Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And if peace does break out, it'll be another argument
for no longer the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be
renamed the Trump Peace Prize, of which he will be
the first recipient. By the way, on his face on
the call on the coin, yeah, yeah, exactly. And now
handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle
(00:37):
handle morning crew. As we now start a Taco Tuesday,
October the seventh.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's not only Taco Tuesday, it's National Taco Day.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh so it's a combination. One becomes a I wouldn't
say a holiday, a registered How do they describe that
because it's not a holiday, it's not a national They
actually are two different kinds of days. One Congress declares it,
(01:10):
which is why we have hundreds of days. If you
look at what October seventh is not only National Taco Day,
but if you look at what else it is, there
are dozens and dozens National Hamburger Day, National Parvo Day,
you know, National Pancreatic Cancer Day. It's just there's days
(01:32):
and days and days. So what are the other days?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
By the way, do you have the list of that
by the Incidentally, all the food days are all food days.
There's probably seven of them today. Yeah, oh, I'm sure
there are literally are dozens. So there's two kinds.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There are the kinds that are legitimately and they have
to be voted in by Congress, which of course is
on the consent calendar. Someone just throws it up there
and everybody says yes. Then there are days that are manufactured.
I was once doing a commercial for a company and
they sold a product, I think it was Will's or whatever,
(02:09):
and it was National Will Day, right, And I said, really,
National Will Day? And who came up with that one?
All we did? And did Congress ever say any about No, No,
we just sort of made it up. So those are
the different ones. National Hamburger Day, which also is national.
(02:30):
There's a National Cheeseburger Day, which is different than National
Hamburger Day. Indeed, there's National Cheeseburger done Animal Style Day,
double double.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
And where was the cheeseburger invented? Pasadena?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The cheeseburger was invented Pasadena.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I think so by a young kid.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You're telling me that ground beef up, which has been
around forever. And then a piece of cheese own on it.
A kid invented that in Pasadena and what eight a D.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
No, it's actually not that that long ago. But yeah,
somebody said put it, put it. Put a slice of
cheese on that bad boy, and then and then the
heavens opened.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And so sounds a little bit out there. You know,
it's a sort of urban MYTHI.

some respect anyway, Morning Neil, good morning, Willie Wolf, good morning,
and then aiming morning.

her beauty? Explain that to me?

certainly see Taco Day. I can certainly see National Lettuce Day.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Excuse me, Willie Wolf. Yes, the year was nineteen twenty
four and the road was part of Route sixty six.
That is entire This is urban Myth came to Pasadena

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Good morning Bill and Mike Morris.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And little Bill, good morning. I finally got your name, Mike.
Uh yeah, good for you. How long have you been?
How long have you been with KFI? By the way,
because I have, frankly no idea who you are.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, that's okay, I kind of know who you are, though. Unfortunately, no,
I'm kidding, really unfortunately, I worked with you, as I
mentioned yesterday before in the mid nineties and then was
off KFI for a while.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
A long while, and then I came.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Back to the station a couple of years ago. Now,
why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I wasn't my decision the radio gods, let's put it
that way. I was just working on other stations in
and around Lost Angelis and then came back to k
I two years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh that's wonderful. Well, welcome aboard. That sounds sincere.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Okay, all right, we have it's National bna hole Day.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's that is my celebration. All right, guyslet's do.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Asshole gift.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, it's time for Handle on the News with Amy
Neil and me lead story. Closing time. Airports all over
the country have shut down because the lack of staffing
control tower employees UH and air traffic controllers. The big
one is Hollywood Bird Bank. That's the one that's being covered.
(06:46):
A shut down Hollywood bird Bank completely, no flights in,
no flights out. And uh Hollywood Burbank, which is right
around the corner from us. They said that uh oh
the tower was closed was due to UH staffing. According
to an audio recording, they.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They had no air traffic controllers there. They had somebody
out of San Diego treeac. Let me get the name
of that out of San Diego was handling the air
traffic control. So there were some cancelations and there were
some delays, but it didn't it didn't close.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Okay, I'm just looking at a story CNN where, uh,
there was one of the pilots I was radioing air
traffic control tower and according to an audio received by
Live atc dot Net that CNN's reporting, the recording said
the tower is closed due to staffing. Okay, towers closed,
(07:41):
got it? And uh, all right, what I actually.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
As a pilot, I just I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Hi towers closed. So I think they have a flight
rules when there are no air traffic controllers. I've been
on airplanes and landed at airports where there were no
air traffic controllers, and there's a whole procedure that you
have to do.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
So the left is the arm out the window.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. I mean, wow, it's just crazy.
It's coming back. But this is this government shut down.
We're going to talk a lot more about that because
it's starting to really hit home. And then coming up
at seven, I'm going to explain exactly what is at
(08:22):
State because it's not what you really think it is.
It isn't that simple. And I'll explain that at seven twenty.
Moving on doing.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Whatever it takes, President Trump said he would consider invoking
the Insurrection Act to send military into cities if courts
block his deployment of National Guard troops. As we know,
a judge on Saturday said no, you can't send troops
into Portland from the Oregon National Guard, and then expanded that.
(08:51):
When Trump tried to end around it and send California
National Guard troops, the judge said, no, you can't send
any troops from anywhere. So he said, so far it
hasn't been necessary, but we do have an Insurrection Act
for a reason. He would enacted if he had to.
It's been invoked thirty times in American history, giving the
president power to deploy US armed services to suppress rebellions
(09:13):
and civil unrest.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now legitimately it was used to suppress rebellion and civil unrest,
last one being nineteen ninety two, when Governor Pete Wilson
asked the President to come in with federal troops because
of the riots, the Rodney King riots that certainly looked
like an insurrection to me, certainly looked like a riot.
(09:36):
He is now talking about coming in because of what's
happening locally in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, and he's
deeming that an insurrection, a rebellion against the United States.
Of course, is going to shut that one down too.
I guarantee you, I guarantee you that's not going to
be upheld.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You don't find any irony at all that Donald Trump
is talking about enacting an insurrection. Nothing January sixth, nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, that wasn't an insurrection. That was a peaceful demonstration.
That's why everybody, that's why everybody was pardoned.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Still to this day, I think is one of the
biggest black eyes on American history. But you know, keep
in mind, you could use those words in that but.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
If there was, if there was, let's say there was
a riot. Let me give you an example. Okay, maybe hyperbolic,
and I don't know how far fetched it is. As
we go to twenty twenty eight, let's say, and this
is not Trump doing this, Let's say there is a
genuine movement to extend another term to Donald Trump. And
by the way, I don't doubt this may happen because
(10:48):
there are fanatic Trump followers and now there are legitimate
riots in the streets because of his that he will
not be able to run whatever. Would that be an insurrection? Never,
that is upholding the constitution. That's the problem. What those
people did on January sixth is upheld the Constitution of
(11:10):
the United States. There's a difference. Yeah, it's it's beyond irony.
It is scary, is what it is. And we'll see
if this it's going to go to the Supreme Court,
if he does invoke the Insurrection Act, and we'll see.
I can't I can't imagine the court allowing him just
to say it's an insurrection and it doesn't matter what
(11:31):
it is. He has the power to say this is
an insurrection. Uh. The police chief in Portland said, when
you talk about the quote the riots in Portland, it's
one street, it's encompassed in one major city block, and
that is an insurrection.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Do you think he misspoke and he met intersection?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
All right, all right, fight fight, fight, fight, fight, you've
got tausman. Majordy Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, just yesterday was
challenging Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican to a debate. He says,
let's let's get this out in the open. Let's debate
the government shut down. Let's do it on the floor
(12:16):
of the Lower Chamber. And he also requested primetime, nationally
televised debate. So let's talk about this government shutdown. Let's
say you know, we're approaching a week. Let's let's get
into it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yep. And I'm going to get into it at seven
twenty because usually this would be an easy one to answer,
continuing resolution until we figure out what we're going to
do with the budget, let's just keep on going the
way it is, easy peasy, boy. This one has a
lot more pieces and both sides are right, both sides
are wrong, and a little bit of history too. I'm
(12:55):
going to dive into at seven.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Wouldn't you be interested in watching a debate between the
two of them, because I'm seeing Jeffries is talking and
saying one thing, Johnson is talking saying a complete opposite.
They're both I mean, they're looking at the same picture
and have two different takeaways from it. I would love
to see them go back and forth on it and
see because I don't know what's in the what is it?
(13:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, no, I'll explain it at seven twenty. There is
it is to it. But what I'd like to do
is not just see them go at it in terms
of a debate. I'd like to see him in a fistfight.
Oh no, one of those I vote for Jeffries. You know,
knocking a crap out of Johnson.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You'd hit a guy with glasses.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, especially if he was smaller than me
and half a whimp, which I think Johnson is. And
I get the feeling that Jeffries is. We know, I
don't know the background of Hackeen Jeffries. Did he grow up,
you know, fighting in the hood or where where he
(14:00):
came from. Did he come from a wealthy family in
middle class family? I don't know. It depends on you know,
where people come from. A lot of African American You
know a lot of African Americans come from the hood.
And if you look at statistically, did Mike Johnson or
the Hakim Jeffreys? And by the way, that is just
statistics talking, So leave me alone.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Just a quick question. When you get pulled over and
the cop says, put your hands on the hood, do
you put it on the one in the car, the
one on your head?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You put it on the hood? Up in the air.
You envision a hood three feet above you, and you
grab for that hood is what you do.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
It's okay, grand dragon, go ahead, all right, moving on.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
He grew up in Brooklyn. Maybe they can fight on
the White House lawn for the UF eightieth birthdays. Good idea.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Galline's not getting out for now. The Supreme Court has
rejected an appeal from Gallaine Maxwell. She's, of course the
woman survey twenty year sentence. She used to be tied
closely to Jeffrey Epstein. The justices declined to take up
the case. She had argued that she should have never
been tried or convicted for helping to lure teenage girls
(15:14):
in to be sexually abused by Epstein because of immunity
granted to him. But she's got a twenty year prison term.
She was moved to a low security prison after she
was interviewed by Deputy Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Here's the question, is Trump going to pardon her? He
is equivocal about that. He's asked over and over again.
He goes, I don't know. I have to look at it.
Now we do know. After the conversation with the Deputy
Attorney General, she was moved from a medium security prison
to a prison camp. And that is almost that never
(15:49):
happens with convicted child molesters.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
And they gave her some poison, a gun with one bullet,
a rope.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, not quite your cell, not quite all right.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Trump talking about the government shut down, he says he's
open to some talks. Just kind of crack the door open,
ever so slightly. He says, we have negotiations going on
right now with the Democrats that could lead to very
good things. But and he said this was in regard
to healthcare in particular. But he said, really, we've got
(16:25):
to open the government first.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And then yeah, so he shut the door again, open
and then shut and then.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Just a little bit of l likely.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, but it's shut down. It really is. He's back
to the Republican position. He is a Republican and we're
going to talk more. Not only is a part of
it about health care. It's all about health care. And again,
I keep on pushing seven twenty will be the topic
when I cover.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
This doctor or doc.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
The new acting director of US Centers for Disease Control
and has announced changes to recommendation vaccine schedules for adults.
When it comes to COVID nineteen and for kids when
it comes to chicken pox. For adults, it's saying the
decision on whether you should get the vaccine should be
based on your individual based decision making in consult and
(17:19):
consultation with a doctor. The CDC has officially lifted its
recommendation that adults under sixty five get the vaccine.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, it's all over the place. It's just crazy, you
know it changes. Did anybody see the sixty minute piece
this past Sunday? There is a story all vaccine d
There is a vaccine story, and I think we should
do it. There's something called vaccine Court that the government has.
(17:46):
It's legitimately vaccine court. And these are people that have
reacted to vaccines negatively and they're not suing the manufacture
of the vaccine. What they're doing is going into vaccine court.
It's like a no fault like workers comp no fault
(18:06):
like the State of California. It's you go in front
of administrative judge and did it happen, did it not happen?
Was it at work? Was it not work? And then
there is the statutory money that you get and it's
we have to do it because it is fascinating as
to how that works. Literally, vaccine court. I was looking
at this and I went, wow, that's impressive. That's kind
(18:29):
of interesting. We're going to end up doing that.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Okay, all right, So it's price of parking when you
can find it in Los Angeles is going up. Meter
prices will jump by fifty cents per hour for the
city's thirty five thousand paid spaces, so the new cost
is expected to be in effect by the end of
this month, and the Department of Transportation says the current
(18:55):
prices range from a buck to eight point fifty per hour,
depending on the location. But it was passed by the
city council. Yeah, why not horrible, but well I still
just a pain.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know. It hasn't been raised in ten years, so
it's time prices now, I didn't know this. Meter prices
in general are going to go at fifty cents an hour, okay,
not the end of the not the end of the world.
So currently they're a dollar to eight fifty per hour.
Where do you pay eight dollars and fifty cents an
(19:28):
hour for parking on the street on a meter?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
No, all over the place?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh seriously, eight fifty an hour on a parking meter.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, you use your credit card, your debits.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, obviously you're using your credit card. I mean, let's
say you're buying two hours. Are you going to put
in sixteen dollars seventeen dollars in quarters?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Well, see, that's the crazy thing, is like when you
only need a small amount. Nobody has quarters anymore because
everything's well over a dollar to park.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, and I don't have any quarters. I use them
all at strip clubs.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Jeez, they're all the dancers are ow ow, mister handelpleet
ow right now, Moving.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
On surprise, another lawsuit against Trump and Illinois and Chicago
both filed suit to block the deployment of the National
Guard to Chicago. The lawsuit says it needs the temporary
restraining order because deployment would cause additional unrest and mistrust
of police and would harm the state's economy. Now, a
(20:34):
judge declined to issue that temporary restraining order yesterday afternoon,
and troops are on their way.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, and they'll hear it. I mean, the court will
hear it. But this is a judge, and this unusual.
Usually you a judge would halt this pending a determination
on the facts. Went the other way. This is both
the state and the city are suing to stop the deployment,
but the deployment has amy. Just that is happening.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
All right. Back in twenty twenty, if you remember, the
high profile position in the opinion section of The New
York Times was held by Bari Weiss, and they left
because of bullying. And she said that her colleagues and
it was a hostile work environment and all those things. Well,
(21:25):
she started the Free Press. It's been around for about
four years, a digital news platform, and it's been purchased
by Paramount. And so now she is going to be
the editor in chief of CBS News, they announced yesterday,
and they're going to try and scratch back, you know,
(21:46):
at a true journalistic editorial standards.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Tadah, Yeah, I mean, are you back do you remember
four years ago Barry Weiss or Bari Weiss? Of course
we all remember who Barry Weiss was.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Who's Bari Weiss?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Who the hell knows?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Well, she's gonna build journalistic standards, mister.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
More officials doubling up under Trump.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank bissign no no will also take.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
On the newly and just applauded me on that we'll.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Take on the newly created role of chief Executive Officer
of the Internal Revenue Service. So Bisignano was the CEO
of the payment's multinational FI serve before being confirmed as
head of Social Security in May.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So he's going to double up and.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Then Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is going to stay the
acting commissioner of the IRS.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Did the Trump administation cut funding to the IRS?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I'm trying to think yes during the doze stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, which I've always wondered why the i r
S isn't so fully funded because it makes money for
the government. It is the the government's collector of tax money,
and you'd want to increase its ability to collect tax
as opposed to decrease.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Yeah. I can't remember, but it feels I think so.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think I think funding for the i r S
was cut if I'm not mistaken, and I could be
wrong on that. So when the when the emails come,
Oh Ann is looking this up right now, and while
we're waiting, Dude.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm going to wait till answer it, because I thought
that they cut the funding that was added by the
last a minute that.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Could be that could be and I don't know the answer,
and Ann is coming up with the answer right now,
and she is going to tell us, Yeah, no he
has not Okay, yeah, that was a question, all rights.
He has not cut the fund this went around. Huh no,
not this time around.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
It says former President Donald Trump oversaw a period of
chronic underfunding for the IRS during his presidency.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Right, well, I don't know what that means. Saw a
period of underfunding? Was that put in by the Biden administration?
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
All right, guys, the bomb?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
What I did?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Clever clever girl. Hey, if you remember the senior member
of LA Mayor Bass, Karen Bass, her staff was just
sentenced to a year of probation and fifty hours of
community service. Why calling in a fake bomb threat? He
told the judge it stemmed from mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And yeah, what else again they throw that at the
judge no matter what, no matter what, it's either abused
as a child or mental health issues. It's never It
was stupid and rotten, and I was I decided I
was going to be in an a hole.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
He is Brian Williams Black Bill. Do you want to
maybe reference whether he grew up grew up in a ghetto,
and you know, I.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Have to tell you, I'm never mind. I want to
go there, and I'm sure we're gonna get emails.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
And it's like, it's weird. You have two sets of teeth,
two lips, and only one tone. Yet it still gets
out it, it still gets past those things.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, I know, I know. So by the way, it's
I'd love to know if what I said was true.
Just by the way, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
repeat that because it's said I'm gonna get hassle, mainly
from Neil.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
All Right, moving on something fishy.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Law enforcement are saying, uh, so far, it doesn't look
like this fire was intentionally set. But a fire engulfed
the home of a state judge and a former Democratic
state senator in South Carolina. It happen and on Saturday,
three people had to go to the hospital. Property record
show The home is owned by Circuit Court judge Diane
(26:06):
Goodstein and her husband, Arnold Goodstein, a former Democratic state senator.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Did you see the video of this house on fire
fully evolved? I mean, it looked like it looked like.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
It was in a movie like Gone with a Wind.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it was really impressive, just to say the least.
And they're saying it's probably not Arson. Everybody assumed it
was Arson because here is a time it was. Yeah,
it's and also the assumption now it's Arson. Yeah, I
got assumption is a I make certain assumptions.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
I won't mention them, but yes, we do assume.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Family members of Celesti Revas Hernandez. She's the fourteen year
old girl that was found dismembered in the trunk of
that impounded tesla owned by that multi platinum R and
B singer David. This still captures a lot of people's
curiosity because there has been no direction as to what's
(27:07):
going on with this. It was but you know, you
think back she was so that she's like fourteen or
fifteen or whatever is she now, but she was thirteen
when she went missing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, and they found her because she was in that
car his tesla, and she had been there for a while.
Decomposing him is horrific, and I think he moved out.
So he moved out. He's gone from that property and
there was a lease there and I'm sure there's going
to be all kinds of leass all kinds of legal
(27:42):
issues there. He has not been connected to that at
this point, and it doesn't look like it.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
What you don't think he's connected to it somehow.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I don't think they have connected him, I said. He
has not yet been connected From what we're.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hearing, he is said to be cooperating with investigators.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Okay, and do we get in rap from what I understand,
and his name D four VD. It's a big fan
of venereal disease clearly in Okay, moving on.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Finally, the trial is starting more than four years after
the family of deceased Angels pitcher Tyler Skag filed their
wrongful death lawsuit against the Angels. Jury selections getting underway.
Skag's widow, Carly and his parents are seeking at least
two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings and damages.
(28:39):
They contend that the Angels were responsible for the death
of the twenty seven year old left handed pitcher. It
happened back on July first of twenty nineteen. He snorted
some crushed pills that had fentanyl in them in a
hotel room during a team road trip in Texas.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
They're asking, and there's a real issue because it was
who was it on the team that gave him the drugs?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
The communication director?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, And the allegation is the team knew about it,
management knew that it was happening. So that's that's the problem.
Obviously for the team. He's asking for or they're asking
for two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings
and damages. Now you have a twenty seven year old
picture and you're asking two hundred and what ten million dollars?
(29:30):
How I'm just doing the math here. How long would
the average twenty seven year old picture last in the
major leagues? Maybe another four years? And I don't know
what he was making. I'm sure he wasn't making forty
million dollars a year, So the numbers always are huge
(29:50):
in a pre trial hearing. Now the plaintiffs are asking
for a billion dollars, but this is what lawyers do
in any case. It is a horrid story. He snorted
crush pills in a hotel room in Texas on during
a game.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
He was making three point seven million a year.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It certainly isn't a billion dollars in damages. But then
you also have the wrongful death aspect of it too.
All right, KF I am six forty. You've been listening
to the Bill handle Show. Catch my show Monday through Friday,
six am to nine am, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And if peace does break out, it'll be another argument
for no longer the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be
renamed the Trump Peace Prize, of which he will be
the first recipient. By the way, on his face on
the call on the coin, yeah, yeah, exactly. And now
handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle
(00:37):
handle morning crew. As we now start a Taco Tuesday,
October the seventh.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's not only Taco Tuesday, it's National Taco Day.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh so it's a combination. One becomes a I wouldn't
say a holiday, a registered How do they describe that
because it's not a holiday, it's not a national They
actually are two different kinds of days. One Congress declares it,
(01:10):
which is why we have hundreds of days. If you
look at what October seventh is not only National Taco Day,
but if you look at what else it is, there
are dozens and dozens National Hamburger Day, National Parvo Day,
you know, National Pancreatic Cancer Day. It's just there's days
(01:32):
and days and days. So what are the other days?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
By the way, do you have the list of that
by the Incidentally, all the food days are all food days.
There's probably seven of them today. Yeah, oh, I'm sure
there are literally are dozens. So there's two kinds.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
There are the kinds that are legitimately and they have
to be voted in by Congress, which of course is
on the consent calendar. Someone just throws it up there
and everybody says yes. Then there are days that are manufactured.
I was once doing a commercial for a company and
they sold a product, I think it was Will's or whatever,
(02:09):
and it was National Will Day, right, And I said, really,
National Will Day? And who came up with that one?
All we did? And did Congress ever say any about No, No,
we just sort of made it up. So those are
the different ones. National Hamburger Day, which also is national.
(02:30):
There's a National Cheeseburger Day, which is different than National
Hamburger Day. Indeed, there's National Cheeseburger done Animal Style Day,
double double.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
And where was the cheeseburger invented? Pasadena?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The cheeseburger was invented Pasadena.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I think so by a young kid.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You're telling me that ground beef up, which has been
around forever. And then a piece of cheese own on it.
A kid invented that in Pasadena and what eight a D.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
No, it's actually not that that long ago. But yeah,
somebody said put it, put it. Put a slice of
cheese on that bad boy, and then and then the
heavens opened.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And so sounds a little bit out there. You know,
it's a sort of urban MYTHI.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Ish, I'm you know, fing fork reporter. You better have
some respect anyway, Morning Neil, good morning, Willie Wolf, good morning,
and then aiming morning.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Good morning Bill. It's also National Forgiveness and Happiness Day.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well that leaves me out.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Okay, how about National frope Day.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm not big on Frope's. What else?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Nationalrape?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
What?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
National led Light Day?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Uh? L e D Light Day? Yeah? Yeah, I hoping
you were going to say LSD Light No, not LSD No.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
National Inner Beauty Day.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't even know what that is. What is in
her beauty? Explain that to me?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Okay, how about this one? You matter to me day?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
See, now we're getting vomitous. I mean, really, who comes
up with that? I can see Hamburger Day, I can
certainly see Taco Day. I can certainly see National Lettuce Day.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Excuse me, Willie Wolf. Yes, the year was nineteen twenty
four and the road was part of Route sixty six.
That is entire This is urban Myth came to Pasadena
(04:39):
drawing your prol in a microwave Sturban Myth was working
as his dad's at his dad's restaurant in southwest corner
of Colorado twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Four Cheeseburger Day. All right, yeah, that's just insanity.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Urban Mystery, Urban Myth Gerbil in the operating room, Richard
gear open, you know who created the cheese Gerbil? And
where was it? Gets Richard, where was No, we're not
going to go into that, all right, And there is
(05:17):
the Hello Kono, Hello, and good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Good morning Bill and Mike Morris.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And little Bill, good morning. I finally got your name, Mike.
Uh yeah, good for you. How long have you been?
How long have you been with KFI? By the way,
because I have, frankly no idea who you are.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, that's okay, I kind of know who you are, though. Unfortunately, no,
I'm kidding, really unfortunately, I worked with you, as I
mentioned yesterday before in the mid nineties and then was
off KFI for a while.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
A long while, and then I came.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Back to the station a couple of years ago. Now,
why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I wasn't my decision the radio gods, let's put it
that way. I was just working on other stations in
and around Lost Angelis and then came back to k
I two years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Oh that's wonderful. Well, welcome aboard. That sounds sincere.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Okay, all right, we have it's National bna hole Day.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's that is my celebration. All right, guyslet's do.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Asshole gift.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, it's time for Handle on the News with Amy
Neil and me lead story. Closing time. Airports all over
the country have shut down because the lack of staffing
control tower employees UH and air traffic controllers. The big
one is Hollywood Bird Bank. That's the one that's being covered.
(06:46):
A shut down Hollywood bird Bank completely, no flights in,
no flights out. And uh Hollywood Burbank, which is right
around the corner from us. They said that uh oh
the tower was closed was due to UH staffing. According
to an audio recording, they.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
They had no air traffic controllers there. They had somebody
out of San Diego treeac. Let me get the name
of that out of San Diego was handling the air
traffic control. So there were some cancelations and there were
some delays, but it didn't it didn't close.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Okay, I'm just looking at a story CNN where, uh,
there was one of the pilots I was radioing air
traffic control tower and according to an audio received by
Live atc dot Net that CNN's reporting, the recording said
the tower is closed due to staffing. Okay, towers closed,
(07:41):
got it? And uh, all right, what I actually.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
As a pilot, I just I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Hi towers closed. So I think they have a flight
rules when there are no air traffic controllers. I've been
on airplanes and landed at airports where there were no
air traffic controllers, and there's a whole procedure that you
have to do.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
So the left is the arm out the window.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much. I mean, wow, it's just crazy.
It's coming back. But this is this government shut down.
We're going to talk a lot more about that because
it's starting to really hit home. And then coming up
at seven, I'm going to explain exactly what is at
(08:22):
State because it's not what you really think it is.
It isn't that simple. And I'll explain that at seven twenty.
Moving on doing.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Whatever it takes, President Trump said he would consider invoking
the Insurrection Act to send military into cities if courts
block his deployment of National Guard troops. As we know,
a judge on Saturday said no, you can't send troops
into Portland from the Oregon National Guard, and then expanded that.
(08:51):
When Trump tried to end around it and send California
National Guard troops, the judge said, no, you can't send
any troops from anywhere. So he said, so far it
hasn't been necessary, but we do have an Insurrection Act
for a reason. He would enacted if he had to.
It's been invoked thirty times in American history, giving the
president power to deploy US armed services to suppress rebellions
(09:13):
and civil unrest.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now legitimately it was used to suppress rebellion and civil unrest,
last one being nineteen ninety two, when Governor Pete Wilson
asked the President to come in with federal troops because
of the riots, the Rodney King riots that certainly looked
like an insurrection to me, certainly looked like a riot.
(09:36):
He is now talking about coming in because of what's
happening locally in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, and he's
deeming that an insurrection, a rebellion against the United States.
Of course, is going to shut that one down too.
I guarantee you, I guarantee you that's not going to
be upheld.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
You don't find any irony at all that Donald Trump
is talking about enacting an insurrection. Nothing January sixth, nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
No, that wasn't an insurrection. That was a peaceful demonstration.
That's why everybody, that's why everybody was pardoned.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Still to this day, I think is one of the
biggest black eyes on American history. But you know, keep
in mind, you could use those words in that but.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
If there was, if there was, let's say there was
a riot. Let me give you an example. Okay, maybe hyperbolic,
and I don't know how far fetched it is. As
we go to twenty twenty eight, let's say, and this
is not Trump doing this, Let's say there is a
genuine movement to extend another term to Donald Trump. And
by the way, I don't doubt this may happen because
(10:48):
there are fanatic Trump followers and now there are legitimate
riots in the streets because of his that he will
not be able to run whatever. Would that be an insurrection? Never,
that is upholding the constitution. That's the problem. What those
people did on January sixth is upheld the Constitution of
(11:10):
the United States. There's a difference. Yeah, it's it's beyond irony.
It is scary, is what it is. And we'll see
if this it's going to go to the Supreme Court,
if he does invoke the Insurrection Act, and we'll see.
I can't I can't imagine the court allowing him just
to say it's an insurrection and it doesn't matter what
(11:31):
it is. He has the power to say this is
an insurrection. Uh. The police chief in Portland said, when
you talk about the quote the riots in Portland, it's
one street, it's encompassed in one major city block, and
that is an insurrection.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Do you think he misspoke and he met intersection?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:56):
All right, all right, fight fight, fight, fight, fight, you've
got tausman. Majordy Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, just yesterday was
challenging Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican to a debate. He says,
let's let's get this out in the open. Let's debate
the government shut down. Let's do it on the floor
(12:16):
of the Lower Chamber. And he also requested primetime, nationally
televised debate. So let's talk about this government shutdown. Let's
say you know, we're approaching a week. Let's let's get
into it.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yep. And I'm going to get into it at seven
twenty because usually this would be an easy one to answer,
continuing resolution until we figure out what we're going to
do with the budget, let's just keep on going the
way it is, easy peasy, boy. This one has a
lot more pieces and both sides are right, both sides
are wrong, and a little bit of history too. I'm
(12:55):
going to dive into at seven.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Wouldn't you be interested in watching a debate between the
two of them, because I'm seeing Jeffries is talking and
saying one thing, Johnson is talking saying a complete opposite.
They're both I mean, they're looking at the same picture
and have two different takeaways from it. I would love
to see them go back and forth on it and
see because I don't know what's in the what is it?
(13:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, no, I'll explain it at seven twenty. There is
it is to it. But what I'd like to do
is not just see them go at it in terms
of a debate. I'd like to see him in a fistfight.
Oh no, one of those I vote for Jeffries. You know,
knocking a crap out of Johnson.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
You'd hit a guy with glasses.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, especially if he was smaller than me
and half a whimp, which I think Johnson is. And
I get the feeling that Jeffries is. We know, I
don't know the background of Hackeen Jeffries. Did he grow up,
you know, fighting in the hood or where where he
(14:00):
came from. Did he come from a wealthy family in
middle class family? I don't know. It depends on you know,
where people come from. A lot of African American You
know a lot of African Americans come from the hood.
And if you look at statistically, did Mike Johnson or
the Hakim Jeffreys? And by the way, that is just
statistics talking, So leave me alone.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Just a quick question. When you get pulled over and
the cop says, put your hands on the hood, do
you put it on the one in the car, the
one on your head?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You put it on the hood? Up in the air.
You envision a hood three feet above you, and you
grab for that hood is what you do.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
It's okay, grand dragon, go ahead, all right, moving on.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
He grew up in Brooklyn. Maybe they can fight on
the White House lawn for the UF eightieth birthdays. Good idea.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Galline's not getting out for now. The Supreme Court has
rejected an appeal from Gallaine Maxwell. She's, of course the
woman survey twenty year sentence. She used to be tied
closely to Jeffrey Epstein. The justices declined to take up
the case. She had argued that she should have never
been tried or convicted for helping to lure teenage girls
(15:14):
in to be sexually abused by Epstein because of immunity
granted to him. But she's got a twenty year prison term.
She was moved to a low security prison after she
was interviewed by Deputy Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Here's the question, is Trump going to pardon her? He
is equivocal about that. He's asked over and over again.
He goes, I don't know. I have to look at it.
Now we do know. After the conversation with the Deputy
Attorney General, she was moved from a medium security prison
to a prison camp. And that is almost that never
(15:49):
happens with convicted child molesters.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
And they gave her some poison, a gun with one bullet,
a rope.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, not quite your cell, not quite all right.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Trump talking about the government shut down, he says he's
open to some talks. Just kind of crack the door open,
ever so slightly. He says, we have negotiations going on
right now with the Democrats that could lead to very
good things. But and he said this was in regard
to healthcare in particular. But he said, really, we've got
(16:25):
to open the government first.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And then yeah, so he shut the door again, open
and then shut and then.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Just a little bit of l likely.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, but it's shut down. It really is. He's back
to the Republican position. He is a Republican and we're
going to talk more. Not only is a part of
it about health care. It's all about health care. And again,
I keep on pushing seven twenty will be the topic
when I cover.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
This doctor or doc.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
The new acting director of US Centers for Disease Control
and has announced changes to recommendation vaccine schedules for adults.
When it comes to COVID nineteen and for kids when
it comes to chicken pox. For adults, it's saying the
decision on whether you should get the vaccine should be
based on your individual based decision making in consult and
(17:19):
consultation with a doctor. The CDC has officially lifted its
recommendation that adults under sixty five get the vaccine.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, it's all over the place. It's just crazy, you
know it changes. Did anybody see the sixty minute piece
this past Sunday? There is a story all vaccine d
There is a vaccine story, and I think we should
do it. There's something called vaccine Court that the government has.
(17:46):
It's legitimately vaccine court. And these are people that have
reacted to vaccines negatively and they're not suing the manufacture
of the vaccine. What they're doing is going into vaccine court.
It's like a no fault like workers comp no fault
(18:06):
like the State of California. It's you go in front
of administrative judge and did it happen, did it not happen?
Was it at work? Was it not work? And then
there is the statutory money that you get and it's
we have to do it because it is fascinating as
to how that works. Literally, vaccine court. I was looking
at this and I went, wow, that's impressive. That's kind
(18:29):
of interesting. We're going to end up doing that.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Okay, all right, So it's price of parking when you
can find it in Los Angeles is going up. Meter
prices will jump by fifty cents per hour for the
city's thirty five thousand paid spaces, so the new cost
is expected to be in effect by the end of
this month, and the Department of Transportation says the current
(18:55):
prices range from a buck to eight point fifty per hour,
depending on the location. But it was passed by the
city council. Yeah, why not horrible, but well I still
just a pain.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know. It hasn't been raised in ten years, so
it's time prices now, I didn't know this. Meter prices
in general are going to go at fifty cents an hour, okay,
not the end of the not the end of the world.
So currently they're a dollar to eight fifty per hour.
Where do you pay eight dollars and fifty cents an
(19:28):
hour for parking on the street on a meter?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
No, all over the place?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh seriously, eight fifty an hour on a parking meter.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, you use your credit card, your debits.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, obviously you're using your credit card. I mean, let's
say you're buying two hours. Are you going to put
in sixteen dollars seventeen dollars in quarters?
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Well, see, that's the crazy thing, is like when you
only need a small amount. Nobody has quarters anymore because
everything's well over a dollar to park.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, and I don't have any quarters. I use them
all at strip clubs.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Jeez, they're all the dancers are ow ow, mister handelpleet
ow right now, Moving.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
On surprise, another lawsuit against Trump and Illinois and Chicago
both filed suit to block the deployment of the National
Guard to Chicago. The lawsuit says it needs the temporary
restraining order because deployment would cause additional unrest and mistrust
of police and would harm the state's economy. Now, a
(20:34):
judge declined to issue that temporary restraining order yesterday afternoon,
and troops are on their way.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, and they'll hear it. I mean, the court will
hear it. But this is a judge, and this unusual.
Usually you a judge would halt this pending a determination
on the facts. Went the other way. This is both
the state and the city are suing to stop the deployment,
but the deployment has amy. Just that is happening.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
All right. Back in twenty twenty, if you remember, the
high profile position in the opinion section of The New
York Times was held by Bari Weiss, and they left
because of bullying. And she said that her colleagues and
it was a hostile work environment and all those things. Well,
(21:25):
she started the Free Press. It's been around for about
four years, a digital news platform, and it's been purchased
by Paramount. And so now she is going to be
the editor in chief of CBS News, they announced yesterday,
and they're going to try and scratch back, you know,
(21:46):
at a true journalistic editorial standards.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Tadah, Yeah, I mean, are you back do you remember
four years ago Barry Weiss or Bari Weiss? Of course
we all remember who Barry Weiss was.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Who's Bari Weiss?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Who the hell knows?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Well, she's gonna build journalistic standards, mister.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
More officials doubling up under Trump.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank bissign no no will also take.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
On the newly and just applauded me on that we'll.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Take on the newly created role of chief Executive Officer
of the Internal Revenue Service. So Bisignano was the CEO
of the payment's multinational FI serve before being confirmed as
head of Social Security in May.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
So he's going to double up and.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Then Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is going to stay the
acting commissioner of the IRS.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Did the Trump administation cut funding to the IRS?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I'm trying to think yes during the doze stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, which I've always wondered why the i r
S isn't so fully funded because it makes money for
the government. It is the the government's collector of tax money,
and you'd want to increase its ability to collect tax
as opposed to decrease.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Yeah. I can't remember, but it feels I think so.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think I think funding for the i r S
was cut if I'm not mistaken, and I could be
wrong on that. So when the when the emails come,
Oh Ann is looking this up right now, and while
we're waiting, Dude.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
I'm going to wait till answer it, because I thought
that they cut the funding that was added by the
last a minute that.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Could be that could be and I don't know the answer,
and Ann is coming up with the answer right now,
and she is going to tell us, Yeah, no he
has not Okay, yeah, that was a question, all rights.
He has not cut the fund this went around. Huh no,
not this time around.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
It says former President Donald Trump oversaw a period of
chronic underfunding for the IRS during his presidency.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Right, well, I don't know what that means. Saw a
period of underfunding? Was that put in by the Biden administration?
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
All right, guys, the bomb?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
What I did?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Clever clever girl. Hey, if you remember the senior member
of LA Mayor Bass, Karen Bass, her staff was just
sentenced to a year of probation and fifty hours of
community service. Why calling in a fake bomb threat? He
told the judge it stemmed from mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And yeah, what else again they throw that at the
judge no matter what, no matter what, it's either abused
as a child or mental health issues. It's never It
was stupid and rotten, and I was I decided I
was going to be in an a hole.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
He is Brian Williams Black Bill. Do you want to
maybe reference whether he grew up grew up in a ghetto,
and you know, I.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Have to tell you, I'm never mind. I want to
go there, and I'm sure we're gonna get emails.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
And it's like, it's weird. You have two sets of teeth,
two lips, and only one tone. Yet it still gets
out it, it still gets past those things.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, I know, I know. So by the way, it's
I'd love to know if what I said was true.
Just by the way, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
repeat that because it's said I'm gonna get hassle, mainly
from Neil.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
All Right, moving on something fishy.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Law enforcement are saying, uh, so far, it doesn't look
like this fire was intentionally set. But a fire engulfed
the home of a state judge and a former Democratic
state senator in South Carolina. It happen and on Saturday,
three people had to go to the hospital. Property record
show The home is owned by Circuit Court judge Diane
(26:06):
Goodstein and her husband, Arnold Goodstein, a former Democratic state senator.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Did you see the video of this house on fire
fully evolved? I mean, it looked like it looked like.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
It was in a movie like Gone with a Wind.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it was really impressive, just to say the least.
And they're saying it's probably not Arson. Everybody assumed it
was Arson because here is a time it was. Yeah,
it's and also the assumption now it's Arson. Yeah, I
got assumption is a I make certain assumptions.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
I won't mention them, but yes, we do assume.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
So.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Family members of Celesti Revas Hernandez. She's the fourteen year
old girl that was found dismembered in the trunk of
that impounded tesla owned by that multi platinum R and
B singer David. This still captures a lot of people's
curiosity because there has been no direction as to what's
(27:07):
going on with this. It was but you know, you
think back she was so that she's like fourteen or
fifteen or whatever is she now, but she was thirteen
when she went missing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, and they found her because she was in that
car his tesla, and she had been there for a while.
Decomposing him is horrific, and I think he moved out.
So he moved out. He's gone from that property and
there was a lease there and I'm sure there's going
to be all kinds of leass all kinds of legal
(27:42):
issues there. He has not been connected to that at
this point, and it doesn't look like it.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
What you don't think he's connected to it somehow.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I don't think they have connected him, I said. He
has not yet been connected From what we're.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hearing, he is said to be cooperating with investigators.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Okay, and do we get in rap from what I understand,
and his name D four VD. It's a big fan
of venereal disease clearly in Okay, moving on.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Finally, the trial is starting more than four years after
the family of deceased Angels pitcher Tyler Skag filed their
wrongful death lawsuit against the Angels. Jury selections getting underway.
Skag's widow, Carly and his parents are seeking at least
two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings and damages.
(28:39):
They contend that the Angels were responsible for the death
of the twenty seven year old left handed pitcher. It
happened back on July first of twenty nineteen. He snorted
some crushed pills that had fentanyl in them in a
hotel room during a team road trip in Texas.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
They're asking, and there's a real issue because it was
who was it on the team that gave him the drugs?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
The communication director?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, And the allegation is the team knew about it,
management knew that it was happening. So that's that's the problem.
Obviously for the team. He's asking for or they're asking
for two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings
and damages. Now you have a twenty seven year old
picture and you're asking two hundred and what ten million dollars?
(29:30):
How I'm just doing the math here. How long would
the average twenty seven year old picture last in the
major leagues? Maybe another four years? And I don't know
what he was making. I'm sure he wasn't making forty
million dollars a year, So the numbers always are huge
(29:50):
in a pre trial hearing. Now the plaintiffs are asking
for a billion dollars, but this is what lawyers do
in any case. It is a horrid story. He snorted
crush pills in a hotel room in Texas on during
a game.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
He was making three point seven million a year.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It certainly isn't a billion dollars in damages. But then
you also have the wrongful death aspect of it too.
