And welcome to Hot Mics on this hump-diddy-hump-hump-hump day, Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike hump day.
Alleigha Botner's lawyer is on today. Please behave yourself. This is the lawyer of Alleigha Botner, okay? It's not Alleigha Botner.
I'm gonna throw y'all ass in time out if I have to, okay? And you're gonna need a lawyer to get out of time out if you go nuts on this dude. He's the lawyer. I mean, Krista Pike is a stone cold killer. She has a lawyer. But anyway, his name is Nick Gounaris and he's nice enough to do it. We're gonna talk to him. You know, did she do it? Were she and Caleb truly in love?
How did he meet his client, Alleigha Botner? And where is she now? We believe she's living the dream in South Carolina. Okay, then there's new video, police interviews with some of the Chi Phi boys up at Cornell. So we'll get to that. But it's October 7th. Okay, can we upset the kids and tell the truth just for today? We can go back to live in the lies tomorrow.

What happened?
Billy Bush (1:24)
And what's been the result of what happened? I'll tell you what happened. Hamas attacked Israel and slaughtered 1200 people at the Novo Music Festival in Southern Israel. They took 251 hostages who were starved, raped, beaten.
Israel has killed 75,000 or so since. Yeah, that's militants and the civilians they use as human shields, mostly.
They're winning the war on the ground. And the war is with the Iranian axis of terror, not just Hamas, but Hezbollah and others too. Hamas has been decimated. Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas who started the whole thing, has been taken out. Hezbollah in Lebanon got the walkie-talkie attack one year after October 7th.
Nick Gounaris (2:17)
Wow.
Billy Bush (2:18)
They killed or maimed thousands, also no civilians, very few. They killed Hassan Nasrallah and his top lieutenants in Hezbollah, right in his compound. The last step, Iran and Israel moved there. Bibi Netanyahu got Trump to join him. And to those who say that's not our fight, I understand. It has become a quagmire. But like Hamas and Hezbollah, the supreme leader was taken out. The axis of evil is hobbled. Israel, however, is losing the PR war. Israel committing genocide in Gaza is the propaganda that the kids have been sold. Weak and desperate politicians here have peddled it. Kids in America celebrate terror attacks as resistance, led by posers like Macklemore and Mark Ruffalo. Many of the same young women protesting at Cornell tacitly support a terror group employing radical young violent men who hate women and abuse them in ways the Chi-Fi boys couldn't dream of. They're Jihadists. Anti-Semitism has been normalized in America. Israel is the litmus test for Democrats running for any office, city council, mayor, all the way up. Years ago on this day, none of that, none of what's happened seem possible. The world stood in solidarity with Israel. Joe Biden on his own two feet, and now Jihadists are cool. What the actual F. Trump has made it hard to be a devout Republican in this country with his personal failings for sure. Democrats have made it impossible with their failure on this, but things are definitely going their way.
It has more to do with the cost of living for Democrats and the adoption of the genocide lie by our militant children, but it's definitely a byproduct of what's looking like an inevitable midterm sweep. So my fellow traders on Kalshi, the balance of power in Congress is predicted at 64% to flip. Wow, a Republican sweep is at 9.6%, which is nuts. Republicans holding the Senate only at 24%, meaning no $5,000 checks from Trump. France is on fire in part because their citizens are outraged by their national debt at $4 trillion. Ours, a bonkers $40 trillion. And so we don't want the $5,000 check, guy. Remember on Kalshi, you're trading on what you think is gonna happen. It's just a prediction. So will the Democrats sweep Congress in the midterms? What do you think? A yes contract settles at $1 at 64 cents, $100, a C note, a Benjamin would buy me 1.56 contracts, which is basically 150 bucks. So I think I'll do it. Seems unlikely that the Republicans will hold the Senate unless old Susan Collins pulls it out against the guy who replaced the horny oyster farmer. Trade 25 bucks with code Hot Mics and Kalshi. You'll throw in another 25 instantly. Trade responsibly. All right.
It is a Hot Mics news alert. There's Lauren Mincer-Clark, our producer. Hello, Lauren, what's happening now?
So the cop is writing that the frat life is what's... Well, I mean, that's the thing. Fraternity life, of course, it's like almost impossible to... There's so much money behind it. Like we said, at Cornell, one third of the students are in the Greek system. And I think a lot of successful people that donate to the school were in the Greek system. They want to keep it going.
