Speaker 1: Has the world gone crazy? The answer is yes, because
0:10
Speaker 1: in the middle of a global pandemic, crime is running rampant.
0:16
Speaker 1: Even more disturbing, many of those crimes are COVID related.
0:29
Speaker 1: Everything from the wealthy trying to jump the line to
0:33
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, calling their concierge doctors for preferential treatment,
0:38
Speaker 1: to flat out murder, domestic violence, children being beaten and
0:45
Speaker 1: worse because of COVID. You've got people dressing up like
0:50
Speaker 1: little old ladies to get in aligned to get the shot. First,
0:55
Speaker 1: what is happening, why is it happening, and how do
0:59
Speaker 1: we stop it? Again? Thank you for being with us
1:01
Speaker 1: here at Crime Stories with me an all star panel.
1:04
Speaker 1: But first, take a listen to our friend Amanda Roberts
1:07
Speaker 1: at Fox eight. Originally from Detroit, Tulane Police Corporal Martinez
1:12
Speaker 1: Mitchell made New Orleans his home. He had a long
1:15
Speaker 1: history of working as a law enforcement officer for various
1:18
Speaker 1: educational institutions. Mitchell worked with the Loyola Police Department. He
1:22
Speaker 1: worked with several New Orleans area high schools, most recently
1:25
Speaker 1: the Tulane Police Department, honoring his service to their department
1:29
Speaker 1: for four years. And now he's dead. I'm not sure
1:34
Speaker 1: I've got this right, and I hope somebody can correct me.
1:37
Speaker 1: Did a thirty eight year old Louisiana police officer and
1:41
Speaker 1: the prime of his life get gunned down dead at
1:45
Speaker 1: a high school basketball game by a guy who refused
1:51
Speaker 1: to mask up? And so now the officer is dead
1:59
Speaker 1: over a face mask with me an all star panel,
2:02
Speaker 1: former prosecutor, now veteran defense attorney and multiple jurisdictions. Daryl
2:08
Speaker 1: Cohen joining me, named partner with Cohen, Cooper, Estep and
2:12
Speaker 1: Allen renown psy psychiatrists joining me out of the Atlanta jurisdiction.
2:16
Speaker 1: Doctor Angela Arnold. You can find her at Angela Arnold
2:20
Speaker 1: MD dot com. Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, author of
2:25
Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon and star of a
2:28
Speaker 1: brand new program on the True Crime Network, Poisonous Liaisons.
2:32
Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Morgan, death investigator, Deputy medical examiner out of
2:38
Speaker 1: Travis County. That's Austin joining me, Doctor Kendall Crowns, but
2:43
Speaker 1: right now to an Emmy Award winning investigative reporter and
2:47
Speaker 1: a president of Successful Strategies PR and Crisis Communications. Christy, Missouri. Christy,
2:53
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us, and thank you to
2:54
Speaker 1: the rest of our guests. Christy, tell me what happened
2:59
Speaker 1: to Officer myth him? Excuse me, Sergeant Mitcham. What happened?
3:02
Speaker 1: Absolutely shocking story. As you mentioned, I mean, he was
3:06
Speaker 1: giving back to his community, just serving a security detail
3:11
Speaker 1: at an area high school. There was a basketball game
3:13
Speaker 1: going on when he was a gunned down. It was
3:17
Speaker 1: a shock to everybody around. I'm saying conflicting reports, Christy
3:22
Speaker 1: as to whether he's a corporal or a sergeant. Martinis
3:26
Speaker 1: Mitchen of Tulane UNIVERSITYPD shot dead by some nut who
3:33
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear a mask. Take a listen to a man
3:36
Speaker 1: Or Roberts. At Fox eight. The night of the shooting,
3:39
Speaker 1: NPD Chief Superintendent Shohn Ferguson gave his condolences to all
3:43
Speaker 1: who knew him. Ferguson described how that night Mitchem was
3:46
Speaker 1: protecting young people and their families watching a basketball game
3:50
Speaker 1: inside the George Washington Carver High School. The NPD says
3:53
Speaker 1: the shooter tried to enter the game without a mask
3:56
Speaker 1: and got into a fight with another school employee when
3:59
Speaker 1: Mitcham intervened before he was fatally shot. As a result
4:03
Speaker 1: of him intervening the attempting to escort this individual out
4:06
Speaker 1: of the school, which is right at the door of
4:09
Speaker 1: the front door of this school of this building. This
4:13
Speaker 1: individual pulled this weapon out and fired a shot that
4:17
Speaker 1: struck the officer in his chest. That night, NPD arrested
4:21
Speaker 1: John Schallerhorne on two charges. NPD says Shallerhorne not only
4:25
Speaker 1: put the weapon on the ground after firing the two shots,
4:28
Speaker 1: allowing officers to arrest him, but they also charged him
4:31
Speaker 1: with armed robbery at the high school. They say, at
4:34
Speaker 1: some point in the night, he threatened a man sitting
4:36
Speaker 1: in his car with the gun and stole the man's
4:38
Speaker 1: medallion chain. So I guess Officer Mitcham's police instincts kicked in.
4:45
Speaker 1: He sees this guy without a mask, tries to stop,
4:47
Speaker 1: and we're making put on a mask. He refuses, tries
4:50
Speaker 1: to escort him out, and the guy turns around and
4:52
Speaker 1: shoots him dead in the chest. Straight back to Christie, Missouri,
4:56
Speaker 1: joining us Christie Nancy. There is a backstory here also
5:00
Speaker 1: go ahead. That wasn't the gunman's first confrontation with cops
5:05
Speaker 1: that day. Hours before Officer Mitcham's killing, this shooter was
5:10
Speaker 1: kicked out of a local casino for not wearing a mask,
5:14
Speaker 1: and police officers on that scene were wearing body cameras
5:18
Speaker 1: and recorded John Shallowhorn's anti mask rants, saying that casino's
5:24
Speaker 1: mask mandate was discrimination. Those cops escort him out of
5:29
Speaker 1: the casino and site him. Then he makes his way
5:33
Speaker 1: over to this area high school, and of course this
5:36
Speaker 1: tragedy occurs. Now his defense attorney says, hold on, pump
5:41
Speaker 1: the brakes. This isn't an anti masked mandate situation, he's saying.
5:47
Speaker 1: His attorney is saying, my client has a history of
5:51
Speaker 1: mental illness. Okay, so let me understand this. So he's
5:56
Speaker 1: mentally ill, just got Morgan joining me forensics expert, according
6:01
Speaker 1: to his defense attorney, But he gets kicked out of
6:03
Speaker 1: a casino for not wearing a mask, and then he
6:06
Speaker 1: goes to another public gathering not wearing a mask. He
6:10
Speaker 1: has to wherewithal to still a medallion at gunpoint off
6:14
Speaker 1: a guy sitting alone in his car. He knows darn
6:18
Speaker 1: well what he did and that he is supposed to
6:22
Speaker 1: wear a mask. You're going to room, everybody's wearing a mask,
6:24
Speaker 1: but you how important is it? Joe Scott Morgan that
6:29
Speaker 1: we wear masks well right now relative to the mandate
6:33
Speaker 1: that we have, it is essential particular. You know, he's
6:35
Speaker 1: trying to get into an auditorium, Nancy, with a bunch
6:39
Speaker 1: of kids and their parents who are just trying to
6:41
Speaker 1: peacefully watch this basketball game, and here he is creating
6:45
Speaker 1: a ruckus at the door because he's trying to flee
6:47
Speaker 1: an armed robbery that he has just committed. And you know,
6:51
Speaker 1: the police officer sees this. So not only is he
6:53
Speaker 1: confronted with the obstacle of the police officer in his way,
6:57
Speaker 1: he knows that sooner or later they're going to find
7:00
Speaker 1: out about this. The police officer just sees this guy's
7:02
Speaker 1: in violation of public health. But right now it's gotten
7:06
Speaker 1: to a critical mask he was up killing this cop
7:08
Speaker 1: because of this. You know, to you, doctor Kennel Crown's
7:10
Speaker 1: Deputy medical Examiner, Travis County, Texas, that's Austin, Doctor crowns,
7:15
Speaker 1: I contracted COVID coronavirus, and I know how I got it.
7:21
Speaker 1: I got it from my mom through one of her
7:24
Speaker 1: care workers. I know exactly how I got it, and
7:27
Speaker 1: then I gave it to the rest of my family,
7:31
Speaker 1: all through being breathed and coughed on by my mom.
7:36
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. Doctor Crown's just how important is
7:41
Speaker 1: it that we wear masks? And think of this packed gymnasium,
7:45
Speaker 1: at this high school, at this basketball game. Well, the
7:48
Speaker 1: important to wearing a mask, it's it's to not just
7:51
Speaker 1: protect you, but to protect the others surrounding you. And
7:54
Speaker 1: it's you know, they have shown that by wearing a mask,
7:59
Speaker 1: you can cut down on your chance of getting the
8:02
Speaker 1: coronavirus from him an individual who has it significantly. Even
8:06
Speaker 1: with the cloth masks that are handed out, it is
8:09
Speaker 1: helpful to have it on, and especially in a crowded gymnasium,
8:13
Speaker 1: you know, with a lot of people in the building,
8:15
Speaker 1: it's better to have it on than to not have
8:18
Speaker 1: it on. Anyone walking in there without a mask on
8:21
Speaker 1: is let's say, if they had coronavirus, is potentially exposing
8:25
Speaker 1: all those people in that facility. So masks are very
8:29
Speaker 1: important to stop the spread. You're right, every single one
8:34
Speaker 1: of them. And now this officer is dead. But that's
8:37
Speaker 1: just the tip of it. Take a listen what happened
8:39
Speaker 1: with a Connecticut lawyer and his COVID nineteen positive wife.
8:45
Speaker 1: This is Matt Carson Fox sixty one. A well known couple,
8:48
Speaker 1: John and Cindy Lacori lived here in Suffield, pretty established
8:52
Speaker 1: here by all accounts, great people. Fifty nine year old
8:56
Speaker 1: John a family attorney, his wife fifty five year old Cindy,
9:00
Speaker 1: a business owner. A sign on the door of her
9:02
Speaker 1: business reads closed due to a family emergency. Christmas Day,
9:06
Speaker 1: six pm, Cindy is here at thirty three Dale Street
9:09
Speaker 1: and wins her locks. It's her mother's house. She's taking
9:11
Speaker 1: care of the dogs because her mother is in the
9:13
Speaker 1: hospital battling COVID. John arrives. We're not sure what ensued
9:19
Speaker 1: between them, but evidence is leading us to believe that
9:23
Speaker 1: he then shot her and then himself. It happened on
9:27
Speaker 1: the bed in the bedroom with the revolver. Prior to
9:30
Speaker 1: the shooting, John called Cindy's brother and told him what
9:33
Speaker 1: he was about to do. The brother rushed to the home,
9:36
Speaker 1: found the bodies and called nine one one. We do
9:39
Speaker 1: not believe he is involved. No, In addition to Cindy's mother,
9:42
Speaker 1: let's believes Cindy, herself and possibly her husband John. We're
9:45
Speaker 1: also dealing with a diagnosis of COVID. So to you
9:48
Speaker 1: Chrissy Missourich investigative reporter joining us. The wife's mother has COVID.
9:55
Speaker 1: The wife has contrived to COVID and apparently gives it
9:58
Speaker 1: to her husband the kinnectic, a lawyer, and he kills
10:01
Speaker 1: her right, you know. And and here's the tragic irony.
10:05
Speaker 1: The wife's business made face mask and hand sanitizer. That's
10:12
Speaker 1: the type of business she was in. So the backstory
10:15
Speaker 1: here with this attorney, he was talking to a colleague
10:19
Speaker 1: just hours before this occurred, and the attorney claimed, you know,
10:23
Speaker 1: he seemed upset on the phone calls. He was anxious
10:26
Speaker 1: talking about the mother in law being sick, talking about
10:29
Speaker 1: his wife being sick. But at no time did he
10:32
Speaker 1: feel that John would open fire on his wife. So
10:35
Speaker 1: the mom gets it, gives it to the daughter. Yep,
10:38
Speaker 1: she gives it to him. Long story short, he shoots
10:41
Speaker 1: her dad. That's the tip of the iceberg of COVID
10:44
Speaker 1: crimes happening. Now take a listen to our friends. At
10:47
Speaker 1: twelve Knees, Arizona, Saturday evening, Wickenburg police say Sarah Michelle
10:52
Speaker 1: Boone hurt her kids. The three children had all tested
10:55
Speaker 1: positive for the coronavirus, and police say their mother hit one,
10:59
Speaker 1: kicked another, and picked the third up by their neck
11:01
Speaker 1: because they weren't wearing masks. Wickenburg police say the kids
11:04
Speaker 1: range from five to fourteen years old and did not
11:07
Speaker 1: need to go to the hospital. After the incident, Boon
11:09
Speaker 1: police say was intoxicated and ran away from officers. She
11:13
Speaker 1: was caught and is now facing child abuse and assault charges,
11:16
Speaker 1: among others. So mommy gets drunk, it starts beating the
11:19
Speaker 1: children because they have COVID and or we're not wearing
11:23
Speaker 1: their face masks. The world has turned upside down during
11:26
Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic, including right here in our country. Crime
11:38
Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace, we are talking about as they
11:42
Speaker 1: are called COVID crimes. Take a listen to this. Orange
11:46
Speaker 1: County's top health officer says that to one of the
11:49
Speaker 1: grannies pulled off their disguise and successfully got the first
11:52
Speaker 1: dose of the COVID nineteen vaccine. We have learned one
11:55
Speaker 1: of the women is in her thirties, the others in
11:58
Speaker 1: her forties, but the act was were just moments before
12:01
Speaker 1: they attempted to get their second dose despite their convincing outfits.
12:06
Speaker 1: So yesterday we've realized a couple of young ladies can
12:10
Speaker 1: dress up as grannie's to give vaccinaty four, the second time,
12:16
Speaker 1: donning a convincing disguise complete with gloves, glasses, and even
12:20
Speaker 1: a bonnet. Doctor Raoul Pino says when the two women
12:23
Speaker 1: returned to the convention center for their final shot in
12:26
Speaker 1: the arm, suspicions arose they had a valid CDC carfre vaticination.
12:31
Speaker 1: Orange County sheriff deputies arriving here at the convention center after,
12:35
Speaker 1: they say, vaccinators realized the pair fraudulently registered for an
12:39
Speaker 1: appointment with birthdates that didn't match, so I don't know
12:42
Speaker 1: how they escape the first time, the Sheriff's office identifying
12:45
Speaker 1: the women as Olga Munroy Ramirez and Martha Vivian Munroy
12:49
Speaker 1: and issuing a trespassing warning. Two young healthy women age
12:54
Speaker 1: thirty four and forty four busted for dressing up like
12:59
Speaker 1: l ols ladies grannies to get the COVID vaccine earlier.
13:04
Speaker 1: And I noticed a couple of snickers in here in
13:07
Speaker 1: the studio. Guess what, My eighty nine year old mother
13:11
Speaker 1: has not been able to get the vaccine yet, nor
13:15
Speaker 1: have I, nor my husband, nor many other people that
13:18
Speaker 1: I know, So it's really not that funny to me,
13:22
Speaker 1: you know, Doctor Angela Arnold, Why is that a laughing
13:26
Speaker 1: matter that these two women, young and healthy, dress up
13:30
Speaker 1: as grannies and end up cutting a real grannie out
13:35
Speaker 1: of the line to get the COVID vaccine. Why is
13:37
Speaker 1: that funny to you? Jack, I don't get it. It's
13:40
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would think that that my mom's
13:43
Speaker 1: going to die, and the in the COVID ward. She
13:48
Speaker 1: was in the hospital two full weeks. She turned eighty nine.
13:51
Speaker 1: In the hospital, I thought, I have my children would
13:54
Speaker 1: never see her alive again. We couldn't get it to
13:56
Speaker 1: see her. And now I hear about these two liars
14:00
Speaker 1: dressing up in a costume to cut in the line. Well,
14:05
Speaker 1: it may be funny to them because apparently they haven't
14:08
Speaker 1: had COVID and they don't know how scary it is
14:10
Speaker 1: to have COVID because you don't know what's going to
14:13
Speaker 1: happen to you. And apparently they don't know anyone who's
14:16
Speaker 1: who has suffered from this. You know, I'm just thinking
14:19
Speaker 1: about these two. The women show up at the Orlando
14:22
Speaker 1: Convention Center carrying CDC cards confirming that had their first
14:26
Speaker 1: days had already cheated to get their first dose wearing
14:30
Speaker 1: a disguise. The police were called and body camp footage
14:34
Speaker 1: shows one officer braiding them and saying, you're lucky you're
14:39
Speaker 1: not being arrested. You know, I don't get it, Darryl
14:42
Speaker 1: covid Why aren't they arrested? Who should have been arrested, Nancy?
14:45
Speaker 1: And better than that, they should have been sentenced as
14:48
Speaker 1: part of their probation to go and work in a
14:51
Speaker 1: COVID ward and see what is happening and see why
14:55
Speaker 1: I couldn't even get in to see my own mother.
14:57
Speaker 1: They're not going to send these two fraudsters in to
15:00
Speaker 1: working at COVID ward. COVID ward, they can make sure
15:04
Speaker 1: that they are there. Good. Yeah, I'm looking at you, okay.
15:10
Speaker 1: In her defense, I'll make a cameo appearance as a
15:13
Speaker 1: defense lawyer just this once. Jackie did have COVID, and
15:16
Speaker 1: I think I'm a mayna who gave it to her.
15:19
Speaker 1: But I'm taking the fifth on that um dressing up
15:23
Speaker 1: as a granny to cut the line so real grannies
15:28
Speaker 1: and grandpa's couldn't get their COVID shot. Well, they're not
15:33
Speaker 1: the only ones. Take a listen to this as Oh
15:36
Speaker 1: everybody that was Nikki's Zaza with Click Orlando dot Com.
15:40
Speaker 1: Now take a listen to our friends at Inside Edition.
15:43
Speaker 1: A soul Cycle trainer is under fire today for allegedly
15:47
Speaker 1: jumping the line for the COVID vaccine. Stacy griff have
15:50
Speaker 1: bragged about getting the vaccine on Instagram Vaccine Day, step
15:54
Speaker 1: one of the Maderna Magic she posted, but she's just
15:57
Speaker 1: fifty two years old, thirteen years younger than the sixty
16:01
Speaker 1: five year old eligibility. So how'd she do it? She
16:04
Speaker 1: claimed to be an educator, putting her to the front
16:07
Speaker 1: of the COVID line. Stacy is the soul cycle legend. Griffith,
16:13
Speaker 1: who's appeared as a Soul Cycle Master instructor on Network TV,
16:17
Speaker 1: apologized today saying I made a terrible error in judgment
16:21
Speaker 1: and for that I am truly sorry. New York City
16:24
Speaker 1: Mayor Bill Deblasio said he's really upset. I don't think
16:28
Speaker 1: someone who shows up and says, hey, I'm a Soul
16:30
Speaker 1: Cycle instructor should have qualified unless there's some other factor
16:35
Speaker 1: there and that should have been caught in the application process.
16:39
Speaker 1: This is a woman. Let me go to you, Chrissy Missourich,
16:42
Speaker 1: if I'm thinking about the right woman, Stacy Griffin. Let
16:45
Speaker 1: me pull up her picture. Oh yeah, that's her so
16:50
Speaker 1: in shape, she's beautiful, she's wealthy, she's educated, she's privileged.
16:57
Speaker 1: So she's still had to cut the line. With all
17:00
Speaker 1: that going for her, she couldn't wait her turn and
17:02
Speaker 1: knew enough Nancy to be sneaky to drive an hour
17:07
Speaker 1: to Staten Island. Oh wait a minute, whoa wait a minute,
17:10
Speaker 1: Christy Missourk, you're telling me something I didn't know. Oh yeah,
17:13
Speaker 1: say that again. I'm going to circle back with Cohen
17:15
Speaker 1: on why this is significant. Oh yeah, she filled up
17:18
Speaker 1: the paperwork fraudulently and then went to a vaccine facility
17:22
Speaker 1: an hour away in Staten Island, so she knew people
17:26
Speaker 1: would recognize her if she went in her own neighborhood.
17:28
Speaker 1: You know, Darryl Cohen, you know why that's so important.
17:31
Speaker 1: What Chrissy Missurk just told us. It shows planning, a
17:36
Speaker 1: forethought scheming. You know, the other day, Daryl, I couldn't
17:41
Speaker 1: get my mom in anywhere around her, even at her
17:45
Speaker 1: advanced age. Everything. In fact, a lady calling us on
17:48
Speaker 1: the phone and went, hey, hey, I think I've got
17:49
Speaker 1: a spot for your mom, and as I'm talking to her,
17:52
Speaker 1: the spot got taken. You know, it just was so
17:56
Speaker 1: And then Daryl I got her an appointment for the shot.
17:59
Speaker 1: It was going to be a two hour drive, and
18:02
Speaker 1: I was going to go ahead and drive the two
18:04
Speaker 1: hours to get my mom the shot. The night before
18:09
Speaker 1: she got sick and we didn't feel like she should
18:11
Speaker 1: take the COVID shot feeling sick. And I was just
18:16
Speaker 1: so upset about it. And now I hear about the
18:19
Speaker 1: soul cycle millionaire Stacy Griffith driving not to just get
18:24
Speaker 1: the shot because that's the only one she could get,
18:27
Speaker 1: but because she would be recognized in her neighborhood, says
18:30
Speaker 1: Christie Mazurk. And I think Christie's right. Well, perhaps she
18:32
Speaker 1: should have gone to Coney Island, where she would belongs.
18:35
Speaker 1: So what she showed was absolutely I'd like to join
18:41
Speaker 1: in on the laughter. I get the jokes, but you know,
18:44
Speaker 1: my mom as died, I gave us to my children unwittingly.
18:50
Speaker 1: I just went to a memorial service yesterday for a
18:54
Speaker 1: family relative that passed away with COVID. And just to
19:00
Speaker 1: think they're so entitled with all the money and all
19:03
Speaker 1: the fame, Darryl that you can just do anything, and
19:07
Speaker 1: she didn't get away with it. Will you See, Nancy,
19:09
Speaker 1: it's no big deal until you know someone, until you
19:12
Speaker 1: have someone that's close to you that dies are almost dies,
19:16
Speaker 1: it becomes funny. I'm going to jump the line. Well,
19:20
Speaker 1: the people who jump the line need to go ahead
19:24
Speaker 1: and be pushed in the back of the line and
19:26
Speaker 1: maybe subjected to people who have COVID both visually and physically,
19:32
Speaker 1: and to see just how bad it is for some.
19:36
Speaker 1: Fortunately for me, she's not, but she's got plenty plenty
19:42
Speaker 1: of other potatoes in the stew with her. Take a
19:46
Speaker 1: listen to what this millionaire couple did. Here's Tanya Flesher
19:50
Speaker 1: with CBCNS. This is the couple at the center of
19:53
Speaker 1: it all, Rodney Baker, now former CEO of the Great
19:56
Speaker 1: Canadian Gaming Corporation, and the Katerina Baker, a rush and
20:00
Speaker 1: born actress. It's believed the pair flew from Vancouver to
20:03
Speaker 1: white Horse on January nineteenth. Two days later, skipping the
20:07
Speaker 1: mandatory fourteen day quarantine. The Baker's chartered of flight nearly
20:11
Speaker 1: five hundred kilometers away to Beaver Creek, Canada's westernmost community,
20:16
Speaker 1: near the Alaska border. That's where they allegedly lined up
20:19
Speaker 1: outside one of these mobile vaccination clinics posing as workers
20:23
Speaker 1: of the local motel. Staff who actually work at the
20:27
Speaker 1: motel are incensed. But the biggest red flag came after
20:31
Speaker 1: the two were immunized. But then as they were leaving,
20:33
Speaker 1: they said could they get a lift to the airport,
20:36
Speaker 1: and after that officials were tipped off. Copies of the
20:40
Speaker 1: tickets show they were charged with two counts each of
20:42
Speaker 1: failing to self isolate and failing to follow a declaration.
20:46
Speaker 1: So basically they got a ticket. Let me just break
20:49
Speaker 1: that down. Millionaire couple takes a fly, then a charter
20:55
Speaker 1: fly to then dress up as motel workers to get
21:00
Speaker 1: the vaccine crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys we are
21:13
Speaker 1: talking about as they're commonly referred to as COVID crimes,
21:18
Speaker 1: from outright murders to beating children with COVID that don't
21:23
Speaker 1: wear their face masks and infecting mommy, to people pulling
21:27
Speaker 1: off all sorts of disguises and charter flights and long
21:32
Speaker 1: drives in order to cut the line. That's really the
21:37
Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. Now I love this guy, but
21:42
Speaker 1: I don't love what he said, Take a listen to
21:46
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley of the NBA in front of the line.
21:49
Speaker 1: We need three hundred million shots of giving a thousand
21:53
Speaker 1: to some NBA players. What about what about NFL? NFL?
21:57
Speaker 1: I'm just gonnas the NFL players hockey points. Listen, it's
22:01
Speaker 1: much taxes these players pay. Let me repeat that, it's
22:07
Speaker 1: much taxes these players pay. They deserve some preferential treatment
22:12
Speaker 1: for for life and death. Yes, the amount of money
22:16
Speaker 1: you make. No, I said taxes. I just amount of
22:19
Speaker 1: money you make. But that I'm saying, the amount of
22:23
Speaker 1: taxes these guys pay. We can't go there. I don't
22:27
Speaker 1: think you could go down. He already went there. It's
22:30
Speaker 1: too late. That cow's out of the barn, the cat
22:33
Speaker 1: is out of the bag, the ship has sailed. It's over.
22:36
Speaker 1: Berkeley said it I pay more taxes, says Barkley. So
22:40
Speaker 1: he thinks he and others like him should get the
22:43
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine. Somebody needs a little tutorial in constitutional law
22:49
Speaker 1: and what our government is all about about equal protection
22:55
Speaker 1: under the law, regardless of your paycheck or your tax bracket.
23:00
Speaker 1: What he should get the vaccine before my mother or
23:03
Speaker 1: my children, or the makeup guy or the intern or
23:06
Speaker 1: Jackie why why is that? Okay? But somehow nobody called
23:11
Speaker 1: him out on it. I am Barkley. You're wrong and
23:16
Speaker 1: what you said not only was wrong, but it's against
23:19
Speaker 1: everything our country is supposed to stand for. But somehow
23:25
Speaker 1: COVID has turned that all upside down. The people in
23:28
Speaker 1: the highest tax bracket should get the shot first, specifically
23:33
Speaker 1: athletes like him. Okay, He's not the only one. I
23:38
Speaker 1: can't blame just Charles Barkley. Take a listen to this
23:42
Speaker 1: eat some two individual states to determine who gets the
23:45
Speaker 1: vaccine and when the frustration comes amid reports some wealthy
23:49
Speaker 1: Americans or trying to get vaccinated before they are eligible,
23:53
Speaker 1: and in some cases may have been successful. A state
23:56
Speaker 1: and federal investigation is underway after Morse Life Health System
24:00
Speaker 1: in West Palm Beach, Florida, was accused of giving vaccines
24:03
Speaker 1: to its rich donors who do not live at its
24:06
Speaker 1: assisted living facility. It was reportedly organized by two New
24:10
Speaker 1: York real estate moguls on the board of directors. You
24:14
Speaker 1: have basically given the vaccine to hundreds and hundreds of
24:17
Speaker 1: different private providers, and you're trusting that they're going to
24:21
Speaker 1: do the right thing. State Representative Omari Hardy oversees the
24:25
Speaker 1: district where Morse Life Health is located. It just goes
24:29
Speaker 1: to show that there's been one pandemic for the ranch
24:33
Speaker 1: and there's been another pandemic for the rest of us
24:35
Speaker 1: who are not rich and well connected. You are hearing
24:37
Speaker 1: our friend Manuel Borders quiz at CBS to Christie Missourich
24:43
Speaker 1: joining US investigative reporter and president Successful Strategies PR and
24:48
Speaker 1: Crisis Communications. Christie, what happened? Tell me? What is Morse
24:55
Speaker 1: Life Health System and who are they accused of giving
25:02
Speaker 1: the vaccine to? I guess what before the senior citizens
25:08
Speaker 1: in the rest home. That's correct, that's correct. And this guy,
25:12
Speaker 1: the owner of this health system, you know, has come
25:17
Speaker 1: under fire in the past also, so the New York
25:19
Speaker 1: State Attorney General is looking into this person. But he
25:23
Speaker 1: peeled away vaccines simply put for his family members, friends,
25:29
Speaker 1: the board of directors that was mentioned, his donors that
25:33
Speaker 1: subsidize different programs at the clinic, and to be honest
25:38
Speaker 1: with you, even people that are eligible for the shot, Nancy,
25:42
Speaker 1: they're coming under fire just in the court of public opinion. O. J.
25:47
Speaker 1: Simpson posted pictures of himself getting a shot, and the
25:51
Speaker 1: public was outraged. Here in the state of New York,
25:54
Speaker 1: our governor is coming under a lot of criticism for
25:57
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but most importantly, he was called
26:01
Speaker 1: out for being out and about for not wearing masks,
26:04
Speaker 1: for ridiculing his brother who's a news anchor, for not
26:07
Speaker 1: wearing a mask and getting COVID and potentially passing it
26:11
Speaker 1: on to family members. And then he was forced to
26:14
Speaker 1: cancel holiday plans with his kids when the public found
26:17
Speaker 1: out the girls were planning to travel in to see
26:20
Speaker 1: them out of the state of New York and not
26:23
Speaker 1: doing his mandated quarantine. So this is happening everywhere. So
26:28
Speaker 1: I guess the rule now to you, jes Scott Morgan
26:34
Speaker 1: is that the rich go first. Outrage is building as
26:38
Speaker 1: real estate moguls Bill and David S. Mac arranged for
26:43
Speaker 1: mega rich New York friends to get their vaccine at
26:46
Speaker 1: their Florida rehab center, while elderly locals either don't get
26:52
Speaker 1: it or have to camp outside at night and a
26:57
Speaker 1: line and the hope that they get it. Can you
27:00
Speaker 1: imagine my mother, She can barely walk, camping out in
27:06
Speaker 1: a tent on the sidewalk overnight at the chance of
27:11
Speaker 1: getting the COVID vaccine while these two Bill and David
27:16
Speaker 1: smack real estate moguls in New York arrange for all
27:21
Speaker 1: they're wealthy friends to get the vaccine at the Florida
27:26
Speaker 1: rephab center they own. How would that even work, Joe Scott,
27:30
Speaker 1: It's hard to know, Nancy, and I think that it
27:32
Speaker 1: all comes down to this idea of privilege, and they're
27:35
Speaker 1: manipulating the system in accordance to what they perceived their
27:38
Speaker 1: needs to be. And also they're bringing their friends along
27:42
Speaker 1: with it. And it goes to a bigger issue for
27:46
Speaker 1: me because I begin to hear stories like this and
27:49
Speaker 1: I think about maybe pursuing an investigation into outright fraud
27:54
Speaker 1: in this particular case. You know, I'm just trying to
27:56
Speaker 1: figure out, how does it work. Let's go to the doctor,
27:59
Speaker 1: doctor Ken Crowns, joining US Deputy Medical Examiner, Travis County,
28:02
Speaker 1: Texas Austin. Doctor Crowns, how do you just present a
28:08
Speaker 1: wealthy friend in the COVID vaccine line and somehow get
28:13
Speaker 1: the vaccine? You know, Nancy, I have no idea how
28:16
Speaker 1: you could pull that off, and how to healthcare people
28:19
Speaker 1: that are providing the vaccine would allow that to happen.
28:22
Speaker 1: That's just shocking to me. I mean, I had to
28:27
Speaker 1: prove who I was. I had to bring paperwork from
28:30
Speaker 1: the county Health Department and show up and wait in
28:34
Speaker 1: line to get my vaccine with the other healthcare professionals
28:38
Speaker 1: that we're getting them that day. But other than that,
28:41
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could do that, even with
28:44
Speaker 1: a good conscious, to deny other people the vaccine that
28:48
Speaker 1: truly needed right away. You know, I put my name
28:50
Speaker 1: in and put my mom a husband. We still haven't
28:57
Speaker 1: gotten the vaccine. And when I think of these guys
29:02
Speaker 1: sitting up in New York City in their high rise
29:06
Speaker 1: arranging for themselves and all their rich friends to go
29:09
Speaker 1: cut the line in front of a bunch of elderly
29:12
Speaker 1: citizens in Florida, and they actually do it, I don't understand,
29:16
Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen, how that cannot be a crime. It may
29:19
Speaker 1: be not a crime as far as the civil the
29:24
Speaker 1: people system is concerned, but it is clearly outrageous and
29:30
Speaker 1: it's a crime against humanity, that's what I'm saying. I
29:34
Speaker 1: don't understand how it's not a crime of a fraud
29:38
Speaker 1: of some sort, because you're feeling out documents that you
29:43
Speaker 1: fit into these criteria and yet you don't. That's a lot.
29:47
Speaker 1: That's like lying to a cop on a police report,
29:50
Speaker 1: which is a sworn document. But you know what, those two,
29:53
Speaker 1: Mac and his brother are not the only two. Take
29:56
Speaker 1: a listen to what's going on again down in Florida.
30:00
Speaker 1: This is Tarrate miner and my Vassilinda or is pushing
30:04
Speaker 1: back against claims his political action committee, Friends of Rhin
30:07
Speaker 1: de Santis, received a large donation after vaccines were made
30:10
Speaker 1: available to a wealthy community in the Keys. As Mike
30:14
Speaker 1: Vasilinda tells US, Florida's loan statewide elected democrat wants the
30:19
Speaker 1: FBI to investigate the allegations. In late January, the wealthy
30:24
Speaker 1: Ocean Reef community and Key Largo was offered shots by
30:28
Speaker 1: Baptist Hospital. A month later, Bruce Rowner, of former Illinois
30:32
Speaker 1: governor and Ocean Reef resident, said the Governor's political action
30:36
Speaker 1: committee Friends of Rohn de Santis a quarter million dollar check.
30:40
Speaker 1: The governor Thursday said his office had nothing to do
30:43
Speaker 1: was setting up the site and the initial a few
30:46
Speaker 1: three or four weeks, as you remember, the hospitals were
30:49
Speaker 1: getting the lion share of the vaccine but he added
30:51
Speaker 1: he was glad the hospital stepped up. You're sixty five
30:55
Speaker 1: in up. I'm not worried about your income bracket. I'm
30:57
Speaker 1: worried about your age bracket. Hours later, Agriculture Commissioner Nicki
31:01
Speaker 1: Freed called on the FBI to investigate crime stories with
31:14
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace, let's try back to Christian, Missouri, any award
31:18
Speaker 1: winning investigative reporter, what can you tell me about three
31:23
Speaker 1: of Baltimore men facing federal charges for purporting to sell
31:29
Speaker 1: COVID vaccines? As always, Nancy, there are vultures who prey
31:35
Speaker 1: on people during troubling times, and as you mentioned, they
31:38
Speaker 1: are just the tip of the iceberg. So they created
31:42
Speaker 1: a fictitious website reporting that, Hey, reach out to us,
31:47
Speaker 1: contact us and pitched out to people you can buy
31:52
Speaker 1: your own vaccine ahead of time. Just put down a
31:56
Speaker 1: little deposit with us and we'll get it right off
32:00
Speaker 1: to you. We have a guy up in upstate New York, Buffalo,
32:04
Speaker 1: New York who did the same thing on Facebook. That's
32:07
Speaker 1: how the Feds are catching these guys, Nancy. They're so
32:10
Speaker 1: pompous and arrogant with their schemes that they're doing it
32:14
Speaker 1: on social media. And people are so desperate to prevent
32:19
Speaker 1: death from occurring that they're struggling to survive, and they're
32:22
Speaker 1: getting caught and ensnared in these schemes. You know, when
32:26
Speaker 1: I was laying there with COVID and could not even
32:29
Speaker 1: get up to take care of the children, I wondered
32:33
Speaker 1: the thought went through my mind. What if I end
32:37
Speaker 1: up in the hospital being intubated. What if my husband
32:41
Speaker 1: David dies, He's going to take care of our children?
32:44
Speaker 1: What's going to happen to them? And now I'm reading
32:47
Speaker 1: about three Baltimore guys. He tried to sell fake COVID
32:52
Speaker 1: vaccines online just to get a hold of people's credit cards.
32:59
Speaker 1: I mean to doctor Angela Arnold, you're the psychiatrist. I'm
33:03
Speaker 1: just a JD. You know, I'm just a trial lawyer.
33:05
Speaker 1: But who would do that? Who would take advantage of
33:08
Speaker 1: people in their fear like this with a fake vaccine
33:13
Speaker 1: just to get ahold of credit card numbers? Well, Nancy,
33:15
Speaker 1: this is a crime of opportunity, isn't it. The hysteria
33:20
Speaker 1: over this is so high, and it has become so high,
33:25
Speaker 1: and people are waiting and they don't want to be
33:27
Speaker 1: like you, laying in the bed wondering if they're going
33:30
Speaker 1: to survive this or not. And you know what else,
33:34
Speaker 1: the people, I'm sorry to say it, people that have
33:37
Speaker 1: money can make these things happen. But it's the it's
33:40
Speaker 1: the hysteria that causes this crime of opportunity, doesn't it.
33:44
Speaker 1: And we see it in all different in all different things.
33:47
Speaker 1: But I think that we're all particularly discussed it was
33:49
Speaker 1: this because this pandemic knows no limits, that knows no bounds. Hey,
33:54
Speaker 1: guess what else they did, dictor Angie, listen to this.
33:57
Speaker 1: Guess what else they did? They The site that they
34:01
Speaker 1: built features logos and designs similar to Maderna's site, and
34:09
Speaker 1: as Christy Missouri was saying, it has a link for
34:13
Speaker 1: people to quote buy the vaccine ahead of time. And
34:16
Speaker 1: they created a fake domain site. It was moderna TX
34:21
Speaker 1: as in tax dot Shop. So you know, I've gotten
34:26
Speaker 1: on an email before. It looked just like an American
34:28
Speaker 1: Express bill, the same logo, the same callers, the same everything.
34:33
Speaker 1: It was a scam and as soon as you punch it,
34:36
Speaker 1: it's some malware. It attacks your computer or your iPad,
34:40
Speaker 1: so somehow they get all your information. But again that's
34:44
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg. You got these three guys
34:48
Speaker 1: peddling fake Maderna vaccines and getting your credit card. Take
34:52
Speaker 1: a listen to what happened in Missouri. A federal grand
34:56
Speaker 1: jury has indicted this Missouri state legislature on fraud charges.
35:00
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say Representative Tricia Dirges falsely promoted a treatment she
35:05
Speaker 1: was selling at medical clinics as containing stem cells that
35:09
Speaker 1: could treat various diseases, including COVID nineteen. The indictment also
35:13
Speaker 1: accuses the Knicks, a Republican of illeitely providing prescription drugs
35:17
Speaker 1: to clients. Her attorney says she's presumed innocent. Doctor Kendall
35:22
Speaker 1: Crown's deputy medical examder joining me out of Travis County, Austin,
35:26
Speaker 1: Texas when they say that the grand jury indicted a
35:30
Speaker 1: Missouri state legislature member on FRAU charges claiming there was
35:35
Speaker 1: a vaccine made from stem cells. How would that even work?
35:41
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure how that would work,
35:43
Speaker 1: how you would make it from stem cells at all.
35:45
Speaker 1: I mean that totally doesn't make sense because most vaccines
35:49
Speaker 1: are based off the actual virus or bacteria or whatever
35:53
Speaker 1: they're trying to prevent, not some sort of weird stem
35:56
Speaker 1: cell research, so that that in itself just seems like
36:00
Speaker 1: complete fantasy land. Yeah. See, you know that because you're
36:04
Speaker 1: a medical doctor. Doctor Angie knows that Doctor Angela Arnold
36:08
Speaker 1: because she's not only medical doctor, but she's a psychiatrist
36:11
Speaker 1: as well. But the rest of the world doesn't know that.
36:15
Speaker 1: They may think that this is some new vaccine using
36:19
Speaker 1: stem cell research and innovative techniques and actually buy it
36:24
Speaker 1: and pay for it. You were hearing Ryan Dean five
36:27
Speaker 1: on your side at k s DK reporting on that,
36:30
Speaker 1: of all people, a Missouri state legislator, what about that
36:37
Speaker 1: Joe Scott Mortgage Exactly. It's almost like if he understands
36:42
Speaker 1: I think what he's doing, if he can take you know,
36:45
Speaker 1: some you know, kind of exotic sounding medical terminology like
36:50
Speaker 1: stem cell. I mean, how much have we heard about
36:52
Speaker 1: stem cell research over the years, you know, for reparative
36:55
Speaker 1: purposes a lot of people with spinal cord injuries and
36:58
Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And then you take us and
37:00
Speaker 1: you apply it towards this virus, this horrible plague that
37:05
Speaker 1: we have upon us that's got everybody in a panic.
37:07
Speaker 1: I think, wow, this really sounds like it's loaded with
37:11
Speaker 1: solid signs let's buy into this. And again this goes
37:15
Speaker 1: back to this idea, this underpinning of fraud. And this
37:19
Speaker 1: guy is not a stupid person. He understands this, So
37:22
Speaker 1: that makes it all the more egregious, not to mention
37:24
Speaker 1: he's a public servant, a legend. Guys are talking about
37:27
Speaker 1: a Missouri state lawmaker indicted by a grand jury for
37:32
Speaker 1: selling fake stem cell COVID treatments and illegally prescribing os
37:36
Speaker 1: codone and adderall. But you keep saying he it's a woman.
37:41
Speaker 1: Do I have this right? It's state Representative Tricia Dirgess
37:46
Speaker 1: from Nixa, Missouri. Do I have that right? I mean
37:49
Speaker 1: you think she, I see all the pictures of her
37:52
Speaker 1: holding her dogs and her with a stethoscope as a doctor,
37:55
Speaker 1: looks like Florence Nightingale. Man, she does. I'm looking right
37:58
Speaker 1: at her person, Christie. She has absolutely no guilt because
38:05
Speaker 1: as recently as last week, she's trying to solicit support
38:09
Speaker 1: for some of the bills that she has. Okay, it's
38:14
Speaker 1: not just these three guys in Baltimore. Now you've got
38:18
Speaker 1: a state lawmaker trying to take advantage of COVID fear. Well, Okay,
38:24
Speaker 1: I hope you're sitting down, take a listen to our
38:27
Speaker 1: Long Time from Jim Murray Inside Edition and a surfer
38:30
Speaker 1: dude who claimed to have cooked up a COVID vaccine
38:33
Speaker 1: months before Fiser or Maderna is facing federal charges. Fifty
38:37
Speaker 1: five year old John Stein built a homemade lab in
38:40
Speaker 1: Seattle with equipment he bought on eBay. Then he injected
38:48
Speaker 1: himself and thirty others with a vaccine which FETCH call
38:51
Speaker 1: an untested, untried, and potentially unsafe substance, and charged up
38:56
Speaker 1: to one thousand dollars per injection. He denies wrong due. Okay, Christy,
39:01
Speaker 1: I'm actually a little afraid to ask it. It goes
39:04
Speaker 1: from three guys in Baltimore to a state lawmaker in Missouri.
39:09
Speaker 1: Now I've got a surfer dude and on the act.
39:11
Speaker 1: What happened well, And he not only was promoting the
39:17
Speaker 1: fact that he had COVID nineteen shots, he also has
39:22
Speaker 1: concocted some cancer vaccine, So he's far reaching on this.
39:29
Speaker 1: This is someone who's in the bottles of society. I
39:33
Speaker 1: guess they termed snake oil salesman would be appropriate for
39:36
Speaker 1: this guy. Darryl cow Oh, I love snake oil. I mean, look,
39:39
Speaker 1: but Nancy, there's another part to this. These people are scum,
39:43
Speaker 1: there's no question about it. But the public has got
39:46
Speaker 1: to pay attention to CDC. They've got to pay attention
39:49
Speaker 1: to Don't you understand. People are desperate, but they're also
39:53
Speaker 1: people are desperate for a cure. They'll do anything. And
39:57
Speaker 1: this guy's actually injecting people. He didn't just advertise it.
40:01
Speaker 1: He injected people launching his vaccine scheme in Seattle, Washington
40:06
Speaker 1: back in March, posting online four hundred to one thousand dollars,
40:11
Speaker 1: and then he stupidly offered the jabs to undercover agents
40:16
Speaker 1: sent in by the FDA. Now tell me how many
40:19
Speaker 1: people he actually jabbed. Daryl. Look, I don't say that
40:23
Speaker 1: he is a good guy. He's a terrible guy. But
40:25
Speaker 1: I also say that we as the American public, have
40:28
