headed for the rivers. what worries me about this chemical is what they re not testing for, the additive to that chemical. that additive is benzene. we haven t been confirmed that they re testing for that, but that becomes another very large big game changer. are these people being exposed to benzene? if they are we need to start doing blood draws immediately. and is that benzene headed to the ohio river? is it going to the mississippi? we re going all the way down to louisiana. they re prepared and they know it s coming to shutdown their intake valves that will allow it to pass by, but it won t evaporate or sab sorb in the water. and so at this point i d really like to know that information because they need to start setting up boons as well, and communities need to be on higher alert about benzene.
mike emanuel has the story in silver spring, maryland. 2400 miles from us in arizona. mike, hello. good morning. with overdoses on the rise, schools in this upscale washington, d.c. suburb are fighting back. landon houseman was a 16-year-old known for being smart and funny and athletic. he took a percocet pill laced with fentanyl and ended up dead at home on his bathroom floor. his father, mark, found him the next morning and mark houseman, as you can imagine, is devastated. fentanyl is the big game changer. dealers are lacing fentanyl in other things as well, too, from marijuana to harder drugs. you know, people ask me all the time what is my view about fentanyl? the best way i can describe it, it s a destroyer of worlds. montgomery county, maryland schools have stocked up on
here s another big game changer. this could be the breaking piece of evidence in this case, they are need to get a dna swab of kohberger. either he doesn t voluntarily or they ve got to get a court order asap to get his dna swab. two of these victims had defense wounds. i bet you anything there might be his skin under the fingernails of two of these victims. they will now be able to do that dna match. i think that is really what s going to break this case. the last point i want to make is you ve got his phone you ve got to go back to phone records any text messages. it would really help the case you could show he knew these victims were the chief came out said this was targeted so is he texting any of these victims on social media? was he connected to any of these victims? and also his bank records. we do not have those answers yet because under idaho law everything is sealed until he gets to the state of idaho. which leads me to the question
teachers across the country and that they are asking for too much or that they are teaching in the wrong ways or teefing the wrong books. we have got sidetracked from the fundamental basics that we need to be educating the next generation and we want we can do two things. we can either lower the standards for teachers or raise the pay. i certainly know which one of those i would choose. it s an eay choice. i d like to know your thoughts on the bill introduced to raise the national behind mum salary for conclusive-12 teachers to $60,000 minimum. would it be enough? is more needed? it would certainly be a game changer. $60,000 is roughly the median salary for teachers. but starting teachers are often paid far less. a lot of those salaries are around the $40,000 to $45,000 mark when teachers are first starting out. many have student loans to pay off. that would be a pretty big game changer. but i would say let s start with
