Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 4: It is the.
Speaker 3: Last hour of our show, right up until eleven o'clock
Speaker 3: when Rich Demurow comes aboard with the text show. That's
Speaker 3: eleven to two and two to five this afternoon the
Speaker 3: Fok Report Neil Savedra, who is with me Monday through
Speaker 3: Friday on the morning show and is a real expert
Speaker 3: and a foody Extraordinay's cooked for me. Oh, the guy
Speaker 3: is amazing, he really is. And that's this afternoon at
Speaker 3: two o'clock. What else going on? Oh, phone numbers, I
Speaker 3: forgot to give you those eight hundred five two zero
Speaker 3: one five three four. Eight hundred five two zero one
Speaker 3: five three four top of the hour, of course, best
Speaker 3: time to call.
Speaker 2: And there's an hour.
Speaker 3: Left at the end of the show at eleven o'clock,
Speaker 3: give or take an hour from now. I will continue
Speaker 3: to take phone calls off the I don't know, thirty
Speaker 3: forty minutes until everybody's had a chance to ask question,
Speaker 3: because I certainly want to continue abusing you, because that's
Speaker 3: very important in my life. Eight hundred and five to
Speaker 3: zero one five three four This is handle on the law,
Speaker 3: marginal legal advice where I tell you have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: This is a story of the Trump administration, but sort
Speaker 3: of a sidebar story one of the aspects of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: And we've known this from day one. This is philosophy's
Speaker 3: entire life. You go after him, he goes after you
Speaker 3: twice as hard. That's a given. So there are two
Speaker 3: people that he is particularly upset with, then taking as
Speaker 3: much power of the federal government against these two people
Speaker 3: as he possibly could.
Speaker 2: One is Leticia James.
Speaker 3: She's the da of Manhattan, went after Donald Trump and
Speaker 3: actually got a conviction, a felony conviction against him in Manhattan.
Speaker 2: And the other one is James Comy.
Speaker 3: He was head of the FBI and went ahead and
Speaker 3: did the investigation of Donald Trump what he did wrong
Speaker 3: during his first term, and man, that gets the president
Speaker 3: pretty upset. So this was done in the Southern District
Speaker 3: of Virginia, and the US Attorney in the Southern District
Speaker 3: of Virginia was given the task by the Department of
Speaker 3: Justice to go after Leticia James and James Comy for well,
Speaker 3: I mean Leticia James for lying on her application for
Speaker 3: a housing loan or a home mortgage, saying she lived
Speaker 3: in one place and she actually lives someplace else. So
Speaker 3: they want to go and put her jail for twenty years.
Speaker 3: And then James Comy for lying in a congressional hearing,
Speaker 3: of which there's one witness that said he lied, and
Speaker 3: he says no, but it doesn't matter. We're going to
Speaker 3: go after James Coby. Okay, So you have the first
Speaker 3: prosecutor who's been assigned by the DOJ to go after
Speaker 3: Komy and Leticia James. Well, the prosecutor says there's nothing here,
Speaker 3: there's not enough evidence here, and refuses to go forward,
Speaker 3: and of course immediately fired. And after that, the Department
Speaker 3: of Justice then appoints a woman by the name of
Speaker 3: Lindsay Halligan, who had never spent one minute as a prosecutor.
Speaker 2: Never she was Trump's personal lawyer.
Speaker 3: She was a civil lawyer, not a moment in criminal court.
Speaker 3: She is now the US attorney in the Southern District
Speaker 3: of Virginia, and she gets an indictment against against excuse me,
Speaker 3: against the Komi and Leticia James. Now this was a
Speaker 3: temporary appointment because you need a confirmation.
Speaker 2: By the Senate.
Speaker 3: So hear are the rules that ibraiary appointment goes for
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty days and at that point it ends.
Speaker 3: And the rule is if that person stays in one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty days, then gone and the court now
Speaker 3: assigns a prosecutor.
Speaker 2: Well, it turned.
Speaker 3: Out that twenty days passed, she still continued on, and
Speaker 3: the court, on its own motion said, what are you doing.
Speaker 3: You're not a prosecutor here. You know, the rules are
Speaker 3: real simple. You're done. And so the judge dismissed her,
Speaker 3: saying you're done. You are not the prosecutor she and
Speaker 3: you are not a prosecutor at all. Well, the judge
Speaker 3: is now given her and ordered her to explain why
Speaker 3: she's still serving as US attorney, as the US attorney,
Speaker 3: because according to the DOJ, she's still the US attorney.
Speaker 3: According to her, she's still the US Attorney and she's not.
Speaker 3: And the court is just gone, oh no, no, this
Speaker 3: isn't right. And so it's the judge says, okay, you
Speaker 3: come in front of me. You have seven days to
Speaker 3: respond in writing and then in quotes, explaining the basis
Speaker 3: for identification of herself as the United States Attorney. Notwithstanding
Speaker 3: Judge Currey's contrary ruling, and you have to set forth
Speaker 3: the reason why this court should not strike your name,
Speaker 3: Halligan's name, identification of herself as US attorney from the
Speaker 3: indictment of this matter. She is not the attorney. The
Speaker 3: court tossed her out, all right, So much for that.
Speaker 3: That was a long one, but I wanted to come
Speaker 3: up with that a little bit wonky. But this is
Speaker 3: typical of what's going on in the Trump administration. If
Speaker 3: you go if you don't like him and you go
Speaker 3: after him, man, you're on the radar. You do not
Speaker 3: want to be on the radar. On the other hand,
Speaker 3: if you are an ally, for example, if you were
Speaker 3: one of the fifteen hundred people that overran the Capitol
Speaker 3: building that was a day of peace, and that's a
Speaker 3: quote from the president. And these were heroes and patriots
Speaker 3: who overran the Capitol. And then the pardons that have
Speaker 3: gone through. I mean, it's crazy time. It really is
Speaker 3: absolutely crazy. Okay, let me quickly tell you before we
Speaker 3: start taking phone calls and take a break. I want
Speaker 3: to tell you about handle on the law dot com.

Speaker 3: hundred five two zero one five three four and welcome back.
Speaker 3: Handle on the law marginal legal advice, Helen.
Speaker 2: You're up. Welcome Helen.
Speaker 5: Yes, my son and daughter in law for months were
Speaker 5: trying to make me go crazy. They were little things
Speaker 5: were missing from my house. Then he tried to have
Speaker 5: me sign away papers for my long term health insurance
Speaker 5: and I wouldn't do it, saying so he could have
Speaker 5: someone come in and take care of me when there
Speaker 5: was actually nothing wrong. So then last September I went
Speaker 5: on a trip with a friend of mine and I
Speaker 5: had my son take care of my dog. Well in
Speaker 5: that interim, I guess they got into my safe stole
Speaker 5: my life savings. There's really no proof because it was Cashie.
Speaker 3: How well we asked you were your life what do
Speaker 3: you mean in your safe? Was the life savings.
Speaker 5: It was a ground say if it was a ground safe.
Speaker 5: Just before I went on the trip, I had my
Speaker 5: daughter in law come into my office and I said,
Speaker 5: if something should happen.
Speaker 3: To me, okay, okay, okay, But what was in the
Speaker 3: safe that was your life saving?
Speaker 2: That's the question I have.
Speaker 4: Goal.
Speaker 2: Wow, how much.
Speaker 5: Over one hundred thousand, one.
Speaker 2: Hundred thousand dollars in cash and gold that is safe?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you understand clearly the problem here, and that is
Speaker 3: it's one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's not. Well, why wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: Be two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand dollars? You see,
Speaker 3: that's the point. And so yeah, so there's unfortunately there's
Speaker 3: no proof there or enough proof. And how do you
Speaker 3: prove that she went in there because maybe you're arguing
Speaker 3: she's the only one that had a ad the combination combination. Okay,
Speaker 3: so let's okay, So let's say she has access and
Speaker 3: if she says, no, the hell, it never gave me access,
Speaker 3: how do you prove it?
Speaker 2: That's the other problem you have.
Speaker 3: And then the issue of asking you to sign whatever
Speaker 3: documents you.
Speaker 2: Should say, no, exactly what you did that's it? You
Speaker 2: say no? So other than well, what's your question?
Speaker 5: The question is do I have a case for elder abuse?
Speaker 5: At least I now have a burglary report?
Speaker 2: No, now you I didn't. You had a burglar report,
Speaker 2: but you filed the burglar report.
Speaker 5: Right, yes, and the police did take fingerprints.
Speaker 2: But okay, so they don't care. They don't care. They
Speaker 2: don't care. I mean they are now. Unfortunately you don't.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately you have And by the way, this happens all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: I'm not tagging you for doing anything wrong, Helen. I
Speaker 2: have no problem calling people morons.
Speaker 3: I mean I do have a question of you keeping
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars in cash and gold in a
Speaker 3: safe while what let me ask a question, why what
Speaker 3: do you have against banks and brokerage?
Speaker 5: Okay, I had that, but at the time, for about
Speaker 5: twenty years, I just had put it in there because
Speaker 5: it had been safe all those the saints I putney in.
Speaker 4: Time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, let me ask you this.
Speaker 3: But let me ask you why was one hundred thousand
Speaker 3: dollars sitting in your safe and not at Schwab or
Speaker 3: Fidelity or your bank. What did you take money out
Speaker 3: of them out of your accounts and then transfer them
Speaker 3: into cash them in for cash and coins and gold.
Speaker 7: No, I just had it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just had it in there because I didn't
Speaker 5: trust the bank. But obviously I should have trusted them more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously I'm still confused as to, uh, where did
Speaker 3: you get that hundred thousand dollars and how did it
Speaker 3: show it in cash and gold?
Speaker 5: I I did just what you said every time.
Speaker 3: Okay, you took money out of your account and put
Speaker 3: it into Yeah, you don't, you don't. You really don't
Speaker 3: have You don't have much of a case. And this
Speaker 3: is when you know, now a lot of people have
Speaker 3: a lot of problems with brokerage accounts, and I get
Speaker 3: questions constantly about, hey, the bank screwed me over and
Speaker 3: the bank didn't pay the interests and it went into
Speaker 3: the wrong account, and there's always some way to get
Speaker 3: around it because there's a paper trail. You know, banks
Speaker 3: do not work with paper trails. Well, Bill, they put
Speaker 3: the money in the wrong account. Okay, Well there's the there.
Speaker 3: It is right there, cash and gold in a safe. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a little bit of a problem for sure. Russ, Hi, Russ, welcome.
Speaker 8: Here, Bill, we'll give a kind of a multi layered problem.
Speaker 8: So January first of twenty twenty four, I was involved
Speaker 8: in a slip and fall accident at work that ended
Speaker 8: up in injuries. I had to have surgery for About
Speaker 8: a month later, I was put onto an individual development
Speaker 8: program by the company I worked for. Okay, got it
Speaker 8: all right, I was, I was still working. I completed that.
Speaker 8: It took about five months to complete. I completed its successfully,
Speaker 8: hadn't had emy issues with my performance. After that, I
Speaker 8: also completed a standard array of training that everybody gets
Speaker 8: at that work place, and I believe it was June
Speaker 8: or July. So complete it the five months, uh, you know,
Speaker 8: individual program plus the standard program. About a month later,
Speaker 8: middle of August, I found out that I had to
Speaker 8: have surgery, uh to to fix uh the problem that
Speaker 8: had happened during the summer and fall accident. So right
Speaker 8: after I informed them of this, then in for me,
Speaker 8: I needed to go back on the individual to development program,
Speaker 8: which I wouldn't have had time for and I also
Speaker 8: had there was no reason for me to be on that. Now,
Speaker 8: going back a little bit before that, the manager that
Speaker 8: was there was there because all the employees were upset
Speaker 8: with the company because they had or the seales employees anyway,
Speaker 8: because they had cut our commissions. Everybody else in the
Speaker 8: company they either got raised as their stay the same,
Speaker 8: but they cut the sales people.
Speaker 3: Okay, and so okay, it's a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 3: So are you still working there? Have they fired you?
Speaker 2: What? No?
Speaker 8: No, they fired They fired me because I wouldn't wouldn't
Speaker 8: do the Uh. Oh, okay, because I didn't have time
Speaker 8: to and they.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, what do you mean, Hold on a minute.
Speaker 3: You didn't have time to because they wanted you to
Speaker 3: do this out of the normal working hours.
Speaker 8: Well, I was gonna have surgery, and the surgery involved
Speaker 8: me taking unsiderable abound of time off.
Speaker 2: In fact, you don't understand.
Speaker 4: I got that.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 3: You're talking about this additional training program they wanted you
Speaker 3: to do again. Uh, The question I have is was
Speaker 3: it during the work day or it was outside of
Speaker 3: your normal day.
Speaker 8: It would have been during the work day, but there
Speaker 8: weren't enough work days left before I was going to
Speaker 8: be out having surgery and off of work for me
Speaker 8: to complete this.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you didn't have no sick days left basically,
Speaker 3: but this is work comp I'm assuming, so yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: we're comp So what happened?
Speaker 2: So what happened to you?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 8: Well, I was I was collecting some lock boxes down
Speaker 8: in a drain.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I don't care. I don't care about that.
Speaker 3: What are you still working there? Are you not working there?
Speaker 3: Have you been fired?
Speaker 4: Did you? I'm not working there.
Speaker 8: I was fired, Okay, got aired and I was fired
Speaker 8: for some reason. Yeah, I'd never heard of before. I
Speaker 8: was never told that I would be terminated if I
Speaker 8: didn't let me.
Speaker 3: Here's the problem, Russ, here's the problem. In the state
Speaker 3: of California. You can be fired for any reason or
Speaker 3: no reason. They literally can say, you know what, we're
Speaker 3: not happy with Russ's attitude anymore.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to do this, but he's not cooperating.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this all happened. So this all happened after I
Speaker 8: was injured. And I also, this company has has gotten
Speaker 8: rid of quite a few of old of the older
Speaker 8: employees that work there.
Speaker 2: That's that's a different issue.
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about are did they use this because
Speaker 3: of elder discrimination?
Speaker 2: How old are you? Yes? How old are you?
Speaker 8: I am? I am sixty three?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you fall in it.
Speaker 3: But it's still where it's really difficult unless there's a pattern.
Speaker 3: They got rid of everybody over fifty five or fifty
Speaker 3: eight or whatever line.
Speaker 2: I think fifty five, not a.
Speaker 8: Few, and they've replaced them all with twenty somethings.
Speaker 2: All right, well, then there's something there.
Speaker 3: Okay, So okay, I'm gonna tell you to go to
Speaker 3: an employment discrimination attorney and at least find out where
Speaker 3: you sit.
Speaker 2: Seems to me there's something there. But who the hell knows?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 3: I mean, the law is really flaky. Oh really, handle, yes,
Speaker 3: it is all right. Let me ask something. Whenever you
Speaker 3: breathe on someone, right, we're having conversation, and all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, it looks like that painting the Scream by
Speaker 3: Edward Munsch ed vad Munch. You know that mouth drips
Speaker 3: way down horrible, that your breath is probably very bad.
Speaker 3: And if you care at all about fresh breath, and
Speaker 3: I mean feeling fresh breath in addition to breathing it
Speaker 3: out on people, let me suggest Zelman's minty mouth, and
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why. Zelman's minty mouth not only kills
Speaker 3: bad breath in your mouth, but also in your stomach,
Speaker 3: where bad breath actually can start because the food goes
Speaker 3: into your stomach, you know, the garlic, the onions go there,
Speaker 3: and let me tell you, it does smell. So Zelman's
Speaker 3: Mintymouth the beyond a mint little capsules that are covered
Speaker 3: with mint. You suck on the mint and then you
Speaker 3: bit or swallow the capsules and they go to work
Speaker 3: in your stomach, and no mint ever does that. So
Speaker 3: they have a until the end of the month free
Speaker 3: bonus pack of Zelman's is a nine dollars offer when
Speaker 3: you buy a three pack of the original peppermint flavor.
Speaker 2: A free bonus pack.
Speaker 3: And I've never seen this with a purchase of a
Speaker 3: three pack, And the only way to get this exclusive
Speaker 3: offer actually is to go to zelmans dot com slash
Speaker 3: kfi Zelman's z L M I n S zelmans dot

Speaker 9: I'm a travel agent and I have clients all over
Speaker 9: the country and one of my clients from Louisiana sued me,
Speaker 9: and a travel attorney told me, don't do anything. It's fine,
Speaker 9: they don't have jurisdiction. But he said, if it comes
Speaker 9: to California, where I live, then let me know. Well,
Speaker 9: it's come to California. I got served by an attorney
Speaker 9: in San Diego. That because I got a judgment in
Speaker 9: Louisiana against me because I didn't show up. And so
Speaker 9: I'm wondering. So I got this Now I got served,

Speaker 2: Okay, I served.
Speaker 9: I came to my house and I had to sign something.

Speaker 3: Oh okay, trying to get a sister state judgment. Okay,
Speaker 3: fair enough to inform you of it, all right, so
Speaker 3: you know what, it's probably going to go forward because
Speaker 3: those are fairly procedural.
Speaker 2: It's it's very difficult to very.
Speaker 3: Difficult to fight those because the judgment is already in place.
Speaker 3: So how much money is the judgment for?
Speaker 2: Forty thousand, forty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3: And what is it that you did that caused forty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a damage?
Speaker 5: Well, this is a very good client.

Speaker 9: to me. So I called my consolidator and I told
Speaker 9: him you can buy that. We have seats on the
Speaker 9: NonStop flight and you can buy those. And they were
Speaker 9: like fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3: you this. Forty thousand dollars and you spent He spent
Speaker 3: forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: He paid for it, well.
Speaker 9: He paid fifty one thousand for all five tickets and
Speaker 9: then my consolidator. Because the British Airways wouldn't talk to me,
Speaker 9: I told him to call the consolidator.
Speaker 2: Okay, how or.
Speaker 3: Let's go back, all right, Connie, let's go back to
Speaker 3: pre idiocy on your part and to another.
Speaker 2: Level of idiocy.
Speaker 3: How do you ignore a forty thousand dollars lawsuit that's
Speaker 3: filed in another state and you are served, you were
Speaker 3: physically served the lawsuit, otherwise the lawsuit is no good?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 9: That's what I don't know.
Speaker 3: You were never served, but you were never served the
Speaker 3: original lawsuit.
Speaker 2: Okay, you need a lawyers?
Speaker 9: Got something, We got something by ups from Louisiana and
Speaker 9: that's why the travel attorney.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You have to be physically served the document and it's
Speaker 3: and if you weren't served, then the whole lawsuit is
Speaker 3: bad and you got to quash the service, which means
Speaker 3: that the lawsuit is gone. You need a lawyer, boy,
Speaker 3: do you need a lawyer in Louisiana? And you have
Speaker 3: to do it. God, there's a ten thousand dollars one
Speaker 3: way to London and that's from a consolidator and for
Speaker 3: people don't know what a consolidator is. A consolidator buys
Speaker 3: blocks of tickets from the airline at a really reduced
Speaker 3: price and then turns around and resells them or sells
Speaker 3: them to people who are going to travel. You know,
Speaker 3: we're going to travel using that ticket. Usually that ticket
Speaker 3: is far less money. But you're not buying it directly
Speaker 3: from the airlines. You're buying it through this consolidators. It's
Speaker 3: a second tier purchase and you have a lot rights,
Speaker 3: but buying the amount of money is just just crazy
Speaker 3: making Wow. Okay, why don't we take a break? What
Speaker 3: do you think and come back and finish? Finish the
Speaker 3: show up while I go and grab something to eat
Speaker 3: or drink.
Speaker 2: So don't go away. What do you happen? What are
Speaker 2: you going to have? I don't even know. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go in the refrigerator. Probably have an English muffin or something.
Speaker 2: I am knowing bagels today, Yeah, I have bagels.
Speaker 3: I have bagels in the freezer. So I always have bagels.
Speaker 3: Always an emergency stash at bagels.
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it never fails. All right. This is handle on
Speaker 2: the law.
Speaker 3: KFI A M six forty bill handle here on a
Speaker 3: Saturday morning. It's the last segment of the show before
Speaker 3: we bail. But I'll keep on with morp phone calls
Speaker 3: off the air, and we'll for those of you that
Speaker 3: are hanging on. Believe me, I'm going to get to
Speaker 3: all of you. Not a problem. Welcome back. Handle on
Speaker 3: the law, marginal legal advice where I tell you you
Speaker 3: have absolutely no case.
Speaker 2: Curtis, Hi, Curtis, what can I do for you?
Speaker 6: Hey? Bill, I want to find out my son was
Speaker 6: in a motorcycle accident seven months ago. I'll try to
Speaker 6: do this without breaking down, but you're basically brain dead.
Speaker 6: He's basically brain dead right now. And you know a
Speaker 6: lady ran a stop sign, he hit the side of
Speaker 6: her car. He's never going to come back right now.
Speaker 6: They have him an arrest home, and they're trying to
Speaker 6: The insurance company is trying to settle for just a
Speaker 6: million dollars. And if I start settled with this settlement,
Speaker 6: they're telling me, then I can't turn around and resue
Speaker 6: these people personally.
Speaker 3: That is correct, you cannot, and so that's tough, all right,
Speaker 3: So what's your question?
Speaker 2: You have a million dollar settlement.
Speaker 6: Offer that million dollars, my son's going to be laying
Speaker 6: in this bed forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, okay, a couple of questions, all right, Uh,
Speaker 3: just uh, you know, practical questions in terms of, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, are you prepared to assuming that he can
Speaker 3: survive until you know he gets old? Are you prepared
Speaker 3: to live with a son who is brain dead for
Speaker 3: the rest.
Speaker 2: Of your life? Uh?
Speaker 3: And that's just by the way, there's not a real issue. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's just a legal issue with life support and organ donation,
Speaker 3: et cetera, which we're going to do it.
Speaker 2: We'll do that at another time.
Speaker 3: I just want to hit the legal stuff, the million
Speaker 3: dollar settlement and a lot of it. The case is
Speaker 3: worth a lot more than that, I'm sure. However, the
Speaker 3: million dollar settlement may be predicated on that's the amount
Speaker 3: of insurance there is.
Speaker 6: That's what they're saying.
Speaker 2: Yes, if that's you know, if that's.
Speaker 3: The insurance that exists, uh, there's no place to go, Curtis, No, No,
Speaker 3: You've got to take it, because once you accept the
Speaker 3: million dollars, then what happens is the insured that is
Speaker 3: the driver who is involved and is that fault is
Speaker 3: off the hook. That's what you buy insurance for they
Speaker 3: represent you. So you have to make absolutely sure that
Speaker 3: the policy is only a million dollars. When I say
Speaker 3: only in your case, only a million dollars, because normally
Speaker 3: a million dollar policy is just extraordinary, very very few
Speaker 3: people have million dollar policies.
Speaker 2: And you have to find out if that is.
Speaker 3: And I have to tell you it's you know, I
Speaker 3: hate to say this, but if the policy is a
Speaker 3: million dollars, the policy could have been minimal insurance fifteen
Speaker 3: thousand and thirty thousand, and you'd be looking at a
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars settlement, or if there's a twenty five fifty,
Speaker 3: you'd be looking at a twenty five thousand dollars settlement.
Speaker 2: So you want to look at the policy.
Speaker 3: You want your attorney to look at the policy and say,
Speaker 3: I want to make sure it's a million dollars.
Speaker 2: He should make he or she should make sure it's
Speaker 2: a million dollars.
Speaker 3: Otherwise there is some pretty good malepractice on your hands.
Speaker 3: And that's probably where you're gonna have to go on
Speaker 3: that one. And Curtis, you know, my heart breaks through you.
Speaker 3: I mean to have your kid go through that. And
Speaker 3: now at this point have you go through that because
Speaker 3: for you, not.
Speaker 6: Only that he's the single father of a six year
Speaker 6: old that I'm already.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't get it can't get worse.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, No, I see that. That's that's why I'm
Speaker 3: a huge fan of insurance. But you know, even two
Speaker 3: fifty five hundred. Uh, and that's what I have, two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars five hundred. And the way
Speaker 3: it works to fifty five hundred or fifteen thirty is
Speaker 3: that's the first number is for a single person involved
Speaker 3: in the accident, and the bigger number is for another
Speaker 3: person or more So, I have two fifty five hundred.
Speaker 3: So if one person is sueing me and wins or settles,
Speaker 3: that's two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and if it's
Speaker 3: multiple people is five hundred thousand dollars. Now I also
Speaker 3: have to have I also happen to have an umbrella
Speaker 3: policy on top of that, which is pretty important. But
Speaker 3: I'll talk about that at a different time.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know what I think?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Do we have time for one more?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Sure, I'll do a quick one here, Enrique. How are you? Enrique?
