Two veteran Baltimore broadcasters. Two perspectives. One platform. Join Yuripzy Morgan and Torrey Snow for honest conversations about the issues that matter—local, national, and everything in between.
Andy Harris LOSES IT on Voters & Student Reporter | MD Sample Ballots Missing Question 3
Torrey Snow and Yuripzy Morgan break down a rough week for Maryland’s Andy Harris after a Cambridge forum where he blamed Democrats for high diesel prices (amid the Iran war) and then threatened a student reporter over recording in a public press gaggle, misapplying the state’s two-party wiretap law. They cover Anne Arundel County’s ~350,000 sample ballots that omitted State Questions 2 and 3 (including the redistricting/gerrymandering amendment) plus local measures, the optics around election officials’ “legible, not overwhelming” explanation, and why Question 3 matters. Next is the Bend, Oregon, elementary school shooting where a father (Kaylub Giamanco) with a legal .40-caliber and a teacher’s intervention stopped a 16-year-old shooter in roughly three minutes after three children and a teacher were killed. Finally, they examine Wes Moore’s late executive directive for a Department of Juvenile Services pilot on youth car theft after recent deadly incidents, calling it reactive rather than anticipatory leadership.

12-Year-Old Kills Man & Walks Free?! Mayor’s Office Letter Helped Free a Shooter Who Killed Another 12yo
Torrey Snow and Yuripzy Morgan break down Maryland’s juvenile justice disaster: a 12-year-old driving a stolen car ran a red light and killed 69-year-old Barry White Sr. on a motorcycle, yet faces no real charges under the 2022 Juvenile Justice Reform Act (pushed by then-Sen. Jill Carter). Vehicular manslaughter isn’t treated as a “crime of violence,” so kids under 13 skate. They cover Ivan Bates’s frustration, other recent cases (stolen cars hitting an MTA bus, a 58-year-old, and a 3-year-old), and why “rehab over accountability” is failing.
They then dig into the MONSE (Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement) character letter that helped get a man—convicted of shooting someone in the face—released early. Eight days later he was involved in a shooting at a football game that killed an innocent 12-year-old with a short-barreled rifle. Calls for IG investigation and scrutiny of Brandon Scott’s office.
Also discussed: Pete Hegseth’s proposal for a public, live-streamed firing-squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan) at Fort Hood (around Dec. 3, 1 p.m.), optics vs. deterrence, and JD Vance’s reaction. Plus Wes Moore’s refusal in the debate with Dan Cox to commit to a full four-year term if reelected, what that means for Aruna Miller and the state, and a short Patreon exclusive clip with Green Party gubernatorial candidate Andy Ellis on the Key Bridge.

FBI Raids a School Board Member’s Nonprofit | Moore Wants You to Pay His Lawyers
Torrey Snow and Yuripzy Morgan open on the FBI search of KEYS Empowers, the nonprofit run by Mujahid Muhammad, the school commissioner Mayor Brandon Scott appointed in 2023. He resigned the day agents hit the Liberty Road building. They walk through the $1 million American Rescue Plan “healing village” that still looks like a 2025 coming-soon sign, the state health inspector general already telling the group to give back a chunk of roughly $824,000 in grants spent on VR sets, furniture, and college tuition, and why 7,000-plus Baltimore nonprofits have not cleaned up the blocks.
Then Maryland taxpayers may be asked on October 7 for about $550,000 in outside counsel on top of the Attorney General’s defense, after Wes Moore went on MSNBC’s The Weeknight and tied Baltimore Sun co-owner David Smith to Jeffrey Epstein and falsely claimed Smith bought the paper to do Donald Trump’s work.
They pick up last week’s Deryl Bright Jr. case: seven months on an ankle monitor after a principal ID and a warrant that had him seven inches short, and why Ivan Bates is the only official who has owned the failure.
They close on Kelly Carnes, the new Baltimore Rock Opera Society director fired days after a Burning Man braid style was called cultural appropriation, and the CROWN Act irony.
