Democrat's Political Future, Hasan Piker's a Liberal Party Pooper, & the Lightning Round

I have a feeling that our friend, Tony and Montreal, the King of Canada, we refer to him as, the King of Canada is going to be very upset today because we have leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. How blessed are we? I mean, you're looking at the next president of the United States, and I'm sure my friend Tony up there in Canada is, you know, kicking himself that he doesn't get this kind of leadership. What's up, Tony? How are you? Are you doing, Chris? Incredible how this self-adulation and self-victimization strategy seems to work on the people that have... limited cortex to be very polite. I won't say other than that. But I just said to Mason, I said, hey, it's about 100 degrees up here in Canada right now, 100 degrees humidity. I'm up in trees cutting in the forest. I was a professional at one time. As I said, I went to school for a long time and practiced law and really got tired of that, to be honest with you, Chris. My family's been in construction since I believe it was 18. 80 when my great-grandfather came here banging spikes on the Canadian railroad that joined Canada east to west under the McDonald plan. He said that if we want to fight the Americans, we better have a railroad east to west or they're going to come up north-south and eat us up. Well, the Italians put in the labor, and the great-great grandson of that man is sitting in the trees, cutting trees in 90-degree. You know how happy I am out to be here? to be working and to be bringing home money and to be able to give money to my family and to be useful to society and be happy with Frank who hired me at this place. You know, and I got out of 46 months of chemo. I never said this to you on the air. But four years ago, they told me in 2020, during COVID, they said I had a very bad form of cancer, both in the intestine and in the bladder. And they said, you've got to go through 46 months of BCG treatments. And you know, Chris, I vowed to get through that for two reasons. I said, God help me. Please help me. It's important that I see my kids. And I want to go back and be a human being. I'll do anything. Well, I deferred all these doctors telling me to go on Oxycontinent for pain. I'm no hero, man. I just want to live. I want to be happy. I want to live and work. Get in the heat. Talk to my buddies. And when I listen to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you are smitten with stupidity, Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whoever you are. If you want to be the most powerful person on the planet, God help the world because we will be in jeopardy from day one. You are one of the most ignorant people I've ever seen. But the crazy part is, is like, she would actually have a shot. I could see a lot of the Democrats.

getting behind her. Like, because she used to be one of the more radical ones. But since the left has moved so far the left, she seems more reasonable and moderate compared to some of these lunatics. Well, Chris, I'll tell you the point that you're making on the radio today about the Republicans not doing their jobs, dragging their feet on the Save Act. I'll have a message to all the Tennessee people up here in Canada. You want to vote? You got to show up. What a card. It's called an election card. And on that card, it says your name, where you live, and you get it 30 days before the election. And when you get to the polling station, you've got to produce a passport saying you're Canadian or a driver's license from Montreal or Quebec. Whoa. Or you've got to bring a bill from a utilities company with your name on it and your address. Then they vet you. When you walk in, they vet you. They cross your name out. And then you go to the polling station inside. You don't even get into the polling. Then they bring you in. And then there's three lawyers from three major parties sitting there just in case there's a beef. And I used to do that job in the provincial elections, which are the state elections. So I don't know what's wrong with ID. I don't understand the Republicans being afraid that somehow you're going to lose votes or the Democrats. Unless you want to cheat. Unless you want to cheat. Exactly. Okay? Because here in Canada, a federal election starts in Halifax and Nova Scotia. And by that time, that time frame, that time zone changes to central time in Toronto and Winnipeg. The election is already called. We already know the winner on that day. Not 14 days later, not six months later, not 700,000 votes coming in at midnight postmarked, all this garbage, nonsense. You wake up, the United States. You're supposed to be the top of the world. God damn it. It's unbelievable. Listen to this horse patouy stuff. Like, you guys are ruining yourself. I'm with you. I'm with you, Tony, and I appreciate the call, and my heart goes out to you. I didn't realize Canada. was dealing with that level of fascism, you know, it's awful. IDs to vote. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Yeah, they do want to cheat. I mean, that's really what it comes down to. Everybody knows it. You know it. I know it. And I think they would cheat their way into an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidency if they could make it happen. And it does look like she's running for president. She was asked over the weekend what she's thinking about. Is it a 2028 presidential campaign? Is it a Senate campaign? A lot of people have talked. before the president's stuff, that maybe she would be eyeballing Chuck Schumer's Senate seat. You know, old Chuckie, he doesn't fit with the new Democrat party. He happens to be too old and too white for the new Democrats. So obviously, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she's neither of those things. So she would be a great replacement, plus she's female. But now maybe she set her sights a little bit higher.

I mean, I'm focused on winning the midterms. I'm running for Congress right now. But, I mean, do you see this as something, I know you said you're open to it? Is it a realistic possibility for you? I haven't, well, I haven't ruled out the possibility, and I'm very humbled to the tremendous amount of support out there. I think that we have a responsibility to remain focused on the midterms and not on our individual. aspirations or plans. Stunning and brave. For Senate against Chuck Schumer, is that also something that's possible? I mean, I think that anything is possible at this juncture. Anything's possible! It's like Kevin Garnett and the Celtics won the championship in 2008. Maybe you get the reference. Maybe you don't. Anything's possible. Listen, she is a rabid leftist lunatic. She's perfect for the Democrat Party. Actually, she fits right in. And they'll be able to position her as the more reasonable moderate type a la Abigail Spanberger. But it's important to point out that everything these radical leftists believe in, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes in it herself. Abolishing borders, defunding the police, getting rid of prisons, the pathway to amnesty. for the millions upon millions of illegal aliens that we have in this country. The D.C. and Puerto Rico is states. So we get four Democrat senators. The packing of the Supreme Court, getting rid of the electoral college, on and on and on and on. This is what they believe in. And she is a card-carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America. Now, people will say, no, she's not. No, no, she legitimately is. This is her in her own words. By the way, just a quick... definitional thing what in your mind is the difference between socialism and communism i think to me the fundamental differences uh i mean there's there's many one prevailing one is democracy and i believe that uh democratic socialists are fundamentally pro democracy and we believe in the ballot box we believe in in respecting the the outcomes of elections and governing democratically. Not fans of voter ID, though. And ensuring that the ideas and policies that are implemented are won through popular vote and popular opinion. And so I think that's why so much of what we focus on is also making sure that we are providing for the majority of Americans, guaranteeing health care, raising wages, strengthening the right to a union. And I think that that's at its core what we're about. Are you still a member of Democratic Socialist of America? Of the New York City chapter. The New York City chapter, not the national. No. Of the New York City chapter, yes, yes. We believe in the popular vote. Hey, fun fact, Donald Trump won the popular vote. So should you get behind the orange man? No. No, weird. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ecstatic. about the socialist takeover of America. She wants to be one of the leaders of the socialist takeover of America. And she said as much over the weekend with Jonathan Carl on ABC, talking about how these young, inspiring, exciting wins are really shaping the future of the Democrat Party. What does...

Abdel-El Syed's victory in Michigan say about the future of the Democratic Party. I think that we are in a time of renewal for the Democratic Party, and it's tremendously exciting for all of us, for the big tent of the Democratic Party. We have really an ascendance of a young, inspiring, exciting electorate. This is the story of the one. The one who keeps multiple buildings running smoothly day after day.

It's listening live as it happened, when it happened, with the instant reaction. You're home for talking sports. We go back, the Great Toll Show, Westwood One Sports Network, and there will be on demand on your radio. Anywhere in the country, I'll see you there. Westwood One Sports Talk, your home for Drake C. Toll. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. energyizing wave of candidates that I think really inject a new energy to the Democratic Party and add to the toolbox of candidates that we have to win the midterm elections hopefully in November. It's a lot of tools in the box for sure. It's exciting. It's energetic. It's a big tent party. We are even so big tent that people that hate America are allowed in the tent. That's how big tent they are now in the new Democrat Party. In fact, on the Abdul Rahman Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed front, he's been campaigning with Hasan Piker. And if you're not aware of Hasan Piker, he is a radical leftist streamer. He is called for seeing the blood of capitalists in the street. He's a lunatic. He's an absolute lunatic. He actually said that America deserved 9-11. This is who Hasan Piker is. This is the people that fit under the new big tent of the Democrat Party. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pretty much fine with him being there. Another person who's been made an issue is Hasan Piker, who obviously endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. You've been on his live stream, you know, at least a few times. He's somebody who said, you know, that America deserve 9-11. Now he backed off from that. Yes, yes. He's apologized. But he said a lot of, he said a lot of controversial things. Is he somebody that should have a role in the progressive movement going through? forward you know i love how even jonathan carl kind of like hedges he moved off of that he's he he did move off of that yes yes he he totally apologized does that have a space in the new democrat party i think

When we look at our elections that have happened, we have lost young people. Much hay was made about the fact that we lost young men in the last election. Yeah, Tim Walz was supposed to bring those guys in. And many of the same consultants that are wringing their hands today were the same ones talking about how we need to go on Joe Rogan and we need to be not so, you know, willing to engage in cancel culture. As she's going through this word salad, do you hear Jonathan Carl in the background? He's like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, right, mm-hmm, right. The mainstream media is literally the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party, and you can hear it in this answer as he's just nodding along. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We can't engage in cancel culture. And... I think that the flip-flopping on this is a tactical debate that they may be having. I think the fact of the matter is is that Democrats can go on Joe Rogan, Democrats can go on Fox News, Democrats have a responsibility to build a winning coalition, and young people are engaging in mediums and conversations that... we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to. And even right now, when we look at this insurgent wave of what is happening, oftentimes when people are doing that Monday morning quarterbacking and what demographics voted where, the big one that's being ignored is the generational tidal wave. It's not. You see it in the polling. It is significant. And millennials are not. You know, punk kids anymore. Yeah. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids. Oh, she'll have kids soon. She froze her eggs. Stunning. Stunning and brave. She says a lot of words there and she doesn't answer the question. Well, we're not going to engage in cancel culture, even with people that, you know, hate everything about America. You know, let's have capitalist blood turn the streets red. America deserved 9-11. It's a big tent party. We're not going to cancel anybody. Okay. Okay. That's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That's the future frontrunner for the Democrats in 28. Right? I guess it's going to be her, isn't it? She's like slimy Gavin Newsom without as much baggage. There's some baggage. Don't get me wrong. Not as much. They're going to prop her up. They are absolutely going to prop her up as best they can. You can listen to all the apps, the FM doll. You can find us on YouTube and Rumble. I mentioned earlier. My wife, she wants to start doing country theme nights for food. So, like, we're going to have, you know, Italy night or Ireland night, right? And I said, if we don't get the likes and subscribes up, we're just going to be stuck on North Korea night.

Hit like and subscribe. Appreciate you. The kids started crying. And I was like, deal with it. This is out of my hands. I'm hungry, too. I do have a question. Yeah. Will you eat the dogs and eat the cats? No. We're saving that for Haiti night. Okay. Saving that one. Just wanted to make sure. Keep it on theme. We got to save some of the things, you know. We can't do it all at once. We're going to start slow, you know. We'll have France night. We'll have some croissants, you know. What about snails? Maybe. I've done it before. If it gets down to it, yeah. You can find them. They're free. They're free. They're free. We'll eat American snails in my host. American snails. All right, so Hasan Piker. He's the radical leftist that has been campaigning with Abdul El-Sayed and more. Elon Musk amplifying Hasan Piker' comments that said, we're going to destroy the white race. It's a big tent in the Democrat Party. Of course, Hassan's allowed in. Ilhan Omar, you know, one of the other things that Hasan Piker said was that America deserved 9-11. Ilhan Omar is out there defending Hasan Piker over the weekend because, you know, as you know, Ilhan Omar said that 9-11 was some people doing some things. So, of course, she's going to have a favorable view of Hasan Piker. One powerful voice that has been a big topic of conversation is the left-wing streamer, Hasan Piker. He's someone that you've campaigned alongside with. He put out a video backing your reelection today. There are moderate Democrats who have criticized Abdul El-Sayed for appearing on the campaign trail with him. What's your view of that criticism? I mean, people, you know, in a free country, people can have opinions about people who campaign with candidates. I certainly had my own criticisms of folks who campaigned folks that were on the top of the ticket for us in 2024. Ultimately, we all put our heads down, try to get to voters, have the conversations that are necessary, because we're not able to have any kind of the changes that we want. until we win. That's what it's about. You're allowed to have those opinions as long as we win, as long as we win. At this time every single day, we jump into a little thing we like to call the lightning round. It's the... With Chris Hand. With Chris Hand. All the stories that we didn't have a chance to get to. Stories that wouldn't fill a whole segment and more. Sometimes it's just stuff that my wife is like, is I really show prep. And I said, absolutely it is. 1139. We do it every day. It works every time. It's called the lightning round. All right. So I had this one. I was teasing this earlier, but this again, we ran out of time. But let's do it now.

Abdul El-Sayed. He's the guy that won the Democrat nomination for Senate in Michigan. But his real name on his birth certificate, not that you know where that is, but it's Abdul Rahman Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed. And CNN was interviewing Tim Scott out of South Carolina. And they're like, well, are you just using his full name to... hint, hint, remind everybody that he's Muslim? And it's like, I don't know. Even if we weren't using his full name, his name is Abdul. It's kind of a giveaway. You know what I mean? Have you met many Abdul's that were not Muslim? I don't know. But this is this is this is CNN. We're certain is Abdul El-Sayed as making Abdul El-Sayed is making it easier. Why? Because he is inconsistent with mission gandiners of either side of the aisle, by the way. Someone who wants to defund police, defund ICE, who wants to abolish our concept of a border. He's just. He's just wrong for Michigan. And I saw your early attack ads against him. You're using his full name in these attack ads, which has gotten some attention. Abdul Rahman Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed. He goes by Abdul El-Sayed. Are you trying to say hint-hint to voters? He's Muslim? Not at all. What we're saying to him, what we're only saying to voters is a simple thing. He says he's the most dangerous candidate. You can find he's right. We should trust his words, not ours. I wish Tim Scott would have just been like, yep. That's exactly what we're doing. Why not? Like, yeah, you should. You should remind him. Absolutely. Especially in Michigan. I mean, the Muslim population in Michigan doubles the Jewish population, but the Jewish population is not small. Yeah, remind everybody who he is. Also, I think it's hilarious because just over the weekend, Abdul, was it Abdul Rahman Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed? He's on Meet the Press, and he was using Barack Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama. And I wonder if it was the same political calculus. Is it hint, hint, he's a Muslim? Is that what, Abdul Rahman? Mohammed Abdul El-Sayed was going for. Well, let me ask you about some news that we are learning. Some news. Some news. Local outlets reporting that you spoke to former president Barack Obama on the phone. I know you're not going to give me every detail of the call. But what was the crux of his message to you? If you're not watching on Super Talk TV. Like, she's just like so giddy. She's like, I know you're not going to give me every detail of the call. She's like cheesing, grinning from ear to ear. You see that picture of her? She's like, oh my gosh, you got on the phone with Barack Obama. That is so cool, Abdul. What did he say?

He said, nice clock. Oh, that's so weird. Did he think you were a dare? You think you were someone else? That's so weird. Tell us about the call with Barack Obama. That is so cool, Abdul. Well, Chris, and you're right. I like to keep private conversations private, but it was a really warm and inspiring conversation. I got to be honest with you, I never saw myself ever able to run for public office. I literally told former President Bill Clinton that at my college graduation in which I was the senior speaker and he was the main speaker. And I then watched the next year Barack Hussein Obama run for and win the presidency. Whoa, bro. Barack Hussein Obama? Whoa. Are you trying to hint, hint, tell people he's Muslim or something? That's crazy. I don't say that stuff. Don't even, don't say that. All right, got another server here in the later on. Another one. I just think, I just think it's funny because, like, rules for thee, but not for me, right? Like, everybody gets so up in arms if Trump says Barack Hussein Obama. But Abdul. Abdul can do no wrong, right? It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Like, he's allowed to use the full name. It's no big deal. All right. Let me see what I got. Let me see what I got here. Thank you. I don't know. I'm not like, I'm not really like, I'm more curious about this story. Some people are really upset about this. But I'm like, I wanted, I wish I could get inside these guys' minds. Florida business owners accused of dumping 1,500 mothballs on the beach to deter imperiled birds. Yep. Parab business owners in St. Petersburg, Florida are accused of dumping mothballs on the beach. to deter state-listed imperiled birds from nesting on the beach in an area behind their business. A lot of mothballs, they scattered them to scare off endangered birds. Breitbart had the story, but there's a local news. There's a local news in Tampa Bay reporting on this. Two St. Pete business owners, two St. Pete Beach business owners are under arrest tonight, accused of targeting a critical seabird nesting area. State wildlife officers say 1,500 mothballs were scattered near the Plaza Hotel back in April. That's just before imperiled black skimmers were expected to nest. Fox 13's Jennifer Veglis explains the evidence FWC laid out today. It was a jarring case from the start, but even more surprising. The owner of the Plaza Hotel and the hotel's beach bar are both accused of being behind it, claiming the black skimmers were hurting business. Whoa.

The U.S. Soccer Podcast. These players are battered and exhausted, but you don't hurt like this if you don't care about this team, about this country, about this game. You can feel the intensity, the goals, the energy that, wow, look at us. Here in the U.S., I have got some news for you. There's so much more to come. My name is Megan Klingberg, and we're just getting started. The U.S. Soccer Podcast, presented by Henkel. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Whoa. Sorry. Insert inappropriate racial joke here. I won't. Leave that to your own imagination. They were tired of the black skimmers showing up at their business. Just outside the Plaza Hotel, this colony of state-protected imperiled black skimmers is nesting peacefully. But Lisa Reich, Audubon Bird Steward and CEO of the Coastal Wildlife Advocacy Group says it was a close call when in April two mornings in a row volunteers found a total of 1,500 mothballs scattered near this known nesting area just one week before the birds were expected to arrive. And everybody went out there and collected hundreds and thousands. of mothballs. For months, FWC investigators pieced together what happened using surveillance video, receipts, text messages, and cell phone data that linked the owner of the Plaza Hotel, Robert Sazon, to a $60 purchase of mothballs at a Walmart. Incriminating text messages between Mr. Sazon and a second individual indicated they did not want the birds nesting behind the hotel. And they were going to do something to prevent that from happening. That second suspect is Chris Monroe, owner of Chris's beachside bar located at the plaza. It's got to be the most embarrassing thing to be arrested for, right? It's pretty bad. Like, you're in jail, right? What would you do? Knocked off a bank. What'd you do? Knocked off a bread truck. What'd you do? I went after the birds. Which once? The black skimmers. Whoa. I wouldn't mess with that guy. Would you? Cell phone tower data placed him at the same location as Mr. Sason on both nights prior to the mothballs appearing on the beach. FWC Captain Matthew De La Rosa read one text exchange between the two men. I'll read it verbatim said quote, why didn't you tell me we lose 25 to 50,000 dollars and that's in reference to these birds being on the beach. The FWC says Pinellas beaches are home to 10% of the estimated 6,800 black skimmers in Florida. And disruptions like this could be detrimental, delaying breeding season. So then you run into potential larger storms at the end of our hurricane season that can wipe out a colony if those young birds haven't fledged yet. Reich says these arrests send a clear message. Birds over people, right? Is that what that's the message?

You're allowed to lose $50,000 a month because we prefer the birds over you. I do, like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be, like, dumping mothballs on the beach. Don't get me wrong. But I do feel bad for the business owners. Tired of these birds. It's crapping everywhere. Acting like they own the place. Not a fan. If those birds were real, I'd be very upset. All right, got another strip for here in the lightning round. In the lightning round? No! I take offense to this story personally. Oh, yeah? A trans-Canadian flight was canceled this week because the toddler decided to not buckle up. It's not like a fight full of trans people. Just in case you are wondering. I'd be more, I'd be like I get why the toddler doesn't want to buckle up in that situation. Get me off this plane. That mother lover's not real. It's like, yeah, I know. I know. All right. So the Katie Porter Airlines flight 444, it was going from British Columbia to Toronto when the child refused to sit down and buckle their seatbelt. The aircraft was in the middle of taxiing during its scheduled departure from Victoria International Airport at 1030 when the trouble began. And a flight attendant noticed the toddler was not complying with the rules to keep everyone safe. How? How does the toddler being buckled or not buckled affect anyone else's safety? Can you tell me that? It doesn't. It doesn't. I understand it could affect the toddler's safety, but it doesn't affect everyone's safety. And that flight attendant clearly doesn't have kids because you would have just looked the other way and been like, okay, yeah, just do your thing. It's 10.30 at night. This poor adult has been running around the airport all day long with a toddler, and they're just trying to get home. Probably the last flight of the day, right? Just let them get back to Toronto. Nope. The airline told Fox a young child was standing in their seat and would not secure their seatbelt. The aircraft could not take off in this unsafe condition. So the crew elected to return to the terminal and have the passengers disembark. But by the time the child and the parent were removed from the aircraft with their belongings, flight plans were refiled and the necessary paperwork was completed. The clock had become the next problem. The process stretched beyond 1230 a.m. When Y, Y, YJ's runway closes for the night, meaning the remaining passengers weren't going anywhere either. Up to it including the flight attendants and the pilots, by the way. They're not kicking everybody else off the flight and then going on to where they want to go. They have to stay overnight too because some flight attendant couldn't look the other way. It's insane. The airline's website said a child safety seat or restraint is mandatory for a child under two who are occupying a seat. Transport Canada. Highly recommends the use of an approved child restraint for all phases of the flight.

provides the highest degree of protection for your infant or child, and it's used during the flight will help in the case of unanticipated turbulence. I feel bad for the people on the flight. I feel really bad for the mom or the dad in this situation. I feel really bad for the toddler. That flight attendant, absolute Nazi. It's like the person who's like, is your phone in airplane mode? It's like, dude, come on. What are we doing here? Airplane mode doesn't do anything anyway, by the way, just in case you keep a score at home. All right, got another story before you here in the lighting round. Genanagan! You just hitting all the wrong buttons. Did you... All over the place today. Are you trolling me? No. Are you sure? No! Okay. I'll allow it. Ah, the master of disguise got caught. That's this story. Uh-oh. I know. Dana Carvey? No. Am I not turtily enough for the Turtle Club? Mitch. It's an elite reference. Love that movie. A Georgia man known as the Master of Disguise now faces federal charges for allegedly robbing. We're not sure. Allegedly robbing 10 Atlanta area businesses at gunpoint in what authorities called a reign of terror. Federal authorities reigned Tracy Darrell Mingo, 33 of College Park. Late last week on 20 federal counts tied with the alleged of robberies, which took place between October of 2025 and January of 2026. During his month long, months long reign of terror, Mingo allegedly endangered lives of more than a dozen store employees across 10 different locations by robbing them at gunpoint. He continued, U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. I am proud of the collaborative efforts of the FBI and our local police partners to identify Mingo and arrest him before anyone was seriously hurt. So this guy was showing up and he would be dressed up as like a security officer and he was dressed up as like a construction worker. He was dressed up as a health care worker. One night he looked like he was dressed up as a jogger. Between October 20th, 2025 and January 1st, 26, he robbed 10 Circle K subway and family dollar stores in the Atlanta area. Which, like, if you're going to be a serial robber, here's one of the things. Like, and I don't know, I'm not trying to give ideas. But if, like, if Robin's my business, you know what I mean? At a certain point, wouldn't you graduate up a little bit? Like, you knock off a few circle case, you start feeling pretty good. Wouldn't you go to like a jewelry store, you know, or a bank? Especially if you're being known as the master of disguise. I feel like you would. But he didn't. He just stuck with Subways, family dollars, circle case. They were located in College Park, Decatur, East Point, Fairburn, Marietta, Union City. In each of these incidents, he allegedly entered the store late at night after all or nearly all the customers that left, robbed the store at gunpoint, and he wore different disguises during the robberies, construction worker, healthcare professional, security guard. The FBI and law enforcement partners found an arrested Mingo on January 2nd, 2026 when it appeared.

He was putting on the same security guard disguise used in the robbery of a circle case store the night before. The news of Mingo's arrest and his methods for committing the robberies led to media outlets calling him a master of disguise. If convicted, Mingo faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 63 years in prison. 63 years in prison. If you rob 10 of those stores, right? There's no way if it's late at night that any of these drawers had more than $1,000 in them. No. So just let's say on the on the bright side, let's say he lucked out. Every single drawer had $2,000 in it. Would you trade 63 years in prison for $20,000? No. No. No. Master of disguise. But not not good at thinking ahead. Not getting ahead at all.
