Speaker 3: for the cheap seats.
Speaker 1: No. I just read an article that you're they're going
Speaker 1: for twelve hundred bucks to stand up.
Speaker 3: Which is interesting because Dodger Stadium does not encourage you
Speaker 3: to stand.
Speaker 1: I don't know how legal that is. I don't even
Speaker 1: know it. Maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're selling every nook and cranny of that place.

Speaker 3: of origins.

Speaker 4: but you're under the weather, all right, yeah, aways, yes

Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens today.
Speaker 2: Sounds great today, Bill, Well we'll get there.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. You still have your job. You
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. You have a contract.
Speaker 1: You don't have to say that Okay, we have just
Speaker 1: a chunk of news to deal with and talk about today.
Speaker 1: It'll be Amy and me doing the news. That Amy
Speaker 1: and I, Amy and I doing the news, and so
Speaker 1: let's start it. It's time for handle on the news,
Speaker 1: Amy King, No Neil and me lead story. Well, Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Anthony B. Lincoln in Israel again, eleventh visit
Speaker 1: since October seventh of last year and are trying to
Speaker 1: somehow broker a piece deal. And it's as far away
Speaker 1: as it's ever been. You know, the killing of Sinwar
Speaker 1: by the Israeli military, and that's the head honcho of Hamas,
Speaker 1: the lead, the most senior Hamas nik that existed gone
Speaker 1: in terms, and also the senior leadership has been taken out.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people thought, okay, now's the time.
Speaker 1: This is a good time because Hamas has been degraded,
Speaker 1: a lot of political pressure on Israel to cut some
Speaker 1: kind of a deal, so the hostages come back. Israel
Speaker 1: is as entrenched as it was, Hamas is as entrenched
Speaker 1: as it was, and all we have now is the
Speaker 1: same fight where the decimation of Hamas continues until there's
Speaker 1: nothing left of Gaza and Beirut is now in the
Speaker 1: middle of it, and we're anticipating some kind of an
Speaker 1: attack Israel against Iran, which is guaranteed to happen, And
Speaker 1: are is regional war breaking out? Is it going to happen?
Speaker 1: Is probably there right now? All right? Are we do
Speaker 1: any more of that today? Probably not. We've been doing
Speaker 1: that to death.
Speaker 2: The Central Park Five is suing guess who? Former President Trump.
Speaker 3: Members of the Central Park Five filed a lawsuit saying
Speaker 3: that Trump made false and defamatory statements about their nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty nine case during the debate last month with Vice
Speaker 3: President Harris So Apparently, he said during the debate that
Speaker 3: the Central Park Five pleaded guilty to crimes connected to
Speaker 3: the beating and raping of a woman in New York City,
Speaker 3: and that the five teenagers at the time badly hurt
Speaker 3: a person killed the person in the attack. Trump's statements,
Speaker 3: they say, were false and defamatory in several respects. The
Speaker 3: guys are now all in their fifties.
Speaker 1: And they're out because it turns out they didn't do it.
Speaker 2: Did they find out who did do it?
Speaker 1: I don't think they did, but they were exonerated. They
Speaker 1: did not do it, and they maintained their innaoscence from
Speaker 1: day one. They played I mean, Trump was wrong, they
Speaker 1: pled not guilty. They didn't plead guilty. They didn't kill
Speaker 1: anybody because they didn't do anything to anybody in terms
Speaker 1: of this case, So is this a good lawsuit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna fly. That's pretty effamatory. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, accusing someone you killed someone on the record
Speaker 1: when you didn't. Yeah, you know, public figures and all. Now,
Speaker 1: I think I think it's going to be a case.
Speaker 1: That's my opinion.
Speaker 3: How would they because they're not None of them are
Speaker 3: like celebrities, Like, it's not going to damage their I mean,
Speaker 3: does it.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes if it's libel per se, you don't have
Speaker 1: to show damages, you don't have to show reputations. And
Speaker 1: then the argument's going to be their public figures. But
Speaker 1: I don't even think it matters their public figures by
Speaker 1: simply by reason that the story became an international story.
Speaker 1: And if i'm if i'm their attorney, plainted, I'd argue,
Speaker 1: they're not Who the hell knows their name?
Speaker 2: Even they are the Central Park five, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so who knows their name? Can you tell me?
Speaker 1: And you're in the news Amy, do you know the
Speaker 1: name of one? No, and you would if anybody else would,
Speaker 1: And that means no, but I don't. Certainly. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I tell you my daughter is getting married on November
Speaker 1: two week from Saturday. My daughter Barbara is getting married. Wow.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, congratulations, it's amazing. We were waiting for you to make.
Speaker 1: It's just another wedding gift I have to buy. Come on,
Speaker 1: give me a break.
Speaker 4: So I'm sure you're paying for a lot more than
Speaker 4: a wedding gift.
Speaker 1: How about the wedding And how about the honeymoon? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wow, you're paying for that too, Yeah, sucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Where are they going.
Speaker 1: Italy? Wow, they're going to Italy. I'm trying to push
Speaker 1: for little Italy in New York and if and if
Speaker 1: we had a little Italy here in southern California and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I would go for that.
Speaker 2: I thought we had one.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have a little Italy now San Diego.
Speaker 1: Is there little Lily in San Diego? I have to
Speaker 1: look into that. You all right, I just thought I
Speaker 1: mentioned that.
Speaker 3: I think you should break it to them that they're
Speaker 3: going to Little Lily instead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough? All right, guys, we have plenty more
Speaker 1: news to go through this morning, so it's we continue
Speaker 1: with handle on the news with Amy O'Neil and me.
Speaker 3: A meeting of our adversaries and kind of some friendlies too.
Speaker 2: Listen to this gang.
Speaker 3: Russian President Putin is going to meet with China's Jijingping,
Speaker 3: India's Modi, Turkey's Airdwan, and Iran's Masud Peszeshkian. Then this
Speaker 3: whole group gathering kind of goes against it. Everybody thought
Speaker 3: that Putin would become a pariah if you went in
Speaker 3: and invaded Ukraine. So they're all going to meet in
Speaker 3: on Russia for a meeting of the bricks block of
Speaker 3: development country or developing economies. The brick stands for Brazil, Russia, India,
Speaker 3: China and South Africa, but since then it's expanded to
Speaker 3: Iran and Egypt and Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates and
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Malaysia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the world's breaking into into has now. Putin's won
Speaker 1: on this one. There's no question. I mean Putin, who
Speaker 1: in many ways is a pariah dictator, but the way
Speaker 1: the countries are lining up, it's definitely going to be
Speaker 1: East versus West, and it's just it's just a tough
Speaker 1: time to be alive, you know, it really is, between
Speaker 1: climate change and what's happening politically, it's it's going to
Speaker 1: be very rough for the next next decade, two decades,
Speaker 1: next generation not looking forward to it. But here's the
Speaker 1: good news. I told my daughters that you'll never be
Speaker 1: able to afford a house either, So enjoy yourself. Okay.
Speaker 3: Product reviews are now required to be real. The Federal
Speaker 3: Trade Commission issued a rule back in August that went
Speaker 3: into effect yesterday. It bans the sale or purchase of
Speaker 3: online reviews and allows the agency to seek civil penalties
Speaker 3: against people who violate the rule.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two questions about this. Number one, how do you
Speaker 1: tell that there is a fake review or it has
Speaker 1: been bought? That's one, and number two, that is one
Speaker 1: and two. And then the issue is I look at reviews.
Speaker 1: Don't you look at Yelp reviews? I pay attention to those.
Speaker 3: Right, But I'm wondering too if it encompasses like online
Speaker 3: like social media stuff, because you know, like every time
Speaker 3: you scroll, you've got oh my gosh, you got to
Speaker 3: try this product with from the influencers are those fake reviews.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think those are fake reviews. And I
Speaker 1: think the laws are going to be that the influencer
Speaker 1: is being paid for the review. As long as we're
Speaker 1: told about that, I get it. I don't have a
Speaker 1: problem with that. It's the fake reviews. It's the fake
Speaker 1: I am great, I am great, I am great. And
Speaker 1: then the other side of it is a negative review
Speaker 1: can really hurt a business, and in terms of reviewers
Speaker 1: coming in, people who don't like your product or your
Speaker 1: service are much more app to post than people who do.
Speaker 1: They get really aggravated. Do you how many times I
Speaker 1: threaten I have a radio show and I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about you tomorrow at eight o'clock And then I
Speaker 1: usually get yeah, go right ahead.
Speaker 3: You think I give a rats and then their business.
Speaker 1: And then there yeah, And then I don't do it
Speaker 1: because you know, I wouldn't have time.
Speaker 3: Copycats maybe cutting into Eli Lily's profits. How do we
Speaker 3: know this well, because it has sued three medspas and
Speaker 3: online vendors for selling products claiming to contain the main
Speaker 3: ingredient in its popular weight loss medicines, zep bound. It's
Speaker 3: called terres Zeppatide and so they've filed the lawsuits. They're
Speaker 3: the first ones filed related to the copycat drug filed
Speaker 3: since the USFDA took the drug off its list of
Speaker 3: medicines that were in short supply.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole world to this stuff, these new drugs,
Speaker 1: and they seem to be working, although we don't have
Speaker 1: any idea about long term studies, no idea at all,
Speaker 1: but the news seems to be pretty good. And now,
Speaker 1: of course everybody's jumping on the bandwagon, and there are
Speaker 1: several competing drugs out there, so it's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's going to level off. This is just the new
Speaker 1: stuff that's coming up.
Speaker 3: I would be more concerned about if they're compounded. It's
Speaker 3: saying that they're not the actual drug, they're the copycat drug.
Speaker 2: Like, how do you know.
Speaker 1: That that compound pharmacies can do that. There are a
Speaker 1: bunch of pharmacies that put drugs together that you can't
Speaker 1: get out on the open market and prescriptions work, and
Speaker 1: you know as long I mean, if they're real pharmacies,
Speaker 1: the controls are there. It's just the different models we have.
Speaker 1: Very few people know about compound pharmacies, but look it up.
Speaker 1: They're there, and it's just a weird model that we
Speaker 1: deal with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this lawsuit is accusing the companies of selling
Speaker 3: products claiming to contain to rezepetide directly to patients without
Speaker 3: a prescription from a medical professional.
Speaker 1: And they have to be prescribed. Yeah, but then here's
Speaker 1: an end around you. There are peoples. Like the original
Speaker 1: medical marijuana laws, you could literally get a doctor over
Speaker 1: the phone to prescribe. It's that easy to do. You
Speaker 1: think all doctors are ethical and wonderful and they're not
Speaker 1: going to want to make one hundred and fifty bucks
Speaker 1: for a two minute phone call. All right, let's do
Speaker 1: one more before we bail out of here.
Speaker 3: Well, this doesn't happen very often, but Elon Musk and
Speaker 3: Governor Newsom are on the same side. As you may recall,
Speaker 3: the California Coastal Commission denied Elon Musk and SpaceX's requests
Speaker 3: to beef up the number of rockets that they're launching
Speaker 3: from Vandenberg Space for Base.
Speaker 2: They said no.
Speaker 3: So now Elon is suing, and over the weekend, Governor
Speaker 3: Newsom said, I'm with Elon on this one.
Speaker 2: He thinks that they should be able to increase the
Speaker 2: number of rockets they I.
Speaker 1: Should be what are these rockets? Are all about technology?
Speaker 1: They're all about putting up satellites that do more things
Speaker 1: for US communications service providers. So yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: And the Coastal Commission, I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 1: read anything about the Coastal Commission. They are brutal, I
Speaker 1: mean brutal. They don't let anything happen under any circumstance.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you were right by the way when
Speaker 1: you started this particular story. It's very rare for Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and Gavin Newsom be on the same page.
Speaker 3: And their comment. His comments came while he was out
Speaker 3: campaigning for Harris. And you know that Trump is supported
Speaker 3: by Musk.
Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, a coffee Tuesday morning, October twenty two, just
Speaker 1: talking to Anne and she was looking at stub hub.
Speaker 1: And the most expensive ticket as of right now is
Speaker 1: what for the Dodgers game for the World Series World
Speaker 1: what forty three thousand dollars? That's expensive on stuff? Is
Speaker 1: that a ticket? It said?
Speaker 2: The most expensive ticket?
Speaker 1: So not care of tickets, I don't a ticket? Does
Speaker 1: that include a hot dog or two or not?
Speaker 2: Nothing?
Speaker 1: No parking, no, nothing, it's great. Yeah, World Series forty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's when you have a whole lot more money
Speaker 1: than brains. You know, when you do that, just if
Speaker 1: you can afford it, Amy, would you spend that much money?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, That's exactly my point, because at some point you
Speaker 1: just go, come on, this isn't this just isn't worth it.
Speaker 3: If I was a multimillionaire, yeah, and spending forty three
Speaker 3: thousand was like spending five hundred, then yeah, I would
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: But it's I'm not, and it's not.
Speaker 1: So there are people who can afford it and would say.
Speaker 1: You know, when I go shopping for example, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd buy my clothes at Costco and I see a
Speaker 1: shirt for eighty bucks instead of the fifteen dollars I spend.
Speaker 1: I mean, can I have ford eighty dollars for a shirt?
Speaker 1: Of course I can. Would I spend eighty dollars for
Speaker 1: a shirt? Of course not. I can get one at
Speaker 1: Costco for fifteen dollars. It's a question of value. Let's
Speaker 1: go on more handle on the news with Amy and Me.
Speaker 2: Some backlash over the F bomb. Some leaked audio has
Speaker 2: a La City council candidate Isabelle Horado saying the the
Speaker 2: F word and saying F the police at a meeting
Speaker 2: students at cal State LA. Of course, she's running against
Speaker 2: incumbent Kevin de Leon, who has had his own racial scandal.
Speaker 3: That was remember the city council thing where they caught
Speaker 3: them making disparaging comments about another councilman's kid. This one
Speaker 3: she's talking at cal State LA kids. She responds to
Speaker 3: a comment or a question about policing, and she says,
Speaker 3: F the police. That's how I see him. She is
Speaker 3: saying that she quoted a lyric from a song that
Speaker 3: is part of a larger conversation on systemic injustice.
Speaker 2: She said it was just a lyric.
Speaker 1: Yeah, however, which is great, you're right quoting the lyric.
Speaker 1: Is quoting the lyric, but then adding that's how I
Speaker 1: see them. That's a little more problematic, isn't it. And
Speaker 1: she is deflecting on that one and just spinning it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, she hates the police. It's that simple,
Speaker 1: and it's right straight on. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: McDonald's isn't really loving Trump, So McDonald's corporation agreed to
Speaker 3: host former President Trump at one of its restaurants over
Speaker 3: the weekend. Where he was serving up fries and delivering
Speaker 3: meals to people in the drive through. But they're saying
Speaker 3: that they are not endorsing the candidate in the US
Speaker 3: presidential race.
Speaker 1: Yeah. This is an interesting one because, first of all,
Speaker 1: this was not McDonald's corporation. This was a franchise e
Speaker 1: that went to McDonald's and said, the Trump organization has
Speaker 1: said he wants to go to a restaurant, and so
Speaker 1: as soon as that happens, this franchisee and this McDonald's
Speaker 1: owner then reaches out and says, I want you to
Speaker 1: do it at my place, and then goes to McDonald's
Speaker 1: and says, can this be done? I'm assuming that's part
Speaker 1: of the franchise contract or anything like this has to
Speaker 1: be okay by the corporation. Corporation says yeah, and so
Speaker 1: he comes out there, and then McDonald's has to come
Speaker 1: out and go no, no, no, we're not endorsing anybody.
Speaker 1: And according to McDonald's, some franchises have also invited Vice
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris and Tim Walls to come out to
Speaker 1: their restaurants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and McDonald's also said in that they don't endorse
Speaker 3: candidates period, that they they never have they won't.
Speaker 2: They said we are not red or blue, we are golden.
Speaker 1: I think this is and I think Trump during this
Speaker 1: entire period was saying that she never worked at McDonald's,
Speaker 1: which can't be proven one way or the other, except
Speaker 1: it can be, you know.
Speaker 2: And nobody's working very hard to try.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I worked at some places that have gone
Speaker 1: bankrupt forty years ago, and I knew who I was
Speaker 1: working with, and I can get people to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was working with them, with handle here, So you know,
Speaker 1: it'd be incomfortable on her to get somebody say yeah,
Speaker 1: I was working there, no question about it. We haven't
Speaker 1: heard that. Also, Trump has said she doesn't know. She
Speaker 1: couldn't find a big mac if you threw it, threw
Speaker 1: one at her, she wouldn't recognize it. I just made
Speaker 1: that up, by the way, Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were just talking about this World Series. Tickets
Speaker 3: pretty much out of this world. The Dodgers take on
Speaker 3: the New York Yankees for Game one of the World
Speaker 3: Series starting on Friday. So the first two games are here,
Speaker 3: and tickets if you want to go and take a
Speaker 3: date twenty five hundred dollars minimum.
Speaker 2: So the cheapest seats are going for over twelve hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now standing room only seats are going.
Speaker 1: For standing room only seats.
Speaker 3: Which is up on the upper deck, which is way
Speaker 3: at the top, because they don't let you they don't
Speaker 3: let you stand on field level.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to both of you. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: is that legal to have people? I mean, you can
Speaker 1: only be so crowded at a game because you have
Speaker 1: the fire ordinances. Does a fire marshal not come in
Speaker 1: and go you're done? Could you imagine a fire marshal
Speaker 1: shutting down a World Series game, which I think they can.
Speaker 1: I think they have the legal ability to go, we're
Speaker 1: shutting this down.
Speaker 3: Well, if it's only up along the top deck, along
Speaker 3: the railing or something, and that's how they can get
Speaker 3: away out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's what would happen. I'd feel much
Speaker 1: better if you shut it right down, everybody cleared out.
Speaker 3: In New York where games three and four and then
Speaker 3: possibly five if it's needed are their tickets are selling
Speaker 3: for fifteen hundred dollars on vivid seats. I've seen them
Speaker 3: for like thirteen hundred dollars for the cheapest seats. Wow,
Speaker 3: it's forty three thousand for a nice.
Speaker 1: Can you sit it on TV instantly? You can.
Speaker 2: You didn't get to if you didn't have Fox Sports one.
Speaker 3: You didn't get to watch it on TV for the
Speaker 3: playoffs for the Championship Series. But it will be on
Speaker 3: I believe on Fox for the World Series.
Speaker 1: Oh, so everybody can watch it. And of course it's
Speaker 1: going to be covered by our sister station, that's AM
Speaker 1: five seventy LA Sports. By the way, Game one is Friday,
Speaker 1: starts at four against the Yankees.
Speaker 2: Five o eight. Actually they changed it.
Speaker 1: Oh they did, Yeah, okay, And you can listen to
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app keyword AM five seven e LA Sports
Speaker 1: or just AM five seventy LA Sports. And it's going
Speaker 1: to be a kind of an interesting game. It really
Speaker 1: is going to be a good one. Oh, we don't know.
Speaker 1: It may be a blowout, nag maybe, Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 3: Two biggest cities teams haven't met in the World Series
Speaker 3: for forty three years.
Speaker 2: It's going to be epic.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. You can tell I'm not much of
Speaker 1: a baseball fan, sure, I know. That's so. How many
Speaker 1: hold on a minute, I'm trying always trying to find
Speaker 1: how many checkers are there in a game. No, see,
Speaker 1: that is a polo reference. Did you know that? No, yes,
Speaker 1: there are four checkers in a polo game. Huh.
Speaker 2: The only time I've ever seen polo is in Pretty Woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I just thought i'd mentioned that. Okay, what
Speaker 1: a way to end this segment. Huh Yeah, completely useless fact.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and finish up with handle on the
Speaker 1: news on this Tuesday morning.
Speaker 3: Did He's lawyers want his alleged victims to keep quiet?
Speaker 3: Lawyers for rapper Sean Combs are trying to stop his
Speaker 3: alleged victims from making any more public statements. They say
Speaker 3: all these statements could prejudice a potential jury. They filed
Speaker 3: a gag order and saying the statements from prospective witnesses
Speaker 3: and lawyers substantially interfere with combs right to a fair trial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my qu I mean, I think this is a
Speaker 1: legitimate request. But my question is who is a perspective
Speaker 1: witness at this point? And I don't know the answer
Speaker 1: to that. Is the judge going to grant? You know,
Speaker 1: this is hard to grant. You know, arguing gag orders
Speaker 1: are not easy because there's a big issue of First
Speaker 1: Amendment stuff. But it's going to If it does go,
Speaker 1: it's going to be all encompassing. There's going to be
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are going to be forced
Speaker 1: to not speak under a gag order.
Speaker 3: Abortion bands have led to more babies dying. According to
Speaker 3: new research, hundreds more infants have died than expected in
Speaker 3: the US. The vast majority of them had congenital abnormality
Speaker 3: or anomalies.
Speaker 2: Or birth defects.
Speaker 3: Earlier research found that infant mortality spiked in Texas after
Speaker 3: a six week abortion ban took effect in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: Experts say the new data suggests that the impacts of
Speaker 3: the bands and restrictions of the abortion bands have been
Speaker 3: large enough to affect broader trends, basically having a ripple
Speaker 3: effect across the country.
Speaker 1: Now, let's dive dive a little bit deeper in this,
Speaker 1: because this gets really interesting. Because women cannot aboord, they
Speaker 1: are forced to deliver babies that have more anomalies and
Speaker 1: will die. We'll die right after birth and will because
Speaker 1: they couldn't abort the kid or could not abort the pregnancy. Now,
Speaker 1: the argument is going to be, Okay, infant mortality is up,
Speaker 1: but do not count abortion as part of your infant mortality.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the anti abortion is say that
Speaker 1: it is word. You are already a killing a kid.
Speaker 1: And does it matter before or after birth? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's still the death of a child. So I find
Speaker 1: this whole stat fascinating as to which way you're looking
Speaker 1: at this. I mean, you look at this as a
Speaker 1: medical fact that has some insane political and moral repercussions
Speaker 1: and meanings. I just that was the first thing I
Speaker 1: thought about when this was coming up. When we read
Speaker 1: the story, I just thought I'd throw that into the mix.
Speaker 1: Just can confuse everybody. Why don't we.
Speaker 3: Move on one sort of confusing? But his execuecution was
Speaker 3: called off so he could testify before lawmakers. But now
Speaker 3: his testimony has been called off. You'll recall that the
Speaker 3: guy in Texas was scheduled to be executed last Friday.
Speaker 2: There was a last minute's stay.
Speaker 3: They said, nope, we're not going to put him into
Speaker 3: the death into the execution chamber, so he can testify
Speaker 3: about his conviction about shaking baby syndrome, which is what
Speaker 3: they convicted him on for killing his two year old child.
Speaker 2: They said, we want you to testify about it. So
Speaker 2: we're not going to put you to death.
Speaker 1: Yet, right, And that got interesting. It's never happened before
Speaker 1: where an execution was delayed because the legislature wanted the convict,
Speaker 1: wanted the prisoner to be brought forward to testify about
Speaker 1: the very crime. It is really interesting. And but the
Speaker 1: problem is at the end of this he's not going
Speaker 1: to test fi so it should be rescheduled and he
Speaker 1: should go forward. And that's probably what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: At the same time, you've got a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are pushing for a commutation here or at least
Speaker 1: denying the death pens sentence resentencing him John Grisham. You've
Speaker 1: got people up there are saying he's innocent, but they're
Speaker 1: going to still fry him.
Speaker 3: I don't understand though, if he the two year old
Speaker 3: died he was convicted and they said it was because
Speaker 3: of shaking baby syndrome. They debunked apparently that shaken baby
Speaker 3: syndrome is a thing, but the baby is still Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's questionable now it is questionable, and I don't I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten deeper into this case, so I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what the legal concept of shaking baby shaken baby syndrome,
Speaker 1: and I can certainly see you can shake a baby
Speaker 1: to death, a two year old. I mean, that's not
Speaker 1: hard to imagine that that happened. It's just this has
Speaker 1: all kinds of ramifications, and there are candid legislature. Will
Speaker 1: the court stop a excuse because you've got a effectively
Speaker 1: a subpoena where you have the convict that's going to
Speaker 1: go in place and testify and then in the end
Speaker 1: doesn't testify, so they go back to Yeah, they're going
Speaker 1: to fry him. Yeah, that's exactly what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: So interesting case that's going to disappear with him shortly.
Speaker 2: All right, do you have time for one more?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll do one more.
Speaker 3: Okay, safety first does not apply here. A new study
Speaker 3: by wallet hub has ranked the safest states in America. Yeah,
Speaker 3: California is in the bottom fifteen.
Speaker 1: No surprise. Now we've look at the safest ones are
Speaker 1: going to be in the northeast coast, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine,
Speaker 1: way up there, and the least safest ones are down
Speaker 1: in the deep South Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana. And we're coming
Speaker 1: at thirty seventh. Any surprise, at all.
Speaker 2: Surprise that we're not lower on the list.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, we're done. Coming up Latino voters. How
Speaker 1: important are they? Oh man? This time around so critical?
Speaker 1: And let me tell you what's going on right here
Speaker 1: in California, because we seem to be the poster child
Speaker 1: of this entire movement. KFI AM six forty live everywhere
