- 1:11Speaker 2: me think about this in terms of glitches on this show.
- 1:14Speaker 2: When do we not have them? It wouldn't be us
- 1:18Speaker 2: if if it worked well, No, tons of times it's
- 1:23Speaker 2: on your side. Yesterday it was here. I'm in my

- 1:38Speaker 2: All of us were Oh oh, I thought the universal
- 1:41Speaker 2: sign for now. No, that's the one finger is not
- 1:43Speaker 2: needing help. That index finger got it. I'm a little
- 1:47Speaker 2: poor on my sign language anyway. Will, good morning, Amy,
- 1:50Speaker 2: there you are, and good morning and Neil and Kno,
- 1:56Speaker 2: everybody's here. And was talking about Kanye West. He's going
- 2:02Speaker 2: to be at SOFI and it was it the conversation
- 2:05Speaker 2: she you had with Will, and Will said, based on
- 2:08Speaker 2: everything that we're hearing, it's probably no one's going to
- 2:13Speaker 2: show up. Yeah, Will said, it doesn't seem like a
- 2:15Speaker 2: show most people are going to go to. It's just
- 2:16Speaker 2: going to be you know. Yeah, what happened, Well, yesterday
- 2:19Speaker 2: it sold out immediately and there was over a million
- 2:22Speaker 2: people in the queue to buy tickets. Yeah. Boy. People
- 2:28Speaker 2: were sending screenshots of their cue, going, oh, I'm one million,
- 2:32Speaker 2: eight hundred and twenty six.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Jewish, probably not a lot of Jews. Wow, he's bipolar,
- 2:40Speaker 3: he said, I that's mistake.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I was off the meds minute. It is really hard
- 2:46Speaker 2: to believe that he can be that popular. I guess.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand it. I'm not a big
- 2:51Speaker 2: fan of Taylor Swift either. I don't understand. Uh, I'm
- 2:56Speaker 2: not get easy. Yeah, I'm not throw it.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Are you throwing t under the bus?
- 3:02Speaker 2: Yeah? You are not her audience. It's not even that
- 3:06Speaker 2: I'm uh well, I mean there are plenty of people
- 3:10Speaker 2: that are sort of modern topical. I'm just saying, it's
- 3:20Speaker 2: just I don't don't don't talk about about her empire.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I very well said, I'm I just don't understand. Uh.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You know, I get the Eagles, I yet uh get
- 3:33Speaker 2: the uh the eagles.
- 3:35Speaker 4: No, there's a few. There's just one of them. I
- 3:39Speaker 4: just saw them like last.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Year, So I get the stones. But maybe it's a
- 3:41Speaker 2: questions the question of longevity. You know, is Taylor Swift
- 3:46Speaker 2: going to be around fifty years from now with the
- 3:50Speaker 2: kind of following she has?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Uh?
- 3:51Speaker 2: And I think that well, okay, and I have my
- 3:54Speaker 2: doubts about that.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Well, you won't have to worry about it.
- 3:58Speaker 2: No, I don't have to worry about her next week. Okay. Anyway,
- 4:03Speaker 2: Good morning to one and all.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Wednesday mornings.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yes, all right, A lot of a lot of news,
- 4:13Speaker 2: a lot of Iranian stuff going on this morning, which
- 4:16Speaker 2: we will get to. Well, one thing I enjoyed yesterday,
- 4:20Speaker 2: just to quick aside before we jump into the story,
- 4:22Speaker 2: is Caroline Levitt when President Trump has said, I We're
- 4:29Speaker 2: gonna stop when we get unconditional surrender from the Iranians.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And one of the reporters asked her what does unconditional
- 4:39Speaker 2: surrender mean? And she said, when the president feels like
- 4:46Speaker 2: they've surrendered, no matter what they do, he makes the
- 4:50Speaker 2: decision as to them surrendering and no matter what. And
- 4:55Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, you know, when the president decides that
- 4:58Speaker 2: surrender is happening, it doesn't really matter. Now, the president
- 5:03Speaker 2: does make a choice as far as and how long
- 5:05Speaker 2: we're gonna stay there. And this thing I think is
- 5:07Speaker 2: going to come is starting to bite him in the
- 5:09Speaker 2: ass anyway, even though I totally agree with what he's doing. Okay,
- 5:13Speaker 2: let's start, guys, It's time for Handle on the news
- 5:17Speaker 2: with Neil and Amy and me lead stories. Well, the
- 5:24Speaker 2: United States has just announced that it has taken out
- 5:28Speaker 2: multiple Iranian vessels, including sixteen Iranian mind layers. And the
- 5:33Speaker 2: problem with those mine layers is they can be on
- 5:36Speaker 2: a small fishing boat and just have to go up
- 5:40Speaker 2: to one of these major tankers and major tanker ships
- 5:44Speaker 2: and just put the mine right against the hull of
- 5:47Speaker 2: the ship and just blow a huge hole and there
- 5:50Speaker 2: goes the ship with more and a half million barrels
- 5:53Speaker 2: of oil or whatever on it. It is, it's a problem
- 5:58Speaker 2: Iran is coming back. Is asymmetrical fighting, which means it's
- 6:04Speaker 2: not head on fighting. There's no chance. I mean, it's
- 6:07Speaker 2: what is Iran going to do against the military force
- 6:09Speaker 2: of Israel and the United States. But going and attacking
- 6:15Speaker 2: via drones, for example, seems to be their go to now.
- 6:20Speaker 2: And the drone technology and the drone intelligence where to
- 6:24Speaker 2: aim these things is intelligence is given by the Russians
- 6:28Speaker 2: to the Iranians. So right now, according to the White House,
- 6:34Speaker 2: there are no reports of Iran actually planting explosives in
- 6:38Speaker 2: this trade of horror moves, but it wouldn't be a surprise, okay.
- 6:42Speaker 4: Moving on one forty injuries, The Pentagon says about one
- 6:47Speaker 4: hundred and forty US service members have been wounded since
- 6:51Speaker 4: the attacks on Iran started last month. The chief Pentagon spokesman,
- 6:57Speaker 4: Sean Parnell said the vast majority of the have been minor.
- 7:01Speaker 4: One hundred and eight service members have already returned to duty.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Eight service members remain listed is severely injured, and he
- 7:08Speaker 4: says they're getting the highest level of medical care. Of course,
- 7:10Speaker 4: we've lost seven soldiers.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Did you see that. I interviewed yesterday with one of
- 7:16Speaker 2: the surviving soldiers. And this one's a little weird because
- 7:20Speaker 2: this was a support a logistics location that had a
- 7:26Speaker 2: shelter underneath it. So the drone is somehow it's not intercepted,
- 7:31Speaker 2: but they know it's coming or the drones, and then
- 7:34Speaker 2: the service personnel go underneath to the shelter and then
- 7:41Speaker 2: the all clear sounds and up they come again, and
- 7:43Speaker 2: that's when the drone hits. When they come up. And
- 7:46Speaker 2: the sergeant who survived said that he heard the drone
- 7:51Speaker 2: coming in. He saw it go through the roof of
- 7:55Speaker 2: the building. He actually just for a second saw that
- 7:57Speaker 2: it was coming in and he turned away and five
- 8:01Speaker 2: feet from him, one of his co workers, that woman
- 8:03Speaker 2: sergeant basically was blown to pieces and he saw her
- 8:07Speaker 2: die right there. Really heartbreaking it is. So we're going
- 8:12Speaker 2: to see, unfortunately, we're going to see a lot of deaths,
- 8:15Speaker 2: and I wish the president was not so I won't
- 8:20Speaker 2: say flipping about it, but nonchalant when it comes to
- 8:23Speaker 2: the deaths that were happening.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Okay, so interesting elections going on in the South. Just
- 8:28Speaker 3: yesterday there was interesting show in the power of President
- 8:33Speaker 3: Donald Trump's endorsement, as we've seen it can go either
- 8:37Speaker 3: way sometimes, but also the political strength of a senior
- 8:41Speaker 3: Democratic congressman who easily beat back a younger challenger. So
- 8:48Speaker 3: you've got these two now, a very crowded field there
- 8:51Speaker 3: in Georgia at first, and this special election to replace
- 8:56Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green as we know who left. She resigned
- 9:02Speaker 3: as she kind of puts herself back together apparently. But
- 9:07Speaker 3: it was interesting because there was a particular representative, Colton
- 9:11Speaker 3: Moore on the Republican side, who was doing pretty well,
- 9:16Speaker 3: but then when it came down to it seemed that
- 9:18Speaker 3: those the Republicans kind of went towards Trump's pick, so.
- 9:24Speaker 2: They the Republican is gonna win. There's that it's a
- 9:28Speaker 2: pretty red Oh yeah, it's about as red as as
- 9:31Speaker 2: the district is. So it's it's does that show anything
- 9:35Speaker 2: not particularly, Yeah, but it wasn't easily.
- 9:38Speaker 3: I mean, the the Democrat is in that it's not like, well, how.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Many votes of the Democrat win versus the Republican because
- 9:46Speaker 2: they're not they're not running against each other in the primaries. Now,
- 9:50Speaker 2: when the general election happens in November. That's going to
- 9:54Speaker 2: be interesting. Do I think the Republican is still going
- 9:55Speaker 2: to win? I think so, But I think the numbers
- 9:58Speaker 2: are going to narrow dramatically, and I believe that there
- 10:01Speaker 2: are going to be a whole bunch of districts They're
- 10:03Speaker 2: going to flip around the country. As I'm looking at
- 10:07Speaker 2: the saying and maybe I'm dead wrong. I mean, I've
- 10:09Speaker 2: made these prognostications before, and I've been dead wrong a
- 10:13Speaker 2: lot most of the time, virtually every time.
- 10:21Speaker 4: Superintendent finally speaking, Alberto Carvallo has made his first public
- 10:27Speaker 4: statement since the FBI rated his home and his district
- 10:30Speaker 4: office in downtown That was on February twenty fifth. He's
- 10:33Speaker 4: denied any wrongdoing and says he wants to be returned
- 10:36Speaker 4: to his duties. Carvallo is currently unpaid administrative leave. His
- 10:41Speaker 4: lawyer said, mister Carvallo remains confident that the evidence will
- 10:45Speaker 4: ultimately demonstrate he acted appropriately and in the best interests
- 10:49Speaker 4: of students.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Yeah, in the way is being described of how the
- 10:54Speaker 2: FBI came in there, knocking on the door early early
- 10:58Speaker 2: morning February twenty five, agents with long guns drawn. Both
- 11:03Speaker 2: Carball and his wife were placed in handcuffs and put
- 11:06Speaker 2: in the back of the car of the police car
- 11:09Speaker 2: while the search was being conducted. You think they could
- 11:14Speaker 2: have just knocked on the door and say, we have
- 11:17Speaker 2: a search warrant here, and I don't know what he's
- 11:21Speaker 2: accused of doing. It's some kind of a violent crime.
- 11:25Speaker 4: They do that though, they've done that. Remember when who
- 11:29Speaker 4: was it was? One of Trump says, he goes, why
- 11:31Speaker 4: didn't you just knock at the door?
- 11:32Speaker 2: Why in the morning, I was in my boxers, right,
- 11:35Speaker 2: Why do they do that? I don't get it. Obviously
- 11:37Speaker 2: to get as much omph as possible. I mean, you're
- 11:40Speaker 2: right on either side. I just don't get it. You
- 11:43Speaker 2: know why they do that obviously for the purposes of
- 11:47Speaker 2: as much impact of it, to scare those people, to
- 11:51Speaker 2: show that these are purpose as well. It's got to
- 11:53Speaker 2: be consistent too.
- 11:55Speaker 3: If you don't do it with some people and then
- 11:56Speaker 3: you do it with others, they're going they.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Don't do it with some people and they do it
- 12:00Speaker 2: with others. There is no consistency. The DOBI the police officers,
- 12:06Speaker 2: you know, quite often, I mean they knock on doors
- 12:08Speaker 2: all day long and here's a search warrant. There was
- 12:10Speaker 2: a search warrant that was issued when I was practicing
- 12:15Speaker 2: law in my office. One of the lawyers was accused
- 12:18Speaker 2: of some kind of white collar crime, not in my firm,
- 12:21Speaker 2: but as in the same suite of offices. And they
- 12:24Speaker 2: came in with the Feds and they just moved us
- 12:27Speaker 2: all into the conference room and say stay there, will
- 12:31Speaker 2: we conduct the search. I mean, there were no guns,
- 12:33Speaker 2: there was nothing there. They literally knocked on the door,
- 12:36Speaker 2: someone opened the door and handed here's a search warrant.
- 12:39Speaker 2: And so I'm sure that happens more often than not.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I'm just curious as to why this happens when there
- 12:44Speaker 2: is no risk at all, unless they had some kind
- 12:47Speaker 2: of information that Carvallo was going to come out with
- 12:50Speaker 2: his long gun and start blowing apart the cops. All right,
- 12:55Speaker 2: moving on, all right, lax.
- 12:58Speaker 3: The worst airport in the world is now going to
- 13:00Speaker 3: be one of the most expensive to get to. Yesterday,
- 13:03Speaker 3: board members of the Los Angeles World Airports approved.
- 13:07Speaker 2: A fee hike.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Let's see, it looks like it's a one hundred and
- 13:12Speaker 3: forty percent fee hike.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Oh it's more than that when you think about it.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Remember we talked about it yesterday is going from four
- 13:19Speaker 2: dollars to twelve dollars.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Well, and this is for you know, third party uber lyft,
- 13:24Speaker 3: even taxis limousine companies that operate going to and fro
- 13:29Speaker 3: there at the airport. But this access fee increase, you know,
- 13:33Speaker 3: not only affects them, that's going to be pushed on
- 13:35Speaker 3: to us. This is all while while we're waiting for
- 13:40Speaker 3: the Skylink, as they say, to open this summer, so
- 13:43Speaker 3: the fees won't go into effect until the summer when
- 13:48Speaker 3: Skylak opens up. But it's it's just another kick to
- 13:51Speaker 3: the testes man for a horrible airport as it you know,
- 13:57Speaker 3: as it stands. And now they're saying it's going to
- 14:02Speaker 3: ease congestion, but it's just poorly laid out.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Back and take the people Mover in Yeah.
- 14:09Speaker 2: By the way, do you remember the people Mover at Disneyland. Yes,
- 14:13Speaker 2: And you remember and somebody, some kid decided he was
- 14:17Speaker 2: going to ride the people Mover in between the cars
- 14:19Speaker 2: of the people Move the kid that got out, yeah yeah, yeah,
- 14:23Speaker 2: and they shut down the people Mover immediately because.
- 14:28Speaker 3: You can't make something stupid proof. It's been said that
- 14:31Speaker 3: if you make something fool proof, they'll build a better fool.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Oh well, said Charlie.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Kirk's widow is going to the Air Force Academy.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Well the board.
- 14:42Speaker 4: President Trump has appointed Erica Kirk to the US Air
- 14:46Speaker 4: Force Academy Board of Visitors. The Board's responsibilities include looking
- 14:52Speaker 4: into the academy's morale, discipline, curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, financial affairs,
- 14:57Speaker 4: and academic methods and other method and other matters. The
- 15:00Speaker 4: board also makes recommendations to the Secretary of War.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Did she retire with twenty or twenty five years of
- 15:07Speaker 2: service in the military?
- 15:08Speaker 3: I forget Well, okay, you know, I thought, I swear
- 15:14Speaker 3: I thought. The board's responsibility includes looking awesome.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Oh goody.
- 15:20Speaker 3: I want Somedi in his department. He's got to get
- 15:24Speaker 3: some brunettes. He just fired the one brunette he had.
- 15:27Speaker 3: I know, it's really tough, alrighty. So this is bizarre.
- 15:33Speaker 3: Just when you think you hate a generation and you
- 15:36Speaker 3: know him, you don't. So about one third of gen
- 15:39Speaker 3: Z men, this is across twenty nine different countries, believe
- 15:44Speaker 3: that a wife should always obey her husband. This is
- 15:48Speaker 3: a new study out of Paris. But the interesting thing
- 15:51Speaker 3: here is that this multinational market research firm that went
- 15:57Speaker 3: into this with over twenty three thousand surveyed adults, thirty
- 16:02Speaker 3: one percent of gen Z men agree that a wife
- 16:04Speaker 3: should always obey her husband.
- 16:06Speaker 2: But check this out.
- 16:07Speaker 3: The figure is more than double the response, which was
- 16:11Speaker 3: thirteen percent by men or baby boomers.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the boomers appreciate women because we're all whipped.
- 16:19Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to do that topic at seven
- 16:22Speaker 2: thirty because there's a lot to this, so I'm going
- 16:24Speaker 2: to dive into that a little bit deeper.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yeah, how is lindsay obeying?
- 16:29Speaker 1: Not?
- 16:30Speaker 3: Well, she says you're obeying. Well, that is correct.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Evictied.
- 16:36Speaker 4: A judge recently entered an eviction ruling against actor Mickey Rourke, who,
- 16:42Speaker 4: despite owing nearly sixty thousand dollars in unpaid rent at
- 16:45Speaker 4: his Beverly Grove home, rejected more than one hundred thousand
- 16:48Speaker 4: dollars that was raised for I'm going to go fund
- 16:50Speaker 4: me campaign coordinated by his manager. Remember they raised the
- 16:54Speaker 4: money really quick, and then he said, no, no, I
- 16:56Speaker 4: don't want it. I don't take handouts like that, don't
- 16:58Speaker 4: need it. And he's said, and he didn't pay the
- 17:00Speaker 4: rent because he was in some sort of a dispute
- 17:02Speaker 4: with the landlord, and so the judge evicted him.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he did he even show up
- 17:10Speaker 2: to court or was it au.
- 17:12Speaker 3: They didn't know, they couldn't recognize him. Yeah, okay, he
- 17:18Speaker 3: was a handsome man. I'm sorry. He was a good
- 17:20Speaker 3: looking man.
- 17:21Speaker 2: And I liked him. He was a good actor. I
- 17:24Speaker 2: liked him, fantastic actor.
- 17:25Speaker 3: But now he looks like somebody pulled silly putty over
- 17:28Speaker 3: their knee.
- 17:29Speaker 2: It just nicely said, nicely said, Well he's quirky. I
- 17:32Speaker 2: loved his acting, all.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Right, Uh noma. We've been hearing a lot about this
- 17:38Speaker 3: pop up in silver Lake at the Paramour there on
- 17:43Speaker 3: the hills of Silver Lake. And this is Renee Zeppe.
- 17:47Speaker 3: He is a world famous chef three Michelin stars. As
- 17:50Speaker 3: a matter of fact, well, a lot of controversy around him.
- 17:53Speaker 3: The New York Times did a you know, did a
- 17:56Speaker 3: deep dive investigation int allegations. I think there was like
- 18:00Speaker 3: thirty five thirty six allegations against him of hyper mistreating
- 18:05Speaker 3: both psychologically and physical abuse against staff at his fine
- 18:10Speaker 3: dining eatey you know, not here in la But they're
- 18:14Speaker 3: coming to bite him in the ass. And now he's
- 18:16Speaker 3: got two major, two major sponsors pulling out, one of
- 18:20Speaker 3: which is American is Express and then the hospitality company Blackbird.
- 18:25Speaker 3: They cut ties and I think it starts today. I
- 18:29Speaker 3: think they so.
- 18:31Speaker 2: To your point of biting him in the ass is
- 18:33Speaker 2: because he bit his staff in the ass and now
- 18:36Speaker 2: he's getting it big time. Oh they are punch He
- 18:39Speaker 2: also punched them. The allegation is and threw them against walls.
- 18:42Speaker 2: One of them was with a knife.
- 18:44Speaker 3: But they the story I read doing some studying on
- 18:49Speaker 3: it yesterday. I will tell you that there he would
- 18:53Speaker 3: do things that they do in cults, like embarrass you
- 18:57Speaker 3: in front of people to get compliance and stuff like that.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Pretty crazy, pretty crazy. Don't know the man, but crazy
- 19:06Speaker 3: story all right. See one more before I break amy.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Don't kill the deer please. A plan to shoot and
- 19:13Speaker 4: kill all the deer on Catalina Island is being challenged
- 19:16Speaker 4: by the Ellie County's Office of County Council. They wrote
- 19:21Speaker 4: a letter to the conservancy and said, you know, killing
- 19:25Speaker 4: all the deer is just reckless and humane. The plan
- 19:29Speaker 4: to get rid of the deer is because the deer
- 19:30Speaker 4: have taken over. There's like two thousand of them or
- 19:34Speaker 4: something and says the deer eating all the native grasses,
- 19:37Speaker 4: that's harming the ecosystem and increasing the growth of more
- 19:40Speaker 4: flammable invasive grasses. So the council, along with Ellie County
- 19:45Speaker 4: Supervisor Janis Hahn, whose district includes Katalina Island, have said
- 19:49Speaker 4: that they advocate for thinning the herd but leaving a
- 19:51Speaker 4: small deer population to keep brush volume down.
- 19:56Speaker 2: What if you kill the humanely? Is that inhumane or
- 20:01Speaker 2: just the concept of killing them is inhumane? And our
- 20:06Speaker 2: and do they meet at Chick fil a and talk
- 20:11Speaker 2: about humanly killing animals? And I don't know the answer
- 20:13Speaker 2: to that.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Is it like genter what do they just call it
- 20:16Speaker 3: gentrification or something like that? And then everybody will want
- 20:19Speaker 3: them dead.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Good point.
- 20:23Speaker 3: So we all remember twelve years ago or so, you
- 20:27Speaker 3: had the MH three seventy flight out of Malaysia. If
- 20:32Speaker 3: you remember the Malaysia Airline flight that vanished two hundred
- 20:37Speaker 3: and thirty nine people aboard. And now twelve years later,
- 20:41Speaker 3: you've got a renewed investigation going on the family, could
- 20:46Speaker 3: you imagine still doesn't know what happened. There is no
- 20:49Speaker 3: real description of what took place. They don't know where
- 20:54Speaker 3: the plane is any of these things, so it's back on.
- 20:59Speaker 3: There's a excess based company last year that started renewing
- 21:03Speaker 3: the search for the flight three seventy of their and
- 21:07Speaker 3: their role here is kind of cool. It's like, if
- 21:10Speaker 3: we don't find anything, then you don't pay anything.
- 21:14Speaker 2: So it sounds like a Pi Jenny commercial, isn't it. Yeah,
- 21:18Speaker 2: you only you don't pay until you win. Right. I
- 21:21Speaker 2: have a question about this and maybe Amy, this might
- 21:24Speaker 2: be worth looking up, and that is that when it
- 21:28Speaker 2: did happen twelve years ago, was the technology there that
- 21:31Speaker 2: followed an airplane across the ocean. I know that it
- 21:36Speaker 2: wasn't too long ago where you had no radar contact
- 21:40Speaker 2: across the Pacific, that the planes were just out there
- 21:44Speaker 2: empty in terms of radar contact. Today, with the GPS,
- 21:48Speaker 2: you know exactly where they are, so if the plane
- 21:49Speaker 2: goes down, you sort of can pinpoint it.
- 21:52Speaker 4: The technology did exist, but what's not uniformly implemented or
- 21:57Speaker 4: mandatory at the time. They do know that the plane
- 21:59Speaker 4: turned south like it veered off its course.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Remember, they don't know when, they don't know where it
- 22:06Speaker 2: crashed specifically into the pretty big ocean.
- 22:08Speaker 4: Nope, Okay, crazy that they still haven't found that fascinating.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Turning the other cheek, the wife of a Georgia High
- 22:19Speaker 4: school teacher who died during a late night senior prank
- 22:24Speaker 4: gone wrong has asked for all the charges to be
- 22:27Speaker 4: dropped against the students involved. There were five North Hall
- 22:31Speaker 4: High students. They were arrested after going to the math
- 22:35Speaker 4: teacher's house. It's Jason Hughes, and they had their toilet
- 22:38Speaker 4: paper because they were going to tpee his house long
- 22:41Speaker 4: standing prank tradition. Well, Hughes was walking toward the street
- 22:48Speaker 4: when he tripped and fell onto the slippery roadway. He
- 22:51Speaker 4: was then run over by a car driven by one
- 22:54Speaker 4: of the students, and the wife says, you know what,
- 22:58Speaker 4: this was a terrible tragedy. Amily's determined to prevent a
- 23:01Speaker 4: separate tragedy from occurring, which would be ruining the lives
- 23:04Speaker 4: of these students.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Good on her. Yeah, when you think about it, you know,
- 23:08Speaker 2: they charged him with the higular manslaughter. I mean, he
- 23:12Speaker 2: wasn't speeding. I'm assuming he was driving appropriately leaving the scene,
- 23:17Speaker 2: and uh, the teacher fell in front of the car.
- 23:21Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's what happened, and it is an accident
- 23:24Speaker 2: and the wife also said that he was excited about it.
- 23:27Speaker 2: He knew the prank was going on.
- 23:29Speaker 4: Outstanding thing.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Yeah it's and it's not even a horrible prank for
- 23:33Speaker 3: Pete's sake, you know, like.
- 23:34Speaker 4: From the stupid somebody's house we got all the time.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was the best. Although now you know,
- 23:42Speaker 2: you don't want to you don't want to waste the
- 23:44Speaker 2: toilet also, you know, also you want to use also
- 23:46Speaker 2: you want to use new toilet paper because it gets
- 23:50Speaker 2: to be just not a good thing.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Okay, take kind It just dissolves as you throw it,
- 23:57Speaker 1: all right, So there you're remember the shooter at the
- 24:01Speaker 1: Chiefs rally last year?
- 24:03Speaker 3: Was it at the Super Bowl No. Twenty twenty four?
- 24:06Speaker 2: Rather so?
- 24:07Speaker 3: Yeah, the Kansas City Chiefs win, and there was some
- 24:11Speaker 3: craziness that went on. About twelve people brandish firearms. The
- 24:16Speaker 3: guns found at the scene include at least two AR
- 24:19Speaker 3: style rifles. They started shooting, and there was a DJ,
- 24:24Speaker 3: Lisa Lopez Galvan, the host of a local radio show
- 24:28Speaker 3: out there. She was killed while watching the rally with
- 24:30Speaker 3: her family. About two dozen other people, many of them children,
- 24:34Speaker 3: were wounded but survived. Well, this got really muddled. Bill
- 24:40Speaker 3: because of the law and the self defense laws is
- 24:44Speaker 3: they couldn't they couldn't prove that there wasn't an act
- 24:49Speaker 3: of self defense taking place at the time.
- 24:53Speaker 2: So that is a little weird, isn't it. It's just
- 24:56Speaker 2: it's true. It's a bizarre, bizarre case because.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Because of their laws, there was no way to say, okay,
- 25:04Speaker 3: definitively this was murder or because the guys.
- 25:07Speaker 4: The guy who shot the people said that they he
- 25:12Speaker 4: was defending himself because another group had approached them and
- 25:15Speaker 4: was threatening them.
- 25:16Speaker 2: And this is a stand in your ground law, which
- 25:18Speaker 2: a bunch of states have. Extend your ground law California
- 25:22Speaker 2: is you merely must protect yourself. Someone breaks into your house,
- 25:25Speaker 2: you can go ahead and shoot them, But out there
- 25:27Speaker 2: on the street you have to retreat and not pull
- 25:31Speaker 2: up a gun and start shooting. Not in Georgia and
- 25:34Speaker 2: other states, it's staying your ground and that's expanding too,
- 25:38Speaker 2: all right, So do one more and then we are bailing.
- 25:41Speaker 4: All right, Which is worse jury duty or working the
- 25:44Speaker 4: polls on election day. Well, apparently now you might have
- 25:47Speaker 4: a choice. In Idaho, Senate committee has advanced a bill
- 25:51Speaker 4: that would allow prospective jurors to volunteer as poll workers
- 25:55Speaker 4: on election day instead.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Have you or Anne ever worked the poll No?
- 26:01Speaker 4: No, not any kind of.
- 26:03Speaker 2: You've never done any poll works answering. Also, that was
- 26:06Speaker 2: the wrong question, and or Amy, that was the wrong
- 26:09Speaker 2: question you asked. It's not which would you rather do
- 26:13Speaker 2: work the polls or jury duty? The question is what
- 26:16Speaker 2: would you rather do, either have jury duty or undergo
- 26:21Speaker 2: surgery without anesthesia, And it is the latter, which is
- 26:26Speaker 2: what most people choose jury duty.
- 26:30Speaker 4: It's kind of a cool option though.
- 26:32Speaker 2: It is a cool option, it is, but they're so
- 26:34Speaker 2: short of juries. How many juries? How many people go
- 26:38Speaker 2: through the jury system in for example, La County, a
- 26:42Speaker 2: Grazilian millions a year, like two million people they need
- 26:47Speaker 2: a year going through the jury system, of which every
- 26:50Speaker 2: single one wants to get out of jury duty except
- 26:53Speaker 2: people that work for the post office because they really
- 26:56Speaker 2: enjoy it because they get paid. And certain big companies
- 27:01Speaker 2: also get paid.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Well, any county worker, right, the government worker gets.
- 27:05Speaker 2: You yeah, of course, and then a lot of major
- 27:07Speaker 2: corporations also will pay their workers full till, just like iHeart,
- 27:11Speaker 2: because that's policy here. If you go until we get
- 27:13Speaker 2: paid like five bucks, don't No, that's the official rate
- 27:17Speaker 2: you get paid by the government, five dollars a day,
- 27:20Speaker 2: or maybe it's fifteen dollars a day. Now I have
- 27:22Speaker 2: no idea. Okay, we're done. The President pushing for that
- 27:26Speaker 2: voting bill, and that fight is getting a touch more intense,
- 27:31Speaker 2: and we'll talk about that coming up. KFI Am sixty.
