  Speaker 1: No good story ever begins with these words. A Florida man, see,

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: jury found a Florida man, naturally two Florida man guilty

  Speaker 1: on all charges in the murder for higher killing of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old girl who reported a sexual assault
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: one day before her death because they oh my god.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida on Monday,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: said jury convicted Leonard white thirty seven, also known as
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Lean and Mike Williams, and Stick Sheldon Robinson twenty two,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: also known as Poe Boy, was convicted as well on

  Speaker 1: in relation to a crime of violence resulting in death,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: discharge firearm and further into a violent crime, witness tampering,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: obstruction of justice. That's what you call throwing the book
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: at him. Good for you, Florida. In the news for
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: these prosecutors said that Isabella Scavelli and her mother told
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Hernando County Sheriff's Office the white Head sexually assaulted Scarelli
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on February sixth of twenty twenty three. The next day, Robinson,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: who was White's cousin, win Di Scurrelli's home. According to prosecutors,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: when they opened the door owns and fired a barrage
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of gunshots, killing Scavelli. I guess it is, and hitting
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: multiple other people. So they absolutely threw the book, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I just I wanted to pass out all. I'm happy
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: when the bad guys get something they deserve. Touched on
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: this during Blazer Show. But I will reiterate to you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that five six seven eighty nine passed bond issues. Just
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it won't raise your taxes.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It'll make the world a better place, and birds will
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: sing beautiful thongs, the sun will shine brighter, everything will
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: be wonderful. But it will don't raise your taxes. So
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: vote yes on five six seven eight nine.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And you did. Here's the result. Columbus residents are now
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: bracing for increases in utility rates as the city plans
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to raise water and electric bills now again, as I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: said during Blazer Show, the bills have already raised. I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't give a good flip flop what you tell me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: When they went from quarterly billing to monthly billing. I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: paying more for water at my house, and I've seen
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who have been on their social media,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: goh my gosh, how did I suddenly get a seven
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars water bill? This gay it falls from the sky.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So they've already gone up. Whether the city admits to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that or not. The proposed hykes the story continues, will
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be discussed at a city council meeting. Listen closely now Thursday,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: offering a first opportunity for public feedback. Let me stop again,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: because when on Thursday, Zach, do you know when on Thursday?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I do not three thirty pm. That's when people who
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: are out working their butts off to make the money
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to pay your ridiculous bills are at work. Three point
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: thirty pm is obnoxious, insane, and inconsiderate. The city needs
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to hold these meetings at a time after people get
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: off work. Or maybe that's just me. For those living
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: within Columbus, water bills could rise by one hundred and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: twenty five dollars annually, about ten ten to fifty a month.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Budget listen, budget plan or low income rate payers, You're
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not a customer. You're not a consumer, You're a rate payer.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's like being a blood donor. You're just something they
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: can suck the life out of rate payer budget plan
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: or low income rate payers may see an increase of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: over one hundred dollars a year. Wait mine, hang on,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So people in Columbus in general could see one hundred
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars a year rise. But if you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: low income, you could still see an increase of over
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a year. But that ain't much of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a break for being low income, now, is it? Subdivision
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: residents in our suburb residents could face nearly one hundred
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and fifty dollars more annually because of course, living in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the suburbs, you're forced to get Columbus water and sewer
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: services additionally, Oh yes, additionally electric bills. I'm assuming this
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: means Columbus City Electric customers electric bills are expected to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: climb by thirteen percent, translating to an increase of eighty
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: one to one hundred and twenty six dollars per year
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: for the average customer. City officials justify the rate hikes
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: by citing a growing Central Ohio population. Isn't that what
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you say you want? And if it's growing here listen. Quote.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just my understanding of mathematics. If it's growing,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: then there are more people to pay for stuff. Why
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: are the people who are here supposed to pay more
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for stuff? Shouldn't the cost to some things going down.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: City also cites the cost of ongoing projects, which include
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a two point three billion dollar water intake plant on
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Home Road in Delaware County, two new upground reservoirs costing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars, and a one billion dollar initiative
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to replace lead pipes in the city. Good luck for that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: They did that. In my neighborhood, on my beloved west
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: side a couple of weeks ago, there were signs up
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to attend a community meeting to replace the lead pipes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It falls under this Operation Blueprint that the City of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Columbus has Operation Blueprint where they were going around the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: west side and doing some pumps. It's because all of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: these old homes we didn't have some pumps over there,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: so the city was installing. I said, well, we held
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they're giving them putting them in free. Well do they
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: came out? They assessed, because yep, we're gonna we needed
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: some pumping here, and uh and uh you know, we've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: got a long waiting list. We'll be back in in April.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It's November. Still haven't seen or heard from anybody. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: if this is as ministered as well as the sum pumps,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happen. The meeting again three point thirty
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: pm on Thursday. For those of you who are you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: unemployed or can take the day off because you live
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a life of luxury, feel free to hit on down
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to City Hall and the city Council chambers and voice
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: your opinion on the fact that they want more, more,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: always more. They don't give more, but they want more
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: constantly again. On the Blazer Show, talked about this nurse
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: at OSU Medical Center. Accosta says she was strangled by
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: some wild man. She's a postpartum nurse, meaning that she's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: dealing with mothers who you know, they've had their children,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the babies are out and into the world, and she's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you know, taking care of mom and baby and helping
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: everybody get adjusted to the life. And crazy man shows
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: up and grabs her by the collar and then and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: then apparently tries to strangle her. And there's a warrant
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: issued because he's he's been you know, he's been told
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: don't come back here unless she need medical help. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let him back even for that, But there's a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: warrant issued for him, which leads me to believe that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he's out there running around, probably looking for somebody else
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to strangle. Right now here. Here's what I'm worried about, though.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That lack of security was addressed when the nurses had
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: their contract agreement, because apparently they did not feel safe
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in the hospital, and the hospital apparently he's not holding
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: up there into that. Secondly, Easton Town Center. Did you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: see if this fight at Easton? I don't get this either.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: This may sound why does Easton have all these problems?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: First of all, yeah, it used to be nice. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: used to go there when I first moved here. Bryce
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and I would go all the time. I don't even
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: think about going there anymore. I've been there like twice, Yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just because I don't. You know, I don't drive that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: far to spend money. I try to keep close to home.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I saw the headlines, I was like, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: don't need to watch it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: This past weekend, what they call a chaotic scene in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the WSY six coverage, a large group involving more than
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a dozen young people broke out on the second floor
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: near H and M. The incident, which was captured on
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: video posted on social media. Columbus Police special duty on
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the scene. They did respond. Easton Town Center has its
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: own security as well. No arrest were made. Thing question
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: mark and here's here's and there were no injuries. So
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: here's my question. If you have in an open, occupied,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: bustling shopping center a fight involving at least a dozen people,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: if you have special duty Columbus police officers and your
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: own security p people on the scene, if you have
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: them on video doing what they are doing? Ay, how
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the hell has nobody arrested for anything? And b if
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: nobody was hurt, was it really a fight? I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: shouldn't somebody have at least gone home with a sprained
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: wrist or something.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe your kids forgot how to fight.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, y'all don't even know how to beat
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: up on each other. In a statement, needs to emphasize
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: it's zero tolerance policy. How's that working out for you, guys?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: For disorderly and disruptive conduct? And again, how zero tolerance
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: are you? If all these people were in a fight
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and it's on video, and you had colubs, police, special duty,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and security, and yet nobody was erased, arrested. What exactly
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is your zero tolerance policy? Don't let them come back
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: unless they need healthcare or something. Just say it. They
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: vowed to hold individuals, regardless of their age, fully accountable
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: for conduct, talked about that compromises the safety and experience
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of their guests. Again, what did I just say? Who's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: been held responsible? The police and the security in the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: camera and nobody was erec The incident was the second
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: outburst of violence at Easton Town Center in the past month.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: On October eighteenth, a woman was attacked by a group
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of at least twenty teens near the Big Fountain at the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: center of the shopping area. She was taken to the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: hospital expected to recover, though she informed police she did
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not wish to file charges. Okay, who are you and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with twenty people attack you and you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: don't want to file charges? We are living in bizarro world, man.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Was it somebody that she knew and she was afraid of?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but twenty people? Really, twenty people?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Come on? Twenty people. That's what the story is is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and of course. You know, people like me can't carry
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: weapons anywhere because they're they're scared of us. Twenty people
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: attacking you, a dozen people fighting, No arrest were made,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: law abiding citizen, you're the bad guy. Wow, we're messed up?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: All right? You got anything to throw in there? Uh?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very important announcement. Yes, Kentucky plays Louisville tonight in basketball.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Wait minute, is it Louisville in Kentucky?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kentucky University plays Louisville.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So Kentucky's basically play another Kentucky.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Basically more important than Ohio State, Misschigan.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing is more important than Ohio State. Haven't you read
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the papers? Yeah? I read them.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Who has the lead in that series? Anyway?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: In the Ohio State Michigan? Well over the years or
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: recent past, like total, I think I think we're still
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ahead by two. I think we're maybe we're ahead by twelve.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Something like that happen. I don't I guarantee you them either.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: We're thirty point winners this year. We'll find out on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the twenty ninth of November.
