All right, folks welcome on back here this Friday July 2nd shortly after 2 30 p.m. Eastern time to wrap things up for the week heading into The 4th of July weekend great to see all of us for this afternoon meeting great to see Andrea grant later David Norman Jean Cathy skip Jason all of our students of course live inside our trading room all of us in social media Facebook live And YouTube welcome on back Facebook finally up and running I know there was a couple of issues this week's including yesterday so for anyone tuning in specific on Facebook Apologize just for the afternoon broadcasts here. I'm glad to have you back at least but with that in mind Let's begin because for heading into 4th of July weekend. I said this right before You know doing a quick sound test for all of us in cyber group earlier Going into 4th of July weekend I would not be expecting to see the type of runners that we've caught this morning and heading into this afternoon So, you know to start this sqp g-trid. I got a little time here. It's you know heading into holiday weekend It's kind of like mail time no class. I'm gonna be doing the the whole broadcast with the clothes So I don't mind going long on the stream here I'm gonna just check news across the board for a lot of these runners, but to begin the sqbg You know just says you're halted on circuit breaker. No specific news really on the stock Might be a pot stock. I don't know some affiliation perhaps with a canopy growth cgc Maybe but you know ended up making a huge pop more so heading into the early afternoon end up like really from 12 o'clock onward 12 1 o'clock I should say really ended up breaking higher from roughly 1150 ended up snapping up getting halted a couple of times on the way Up and then from that point. I mean normally you would expect to see a stock I don't know. I don't know the float on this action. I will check for that too But uh, you know just for typically a low float low low volume type of stock you would not be Crap I was gonna say something else. This is as low float as low float gets You rarely see a stock at least you know that that we tend to trade under like five million There's there's a couple here and there that's really low float like that But to see a stock with like an 800 10,000 share float and a hundred sixty six or 1.66 million share Outstanding that's really light. So When the stars align god bless it leads to this type of you know parabolic move Practically into the afternoon here. So it makes it almost untradable. It makes it actually untradable. It's not just almost This is like pretty much untradable The best thing for you to do at this point unless if you're holding on from much earlier Which you know if you're holding on from like 12 13 14 and cyber group right now kudos to you You know you're probably doing on small share size because of the volatility in the liquidity either way That's an incredible trade, right?  I'd be looking for like really maybe like 20 I know it dipped down there earlier and then shot back up But you know if it ends up dropping off of even from 25 high it tops off at 25 Resistance and then drops down at 20 perhaps that could be like the first true like you know Bouncer buying opportunity on that stock it might get halted on the way down. You never know so Man, I mean I'd say unless if you're already in this stock cleaning up It's gonna be really tough to try and trade this either way So, you know, I might just be one to watch for fun, you know, that's it It's a little it's a like a firework in the stock market world here, right? You've seen stocks up more percentage wise, you know, this is up 180 percent, which is insane But you know, we've seen stocks up more percentage wise But to see this like beautiful move that you rarely see you rarely tend to see that and again, it's just you know I'm shedding caution to this it's for as low float as it is It's gonna crash really bad not every stocks gonna be the ALF or the MRIN that runs day to day to day I mean, you know, this is gonna make the percent losers list likely come next week if not Monday, right? All right, so, you know, hey started off at number one I don't have class coming up later on today, which you know on those days. I normally just kind of zip through I'm not gonna zip through. I'm gonna just go from top to bottom though So see what else we got right? We'll review them, you know as we go through any of the big moves that we caught from earlier You know seem to be set on this wave stock, right? I mean this one already crashed in burn from 29 high and You know got halted a couple of times on the way up here on the way down here Probably here this, you know crazy shake this big break below support Makes it tough to get out of actually just for fun. We'll double-check the float. I Mean, I don't know if it's lower than a SQBG But it's to say that Benzinger trade station doesn't even list it a couple there at most of Moritz Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe this just new IPO. Maybe that's why they just don't list the float I can check Benzinger later on in Cybergrup Now I saw the call out earlier on the Electric at this point. I'm done with it. It ended up squeezing up after the market opened up It's another one like low float low volume likely. I mean prior to today Prior to whatever news came out on this stock. It was trading just over a half a million shares on average So given that provided the volume that is trading in total right now The volume it was trading earlier in the morning. That's way more than what it typically does and the float The float's not bad 69 million. That's moderate So, you know if the stars could align here, perhaps it can make an afternoon squeeze But the liquidity is pretty light on the book. It's just thin spread out. Don't need it We don't really need to you know trade this stock right now the tat trade. This was choppy and pre-market It was choppier after the open. I Was interested in it. I lined it up very like lightly You know, I drew like the 50 cent levels and whole numbers and that was it for the tat trade This was on a pre-market watch list. I believe I'm just check out the news on this stock right now It seems to be kind of bottoming out right around 8 maybe 8 20 ish again another stock like very thin volume on the book Let's see tat technology shares trading higher after the company announced a new MRO partnership with company honeywell I don't know if that's the Feel like honeywell is some sort of food product. No Food brand perhaps. I don't know you folks. Maybe let me know on the side But either way, you know, perhaps this stock could be good to keep on the side list going into next week As I say that I might want to retract that actually crap Look at the volume that this stock traded like the last however many days prior to today and just even yesterday 30,000 shares on average traded 84,000 shares back on Wednesday of this week 10,000 shares back on Tuesday. So I don't know this thing's got it's got to prove itself to me I mean not every stock we're gonna keep on our like side list or you know follow up with every single day going forward You know, it happens at times where stocks, you know, even though this dumped off if it had like good volume traded You know about a billion shares a day perhaps few hundred thousand shares a day more than whatever it's doing I'd be more interested, but it's got to prove itself to me Prove itself prove itself to me like the MRI entry, right? Geez, so, you know, it just goes to show back from like a week and a half ago this stock. It was trading five 600,000 shares on average a day. I don't know maybe like going back to like maybe mid to late June We shrink few hundred thousand shares on average a day We weren't familiar with the stock at all and then it exploded in pre-market on the 24th ran from three Up to 381 so we said, alright, we'll keep it on our side list Sure, we'll probably dump off at some point and then obviously it blew the lid off and exploded But you know, we're gonna follow this stock now going forward likely practically every day You know, there might not be a great trade on the stock every day But you know going forward every morning in pre-market for the next week or two I'm gonna be at least looking at it seeing if there's you know, any sort of opportunity All right, OSG buyout knew that talked about that in pre-market folks. I wrote that in the chat board Need to say that but staff Hey, what goes up comes back down ended up making a nice slingshot after after the market opened up took a few attempts to get The real push but broke out over five. Actually, let me zoom in on this chart I don't mind doing that here. I mean the stocks definitely not worth watching for the close But you know as far as the market open we saw the stock kind of bottom out right around its opening bell print and Roughly off of five off the you know A few attempts of it breaking through that level and you know once it popped here finally it ended up holding support Ended up making the big push from that point, right? Even after it's a little bit longer and then rat up But ended up topping off right around 680 not mistaken 665 I Yeah, 675 high but you know goes to say again when the volume dies off. So does the stock I say that practically every day You know, but hey, I say that for a reason though, right? I kind of like stamping in the back of your heads just you know So you don't make that mistake of holding on to this stock as it jumps all the way back down Try and hope and hold. Oh, it's gonna move back up at some point, right? Right Right Nope, not at all So, you know, you got to be careful on a trade like this even though this does have good volume on the book and all of that stuff but All right, let's keep it going see what else we got BLIN This stock we did really well on I mean just from earlier this week back on Wednesday It ended up popping the dropping and you know from there We ended up following up with it yesterday didn't really make the best move at first Then made the slingshot later on for us in the after afternoon But today ended up making this really nice push got pretty choppy early on but man this made kind of a similar move as the as The STAF did practically, you know after the market opened up You know had a few attempts of breaking over 650 in this case But it ended up doing so ended up holding it as support after right on up towards like eight 825 this was really nasty here So, you know, we talk about this going into like the mid-morning and we normally say it's around like 10 30 Eastern time 1045 maybe sometimes, you know earlier sometimes later like this, but you know, it can't keep on going up forever, right? So it broke above resistance off of 825 here Looked good at the time, but obviously snapped right back down on the same bar and You know same kind of story right end up dumping all the way back down made made for some made for some good bounces I ended up getting clipped on some trades here just before we started the meeting I was hoping to see this really begin to squeeze up You know into the close and doesn't seem to be the case now I'm happy to be out of my position right now at least I took two losses like an 8 cent or 12 cent loss at first Like I set my stop-on-stop market there. So I forgot if it was like 8 10 12 The second one was like 4 cent. So I made it really tight on the second one Just hoping that it would make the bigger squeeze at the time. It did not I feel like at this point I'm not gonna like put it on our main list Don't think I have like really many on our main list I don't have it like any stocks so far on our watch list. I mean we've only gone through the first 10 But you would figure with a lot of stocks on the top of the gainers I'd normally put a couple on there on there to begin. There's normally some good positions out there They're near the top of the gainers list. So, you know, who knows? I mean, hey, we're heading into 4th July weekend. So we normally don't expect a lot We had a whole lot and maybe this could be it. I mean, I was gonna get to this I saw this from Benzinga pro I saw this later calling it out inside our trading room. So I had a feeling, you know, of course that this was gonna come But the EFO I trade Ended up making this big pop just now ended up like grinding on up earlier this morning or into the late morning early afternoon Kind of like really low volume, but ended up making this big pop here. So be careful for the pullback down There's no news on this stock really Latest news on this really was dating back to June 22nd something about like a Tweeted something. I don't know about their LED products Guess for like schools Norman here in cyber group saying the VISL just popped. I do see that also on Benzinga pro. How about that and Also, how about this? I'm gonna do something really fast. Yeah, I don't do this too often. Give me a quick sec Doing this on social media only for all of us in cyber group I show this in class you folks see Benzinga pro all the time I'm just doing this as a little tree for them on social media It's my screen on Benzinga pro So I'm just showing like right now like kind of my stream of like stocks that are breaking new highs today. Here's the Set MRI and no WRN not that but got EFO I the SQBG crazy one Obviously seems to be pushing up from before Polo maybe we'll get to in just a bit But you know, this is what I'm looking at kind of what I'm doing these streams these broadcasts in the afternoon All right, all right, so let me switch monitors We're gonna just get that normal platform sharing again a quick second. All right, there we go. All right, cool All right, so back to the gainers listening for all of us in cyber group now We're back to the you know, just kind of a scans here, but OPTT we have the EFO I on our list, of course, hopefully that keeps going at some point But the OPTT trade I don't know. I'm still kind of interested in it now I am more so because the re break over three not much Got a couple prints over three I mean really 302 got to see more coming in from there But you know looks a lot better now than it did before I was looking at it before and I was saying like earlier before we start The meeting hopefully that you know, this can make the re break later on and here it is now So I'm gonna put this back on our list the OPTT stock when I say back on our list It wasn't on the morning watch list But it's a stock that we are very familiar with we treat the stock as recent as I think like a or June or not May or June March this year January You get a little tripped up with your days weeks and months folks over time I said June March May back in late January we traded the stock and even before that over the you know Many months and years prior to that. I mean I can go back if I wanted to but you know I remember trading the stock as early as like 2016 So ocean power we're really familiar with here in cyber group For right now pushing over three. Hopefully keeps going. Hopefully we see a lot more You know prints coming in and green over three. I'm sure it'll shake around given. It's like not the fastest move, but For right now, we'll put this on our list All right, keep it going ASTR. It was a beautiful run from earlier today You can see at least more so on the five-minute chart ended up making a slingshot Ended up kind of popping around like 14 ended up breaking out from 14 right here going into like 10 to 45 11 o'clock Eastern made a really nice pop and run from that point, right? So, you know, it's kind of pulling back towards the lows that we're being built off the trends going into the Pre-market into the open. I kind of zoom out on the daily or on the five-minute chart Is it possible to catch a bounce? Perhaps I just think that it's like again another stock that's like thinly traded Don't really need to put this on our watch list And more often than not for a stock that made such a big move up earlier today If it's not near the highs at the highs, I wouldn't really be expecting it to make that great of a move So even on ocean power OPTT I'm putting that on our list because we're familiar with it and it's a lot easier of a trade in terms of the order book Less risk, you know, you could read the orders a lot better.  I mean like I know that they merged I think with T-Mobile So nonetheless, I'm like, all right, what could this be sentinel one? I don't know what the company is but they took over the ticker s, but It's funny. We saw Krispy Kreme get re-listed this week. I don't know. I think they're K K in the past They're D and UT now Probably want to get away from that ticker in case if anyone mistypes that So I was probably a good planning on the rent, but yeah s getting back to this year I mean an IPO. I don't know not really much going on there on the order book kind of flat trend there Another stock were familiar with we did all right on this earlier It was a decent play given it was kind of thinly traded on the way up The ISE E trade ended up making the move roughly from I mean, I guess it from seven But we really called it out once it broke the HOD, you know We called it out from Benzinga Pro popped up and ended up running up perfectly after so it was a nice gift Where am I right now and up 8% all right, so we made our way through down we made our way through down here I was like, I got our way tripped up here. Let's see The VISL I think that we Said we were gonna get to it was kind of at the highs before popped up just up up to three three oh four high Yeah, I mean given the after afternoon move. I mean, it's near the highs right so give a shot Notice my tone on that right like not really chomping at the bit on that I mean again good spread good order book level one or two stock You know if you could show more buying off of three I might pull back to 91st view ops off 286 of such a pop It wouldn't shock me to see a pull pull back lower before anything. So maybe we see 290 before 304 again All right, so we'll hop over to the loser's list here I don't really see much else on the gainers end that was like a familiar name.  I lied CLS state Dumped it off right now. Not a whole lot really to work with there All right, so we'll hop over to loser side ITRM got crushed early on today Ended up making the dead cat bounce. We saw that earlier today. So, you know made for a nice play But right now we're done on it Arrowhead got crushed in pre-market. I think off of earnings All right, we keep it kind of skipping ahead really I mean, we know this you know on the loser side Oh, actually, let me let me just prep up my Bitcoin chart, you know going into the end of the week You know, you knew I would be showing that but We'll pull back back from Wednesday into today on Bitcoin. We'll get that a second at least but I mean Smith and Wesson SWBI down 11 and a half shortable Yeah Not really like refrigerator material. Ha is I would say all right Sorrento made the percent gainers list yesterday and goes to show why that not really, you know, I kind of a Yeld it someone earlier one of our students and he had a great day today, Brian W I know he ended up dropping off from the trading room earlier to enjoy his fourth July weekend But you know, I sounded firm, but it's true. I'm so adamant with it And this can't be a better example of it You know just you can't turn a day trade into a swing trade just like oh, so, you know SR&E was moving up into the close yesterday. It looks great, you know, let's just swing it into tomorrow morning It's more likely to gap up, right? I mean perhaps but That's it your discretion, right? We do not advocate for that That's like cardinal rule number one Do not turn a day trade into a swing trade if you do do so do it responsibly, you know If you're trading a thousand shares of this stock scale out at the end of yesterday afternoon like 800 shares Keep 200 overnight or at least into the after hours and make that decision from that point That's what I was doing earlier this week on a few trades I'm swing into the next day I just kind of played it into the first 30 minutes of the after hours closed But you know just goes to show here. I mean just I mean doesn't work out right down 9% right now And you know make a couple of bounces off of 10 earlier I missed that but it could have been decent day trades there But yeah for the afternoon not really much going on Alright, I'll tell you markets up market had a great day today S&P ETF spy You know pushed up earlier into the afternoon It was like kind of like coasting grinding and then all of a sudden just started running up You know it made for a great afternoon so far across the board I will get to Bitcoin in a second Let me know if there's anything else up down left right more than like 5% that you would want me to check out Here before I wrap it up AFC made a run from low of the day says Daniel on YouTube joining us today. Let's see Wow that hell of a slingshot you are right that yeah, I missed that on AMC today You know same thing happened on workhorse. So I guess I kind of correlate that I don't know what news came out on workhorse Actually, it will check I told you I got time today. So Nothing but time Don't really see any trades. I'm chomping at the bit force. So I Got one stock actually I've been using a pro popping right now I'll look at that in a second But this workhorse straight made a really nasty snap down and reminded me of that of that AMC trade that Daniel Just wrote to me there on YouTube So it looks like they fell in sympathy of Lordstown Motors. That's ride right our IDE Whoa, they got smoked. Geez All right, so what's the news on ride? So? Ride shares retreating lower following reports suggesting the Department of Justice is probing the company interesting All right, well, that's all I got at least on that You know, I'm sure we'll find more at least over the weekend on other news outlets But yeah, I mean this ride trade took a big hit workhorse went with it, you know, they do they do trade together I mean, we knew that but interesting keep them in mind for next week. That's a that's for sure All right, so I got one stock I told you about and then we'll jump to Bitcoin and then finish up from there So SIPR the stock just popped up on Benzinga pro.  I mean just popped up on Benzinga. I don't really need to put this on our list just yet The visl though, this looks a little bit better It actually no pullback to 290 ended up making the push right back up broke higher So hopefully this keeps on grinding on up for us right now. This is already on our list, right? Well, check out emrin. We'll check out DD and then we'll get to Bitcoin and that's it not much going on there and Not much going on here. All right, so hop over to Bitcoin I'll show the chart really quickly for any of our crypto people here at least into the afternoon meeting So you got a little news got a little news not on Bitcoin But on another one one that I'm heavily in and I told you folks that in past afternoon meetings more So if you're you know in cyber group, I talked about it a lot more, you know Cuz I've had more more of a time, you know to chat with you folks there But for right now, I mean, it's just to say I mean this is the daily chart So just seeing back from Wednesday this week just slowly dropping off That's that's it not much to really write home about I'd rather see it up. Obviously, but I feel pretty confident about August Let's say that for the research that I'm doing, you know for the people I'm studying on Bitcoin There are studies and their research Which have been true since the beginning of March of or since the beginning of well March of last year but I started really following them back in like April May time of last year That's like when I personally first started following crypto, you know, so the same people I've been following are Believing to are believing that August is going to be really strong. So, you know, I'm still very bullish long-term regardless I mean, I was saying from the beginning of it all and they've been saying, you know focus on like December January of 2022 December of 2021 and so forth, but You know for right now just little consolidation We'll see where it goes going into the weekend and I'll come back to this chart on Monday. That's it. Oh Oops, hold on Little more news on that. I said I got a little little news and that was it So on one of the positions that I'm in and it's the one that I'm in the most I don't know why it's not letting me go to it. Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy Cardano EDA. There's some big news regarding grayscale, which are practically the Winklevoss twins You folks follow them and all that There are some of the biggest holders and crypto all together Bitcoin. I Finally their company grayscale ended up adding Cardano Fund as part of their portfolio and it's the third largest in terms of their portfolio. So for myself I'm pretty excited about that. It's not going to be an immediate, you know, giant run-up I think it's gonna just be very beneficial over the next like two weeks to six weeks, perhaps But nonetheless just today it made for a nice little small move up and yeah I mean, we'll see what happens on Cardano in particular ADA But I've been showing more Bitcoin really for all of us in the afternoon streams at least, you know of late, right? All right, so last one of the chat board.  Apologies All right last one Or maybe the last couple From Patrick you want he's calling out. Yeah, I mean since I've been flapping my gums here You ones been pushing up really nicely. So it's a stock we're familiar with I don't mind adding this to our watch list for for right now. Definitely To a Winklevide to win. Yeah, that's right. She isn't plural EFI EF oi nearing highs again a stock already on our list, of course, but Jeffrey I'm calling that out inside cyber group Who do I follow in crypto? I'm gonna type that in the chat board Bonnie I will just give me like ten minutes probably I had to take a quick breather from this meeting I've been flowing nicely, but I got that stretch the legs refilt the water and all that stuff I'll be back in like 15 minutes on the broadcast or on the commentary inside the trading room and I'll tell you all about it I will tell you but that's a good segue for all of us in social media So let me do this right now while I have the chance make sure to like subscribe follow on our YouTube channel YouTube comm slash cyber trading you Otherwise go right down to the link on the banner below just to get yourself started on a small trial If you're feeling free to join us this afternoon, I'll tell you all about my crypto studies and the people I personally follow I'll gather an official list at some point, but off the top of my head Bonnie. I'll tell you just later on Probably forget one or two. Yeah, nice call though on this EF oi Jeffrey clove in recovery from Lita Slow grinder good sideless stock. That's it, but I was watching that earlier today actually really quick I got time right Daniel. We got time, right? so on Clove my first trade of the day. I didn't even call it out to you folks. I don't think inside cyber group I was a little skeptical of it, but I saw this bottom out at first at 12 And I jumped in long expecting a squeeze up and I saw a workhorse move up at the time and perhaps, you know I was hoping the reddit stocks would go up and ended up chopping back down I took like a dinky 4 cent loss 5 cent loss nothing bad But just again another example goes to show why you can't like hold on to a losing trade Just hoping it goes up hoping it goes up. I took two losses on this actually I thought it would pump up right here, and I jumped in pulled back took another like two cent hit Orn't big at all, but it's just if I didn't get out where I did Look what happened. Maybe like five minutes later 10 minutes later Let alone the end result, but All right folks We got four stocks on the afternoon watch list heading into this afternoon. That's just about it All right, so I'm gonna take a quick breather I'll be back on the mic right around 3 15 and then I'll close things out for all of us cyber group for all of us in social Media Facebook live YouTube. I appreciate you sticking with me each and every afternoon and for all of us that are new Hopefully going forward happy for July weekend, of course that in mind markets are closed on Monday on the 5th So we will tune back in or we will check back in with you folks on Tuesday and again for all of us inside Cyber group. I will be back on very shortly from that. All right, I'll talk to you soon

They satisfy millions. They're best for you. Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Saturday, May 21st. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the night watch out a robbery detail. My partner, Frank Smith, the boss of Chief of Detective Stad Brown. My name's Friday. We're on our way back from the scene and it was 10.56 p.m. when we got to Georgia Street receiving hospital. Treatment room. Thank you, doctor. No, ma'am, police officers. Doctor said we could ask you some questions. About the robbery? Yes, ma'am. It's my partner, Frank Smith. My name's Friday. Hello, Ms. Montgomery. You heard anything about Keith? Is he all right? Well, the doctor's still with him. Is he going to be all right? We better talk to the doctor about that, I think. You tried to stop the man from robbing us. You tried to throw him out of the store. Yes, ma'am. Now, can you tell us what happened? Well, I guess so if the doctor said I could. Well, any time you don't feel like going on, just tell us, please. All right. What time did the man come into the store? 9.30, right around in there. Yeah.  We usually play a couple of games before we close up, especially when business is kind of slow. Uh-huh. These two men came in. Keith went out to wait on them. Did you go with him? No. There wasn't any reason to. Just two customers. No reason for me to go out. It looked like they came in together. Did you get to see him from where you were, huh? Oh, yes. We had the card table set up right in the doorway of the back room. All right, ma'am. Would you like to go on? Well, Keith went out and asked them what they wanted. Yeah. One of them said he wanted a bottle of vodka. Keith asked him what kind, and the man said it didn't make any difference, said he wanted a hundred proof, though. Uh-huh. Keith got the bottle off the shelf and came back. Told the man how much the bottle was, and that's when the other man pulled out the knife. You say the second man drew the knife, huh? That's right. Short fell. Had this kind of knife with a spring blade where you push a button and the blade snaps out. You know how? Yes, ma'am. Did the men know you were in the back room? They must have. All they had to do was look through the door, and they'd have seen me. I wasn't trying to hide. All right. Feel like going on? Yes. The doctor gave me some kind of pill. It makes me a little numb, but I feel all right. All right. You please go ahead. Now, what happened after they pulled this knife? Well, the short one told Keith to give him the money. He said it was a hold-up. Could you remember his exact words? I don't know. It seems he said, all right, old man, this is a stick-up. Put all the money in the register in a paper bag and don't cause any trouble. This is near as I can remember. That's what he said. All right. What happened then? Well, Keith told him to get out of the store. Said the two of them were too young to get mixed up in that kind of foolishness. Told him to get right out. Yeah. Little fella, the short one with the knife, grabbed Keith and told him they weren't playing games. But if he knew what was good for him, he'd do like he was told. Had the knife right at his chest. I thought he was going to cut Keith. Mm-hmm. That's when I came out of the back room when I thought they were going to hurt Keith. All right. Oh, yes. I want to get this over and tell you what you need to know so you can catch the fellas. All right, ma'am. What happened when you came into the store? Well, I tried to get the men out of the place. Told them that if they knew what was good for them, they'd leave right then. Uh-huh. Might as well have been talking to a wall. They didn't pay any attention to me. Yeah. Well, that's when I tried to get to the phone. I wanted to call the police. What was your husband doing at this time? Standing there trying to keep him moving into the knife. This short little fella had it pressed right against his chest. Had the point right here. Keith made any kind of a move. He'd have been stabbed. I see. When they saw me go to the phone, the tall one grabbed me and hit me with his fist closed. Hit me about as hard as he could. As soon as he did that, Keith seemed to go crazy. Wrenched himself away from the one with the knife and jumped on the tall man and fought him as hard as he could. Yeah. Terrible the way it happened. Yes, ma'am. The tall man hit Keith along the neck with the edge of his hand and knocked my husband down. Then the little fella jumped on him. Hell, this knife ratted his throat and told him to take the money and put it in a bag. But he didn't want any more trouble or he'd kill us both. All the time he had the knife right here at Keith's throat. Yes, ma'am. Your husband did what they said? Yes, that's right. He opened the register and gave him the money, put it in a paper bag. I thought they'd leave after that, but they didn't. Only made them matter. Why was that, you know? It wasn't enough money. Only about 30 or $35. They said we had more in the back room and they wanted that too. Sad for us to get it or they'd kill us. Well, did you get it for them? Yes. I went back and took it out from where we hid it. Handed it right over. Mm-hmm. What did the doctor say about Keith? He must have said something. Frank, would you check with Dr. Sebastian and see what's going on in there? Yeah, I will. Would you want, please? After they got the other money, the two men left the store with the cash in the paper bag and walked out. Said to me to stay still for five minutes so they'd come back and kill Keith and me. Mm-hmm. When did the special officer come into the store? We didn't. Ma'am. He drove up when we were arguing with the men on the sidewalk and after they left the store, Keith got up and ran after them, tried to hold him. Did the officer know what was going on? No, not at first. He thought it was just an argument. When he walked up, Keith tried to tell him that the store was being robbed, but the tall robber said it was just a personal fight. Said it didn't concern anybody else but Keith and him. Were you on the sidewalk at the time? Yes, right beside Keith. I see. Robert said that Keith was just an old crackpot trying to cause trouble, that the officer should forget about it. Yeah. I guess it didn't sound very good to him because he said it'd be better if Keith and the men talked to a policeman. That's when the tall holdup man grabbed the gun and shot. At the officer? Yes.  What happened then? The smaller of the two stabbed Keith a couple of times and both of them ran down the street. Did you see where they went? Yes. They got into a car. It was parked about a half a block away. Jumped into the car and left. All right, Ms. Montgomery, just a couple more questions now. Did either of the two men use a name at any time? What do you mean? Well, when they were talking to each other, did they use a name of any time? Do you remember? Yes. When they shot the officer, the big one, he did the shooting. He said, come on, Hank, let's get out of here. Like that, he said it. I see. Now, was there anything outstanding about the two men that you can remember? Anything that would make them easier for us to identify? Oh, I can't think of anything right off. Just that one was tall and the other one was short. That's all I can think of. About how tall, do you remember? The big one? Yes, ma'am. Over six feet. I'd say it was about six feet, three, maybe even more. Did he have any special marks or scars that you can recall? No, no, nothing like that. Now, how about the short one? Anything that would make it easier for us to identify him? Just his fingernails. How do you mean? They looked like he'd never cleaned them. They were long and dirty. I remember that. Was there anything else? No. Did either of them speak with any kind of an accent, would you remember? No. It sounded just like anybody else. Nothing special about him. I'll see you. Joe. Yeah, Frank? See you, ma'am. Did you find out about Keith? Did you talk to the doctor? He'll be right in to see him. Is Keith going to be all right? Why don't you tell me what's happening? Try to take it easy, ma'am. The doctor will be right in. All right, but time to hurry, please, please. Yes, we'll do that. Did you call county? Yeah, they're operating on Holman. How's he doing? Well, as soon as they get the bullet out, he should make it move. It's not serious. What's going on in Montgomery? He just died. Nightphones. The story we'd gotten from Irene Montgomery was pretty much the same as Special Officer Kenneth Holman had given us. Immediately after the robbery, a local and an APB had gone out on the suspects. In canvassing the neighborhood, the investigating officers had found two eyewitnesses to the shooting stabbing. A man and a woman had been parked in an automobile directly across the street from the Montgomery store. They'd been able to give us a description of the car that the suspects had driven away from the scene, along with the last three numbers on the license plate. Frank and I had been talking to Mrs. Montgomery. Officers Benson and Herman from robbery detail had been going through the Department of Motor Vehicle Records looking for the owner's name. Information on the method of operation used in the crime was sent to the stats office and the run was started. The moniker file at R&I was checked for a suspect with a nickname Hank, who matched the description of the smaller thief. The two eyewitnesses were brought into the city hall to go through the mug books for a possible identification. While Frank went to the office to check with Benson and Herman, I worked with the witnesses. On this page. How about here? No, I don't see him here either. All right. Wait a minute. Let's follow here. See? This one? Yeah, it's not the whole up man, but he's got the same kind of ears close to his head like the same kind of ears. You're sure it's not the man, though? Uh-uh. Just got ears like him. All right, Mr. Steele, would you go on, please? Here. I remember those years. I used to go to school with a kid who had ears like that. You remember that kid? Yes, sir. You mean kid? I never forget him. It was real mean. I don't guess I've thought of him for at least 15 years. Never forget him, though. Mean? Yes, sir. You waited for me after school once. Had a big fight. I don't even know what I was about. Big fight. It beat me up. Sure like to meet him now. I'll be a different story. What, you got another one? Yeah, I get it. Say, how many more God of these things, anyhow? Quite a few. You can see them right here on the shelves. You want me to go through all of them? Well, we'd like to have you check the pictures, yes, sir. That's going to take a while.  Well, how about the woman who was held up? What's her name? Mrs. Holman? No, Montgomery. Holman was the officer who was shot. Yeah, well, about Mrs. Montgomery. Can't she tell you about the robbers? She's under the care of her doctor, her husband died, you know. Yes, sir, that's right. That's too bad. We didn't know what it was all about, you know. Yes, sir.  We didn't know what the brakes were. Yes, sir. I wonder if we can go on with the books here. Oh, yeah. How about right here? No, not here. All right. Say, he's mean. What'd he do? Robbery. Yeah, you can tell. Look at the face. I don't see him here. Perry. Sir? Perry Nicholson, that's the guy's name. One of the close years, I remember it now. I haven't thought of it. 15 years, Perry Nicholson. Bully. If you'd like to meet ol' Perry now, it'll be a different story if you want to fight now. A whole different story. John. I just found it abandoned. Two officers in a radio unit found a parking lot at the corner of Rosemont Avenue in Waterloo. When the vehicle was discovered in the similarity to the description that had been broadcast was noticed, the car was put under surveillance, and our office had been notified. Frank and I left the city hall and drove out to the parking lot immediately. The car was placed under surveillance again, and we checked it through DMV. We found the car was owned by an Edwin Vargas, 1879 Moss Street out in Burbank. We checked the name through R&I, but we found that he had no criminal record and covered the rear of the place. I rang the bell of the house and waited. Yeah? Do you like to see Mr. Vargas? He's not in right now. Anything I can do? You know where he is? No, I imagine he got held up downtown, probably working late. What if we are if I wait for him? I'm not sure.  Sorry, police officer. My name's Friday. What the cops want Ed for? Might be better if we talk to him. You alone? Anybody else in the house, ma'am? I'm sure he took it to work within this morning. It might be better if I wait inside, huh? All right, come on in. I don't know what this is all about, but you can bet it's some kind of mistake. Ed's never had no trouble with the cops, never none. Where's that door lead over here? Bedroom. If I take a look?  What's that over there? The bathroom? Yeah. Just the one bedroom? No need for any more. Me and Ed don't have any children. Say, if you're looking for something, maybe if you'll tell me what it is, I can help you. You just want to check the house, ma'am. Is this all the rest of the house? I told you we don't need any more room. Let me see. Just unlocking your back door, ma'am. My partner's out there. All right, Frank. Who is this? Another cop? This is my partner Frank Smith, Ms. Vargaston. Seems to me you should be able to tell me what this is all about, Mr. Friday. Can you give us a description of your husband? He's in no trouble. You got something on your back and you're trying to dump it on Ed and it isn't going to work. You want to give us a description? What do you want to know? How tall is your husband? Six-three. How old? Thirty-two. What color is his hair? Kind of sandy. Look, what is this? A third degree. What are you trying to prove with all these questions? I just want to get at the truth, ma'am. It's a kind of hard way to do it, if you ask me. Well, I'm sorry for causing any trouble. You are. Where's your husband work? He's a salesman. Who for, ma'am? You usually work this late? No, I told you that. But you think he's at work tonight? Yes. Well, then you wouldn't mind if we called him, would you? I'm not going to have you causing him any embarrassment. Don't worry about him, Ms. Vargaston. Would you like to give us the number? It's in the phone book. Look, under emergency numbers. You want to make the call, Frank? Yeah, I'll do it. Look, what do you think he's done? It's police business, ma'am. I'm his wife. I've got a right to know. It'll be better if we talk to him, I think. That's what you say.  How long you lived here? You mean in California? That's right. I was born here. How about your husband? He's been here a couple of years. Where's he from? New York State. Where? New York State. A little place right outside of Utica. Ever been in trouble back there, would you know? Well, if he was, he didn't say anything to me about it. How long has he had the job? Since the week after he came out, it's a smart guy. He'd have no trouble getting work. How about it? I talked to the building superintendent. Yeah. He says Vargast left at 5.30 this afternoon. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. Meet the young man with a horn. America's number one band leader, Ray Anthony, who's taking over the Perry Como show this summer. Ray and his attractive wife, Dee, are another couple who always say, Chesterfield's for me. I spoke Chesterfield regular size. My reason is simple enough. They give me the taste and mildest I want. I know they're best for me. Ray and I agree. I'm just about everything. And Chesterfield is no exception. Like a lot of people, though, I like a longer smoke. So I smoke king-size Chesterfield. What a pair. Chesterfield king-size at the new low price and Chesterfield regular. America's most popular two-way cigarette. The description of the owner of the car used in the hold-up coupled with his absence made him a prime suspect in the robbery. We continued to talk to his wife. She gave us some of the background on Vargas. She told us that they'd only been married a little over a year and that they were still trying to pay off the debts that her husband had incurred before they're married. She went on to say that in the last few days he'd been depressed about their finances and that on that morning Vargas had said he'd figured a way out for them. Frank called the office and the broadcast was gotten out asking if the man be picked up and detained for questioning. 1.15 a.m. We asked Mrs. Vargas about her husband's friends. Isn't anyone Ed's real close to? Well, is there one man he's with more than the others? Would you know? Maybe somebody he works with. No. Unless maybe it's Vic. Ed don't have much to do with him though. He knows I don't care for him. Don't like to have him around. Who's Ed, man? Vic Noble. He works in the same office as Ed. What's he look like? Oh, not much. Little guy, kind of nondescript. Never did figure out he could be a good salesman. I'd never buy anything from him. Honestly, he makes me nervous just to have him around. Oh, excuse me. Yes, go ahead. If it's your husband it might be better if you didn't tell him we were here. All right. Hello? Yeah, honey, where you been? What? Well, do you know when? Uh-huh. Well, did you call the police? Well, you should have called them right away. Yeah. No, I'll drive right down to pick you up. You wait right there. Uh-huh. Well, right away. That's right. Well, look, tell me where it is. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know. Turn left, yeah. All right, I'll find it. You wait right there, will you? All right, goodbye. Bye. That was Ed. Yeah. You're going to have to find yourself another boy. Ma'am. Well, whatever this is, it has something to do with Ed's car, doesn't it? That's right. And then you're all wrong about it. He couldn't have had anything to do with it. What do you mean? Ed's car was stolen tonight. We got the address of the bar where Ed Vargas had called from. Frank and I drove down and talked to him. He told us that he'd left work and stopped in the bar for a couple of drinks before he went home. However, when he left the place, he found that his car was gone. He returned to the bar and spent the next several hours trying to figure out what to do. We talked to the bartender and he verified Vargas's statement that he'd been in the place all evening. He was released from custody and allowed to return home. Frank and I continued to talk to the bartender. Got to get ready to close up pretty quick. Just a couple more questions. Well, you mind if I clean up the back bar while we talk? No, sir, go right ahead. Thanks. Well, what do you want to know? You told us that Vargas came in about a quarter of a sex, is that right? There's, I can remember. Yeah, give or take a couple of minutes on either side. But he was here before 7. For sure. Do you meet anybody here? How far is this going to go? What do you mean? Is wife going to find out if I tell you? Not from us. Well, Ed and the Mrs. haven't been getting along so good lately.  He don't like no trouble at home. Soon as Sarah started giving him problems, he found another girl, kid that works in his office. They usually drop in here for a couple of drinks before he goes home. Yeah. Nothing serious going on with him. Just they like to sit and talk. Ed's all the time telling her how this wife doesn't understand him. Old line, but I think he means it. He was in here with a girl tonight, was he? Yeah.  I think maybe Ed drops her off on the way home. She don't have a car. Yeah. Tonight they have more than just a couple of drinks. I think maybe there was something wrong. You know, a little problem? What about?  They all got something on their minds. I make it a practice not the eavesdropper in here. What was their problem, do you know? Sarah won't hear it? No, we told you before. Yeah. Wouldn't want her to come around here causing no beef. She's jealous, you know? Real jealous. That's all? Oh, yeah. Anyway, Ed must have told the girl that he was thinking of leaving his wife because tonight she told him to do something about her as she was walking out. Had a little kind of tiff and then she left. After that, he went out to get the car and found it been stolen. Where'd he leave it, you know? A lot behind the building. Did he leave the keys in the car? I don't know. You saw him when he left carrying a big load. He don't remember. Probably did, though. You have anybody else in here tonight that looked like Vargas? Well, as tall as he was, maybe. A lot of tall people come in here. We understand. But were there any tonight? A couple, yeah. Any of them come in with a shortfall about five, six, or seven? Yeah. What time they come in? About a little after seven. When they leave? I don't know. Maybe seven, 30, quarter of eight. I'm not sure. As one of the tables back there, I served them a couple of times. Didn't take much notice when they left. They paid for the drinks. When I brought them, left a half a buck tip, took off. They come in here regular, do they? Yeah, a couple of times a week, maybe more. They usually together? I've never seen them any other way except once. I'd rather not remember that time. What do you mean? Came in there early, spent the whole night here boozing, got pretty plastered. I had to take Nick home. He couldn't make it alone. Which one is Nick? Short one, little guy. What's he do for a living? Nothing I ever heard of. Well, how's he live? Any way he can. Always seems to have dough. I think maybe some kind of gambler something like that. Always loaded. Well, he looks though. You'd think he was some kind of mechanic, but he's not. Is that right? Sure, he dresses nice. Always got a good suit on, but he doesn't know how to carry it off. What do you mean? It's fingernails. They match those of the thieves perfectly. The bartender closed the place and took us down the street to a hotel where he said he'd taken Nick Roxford. We talked to the desk clerk but found that Roxford had moved several months before. By checking with some of the people in the hotel we got a forwarding address for him. It was a cheap rooming house down on South Peaco. Frank and I went by the city hall and ran the name through R and I. We found that Roxford had an arrest record for petty theft in ADW. We'd served a term in the county jail and was present under the jurisdiction of the court. His mugshot was pulled taken out to the witnesses for identification. We checked with the manager of the boarding house and we found that Roxford and a Henry Larson were registered in one of the rooms. In the company of the manager, we went up to the room, but the pair wasn't in. We contacted the office and told them where we were. They told us that Roxford had been positively identified as one of the holdup men. We settled down to wait for the suspects to come back. 3.30 a.m., four, five, 5.15 a.m. Sounds like somebody's coming. Well, there wasn't no other way. You was there, I didn't see you doing nothing to stop it.  I still think so. All right, hold it right there. What are you doing here? Police officers. You're under arrest. Watch it, Frank! God! Let us take him downtown. Yeah. I better check the cuffs. I don't want them too tight.  Two suspects were taken downtown to the interrogation room. Henry Larson was handcuffed to the chair in robbery while Frank and I talked to Nick Roxford. It's a bad beef. I know it. You guys are going to find out. Why don't you tell us about it? I think I'd tie no robbery rap to me. Look, we've already done it. The witnesses gave us a positive identification on you. How could they? They've never seen me. We've got a picture of you. It's pretty good. You want to tell us about it? I got nothing to say. I want a lawyer. I ain't going to talk till I see a lawyer. You all right? Yeah. Do you know the old man died? I don't know nothing about no old man. His wife says you're the one who stabbed him. She's crazy. She's willing to take it to court. It'll never stick. We think it will. We think we can make you for first degree. What about Hank? Who? Larson? Yeah, what happens to him? He's in charge. He know it yet? Well, you're the first one to hear. What if I give you a hand? I didn't mean that. Well, I suppose I'd tell you what's Hank's idea of the whole thing. Go any better with me? You know, we don't decide that. Well, it seems like if I helped you, it'd be better with me. All right. Do you want to tell us about it? I'll make you a deal. No deals.  All right. Go ahead. Well, the whole thing was his idea right from the start. He cased the store. The whole thing was his idea. What about the car? Well, that was Hank's, too. It was a good deal. You checked the car. You'll find his prints all over it. All right. What happened after that at the store? Well, it was Hank again. I didn't want no part of it. Hank made me. He said if I backed out, he'd get me. He's a big man. He gets mean when he's crossed. I wasn't about to give him no trouble. Go ahead. Well, we got to the place and he made me go in. He made me take a piece of the action. Now, wait a minute. Let's back up here and get this straight. You trying to tell me all the time you wanted no part of it? No. No, you got to believe it. Well, wait. We got it. We got the knife. Well, I got scared. That's all. I got scared. I didn't know what I was doing. Sure you did. Look, you got to believe me. I'm telling the truth. It was all Hank's idea. The whole thing. I want no part of it. Never did. All right. Just keep your voice down, will you? I told you, now you know about the whole thing. You won't tell Hank, will you? What difference does it make? He finds out I told you. He'll kill me. Remember I asked you before? Huh? What difference does it make? The story you've just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On September 4th, trial was held in Department 98, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles. In a moment the results of that trial.

Welcome to The Randy's Show. I am JRF Field Coordinator Brian Thompson and with me is James Randy. Good to be here. How you doing? Uh, hanging in there let's say just hanging in there. Are you doing something different with your beard? Well I I did have it professionally trimmed you see. It's very hard to get these beards that professionally trimmed properly. Most of them just want to hack away at it and make it square or long or whatever. I I'm looking more like Darwin every day and less like uh like uh someone on his last legs but uh well Darwin was on his last legs at 1.2. So the first thing we're going to talk about is this news story that's come out about another gentleman who claims to have created a successful cold fusion machine. So what do you what do you know about cold fusion? Well first of all uh my only experience with the uh not the creators but uh one of the original pair that came up with the idea of cold fusion ponds and Fleischmann was uh oh many many years ago I think it was in Baltimore at a meeting of the American Association of Physics or a I forgot what it is but Carl Sagan was there and Carl and I stood at the back of the auditorium because the the night before the conference officially got started they were actually going to interview ponds and Fleischmann and uh I was happy to see that Carl and I looked at one another after the first three or four questions and did this kind of thing into the other way you know uh and we both came up with exactly the same comment uh they were being asked questions by the from the audience and they were answering them or apparently answering them but as I said when I turned to Carl I said do you get the same idea that I do and he said yes they're not answering the questions I said exactly but they're doing and every question they were asked you're saying that's a very good question which is a sure sign that it's not a very good question for them to answer and uh they usually start out that way by complimenting you on your uh your astute observations you see but what they're really trying to do is say I'm not really going to answer this question and they didn't they did not address any of the questions that up until that point they had presented with and Carl and I sort of solved that and we just turned around and walked out the reporters outside asked what did you think and I just looked at one of the reporters and I said cold not fusion and uh and uh Carl chuckled at that and we walked away but uh that was my only confrontation with pawns and Fleischman they simply couldn't answer questions and as we know we don't talk about pawns and Fleischman anymore but this one is just another one of so many of these stories that come up and and you notice from the from the text of the article that you sent me there for consideration he's not really saying anything anywhere he's playing cagey he's almost saying things but not quite so basically the story is uh this guy Andrea Rossi um he's a physicist in Italy and he claims to have created a machine that successfully uh performs cold fusion he calls it an ecat machine and uh for those who may not know cold fusion is the fusion of atoms using less energy than what would typically be required which is basically you know the interior of the sun yeah in other words low temperature experiments that will produce fusion at a slower rate and uh not quite as dangerous as we might think because it wouldn't go up in our faces so to speak it may make us where we're sitting but it wouldn't go up in our faces like an atomic explosion yeah and uh I guess if somebody actually did create a cold fusion machine that worked it would completely redefine how energy was created across the entire planet we would absolutely yes so this person is in for a lot of fame and fortune if this thing actually does work um so why don't you think that this is this is why isn't this making gigantic news well first of all I think maybe people are considering the fact that they were burned by pawns of Fleischman because governments Japan for example spent millions and millions of dollars to set them up with their whole laboratory from which nothing emerged whatsoever but people um people will go for anything if it becomes a business and they're going to sell stock and I think that's probably the next thing we're going to hear about that they're going to sell stock in their company or this gentleman is going to sell stock in his company if he owns the thing outright the idea that is and they'll always be promising something or other there's always just around the corner in two weeks we'll have the definitive demonstration for you and it's going to go on like that for quite some time and then suddenly the the stock market in in his respect will completely collapse and the investors will lose their money they'll shake their heads and say wonder if anybody else has got a scheme I can invest in the research behind this machine hasn't been published in any sort of scientific journal yet according to the article though there are a few eyewitnesses that have seen it work apparently there was a demonstration on October 28th at the university this might be ironic I I can't say I'm not going to say one way or another whether this machine actually works I've never seen it but it was demonstrated at the university of what we would pronounce baloney the uh university yeah I spotted that I wasn't going to mention that I'm glad you did I'm not sure how they would pronounce it in Italy uh balonia is that it I don't know yeah I'm not Italian um so yeah university of baloney this was uh demonstrated and uh a few people saw it work someone who runs a website devoted to alternative energy says that he vouches for it oh yes of course because that's his be all and end all he's got to have something like that uh or he hasn't got anything to cling to and remember these people said they saw what appeared to them to be successful demonstration but what are their qualifications did they have any control over the demonstration itself did they have any any look at the innards of this thing no of course not because we gotta hold on to our secrets you know till we sell this off and then we move to to southern Spain or wherever uh and he says that uh they don't have to prove this to scientists they don't have to prove it to anyone but their customers well of course that their customers constitute a few scientists who might have something to say about that that might be a different matter altogether but again they probably won't allow them to really look at the innards of the thing all right so do you think that there's a future for um the e-cat machine and leonardo court i suspect not i'm always willing to be shown and uh i can be shown and the world can be shown but i i predict that as i said just a moment ago there that this man will probably go on the stock market and sell all kinds of shares and issue all kinds of wonderful reports left and right and um the reports will influence everybody and not everybody but those who have money to waste and uh they will invest in it and then gradually it will become apparent to everybody gee maybe it doesn't work now that's what i predict but then i'm not a very good prognosticator i can't even tell what tomorrow is but if i look at a calendar i can figure it out because i i depend on authority you see but it is a shame you know that people aren't better informed on matters like this that they don't actually go through the trouble of calling in a scientist of course they call it scientist after scientist after scientist until they get one who says well now it's not impossible oh that's what i want to hear they just want to get some sort of reassurance because they don't really want this to be true brand they need it to be true they need something they can spend their money on or invest their faith in or or their emotional security or whatever they have to invest they really need something like this and these people who invent these things almost overnight they they know that they understand human psychology the randy show is a
