ere's an alarming number of bottlenose dolphins that are showing up with traces of fentanyl in their systems and they said that more than a third of the dolphins tested were positive for drugs. Now of course the story is that they think maybe the fentanyl is getting into the waste system and then gets into the ocean then the bottlenose dolphins get into it. But I've got a different theory. The rea…

e judge said well if you can't agree on this we'll basically dismiss it. Now go back think about the lower charge. I guess that'll happen on Monday.

So here's what the people who know way more than I do about the law and the courts are telling me. So I'm listening to people like Mike Cernovich and people have legal backgrounds and Jonathan Turley is writing about it. So let me just tell you what Jonathan Turley says because having me interpret legal stuff is a bad idea. So it's better to hear from people who know what they're talking about. So Turley says so now the judge has dismissed the first count on second degree manslaughter and is allowing the jury to consider the second count after the weekend. This is precisely what Bragg was hoping for in setting up a possible compromise verdict.

Now what you need to know about that phrase a compromise verdict if I understand it correctly is that the judge is trying to get people on the jury to think not so much about guilty or innocent but rather how they can be done with this process. And the way they can be done with the process is to be unanimous about something and if they're closer to being unanimous on guilty then he's going to say go back in on the lower charge and you don't get to go home you know until I say so. So you could imagine that the indirect pressure on the jurors would be to first of all do what the other jurors want them to do, conform so they can go home, and it would kind of bias you toward well you know if we were nice enough to let them off on the top charge but we don't want to be so nice that we let them completely free because then we have to live in the world and answer to all of our neighbors and we can't. So wouldn't it be better for the jury to find him guilty on a lesser charge but still goes to jail but is not as bad as the top one? So that's a terrible situation to put the jury in. You're really causing the jury to think about themselves instead of the facts of the case. That's how I understand the compromise situation.

So if that's the case I think the whole thing should be thrown out. I mean I think the judge probably should go to jail don't you? I don't think that's a thing. I mean I don't think that for this behavior anybody ever goes to jail. But if I look at what crimes were committed and I look at the videos of Daniel Penny I say to myself huh I do not see Daniel Penny intending to do anything wrong or doing anything wrong. There's no intention and I didn't see anything wrong. There's a tragedy but I didn't see him act wrong. But what about the judge? The judge is signaling an intention to be wrong meaning creating a situation that no judge should create. It's got to be intentional and pushing them toward the wrong decision to find what I think is an innocent man guilty and sending him to jail so that the jurors themselves can have a nicer week. That is evil on a level that's almost hard to comprehend. It's just such a casual evil that this would be a judge who just wakes up and goes to work and says some stuff in the context of his job. So it's not like you know the gas chamber or something where the visual of it and the thought of it is overwhelmingly horrible but this is pretty overwhelmingly horrible. The fact that you can casually just go up and go to your job and send some innocent guy to jail intentionally and then the next day you just wake up and go to your job again.

Now this judge if we lived in a world that was fair according to me because I get to decide what's fair it's my live stream I think the judge probably should be in jail already and I think Bragg and anybody involved in this because as Turley tells us he says the prosecutors hope to pressure the jury into voting on the low standard of criminal negligence. So that's essentially what I'm saying. And then Turley says outside of New York or a few other cities this case would likely either have not been brought or would have collapsed quickly before the jury. Now Turley knows more than I do about the legal stuff obviously and he says this wouldn't even be charged in most places in America. No I believe that's true.

So I would say that if New York is going to play with a set of rules that's so different from what you and I think is realistic we should definitely not do business with New York. I wouldn't take my business there. I wouldn't travel there. I would just stay away from that. Just stay away from New York. So I think if Penny goes down because of this and it's not corrected immediately in some way I think we have to take the whole state down because New York State, the citizens which includes some of my family members so sorry about that who might be listening at the moment, I think the state has to pay. I think there's got to be a price and it's got to be a lot and I think if the GDP of New York State went down 20 percent the next year that might be about right. I mean it should be really expensive because if this is the lowest level of social and American behavior you could ever even imagine this is so bad.

And there's another theme for today's show and I'm going to say this as carefully as possible. I never am in favor of violence of course and I would never promote it or endorse it or you know glamorize it but it's certainly getting harder every day. Every time I read the news I think huh I wonder if there's somebody who's going to become violent over this because it certainly looks like it's inviting it but I don't favor that so don't do that. But you can't not think about it because there's just so many ways that the news is so horrible you think.

Speaking of which let's talk about the healthcare hitman. Now I was watching Jesse Watters show yesterday and apparently they've already given the hitman a nickname the healthcare hitman. I think CNN had a different branding for it. I may have this wrong but it might have been the CEO killer or something. So the news is trying to brand it like they always do so that they've got an ongoing story because they love the ongoing stories especially the criminal ones.

So the first thing you need to know is that let me this is going to be hard because I need to say this as delicately as possible to keep myself out of trouble. Do you think that if this had not been a healthcare executive and a white guy do you think that they would have called him the healthcare hitman, the person who did the murder? Because it's almost like you're giving him a clever little nickname. I don't know it makes me wonder if we're having too much fun with the story and we wouldn't do it if it were George Floyd right? If George Floyd got murdered we wouldn't be giving a clever nickname to Derek Chauvin right? Chauvin never got like a clever nickname. It's almost as if this is revealing that there's sort of an undercurrent in America where people are not so sad about this right? And I'm not saying that's good so don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that in a number of ways I'm getting this subtle suggestion that people don't feel bad about this crime partly because it's a white man. Let's be honest it was a wealthy white guy and the country just doesn't have the same kind of empathy for wealthy older white guys. We just don't. And so that's part of it but there's also lots of mystery to it.

And the alleged shooter if you believe at least one of the photos which I don't believe by the way wou

ld be a really handsome young guy. So now you've got this you know apparently a very smart killer who's got his own clever nickname the healthcare hitman and the one picture of him that they're trying to sell us on which I don't believe by the way he's really good looking like really good looking like movie star good looking. I don't know there there's something terribly wrong about how movie perf…
