00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.559
Very funny, people are tight.
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.280
It's a real story, but the names have been cleaned.
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.200
What's going on, guys?
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:40.320
Rob here.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:42.799
Oh, wait.
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:43.439
Go ahead.
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:44.240
Chad over here.
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.359
Yeah, sorry about that.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.159
I'm here.
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.399
Sorry, I muted him.
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:49.520
That's all right, man.
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.719
I was having some coffee.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:51.759
Uh, that's all right.
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.359
Man, I tell you what.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.759
Um, it's been hot.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.359
I don't know about you, Chad, but I've been trying to stay inside.
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.119
Yeah, man.
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:02.799
Pretty hot.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.840
But uh yeah, man, it's uh I think well we had a break past couple days.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.719
A little a little bit.
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.439
We had a little bit of rain, which we needed desperately.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:12.400
Oh, yeah, dude.
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:12.719
Yeah.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:13.359
Absolutely.
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:14.400
Yesterday wasn't bad.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.280
Wasn't bad.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.959
Yeah, my yard just shot up like overnight almost from all the rain.
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:30.799
Well, did you see um did you see over the weekend the uh the ad uh talking about uh the flock cameras?
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:36.400
Yeah, I've been seeing a little bit about the flock cameras that have been popping up in news feeds and stuff about it.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.159
I don't know, man, how I feel about it.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.200
Some people think that they're an invasion of uh privacy.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:41.760
Oh, yeah.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.840
These are the cameras that read your license plates, supposedly.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:56.719
And they're supposedly they're putting them in heavily trafficked areas for public safety um and anything crime related helps them.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:02.799
They supposedly have uh solved some uh some crimes, some crimes with all right.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.959
So uh here I'm gonna play devil's advocate.
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.159
That's fine, that's fine.
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:14.080
Um I don't mind them using cameras to be like, like especially downtown, because we're having a lot of shootings and stabbings here.
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.560
And that's cool and all, you know, having them cameras for that.
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:24.000
Yeah, but they're taking information from license plates, you know, and you're not even done anything.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.639
So why, you know, they're they're taking this information.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:29.840
Load full transcript
Where's it going?
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.400
They're saying they're deleting it, but how do you know?
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.159
Yeah, they say after 30 days they delete it unless there's the need to hold on to something.
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.680
Yeah, I don't know, man.
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.520
I don't, I don't, I I'm I I get it.
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.439
I I I don't like Big Brother.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.360
I do, but I don't, you know.
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:55.439
You know, uh Turney and I had a interesting conversation about AI and kind of like this technology.
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:56.000
Right.
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:20.159
And uh his take on it, he he brought up a really interesting thing was um um Tom, if you're listening, I don't know if you are, but anyway, um it was about um how AI can search back through everything that you've ever done once it has enough information about you, like receipts, like places you've been, right?
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:35.120
Everything to the point to where it could determine a percentage of you based on your personality, your everything about you, how likely are you are to prevent to to commit a crime commit a certain type of.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.639
It sounds like that damn movie.
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:37.439
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.240
Yeah, that was that was a movie if you're referring to the one with um Christopher Pratt.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:42.800
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:43.280
What was that?
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.000
Is that his name?
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:44.479
Chris Pratt.
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.000
Yeah, Chris Pratt, yeah.
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.599
Yeah, so like he had like so much time to to prove his innocent that he did not kill his wife.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.800
Yeah, I I'm not a big fan of AI keeping track of me or anybody, really, honestly.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.039
I mean, I don't think it's it's uh it's yeah, I mean, you can't put all your faith into it.
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.159
I mean, it it gets some things wrong, um, simple things.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.599
Yeah, it gets wrong.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.400
So I think it's a tool, but you know, it's not it's not beat all, like it's not end all every, you know, everything.
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.439
So no.
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:27.439
But anyway, um like seeing like all right, so another thing about AI is I I'm seeing a lot of these advertisements on my social media about hey, we'll advertise AI.
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.279
It's we do it through AI.
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.920
I'm like, how are you doing this and attracting leads from AI?
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:41.120
All the all the well, all your search criteria on Google is going to AI search results based on things on your site.
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.240
I'm learning all about that and trying to keep ahead of the game on that.
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:49.600
Um, just met with
a friend of mine that's a web developer that we're gonna talk that talk about this.
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.600
He's got some really good insight.
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.800
Uh, stuff like an AI secretary uh for you to answer your calls.
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.319
Yeah, I don't I don't like that.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.680
And yeah, you've had it, you probably encountered it on some of your calls.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.759
I did this morning, as a matter of fact, when I called um company about my shirts.
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.399
Oh, yeah.
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.879
And uh that was an AI generated uh really yeah, yeah, it chopped me back.
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:20.000
I emailed it and it emailed me based on what I it was emailing about, a a whole list of things to do to correct the problem.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.120
That was kind of cool.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.360
If it works, I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:33.199
I'm not see it's not exact like there's there's a point to where AI is going, it works, but there's a point to where, like, all right, you gotta stop it, you know, get on a personal level.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.160
Like for me, if I'm looking for something, right?
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.480
And say I'm looking for bail bonding, right?
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.160
Say I'm looking for bail bonding.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.319
I don't want to talk to an AI person.
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:49.839
I'm in, I'm in some, like I'm yeah, I'm gonna bond somebody out, loved one, whatever.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.600
And I want to be able to talk to somebody.
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.680
Yeah, I had that yeah, that with that web developer.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.800
He's trying to tell me all about that.
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.680
I'm like, man, that's really cool for another industry.
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.519
I'm sure it's very cool.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.439
People call us because they need something now, immediately.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.720
But then again, even like, all right, so my tree service.
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:14.639
I don't people want to talk to folks, they don't want to talk to AI because it they feel like what the hell is like is this real or not?
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:15.600
Right.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:22.959
Well it's new, yeah, and people don't understand it, and hell, I don't understand half of it.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:24.639
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:38.639
So it's it's weird, like, like I'm not saying for it to replace a person talking, but it could answer some questions that people may have, especially in our industry, which but that personal relationship goes a long way.
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.959
And you know it, because I mean you talk to you talk to everybody that we get phone calls from.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:53.040
Yeah, we just got a call this morning from a lady that we're gonna be doing a bond for her
daughter, and like, you know, she actually almost got scammed that that we had another podcast about.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.959
Yeah, that is going around rampantly.
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:07.199
I'm hearing I'm literally everybody I talk to now, I'm asking them, did you get called by someone who pretended to be either a bondsman or a police officer telling you they could get your person out of jail?
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.000
Yeah, so if this is your first time listening to us, do not it's do not give money to somebody.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.199
They are on it.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:33.600
As soon as a person gets in jail, these scammers are looking up, I don't know how, I mean, where their resources are, but they're finding the next to kin and they're calling them and saying that they're with the police department and they're they can get them out for you without a bond, put a monitor on them, and you'll get the money back when they complete the case.
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:34.319
Well, guess what?
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:43.199
Once they get your money, because they get down to using a uh Cash App or uh Apple Pay or one of them apps.
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.680
Don't you think the FBI should be looking into these?
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.319
I really do, man, because I mean that's a lot of people in our little area of the world, man.
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.399
I know people are getting scammed big time.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:58.959
I mean, we just did one for a guy that made two grand and still had to get his kid out of jail.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.040
And that was more than what the bond was.
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:01.680
Yeah.
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:13.360
Like, yeah, so uh do not pay somebody Apple Pay or Venmo Cash App that you've never met, that you have no idea what's going on, especially a sheriff's department.
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.480
Sheriff's department will never call and ask you for money.
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.800
Absolutely not, unless you're like donating.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:24.800
Yeah, I mean a donation, but I mean they're not gonna say you can get somebody out of jail over the phone or through an app.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:25.600
That's not happening.
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:26.160
Nope.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.680
So don't believe it.
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:35.440
Um I I just can't I just can't believe this is still going on and no, and it's not been brought up any anymore anywhere else.
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.559
Yeah, I know.
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.200
It's it's amazing to me because every day I hear it.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.279
All right, so here it conspiracy time.
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:42.960
Conspiracy time.
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:52.159
Do you think people on the left, far, far left, are trying to do this to say, hey, look, see, Bell Bombins are scammers, you know?
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:53.279
You see what I'm saying?
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.200
Yeah, I see where you're going with that.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.519
Um it sounds like something stupid some group might try.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.240
Right.
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.480
But I mean, I mean, come on.
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:11.200
They're but I mean, uh, but when they get to the part where pay with a app, that should be your red flag should go up big time when you get to that.
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:11.679
Right.
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:12.399
You know.
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.840
But I guess people want convenience.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.120
They're also in a moment of uh you know dire need to get something done immediately.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:23.360
Right.
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.879
So they're willing to believe it.
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.519
So I guess that's why these are successful.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:34.559
Uh just if anybody's got an in at FBI, how about give them a uh a shout and let's do it?
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:40.960
They really need, I mean, I really think when they do practice, they're gonna get a ring of people, like a lot.
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.080
A lot of people, yeah.
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.240
I think because I'm hearing it in other states.
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.919
Like I'm talking, uh, I've heard it in the middle of the United States.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.200
We're on the East Coast.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.840
I mean, there's all up and down the coast.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:10:00.080
Uh I've seen I've seen bonds of friends of mine that you know, ours that uh I'm on like Facebook with, and they're saying, and they're all saying the same thing.
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.039
Hey, do not give these people money, do not do this.
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.000
And I mean it's but they they sound legit.
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.120
They sound legit.
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.519
Just hang up the phone, call the jail back and go, hey, this is what was said to me.
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.279
What's going on, really?
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.480
And they'll tell you it's a scam, I guarantee you.
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:16.879
All right.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.559
Well, we we wore that one in the ground.
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.360
Everybody knows.
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.039
So well, what else you got?
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.399
That Odyssey movie.
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.080
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:24.559
Okay.
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:25.279
Yeah.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.559
I want to say, all right.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.080
Somebody told me you had to I had to watch it because I'm going to Greece here in a few weeks.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.399
No, you don't gotta watch it because you've been in the Greece.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.120
I don't know.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.960
No, I don't think I'm going to.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:46.320
In fact, I just read that Greece removed it from their theaters because it's a disservice to the actual story of
what they've done to it.
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:55.440
Um, the leak character is a trans woman dude that's became a woman.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.240
And like that's supposed to be this is used to be Brad Pitt's character, right?
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.000
So is it a chick that's now trying to be a dude, or is it a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.039
A chick's trying to be a dude.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:05.600
Oh, okay, okay.
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:06.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.279
It's confusing.
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:14.960
But um, yeah, so I believe this is the same story that Brad uh Brad Pitt did, and he did a really good job.
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.679
Well, well, it the Trojan, the Trojan horse, you know, where they uh Troy.
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.960
It was Troy, yeah.
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:30.879
Where they, you know, it back in the day they hid all they all hid in this Trojan horse, got wheeled into a city, and then it was it was a setup, you know, they got out and they killed everybody at night.
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:38.240
Yeah, but and but that's that's a good story because you know it that happened a long time ago, but now now this is happening.
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:44.399
What I mean, I'm kind of now I wonder what disservice they did in the movie.
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.840
Well, one, they had a trans person pretending to be a badass.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.399
Oh.
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.159
I got no balls.
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.440
Literally, literally, yeah.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.639
Um no testosterone at all.
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.200
No, no, I mean, yeah, and there's there's other parts of it.
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:01.919
I don't I don't know.
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:09.120
I've I've listened to some other podcasts, um, things that have been said, they're trying to hype it as being a great a great movie.
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.679
So were you trying to say not not to go watch it?
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:12.799
Don't watch it.
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.720
No, don't fall for it.
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.240
Um Steven Crowder's got a great bit about it.
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.360
About how, yeah, it's it's it's terrible.
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.320
Don't give them your money to watch that shit.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.360
Well, good.
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.600
I'm glad I'm uh I'm not I'm glad I'm not interested in watching that.
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:38.480
I because you know I did some, you know, since I'm going, since I'm going, I did some you know research, you know, looking up to see what things are going over there, like what kind of food.
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.159
Like I'm down for the food.
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.440
Yeah, it's all clean.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.879
Yeah, I I cannot wait to try that and the cheeses and stuff like that.
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:54.639
But I was looking at the history on the place, and I can't wait to see the actual history versus what you know we're seeing, we see over here, but you know, it's a lot different in person.
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.559
So I'm kind of interested in that.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.759
What else do you have?
00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.840
Uh let's see here.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.039
Oh, Iran.
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.519
Let's talk a little bit on Iran because I kind of you know, who gives a shit anymore?
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.759
No, who nobody knows what's going on.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:08.399
No.
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.840
They're talking, they're not talking, they're blowing shit up.
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.440
I saw I saw an old tanker got blown up in the Strait of Hermoose.
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.240
Yeah, I saw that.
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.799
They hit a mine and uh blew up.
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:27.759
Well, okay, so there was like uh there's something, I think it was Fox News I saw, where they were talking about enriched Iranium.
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:37.600
They they there's a spot where they're they've dug it out deeper to go store it at that they think it's at, and our B-2 bombers can't get to it.
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.559
So I'm like, okay, so I'm confused.
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:45.679
You told me there's no more, now they're telling me there is, and it's deeper, we can't get to it.
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:51.600
Now, come on, is this something like the the news media is trying to like conjure up the story?
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.279
You know, who the hell knows?
00:13:53.759 --> 00:14:08.799
But what I did see that I know that's for real is you know how like back in the day Iran used to be a very productive country in the world before the Ayatollah took over.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.360
Okay.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:21.679
All right, so now the people that represent the old Iran, they're protesting, and they were I saw a video of them in the streets and they're all protesting, trying to take they want their country back.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.080
But they gotta take it away from the Ayantola, the IGRC, or or I whatever you want to call it.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:36.240
Um they want to take it back, which that's what I know Trump was saying that's what he wanted to happen long time ago.
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:37.840
Hey, take your country back.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:49.360
So I'm hoping like to see some good coming out of this, instead of us just kind of being at a stalemate and all we're doing is blowing up shit and our gra and our gas prices are still high.
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.320
Yeah, I don't know.
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:57.519
Iran, I mean every day it's like it's like groundholding, you know, with Iran.
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:57.840
Yeah.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.600
So I hope they can do something with that place.
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.279
Yeah, I don't know.
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.840
Um, let's see.
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:12.159
Another topic, sir,
is the Supreme Court sides with Trump revoking work visas for Haitians.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:13.600
Yeah, saw the story.
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:26.720
So 300,000 Haitians are losing their uh work visas because what happened was they came here in 2010, I believe it was.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:27.039
Yeah.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:36.159
And they were um they were here on a temporary status, and they managed to make that a more permanent status.
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.679
Uh evidently there's a lot of them in Springfield, Ohio.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.240
Right.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.320
And uh so as of today they have lost.
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.720
This is like going into effect immediately.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.399
Why in the middle of nowhere like that?
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.399
I I'm I'm I don't know.
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.200
Why do Muslims choose uh Minnesota?
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:59.840
You mean well that yeah, you mean the uh Haitians or the um what are they called?
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.320
Is that right?
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.320
Haitians uh no shit, Somalians.
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.919
Somalians, excuse me.
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.159
Uh Somali Yes.
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.279
Yeah, Somalians.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.799
I I don't I don't understand it.
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.840
I I'm um yeah, so I I don't know.
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:16.320
There there must be some rhyme or reason, you know, to why they flock to one area.
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.399
Well, I mean, who knows?
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.360
I don't know, but they need to go because there's nothing good gonna come of it.
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.440
I'm not gonna lie to you, Derek Chad, and you we expressed the same.
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.840
When we were there in Minnesota, we kept to ourselves.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.200
Yeah, but it was very uneasy.
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:34.799
Is is very noticeable.
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:49.279
Um, I noticed that there was one working in almost every restaurant, store, airport area, and like well, there was that that one that was in at our terminal that was that was checking us in.
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:49.919
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.279
Uh male and female yelling at us, and we didn't do nothing.
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.159
We're just standing there.
00:16:54.399 --> 00:17:03.360
Yeah, like they were the ones that said you could board, and then they were, you know, like I I did not did not care for that one bit.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.440
That's one group I I'm very open about.
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.880
It was very uneasy.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.559
Yeah, very uneasy.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.880
So anyway.
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:17.039
If I went to your country, I would want to assimilate to your culture, your ways.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.440
Yeah, you don't come here and try to make it yours.
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.039
You gotta be respectful.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:31.680
I mean, but but people like that don't know how to don't respect they they they they don't have they're like locusts, they they infest and they destroy.
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.839
Ah, that's a good analogy.
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.200
Yeah, that's what they are.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.279
Yeah, yeah, that's that's a good one.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.559
Anyway, so Chad's got one for you today, guys.
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:42.799
So we changing it up a little bit today.
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.279
Um, normally we tell a go getcha story.
00:17:45.440 --> 00:18:01.759
Um today um I thought it'd be interesting to talk about um some of these bonds that we do, and a lot of a lot of cases that are in court um are are very large bonds that people just can't make it.
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.519
But the judges are pressured to put these large bonds because of what they supposedly have done.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.519
So it's kind of a catch-22.
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:18.240
The solution that the courts have been doing over the past few years is to reduce your bond, but you gotta wear an ankle monitor so we know where you at.
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.200
Oh, yeah.
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:19.839
Right?
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.000
And we've we had those in the office.
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.400
Um we have we have um some cool wrist ones uh that people tend to like.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.079
But the courts, if the courts order, it's a county-issued thing, so the county is paying for it.
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.440
You get that nice ankle.
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.440
And it's that's taxpayer money.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.559
Yeah, that's taxpayer money.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:46.079
So the state allots so much money and they give it out based on, I think, per capita of the uh population of certain counties throughout the state.
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.640
Right.
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:51.680
So you you know, each county gets this much to spend on monitoring.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.799
Well, we had a case.
00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.240
Um, we've had a few where, you know, these are we're actually looking at one in Wake County.
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.680
Guys on a$3.5 million bond.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.000
Yeah.
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:09.839
We're hoping that gets reduced, which is it's a murder case, but they've got him as first degree.
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.960
It should be second degree.
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.960
What first degree is premeditated.
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.000
This was not.
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.240
So we're he didn't know the guy.
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:16.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.920
So that's a different story.
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:25.680
But he's gonna have to wear an ankle monitor as a condition to lower his bond greatly, which he can make.
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.039
So, anyway, that's kind of along the storyline.
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:40.000
But what we had one years ago, right before Rob came on, we were in a different office, and I had a call from a group of people that were basically a congregation of a preacher.
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:54.160
This preacher came from Florida, came up here to our area south of us, and um he um was charged with some some serious charges.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.480
So he had a um what is it called, fugitive from another state.
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:11.680
So whenever you get accused of something and you decide you're gonna leave on a felony charges like you did, then you can be put in fugitive status when you're found in a another another state.
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.599
If you're an NCIC.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.319
Right, right?
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.200
A governor's warrant.
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.799
Yeah, a governor's warrant.
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.200
So that's what this guy had.
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.599
Now he had his congregation.
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.039
It was three couples that came to our office.
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:32.400
And uh nice people, um, husband, wife, three couples, they wanted to get this preacher out.
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.359
All right, so I'm gonna stop you there.
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:35.920
Preacher.
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.440
What are we naming the preacher?
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:45.359
Well, who who's the um who's the preacher that like that back in remember back in the 90s who like scammed a bunch of people?
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:53.359
Well, when I Googled this story, um actually there, yeah, there were a few preachers that popped up.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.000
So as long as I don't say this guy's name, apparently it's not telling you exactly who it is.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:02.240
Um but um we gotta nickname him one of them preachers.
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.799
Um I don't know, man.
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:05.200
I don't know.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.279
Joel Joel Osteen.
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:08.960
Um you're telling me that's a good thing.
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.880
Dude, these made these made churches, man.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:17.759
You got these mega churches, you know that that dude they there's a special place in hell for him.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:38.559
Yeah, so what this guy did, man, was he he told his congregation that they could invest in this it was it was we we I wanna I don't want to give too much away, but it was it was an investment opportunity into a commodity.
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.480
All right, all right.
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:47.440
So these people invested into this thinking that he was gonna uh you know grow their money.
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.319
Right.
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:49.039
All right.
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:57.599
So what he did instead was he paid his bills, uh uh his debt, and he went on a little shopping spree for like a couple years.
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:08.319
Oh yeah, and he was Evidently, he was part of a larger Ponzi scheme that was going from Florida up to New York.
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:14.319
And several states involved, and another another guy that was a partner.
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:14.960
Right.
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:15.519
All right.
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.200
So meanwhile, this three couples, you know, they love this guy.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.319
I I got cult vibes when they were in the office.
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.480
You know, I felt like this was a cult.
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.119
I think like I I barely remember this.
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:27.680
Yeah.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.519
I mean, I really did, man.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.359
And I was a little uneasy with it talking with them, you know.
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:41.680
But these people, I mean, you know, these were, you know, folks that own their homes or buying their homes, you know, they were home on it.
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:46.480
They weren't, they weren't just fly by the night, left Florida, and you know, we're gonna get this guy.
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.920
They were established.
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.000
And that's what we're you know, we're looking for.
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.279
So I had all three of them co-sign the bond.
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.359
The bond was like, it was sizable.
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.519
I'll I'll say it was a hundred thousand, something like that.
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:58.960
I know it was up there.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.519
And I made it one of the conditions that he have to wear.
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.680
This was not county issues, this was privately, privately paid.
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.039
In order for me to do this bond, he's gonna have to wear an ankle monitor.
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.079
Yep, and pay for it.
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.680
Yeah, and uh they agreed.
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:15.440
Who do you scan who do they like?
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:20.799
I'm like, this protects not only me, but you three people that signed this paper.
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:29.599
Now, now you had to be careful when you take money from these people because you don't know, you know, what's you know, what's scammed or what's not.
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:41.759
Oh well, uh each one of them, I believe, I believe the story was um that each one of them paid a percentage, you know, probably about a third uh to to cover them the bond fee.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:49.440
So we get the preacher out and we put the monitor on, and you know, it was hallelujah in office with everybody.
00:23:49.759 --> 00:24:04.319
And uh it was it seemed okay, you know, at the time, but it was it probably wasn't a two weeks later, and I started getting text messages and calls from this this guy complaining about having to wear this monitor.
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.440
Oh, here we go.
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:09.680
I said, look, man, I said, here's the way fugitive warrants work.
00:24:10.160 -->
00:24:17.759
You have a court appearance at the Brunswick County courthouses where the where you were arrested.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:28.559
And so basically, Brunswick County says, Hey, Florida, I've got your guy up here, he's gonna have court on uh you know the 30th of each month.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:28.960
Right.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:34.559
You're gonna have three consecutive months where you have to be there on a certain date every 30 days.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.000
You have to sit there all day.
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.920
90 days they will hold you.
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.640
All right.
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.799
So they've given Florida the notice.
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.680
Hey, you guys here, he'll be here on this date, right?
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:47.119
This date, and this date.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:56.240
Each time he goes and they don't pick him up on the third one or the 90th day, nobody came to get you.
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:01.440
That that says North Carolina says, All right, we told you he's here.
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:05.599
Now we're gonna, we're gonna, you know, he's he's no longer held by us.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.319
Right.
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.240
So his case is disposed as of North Carolina.
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.880
But it's not disposed in Florida.
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:14.079
No, it's not.
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:17.359
And if he went back to Florida, it would be active if he got pulled over.
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.079
Right.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.319
So, um, but he's done here.
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:29.440
So, all right, but during this period of time, that dude called and whined and cried about his ankle and you know, everything about it.
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.400
And I was like, look, man, this was the stipulation of getting you out, you were fine with it.
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.359
And I remember so I remember this now, yeah.
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:43.599
And I remember you going, hey, we need to put this guy on our radar because we don't know what's about to happen.
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:51.039
Yeah, so I mean, you know, it's not like this guy was like doing you know strenuous exercises, right?
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.960
Something that's gonna make you really like work it hurt your ankle.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:04.160
I mean, there's a lot of people that wear these things, they're not the most comfortable and they're not pretty, but you know, they also people deal with it, you know, and you only got 90 days to do it.
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:15.119
So we finally got down to the 90th day, and thank gosh, I mean, he he was such a pain in my butt about crying about that thing.
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.200
And so I I went to the courthouse the day of it.
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:24.799
I pulled up, and um when when we we first got him out, I had all the information.
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:27.839
I knew what car he would be in, everything.
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:33.680
And I I pulled up and I found the car in the parking lot, and I went into the courthouse to make sure he was there.
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.920
So it was our monitor also, so I could see where he was at.
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.960
Because my whole concern is you can cut these bracelets off.
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.599
People do.
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:48.319
I mean, they they have wires that run through them, so if you cut it, you know, we get a notification that you cut it and you're running.
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:53.920
As a matter of fact, my old office outside, and I've got it on my website.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:59.039
I took a picture of a um probation officer that had it on the back of his vest.
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:07.680
And I remember I was sitting there and I got a big window and I was looking at the office, and I saw this officer take the lid off the trash can and was digging through it.
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.039
And I went outside, I said, Hey man, what are you what are you doing?
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:19.119
He's like, Did you see some uh chunky, chunky blonde-haired guy run by here and throw something in the trash by chance?
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:26.319
And I said, Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did because I was thinking he looked like somebody but like a thicker version of him.
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.039
Right.
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:35.920
And I and just when we were talking, he reaches and he grabs his um monitor out of the trash and holds it up.
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.680
I wish I would have got a picture of that, but I I just got one of him rooting through the trash.
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:45.920
Anyway, um, he's like, Yeah, he goes, he he uh cut that off and ran out of the courthouse.
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.720
Wow, and so this is where he threw it, you know.
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:56.720
So I say, you know, to people, electronic monitoring has its place, its purpose, but it's not an end-all.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:09.759
No, it's it's um uh let's see, for us, it would be more of all right, you got one on, that's great, but if you cut it off, it's also gonna show us breadcrumbs.
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.240
Right.
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.680
It establishes a pattern, is what what it what it basically does.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.039
People are creatures of habit.
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.160
Creatures of habit, dude.
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.960
I was just about to say that.
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:17.440
Yeah, huh?
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:31.839
I'm sorry, I didn't miss too much, but but that's what's that's basically, and so if you if you go day by day, you'll see certain places where people frequent, you know, and that's kind of the purpose of a GPS, in my opinion.
00:28:32.079 --> 00:29:00.000
Um, but anyway, so we got that off the guy, and uh he was so relieved, and I was relieved, and the congregation of people, the the group of people were they were happy, and um so it was
like two weeks later, I believe it was, two or three weeks later, I get a call uh from some guy from the FBI, and uh he wanted to know where I was showing that guy.
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.480
He's like, I know you got a monitor on this guy.
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.640
Um, where's he at right now?
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:10.400
I said, Well, his court case was a couple weeks ago, like, yeah, that was final judgment.
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:11.839
I had to take it off.
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:16.000
And he was like, Oh, he'd say, You you got you don't you don't know where he's at?
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.599
And it's like, well, here's the last address that I had for him, but that's that's all I have.
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.880
I mean, he cleared his case with me, so you know, he's done.
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.400
And uh, he's like, Yeah, we've got more warrants for him.
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.079
So man, it's it's funny.
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.720
I was just looking at this story in the follow-up.
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:40.880
It turned out this guy, along with this other people, he ended up having to pay, along with this other person, like over eight and a half million dollars in rescue.
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.359
Oh my god, for this, yeah.
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.000
And serving some years in prison.
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.720
Wow.
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.359
So uh apparently um he did get picked back up.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:54.319
And uh well, it didn't wasn't a good outcome.
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.640
So things didn't work out for old Joel.
00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:58.559
Yeah, Joel, that's what we call him, Joel.
00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.680
Yeah, we're gonna call him Joel.
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:00.480
All right, Joel.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.880
Because I'm telling you, one day you're gonna see that, you're gonna see him in damn jail for something.
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:10.480
Uh, and there's a there's another, there's a there's a few of these preachers, um preacher guys.
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:13.279
The guy there's one, I can't remember his name to save my life.
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.759
He bought he bought a jet from uh uh an actor.
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:25.039
Um I I I don't think that's that's what God wants you to do is is buy expensive things.
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:32.640
You're you're supposed to be set an example to people, you know, just because you might have a successful church.
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.079
And people go along with it.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.440
That's what's crazy to me.
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:36.640
I'm like, hold on.
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.440
You you can't see the forest for the trees.
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:40.079
Yeah.
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.160
Man, I I just that's what I hate.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.160
I hate that part about religion.
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:46.960
Yeah.
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:50.000
You know, when it c like it's money, like greed.
00:30:50.400 --> 00:31:01.119
Like Jesus didn't he didn't have he didn't preach from no uh temple or you know, or well, I mean he did eventually, but I'm saying he preached on a rock.
00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:01.839
Right.
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.880
Uh the sea, which is pretty pretty cool.
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:08.319
I mean, you're right by the water, I'm down with it.
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.400
Yeah, so that's Joel.
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:13.359
Oh Joel.
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:32.079
And uh yeah, I just thought that would be a little change up, you know, it lets you let you see kind of what we what we encounter uh from the binding side, not always the go-getcha, because that was a potential go getcha case, but uh that was uh that's just what we you know have to deal with.
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.079
I mean, we have other other stories of those type situations too.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:39.839
Um yeah, I've got I've got a real good one I could tell.
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.799
Um we have to say that for next time, brother.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.599
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:48.640
And um, oh yeah, one of the topics we did not get into was young people and socialism.
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:55.440
I made a nice I made a cool shirt over the weekend because I'm hearing so much about socialism.
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:16.720
And uh it's again, it's off of uh Rogan's conversation with um how people how young people are kind of like we won't go too deep into this, but how they're looking at it because they're having trouble paying for things, so they're looking at this as that's a possibility to to make them survive is socialism.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.400
That's that's a slippery spot.
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:22.559
A lot of businesses have left New York and they've lost a lot of revenue because of it.
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.119
Uh Mr.
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.839
Mundami.
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.640
Uh he's uh put it on a credit card.
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:28.079
I don't get it.
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.799
I just don't get it.
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.920
Well, you I tell you what, show me one one place where it worked.
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.359
I'll go and I'll they just didn't do it hard enough, Rob.
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:38.160
They didn't do it the right way.
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.200
Yeah, okay.
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:39.839
Right.
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:40.640
Right.
