  Speaker 1: The stupid guy, too stupid to be a criminal, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: yet he nearly got away with it. I've got to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: tell you about this, Okay. He's a Georgia inmate. He
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: was at Grady Hospital in Atlanta on Monday, yes yesterday,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: fifty two years old. He had been taken there for
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a medical emergency following a suicide attempt. He had been
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: picked up for several things, including a high speed chase
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: possible kidnapping attempt that happened on November twenty third, about
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: one twenty in the morning. He managed to escape, got
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: out of the prison ward at the hospital. Managed to escape.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine the person guarding him had
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: much else to do except to guard him. Managed to escape.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Didn't have his own car though, so calls an uber.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know whose phone he used to call the uber,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but he called an uber to escape. Solid plan from. Yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Solid didn't wake out, worked out for it though. During
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the chase, by the way, he reportedly drove its speeds
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: exceeding one hundred and twenty eight miles per hour. Was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: found with med rawana, methamphetamine, and of course a loaded handgun,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: which is you know, part of the set you can
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: buy those in a gift box now, Yeah. And after
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: his escape from the hospital, he allegedly stolen suv. He
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: later crashed that before fleeing on foot. Rockdale County Sheriff's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: office confirmed that he ordered an uber to a residence
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in South Rockdale, but he was not found when authorities
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: executed a search bard at that location. His criminal charges
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: include operating a vehicle without insurance. Well, yeah, that's at
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the top of the list.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: That's the cops come out with the gun.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Your shirts, methamphetamine, SMITHA and fetamine. You don't have insurance.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Bet you need a piece of the before he smoked
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that rock, including operating a vehicle with that insurance, reckless driving,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of methamphetamine.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Also facing multiple warrants in Newton County for charges such
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: as hijacking a motor vehicle and armed robbery. So this
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: guy just has done nothing right in his life.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I heard his car also had an expired sticker too.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: He might have had he had the expired sticker. That's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a death penalty conviction right there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Berdie Moreno Senator, junior senator from the state.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Of Ohio, the big burn is what.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They tell me. I don't know, because I've never met him,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: never talked to him, having never been able to get
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a response from him. And yeah, that bothers me. That
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: does bother me. But he is apparently pursuing legislation now
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that would eliminate I won't say outlaw, I will say
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: eliminate dual citizenship in the United States. So you can't
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: be an American and an Argentinian, or an American and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a Canadian. You have to be an American if you're
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: going to be an American, or you have to pick
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: your other country, in which case I'm sure it'll be go.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think this is a good idea. I don't know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I don't like it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know that it serves a purpose. Now that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: being said, I can see limiting dual citizenship options for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: people who perhaps are associated with countries known to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: supporters of terrorism or something like that. Of course, you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: know this Afghanistanian guy who pled not guilty, by the way,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for shooting the two National guardsmen.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I can see that. I just don't like the entire
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: like banning it from all countries if there's nuance and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: there's certain countries that you have to look out closer.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's the advantage to having dual citizenship?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. If you're like a Canadian, you could
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: go back and forth.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Do you have it? Are you like a an American
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and a Newfoundland or no? No, I'm not what do
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you call somebody from Newfoundland?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Canadian?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But a new Feet? I mean, because I thought they
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: were kind of like their own thing.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They kind of are. Yeah, the people on the island
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: are They want to be independent, a lot of them really,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, don't you don't want that?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: No?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: No, They're like, no, we want to be independent. I'm like, oh, no,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you don't.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: What do you call somebody from Guam? Because see, Puerto
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Rico just popped into my mind. And last week there
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was all kinds of social media stuff about somebody saying, well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: should just be for Americans. They didn't realize that Puerto
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Rico is part of America. Well, it's a it's an
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: American territory.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Guamanese?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Are they Guamanese?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: What I say?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, well that sounds good. But you know, if you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: know anyone who is Puerto Rican and you say, well,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the national I don't think I've ever
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: heard one of them say an American Puerto Rican. They say,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: very proudly, Puerto Rico. Yeah, so I I that argument's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: kind of lost on me. But anyway, I just I'm
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not sure sure what the benefits of dual citizenship would be.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could if you want to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: move back and forth via family and in two different countries.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Can't you just visit your family even if you're an American,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you can visit your Canadian relatives, and.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You get benefits from both countries.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Well, now see, now now here we go, are you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: getting some sort of social services from other countries? Are you?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But don't you also have a tax liability in both countries?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you do.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just I don't know, and I don't know
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: anybody with dual citizenship who could explain to me why
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it is beneficial. That being said, I don't know that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it should not be an option for people. And I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was just curious if anybody else is even thinking about this,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: because I I is it something that a lot of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: people even have. I mean, does anybody on your street,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in your neighborhood have dual citizenship that you know of.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Not that I know of. I mean, it'd be easier
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to travel. I mean, if you could, if you're single,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you could move. There's more job options if you're young
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I guess, but I'm thinking mainly of United
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: States and Canada if you're a dual citizen of the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: United States and well, like.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I know, in New Zealand, for example, a lot of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: people wanted to migrate to New Zealand from the United
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: States a couple of years ago, and I guess New
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Zealand is very strict, very very particular about who can
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: come in. You have to you have to be of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you know, someone with a skill, with a training something
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that they say, okay, this will benefit our country to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have you here, whether that's you know, science or whatever
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they are. They're kind of picky from what I understand
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: about who can come into the country, who can migrate
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: into their country. I don't know if other countries aren't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: necessarily like that. It seems that we are not very
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: selective at all in some cases, and when we try
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to be selective, then there's a bunch of people to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: tell us how evil we are for wanting to be selective.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But I just I'm not sure what I'm not sure
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what the benefit might be, and I'm not sure why
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this is an issue for Senator Moreno, what brought it up?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And frankly, is it a party thing? I have no idea.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Are there more Republicans who would be affected than Democrats?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Is he burning a bridge? I don't know. So if
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you have any thoughts, any knowledge of dual citizenship and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this idea that Senator Moreno is fullting A two one
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: ninety eighty six A two one TV, and I'd love
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to hear from you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Bernie Marina have dual citizenship?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he surrendered it because he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was born in Colombia. Yeah, I think he surrendered his
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Oh of course he did. Well. Yeah, you have to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: before you start something like this, wouldn't you.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't make a lot of sense. Yeah. I think
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he surrendered his Colombian citizenship. And again I don't know
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what does that mean?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Are you no longer welcoming Colombia at that point? Are
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you able to? I don't know. Maybe Sarah knows. Let's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: go to her. Sarah, you're on six NADTV and Hi.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Hi, I was telling Zach like, I don't know that
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: much about dual citizenship, but I was watching a program
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: on Elon Musk today and his mother was Canadian, dad
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: South African, And when he was seventeen, he was supposed
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: to go fight in the South African whatever the apartheid thing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Him being white especially, he was supposed to, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: go quell the uprising, but he instead dodged it and
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: went to Canada because of his dual citizenship. So because
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: of that, we got you know, Elon Musk, and everything
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: worked in his.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Advantage because he could he could claim that he's more
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Canadian in the middle of this war than he is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: South African, so he's going to Canada.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Well, it just gave him an out like other people
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: would try to, you know, like you know, back in then,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: like Vietnam, they would just have to like sneak over
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: the border. Because he already had dual citizenship, he was
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: able to just get on a plane and go, huh.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: And like, he didn't have a lot of money and stuff,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: and he worked a lot of odd job doing all
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: sorts of weird stuff to earn money. But you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: he finally got himself in college and all that stuff.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: But yeah, for him to escape flattering his people back there.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, now he's an American, but before he wasn't.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying, I've.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Never heard that, Sarah. I appreciate the info. Thank you,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: six my number. Corey, you're on six ten double the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: ETV N.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: How're we going?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Okay? Are you doing great?
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: So I don't have dual citizenship myself. I did have.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: My father did have dual citizenship for a small amount
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: of time and it was in Canada, and part of
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: that was just being a landowner. So there was very
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: strict restriction on a foreigner owning land for hunting purposes. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: and what he read once he gained the citizenship and
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: kim most of those restricts and just want to win.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: And so one of the benefits that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That could be a big deal to a lot of people.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I know in South America there's a lot of countries
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: have very strict rules on who can buy because people
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: go down there on vacation and think, hey, I'm gonna
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: buy some land down here and build a retirement home
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and find out, yeah, you're an American. You can't own
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: land here. Ray you are on sixth n W TV
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and high.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Hey, Chuck, really, I didn't have much to say. It
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: was just not if I wanted to talk to Dak
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: for a second. He's gotta teach you something a little
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: bit about the Doors.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Like that song by the Doors he was playing stinks.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: The Doors you just gotta get. Just like Zach said,
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: you just got to kind of give it a chance. Anyway.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't just like the Doors in general. I just
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: don't like that song. That song reminded me of David
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Bowie and Bing Crosby and that hideous drummer boy thing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I know what you mean, because it's not a really
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: played song that much. It's different. And you got to
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: have a little place in your heart for the Doors
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: in the first place, just because, just because anyway, Chuck,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: one of these days, I'm gonna hook up with you,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: because you and Zach are the one two punch, so
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: I could say, And there's not a lot of one
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: two punches we got left. Corby had the morning show
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: with with that guy. I wouldn't know his name, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: and if they ever break you tow up, I'm gonna
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: like all I'm like you. It's like you you like
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: the radio as much as I do. You'd rather get
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: your information old school. And every time I hear you,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: it's like, there I am this guy one of these days.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Ray Bless your heart. Man, you just put a big
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: smile on my face. Thank you so much. I appreciate
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: what you said, and I thank you. I do appreciate that. Mike.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get you in here real quick before we have
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to say Tata.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And Douglas.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: How are you to say me, find sir? What's on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: your mind?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I was calling reference to the dual citizenship and what
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: the benefits of that may be. So it's interesting that
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you mentioned New Zealand. Also, so my mother was born
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: in the UK and my aunt actually lives in New Zealand.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: My mother became a US citizen in nineteen seventy six,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: but also maintained dual citizenship with the United Kingdom. That
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: gives her the benefit of having both a US passport
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: and the UK passport, And she travels a lot, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: depending on where she's going, that makes the determination of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: which passport she uses. Because some countries aren't as friendly
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: to American citizens as they are to UK citizens
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: That might that could be the big one right there,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: friendliness when you travel,
