| 0:00.0 | We've had some cars run into the bury wall, not paying attention, they were on their phone. Taxing, scrolling, yeah, that's bad. Most often they be on their phones or they're not paying attention, they can cause a crash. We could stand on the side of the road and watch every other vehicle looking down into their lap as they're passing us. You know what they're looking at. They're looking at their phone. Phones. On their phones, not paying attention. |
| 0:21.9 | Phones. I'm not a mathematician, but I say probably about 80% of the people who pass me |
| 0:26.8 | are on their telephones. No call, text, or video is worth putting yourself for a road worker |
| 0:32.6 | in danger. When driving through construction, Lyuna members ask you for your sake and hours. Slow down, stay off your phone, please. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. Stay off your phones and buckle up and drive safe. We're not asking for much. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down, save a life. We're all in this together. A message from Lippers International Union of North America and affiliated locals. |
| 1:00.0 | You got to let that breathe for a little bit. |
| 1:15.1 | I love narcos. |
| 1:16.6 | And we're going to talk about a guy who spent a lot of years going after these people. |
| 1:20.7 | And we have a very interesting story to tell you. |
| 1:24.7 | Welcome back to WIBC, Those Ashholes hosting Jerry Lopez, Brian |
| 1:28.7 | Alvey, joined in studio by 20-year counterterrorism plus FBI special agent in the best city. You |
| 1:38.2 | could probably do that in Miami. Corey Grass is in the house to talk to us about this Netflix special that's called Heist, but two episodes specifically called Moneyplane that you are actually on. How are you doing this morning? I'm great. Thanks for having me. Good morning, guys. What's up, brother? How are you? I'm just glad to be here. Good to see you guys. All right. I will not use the acronym that I used for FBI on Comey yesterday on you. I actually like you. I appreciate that. The lieutenant governor used to always direct me just being a combing guy just to try and embarrass me and make it funny to break the eyes with people. Yeah. You know you're on the team. So the background on this is, and I'm just going to read it right off here because this is actually kind of of hilarious they put, Carl's Manzon, is that his name? That's his name. He was a law-abiding |
| 2:22.2 | Cuban immigrant, desperate to secure money for an expensive adoption. He had no criminal record |
| 2:27.2 | and planned the operation entirely by watching American TV crime shows. That is true. That's |
| 2:34.0 | facts. So he would watch crime shows and he's like, this is how he planned it. Yeah, and again, Netflix does a great job. I realized afterwards, Netflix has a lot of talent, a lot of money to make a good story entertaining to people. I don't know if he necessarily needed to seal $7.4 million to adopt a kid. They had some childbirth issues and things like that. |
| 2:51.2 | But yeah, he had this bright idea. Someone who gave him the inside scoop where all this money was. |
| 2:55.2 | And then he started watching these shows to see how he could not get caught. He watched a bunch |
| 2:59.1 | of historical shows, sometimes entertaining shows about how the FBI would use DNA or witnesses |
| 3:04.3 | or bait money or things like that. So he tried to prep himself to not get caught, |
| 3:08.9 | but always forgetting that human beings can be crazy. So it says here, November 6, 2005, |
| 3:13.5 | Monzon and a masked gunman stormed an unguarded airport warehouse in broad daylight and escaped |
| 3:20.0 | with 7.4 million in just minutes. It almost doesn't make sense. When we, typically on our squad, I was on a task force in Miami, and I worked at a police department. It was 12 FBI agents and 18 local cops that were fantastic guys and girls. We got the call on a Sunday. The duty agent was supposed to respond down to Miami Airport, MIA Airport, because of a major theft. And we didn't even, it seemed fake. It didn't seem real. Those kind of numbers with, this didn't make sense. But once the first agent got there and realized that then the cavalry was called in after that because it just, it literally, if you watch a Netflix special, it's called Heist, H.E.I.S.D. I say on that show, literally the only thing protecting 80 to $100 million from the outside world was a yellow painted light on the concrete. Like literally that was it. No security cameras working, no weapons, no security guards that were doing anything. It was insane. They just tried to blend in by looking inconspicuous. They had an inside person that had told them, hey, this money's just sitting here. And it's no one does anything to protect it. And then these guys developed a scheme to go inside and take it from them. Now, so that, it was just sitting there in. If they had written on that stuff, no drugs in this bag or this drug has had any drugs in it. Would that, would that have stopped you? Would that be like, oh, yeah, nothing to see here and you had just moved on as a federal agent? |
| 4:33.1 | No. |
