So just play the damn open. Let's get to it. A Virginia family out for a ride. They said we went for a ride because they wanted to change a seat. And we know we were being holed up due to coronavirus.

And we just wanted to take the kids for a drive. So David and Emily Shand, who's named in the story, you know, in Caroline County, Virginia, hopped in their pickup truck and went for a drive. And as they're out for a drive, they run over what they thought was a bag of trash. They stopped, tossed the bag of trash in the back of the pickup truck, and said, hey, look, there's another bag over there. So they picked up that bag of trash and threw it in the back of the truck too. And they went about their drive. Now, nothing wrong with that.

In fact, it was nice of them because that proves that Americans don't, we don't want to litter. We don't want to harm the plant. And if we see something like that and we have an opportunity to take care of it, We'll take care of it. So that's great. And they were happy. They were being with the family. And then they got home.

And they decided, hey, you got to throw the trash out of this truck, right? So then they might as well take a look, see what's in the bags. And what's in the bag? Plastic baggies of cash. How do we know that it's, was plastic baggies of cash

because they reported it. They contacted the Caroline County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's Office was kind enough to send deputies out to the home. That's what they do. The deputies were kind enough

to take inventory and determine that the money totaled nearly a million dollars. Now they have since determined where the money was headed. Okay? They haven't said publicly where the money was headed.

The plastic baggies that the money was wrapped in said cash vault on the baggie. Not, hey, this belongs to Joan Phillips at address one one, one, one, it was just cash vault. So the sheriff's department said. that we don't know how it ended up there. We know where the money was headed. And we know where it was going. And so, man, we just sure hope the chances get a nice reward. Do you? Do you? How is it possible? How? How is it possible to have faith in Americans? When people are literally driving over bags of cash

on the road and turning it in this is not the America I know this is not the America I could cry and by the way

I personally could cry I will understand I'm not being angry anymore I'm sorry you can talk in a moment I'm not being angry anymore I'm not personally now I'm sad I could just cry go ahead I'm sorry I will understand it if

Baguiz said, you know, Joaquin, Achivaldo, Guzman, Loera. And then I will for sure be like, yeah, honey. What was her name? I don't know. What was her name? I think I'd take a shot even then. You'll take a shot? I take a shot.

I may take a shot from Jozman Achivaloara. Yeah. Yeah. But for a million, it'd be worth it. You know, this is very interesting that for how often it happens, it has not happened to you and me. Oh, I cannot, I am so angry. I cannot believe it.

And like we said. And I'm trying to convince myself that maybe it doesn't happen to me because, you know, the gods know that I'm not giving it. We can't, we can't let the fat man find it because if he finds it the people that belongs to won't get it back. Maybe that's just trauma. That karma, yeah, that karma come back. But, you know, the whole thing about finding the money, and we've talked about it here, is we're not saying not to turn it in.

We're not saying that. We're saying that this is the amount you found. We're saying, you know. I think I am saying keep it all when you find it in a trash bag out in the country on a drive with the family. I think I am saying keep it all. So it was garbage bag, money from vault, and nothing else. and two bags. Right.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. I think I am. In the middle of the country, you know, yeah, except, you know, if it's a, a, what, the stupid red trucks with the world. Yes. This is how much I've found. I am sorry. And in today's world, there's cameras everywhere and they, you know, might see a drive by a gas

station two miles down the road and come and visit you and say, we know you were out for a drive. Did you see anything? Sure, that could happen. So it's to your advantage to, I don't know, turn in half a bag. Yeah, something. Just turn in something. Turn in a bag.

Yes. 50-50. Yes. I started with you 50-50. But the fullest bag is mine. The other bag I turn in. I feel that we need to keep a earmark on this story. Because I want to know who this vault person is.

Yeah, I do too. Because, one, why are you transporting your vault money in garbage bags? How's it ends up back there, out there on those roads like that, yeah. Or were you cleaning out the vault and messed up with the garbage and the money garbage? Possible. And you tossed it and the homeless, you know, person picked it up. He dropped it from his shopping cart. Then this other person picked it up.

He dropped it from his pickup truck. Ended up in the middle of the country. And Joanna and Joe found it and then gave it to the county. I feel like that it was being stolen from the cash vault, which is why they're not saying where it's from and where it was headed. And it was being stolen. And I feel like the chances out on their family drive drove upon the trash bags between the time the people who stole it threw it off and came back to. pick it up. By the way, this sounds like the perfect season four of Ozark. I mean, I'm here. I'm here. I don't know if it's because we watched Ozark, but I feel like this is a season

for Bateman's run out of ideas. Call me. Yes. I'm here for it. No problem. I know, look, you're busy. You got no why you've been you've been you've been quarantined. You got no ideas coming to you. So if you're thinking to yourself, man, I need some ideas for Ozark. Call me. You got nothing. I know you got nothing better to do you know that Ozark has this little four pictures that kind of give an inside what would be your episode with those four pictures why what are you trying to no like what will be you're trying to you're trying to say hey call me for an idea I'm trying to help you up what would it be if Jeff Fisher gets season four episode one what will be the four pictures that connect that episode I mean what I have to think of everything I mean Bateman's got to do something he's the

his name at the top of the list. If I have to think of everything, I want the lead. So it may be time to we all now, let me rephrase that. All right. I'll just start again. You can edit it out.

It may be time to think about where Mercury Studios are located at. Okay, so I know it's in the great state of Texas, but it is in Dallas County. and Dallas County has proven itself a nightmare. A nightmare.

Now we have a new story from Dallas County, where the county, the county commissioner's court, and we'll get to who's on the county commissioner's court, you know, led by Judge Clay Jenkins, They have accused Texas governor and the Texas lieutenant governor of white supremacy because they criticized the salon owner in jail. And don't forget why? Because Boy, A is black.

So they have accused Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of exhibiting white supremacy. Wow. Okay. That's great. The commission passed a resolution declaring that Dallas County residents suffer as the world gazes upon the travesty of justice caused when the governor of the state of Texas and Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor, who appears. to spend an excessive amount of time with his conservative radio talk show. Intervened, I don't even think he does the show anymore, does he? I mean, I don't think he does.

But anyway, I mean, he did a show for a while. Intervened in a ruling against a media manufactured cause celebrate, a lawbreaker, and owner of Salon Alamode. By the way, she's not a lawbreaker, just a point of personal privilege, commissioner. she's not a lawbreaker unless she's got another unless she's broken another law that I'm not aware of other than a speeding ticket because what she did here was

go against the ruling that's not a law and they even go on later to talk about how she went against the they call it exactly

what it is, which isn't a law. They want the money that she raised on her GoFundMe page to go to a worthy cause. So they want to take the money from her. They want to, then they still want to slap her because she defied, this is why they're mad, because she defied state and local mandates. Okay, they're not laws. They're mandates. So they're just they're still angry and they're trying to find a way out of it.

I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it may be time to move out of Dallas County. I mean, I know it's just a piece of cake to pack up Mercury Studios and get out of here, right? I mean, there's only got a few things, a little couple of lights, a couch, coffee table, and we're out of there. Let's go. So it's just incredible. Dr. Teresa Daniel.

J.J. Koch. K-O-C-H. John Wiley Price, Dr. Elba Garcia, and Judge Clay Jenkins are the Dallas County commissioners who are

agonizing. Agonizing. I mean, I, you know, what happens because of this? I don't know. Does the governor just say bite me? Does Dan Patrick probably will say bite me? Which should be

great. But does anything else come of it other than maybe hopefully Dallas County realizes what they've got? I mean, doubtful, John Wiley Price is still on the commission. And he was, wasn't he busted for bribery and stuff? I don't know that they ever found him guilty of that. But I know at one point they claimed he was given bribes for these buildings. I got to find that story. See if he was actually found guilty of that or not.

But he, uh, he was, only prices. He was, okay, so he was accused of receiving almost a million in money, cars, and land. He was found not guilty of bribery and other charges. And they had a hung jury on tax-related charges. Interesting. Interesting. So he's an innocent man.

You know what? I apologize, John. So I guess it was Monday when I mentioned it even on Pat this morning a little bit, that we talked about the judge that gave Los Angeles and L.A. County his order that by May 22nd, I mean, next week or no, I mean, this week, right? A couple days from now, if you're listening live on the 20th of May 2020, today, five, 2020 was a 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, which is an 11 day. All those numbers add up to 11.

This is just an ADD moment there. 520, 2020. 5 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 equals 11. Just an 11 day. Beware of the 11. So a U.S. District Court judge issued that injunction saying that Los Angeles and Los Angeles County had to move the homeless people that were camping near. freeway ramps under overpasses and bridges and he gave them until the 22nd Friday to come up with a plan of providing humane housing. Haven't they already done that?

I had completely forgotten about the governor's plan called Operation Room Key. And no, I do not want the canon music, although might help the story. But remember, don't forget about Project Roomkey, which they're giving homeless people hotel rooms. Remember? I mean, I saw this and I saw a headline about it, and I thought, that's right. So the governor's office, and it's kind of turned into a sad story, which you know, you knew was going to happen. but the governor's office had secured 15,619 hotel rooms across the state. Okay.

So of these rooms, 7,700 are still empty. And they're pissed. Why are these rooms empty? We have homeless people on the streets. Why are these rooms? So now this is, again, this is Los Angeles Times reporting. So they're mostly talking about the homeless people in the county. but apparently the project has run into logistical problems.

The government hasn't been able to negotiate room contracts fast enough. They, which is calling for activists to ask the county to seize the hotel industry. So President Trump is a dictator. Trump and his ilk are. dictators, the evil conservatives are dictators, but hey, Los Angeles County

and the state of California seize the hotel rooms. Just take them. Wow. So in Sacramento, the project has been slowed due to a lack of providers to help operate the hotels, which is going to happen

in L.A. too. so we can't just room key the hotel rooms and say, here you go. Hey, you know, you few thousand homeless people living on the freeways or near the freeways and are being exposed to pollution and lead and they can shorten your life expectancy. We've got some hotel rooms here for you. Why don't you just move right into them? Okay.

Well, we can't do that because they haven't worked out a deal with the hotel people. They don't have hotel people to work there. I'm pretty sure. I'm almost positive that we covered this the first time we talked to the story of what a problem this was going to be. And how the hotel industry is allowing this to happen. Well, they're not. They're trying to slow it down, right? Almost half, little less than half are still empty because they're slowing down the deal, trying to work out the deal from the stay.

And I just love the fact that all these activists who hate the evil conservatives, free market system, let people stand on their own. No, they're evil. They're dictators. But hey, go ahead and take the hotel rooms from the homeless people. Just seize the hotel industry. Just take it over. Oh, oh, okay. Let's do that then.

We might as well take a breath, head to the break room, have a fresh, ice-cold, Coca-Cola zero show. So good. So good. Remember when we were

really concerned that the new Coca-Cola Zero Sugar would not be as good as the old, but it is. They've addicted us to the new stuff now. Good for them. Thanks, Coca-Cola. Love you too. Be sure to subscribe to Chewing the Fat. That's the podcast you're listening to right now.

So the free market seems to be working. The free market does seem to be working, and we were concerned about that for a while, right? Because we were concerned that companies were getting way too big.

For instance, I don't know, Facebook, Google, YouTube, getting too big. Well, seems to maybe the free market is working a little bit. You know, yesterday, the big news for Joe Rogan moving his show to Spotify. Now, it's not, it's by the end of the year, it'll be exclusive. to Spotify. But taking it away from all those other platforms, have a nice day. So, you know, you can lay out

their YouTube, all your rules and regulations and, you know, for the safety of things, but, you know, you're not going to have, you're not going to have Joe Rogan to kick around anymore. And he's a big gun for the world. So that was a great move on Spotify's part.

Upping their game to video because Joe's the Joe Rogan experience, the J.R.E. is video as well as audio. And, you know, moving at 100% to Spotify by the end of the year. Okay. All right. Good deal. I know.

That's tremendous. Tremendous deal. So many of you are looking for things to do for your kids. You know, if they have a birthday coming up or, They have, you know, any kind of celebration coming up. And you're wondering what you need to do for them because you're still in lockdown, or at least some things are loosening up a little bit. But you, you know, you're not going to have a great big birthday party or celebration for your kid. But you can give them a virtual tour of Optimus Prime.

companies that mandate everybody wears a mask. And that's their deal. You know, we joked around about saying, well, you know, then I'm not going to be a Costco customer. They seem to be okay with them. that. And if that's the deal, that's the deal. But there was a video making the rounds from, what's the silly stupid? Only in LVNV. Only in Las Vegas, Nevada, I guess, at only in LVNV. And he posts a video under the Kevin and Karen getting shopping cart taken away at Costco.

hashtag we are the people hashtag COVID-19 hashtag coronavirus UK hashtag COVID idiots okay and he put a couple of a couple of little funny things in there with his little hands or whatever the hell it is

ha ha ha but he posted his video and the video is what like 46 seconds long and 36 seconds long and it shows the Costco guy coming up to him him and his wife or partner or, you know, significant other, whatever you want to call, and saying to them, got to put a mask on. She's got a mask on. The female with this guy, who I'm guessing is Kevin. I don't want to judge.

I don't know who Kevin and who Karen are. Everybody, everybody's got a Karen these days. So I'm not sure which one is the Karen. but I'm guessing that the guy without the mask is Kevin. And while I agree that it's dumb, and I agree that Costco, what are you doing? You're losing customers. But it's their deal, right?

It's their deal. So he wants to fight us, you know, cause a fight in Costco when the guy comes up. I mean, he's asking for it by not wearing the mask, just waiting for the Costco. person in charge to come up and try and take the cart and Tyson the Costco employee does and here is the exchange I just put you on my 3,000 follower Instagram mostly local I work for Costco and I'm asking this member to put on a mask because that is our company policy so either wear the mask and I'm not doing it because I woke up in a free country

have a great day so you're gonna take this car for me have a great day we're no longer welcome here warehouse. You need to leave. Thank you very much. You put it on. I'll give you my card. He's going to take the card away because he's a pretty little He just walks away. That was awesome. The Costco employee was awesome.

100% there, did the right thing as a Costco employee. Wasn't mean, wasn't confrontational. The guy actually had been shopping. He's got stuff in his cart, so nobody confronted him throughout the store. Maybe he had one on throughout the store. Maybe he had one on

throughout the store and he just took it off up front to, you know, try to be a fight starter. But and he gets asked to put one on. It's store. It's company policy. If you don't have a mask on, you got to leave. Have a nice day. Well, the last time that I woke up, this was a free country. Well, guess what?

Yeah, it's a free country. And that company gets to decide whether you wear a mask or not inside their company. I'm not saying it's smart or, uh, or healthy. or good. I mean, everyone else has got a mask on, you should probably be fine. You know, I get it. I get it.

Or if you, you know, can't wear one and need to, you know, have our special little medical tattoo on that says I can't wear a mask. I get it. And probably Costco will tell you, sorry. Even if you have a medical thing, we still want everyone to wear a mask. And I thought for sure that everybody was going to be on his side. To me, the guy was just a dick.

only now he claimed I want to back it up to a little bit he claimed he's going to pass this on my 3,000 followers oh you have a whole 3,000 followers on your Instagram well I found this on Twitter

those Twitter account only has what was like 1700 I think or something like that followers but I nobody I started going through the thread on Twitter nobody could find the Instagram account yeah and the guy who posted it is not the guy who recorded it

Okay. Yeah. So. Okay. But nobody could find the actual account. No. So, you know, I don't know if, I don't know if he actually has a whole 3,000. I mean, who doesn't have 3,000 Instagram followers?

Please. But I did find the worker Tyson. Tyson? Yeah. He has 8,000 followers on Twitter. And he says, people of Twitter, thank you for all the support. I was just trying to protect our employees. employees and our members.

Okay, well, stop talking now. Hashtaghtag Tyson. I mean, he has to talk like that, I guess, as his, you know, Costco employee manager. But now, now. I think he was doing his job. So you agree of what he did. He did it because it's company policy, correct? Yes.

He ordered this man to wear a mask, right? Had to. That's Costco's deal. Right. He just tweeted a story with a sad face. over a mask? I click on the story. And the story is,

man shoots Waffle House cook after refusing to wear face masks inside restaurant. So which one is it, Tyson? Do you support wearing a mask at a place? Or not? Or not? Yeah, or not. I need to know, because right now you...

It's just so incredibly. dumb. Right now you are in both side of the aisles and I do not like that. Either you applaud the man that shot the Waffle House cook because he refused to wear a mask inside the restaurant

or you leave the stupid Costco idiot to, it's again is the MAGA hat all over again and the Orlando Airport. It's the same thing. You're doing it to piss the other

side off and then once the guy that's not wearing the mask is definitely the fight starter yes exactly exactly yes so he did it because he wanted someone to confront him Tyson yes you took the bait you took the no but i disagree Tyson didn't take the bait Tyson did his job but he didn't confront him or start a fight and this guy was itching for Tyson to be a jerk and he did fight him because that is a fight by you removing my cart that i've been driving around for about an hour or so that is a fight that is a fight starter all you had to do say sir can please put a mask no you leave him alone you don't leave him alone you do know you do know says you're not wearing a mask you leave so you tell me that is up to tyson so you tell me

all the employees that passed them were okay with it instead for tyson tyson is the man in charge i don't think tyson is the front end manager at that costco i guarantee you he is the front end manager Where's that video right now? He had some kind of name tag on. I want to see Tyson's name tag right now. He had some kind of silly. Wait, I got to pause. Hold on.

Come on. Give me the close-up. Close up of Tyson's name tag. Right there. Oh, yeah, because he, pause. Not blurry douche. Stop, but can you see that? 1000 follow or Instagram, he's mostly.

Everyone, I work. Costco, and I'm asking. Not a matter. I have a blown up. It says on his name tag. It says Costco. Tyson. It says Costco, we are following

social distancing. Please stay away six feet. Does not say manager. And I'm sorry. I'm the other side of that. It says manager. As a person that worked in a store, a grocery store,

you know that managers, their nameplate are plastic, hard plastic, and they say manager. They say, and they're magnetic to their shirt. They're not clip-ons like Tyson here took from the printer and put a whole part. No, but see, his name tag is actually on the other side of that. That's just a little sticker on the back of his actual name tag. Tyson is just an employee.

See, you can see the plastic there where his actual name tag is. that Costco Tyson is just a black marker down there on the sticker for the six feet away thing. But his actual ID is behind that. So the actual ID says, manager. Back off me. So we've got to get to the coronavirus numbers, I know, but I'll give all you Apple users. There's a little bit of love. It looks as though Apple has been acquiring some older shows to help bulk up their Apple TV Plus library.

So, yay, good for Apple. And they just made a big deal stealing a new Tom Hanks deal from Sony. Apple TV gets Tom Hanks another World War II. The Greyhound is going to be on Apple TV Plus. They're trying to make some moves for Apple TV. But we'll see. We'll see how it goes. All right, coronavirus numbers.

Total cases worldwide as of this recording. Five million, as I said, we would break that yesterday. Five million, 36,815 total cases worldwide. 326,251 deaths. this recording. In the good old US of A, we've got 1,576,950 total cases, 93,858 total deaths.

How are we looking at China? Has China broken the magical 83,000 number yet? Let's see. Total cases in China, 82,970, 65. Now, they are getting, they're inching closer at 83,000 mark, because at the time of this recording, they have five new cases in China. Just incredible. The TSA checkpoint travel numbers as of yesterday. Ooh. I mean, I don't know if this still means they're back or not. We had a couple days breaking the, you know, right around that 250,000 mark. yesterday 190,000 477. I mean,

they dropped down below 200,000 through the TSA checkpoint. That's a tough one. And we also had you've got the Southwest and United reporting travel demand was slowly improving, which is what we were

talking about, the numbers were going up a little bit. But which they said I like this while improving a ticket cancellations are down from their peak. Really? Thank you. But we also know that Rolls-Royce is cutting 9,000 jobs. And you think, well, no kidding. They sell those fancy, smanty, ritzy-minty cars.

Well, they also provide airline parts, and they have a deal with airlines. And when there's no deals to work on airlines, there's no jobs for that part of the business. business. So have a nice day to those jobs. It's sad. And it's sad. I don't know that we've, you know, we've talked about it. I don't know when that comes back. Um, end of next year, maybe, maybe. Um, same with, I mean, I think airlines are going to come back way before the cruise lines, right? Way, way before the cruise lines. Um, I have, I don't even know where to begin with

you today. I mean, I have so much stuff. We just, I mean, maybe I just go down these headlines real quick and see where we're at as far as there's so many, there's so many stories about shopping and stores. Retailers are rushing to get stuff online because Coles has said that the online sales surge is going to help them reopen about half of its stores. Is that going to help? I don't know. I don't know. Pier one. We talked about it this morning on Pat. I mean, they're shutting down. Because this is another example like JCPenney. They're a company that were struggling and hanging on before the pandemic. And then you have the pandemic gone, right? You have a visa saying they're going to allow most of its employees to WFH through the remainder of

2020 to work from home by the way Johnson and Johnson is going to just to continue its talc based baby powder I know what you're thinking what about my chafing I mean what about I have all you can just use baking soda baking powder to help your chafing you don't necessarily need the Johnson and Johnson talc baby powder but they've been having a tough time with that I mean he causes can't been they've had lawsuits telling it the stuff has caused cancer and they knew about it. Wow. And then Facebook is launching their new e-commerce platform. Get ready. Get ready.

Called shops. S-H-O-PS is going to allow sellers to create digital storefronts on Instagram and Facebook. I have to check into that. I wonder what kind of cut they're going to take from that. If they take a percentage of your sales or they just take, they just, when you log on to shops you get ads that they've sold separately and do they have store do they have uh separate areas like if i sell tires am i going to be in the mini dress section of the fashion are they going to break it up into automotive different sections be interesting to see how facebook handles that um and you i mentioned

coals you know opening about half at stores they're still struggling a little bit you know they don't sell groceries. So they're saying that their sales dropped almost 44% during this first quarter. And who's one of the stores that's, you know, thriving? I'll give you three guesses.

And the first two don't count. Walmart. I mean, they're just thriving. They thrive because they sell everything. You can get whatever you want, one stop. You don't have to be. to wear a mask in some you have to wear a mask in others some you have to really watch out like we heard from the letter at chewing the fat chewing the fat at the blaze.com email yesterday one of our

listeners told us about their travels and they went to the walmart and they stopped them and said the the caron the contact tracer the special crossing guard at the door of walmart said stop halt you must wait until the person in front if you enters the two sliding doors. Then I can allow you to go in. And unlike Kevin and Karen at the Costco, they just turned around and walked away. They didn't videotape it and say Walmart sucked.

They didn't videotape it and said, Last I saw, I woke up in America. And remember, remember, what's the name of the coffee? Is it Lucking coffee? L-U-C-I-N coffee. Remember the guy was, I'm sorry, he wasn't lying or cheating or anything.

He was fabricating sales numbers as the C-O-O-O of the company. NASDAQ is like, we're going to delist you. I'll have a nice day. Yeah, sure. You know, yeah, we know you had the internal probe and revealed that the numbers were wrong. And your guy was, you know, your guy was cheating. And you got rid of them and everything. I'm sorry, did I say cheating?

I meant fabricating the 2019 sales. But you know what? We're just going to cut you off. You're off the exchange. Have a nice day. Oh, okay. Thank you. And this, I find really fascinating.

Miracle Grow has attributed growing portion of its sales to its subsidiary Hawthorne Gardening. So when you see Hawthorne Gardening, you know it's under the Scott's Miracle Grow banner which specializes in hydroponic cannabis cultivation. In two last year, Hawthorne Gardening, 20% of Scott's Miracle Grow's revenues came from Hawthorne Gardening. Wow.

I mean, that is incredible. The money that's coming in to Miracle Grove from Hawthorne Gardening just to grow pot, I'm sorry, hydroponic cannabis cultivation. And that is amazing. If you are part of Hawthorne gardening, you are living large, man. You are living large at Scott's Miracle Grow. I'm sure the grass is greener side of the company is like, they're still. That's only 20%.

They're nothing. They're nothing. How's your growth coming? How's your growth coming? It ain't growing like that. you go back and figure out a way to get the old grass growth growing while we go over here and talk to the people who are actually growing grass.

Okay, so, I mean, I wrote the subway for, you know,

a little while. I didn't ride him for very long. We just, you know, if it was cold outside and we wanted to hop the subway to go a few blocks, you do. Other than that, we mostly just walk. But just to stay out of the subways, because the subways are or were, you know, not the best place to be. But do you want to hear the crowd of people in the subways?

Do you want to hear? I was just thinking you'd hear a gunshot. You know, hearing the gunshots in the subway, make me feel at home. Just make me feel at home. Stand clear of the closing doors, please. Does that make you feel better? This is a Brooklyn-bound, 5 express train.

And that's where the sounder would be if there actually was one. So there's a new sheriff, Sheriff Wayne Ivy, in Brevard County, Florida.

He's trying to take over for my main. man, Grady Judd in Polk County, Florida. And I got news for you, Sheriff Wayne Ivy. I appreciate the hard work you're putting in. I know you're trying to take over,

trying to, you know, push Grady out of the way, but it's not happening. Grady Judd is still the man. But the sheriff in Brevard County, Wayne Ivy, he's so mad at this house.

that they keep getting calls to that he's brought his whole crew out in the street in front of the house and recorded a Facebook live. It's awesome. Awesome. I mean, it's awesome if you think it's a good idea that the police department should be out recording

in front of your private home telling other Americans and the people in his county and people worldwide that this is a criminal house and that everybody that comes in or out of this house or lives there are criminals and you just made his hit list. Hello everyone, I'm Sheriff Wayne Ivey

of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office and this afternoon I'm standing in by the house at 4295 Delisbein Road in Port St. John that has become a complete nuisance to its neighborhood and our agency. This house and the overwhelming majority of the people in it are a constant disruption and a pain in the butt to their neighbors. The children in this area, and to be honest, your taxpayer dollars,

as our agency has now responded to almost 100 calls for service at this address in the past 12 months. Now, think about that for a minute. Almost 100 times our deputies. I mean, that's 10 a month, right? Just under 10 a month? It feels like 100 sounds like a lot, but if you're, you know, know you're looking at seven right seven seven 84

eight eight or nine calls a month I guess I guess to be a little I mean who doesn't have a an officer stop by your house once a week just to make sure that everything's okay Jeff that's your parole officer oh it's not the sheriff's department oh okay all right go ahead back to a back to a Wayne ivy

sheriff Wayne ivy and team members have had to respond to this address for various complaints that have taken them away from being able to protect the remainder of this community. Just because the majority of the people that live or frequent this address can't obey the law. Now, the calls to this house have been for drugs, drug overdose where Narcan had to be deployed, fights, stolen vehicles, needles thrown over the fence in the neighbor's yard, disturbances, and so on. In fact, 31 disturbances that we have had to respond to. In addition...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. There was so much happening in that house. So you're telling me, I no longer recognize my country, Jeff Fisher, when I can no longer throw my needles over the fence to my neighbor's house. I know. You telling me that my used needles that I use for whatever drugs I want to use, I cannot throw to my neighbor's house. No, this is not my America that I recognize. My goodness, my founding fathers. If they were throwing bags of cash over the family.

Has everybody be okay with it? And by the way, on a little note on this, the whole narcam that you had to use, that is not, no, no. You're trying to make this house look as worse than it is. Oh, we even have to bring back the guy from the dead because he OD. Who cares? We know that when someone ODs, you're going to use that drug to bring him back. So that is a no issue, sheriff.

And no matter anyone, anyone who is. on heavy narcotics has to have the Narcon. I mean, here in Texas, if you're an elderly person on heavy narcotics, you have to have Narcan in the house. Have to.

So, like, I know what he was trying to do. I want to back this up. I want to back this up, too, because he set over 100 calls in the last year. And then he throws out this other number after this was like 31 times. I want to know where he's making the distinction of 100 in a year, and then he goes on to talk about they used, there was drug overdoses,

there's needles being tossed in the sideyards. Cairns are calling to complain about the neighbor, about the house, the partying going out in the house. I mean, a bunch of nosy-ass neighbors in this neighborhood, I'll tell you that. Mind your own damn business. Just because the majority of the people that live are frequent this address can't obey the law. Now, the calls to this house have been for drugs, drug overdose, where Narcan had to be deployed, fights, stolen vehicles, needles thrown over the fence in the neighbor's yard,

disturbances, and so on. In fact, 31 disturbances that we have had to respond to. In addition, our team has made multiple arrests of this address, as well as arrests of various subjects that were leaving the residence and so forth. How is that the homeowner's fault? So you're telling me that if a criminal comes to my friend of the house and he gets arrested. That's a thing on my house?

This is such a hard line to take. Yes. It is such a And I know what he's trying to do. I know what he's trying to do. Me too. And nobody wants to have the drug house in their neighborhood. And no one supports the police department before we continue. Hold on. We have not thrown that disclaimer yet. Thank you.

No one supports the Bravado County Sheriff's Office in Florida more than this show does. or are any sheriff's department well today are today full support full support prevar county sheriff's office in Florida

the official Facebook account we pull off and by the way you have the freaking idiots in the back to show force so he has he introduces him he introduces him later

oh okay don't worry because he has lieutenant bangle over there with a full SWAT team usage then you got the other guy behind him to his is right the guy back there he's in charge he's the guy that's going to charge in charge of the hit list task force it's awesome just yesterday we arrested two scumbags who had just left this house who were both violent felons nope nope nope no i don't no no you don't have the right to do that how do you know their scumbags and how is that a thing on the house and just because you arrested them doesn't mean they're guilty yes and doesn't mean they're guilty yes and doesn't mean they're scumb bags.

Well, okay. You get arrested by sheriff. It actually broken into a house through a doggy door where a 10-year-old was sitting in the house playing. The people at this house are dealing in drugs. I want to stop for just a second. Just pause for one moment right there for a second. Okay.

Now, I grant you, it's the guy broke into the other person's house. But if you're the size of a human being that could fit through a doggy door, I'm guessing the 10-year-old kid is pretty. safe. Okay. Stealing other people's stuff to finance their crimes and it needs to stop. Enough is enough. The neighbors in this area in such distress, they won't even let their kids go outside to play for fear that they will encounter one of these. That's not my fault as a homeowner.

Exactly. And by the way, you nosy neighbors. Cairns of Provile County, your kids are not supposed to be outside because of the COVID-19. So how about you calm the hell down, Karen? in? No, they can't be outside, but they have to be in the backyard and then, you know, then they end up getting a needle on the side of their head from. So they've left behind. Now, I've never been shy about telling people that we target criminals since they target our citizens. So since the majority of the occupants residents can't obey the law, then this is what we are going to do. You and your house have now officially made my hit list. High intensity target.

That's right. And what does that mean? I am so sorry again. We know what this sheriff is trying to do, but no one should be on anybody's hit list. Fisher? Am I wrong on this? You're really pushing your luck with me. You're like a sheriff is trying to keep his county and this neighborhood safe

by putting these people on his high intensity. the stupid this story is really hard for me really hard for me because i want to like it i want these kind of you know the drug house in the neighborhood nobody does i get it nobody does but to have the sheriff's department of filming in front of you your house give your address calling people that are coming to your house dirt bags and scum and saying that he's put you on his doesn't the story have what is what he's called his hit list the hitless high intent and the active squad i doesn't know what it is i just play that back we have i got to remember what inside the house and you know exactly what i'm talking about I'm constantly begging to go to jail. So congratulations.

You are now on the sheriff's hit list. And as such, if you can't obey the law, you will very soon find yourself living at a different address, the Brevard County Jail. In fact, let me be very clear. If you're even thinking about visiting this house, you may want to rethink your visit. Because if you show up at this house with the thought of committing a crime, there is a relatively good chance you're going to find yourself a target of our agency, and you will find yourself on the way to jail or perhaps blue lights in your rearview mirror. In Brevard County, our citizens are our partners. And in this area, the neighbors that are impacted by this nuisance have actually taken

upon themselves to install surveillance cameras that point directly at this house in an effort to protect themselves against the disgusting behavior that goes on here. So keep in mind that every single person that comes to this residence and their actions are under surveillance. And the neighbors are very kind about sharing the videos with us every day. Now, folks, this is Commander Woolsey. He is our North Precinct Commander. He's going to be our point of this project.

And that's exactly what this is, a pet project that is targeting those that commit crimes at this address. I can assure you that Commander Woolsey and his team would like nothing better than to put bad people in jail that are at this residence causing problems with neighbors.

So starting right now, the house you see behind me at 4295 Delisbein Road in Port St. John, Florida, is on his hit list as well, as we are sick and tired of you causing your neighbors to live in constant fear.

So Woolsey and the sheriff who got that. their hit list. They put them on the same hit list. I don't know if the high intensity target is on this, you know, if they have different people on each of their hit lists and now they're both the same. Now they've got,

when they cross path, never cross the stream. Never cross the stream. You cross the stream, you're going down. I mean, I want to be behind this guy so bad. And bless his heart,

it's keeping you safe. I love them. I love these sheriffs. I would truly do. You guys are awesome. But I'm so torn. I'm so torn with him standing out in front of my house. I mean, is that a person's house?

And saying that dirt bags are coming, scumbags are coming up to my house. Wow. And, you know, look, one kid gets a needle stuck in their head. As they're playing in the backyard, it gets tossed over the fence, and the whole thing's got to come down. Think how bad that is. is. Look how bad that is,

Mommy! Get the hyperdermic sticking out of the top of the head. Nobody wants that. That is not the America we want right there. I can't stop thinking about it now, though. Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
