It’s his life mission to make bad decisions. It’s time for Florida Man.
SPEAKER 01 :
All right, so first up here, this is not how, you can’t just do something like this. A man tried cashing a million dollar check at a Florida bank. Would you be surprised if I told you that it did not end well? What? I know. He surprisingly has a history of fraudulent transactions. And he went big at a Florida bank. He tried cashing a fake check for a million dollars, according to investigators. Didn’t work. 38-year-old Miami man identified as Mark Anthony Taylor Jr. Why do you have so many names? First names. Presented the check written under an assumed name at a bank in Martin County. The sheriff’s office reported it in a news release. They said it was drawn off JPMorgan Chase and made payable to a building company that he had established with an LLC. The teller alerted police and management police and He apparently has been running scams like this all across Florida. Yeah, you know what? If you walk in with a million-dollar check and try to cash it, guess what? They’re going to get you, especially if it’s fake. I mean, if it’s fake, they’re going to get you. Come on. This man, Bonita Springs, Florida man was arrested. He was drunk as a skunk driving 117 miles per hour. He was at 1.45 a.m. Police say they saw a Lexus zoom by 117 miles per hour. They pulled the car over. 34-year-old Pritchard Mehir of Cape Coral. And when they were talking with him, they realized, oh, my gosh, he’s slurring his speech. He smells like a liquor cabinet. And, yeah, he showed clear signs of super intoxication. They didn’t say what his blood alcohol content was, but he was arrested, and he’s got a number of charges on him. Let’s see. This Florida man was accused of shooting at his neighbors over loud music, disturbing his nap. Charles Guzman, Florida man, is accused of shooting at his neighbors because they were playing super loud music. It was during the daytime. That’s not I mean, did he ever do you think that he ever tried like talking to them? And if that didn’t work, did he maybe, I don’t know, file a noise complaint before that? That seems like like. the lastest of last resorts and that’s only then if they’re trying to get you i i don’t know what it’s not the way to handle this at all not the way it’s tough to get noise complaints in the middle of the day yeah it’s really hard and a florida jester is headed to court on a felony assault charge a costume man pulled a dagger over a noisy lawn mowing lawn mowing smoking gun has this He literally apparently works as a jester, and then he, a landscaper, was mowing two separate lawns, and he was confronted by Anthony Marzola, 51, who lives nearby. He retrieved a 12-inch dagger from a vehicle and began walking towards him. Guess what? He was taken to jail. Can’t do that. He bonded out at 15 grand.

SPEAKER 01 :
I got to play this audio soundbite. Let me give you some backstory on this. This is cut 17. So back in the day, let me just set this up. Uh, and I wrote about this in one of my books. In fact, my, uh, late friend, uh, dear friend and late boss, Andrew Breitbart wrote about this in one of his books. It was one night I was actually getting ready to go on vacation. I was going to, we’re actually going to go to Puerto Rico. We were going to San Juan. And, um, I was packing and I was finishing editing a piece because I was the editor at the time of the standalone big journalism. And I got a very interesting direct message. And I didn’t really know what I was looking at because it was covered by cloth. That’s so weird. And someone said, you know, you need to write about this immediately. And it it was a. It claimed it. I’m trying to figure out how to say this. The person said at first that it was just Anthony Wieners. And I was like, what? And I’m like, well, this sounds like it might be a story, but I don’t know what I’m looking at. And I sent it to Andrew. And Andrew immediately texts Caps Lock. Oh, my gosh. What is, oh, my gosh. And I was like, you might want to check your messages because I feel like they’re going to be sending this to all the Breitbart editors. I’m like, I don’t know what’s up. And he’s like, do you know what this is? I’m like, I literally don’t know what it is. And he’s like, you sweet summer child. He’s like, oh, my gosh. And he’s like, he goes, you need to ask your husband what this is. And I’m like, what? And I genuinely didn’t know because if you saw the original photo, it was just some gray cloth, right? It looked like there was something beneath the cloth. So I called my husband up into my office and I was like, Chris, I need you to come in here because I’m supposed to ask you what this is. And he took one look at it. Kenny took one look at it and he goes, oh, well, that’s it. That’s what he said. He goes, that’s exactly what he said. And I was like, and he goes, whose is it? I’m like, I think it’s Anthony Wiener’s. And he’s like a guy with the, I was like, yeah, the guy with the last name Wiener was sending out Wiener shots. Yes, that’s correct. So Andrew was like, we’ve got to get on a, we got to immediately have a conference call. It was like 11 o’clock at this point. So we’re all on a conference call. And Andrew would do this thing. Where sometimes he would partially dictate a story and I would take it down and then I would flush it out or add to it or whatever it needed. So he’s on this conference call and I didn’t know what was supposed to be a part of the story and what was him just exclaiming, oh my gosh, I can’t even believe this. It’s a deep pick. This is crazy. Wrote the story, published it the next morning. I couldn’t cancel my vacation because it was our first. Our kids were still relatively young. And it was all over everywhere. The story was going everywhere. It was insane. And I’m in Puerto Rico. And I wrote the story. It had my byline on it. It was up at Breitbart on the big journalism before they all moved it all together. This was back, what, 2010, 2011? Maybe 2011. I can’t remember. I think it was 2011. Yeah. And I’m like in another country being accused of hacking Anthony Weiner’s ex-account. Well, at the time, Twitter account. For which he never apologized, by the way. He accused me. He accused Andrew. He said a whole bunch of things about the site, etc. And that wasn’t the only shot that he sent out. And then as it came out, he was sending, you know, schlong shots to a ton of women, including women who were under the age of 18. And then he was taken to court because, you know, you get charged for that. And he went to jail for it. He went to jail. So he’s been trying to, well, let me, before I get ahead of myself, then he was released. And then he did the same damn thing again. And his wife divorced him and she married George Soros’ son, Alex. She remarried. So he’s still trying to stage this comeback. Anthony Weiner, the guy who not once but twice was sending out. And the last one was so sketchy because his baby was sleeping next to him. And he’s literally taking photos of his crank and like sending it to chicks. It’s so disgusting. And I don’t know what he he is not hotness. OK, he is not hotness. He is like natural birth control. You look at him and you’re like, I’m good. Abstinent for life. You know, I mean, he’s like one of those. You don’t even need to get a prescription. Just look at his foot. Let’s look at him. Doesn’t matter which part. Look. So. Audio somebody 17. This is why I will, he’s never, he has never been repentant. None of this is his fault. He first lied and said we planted the photos in his, you know, at first he said he was hacked. Then he said that we somehow planted the photos, which meant we would have had to break into his home, his dwelling or whatever, and take his phone from him and do it ourselves, which is stupid. Listen to this because he’s still, he’s still trying to make a comeback, but no remorse. Listen.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s ridiculous for me to get charged with a crime and to do prison sentence for the things that I did. You think that? Well, no one generally gets prosecuted. No one in the Southern District’s ever been sentenced for obscenity, for transferring obscene material.
SPEAKER 01 :
He was sending sexually explicit photographs of himself to women for years, and he just ended up getting caught. And we ran it first. Although I don’t think that we all got the credit that we deserve for having to deal with that nastiness first. Because it ran on our stuff first. And he had to, and then he tried to hide it. Then he came out and acknowledged that, yes, it was him. And then that’s when it came out. He had used this alias called Carlos Danger. Even after that, he kept sending schlong shots to people. as Carlos Danger. Can’t even make this up. And he had even said at his press conference that he had in 2013, he had even said that because he was running for another campaign, he was running another campaign, he had to resign from Congress, all this stuff. And he said that he told his wife, I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out. Dude, he had been doing this for years, years and years and years and years. He was running for mayor. He lost the primary. And then he had sexted a 15 year old Centura explicit sexual image. She’s 15 and he gets in trouble. He doesn’t think that he should. And he had to register as a sex offender. He actually what you heard him say is that he didn’t believe that he should be in trouble for sexting a 15 year old. He is a predator. That’s like pedo. That’s pedo behavior. He had to go to a halfway house when he was released from prison in 2019. And then he’s still a registered sex offender. And he thinks that he’s going to try to stage a comeback. You remember this whole thing, Kane? Carlos Danger. Oh, my gosh. We had some fun with that. But he wants to. OK, so here’s the question. Are Democrats that desperate? First off, do they need that baggage? I’m going to tell you all something. The dirt on Gavin Newsom hasn’t even begun to see the light of day. I mean, there is a lot of a long time whispered stuff. And from what I understand, it’s all true. A lot of stuff about this dude. A lot of… There’s… In fact… There are a lot of whispers about a lot of stuff. I hear stuff about Byron Donald’s on Florida. I hear all kinds of whispers about that. I hear all kinds of stuff about Gavin Newsom. People are keeping their powder dry. I think the last thing that anybody wants, particularly the Democrats, is for Carlos Danger to get into the race. Do they really need that? Do they really need that on top of everything else?

Listen as students and young adults interview well-respected CEOs on our national radio show, realworldleaders.org, to learn secrets for success and how to use them to propel their careers.
SPEAKER 04 :
I learned about media marketing because I’ve never heard of it before. So I learned something new. Todd also mentioned how he didn’t start this career until later on in life, which I feel is really interesting because a lot of people think you need to start a career right away, but that’s not always the case. All right, Emily, where does attention to detail show up the most in your life? I think social interactions. When I’m in a social environment, I pay attention to the way people, like their tone or their movements or what’s going on, like the scenery. I also hear an intuitive nature, an ability to read.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss. It’s time for Dana’s Quick Five.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, boy. The bougiest thing that you’ve ever heard of offering something that you didn’t really think you needed. A British restaurant. It’s a French restaurant in Cheshire. Michelin. They’re talking about this area in Britain where it’s a… I’m trying to say the name of this place. La Popote? Popote? Popote? P-O-P-O-T-E. It’s a French-style restaurant in Northern England. So a lot of restaurants will have their wine lists. They have water. They’re offering a water menu. Oh my gosh. So they said that they’re tapping into a global trend away from alcohol. And so they have different waters. Cane. Never going there. Never going there. Ever in my life. Baltimore Harbor ship explosion containing the site of Key Bridge. No injuries reported. That was WBAL. Damage beyond repair. A woman is accused of pouring salt in her ex-boyfriend’s car engine and throwing glitter in the A.C. Oh, boy. I’ve heard of sugar in the gas tank, but never salt in the engine. She’s from Kentucky. She had taken that Carrie Underwood song, literally, Kane. She’s accused of pouring salt in her ex’s car engine and putting glitter up in the A.C. Richmond Police Department says Stephanie Carlquist. totaled her ex-boyfriend’s car after the couple got in an argument in early July. The complaint says Carl Quist poured salt in the engine, glitter in the AC, slashed the tire, dunked a windshield, cracked that rearview mirror, and shattered the car’s radio screen. I mean, she went crazy. And she’s smiling and laughing in the mugshot. Of course she is. Damages over almost $13,000. So she’s in lots of trouble. Don’t be crazy. You know, that’s it, ladies. Just don’t be crazy. And 40,000 pounds of ribeye steaks destroyed in a tractor trailer fire on I-44. Oh my gosh, my heart. Oh, it’s hurting me. And then that brings us. to the story of Loudoun County, which we talked about a little bit yesterday. And if you’re unfamiliar with this story, it’s quite a doozy. And this isn’t a college story. This is a story about high schoolers, about minors. And this is all getting into very confusing legal territory, I think. So you have this story of these boys, Loudoun County, And they were in the locker room and there was they go in the locker room and there’s video of this and there is a girl in there who immediately chooses to be antagonistic. She’s already filming. She wants to pretend to be a boy and she is insisting upon using the boys locker room. And so when she was in there, she was recording the video, which, by the way, is not only a it’s a violation of district policy. And in some areas, that’s actually a violation of local or municipal laws. She’s she violated policy immediately. She’s antagonistic. She was looking for a fight. She she starts recording. And all of these boys did was say, why is there a girl in the boys locker room? Like they they were the ones who were being harassed. So she goes in. She instigates this. She she immediately trespasses into the boys locker room. She sexually harasses. This minor girl is a predator and her parents are predators. She goes in and starts sexually harassing these boys by filming them in the locker room. And they’re like, why is a girl in the boys locker room? Well, then she decides because she’s trying to instigate a fight. I think her parents probably put her up to it. I mean, this is so really ridiculously over the top that they decided to bring a Title IX suit against the boys in the school. And so now as a result, they are suspending the boys. I mean, this is unbelievable. They’re suspending the boys. It’s going to be on their record. I mean, this is going to be on their public record. And they were all they were was uncomfortable with the fact that there was a girl in the boys locker room and they vocalize that, which is their right to do so. But apparently they’re not allowed to have free speech because if a trans person is made to be aware that they are making the other actual male or actual female uncomfortable in their own actual male or female designated space, then that person is the bigot, which is insane to me. And the boys are going to be juniors in high school. And so now this is on their record. They are suspending the boys. It’s going to be on their permanent record. It’s going to impact their college applications because when their applications are reviewed, that’s all going to be up there in public. They’re all going to see it. They are turning these boys into predators because they were preyed upon. that’s insane. I think I would have countersued. I don’t know what, you know, they’re, they’re planning to do, but this is, I can’t even, this is crazy. This, they were, you, they were, they were like, she was trying to instigate a fight, trying to instigate a fight. Now there’s schools, which, you know, Loudoun County brings a lot of this on themselves. Um, They’re vowing to maintain their gender policy, allowing students who want to pretend, you know, whatever, that they’re going to be… They can use whatever locker room or bathroom, et cetera, that they want. In the meantime, though, I feel so bad for these boys because they are… I mean, they’re suspended, and it’s going to affect them forever. It’s going to be a legal fight just to clear their name. Do you know what that does to a teenage boy? That’s… What that does to them to have to be cast, you know, castigated as a predator when you’re not. They were suspended for 10 days right at the start of school, too. They found them the Loudoun County Public Schools. They said, though, they’re guilty of sexual harassment and sex based discrimination. The third boy. The title nine and the third boy that was in there, they dropped that to him. They dropped the accusation against him. And this comes by way of, I think this is red state. Loudoun County Public Schools dropped the charge against the student. He’s a Muslim student. The other two are Christians. Do you think that factored into that being dropped against him? I mean, definitely some reporters think so. The boys who are Christians had their charges enhanced. They didn’t do anything differently other than just say that there’s a girl in the boys locker room. But not only did the Loudoun County Public School District refuse to dismiss those sexual harassment charges, then they enhanced it with the sex-based discrimination charge. But the third boy, who was a Muslim, had everything dropped against him. The only difference between them is the faith. That’s it. You want to talk about targeting and anti-Christian discrimination? There you go right there. Anti-male, anti-Christian discrimination? That’s it right there. That’s insane. And they said that they’re fighting the Loudoun County Public School District. They announced that they are joining with other school districts to push back in the northern Virginia area against the Trump policy about the bathrooms and girls and boys spaces. So this is this is wild. I am. were punishing boys for simply verbalizing something with which they were uncomfortable. Christian boys, the Muslim student had all the charges dropped against him. And I just, and this, I mean, this, and this incident occurred last year, but now they’re litigating it. They’re fighting over it now. And it’s affecting whether or not the boys are going to go back to school this year. This girl is a predator. Man, if I was the parent, I would bankrupt that family in lawfare. Holy hell. Oh, my gosh. And they could… Oh, man. I don’t even want… Oh, I shouldn’t. It’s so mean. But I would be very… I would not… I would have… I would struggle to not be mean-spirited about it as a precedent because they’re predators. This girl is a predator. What kind of girl goes in a boys’ locker room like that and starts filming? In the 90s, we would say it would be… Woman of ill repute. We’d say a skank is going in there doing that. What kind of girl goes into the boys locker room and starts recording? And then after she invades their space, she’s the victim and they’re not. By the way, this is how this is how you get guys to not like women or to look at all of them as like feminist predators is this kind of stuff here. And her parents, shame on her parents. If I had a daughter who went to the boys locker room and started recording, I would beat her ass. And she would be apologizing to all the students that she made uncomfortable. And I would tell her, you need to drop your delusions right now and get right. But instead, the parents, they feed into this mental disorder. They feed into this self-glorification, this sense of entitlement. And they are victimizing the other boys in this. The school is victimizing. They’re not dropping the charges against the two of the boys because they’re Christian. The Muslim student, well, you know, he gets off scot-free. I don’t know if they’re worried that his parents are going to chop off their heads or what. I mean, I think at this point it’s fair to ask that question because this is such an egregiously stupid difference in treatment with these students. I can’t even imagine. And don’t forget, this is the same school district where you had a male student in 2021 who decided to wake up one day and pretend that he was a girl. He sexually, brutally sexually assaulted a female student in the bathroom. And that was at Stonebridge High School. Then they transferred him to Broad Run High School. And then he sexually assaulted another female student just a couple of months later. And the school was keeping it from the parents. Can you imagine if your daughter was raped and the school was keeping it from you? You imagine that?
