,400
Thank you Nick. Sorry, oh, I just did vote Mark.

295
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:43,680
We have a lot of Marks and Douglas and Anonymous, Anonymous, Anonymous, Anonymous, Bev, Kathy, Chris, Christopher, Cynthia, Debbie, Diana, Gig, Janey, John, Kate, Cathy,

296
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:50,480
Linda and Freddie, Lindsay, Laurie, Margot, Marilyn and Marilyn, Maureen, Meghan, Michael, Nancy, Nancy,

297
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,839
Nicky and Alex Norman, Sarah, Shannon, Shay and Chris, Stephen,

298
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Terry and Tracy. Thank you all well very much for

299
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:06,000
all of your donations to the Alzheimer's Association. It funds research,

300
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:12,440
it funds resources for caregivers and for family members. These

301
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,480
are like really important programs that like when my family

302
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:19,720
was taken care of my grandfather with Alzheimer's when I

303
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,119
was back in middle school, these types of resources just

304
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,519
did not exist. But thanks to the work of the

305
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:30,880
Alzheimer's Association over the last forty years, they have built

306
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,880
up this support system and came across this at NBC News.

307
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,519
With few treatments available to stop or reverse Alzheimer's, disease.

308
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Scientists have turned to cancer drugs as a potential means

309
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,880
of walking back cognitive decline. Alzheimer's case is arising due

310
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,960
to an aging population, but there's no cure. Attempts to

311
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:57,799
develop new treatments that slow the disease's progress rather than

312
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,720
lessened symptoms, have frequently failed. There are only two drugs

313
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:04,960
that are currently approved by the FDA. One's called Lakembi,

314
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:10,839
the other's Cassunla Kissunla, which they hope slows the progression

315
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,319
of early Alzheimer's, but the benefits are somewhat limited at

316
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:18,720
this point. So some pharmaceutical companies have halted or abandoned

317
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:23,440
their drug development programs because of unsuccessful trials. Others are

318
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,319
trying to use existing medications, including some of those weight

319
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,240
loss drugs. They're seeing if some of that might have

320
00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:37,000
a positive impact. So researchers in California conducted a broad

321
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:40,759
search for drugs that could be repurposed to treat the condition,

322
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,920
in theory reducing the time it takes the drugs to

323
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,960
go through the clearance process because they're already on the market.

324
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:50,119
So they went through a database. They looked at thirteen

325
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,960
hundred drugs various classes and such, and a new study

326
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,799
in the journal called Sell identified two cancer drugs as

327
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:03,720
the best candidates to lower Alzheimer's risk in patients. When combined,

328
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,759
the drugs seemed to slow or reverse Alzheimer's symptoms in mice.

329
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,279
One of the drugs is normally used to treat breast cancer,

330
00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:17,880
while the other is effective against colon and lung cancer,

331
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,720
so obviously they have a whole bunch more studying to do.

332
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,079
The issue is that if you try to develop a

333
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,880
new drug, it takes hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe

334
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,759
even billions of dollars, and it takes more than a

335
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:37,079
decade on average. If you repurpose a drug, it just

336
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,839
takes usually around two to three years, and then you

337
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,240
can go to clinical trials and the cost is way lower.

338
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:48,880
Part of the difficulty in developing drugs for Alzheimer's is

339
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,559
the complexity of the disease. Its exact cause is largely unknown. However,

340
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,720
there was another recent study that was done including people

341
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:05,400
from North Carolina that found eating healthy, being active keeps

342
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,559
the Alzheimer's at bay. They have lower risks, the lower prevalence.

343
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,799
So we are making strides, which is good and thank

344
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:18,200

this momentous Friday.

374
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,039
Speaker 1: I've got something to play for you, sir. I think

375
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:00,680
this is going to turn the tide. Okay, in broad

376
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:05,359
View outside of the broad View Ice facility. Yes, broad

377
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:08,960
is that the Chicago one? Yes, I believe. Okay, So

378
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:10,200
I think this might do it?

379
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:10,599
Speaker 2: Okay?

380
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:28,319
Speaker 1: Are you ready? And it then just continues like that

381
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:34,720
for a while. So are you now willing to abandon

382
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:41,400
immigration enforcement? Because according to the banner here, yeah, with

383
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:46,440
the the clerics wearing the UH like the Roman Catholic

384
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,359
black with the white collar. Uh and a CAFEA. I

385
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,680
guess that's now part of the garb of priests.

386
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: That's that's new. That's new on me.

387
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: You're all wearing cafeas and it says God's Love knows

388
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,599
no borders. Well, okay, I agree with that. Yeah, God's

389
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:05,559
Love knows no boarders. I agree with that as well.

390
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:11,160
So then that must mean you agree. Also, no, no, no,

391
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:13,799
tell let me tell you something.

392
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 3: When you start singing, yeah, and you're doing the singing thing, yeah,

393
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,559
you're transporting us all back to a very unfortunate time,

394
00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:27,359
the late sixties early seventies, when people were just.

395
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: But that's how they that's how they changed the world.

396
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,519
Speaker 3: That No, they didn't change the world. Are you sure

397
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:35,039
has the world been changed?

398
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: I well, I mean I they I mean I feel

399
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,319
like they tell me it changed.

400
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: They can tell you a lot of things they told

401
00:27:42,759 --> 00:27:42,960
us that.

402
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,279
Speaker 1: When we were growing up, it was like everything, Well,

403
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:48,559
you're a gen xer, you remember all the shows and movies.

404
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,000
Everything was about the sixties and how they changed.

405
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yes, but but but there was certain movies

406
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:57,000
that were way better than other movies.

407
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: When you're doing that, like for example The Outsider. Yeah,

408
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,000
amazing movie, West Side Story, Platoon, West Side Story not

409
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,240
about not about the sixties, No, no, not the sixties.

410
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:11,279
Speaker 1: That's the fifties, the fifties. So you're telling me that,

411
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,119
like a song like this wouldn't move the needle.

412
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:15,559
Speaker 2: What's the name?

413
00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: Which side are you?

414
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,839
Speaker 2: Oh? Gosh, which side are you?

415
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

416
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me tell you something I would that will be.

417
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,599
I know you were a big fan. Were you a

418
00:28:29,599 --> 00:28:30,240
big fan of that?

419
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: What was that musical that they were doing about Alexander Hamilton?

420
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: I think it was called Hamilton.

421
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: Was that what it was called?

422
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,799
Speaker 1: No, yeah it was. It's called Alexander, Alex Alex Alex

423
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,079
for a moment to never saw it? I didn't either,

424
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:46,759
I have never seen it. I didn't either.

425
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,119
Speaker 3: But the fact of the matter is, I think those

426
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:52,720
I want those people. I want those people at every event.

427
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:56,000
I want them singing at the World Series. I want them.

428
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,319
Speaker 2: Get rid of a dirty bunny. What's his name?

429
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: The guy who's going to be in the in the

00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,440
super Bowl? You know the guy that why is his name?

431
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:06,759
Bad bunny? If he only sings in Spanish? Because I

432
00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:10,519
think it's I shouldn't been mallow Elbanio or whatever. The

433
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:13,119
word for rabbit is mallow mallow RABBITO.

434
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:15,359
Speaker 2: That's really look at that.

435
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,359
Speaker 3: Please, I'll talk and then I want you to get

436
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:19,759

437
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:20,119
Speaker 1: That?

439
00:29:24,079 --> 00:29:24,799
domain right now?

440
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: Which side are you on? Why don't they tell you?

441
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: Why don't they tell you which side you're supposed to

442
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,480
be on?

443
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,559
Speaker 1: They might, you want to hear more, they may tell

444
00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:36,200
us which side to be on? Which side are you on?

445
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:48,119
Somebody fight against Joe Landscap within our walls, will fight

446
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,200
from dong to dust.

447
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: You know how many children are crying in the car

448
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:52,920
right now.

449
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of ambivalent. I mean it's kind of not ambivalent,

450
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:58,319
but uh ambiguous.

451
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: And it's very well.

452
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:02,759
Speaker 1: It's they're gonna fight against This was from This is

453
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:04,240
from the doge era, but.

454
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: It's it's it's interesting, it's interchangeable.

455
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:10,599
Speaker 1: These people, the green Granny's who then rebranded as the

456
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,279
raging they were now they're the Raging grannies. These elderly

457
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:18,559
women who sing, you know, like they're like weird Al Yankovic.

458
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:20,920
You know, they like take real songs and then like

459
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,240
rewrite the lyrics of them I'm not Look, I'm not

460
00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:27,599
knocking that sort of endeavor. But I did that too

461
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,119
when I was in elementary school. Yes, I rewrote the

462
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,039
lyrics for uh for the Longest Time by Billy Joel,

463
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,000
and I rewrote the lyrics for our Retiring Principle, and

464
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,960
the chorus sang the lyrics as an homage to him

465
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,519
on his way.

466
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:46,319
Speaker 3: So that's a progressive sort of a thing that you

467
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:46,640
could do.

468
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,359
Speaker 2: That's decent. Yeah, that's good.

469
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it was about mister Simonton was his name,

470
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,400
and so we you know, we sang a song for

471
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:56,720
mister Simonton's last you know, fall concert or whatever it was.

472
00:30:56,839 --> 00:30:57,839
Speaker 2: Have you kept up with them?

473
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,039
Speaker 1: No, No, that was a definite. I left New York

474
00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:07,640
for a reason, you know, many reasons, actually, but I

475
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,400
left New York. Yeah, no, that's that's one reason not

476
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,359
to return. It's one of the long list of reasons

477
00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:18,720
not to return to New York. True. But yeah, so yeah,

478
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:24,359
so these these songs, Yeah, I just I don't understand

479
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:26,400
why they keep doing that.

480
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:29,279
Speaker 3: We used to have hoot Nannies once upon a time.

481
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Do you remember hoot Nannies? Are you old enough to

482
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,319
remember hoot Nanny's we would go to hoot Nanni's.

483
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:35,599
Speaker 2: I don't think you did, Yeah I did.

484
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: You went to an actual hoot Nanny.

485
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: It was at the school, but we were forced to

486
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,599
listen to it and they would play things like, you know,

487
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,960
different songs, Joe.

488
00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:47,559
Speaker 2: No, that was no, no, they were we were lucky

489
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:48,079
to get like.

490
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,839
Speaker 1: We danced in one of our gym classes. We had

491
00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:52,759
to learn how to square dance in elementary school.

492
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:53,559
Speaker 2: I hated square dance.

493
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: It was the worst. And then they were mister Reeves,

494
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,240
the gym teacher made us square dance too.

495
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Centerfold No, yep, square dancing to centerfold?

496
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:10,519
Speaker 1: Head, good beat, there you go. All right, that'll do

497
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:13,119
it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.

498
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,359
I could not do the show without your support and

499
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,119
the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast,

500
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,559
so if you'd like, please support them too and tell

501
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,319
them you heard it here. You can also become a

502
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:27,000
patron at my Patreon page or go to dpetecleanershow dot com. Again,

503
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,759
thank you so much for listening, and don't break anything

504
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:33,359
while I'm gone.
