HOUR 3: Another settlement pay out from Kansas City?! What now?

0:00On the Powers the Bee podcast, we examine the players' incurrence behind today's most consequential decisions. Join us, listen to the Powers the Bee, wherever you get your podcasts. You're listening to The Dana? And Parks. Podcast on KMBZ. Ooh, an hour from right now, it's festive is Friday, the airing of the grievances. We're going to need a grievance from you this week. I've got one, but now I can't remember, but it's a good one. Whatever it was, it was good. It was like in my kitchen the other day, and I was like, that's my grievance. I just have to recall it, which is difficult for me, but I will. OK, if not, I have one. OK, we've got to back up in Sam from the New York Post, Napoleon. Yeah. Apparently had a secret code that he would use in letters, and he wrote one to his steps on Eugene 217 years ago. Eugene, Bonaparte, OK? And nobody could figure out what the letter said. AI has solved it. Oh, yep. Mm-hmm.

1:00He, it's in French, of course, but, um, but he wrote, translated into English, you must have received general marmant. My letters of the eighth, 14th and 20th of this month. The contents of the rest of the coded letter remained unknown. That's what they knew, remain unknown until, uh, they set AI to decode it. A process that took about six hours. Huh. What's the rest of it? Hang on. How do we know they actually decoded it, though? I mean, AI is built to please. So maybe AI looked at it as like, we don't know. Can you pick me up some McDonald's on the way here? We think he said this, and we're like, hey, AI is awesome. So apparently it says, again, translated into English, the Russians are marching against Austria. OK. And the army of Friuli, today, numbers 80,000 men, add the Dalmatian Corps without counting the reserves being organized everywhere in the rear. And you see that Austria will be attacked at once on every side.

2:00She is consequently hastening toward her ruin. When you receive the order to march, you must not allow yourself to be intimidated by a few troops or a gathering of rabble. I continue to await news from you with impatience. That sounds like you would talk back then. There will be no rabbling. And I'm waiting with impatience. I'm waiting with impatience. Did you ever watch the Napoleon with Joaquin Phoenix? I keep seeing it pop up something you might like. I've never clicked on it. I need someone else. And even tell me on the text line, did you see it? Is it worth it? I would watch it. I don't really have an interest in the poll. I know. But yeah, Joaquin Phoenix is such a great actor. And may I just briefly, I do ever run, do not walk last night. And this is funny. I was talking to my mother today. And she's like, do I have something to tell you? When you get home, I want you to watch this documentary. And when she told me the name of it, I screamed in my car. I watched it last night. My mom and I were watching the exact same thing

3:02at almost the exact same time. Unbeknownst to one another in two different states last night, it is a run-to-not walk. It is called the widower. The widower. It is on Netflix. It appeared first two days ago, maybe like in a September kind of thing. The widower. It is one of the craziest and it's short-scout. It's not like a nine episode thing because I can't do that anymore. It is a one hour, 40 minute docu-series, like documentary about a date line reporter who, oh man, like 2008, how many years ago? 30 years ago, a brand new, like what? Would you say 2008 was 30 years ago? I don't know. This brand new reporter. It had just started out at date line. And then followed this case for 30 years. He followed the detective on the case. He followed the victims in the cases. And so they have footage from almost like the minute

4:02that the first crime happened and the last crime and all the crimes in between all the way up to present day. It is called the widower because the creepiest man that you will ever lay eyes on in your entire life named Thomas Randolph was married six times. Four of his wives are dead. Four of the six, not into really math or percentages, but that's not good. No, it's not. And by the time number six has died, because my mom said, how didn't all these women know? Well, he was first married back in the 1970s. You know, we didn't have a, we date in the same guy.com back then. The percentage is 66% and he has the exact same MO. He meets them. He whos them. He marries them very quickly. And then the life insurance conversation comes up. And so with the, with the most recent case in 2008

5:06where his wife is shot and killed in, I believe it was Las Vegas, those detectives like, they're like, who is this guy? We got to kind of do some, like, let's figure out who this guy is. No one even in her family knew he had been married six times, because if someone came to you and said, like, hey, before you marry this guy, you just met him a month ago on match.com. Before you marry him, you know, did you know he's been married five other times? Like that would kind of be a red flag. That would kind of be a red flag. And then by the way, did you know that three of those five women are dead? That would be a red flag, a big time red flag. This reporter, and it's not done like a typical date line, because the reporter's the one that's narrating and being interviewed the entire time. He goes to every trial. He goes to every hearing. He goes to every interrogation. This dingaling Thomas Randolph, who's now like 70, is such a narcissist. He sits down and does all these interviews. He's a despicable man. And I'm not going to tell you how it ends. I just don't know. I don't know. Anyone has married six times with four women dead.

6:09And no one thinks like the odds are not, you are either the unluckiest man in the history of statistics. Or you've killed these women. What number of spouses and it's a red flag? I will, I will. Ex spouses, I should say. I word. I will give you for us. No, I will give you like dead or just ex spouses. Both. If the death is and you can prove it, like died of cancer, like died of myeloma. Allegedly. Right? Then, you know, I still think you look into it. If it's one of a bunch of them, but that's different than, you know, shot under suspicious circumstances. Give me a break. It's called the widower. It is on Netflix. Oh, I screamed out loud. I was like, you've got to, I screamed. You've got to be kidding me 20 times watching this thing.

7:10Ken Erker, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's partner and father of her child died yesterday on his 34th birthday. It's cause of death is not known at this time. Allegedly. Erker was found unresponsive at his Louisiana home by a family member, according to People magazine. Officers were called to the home at roughly 615 last night and Erker was found dead upon arrival. His death is under investigation. That's, that doesn't mean there was hanky, panky evolved. That's pretty common. There is an updated article about this if you would like it. Says Blanchard. I'm in disbelief. I can't think. I screamed until my throat hurts. There are no words that can express the depth of this loss. Now, Blanchard, if you're wondering, why do I know this name? Blanchard became famous due to her role in the killing of her abusive mother. She was released from prison in December 2023 after serving more than seven years of a 10 year term. Blanchard was the victim of Munchhausen syndrome by proxy in which a caregiver fakes their

8:12child's illness or induces symptoms to make their child ill. What was the name of the, there were so many movies and documentaries on that. Like, mommy, dead and dearest was the name of the one that that is just shocking. That girl is a victim of those crimes. She is now saying that they quietly had split shortly before this happened and she is claiming that he died of an overdose. That is in the last hour or so. It had been reported previously that he had thoughts of suicide. Okay. They met in prison, apparently. She never should have gone to prison, by the way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Do you know what her mother did to her? Force her to pretend she was in a wheelchair. Force her to pretend she was like eight years old when she was 17. Force her to go through grueling medical treatments for which there was no need.

9:14She was a human pincushion. She was never sick so that they could get free trips to Disney World. And then do you remember how this all came about? No, I don't. She was locked in her house. She couldn't go out. Everyone was like, oh poor Gypsy. She had to talk like this because her mom wanted her to sound childlike because she had gone through puberty and was no longer a child. Her mom could not stop the internet. And she started DMing with a boy that started paying attention to her and like a lot of young girls at age, what was she, 16, 17? She wanted to date. She wanted to go on a date. A mom could not have that because Gypsy was not sick. She shaved her head and said she had cancer and said she had cancer. Made her do random things like look like she was having a seizure. Oh my God, Scott as far back as that child can remember, she was displayed and and for what benefit for the mother, there had to be more than just getting a trip to Disney.

10:14This sick attention that oh, you poor woman, you poor woman. And there were two hospitals and I want to say children's mercy was one of them. There were two hospitals that looked at her and doctors had concerns and said we cannot find anything medically wrong with this child. And then she would take the folders, take her child out of there. This is not the doctor we want. And you know, her mother eventually was, I believe, stabbed to death by the young man that she met online and I'm not saying that's okay. Oh, the man she met, the boy she met online killed mom. Because eventually Gypsy started telling him I have to tell you something, I'm not sick. He's like, what do you mean you're not sick? She's like, I've never been sick. There's nothing wrong with me. I can, I can walk, but I'm not allowed to leave the house, not in my wheelchair. He's like, wait a minute. What? And so they, you know, start this online relationship and eventually it's like, I'm he's in prison for the rest of his life.

11:16Huh. He should be in prison for sure. And she was sent away for seven years for telling him she's going to be home at this time and the back door is going to be unlocked. So she facilitated the murder of her mother. Yes. And he included burner phones and the whole night. Yeah, but people would say like, well, why didn't you just leave your mom's house? She was psychologically tortured her entire childhood and child life. So of course, like people like, is she a little screwed up? Oh my God, you would be so screwed. I don't think there's enough therapy in the world to fix what that woman did. That woman was evil. Scott, her mother, I'm saying, I believe that. I believe that. Absolutely evil. They live in Southwest Missouri. I'm saying it's okay to go stab in people who are evil. Huh. Yeah, local is. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that movie creeps me out. Mommy didn't do it. I think is what it's called. That's the movie about Gypsy Blanchard. She makes her talk like this, like she's a little girl.

Here here from Channel 41, digital realties proposed data center right next to the Panasonic battery plant in DeSoto received the green light from the city's planning commission. At the September 22nd meeting, the commission approved digital realties phase one.

13:20The development is expected to officially start construction in 2027. But neighbors in the DeSoto community continue to push back the planning commission approved phase one. It's on 300 acres of land for a hyper scaled data center project J Hawk. I don't know what that means. Includes a two story, 450,000 square foot building. We've got a staff report that says that seems to be more good than harm the planning commission stated. Neighbors in DeSoto have started circulating a petition that would put a pause on any of the planned phases from digital realty. In one neighborhood, Tony Caldwell, I think we're stuck with what we have and what's going on. Hopefully it won't get any bigger. The citizen led petition seeks to block high impact data center development by putting it to a vote. It is a similar petition that was also circulating in Edgerton and in Ottawa. They don't care what the residents think.

14:22They've made that very clear. Why? They're going to get voted out of office. I can't seem to come to a reasonable conclusion on why these council members and all these towns across the country want these so badly. There is no benefit. There's an upfront construction benefit that lasts that long. Yeah. That's it. And then you're going to have 10 employees added to the city's payrolls. Well, in the upfront benefit is nothing compared to the tax benefits that they're getting in return. Exactly. I mean, if you're giving them tax benefits, that means you want it. For what? I'm completely at a loss for why any community would want one of these. It's not the community that wants it. Okay. Tell me more. It's the elected officials and to Sam's point, why? What at risk of political peril, what possible reason would a politician have for the

15:26for wanting this in their backyard? You have to follow the money. I'm sorry to say it, but you do. And they're signing in D.A.s. And they're signing in D.A.s. So we don't really like are the elected officials somehow benefiting from this because if everyone in the town is against it, why would you say, you know what, I don't care. We're going to do this anyway. To be clear, we're not making any allegations. We are. I'm just saying, why would you? This is a rare, rare, like, flock cameras. Issue in the news right now where almost everyone is in agreement. It's not a political thing. People don't want data centers in their backyard and they don't want flock cameras. I'm spying on their every move, like the guy yesterday that is going to jail for looking up his ex girlfriend 10,000 times. I, I, people don't want this stuff. It's like a rare case where everyone comes together against this thing. So why would a politician not glom onto that and say, I'm going to be the one that votes no, nobody wants this, not in my backyard.

16:28And that's not what the politicians are saying. And so you have to ask yourself why the text line has just exploded. That this is how much of a hot potato, hot button issue, these data centers have become in these United States, 74% of Americans in a recent Fox News poll said they oppose data centers anywhere near their home and more specifically their town, 74%. Who's the 26% that say I wouldn't bother me? I have theories. But yeah. Oh, no, I've gotten an arguments with my friends about whether or not data centers are a good thing. They're out there. The people who think data centers benefit a community. Now, most of the friends that I get into those arguments with happen to work in an industry that is data center adjacent. So well, but also job to be pro data center. They're probably pro data center in a general sense. They wouldn't be pro data center if it was plopping down right by where you live.

17:31Yeah. Everybody loves shopping at Walmart. Yeah. And nobody wants a Walmart in their neighborhood. There goes right in your neighborhood, right? Yeah. I'm serious. And yet somehow city councils continue to approve Wal-Mart's all over the country. The text line has just, I've never seen it move that quickly. Okay. Keep building them until I retire in six years. That's where my paycheck is coming from. Okay. There you go. But what is the benefit? I just simply cannot, putting my political hat on for just a moment, wrap my, our political consultant hat on. I can't wrap my head around why any politician, city council members, what I'm really saying would approve a data center in your city. The so do is growing leaps and bounds. You drive through it on the way to Lawrence. I've been to the so do it. It's a nice little town and it's growing up.

18:32There is a tax benefit. Data centers cost hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to build. They pay massive property and local taxes that can help fund public schools, roads and emergency services without raising taxes on local residents if you believe that. I was going to say massive or the same property taxes that everybody else paid based on the side of the land. Right. Okay. Well, if it goes to fund schools, I happen to live in the DeSoto school district. I did not see a cut in the mill. No, that's so weird. Have you ever heard the milleve going down rarely? It's dropping significantly in here. So I don't remember that headline. I'm not saying it's never happened. I'm saying I don't. It's like the death toll. It always rises. You never get the death toll has fallen. Those words don't exist in news together ever. So if we're now looking at a second data center for the city of DeSoto, I better be paying zero dollars in property taxes to the DeSoto school district.

19:33If you told people, we're going to do this. We're going to allow this in DeSoto, but you don't have property taxes anymore. Then what percentage of folks would be like? Okay. Now I'll listen to your argument. Property taxes just from the school district. Mm-hmm. Not much. I'd rather pay the small amount that I pay to the DeSoto school district than have one put up in my backyard. Remember one company offered every resident in the small town of Pennsylvania, $10,000? Is it 10 grand? And the resident said, no. No. Then we got Amazon vows $1 billion for data center towns. I mean, listen to this, Amazon's cloud computing division on Friday announced a new effort to temper opposition to data centers in some US communities while saying the US cannot afford to lose the race to dominate artificial intelligence globally. The tech giant pledged to invest an additional $1 billion over five years in communities

20:34where it builds data centers, the facilities that power AI on top of existing commitments. Amazon said the money will go toward education, job training, energy affordability, and water and energy preservation. That sounds like a bribe. That is a bribe. Oh, okay. And by the way, they don't even need the data centers right now. We can't as humans create enough data to fill them up. Like where do we? Don't think that fast. If you said, because how long have we had Facebook and memes and, you know, when you put, when you go to your phone and it says, do you want to go into AI mode and you say, yes, and you say, make me a funny photo of Scott Parks wearing a lamb outfit in front of the ocean. And it will do that. And I understand that it takes energy and water and all those things to do that. A lot of it. Okay. So if you said to Americans, we're going to stop building so many of these data centers, but it's not going to be as easy for you to create stupid memes of your coworkers.

21:35What percentage of Americans would say, you know what? Bring it on. Bring it on. And by the way, I don't want anything that goes up to the cloud to be there forever. I would like it to go away if I delete it. It was them that the cloud people who decided that it's going to remain forever. Eh, what are we doing? Would you care to guess how many data centers there currently are in the United States? 3,700. 3,300. Oh, how many were there? How many were there like five years ago? Was it zero? Um, five years? I don't know when they started building these stupid things. Would you care to guess how many are in the Kansas City area? Uh, 40, 10. And this goes down to Raytown and out by Blue Springs. I think it's 40. It's 42. Okay. 42 in the Kansas City area. Farthest North is roughly what town is this? I don't know what the name of that is. Okay. So it's a bunch up to the north and to the east of Plac County and Leavenworth.

22:39The recent push by the way is recent. So you had asked how many there were a couple of years ago in 2020. There were only 2700. So in six years, it's been 600 of them. Yet we've had how many proposals in the last six months? Dozens. Sure. And tiny little dissuade, I know it's not tiny. It's got several thousands and thousands of people. But when I was growing up, it was a small town. Now it's getting bigger and bigger. And they're going to get two data centers. And what happens if you have a data center within eyesight of your home? What's an eye sore? Good luck selling now. It's an eye sore. Yeah. Yeah. It does, having a data center near your home is not like having an elementary school near your home. It doesn't increase the value. It decreases the value of your home because nobody wants them. And if you have a house right next to one, go ahead and forget ever putting a four sales

23:39side up or at least getting what you think you are, are deserved for your home because you're not going to get it. 913-586-7798-586-7798. Here on Dana and Parks. We mentioned the story of the tail end of the show last night. And Dana said, we got to bring this back tomorrow. It's a story from the New York Post. And it is a real live Ross Geller from friend situation when he walked down the aisle and said, I Ross, take the Rachel. Nerves are known to get the best of some grooms in the minutes prior to taking the plunge. But when one jittery fell his big day mistake, calling his wife to be another woman's name, it is a, I'm quoting here from the story, an F up slip of the lip that the internet refuses

24:40to forgive. The names were similar. They were. They were. But it was his sister or her sister, a big girl. That's even worse. The footage has, has a mass 2.2 million views. And it shows the groom pledging his life an undying love to Emily. Emily. He was marrying Emma. Emma, Emily. Did he tell you to be? I, Ross. I, Ross. Take the Emily. Take the Rachel. Emily. Emily. Should I continue? No. Shall I go on? In the 11 second video clip, Emma laughs off the slip of the tongue and playfully corrects him before he finishes the vowels with her actual name.

25:42What would you do? I would be so, it would be funny. It would. But I would be so sad. My heart would hurt for him because you know, like as much as you're trying to be like, it's okay. They, there's nothing you can say or do that's going to make him feel worse in that moment. Nothing. Even if you say it's okay, we're going to look back at this and laugh. You know, that night, whatever, whatever. You wouldn't be offended. I would be the one that would just kind of laugh and be like seriously. Wow. I think I'd be offended. Emma and Emily, that's just so that, you know. Now, the names are similar. It's the sister, which I think makes it more weird, but maybe that's a reason to discount it. What if it is the name of an X? Ooh. Similar to the Ross Rachel situation. Yeah. Great point. What if it's an X? I mean, that makes it super awkward. Or you're both divorced and he says X wife's name.

26:43Yeah. Or she says X husband's name. Ooh. I mean. Gotta practice. I think you gotta practice. Do you have practice? Don't you practice every day when you call each other on the phone? Yeah. I think it's extremely rare this happens and that's why this made the news. When I tell my phone to call my current girlfriend, I don't say, hey, blank blank, call Shonda. Yeah. I feel bad for him. I really do. I feel bad for him. From the text line, I don't believe Dana. It would not be okay. I don't think so. I don't believe her either. It's gone super viral. They just wanted to have a nice wedding. They posted it on the internet. I know. Okay. Kansas City taxpayers are now in the hook for $900,000. After the city agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by the former city social media manager who alleged discrimination, retaliation and a hostile work environment.

27:45The settlement comes after former city social media manager April Leonard accused the city of failing to protect her after she was blamed online for a controversial social media post involving Kansas City chiefs kicker, Paris and butter, councilwoman Melissa Robinson called the nearly $1 million payout alarming says councilwoman Robinson today is a sad day. Anytime we're doing these settlements and we're spending taxpayer dollars, it is a somber day for the taxpayers. But are we the most settled check writing city Scott? I mean, in the last year, I'd say in the last five years, Sam. I was just about to say in the last year, I think that we're pushing like $5 million. So listen to this. Leonard alleged that she did not write or published the post about Harrison butter, but because of her position as the city social media manager, her name and photo circulated online as

28:48backlash over the post grew. Leonard alleges that the city failed to make clear that she was not responsible for the post and that the resulting backlash became serious enough that she needed to stay in a hotel for security. The city agreed to pay $900,000 to say, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait. The city didn't accuse her. But they didn't correct it either. Is the city responsible for correcting online sleuths about what they post about somebody who works for the city? Are we sure the city didn't post anything with respect to her or her job? The allegation was that the city did not clarify it was not her. Listen, Leonard alleged she did not write the post, but because of her position as the city social media manager, her name and photo circulated online as backlash over the post grew. And yes, the city did not back her and say, well, wait a minute, she had nothing to do with it because the city then would have had to put the smear back on itself.

29:53Do we ever find out who posted the post in question? No. Oh my gosh, we're not going to. But as a Kansas City resident, I am going to pay this settle. You're definitely going to pay a portion. Thank you. That city. I just can't believe that the city has to pay out for what other people are doing. And then how many things do you think are written online about Kansas City police officers? I know, but why not come out and say because I don't know that she would be, is she considered a public official like a low level social media manager for a city? She's a public official. She's not a public figure. Yeah. The city could have very easily said, everyone needs just to take a breath, calm down. We're investigating how this happened. And there's a lot of speculation online. This was not our social media manager. But a lot of things are said about you and me online. I know. Some of it's true or the chiefs or police officers or I know. Some of it is false.

30:54Is Odyssey responsible every time somebody puts something online about you or me or Sam that's not true? Is Odyssey responsible to say we'd like to issue a statement? That is what what you wrote about Scott is absolutely 100% false. But the company also would not respond to that and say, we'll handle the matter, which is what they did with this situation. Okay. They got pushed back because they basically, yeah, we're handling it. And then they said, we've identified the individual who did it. We're handling the matter. The internet did its thing and said, this is the person and they never said, wait a minute, that's not the person. I think that I, obviously she has a case. We're paying out $900,000. Right. I think she definitely had a case. And she's saying in a hotel, but I do not doubt for one second she got death threats. Because if memory serves, we're not even going to talk about the post. It was political in nature if memory serves. Okay.

31:54So from the text line, some managers are no longer responsible for what their employees do. Sure, they are within reason. But managers or employers are not responsible for what people who do not work for your company or your city. Yeah. I see what you're saying. It was a tweet from the city by the way, following his commencement address that drew controversy. The one that he gave up at Benedictine or whatever, okay. So Sam, Kansas City has half a million people inside Kansas City proper. Little less than half a million. Okay. And this is a $900,000 settlement. That means you're on the hook for $2. Oh, yeah. All the coffee up right now, pull it out of my wallet. Mary Beth is $2 in the hole because of this settlement. So your household has lost $4. Mm-hm. I'm very proud of my city and everything it does.

32:55913-586-7798-586-7798-15 minutes away from Festivus Friday, the airing of the grievances. Here on Data and Parks. I'm Anna Garcia, host of True Crime News, the podcast. Every week we bring you in-depth coverage on cases making headlines as well as those that go under the radar. Tune in for murders that defy explanation, mystery seeking exploration and shocking secrets that will leave you breathless. Each week we honor the victims by going beyond the salacious in our search for justice. Crime never stops and neither do we. Listen to True Crime News available now on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcast. It's got funny text from Warmingo, Kansas that just reads it happened. The 15 foot total is up. They must be so proud.

33:57Total is up and ready for viewing at the end of the Yellow brick road in Warmingo, Kansas. You could just go to Warmingo and ask anybody where's the total. They'll tell you go see it. It's phenomenal. More kids and teens are getting colorectal cancer. And when it does strike, researchers say the disease manifests differently than it does in adults over the past two decades. Colorectal cancers have exploded fivefold among children between the ages of 10 and 14, more than tripleed among teens between the ages of 15 and 19 and nearly doubled among young adults between the ages of 20 to 24. The new data suggests that when people age 21 and younger are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, it's more likely to be serious either stages three or four. Because you would not have routine screenings for that at that age. And by the time you start having symptoms, it can be progressed.

34:57For the average US child, 62% of their daily caloric, caloric intake is processed. 80% of all foods marketed to US children are UPFs. Ultra process, is that what you're saying? Yes, that is largely the cause of colorectal cancer. The beast and the edge of hell open tonight in Kansas City for a five-week run. It is the 52nd year for both. 52nd year, wow. This year's opening was delayed by a couple of weeks due to the heat, which impacted the attractions usual mid September start. The haunted houses, by the way, have also been recognized by America Haunts as one of the top five attractions in the United States. They're awesome. I can't wait to go. You're not going to night, are you? Probably not tonight, no, because I don't want to wait in a four hour long line because it's always packed on the first night, get there early. You know where we're going to go? I think tomorrow night, have you seen the photos or the videos of the new video art installation?

36:04They have placed on the World War I Memorial and Museum. It is, wow. If you guys remember doing the NFL draft, and I posted photos of this at the time because we were down there, you turned around and they just had poppies, thousands of poppies on the tower, but then also on the rectangular museum part, the base underneath the World War I Memorial. They have contacted an artist or contracted with this artist to come in and bring these stunning images. I mean, it is stunning and we're going to try to get someone with the museum on the show on Monday because I want to know all about it. How did he do this? One of the images that were showing you guys. I think so. I think so. And it runs every 15 minutes. It is completely free and it runs.

37:04I think I read for the next eight weekends. And obviously you have to go at night. You're not going to see anything during the day. But it shines up on that thing. And one of the cool things is it looks like a waterfall. All of this water like crashing down, down, down from the tower. And then it just looks like this gigantic ocean wave crash on the base. And then there's patriotic symbolism and it's just really really and it's free. Just go down there and check it out. Huh. I think we're going to go tomorrow night. That's pretty awesome. Have you seen the dramatic new body cam footage capturing the moments that police realized they had finally found Luigi Mangione in a Pennsylvania McDonald's after an intense five day manhunt, uh, Christy Wassert, an officer with the Altoona police department smiled after pulling a gun magazine, which had been wrapped in underwear out of Mangione's backpack. The new video shows it's blanking him, dude. A male cop has heard saying in the footage released by the Manhattan district attorney's

38:06office. It's blanking him 100%. Mangione was caught in Altoon on December 9th, 2024 in almost two years. Five days after he shot and killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Um, okay. The fugitive initially gave officers a fake ID with the name Mark Rosario. But when a cop later asked if that was his name, Mangione answered, uh, no, sir. No, it's not me. The cop then says then what's your real name? He says, uh, Luigi. The killer can also be seen. The alleged killer. Be careful. You know, you're supposed, uh, the alleged killer can also be seen trying to play it cool by chowing down on a hash brown and later a steak egg and cheese McMuffin. He keeps eating his hash brown. Well, he knows it's a, it's the last outside of jail. Neil is going to get for a while. Uh, asked him questions as a medley of Christmas songs blared in the overhead speakers.

39:06Hmm. Hmm. Oh no, he did plead guilty. I beg your pardon. Um, I shot Mr. Thompson and Manhattan and he died. I forgot about that. Uh, he said, uh, to be sentenced in that case on December 18th. He did that to avoid the death penalty. Remember that's right. I forgot. I totally forgot about that. I shot Mr. Thompson and Manhattan and he died. Okay. Well, from Channel nine, a Missouri man's Amazon account was hacked, leading to fraudulent purchases, totally more than $1,700 and sparking a police investigation in Kansas City. Now he is warning others there may be more victims. Uh, the man who's identified as worth said last Thursday, I got a notification on my phone from Amazon asking if I purchased a couple of these items. I said, no, I went to look at it and noticed the address they were being delivered to was not mine. The fraudulent purchases included several high tech tablets, which were set to be delivered

40:09to a house in Kansas City about an hour away from Mr. Worse home in Cameron. You said he went ahead and filed a police report, uh, filed a police report that night, filed reports with my bank and went from there. Uh, Mr. Worth drove to the delivery address listed and called the police. While the wife and I waited down there for the police to show up, the local package delivery service showed up that day and brought an armful of boxes. Kansas City police discovered several more Amazon deliveries at the same address, all under different name. Yep. And then what does the person do with the stuff? Well, they're ordering stuff that they want. I mean, not in all cases. I mean, you ever, there's also a scam where they just send random stuff out and you open you like, I didn't, I didn't buy this. No, but what they were, they had hacked into allegedly hacked into Mr. Worse's account and then used and to send it to what stuff they wanted to their place.

41:11That's the dumbest scam I've ever heard my entire life. All you do is go on your Amazon account, look up the address like they did. Here's where it is. Nobody said thieves are always. I mean, nobody's getting rich off that scheme. Good Lord, how dumb are those people? Uh, he says I kind of hope that this brings awareness to one to protect your account. Uh, police are investigating the potential fraudsters. Worth is working to recover the payments lost in the fraud. I think it's worth noting that the undefeated Kansas City chiefs play the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday at 325 PM. I believe the Raiders are favorites to win that game. Let me. Oh, I'm telling you odds. Um, Kansas City chiefs, I beg your pardon. Uh, the Kansas City chiefs are 4.5 point favorites. Okay. Good. The overrunner has set it 47 and a half points.

42:13Well, two teams are going in with a perfect record and one team is coming out without a perfect record. Unless they tie. I hope everybody behaves in the stands behave. It's there.
