Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And if peace does break out, it'll be another argument
Speaker 2: for no longer the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be
Speaker 2: renamed the Trump Peace Prize, of which he will be
Speaker 2: the first recipient. By the way, on his face on
Speaker 2: the call on the coin, yeah, yeah, exactly. And now
Speaker 2: handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle
Speaker 2: handle morning crew. As we now start a Taco Tuesday,
Speaker 2: October the seventh.
Speaker 3: It's not only Taco Tuesday, it's National Taco Day.
Speaker 2: Oh so it's a combination. One becomes a I wouldn't
Speaker 2: say a holiday, a registered How do they describe that
Speaker 2: because it's not a holiday, it's not a national They
Speaker 2: actually are two different kinds of days. One Congress declares it,
Speaker 2: which is why we have hundreds of days. If you
Speaker 2: look at what October seventh is not only National Taco Day,
Speaker 2: but if you look at what else it is, there
Speaker 2: are dozens and dozens National Hamburger Day, National Parvo Day,
Speaker 2: you know, National Pancreatic Cancer Day. It's just there's days
Speaker 2: and days and days. So what are the other days?
Speaker 2: By the way, do you have the list of that,
Speaker 2: by the Incidentally.
Speaker 4: All the food days are all food days. There's probably
Speaker 4: seven of them today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I'm sure there are literally are dozens. So
Speaker 2: there's two kinds. There are the kinds that are legitimately
Speaker 2: and they have to be voted in by Congress, which
Speaker 2: of course is on the consent calendar. Someone just throws
Speaker 2: that up there and everybody says yes. Then there are
Speaker 2: days that are manufactured. I was once doing a commercial
Speaker 2: for a company and they sold a product, I think
Speaker 2: it was Will's or whatever, and it was National Will Day, right,
Speaker 2: And I said, really, National Will Day? And who came
Speaker 2: up with that one? All we did? And did Congress
Speaker 2: ever say ny about? No? No, we just sort of
Speaker 2: made it up. So those are the different ones. National
Speaker 2: Hamburger Day, which also is national. There's a National Cheeseburger Day,
Speaker 2: which is different than National Hamburger Day. Indeed, there's National
Speaker 2: Cheeseburger done Animal Style Day, double double.
Speaker 4: And where was the cheeseburger invented? Pasadena?
Speaker 2: The cheeseburger was invented Pasadena.
Speaker 4: I think so by a young kid.
Speaker 2: You're telling me that ground beef, which has been around forever.
Speaker 2: And then a piece of cheese on it. A kid
Speaker 2: invented that in Pasadena and what eight a D.
Speaker 4: No, it's actually not that that long ago. But yeah,
Speaker 4: somebody said, put it, put it, Put a slice of
Speaker 4: cheese on that bad boy, and then and then the
Speaker 4: heavens opened.
Speaker 2: And so sounds a little bit out there, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a sort of urban MYTHI.
Speaker 4: Ish, I'm the fing fork reporter. You better have some
Speaker 4: respect anyway, Morning Neil, good morning, Willie Wolf.
Speaker 3: Good morning, and then aiming morning, good morning Bill. It's
Speaker 3: also National Forgiveness and Happiness Day.
Speaker 2: Well that leaves me out.
Speaker 3: Okay, how about National Frope Day.
Speaker 2: I'm not big on Frape's? What else? Nationalrape? What?
Speaker 3: National led Light Day?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: L E D Light Day?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hoping you're going to say LSD Light No,
Speaker 2: not ls No.
Speaker 3: National Inner Beauty Day.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is. What is in
Speaker 2: her beauty? Explain that to me?
Speaker 3: Okay, how about this one you matter to me day?
Speaker 2: See now we're getting vomitous. I mean, really, who comes
Speaker 2: up with that? I can see Hamburger Day. I can
Speaker 2: certainly see Taco Day. I can certainly see National let
Speaker 2: us Day.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Willie Wolf. Yes, the year was nineteen twenty
Speaker 4: four and the road was part of Route sixty six.
Speaker 4: That is entire This is urban Myth came to Pasadena
Speaker 4: trying drawing your pal in a microwave Sturban Myth was
Speaker 4: working as his dad's at his dad's restaurant in southwest
Speaker 4: corner of Colorado nineteen.
Speaker 2: Twenty four, Cheeseburger Day. All right, yeah, that's just insanity.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, Mystery.
Speaker 2: Urban Myth Gurbil in the operating room, Richard gear open,
Speaker 2: you know who created the cheese gerbil and where was it?
Speaker 4: Gets Richard?
Speaker 2: Where was it created? No, we're not going to go
Speaker 2: into that, all right, And there is the Hello Kono, Hello,
Speaker 2: and good morning. Good morning Bill and Mike Morris and
Speaker 2: little Bill, good morning. I finally got your name, Mike.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, good for you.
Speaker 2: How long have you been? How long have you been
Speaker 2: with KFI? By the way, because I have, frankly no
Speaker 2: idea who you are.
Speaker 1: Well, that's okay, I kind of know who you are, though. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: no I'm kidding. Really unfortunately, I worked with you, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday before in the mid nineties and then
Speaker 1: was off KFI.
Speaker 4: For a while. A long while, and then.
Speaker 1: I came back to the station a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Now, why would you do that?
Speaker 1: I wasn't my decision the radio gods, let's put it
Speaker 1: that way. I was just working on other stations in
Speaker 1: and around Lost Angelis and then came back to kf
Speaker 1: I two years ago. Oh that's wonderful. Welcome aboard. That
Speaker 1: sounds sincere.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we have it's National BNA hole Day.
Speaker 2: It's not that is my celebration. All right, guys, let's do.
Speaker 4: Asshole gift.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's time for Handle on the News with Amy
Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story. Closing time. Airports all over
Speaker 2: the country have shut down because the lack of staffing
Speaker 2: control tower employees UH and air traffic controllers. The big
Speaker 2: one is Hollywood Bird Bank. That's the one that's being covered.
Speaker 2: A shut down Hollywood Bird Bank completely, no flights in,
Speaker 2: no flights out. And uh Hollywood b Bank, which is
Speaker 2: right around the corner from us. They said that uh
Speaker 2: oh the tower was closed was due to UH staffing.
Speaker 2: According to an audio recording.
Speaker 3: They they had no air traffic controllers there. They had
Speaker 3: somebody out of San Diego, three act. Let me get
Speaker 3: the name of that out of San Diego was handling
Speaker 3: the air traffic control. So there were some cancelations and
Speaker 3: there were some delays, but it didn't it didn't close.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just looking at a story CNN where, uh,
Speaker 2: there was one of the pilots I was radioing air
Speaker 2: traffic control tower and according to an audio received by
Speaker 2: Live atc dot Net that CNN's reporting, the recording said
Speaker 2: the tower is closed due to staffing. Okay, towers closed,
Speaker 2: got ya? And uh, all right.
Speaker 4: From what I actually as a pilot, I just I can't.
Speaker 2: Hi towers closed. So I think they have a flight
Speaker 2: rules when there are no air traffic controllers. I've been
Speaker 2: on airplanes and landed at airports where there were no
Speaker 2: air traffic controllers, and there's a whole procedure that you
Speaker 2: have to do.
Speaker 4: So the left turn is the arm out the window.
Speaker 2: Pretty much pretty much. I mean, wow, it's just crazy.
Speaker 2: It's coming back. But this is this government shut down.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk a lot more about that because
Speaker 2: it's starting to really hit home. And then coming up
Speaker 2: at seven, I'm gonna explain exactly what is at State
Speaker 2: because it's not what you really think it is. It
Speaker 2: isn't that simple. And I'll explain that at seven twenty.
Speaker 2: Moving on doing.
Speaker 3: Whatever it takes, President Trump said he would consider invoking
Speaker 3: the Insurrection Act to send military into cities if courts
Speaker 3: block his deployment of National Guard troops. As we know,
Speaker 3: a judge on Saturday said no, you can't send troops
Speaker 3: into Portland from the Oregon National Guard, and then expanded that.
Speaker 3: When Trump tried to end around it and send California
Speaker 3: National Guard troops, the judge said, no, you can't send
Speaker 3: any troops from anywhere. So he said, so far it
Speaker 3: hasn't been necessary, but we do have an Insurrection Act
Speaker 3: for a reason. He would enacted if he had to.
Speaker 3: It's been invoked thirty times in American history, giving the
Speaker 3: president power to deploy US armed services to suppress rebellions
Speaker 3: and civil unrest.
Speaker 2: Now legitimately it was used to suppress rebellion and civil unrest,
Speaker 2: last one being nineteen ninety two, when Governor Pete Wilson
Speaker 2: asked the President to come in with federal troops because
Speaker 2: of the riots, the Rodney King riots that certainly looked
Speaker 2: like an insurrection to me, certainly looked like a riot.
Speaker 2: He is now talking about coming in because of what's
Speaker 2: happening locally in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, and he's
Speaker 2: deeming that an insurrection, a rebellion against the United States.
Speaker 2: Court's going to shut that one down too, And I
Speaker 2: guarantee you, I guarantee you that's not going to be upheld.
Speaker 4: You don't find any irony at all that Donald Trump
Speaker 4: is talking about enacting an insurrection. Nothing January sixth, nothing.
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't an insurrection. That was a peaceful demonstration.
Speaker 2: Why everybody, That's why everybody was pardoned.
Speaker 4: Still to this day, I think is one of the
Speaker 4: biggest black eyes on American history. But you know, keep
Speaker 4: in mind, we could use those words in that but.
Speaker 2: If there was, if there was, let's say there was
Speaker 2: a riot. Let me give you an example. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: maybe hyperbolic, and I don't know how far fetched it is.
Speaker 2: As we go to twenty twenty eight, let's say, and
Speaker 2: this is not Trump doing this, Let's say there is
Speaker 2: a genuine movement to extend another term to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't doubt this may happen
Speaker 2: because there are fanatic Trump followers and now there are
Speaker 2: legitimate riots in the streets because of his that he
Speaker 2: will not be able to run whatever. Would that be
Speaker 2: an insurrection? Never, that is upholding the constitution. That's the problem.
Speaker 2: What those people did on January sixth is upheld the
Speaker 2: Constitution of the United States. There's a difference. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's beyond irony. It is scary, is what it is.
Speaker 2: And we'll see if this it's going to go to
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, if he does invoke the Insurrection Act,
Speaker 2: and we'll see. I can't I can't imagine the court
Speaker 2: allowing him just to say it's an insurrection and it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what it is. He has the power to
Speaker 2: say this is an insurrection. Uh. The police chief in
Speaker 2: Portland said, when you talk about the quote the riots
Speaker 2: in Portland, it's one street, it's encompassed in one major
Speaker 2: city block, and that is an insurrection.
Speaker 4: Do you think he misspoke and he met intersection? Yeah?
Speaker 4: All right, all right, fight fight, fight, fight, fight, you've
Speaker 4: got tausman. Majordy Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, just yesterday was
Speaker 4: challenging Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican to a debate. He says,
Speaker 4: let's let's get this out in the open. Let's debate
Speaker 4: the government shut down. Let's do it on the floor
Speaker 4: of the Lower Chamber. And he also requested primetime, nationally
Speaker 4: televised debate. So let's talk about this government shutdown. Let's
Speaker 4: say you know, we're approaching a week. Let's let's get
Speaker 4: into it.
Speaker 2: Yep. And I'm going to get into it at seven
Speaker 2: twenty because usually this would be an easy one to answer,
Speaker 2: continuing resolution until we figure out what we're going to
Speaker 2: do with the budget, let's just keep on going the
Speaker 2: way it is, easy peasy, boy. This one has a
Speaker 2: lot more pieces and both sides are right, both sides
Speaker 2: are wrong, and a little bit of history too. I'm
Speaker 2: going to dive into at seven.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you be interested in watching a debate between the
Speaker 3: two of them, because I'm seeing Jeffries is talking and
Speaker 3: saying one thing, Johnson is talking saying a complete opposite.
Speaker 3: They're both I mean, they're looking at the same picture
Speaker 3: and have two different takeaways from it. I would love
Speaker 3: to see them go back and forth on it and
Speaker 3: see because I don't know what's in the what is it?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'll explain it at seven twenty. There is
Speaker 2: it is to it. But what I'd like to do
Speaker 2: is not just see them go at it in terms
Speaker 2: of a debate. I'd like to see him in a fistfight.
Speaker 2: Oh one of those I vote for Jeffries, you know,
Speaker 2: knocking a crap out of Johnson.
Speaker 4: You'd hit a guy with glasses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, especially if he was smaller than me
Speaker 2: and half a wimp, which I think Johnson is. And
Speaker 2: I get the feeling that Jeffries is. We know, I
Speaker 2: don't know the background of Hakem Jeffries and he grow up,
Speaker 2: you know, fighting in the hood or where where he
Speaker 2: came from. Did he come from a wealthy family in
Speaker 2: the middle class family. I don't know. It depends on
Speaker 2: you know, where people come from. A lot of African
Speaker 2: American You know, a lot of African Americans come from
Speaker 2: the hood. And if you look at statistically, did Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson or the Hakim Jeffreys And by the way, that
Speaker 2: is just statistics talking, So leave me alone.
Speaker 4: Just a quick question. When you get pulled over and
Speaker 4: the cop says, put your hands on the hood, do
Speaker 4: you put it on the one in the car, the
Speaker 4: one on your head? You put it on the hood
Speaker 4: up in the air.
Speaker 2: You envision a hood three feet above you, and you
Speaker 2: grab for that hood is what you do.
Speaker 4: It's okay, grand dragon, go ahead, all right, moving on.
Speaker 5: He grew up in Brooklyn. Maybe they can fight on
Speaker 5: the White House lawn for the UFC eightieth birthdays. Good idea,
Speaker 5: h Gallaene's not getting out for now. The Supreme Court
Speaker 5: has rejected an appeal from Gallaine Maxwell. She's, of course
Speaker 5: the woman survey twenty year sentence. She used to be
Speaker 5: tied closely to Jeffrey Epstein. The justices declined to take
Speaker 5: up the case.
Speaker 3: She had argued that she should have never been tried
Speaker 3: or convicted for helping to lure teenage girls in to
Speaker 3: be sexually abused by Epstein because of immunity granted to him.
Speaker 3: But she's got a twenty year prison term. She was
Speaker 3: moved to a low security prison after she was interviewed
Speaker 3: by Deputy Attorney General.
Speaker 2: Here's the question, is Trump going to pardon her? He
Speaker 2: is equivocal about that. He's asked over and over again.
Speaker 2: He goes, I don't know. I have to look at it. Now.
Speaker 2: We do know. After the conversation with the Deputy Attorney General,
Speaker 2: she was moved from a medium security prison to a
Speaker 2: prison camp. And that is almost that never happens with
Speaker 2: convicted child molesters.
Speaker 4: And they gave her some poison, a gun with one bullet,
Speaker 4: a rope.
Speaker 2: No, not quit your cell, not quite all right?
Speaker 4: Trump talking about the government shut down, he says he's
Speaker 4: open to some talks. Just kind of crack the door open,
Speaker 4: ever so slightly. He says, we have negotiations going on
Speaker 4: right now with the Democrats that could lead to very
Speaker 4: good things. But and he said this was in regard
Speaker 4: to healthcare in particular. But he said, really, we've got
Speaker 4: to open the government first.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, so he shut the door again, open
Speaker 2: and then shut, and then just a little bit of
Speaker 2: l like totally yeah, but it's shut down. It really is.
Speaker 2: He's back to the republican position. He is a Republican
Speaker 2: and we're going to talk more. Not only is a
Speaker 2: part of it about health care. It's all about health care.
Speaker 2: And again, I keep on pushing seven twenty will be
Speaker 2: the topic when I cover.
Speaker 3: This doctor or doc. The new acting director of US
Speaker 3: Centers for Disease Control and Prevent has announced changes to
Speaker 3: recommendation vaccine schedules for adults when it comes to COVID
Speaker 3: nineteen and for kids when it comes to chicken pox.
Speaker 3: For adults, it's saying the decision on whether you should
Speaker 3: get the vaccine should be based on your individual based
Speaker 3: decision making in consult and consultation with a doctor. The
Speaker 3: CDC has officially lifted its recommendation that adults under sixty
Speaker 3: five get the vaccine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all over the place. It's just crazy, you
Speaker 2: know it changes. Did anybody see us the sixty minute
Speaker 2: piece this past Sunday. There is a store all vaccinety.
Speaker 2: There is a vaccine story, and I think we should
Speaker 2: do it. There's something called vaccine Court that the government has.
Speaker 2: It's legitimately vaccine court. And these are people that have
Speaker 2: reacted to vaccines negatively and they're not suing the manufacture
Speaker 2: of the vaccine. What they're doing is going into vaccine court.
Speaker 2: It's like a no fault like workers comp no fault
Speaker 2: like the City of California. It's you go in front
Speaker 2: of administrative judge and did it happen, did it not happen?
Speaker 2: Was it at work? Was it not work? And then
Speaker 2: there is the statutory money that you get and we
Speaker 2: have to do it because it is fascinating as to
Speaker 2: how that works. Literally vaccine court. I was looking at this,
Speaker 2: I went, wow, that's impressive. That's kind of interesting. We're
Speaker 2: going to end up doing that.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So it's price of parking when you
Speaker 4: can find it in Los Angeles is going up. Meter
Speaker 4: prices will jump by fifty cents per hour for the
Speaker 4: city's thirty five thousand paid spaces, so the new cost
Speaker 4: is expected to be in effect by the end of
Speaker 4: this month, and the Department of Transportation says the current
Speaker 4: prices range from a buck to eight point fifty per hour,
Speaker 4: depending on the location. But it was passed by the
Speaker 4: city council. Yeah, why not horrible, but I still just
Speaker 4: a pain.
Speaker 2: You know. It hasn't been raised in ten years, so
Speaker 2: it's time prices now, I didn't know this. Meter prices
Speaker 2: in general are going to go at fifty cents an hour, okay,
Speaker 2: not the end of the not the end of the world.
Speaker 2: So currently they're a dollar to eight fifty per hour.
Speaker 2: Where do you pay eight dollars and fifty cents an
Speaker 2: hour for parking on the street on a meter?
Speaker 4: No, all over the place?
Speaker 2: Oh seriously, eight fifty an hour on a parking meter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you use your credit card, your debit.
Speaker 2: Well, obviously you're using a credit card. I mean, let's
Speaker 2: say you're buying two hours. Are you going to put
Speaker 2: in sixteen dollars seventeen dollars in quarters?
Speaker 4: Well, see, that's the crazy thing, is like when you
Speaker 4: only need a small amount. Nobody has quarters anymore because
Speaker 4: everything's well over a dollar to park.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't have any quarters. I use them
Speaker 2: all at strip clubs.
Speaker 4: Jeez, they're all the dancers are ow ow, mister handelepleet
Speaker 4: ow right now, Moving.
Speaker 3: On surprise, another lawsuit against Trump and Illinois and Chicago
Speaker 3: both filed suit to block the deployment of the National
Speaker 3: Guard to Chicago. The lawsuit says it needs the temporary
Speaker 3: restraining order because deployment would cause additional unrest and mistrust
Speaker 3: of police and would harm the state's economy. Now, a
Speaker 3: judge declined to issue that temporary restraining order yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 3: and troops are on their way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they'll hear it. I mean, the court will
Speaker 2: hear it. But this is a judge, and this unusual.
Speaker 2: Usually a judge would halt this pending a determination on
Speaker 2: the facts went the other way. This is both the
Speaker 2: state and the city are suing to stop the deployment,
Speaker 2: but the deployment has amy. Just that is happening.
Speaker 4: All right. Back in twenty twenty, if you remember, the
Speaker 4: high profile position in the opinion section of the New
Speaker 4: York Times was held by Bari Weiss, and they left
Speaker 4: because of bullying. And she said that her colleagues and
Speaker 4: it was a hostile work environment and all those things. Well,
Speaker 4: she started the Free Press. It's been around for about
Speaker 4: four years, a digital news platform, and it's been purchased
Speaker 4: by Paramount. And so now she is going to be
Speaker 4: the editor in chief of CBS News, they announced yesterday,
Speaker 4: and they're going to try and scratch back, you know,
Speaker 4: at a true journalistic editorial standards.
Speaker 2: Tadah, Yeah, I mean, are you know back do you
Speaker 2: remember four years ago Barry Weiss or Bari Weiss. Of
Speaker 2: course we all remember who barr Weiss was.
Speaker 3: Who's barr Weiss?
Speaker 2: Who the hell knows?
Speaker 4: Well, she's gonna build journalistic standards, mister, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: More officials doubling up under Trump. Social Security Administration Commissioner
Speaker 3: Frank bissig Nano will also take on the newly and
Speaker 3: just applauded me on that will take on the newly
Speaker 3: created role of Chief Executive Officer of the Internal Revenue Service.
Speaker 3: So Bisignano was the CEO of the payment's multinational FI
Speaker 3: Serve before being confirmed as the head of Social Security
Speaker 3: in May. So he's going to double up and then
Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is going to stay the acting
Speaker 3: Commissioner of the IRS.
Speaker 2: Did the Trump lenitization cut funding to the IRS? I'm
Speaker 2: trying to think yes.
Speaker 3: During the doze stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which I've always wondered why the i r
Speaker 2: S isn't so fully funded because it makes money for
Speaker 2: the government. It is the the government's collector of tax money,
Speaker 2: and you'd want to increase its ability to collect tax
Speaker 2: as opposed to decrease.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I can't remember, but it feels I think so.
Speaker 2: I think I think funding for the i r S
Speaker 2: was cut if I'm not mistaken, and I could be
Speaker 2: wrong on that. So when the when the emails come,
Speaker 2: Oh Ann is looking this up right now, and while
Speaker 2: we're waiting, Dude.
Speaker 3: I'm going to wait till answer it, because I thought
Speaker 3: that they cut the funding that was added by the
Speaker 3: last ad.
Speaker 2: Minute that could be. That could be, And I don't
Speaker 2: know the answer. And Ann is coming up with the
Speaker 2: answer right now, and she is going to tell us. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: he has not. Okay, yeah, that was a question. All right,
Speaker 2: he has not. He has not cut the fund this
Speaker 2: went around. Huh no, not this time around.
Speaker 5: It says former President Donald Trump oversaw a period of
Speaker 5: chronic underfunding for the IRS during his presidency.
Speaker 2: Right, well, I don't know what that means. Saw a
Speaker 2: period of underfunding? Was that put in by the Biden administration?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, the bomb?
Speaker 2: What I did?
Speaker 4: Clever clever girl. Hey, if you remember the senior member
Speaker 4: of LA Mayor Bass, Karen Bass, her staff was just
Speaker 4: sentenced to a year of probation and fifty hours of
Speaker 4: community service. Why calling in a fake bomb threat? He
Speaker 4: told the judge it stemmed from mental health issues, And yeah, what.
Speaker 2: Else are gonna they throw that at the judge? No
Speaker 2: matter what, no matter what, it's either abused as a
Speaker 2: child or mental health issues. It's never It was stupid
Speaker 2: and rotten, and I was I decided I was going
Speaker 2: to be in an a hole.
Speaker 4: He is Brian Williams, Black Bill, do you want to
Speaker 4: maybe reference whether he grew grew up in the ghetto.
Speaker 2: And you know, I have to tell you, I'm never mind.
Speaker 2: I want to go there, and I'm sure we're gonna
Speaker 2: get emails.
Speaker 4: And it's like, it's weird you have two sets of teeth,
Speaker 4: two lips, and only one tone. Yet it still gets
Speaker 4: out it it still gets past those things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know. So by the way, it's
Speaker 2: I'd love to know if what I said was true.
Speaker 2: Just by the way, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: repeat that because it's said I'm gonna get hassle, mainly
Speaker 2: from Neil. All right, moving on something fishy.
Speaker 3: Law enforcement are saying, uh, so far, it doesn't look
Speaker 3: like this fire was intentionally set. But a fire engulfed
Speaker 3: the home of a state judge and a former Democratic
Speaker 3: state senator in South Carolina. It happened and on Saturday,
Speaker 3: three people had to go to the hospital. Property record
Speaker 3: show the home is owned by Circuit Court judge Diane
Speaker 3: Goodstein and her husband, Arnold Goodstein, a former Democratic state senator.
Speaker 2: Did you see the video of this house on fire?
Speaker 2: Fully evolved? I mean it looked like it was in
Speaker 2: a movie.
Speaker 4: Like Gone with a wind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really impressive, just to say the least.
Speaker 2: And they're saying it's probably not Arson. Everybody assumed it
Speaker 2: was Arson because here.
Speaker 4: Is a time it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and also the assumption now it's Arson. Yeah,
Speaker 2: assumption is I make certain assumptions.
Speaker 4: I won't mention them, but yes, we do assume. So
Speaker 4: family members of Celesti Revas Hernandez. She's the fourteen year
Speaker 4: old girl that was found dismembered in the trunk of
Speaker 4: that impounded tesla owned by that multi platinum R and
Speaker 4: B singer David This still captures a lot of people's
Speaker 4: curiosity because there has been no direction as to what's
Speaker 4: going on with this. It was but you know, you
Speaker 4: think back she was so that she's like fourteen or
Speaker 4: fifteen or whatever is she now, but she was thirteen
Speaker 4: when she went missing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they found her because she was in that
Speaker 2: car his tesla, and she had been there for a while.
Speaker 2: Decomposing him is horrific, and I think he moved out.
Speaker 2: So he moved out. He's gone from that property and
Speaker 2: there was a lease there and I'm sure there's going
Speaker 2: to be all kinds of LEAs, all kinds of legal
Speaker 2: issues there. He has not been connected to that at at.
Speaker 3: This point, West.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't look like it.
Speaker 3: What you don't think he's connected to it somehow.
Speaker 2: I don't think they have connected him, I said. He
Speaker 2: has not yet been connected From what we're hearing.
Speaker 3: He is said to be cooperating with investigators.
Speaker 2: Okay, and do we get in rap from what I
Speaker 2: understand and his name D four VD. It's a big
Speaker 2: fan of of ven aial disease clearly in Okay, moving on.
Speaker 3: Finally, the trial is starting more than four years after
Speaker 3: the family of deceased Angels pitcher Tyler Skag filed their
Speaker 3: wrongful death lawsuit against the Angels. Jury selections getting underway.
Speaker 3: Skag's widow, Carly and his parents are seeking at least
Speaker 3: two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings and damages.
Speaker 3: They contend that the Angels were responsible for the death
Speaker 3: of the twenty seven year old left handed pitcher. It
Speaker 3: happened back on July first of twenty nineteen. He snorted
Speaker 3: some crushed pills that had fentanyl in them in a
Speaker 3: hotel room during a team road trip in Texas.
Speaker 2: They're asking and there's a real issue because it was
Speaker 2: who was it on the team that gave him the drugs?
Speaker 3: The communication director.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the allegation is the team knew about it,
Speaker 2: management knew that it was happening. So that's that's the problem.
Speaker 2: Obviously for the team he's asking for or they're asking
Speaker 2: for two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings
Speaker 2: and damages. Now you have a twenty seven year old
Speaker 2: picture and you're asking two hundred and what ten million dollars?
Speaker 2: How I'm just doing the math here. How long would
Speaker 2: the average twenty seven year old picture last in the
Speaker 2: major leagues? Maybe another four years? And I don't know
Speaker 2: what he was making. I'm sure he wasn't making forty
Speaker 2: million dollars a year, So the numbers always are huge
Speaker 2: in a pre trial hearing. Now the plaintiffs are asking
Speaker 2: for a billion dollars, but this is what lawyers do
Speaker 2: in any case. It is a horrific story. He snorted
Speaker 2: crush pills in a hotel room in Texas on during
Speaker 2: a game.
Speaker 3: He was making three point seven million a year.
Speaker 2: It certainly isn't a billion dollars in damages, But then
Speaker 2: you also have the wrongful death aspect of it. Too
