No, it's reflective who 69 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.079 gave you free clothing? Exactly, Thank you. 70 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:32.120 I agree. 71 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.839 Amy King is here, Amo King, Oh, giving us the news. 72 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:36.680 Good morning. 73 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.480 I love it when there's breaking news and you are here. 74 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:41.399 Now. 75 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.120 One of the things that we're watching today is some 76 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.399 kind of a press conference slash rally in front of 77 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.240 the Criminal Courts Building in downtown LA on behalf of 78 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.439 the Menendez brothers, and I believe KFI News Michael Monks 79 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.480 is going to be there covering it. And I bring 80 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.759 this up because unfortunately, because we're on so early, I 81 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.879 doubt it's happening while we're on the air, so we 82 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.360 won't really have we will not have the pleasure of 83 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.279 scooping it for you. But I'm sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, 84 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.360 when you know, when it happens, KFI News will be 85 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.720 all over whatever whatever it is, and we'll talk about 86 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.759 that in a little bit, including here on Handle on 87 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.920 the News, Kno good morning running the board. I must say, 88 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.879 the faces of people when there are momentary glitches in 89 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:38.160 the networking is priceless. It is, it is. It's massive 90 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.360 panic time. And the thing about it is this, there's 91 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:49.040 nothing that can be done. It used to be, and Neil, 92 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.920 you've been around long enough to know this. In radio, 93 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.759 it used to be you had a microphone and you 94 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.879 had a cable and then it just went directly into 95 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.600 an antenna and broadcast to the war world and that 96 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.920 was it. And if there were any problems, you only 97 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.759 had three things to look at, a microphone, a cable, 98 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.959 and the antenna. But now you have, like our show, 99 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.480 everybody is in a different studio room, and you've got 100 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.480 all the kinds of other audio elements that are played, 101 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.639 and you've got tons and tons of cabling that goes 102 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.199 everywhere and around and through to connect everybody back and forth. 103 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.399 And this is not just in radio. Everything has become 104 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:37.319 so technologically complex that it has eclipsed our ability to 105 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:44.800 understand it or to troubleshoot it. The technology itself is 106 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:50.720 craftier than our ability to understand everything about how it works. 107 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:57.959 And this is why we are forever rebooting things, because 108 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.040 it's we throw up our hands and and go, He'll 109 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.839 reboot it, And meanwhile. 110 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.800 They're gremlin You remember the Jeff Levy Show. Sure Peter 111 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.920 Guy back in the day, Yes, rest his soul. That 112 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.120 used to be his answer to just about every question. 113 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.000 Try a dry reboot, yes, because that's all we have. 114 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.040 And I've wondered if the tech you know they talk 115 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.079 about AI is going to become so smart and then 116 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.600 it could maybe even turn against us, which I don't know, 117 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.360 but I feel already there are certain things going on 118 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.399 with our tech, not AI. I'm talking about our regular 119 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.759 like internet computers, your Wi Fi routers, all these things, 120 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.680 and there are little gremlins in there, and they are 121 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:49.160 sentient and they like to mess things up, and then 122 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.639 they love it when we go, oh, we better reboot. 123 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.480 And once in a while they go, you know what, 124 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.120 he's rebooted five times. Let's stop it for a while. 125 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.639 Let's cut it out for a while and let him 126 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.519 think that rebooting thing five times worked. And they go 127 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.079 have a smoke, you know, and then they come back 128 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.879 later and they start up their shenanigans again. And I 129 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.720 do think, if we want to make this seriousness for 130 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.680 a second, I do think we're at the point now 131 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.560 where we are capable. We're absolutely capable of creating technology 132 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.120 that we don't fully understand, and they can get ahead 133 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.000 of us. And I want to sound like a luttite. 134 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.680 It's not like I'm going to be like a ludite 135 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.600 and come in there and smash, you know, the consoles 136 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.319 or anything. But I think it's time to start thinking 137 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:31.920 about that. 138 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.600 A small little four hundred square foot cabin somewhere up 139 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.240 in the mountain, start whittling, yeah, thinking about how the world. 140 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.759 You never have to. When was the last time you 141 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.039 had to reboot your whitlet knife. 142 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.759 I'd be an excellent point. 143 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:53.279 You never have to reboot an actual book. You're never 144 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:55.440 reading a book and then you're like, I can't turn 145 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:59.720 the page on this book. Oh, reboot, it doesn't happen. 146 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.200 The Biden administration has told Israel it better start allowing 147 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:10.000 a lot more humanitarian aid into Gaza or we will 148 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:14.960 stop giving them weapons. Now, part of that may be 149 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.519 a philosophical belief on the part of the Biden administration 150 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.240 that this is the right thing to do. But another 151 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.120 reason this is happening is because, guess what. The laws 152 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.600 of the United States prohibit us giving military aid to 153 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:33.559 countries that block the delivery of US humanitarian assistance. So 154 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.559 if we are sending stuff to Gaza and Israel's not 155 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.279 letting it through, we're technically not allowed to be giving 156 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.879 them weapons. So Secretary of State Blincoln Defense Secretary Austin 157 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:52.879 sent this, I assume strongly worded letter to their counterparts 158 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.159 over in Israel. And this comes right after Netan Yahoo 159 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.639 was talking about, Oh, here's what we're going to do. 160 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.399 We're going to tell anybody to get out of Gaza. 161 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.639 And then we're gonna conclude anybody who's still there is Hamas, 162 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.600 and then we're not gonna let any aid through. And 163 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.440 that's probably why we're doing this now, because Yaho's talking 164 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.679 about a very extreme move, even within the context of 165 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.919 all the other stuff that both sides have been doing, 166 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.159 very extreme. And I think that's when the United States 167 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.399 said no, no, no, no, no, we better slow his role 168 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.320 big time. You got to give him a reason. No 169 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:35.559 more weapons from the US. Pretty good reason, he said 170 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.159 over and over. 171 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.879 Though he's gonna do whatever he wants to do, regardless 172 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:41.639 he has. 173 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:48.159 But if he if suddenly he's deprived of assistance that 174 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:53.080 he requires, he will have to change his tune. You know, 175 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:57.120 these kinds of leaders always talk tough, They always talk tough, 176 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.559 but there's still ways to get to them, to vake them, 177 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.240 to cut it out. 178 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:03.960 Well. 179 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.679 People have been voting like crazy. A record number of 180 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.039 early votes have been cast in Georgia. Residents are heading 181 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.240 to the polls for the battleground state voting. More than 182 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.039 three hundred and twenty eight thousand ballots were cast yesterday, 183 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.200 which was the first day that they couldn't cast ballots 184 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.679 early ahead of the election. The first day. Previous record 185 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.679 was one hundred and thirty six thousand. 186 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.519 That's more than double. Yeah. Wow, I guess everybody knew 187 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.799 it was more than You didn't need to need me 188 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.279 to tell you it was more than double. Show you 189 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.039 have to show I'm smart and math because I got 190 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:45.480 a D minus in college algebra, which is unimpressive. So 191 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.840 now every time I know any math, I like to 192 00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.240 show it. This has been a trend all across the 193 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.919 country that on the first day of early voting, it's 194 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.080 different in every state. On that first day, they are 195 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.360 seeing record numbers across the country. So some group of 196 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.799 people is fired up more so than usual. Because votes 197 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.279 are private, I guess we cannot conclude what type of 198 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:17.679 voter is the most fired up, but I suspect it's 199 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.080 all the same side. I believe that. I don't think 200 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.879 it's equal one side and the other side equally fired 201 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.399 up to get out and vote at their earliest possible day. 202 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.639 We shall see. 203 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.279 Well, yeah, when the ultimate results come in, we'll probably 204 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.519 be able to look backwards and see what was going 205 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.000 on now. 206 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.159 Davon Durrell Deed thirty nine. He worked at the Santa 207 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:47.200 Monica College. He was accused of a shooting on Monday 208 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.879 and at around ten pm there at the Santa Monica 209 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.919 College Center for Media and Design. According to the Santa 210 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:59.360 Monica Police Department, Well, he was involved in a standoff 211 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.360 with law enforcement and he died of a self inflicted 212 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.279 gunshot wound during the standoff. 213 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.639 Yeah, they found his car. Yeah, the shooting was Monday night. 214 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.679 They found his car yesterday afternoon. There was a little pursuit, 215 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.000 a standoff, and then he was found deceased in the car. 216 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.679 The sucky part, I mean, it's all sucky, but you 217 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.039 look back to twenty eleven, Durell was arrested on suspicion 218 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.679 of attempted murder. In twenty nineteen, he was arrested for 219 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.759 allegedly a lleged assault with a deadly weapon, but his 220 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.600 only convictions were for misdemeanor property crimes. 221 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.759 Yeah, we have a thing in this country where arrests 222 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.320 don't really count in terms of taking action against anybody. 223 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:43.960 I mean, except that they can prosecute you for the 224 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.279 crime you were arrested for, but in terms of any 225 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:51.000 other things, you can't really use an arrest history against 226 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.720 the person. So the idea that they could have for example, 227 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.759 forbidden him from having guns or something like that. You 228 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:02.159 can't unless he had been convicted of something. But obviously 229 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.759 now we know he was a problem person long before 230 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:07.240 this event. 231 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.440 Oh well, I'm glad we figured that out. 232 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.720 I know, a little too late, a little too late. 233 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:17.000 Oh So, remember the guy who was arrested after allegedly 234 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.519 making threats against FEMA employees while armed with a handgun 235 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.639 and having a couple of other guns in his vehicle. 236 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.679 He is now speaking out, and this is his side 237 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:35.519 of the story. He says he didn't threaten anybody, although 238 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.919 he did post on Facebook that you know, I hear 239 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.039 that people aren't getting the help they need. We're done 240 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.840 playing games. It's time to show who we are and 241 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.759 what we believe. They want to screw our citizens. Now 242 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.240 we return the favor. We the people are seeking volunteers 243 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.919 to join us and overtake the FEMA site in Lake Lure. 244 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.919 So but he says he really wasn't threatening anybody. He 245 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.519 really thought FEMA was refusing to help people, and then 246 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.440 he went over there and he saw that that was 247 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.679 not the case. And then he spent the day volunteering 248 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.279 and helping. And yes, he happened to have a gun 249 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.639 on his hip, but that's his Second Amendment right, and hey, 250 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.720 I'm a reasonable person and I'm not dangerous. He's still 251 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.879 charged with what they call going armed to the terror 252 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.600 of the public. That law must have been written one 253 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.120 hundred and fifty years ago. I guess today we would 254 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:38.080 say having a gun and scaring of people, scaring a 255 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.639 lot of people. 256 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.279 I like the old way of saying it better going. 257 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.039 Armed to the terror of the public. So that's his 258 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.240 side of the story as of now. See what happens 259 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.039 with these charges. 260 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:55.159 The unexpected side effect of a hurricane. We're running out 261 00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:01.120 of iv bags. So the storm Hurricane Helene severely affected 262 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:05.759 operations at Baxter International's North Cove production site. What does 263 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:10.240 Baxter Internationals do well. They're the largest manufacturer of IVY 264 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.840 fluids and dialysis solutions in the country. 265 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:15.480 So they had to pause production. 266 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.919 Then they started up again, but they have a lot 267 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.720 of restrictions and since last week they've got their capacity 268 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.559 back up to about sixty percent of typical volume. But 269 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.879 because of that shortage, the FDA is saying that they've. 270 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.720 Got shortages all over the country. 271 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.759 Hospitals have been rationalized rationing supplies and people are even 272 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.279 having to postpone surgeries in some cases. 273 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.759 And now the Biden administration has invoked the Defense Production 274 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:48.759 Act to help Baxter get what they need to remediate 275 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.759 the damage to their facilities as quickly as possible. But 276 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.600 it'll be a while before the supplies are back up 277 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.360 to full capacity. What are all the influencers in Vegas 278 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:00.399 going to do right now? 279 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.639 If they can't get their be twelve, they can't get there, 280 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.720 they can't get their morning after where the guy in 281 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.200 the van comes and hooks you up to the IV 282 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.880 to help you with your hangover. 283 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.279 Do you think it's those. 284 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.519 Well, it's all the same I mean a lot of 285 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.200 it's the same stuff. It's saline and stuff like that. 286 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.240 Whether you are a legitimate medical patient or you're just 287 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.920 some dude who had too many espresso martinis in Vegas, 288 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.480 it's the same thing goes in your arm. 289 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.599 What is interesting to me about this is it it's 290 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.319 sort of like the baby formula crisis that we had 291 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.720 a few years ago, Like, why do we only have 292 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.240 one or two manufactures of this stuff in the whole country? 293 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.920 Why do we put them in Hurricane Row? 294 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.599 Well that wasn't It was in North Carolina. It wasn't 295 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.440 They didn't expect to get hit by that. It was 296 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.200 four hundred miles inland. These are still good questions, yeah, 297 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.799 both of them. 298 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.720 So the Pentagon announced Tuesday that more than eight hundred 299 00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.759 military personnel have seen their service records upgraded to honorable 300 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.640 discharges after previously being kicked out of the military under 301 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:10.880 its former don't ask, don't tell policy. So latest development 302 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:15.240 over the decades, undo that pass discrimination against the LGBTQ 303 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:22.279 service members, which is horrific people serving their country and 304 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.039 getting booted. 305 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.680 And remember back in June, President Biden said, I'm going 306 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.559 to issue a bunch of pardons to anybody who got 307 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:40.960 in trouble just for just for having a gay interaction, 308 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.319 if you will, with another service person. So now the 309 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.319 only thing that's that's illegal or actionable is if it's 310 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:54.359 not consensual, which obviously it never never should unconsensual sexual 311 00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.559 activity be considered cool. 312 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:57.720 But for a. 313 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.440 While nineteen fifty one unwing the Uniform Code of Military 314 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.400 Justice or oh yeah, they were five criminalized consensual gay sex. 315 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.000 Yes, they did not want any of that in the 316 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.000 military at all. And then Clinton, which I mean, you know, 317 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.240 I understand he was trying to move us forward. But 318 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.200 I don't think that this was a good plan. We 319 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.920 won't ask you if you're gay, You don't tell us 320 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.039 if you're gay, and which sounds good until you realize 321 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.279 the flip side of it is if in any way 322 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:32.279 you tell us that you're gay, by telling us or 323 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:38.160 through your behavior, then you're still in big trouble. So 324 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.480 a lot of people still got dinged badly, even though 325 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.519 Clinton thought he was trying to help. Now we're at 326 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.880 the that now it's where it should be, which is 327 00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.599 it's the same exact rule. If you're straight, if you're gay, 328 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:54.519 if you're by, if you're whatever, consensual activity is not 329 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:58.079 you're not going to get court martialed. And and if 330 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:02.359 you assault somebody, it doesn't matter. You're gonna be in trouble. 331 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.200 That's how it should be. Oh, here we go. This 332 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.200 is what we've been talking about. Today there will be 333 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:17.440 a news conference slash rally, slash celebrity appearance in front 334 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.079 of the Criminal Courts Building in downtown LA. This all 335 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:24.039 has to do with the Menendez brother's case. And we 336 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:29.480 get to today's news conference rally because earlier this month, 337 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:35.200 Da George gascon not for much longer said his office 338 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.759 is gonna review this new evidence that has been brought 339 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.240 forward on behalf of the Menendez brothers and make a 340 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.839 decision about whether they will seek a resentencing hearing in 341 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:51.279 front of a judge for the two gentlemen. And I'm 342 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:58.000 not sure there's confusion about who's gonna be there today 343 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.519 at this event, whether Gascone is going to be there, 344 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.039 whether they're going to announce that Gascone has in fact 345 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.359 decided to move forward, or whether this is just going 346 00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.000 to be a public pitch on behalf of the effort. 347 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.200 But I knew that, you know, their lawyers are going 348 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:17.759 to be there, and their aunt's going to be there, 349 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.319 and and then Michelle clued me in this morning that 350 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:28.000 Rosie O'Donnell is going to be there. Why to speak 351 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.599 out on their behalf? I assume you know the thing 352 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.200 about the Menendez brother's case. First of all, nobody denies 353 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.640 that they did it. They don't deny it, their lawyers 354 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.839 don't deny it. Nobody denies that they killed their parents 355 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.799 with a shotgun. But this is an interesting case to 356 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.440 me because if you were around when it was originally 357 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.039 going on, they had a trial and at that first trial, 358 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.799 they introduced evidence that they had been sexually abused by 359 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.200 the father, and the jury hung it was they did 360 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.200 not convict them. Then they had a second trial, and 361 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.640 for whatever reason, the judge in the second trial said, 362 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:18.359 you are not allowed to introduce any evidence or tell 363 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.920 the jury that they say or were sexually abused by 364 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:28.559 their father, and they were convicted. The first trial gave 365 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:33.400 jurors something to think about and way, and the second 366 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.920 trial was like, here they are and they shotgun to 367 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.039 their parents, and what do you think of that? Well, 368 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.640 if that's all you're told, what you think of it 369 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:46.799 is that they're despicable monsters. So now there's been new 370 00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:50.759 evidence a letter that one of the Menina's brothers wrote 371 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.039 way back when, not now, not something he wrote now 372 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.160 where you could say, oh, you're trying to make stuff 373 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.960 up now, where he said his father was still abusing 374 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:07.319 him up until just like eight months before the murders. 375 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.240 And there also is information from a former member of 376 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.599 Minudo that says their father, who was involved in the 377 00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:17.319 music industry, molested him when he was I forget if 378 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.920 it's fourteen or fifteen, but something like that. And so 379 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.720 the question becomes or what do we do now, and 380 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:29.519 more specifically, do we want to vacate the first degree 381 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:33.519 murder and maybe make it second degree murder, in which 382 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:36.200 case they don't have to have life in prison without parole. 383 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.400 They could get who knows, thirty five years, forty years, 384 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.240 Maybe they could get a sentence where they actually come 385 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.319 out of prison. We don't know what Gascone has decided yet, 386 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.480 and we may not know after this event today because 387 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.480 it's just so unclear what his role is the DA. 388 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.839 He's the one who has to make the decision to 389 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.839 seek a resentencing. 390 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.640 So first what kind of abuse was and do we know? 391 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:05.920 And then second, what power does Gascone have in this case? 392 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:08.839 Is it only to look at it again? He couldn't 393 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.240 free them or anything, could he? 394 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:13.680 No, but he could he can make a hearing happen 395 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:17.079 in front of a judge to have them re sentenced. 396 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.240 He can do that. What kind of abuse? The worst 397 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.480 kind of molestation type abuse that you, unfortunately can imagine. 398 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.359 The aunt, I guess, the sister of Kitty who was 399 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.960 killed the Mosuyes. She apparently has been on their side 400 00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.920 the whole time, and yes, and aunt boys tried to 401 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.160
