Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson thinks that King Jeffries and other politicians need to stop overreacting to memes and social media games and focus on getting the job done and opening the government.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: Many of you asked me this morning about sombreros and memes and why how King Jeffries is all alarmed by that. Look, these are games, these are side shows. People are getting caught up and battles over social media memes. And to my friend hockeyme who I was asked about, man, just ignore it. I mean, Gavin Newsom was trolling me last night. He painted me like a minion. He painted me yellow with big glasses and overalls, and I thought it was hilarious. You don't respond to it. For all my friends, for all my friends RS and d's don't respond to it.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: I mean, he's so right about it.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it is ridiculous that the president is sharing, you know, AI generated memes and stuff like that. But that's kind of just what we've all grown to accept from Trump.
00:00:52
Speaker 3: That's what he does.
00:00:53
Speaker 4: We talked to Pete Getarelli a little bit earlier this morning, and I thought his response was just priceless. He said that President Trump has normalized this kind of behavior right.
00:01:05
Speaker 1: Exactly, But Mike Johnson's so right about how it needs to be handled. And whether you agree with Mike Johnson and his politics and stuff like that or not, I think that he tries to be the adult in the room with so many different things, and he's always very like he tries to be diplomatic and just very you know, kind of serious about stuff and when it's the appropriate time to laugh at himself, which is what he said about what he did with Gavin Newsom and the meme about him, he does like. I like the way Mike Johnson handles things. I think he does a good job at trying to keep everybody kind of level headed.
00:01:33
Speaker 5: Yeah. I wonder if the minion had one eye or two, I don't know.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: Sean Dinny Combs will be sentenced today. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him in prison for life. He's facing up to twenty years in prison ten years maximum for each charge he was convicted of. Now he's expressing remorse and wrote a four page letter to the judge asking for mercy, He says he takes full responsibility and accountability for his past wrongs. He said he's sincerely sorry for all the hurt and pain he caused. He said these have been the hardest two years of his life, and that he only has himself to blame for his current reality and situation, and that his downfall was rooted in selfishness.
00:02:20
Speaker 3: He said the.
00:02:21
Speaker 1: Video footage of him hitting and kicking his former girlfriend in the hotel and the photos of her injuries shown at the trial play over and over in his head all the time, and that he was dead wrong for all the things he did. Now he's been given permission to wear plain clothes a suit, not a prison jumpsuit in court today to address the judge, and the sentencing is at ten am.
00:02:45
Speaker 3: Now.
00:02:46
Speaker 1: People have been lining up outside the courthouse. These are people who are getting paid to stand in line for others. So one guy said he was paid three hundred dollars to get in line for somebody else who then just wants to show up right before ten and get into the courtroom.
00:03:05
Speaker 3: Because people, you know.
00:03:06
Speaker 1: They want to have access, but they don't want to stand in line for If you can get it.
00:03:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't think it sounds like a great.
00:03:11
Speaker 5: Gig at all if it paid, you know.
00:03:14
Speaker 3: I oh yeah.
00:03:15
Speaker 1: So and these people they've got this little setup going. Read They've got they've got like little tents that they sit under with the advertisement on it that says never stand in line in New York City with the phone number on there and who you need to call if you need somebody, if you need a professional line standard boyes.
00:03:34
Speaker 5: Life is truly different in New York.
00:03:35
Speaker 3: Ten o'clock this morning, it all starts.
00:03:38
Speaker 1: And it's it should be interesting to see what happens, all.
00:03:41
Speaker 4: Right, if I'm reading this right. The prosecution is recommended just over eleven years for a sentence, and Diddy's legal team as proposed a fourteen month sentence, So there's quite a differential between the two.
00:03:55
Speaker 5: We'll see what happens.
00:03:56
Speaker 1: Host Democrats tried to rally the party with a live stream of meeting about the government shutdown, but it was a complete flop.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: So the live stream.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Featured prominent House Democrats and political influencers, people who have big followings on TikTok and Instagram, and they were supposed to kind of take turns blaming Republicans for the shutdown. They were talking about how the party needs to fight against Trump and his agenda. But it started off with technical glitches and then there were cringe moments, like at one point one of the influencers said gen.
00:04:27
Speaker 3: Z is in the House. It's tough like that. It was a complete disaster.
00:04:34
Speaker 1: And one Republican shared the live stream on x and said, just four hundred people are watching and they're currently trying different types of candy. And there were just Democrats just sitting there. They were just trying candy. I mean, it was really really ridiculous. Now, at the same time, a White House feed showed past clips of Democrats, you know, just kind of saying ridiculous stuff, and that had over one hundred thousand people watching.
00:05:05
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the live stream by.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: The House Democrats that were supposed to be this big, you know, we need to fight against Trump and this shutdown had only four hundred people viewing.
00:05:15
Speaker 4: Look, whether you agree with it or not, the fact is that Democrats are on the defensive when it comes to the blame game for this shutdown. They didn't do themselves any favors with us. I didn't even know about this. It was supposed to be a twenty four hour stream from Tuesday to Wednesday.
00:05:34
Speaker 5: I didn't even know about it.
00:05:35
Speaker 1: Well, they ended up cutting it short after just eleven hours.
00:05:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, because nobody was watching it. It was such a flop.
00:05:41
Speaker 1: They had tons of technical glitches, and they also wanted to really rally the party and get some of the biggest voices like AOC involved, and she did not participate, so I think she probably saw like, this is not going to be so good. And then Hakeem Jeffries came out not wearing a sombrero and and tried to defend it, and he said, actually the live stream, if you add up all of it, it ended up with twenty four thousand views.
00:06:08
Speaker 5: Still, I'm really really impressed.
00:06:10
Speaker 1: It was just just put on full display again how much the Democrats they don't have solid leadership, they don't have a solid way to message right now, and they're a mess.
00:06:21
Speaker 3: This was a mess.
00:06:21
Speaker 4: All this accomplished. The only thing this accomplished, and I think you'll agree with me, is it gave the Republicans even more ammunition. It gave them another way, another platform to make sure that everybody knows that in their view, the Democrats are to blame for this, That's all.
00:06:41
Speaker 5: It was. That idea just should never have never have gone and been.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: Shut down before it started.
00:06:48
Speaker 1: The family of the man who died writing a roller coaster at Epic Universe say they've heard from multiple other writers who got hurt on that ride, and they're accusing Universal Orlando of missing multiple warning signs before he died. Thirty two year old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala suffered blunt impact injuries while riding the roller coaster with his girlfriend. He had a spinal cord injury, and he was in a wheelchair. Now, the family's attorney, Ben Crump, set at a press conference, the multiple Stardust Racers riders who have come forward to the family and our office lead us to believe that Kevin's case was not an isolated incident. He also said his team confirmed that Kevin suffered repeated head injuries during the ride and was unconscious for the majority of the ride, and he also suffered some lacerations. Witnesses say he was slumped over in the front seat with blood everywhere, and his family also claims that park employees were not prepared to deal with the emergency. Now, Universal has apparently self reported four incidents regarding the stardust Racer's ride, and in each case they concluded that the injuries were caused by pre existing conditions, which is what they're likely to say in this case. Now, the family shared a message from a woman who allegedly was hurt on stardust Racers back in May, and she claims she lost consciousness and suffered a concussion and a spine.
00:08:16
Speaker 3: Injury while she was on the ride. Oh yeah.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: They also say that Universal is refusing their requests for video footage of the incident. Now, we don't know exactly what video footage exists, but you know, Universal, there are cameras everywhere and probably every single aspect of that ride has video footage of it. It's just a matter of having it handed over. So this just horrible story.
00:08:41
Speaker 4: Now, Universal has said that the ride was functioning properly on that day. Now, I was listening to Ben Crump's news conference the other day, forty six minute news conference, by the way, and I think he makes some good points and I think that he raises some questions that Universal is going to have.
00:08:59
Speaker 1: To deal with, right, because I think, you know, with thrill rides, there are certain rides that they tell you if you have a pre existing condition, you know you shouldn't you shouldn't ride it. But if we have people, if we have multiple people that are suffering pretty severe injury injuries, and now we have a death, maybe they need to take a look at the intensity of the ride and figure out, you know, maybe there's a part of it that's a little too rough on some of the people that are riding it, and they need to consider that.
00:09:25
Speaker 3: So we'll see how this all plays.
00:09:26
Speaker 1: Out, Yes we will, according to court documents filed in Panilla's County, Hulk Hogan's family has requested an investigation into whether his doctors committed medical malpractice. He died July twenty fourth, with the medical examiner's report describing his death as natural, but police have continued to investigate, and now his wife's Sky Daily and his son Nicholas Bulla have filed a petition in court asking for an extension of the statute of limitations in which a medical malpractice lawsuit could be filed. Now they're looking into the healthcare providers at Morton Plant Hospital where he was pronounced dead, and medical professionals at Tampa General Hospital where he had been treated. Now we know that shortly after his death, his daughter Brooke came out and said, you know, I'm suspicious about what's going on here, what actually happened to him. There was some questions about whether or not even Ben cremated and all of that, and his wife confirmed to TMZ that he had undergone a procedure and his frenic nerve, which controls your breathing, had been unintentionally compromised during a recent surgery. And so that kind of solidified the rumors that had been going around before his death that he was on his deathbed, that he wasn't doing well at all. And so if that's the case, that would explain why now they're looking into a medical malpractice lawsuit whoever did that surgery. And then there are also some other questions about what was going on with him. So maybe we'll find out more at some point, but they have filed for that ninety day extension to be able to file a lawsuit.
00:10:58
Speaker 5: I think that's something that they have to do at this point. M a Ryan Gorman Show five to nine every weekday morning on news radio WFLA
