KFI AM six forty Bill Handle Here, good morning. It
is December twenty fourth, on a Wednesday, twas the night
before Christmas. I couldn't find the actual language of the poem.
So Michelle helped me out on that one.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I heard you ask Siri like I did, sirih Yeah,
and sirih.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
All they give you was the history of the poem,
going back to the early eighteen hundreds and the whole thing,
and it was just really weird.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
So I was just curious about twice the night before
Christmas just went and entered my mind.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
So a couple of things I want to well, first
of all, Hello, Cono, there you are working as always.

And Michelle actually put this.

Together, and that is how the nor Ad following Santas
sleigh around the world, how it began. And it is
a terrific story, a little history and I just love
this story. And we have a lot going on today. Oh,
A couple of things before we get into it the news.
(02:19):
First of all, you're doing a Christmas Carol kind of thing.
Either I was listening to your promo, I wasn't. I
wasn't invited to sing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, to sing? Would you like to sing?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
No? No, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But I'm just wondering why I wasn't invited to be
part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I wasn't either.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I feel better.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Give everyone the gift they've all wanted for. Please sing
for us right now.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, no, no, no, no, give everyone the gift.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No giving Bill Handle sings the Crystal Class Christmas Class.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, that is not going to happen, not in this lifetime.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I used to be able to give gifts, but I
took a lot of man biotics for that, so that
worked out.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I'm done with that.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Okay, Well they probably figured you guys didn't want to
stick around.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's not happening until noon today.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Oh yeah, there's no chance. Yeah, there's no chance. There's
no chance.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Hey, I got something in the mail which I wanted
to share with you people, and I was wondering. This
came out of the blue, and it's a bereavement card,
a blank one from.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The priests of the Sacred Heart.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And it is literally just a straight out bereavement card
in an envelope with a little card attached.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It looks like a bookmark that has the twenty third
psalm and.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
A poem and it's a little calendar and it's kind
of weird.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And you open up the bereavement card and on the
left is Safely Home and it's a poem about Jesus
and there's a picture of Jesus and some flowers. I
am home in heaven, dear ones. I'm so happy and
so bright. There is perfect joy and beauty in this
ever lasting the light. Okay, roses are red violets or
blue kind of thing. It's pretty moronic.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The card itself Sacred Heart Memorial and memory of it,
and you fill in the name, and then requested by
you fill in the name and it's as the priests
of the Sacred Heart has received a memorial gift requesting
the soul of your loved one to be remembered daily
in their mouses and prayers as long as the grace
(04:27):
of God is needed.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Okay, real quickly, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's just basically, if somebody in your life passed away
and you want the church to recognize.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
No, no I understand that. No no I no I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No I get Are you wondering why they sent it
to you?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Well, yeah, because they want money, because they put in
the donation card, which is really important. Yeah, of course
it's Catholic. Actually, you would never mind.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You would think if it was a Jewish card, it
would be a card for an investment opportunity.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
But that's not the case here.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
My question is to ask you this, Michelle, is that
you know this is a fairly big organization. And I'm
assuming thousands of people die every month. And when the
Sacred Heart Memorial people, the priests of Sacred Heart said
we will be remembering you daily and the soul of
(05:20):
your loved one.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
How do they do that?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It's usually just a quick mention.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't know how many they get, but if you
go to church, usually it's just a quick mention at
the end of a service or something.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Right, you have to pay more for long names.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Possibly, I don't know for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And the other thing is do you think they sent
this to the wrong person at the wrong address. Yeah,
it's a waste of time, you know, no bereavement, all right,
that's just weird.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I get some weird male. Well, we all get weird male. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It is Christmas eve Day, and so the trees. Michelle
later on in a post. I think our Christmas greetings
from the entire crew.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right, Yeah, I'll the host of cafe. Some Cafi people
gave me some holiday messages. I'll post on Instagram later
tonight after I'm done cooking.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I forgot to do mine. I'm sorry. I just remember,
you have time.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, yeah, you have time. Put it up there, and
then I had a little bit of fun with mine,
of course, completely sacrilegious. What a shocker that one is. Okay,
are you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let's do it?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Time for handle on the news.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Heather in for Amy, No Neil in for no Neil
and me lead story. Well, we've been talking about this
with this atmospheric river coming down, and I'm going to defer,
as I always do to our newsperson with some specifics
(06:51):
as to the.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Weather, the amount of rain, how many people are drowning,
all of that.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Well, luckily, no one is drowning so far. They've been
getting the word out pretty well around the area. So
the National Weather Service says downtown LA is likely to
get two to four inches of rain, but places like
the Santa Monica Mountains, San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel and
foothills and Hollywood Hills could get four to eight inches.
I interviewed somebody from the National Weather Service this morning,
(07:19):
Andrew Rourke. He said that what's different about this particular
storm system compared to other rainstorms we get is the
amount of rain in such a short amount of time.
There's going to be a tremendous amount of rain pouring
in the next two days. And there's two storm systems.
There's one that's going to move through today and then
tonight it's going to taper off a little bit and
(07:41):
kind of you know, we'll have a little bit of
a calm, lighter rain, and then it's going to start
right back up again on Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And two people have lost their lives in northern California
already because of the storms. Hopefully it stops of that.
And when you talk about a lot of rain in
a very short period of time, that's instant flooding and
in a big, big way. And you got the burn areas,
the Palisades, they eaten areas and Malibu, I mean, all
of it is kind of nuts. I have not seen
(08:09):
heavy rain yet. I'm in Orange County. I have not
seen heavy rain.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It was coming down pretty good here a little while ago,
and traffic is just a mess.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Will has said he has not seen this much, this
much activity in quite a while.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, so, well, were you gonna have? I guess one word.
The traffic reports horrible and you're done, stay home.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Governor Newsom has declared states of emergency for several areas,
and the six weather events that he's declared emergency for
is the emergency.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Excuse me?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
The six weather events that caused significant damage that he
declared emergency for his were reclaimed states of emergency. Windstorms
in Rancho Cucamonga tsunami and Del Norte County. Am I
saying Del Norte, right, that sounds right? Yeah, Gifford fired
in Gifford Fire area and San Luis Obispo and Santa
Barbara County, monsoon storms in Imperial County, storms and mud
(09:05):
slides in Sierra County, and storms in San Bernardino and Imperio.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's throughout the year, it has the governor declared emergencies
right now during this storm, profession, Yes, okay, it's already
been done. Okay, Well we had more to the list, okay. Ooh,
and this was expected.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
This is such a heartbreaking story. Ashley Buzzard her whose
nine year old daughter, Melody Buzzard, had been missing since October.
Everybody was looking for her, you know, we were talking
about this story quite a bit. She was arrested after
the girl's body was found in Utah. Detectives believe the
child was killed after she was seen October ninth near
(09:44):
the Utah Colorado border. FBI analysis confirmed through DNA match
that it was Ashley Buzzard.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So heartbreaking.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And the newest update, of course, is that she died
from a gunshot wound to the head. And there were
cartridge cases found at Buzzard's home, the mother's home that
match those discovered at the scene in Utah.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, and they weren't charging her because there were no remains, right,
And of course she's not cooperating, and she just says,
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. It
doesn't have to say anything. And if there's nobody, it's
kind of hard to charge. I mean, that's the sort
of you can't do it. It has been done, but
you need a ton of circumstantial evidence, I mean tons
of it, and they didn't have that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Now they have it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Now they have direct evidence casings and the DNA confirming
that it was in fact Melody. And it's just this,
you know how it is the mother, it's the comprehensive
mother kills her her own child.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This sweet girl. The pictures of her.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Style, and then you saw those videos of them going
into the store, yeah store, and they were both in
wigs and just crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
All right.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So the DOJ has released thirty thousand items related to
the Epstein files, thirty thousand of the Epstein files. And
this is a little bit interesting because there's more mentions
of President Trump in this one. And Trump has never
been accused by law enforcement of any criminical criminal acts
(11:18):
relating to Epstein, and he vigorously denies any wrongdoing. However,
these latest releases say that the flight records indicate that
Trump traveled a lot more on Epstein's private jet than
had previously been reported.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, this is panning out exactly the way I called it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm going to take kudos on this one, and that
is what these files are going to show out is
just a much closer relationship to Epstein.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Do I think Trump was involved in any of this? Now?
I don't do I think they were very close. Yes,
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And he's separating himself as much as possible. Also, I've
never been.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
On his plane.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's a lie, that's fake. That's the hoax. Look at
the flight records. Yes you were, not that it matters
in his world, but it's you're going to hear as
this thing gets closer and closer to Trump, not the
not the misconduct, not the trafficking or the sexual molestation
of these girls, But as the relationship gets closer and closer,
(12:20):
you are going to hear the word hoax and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Fake news more and more. I guarantee you. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The DJ is already trying to kind of downplay them
a little bit. They posted on social media.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Play Bill Clinton and I'll play Bill Clinton. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
They're already saying, well, but Clinton was in there, right,
And that's another of the leads to the next story
is that people are saying that the DOJ has sort
of botched the Epstein files release more than they previously
had indicated. Apparently there is a way on the DOJ
website where hackers can highlight the redacted copy and text
(12:56):
and paste it into another document to read the redactions.
So they're saying that the DJ has screwed this up
quite a bit by allowing hackers to be able to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, technologically speaking, they were just a ham handed about it.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And they're doing this.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That means that they're all the redacted stuff is going
to be available.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
As it should be, don't you think or do you
think not?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
The not the photos or the information of the victims
that do not want to go public, Okay, everybody else absolutely,
Also the names of people, for example, who had met
him at a party or had some slight relationship with
him or some encounter.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I mean, this is one of those where the.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Accusation sticks far more than the reality, So you got
to be really, really careful. But for the most part,
I mean, they're redacting stuff that's unbelievable. I mean they're
redacting everybody on this one or anything close to Trump.
And even so, there's some stuff, I like the flight
logs on the manifests in which Trump's name appears, so
(14:02):
you know, he can't take out everything they tried. Maybe
it's going to get worse for Trump then it's going
to get any better. However, I want to reiterate, and
we have to reiterate what you said and that is,
there is no accusation or evidence that he was involved
in any of those machinations of what Depstein was accused of.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
All right, so you might remember this story from a
few weeks back. A federal grand jury dited four people
who were alleged members of an extremist group.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They've been indicted on.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Attempting to well, I guess, a suspected bombing plot for
SoCal in Los Angeles County and Orange County on New
Year's Eve. Each of them is charged with one count
of providing and attempting to provide materials to support to
terrorists and one count of possession of unregistered firearms.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What's weird about this one is that this is not
particularly political. It's more they hate capitalism in general and
just modern society. You don't see one like isis. You
don't see any kind of reactionary of forces here.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It's just we hate capitalism. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
The part of something called this Turtle Island Liberation Front
and antwe Well.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That tells you right there, how effective Turtle Island. That's
I guess where they practice. They move very slowly, though
they were easy to catch.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
We got them though, they got Yeah, Oh we got
all right. So we mentioned this story a couple of times. Today,
Open ai is teamed up with nora Ad to.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
To track Santa.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
How do we feel about this is they're using some
tools ELF Enrollment, which allows people to transform their pictures
into something that resembles an ELF, Santa's Toy Lab, which
assists in creating customized toy pictures, and a Christmas story creator,
a fill in the blank's holiday story maker. They're all
using the chat GPT platform with Norad.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I'm going to talk more about the history of Norad
coming up at seven or eight o'clock. It is a
fun story of how this started, how Santa going around
the world and Norad goes back.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
To the mid fifties, and it's just a hilarious story.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Who I'm excited for that. I love learning about history stuff.
I'm a history nerd, like the history buff.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Speaking of tracking Santa, well, now apparently DHS is using
Santa to track what they're calling illegal immigrants. The Department
of Homeland Security has taken a holiday themed campaign and
they are using AI generated clips to show Saint Nick
suiting up for an evening with Ice.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
He's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
He's seen cuffing arrestees, booking them, taking them to the facility.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You know, you think this would be just a.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Smile on your face, find a story shop, or you know,
just some kind of a prank hoax.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
They actually did this.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yes, Santa's buff. If you look at the video, Santa's
like all.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Buffed out beard and he gives a and it's no
smile there, it's a grimace.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And I We're gonna get these illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's got on.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
That's what Michelle. Can we put that up?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Let's put it on the Instagram.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, you have to put it at bill handle, show
our Instagram page, because that is just way too good
a story, I mean a photo.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And there.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Apparently they've upped the self deportation payment on the CBP.
I remember when it was one thousand dollars if you
self deport. Now it's three thousand.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So they were like, Christine home, you too can win
three thousand dollars or we'll pay you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
All you have to do is self deport Sure, why not?
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Now all those people that self deported months ago are like,
oh I should have held out.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, got more money, all right.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump refusing to reinstate
for now his ability to send National Guard troops into
Illinois over the objections of its governor. The administration argued
that it needed to federalize the National Guard to have
fight against unremitting violence and ice agents, acts of a
(18:17):
protester whatever, against ice agents and ICE facilities. But Illinois
has said, we don't have those emergency situations here.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know, there's no rebellion.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, keep in mind that what gives the President the
ability to nationalize the Guard and then bring him into
the city is him declaring there was a rebellion or
danger of rebellion against the US government, and that's what
he is, arguing that these protesters are a.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Danger to the country.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They are rebelling against the government of the United States
and trying to take it over.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Come on. And even the court Supreme Court, which I
thought was going to go the other way.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Really I thought the court absolutely up to this point,
the court has says whatever the President says it is,
it is in his opinion.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
But there's no evidence of any of that, Like it
would be hard to fly in the face of that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Like, there's just no evidence of anybody.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It's not a question of evidence.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's a question of does the president have the right
to declare and a rebellion and an emergency, and do
the courts have a right to overturn that or does
the president have a right simply because he declares an
emergency with no connection to reality.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
And up to this point, I got to tell you
the courts that are going to the president.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I mean, the one that I couldn't believe is the
argument that the president has complete immunity for any act
during the course of his presidency, and as he argues
that it relates to the presidency.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Ellen A.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Kagan, who is a Supreme Court justice, actually asked the
Solicitor General of the United States was arguing this, or
one of the staff members was in front of the court,
does that mean that the president could order the assassination
of a rival?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And he has the ability to do that under this order?
And the guy said absolutely, Wow, that's and it's and
and the court basically said it, yeah, you know, it's
the president's call. I mean, that's how scary it had gotten,
and it has gotten so at least the court in
this uh, in this instance is saying no, you don't
(20:30):
have the right.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And by the way.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Only Congress has many and many of these rights, like tariffs,
which is going up, and the President says, I want
I'm going to issue the terrorists because I am the
president and I can do whatever the hell I want
to do.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So that's I'm glad the Supreme Court is putting some
limits on this. We'll find out more.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
There's a lot of cases going up, by the way
that we're going to be reporting on that are going
to could be coming out in a new term.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
All right, So we told you before the break that
Illinois was pushing back against the National Guard troops. Well
down in louis they're saying, come on down. Trump administration
will deploy three hundred and fifty National Guard troops there.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is praising the move, saying that
it's going to help them crack down on violence in
the city of New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, even though violence murders are way, way, way down.
But it's a political move.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Landry's a Republican and he was just named the envoy
to Greenland, you know, arguing that Greenland should belong to
the United States, that we should annex Greenland, and they're
thrilled about that too. Then Mark is happy, happy, and
of course the fifty first state Canada is very happy.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
All right.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Cracking down on speeders Here in the Los Angeles area,
the California State Transportation Agency, they have a new pilot
program that is collaborating with the DMV and the CHP.
Apparently they're going to be giving anyone a citation for
driving more than one hundred miles an hour and it
is going to be forwarded to the DMV's driver's safety branch.
(22:03):
They'll then review the driver's history and determine if a
license suspension or revocation is necessary.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
How is that possible that that's not already in place.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't know, I would think it would be.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, driving in hunderd miles per hour is not just speeding,
it's it's writing the reckless.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
And I'm talking about legally it's reckless.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And so I don't I don't get how this isn't
happening automatically. So well, you would think it would be
just an automatic and you fight to get it back.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
In uh, San Francisco, let's see, Immigrant drivers of trucks
and other commercial vehicles sued the state for canceling twenty
thousand licenses. They're saying officials bowed to pressure from the
Trump administration and violated state laws for allowing renewal of
the licenses.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, these are we're talking about commercial licenses, and I
don't know if they are they under the auspices of
the federal government, and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I don't think so. I still think it's a state issue.
May be wrong on.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That, all right.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Schools can't bar teachers from telling their parents if their
children are transgender, and judge has ruled that down in
Orange County. They have a constitutional right, the judge says,
to be informed if their child starts to present as
a different gender at school, and schools cannot hide that
information from parents. That was ruled by San Diego judge
(23:29):
federal judge.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's interesting. I mean, do parents have a right to know?
I mean, when you're a kid who is named Jeff
decides that it's going to be Abigail, for example, and
doesn't do so at home, do the parents have a
right to know that? And there's two ways of looking
at that is, of course the parents do I have
a right. However, what if the child is going to
(23:52):
be ostracized or punished or somehow even be abused for
because he or she is taking on the other gender.
Same thing with abortion. By the way, the schools cannot
tell the parents about abortion. A fourteen year old girl
has an abortion in the school knows about it. By law,
they can't inform their parents. And that's a minor. Now,
(24:17):
if the kid is taking an aspirin at school, the
parents are notified.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
It's pretty wild. It is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
I as a mother of a twelve year old, I
would want to know. I would want but you know,
my home is obviously different than other people's home. You know,
everybody's different. But as a parent, I would want to
know if something like that happened.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, here's the other side of reality. Can you imagine
you not knowing?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, like, that's that's impossible.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I mean, you know, no one could sorry about that.
No one's going to keep that hidden. Yeah yeah, I
think we're done. Yeah, Okay, we're done. This is KFI
A M six forty.

KFI AM six forty Bill Handle Here, good morning. It
is December twenty fourth, on a Wednesday, twas the night
before Christmas. I couldn't find the actual language of the poem.
So Michelle helped me out on that one.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I heard you ask Siri like I did, sirih Yeah,
and sirih.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
All they give you was the history of the poem,
going back to the early eighteen hundreds and the whole thing,
and it was just really weird.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
So I was just curious about twice the night before
Christmas just went and entered my mind.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
So a couple of things I want to well, first
of all, Hello, Cono, there you are working as always.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Good morning, Oh yeah, Merry Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And Heather Hello, you're infulling in what the next week?

Now, Yeah, okay, we've got to That is a really
interesting story.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And Michelle actually put this.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Together, and that is how the nor Ad following Santas
sleigh around the world, how it began. And it is
a terrific story, a little history and I just love
this story. And we have a lot going on today. Oh,
A couple of things before we get into it the news.
(02:19):
First of all, you're doing a Christmas Carol kind of thing.
Either I was listening to your promo, I wasn't. I
wasn't invited to sing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, to sing? Would you like to sing?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
No? No, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But I'm just wondering why I wasn't invited to be
part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I wasn't either.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
I feel better.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Give everyone the gift they've all wanted for. Please sing
for us right now.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, no, no, no, no, give everyone the gift.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
No giving Bill Handle sings the Crystal Class Christmas Class.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, that is not going to happen, not in this lifetime.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I used to be able to give gifts, but I
took a lot of man biotics for that, so that
worked out.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I'm done with that.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Okay, Well they probably figured you guys didn't want to
stick around.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's not happening until noon today.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Oh yeah, there's no chance. Yeah, there's no chance. There's
no chance.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Hey, I got something in the mail which I wanted
to share with you people, and I was wondering. This
came out of the blue, and it's a bereavement card,
a blank one from.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The priests of the Sacred Heart.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And it is literally just a straight out bereavement card
in an envelope with a little card attached.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It looks like a bookmark that has the twenty third
psalm and.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
A poem and it's a little calendar and it's kind
of weird.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And you open up the bereavement card and on the
left is Safely Home and it's a poem about Jesus
and there's a picture of Jesus and some flowers. I
am home in heaven, dear ones. I'm so happy and
so bright. There is perfect joy and beauty in this
ever lasting the light. Okay, roses are red violets or
blue kind of thing. It's pretty moronic.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The card itself Sacred Heart Memorial and memory of it,
and you fill in the name, and then requested by
you fill in the name and it's as the priests
of the Sacred Heart has received a memorial gift requesting
the soul of your loved one to be remembered daily
in their mouses and prayers as long as the grace
(04:27):
of God is needed.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Okay, real quickly, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's just basically, if somebody in your life passed away
and you want the church to recognize.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
No, no I understand that. No no I no I get that.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No I get Are you wondering why they sent it
to you?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Well, yeah, because they want money, because they put in
the donation card, which is really important. Yeah, of course
it's Catholic. Actually, you would never mind.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You would think if it was a Jewish card, it
would be a card for an investment opportunity.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
But that's not the case here.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
My question is to ask you this, Michelle, is that
you know this is a fairly big organization. And I'm
assuming thousands of people die every month. And when the
Sacred Heart Memorial people, the priests of Sacred Heart said
we will be remembering you daily and the soul of
(05:20):
your loved one.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
How do they do that?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It's usually just a quick mention.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't know how many they get, but if you
go to church, usually it's just a quick mention at
the end of a service or something.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Right, you have to pay more for long names.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Possibly, I don't know for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And the other thing is do you think they sent
this to the wrong person at the wrong address. Yeah,
it's a waste of time, you know, no bereavement, all right,
that's just weird.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I get some weird male. Well, we all get weird male. Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It is Christmas eve Day, and so the trees. Michelle
later on in a post. I think our Christmas greetings
from the entire crew.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right, Yeah, I'll the host of cafe. Some Cafi people
gave me some holiday messages. I'll post on Instagram later
tonight after I'm done cooking.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I forgot to do mine. I'm sorry. I just remember,
you have time.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, yeah, you have time. Put it up there, and
then I had a little bit of fun with mine,
of course, completely sacrilegious. What a shocker that one is. Okay,
are you guys ready to do it?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let's do it?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Time for handle on the news.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Heather in for Amy, No Neil in for no Neil
and me lead story. Well, we've been talking about this
with this atmospheric river coming down, and I'm going to defer,
as I always do to our newsperson with some specifics
(06:51):
as to the.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Weather, the amount of rain, how many people are drowning,
all of that.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Well, luckily, no one is drowning so far. They've been
getting the word out pretty well around the area. So
the National Weather Service says downtown LA is likely to
get two to four inches of rain, but places like
the Santa Monica Mountains, San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel and
foothills and Hollywood Hills could get four to eight inches.
I interviewed somebody from the National Weather Service this morning,
(07:19):
Andrew Rourke. He said that what's different about this particular
storm system compared to other rainstorms we get is the
amount of rain in such a short amount of time.
There's going to be a tremendous amount of rain pouring
in the next two days. And there's two storm systems.
There's one that's going to move through today and then
tonight it's going to taper off a little bit and
(07:41):
kind of you know, we'll have a little bit of
a calm, lighter rain, and then it's going to start
right back up again on Christmas Day.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And two people have lost their lives in northern California
already because of the storms. Hopefully it stops of that.
And when you talk about a lot of rain in
a very short period of time, that's instant flooding and
in a big, big way. And you got the burn areas,
the Palisades, they eaten areas and Malibu, I mean, all
of it is kind of nuts. I have not seen
(08:09):
heavy rain yet. I'm in Orange County. I have not
seen heavy rain.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It was coming down pretty good here a little while ago,
and traffic is just a mess.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Will has said he has not seen this much, this
much activity in quite a while.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, so, well, were you gonna have? I guess one word.
The traffic reports horrible and you're done, stay home.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Governor Newsom has declared states of emergency for several areas,
and the six weather events that he's declared emergency for
is the emergency.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Excuse me?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
The six weather events that caused significant damage that he
declared emergency for his were reclaimed states of emergency. Windstorms
in Rancho Cucamonga tsunami and Del Norte County. Am I
saying Del Norte, right, that sounds right? Yeah, Gifford fired
in Gifford Fire area and San Luis Obispo and Santa
Barbara County, monsoon storms in Imperial County, storms and mud
(09:05):
slides in Sierra County, and storms in San Bernardino and Imperio.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
That's throughout the year, it has the governor declared emergencies
right now during this storm, profession, Yes, okay, it's already
been done. Okay, Well we had more to the list, okay. Ooh,
and this was expected.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
This is such a heartbreaking story. Ashley Buzzard her whose
nine year old daughter, Melody Buzzard, had been missing since October.
Everybody was looking for her, you know, we were talking
about this story quite a bit. She was arrested after
the girl's body was found in Utah. Detectives believe the
child was killed after she was seen October ninth near
(09:44):
the Utah Colorado border. FBI analysis confirmed through DNA match
that it was Ashley Buzzard.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
So heartbreaking.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And the newest update, of course, is that she died
from a gunshot wound to the head. And there were
cartridge cases found at Buzzard's home, the mother's home that
match those discovered at the scene in Utah.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, and they weren't charging her because there were no remains, right,
And of course she's not cooperating, and she just says,
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. It
doesn't have to say anything. And if there's nobody, it's
kind of hard to charge. I mean, that's the sort
of you can't do it. It has been done, but
you need a ton of circumstantial evidence, I mean tons
of it, and they didn't have that.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Now they have it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Now they have direct evidence casings and the DNA confirming
that it was in fact Melody. And it's just this,
you know how it is the mother, it's the comprehensive
mother kills her her own child.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This sweet girl. The pictures of her.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Style, and then you saw those videos of them going
into the store, yeah store, and they were both in
wigs and just crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
All right.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
So the DOJ has released thirty thousand items related to
the Epstein files, thirty thousand of the Epstein files. And
this is a little bit interesting because there's more mentions
of President Trump in this one. And Trump has never
been accused by law enforcement of any criminical criminal acts
(11:18):
relating to Epstein, and he vigorously denies any wrongdoing. However,
these latest releases say that the flight records indicate that
Trump traveled a lot more on Epstein's private jet than
had previously been reported.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, this is panning out exactly the way I called it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm going to take kudos on this one, and that
is what these files are going to show out is
just a much closer relationship to Epstein.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Do I think Trump was involved in any of this? Now?
I don't do I think they were very close. Yes,
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And he's separating himself as much as possible. Also, I've
never been.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
On his plane.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's a lie, that's fake. That's the hoax. Look at
the flight records. Yes you were, not that it matters
in his world, but it's you're going to hear as
this thing gets closer and closer to Trump, not the
not the misconduct, not the trafficking or the sexual molestation
of these girls, But as the relationship gets closer and closer,
(12:20):
you are going to hear the word hoax and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Fake news more and more. I guarantee you. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
The DJ is already trying to kind of downplay them
a little bit. They posted on social media.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Play Bill Clinton and I'll play Bill Clinton. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
They're already saying, well, but Clinton was in there, right,
And that's another of the leads to the next story
is that people are saying that the DOJ has sort
of botched the Epstein files release more than they previously
had indicated. Apparently there is a way on the DOJ
website where hackers can highlight the redacted copy and text
(12:56):
and paste it into another document to read the redactions.
So they're saying that the DJ has screwed this up
quite a bit by allowing hackers to be able to
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, technologically speaking, they were just a ham handed about it.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And they're doing this.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That means that they're all the redacted stuff is going
to be available.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
As it should be, don't you think or do you
think not?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
The not the photos or the information of the victims
that do not want to go public, Okay, everybody else absolutely,
Also the names of people, for example, who had met
him at a party or had some slight relationship with
him or some encounter.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I mean, this is one of those where the.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Accusation sticks far more than the reality, So you got
to be really, really careful. But for the most part,
I mean, they're redacting stuff that's unbelievable. I mean they're
redacting everybody on this one or anything close to Trump.
And even so, there's some stuff, I like the flight
logs on the manifests in which Trump's name appears, so
(14:02):
you know, he can't take out everything they tried. Maybe
it's going to get worse for Trump then it's going
to get any better. However, I want to reiterate, and
we have to reiterate what you said and that is,
there is no accusation or evidence that he was involved
in any of those machinations of what Depstein was accused of.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
All right, so you might remember this story from a
few weeks back. A federal grand jury dited four people
who were alleged members of an extremist group.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They've been indicted on.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Attempting to well, I guess, a suspected bombing plot for
SoCal in Los Angeles County and Orange County on New
Year's Eve. Each of them is charged with one count
of providing and attempting to provide materials to support to
terrorists and one count of possession of unregistered firearms.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What's weird about this one is that this is not
particularly political. It's more they hate capitalism in general and
just modern society. You don't see one like isis. You
don't see any kind of reactionary of forces here.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
It's just we hate capitalism. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
The part of something called this Turtle Island Liberation Front
and antwe Well.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That tells you right there, how effective Turtle Island. That's
I guess where they practice. They move very slowly, though
they were easy to catch.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
We got them though, they got Yeah, Oh we got
all right. So we mentioned this story a couple of times. Today,
Open ai is teamed up with nora Ad to.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
To track Santa.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
How do we feel about this is they're using some
tools ELF Enrollment, which allows people to transform their pictures
into something that resembles an ELF, Santa's Toy Lab, which
assists in creating customized toy pictures, and a Christmas story creator,
a fill in the blank's holiday story maker. They're all
using the chat GPT platform with Norad.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I'm going to talk more about the history of Norad
coming up at seven or eight o'clock. It is a
fun story of how this started, how Santa going around
the world and Norad goes back.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
To the mid fifties, and it's just a hilarious story.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Who I'm excited for that. I love learning about history stuff.
I'm a history nerd, like the history buff.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Speaking of tracking Santa, well, now apparently DHS is using
Santa to track what they're calling illegal immigrants. The Department
of Homeland Security has taken a holiday themed campaign and
they are using AI generated clips to show Saint Nick
suiting up for an evening with Ice.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
He's fantastic.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
He's seen cuffing arrestees, booking them, taking them to the facility.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
You know, you think this would be just a.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Smile on your face, find a story shop, or you know,
just some kind of a prank hoax.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
They actually did this.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yes, Santa's buff. If you look at the video, Santa's
like all.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Buffed out beard and he gives a and it's no
smile there, it's a grimace.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And I We're gonna get these illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
He's got on.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
That's what Michelle. Can we put that up?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Let's put it on the Instagram.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, you have to put it at bill handle, show
our Instagram page, because that is just way too good
a story, I mean a photo.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And there.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Apparently they've upped the self deportation payment on the CBP.
I remember when it was one thousand dollars if you
self deport. Now it's three thousand.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So they were like, Christine home, you too can win
three thousand dollars or we'll pay you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
All you have to do is self deport Sure, why not?
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Now all those people that self deported months ago are like,
oh I should have held out.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, got more money, all right.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump refusing to reinstate
for now his ability to send National Guard troops into
Illinois over the objections of its governor. The administration argued
that it needed to federalize the National Guard to have
fight against unremitting violence and ice agents, acts of a
(18:17):
protester whatever, against ice agents and ICE facilities. But Illinois
has said, we don't have those emergency situations here.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You know, there's no rebellion.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, keep in mind that what gives the President the
ability to nationalize the Guard and then bring him into
the city is him declaring there was a rebellion or
danger of rebellion against the US government, and that's what
he is, arguing that these protesters are a.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Danger to the country.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They are rebelling against the government of the United States
and trying to take it over.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Come on. And even the court Supreme Court, which I
thought was going to go the other way.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Really I thought the court absolutely up to this point,
the court has says whatever the President says it is,
it is in his opinion.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
But there's no evidence of any of that, Like it
would be hard to fly in the face of that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Like, there's just no evidence of anybody.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
It's not a question of evidence.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's a question of does the president have the right
to declare and a rebellion and an emergency, and do
the courts have a right to overturn that or does
the president have a right simply because he declares an
emergency with no connection to reality.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
And up to this point, I got to tell you
the courts that are going to the president.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I mean, the one that I couldn't believe is the
argument that the president has complete immunity for any act
during the course of his presidency, and as he argues
that it relates to the presidency.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Ellen A.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Kagan, who is a Supreme Court justice, actually asked the
Solicitor General of the United States was arguing this, or
one of the staff members was in front of the court,
does that mean that the president could order the assassination
of a rival?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And he has the ability to do that under this order?
And the guy said absolutely, Wow, that's and it's and
and the court basically said it, yeah, you know, it's
the president's call. I mean, that's how scary it had gotten,
and it has gotten so at least the court in
this uh, in this instance is saying no, you don't
(20:30):
have the right.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And by the way.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Only Congress has many and many of these rights, like tariffs,
which is going up, and the President says, I want
I'm going to issue the terrorists because I am the
president and I can do whatever the hell I want
to do.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So that's I'm glad the Supreme Court is putting some
limits on this. We'll find out more.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
There's a lot of cases going up, by the way
that we're going to be reporting on that are going
to could be coming out in a new term.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
All right, So we told you before the break that
Illinois was pushing back against the National Guard troops. Well
down in louis they're saying, come on down. Trump administration
will deploy three hundred and fifty National Guard troops there.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is praising the move, saying that
it's going to help them crack down on violence in
the city of New Orleans.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, even though violence murders are way, way, way down.
But it's a political move.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Landry's a Republican and he was just named the envoy
to Greenland, you know, arguing that Greenland should belong to
the United States, that we should annex Greenland, and they're
thrilled about that too. Then Mark is happy, happy, and
of course the fifty first state Canada is very happy.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
All right.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Cracking down on speeders Here in the Los Angeles area,
the California State Transportation Agency, they have a new pilot
program that is collaborating with the DMV and the CHP.
Apparently they're going to be giving anyone a citation for
driving more than one hundred miles an hour and it
is going to be forwarded to the DMV's driver's safety branch.
(22:03):
They'll then review the driver's history and determine if a
license suspension or revocation is necessary.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
How is that possible that that's not already in place.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't know, I would think it would be.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, driving in hunderd miles per hour is not just speeding,
it's it's writing the reckless.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
And I'm talking about legally it's reckless.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And so I don't I don't get how this isn't
happening automatically. So well, you would think it would be
just an automatic and you fight to get it back.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
In uh, San Francisco, let's see, Immigrant drivers of trucks
and other commercial vehicles sued the state for canceling twenty
thousand licenses. They're saying officials bowed to pressure from the
Trump administration and violated state laws for allowing renewal of
the licenses.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, these are we're talking about commercial licenses, and I
don't know if they are they under the auspices of
the federal government, and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I don't think so. I still think it's a state issue.
May be wrong on.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That, all right.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Schools can't bar teachers from telling their parents if their
children are transgender, and judge has ruled that down in
Orange County. They have a constitutional right, the judge says,
to be informed if their child starts to present as
a different gender at school, and schools cannot hide that
information from parents. That was ruled by San Diego judge
(23:29):
federal judge.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's interesting. I mean, do parents have a right to know?
I mean, when you're a kid who is named Jeff
decides that it's going to be Abigail, for example, and
doesn't do so at home, do the parents have a
right to know that? And there's two ways of looking
at that is, of course the parents do I have
a right. However, what if the child is going to
(23:52):
be ostracized or punished or somehow even be abused for
because he or she is taking on the other gender.
Same thing with abortion. By the way, the schools cannot
tell the parents about abortion. A fourteen year old girl
has an abortion in the school knows about it. By law,
they can't inform their parents. And that's a minor. Now,
(24:17):
if the kid is taking an aspirin at school, the
parents are notified.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
It's pretty wild. It is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
I as a mother of a twelve year old, I
would want to know. I would want but you know,
my home is obviously different than other people's home. You know,
everybody's different. But as a parent, I would want to
know if something like that happened.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, here's the other side of reality. Can you imagine
you not knowing?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, like, that's that's impossible.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I mean, you know, no one could sorry about that.
No one's going to keep that hidden. Yeah yeah, I
think we're done. Yeah, Okay, we're done. This is KFI
A M six forty.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
