(slight technical difficulties with the audio for the first 7 minutes)

(01:01) - Instagram has deactivated the Street TV Instagram page and it was almost at 50K followers. The Instagram bots claimed that the community guidelines were violated regarding “violence” but none of the last 7 post that were deleted was in violation. If you have a line on Instagram please contact Alex Alonso: https://www.streetgangs.com/contact/alexalonso/

(06:25) - A hater decided to post all the personal and public information of Alex Alonso after getting hit with copyright violations on his Youtube. You tube eventually deleted one of his Youtube channels for multiple copyright violations. When this user decided to “dox” Alex Alonso, he posted information that included his kids and wife’s personal information.

(14:40) There ARE NO arrests made in the death of Shanquella Robinson that occurred on October 28, 2022 in Mexico. There was a warrant issued for one of the "friends" of Ms. Robinson. What is the mom dealing with trying to get justice for her daughter? 

(25:00) Are we living in the most advanced technological times? Did we really land on the moon? 

(35:15) Patrick Clark was named as the shooter of rapper Takeoff of the group Migos. Houston police chief is disappointed that 30 witnesses did not come forward with information on the homicide. All the internet sleuths turned out to be wrong when no one thought Clark was the shooter. 

(1:00:45) Tory Lanez just begins trial in Los Angeles for shooting Megan Pete (Megan the Stallion). Did he shoot her? Was it an accident. How many interviews of Megan will come up in the trial.
