patton now becomes a subordinate to omar bradley. there's an interesting interlude between omar bradley and the president. it's just after the sicilian campaign, and the president knows that omar bradley is back in washington briefly, and he summons him to the white house. and they discuss the sicilian campaign. and then suddenly the president starts to tell omar bradley about this extraordinary project that is taking place out in the sands of new mexico, and he starts describing the manhattan project, the development of the a-bomb. bradley is amazed by this because at this point even officers above his level, officers like eisenhower and mcarthur, don't know anything about development. so he assumes that the president has just been carried away for the moment, goes back to europe to continue the war, never breathes a word to anybody including his superior, eisenhower. that this project is advancing in the sands of new mexico. which will produce an atom bomb. on the subject of the bomb, there's a misconception that i would like to cl

good luck, bradley. good luck, gloria. [ applause ] kobe bryant's mother probably didn't have the best mother's day on account of there's dissension in the family. i was telling you last week that kobe is suing his mom, pam, that's her down there, right looks a little like donna summers, the late, great. suing his mom, pam, to stop her from selling memorabilia that kobe allegedly left at pam's house. but my rules are, if you leave it at my house, then it's mine. [ applause ] you've got like 72 hours to claim your crap before i start wearing it. this is a cute sweater that you left. pam allegedly received $450,000 in advance because of a restraining order that prevents pam from selling the remaining items. and i'm thinking, this is kobe being jerky. we never read anything about them having a bad relationship for anything. i was wondering, what is the root of this relationship? well, thank got for twitter. because kobe got on twitter and shared with us all exactly what his relationship is with his mother.

- his name was bradley foster. he was the maintenance man here. apparently, he fell into the compactor. - i'm gonna send a guy out to check the parking lot for his car. - yeah, i'd look for a compact. [all chuckling] - it's not funny. - hey, did you see what he was wearing? those aren't briefs they're more like boxers. [all laughing] - he was probably still alive when he dropped into the gears. the rotating blades must have ripped his spinal column and shredded his lungs. he must have been screaming and begging for his life the whole way down. - captain, this is paul wellman, the building manager. he found the body. - and when was that mr. wellman? - it was at 8:30. i had noticed that the door was open and that was kind of strange so i, you know, turned on the lights and i came in and that's when i saw the blood sort of-- sort of trickling down. at first i thought it was an animal that had been trapped. i looked inside and that's when i saw bradley. - what do you think happened? - well the compactor must have jammed. i guess he forgot to turn off

the other is a 33-year-old man, alexander bradley. he's suing hernandez for allegedly shooting him after an argument at a miami strip club. it all comes less than a week after hernandez was arraigned on murder charges in odin lloyd's death and pled not guilty. "boston globe" reporters wesley lowery joins me now. a lot of these witnesses are reluctant to testify, including this guy who was allegedly shot in the face by hernandez. >> exactly. alexander bradley, who has alleged in a civil suit that aaron hernandez shot him in the face outside of a strip club in miami, florida, earlier this year, has not been cooperative at all. in fact, florida law enforcement officials have told us that's why hernandez has not been charged, one of the reasons hernandez has not been charged if that shoots is because bradley won't talk to him. he's trying to sue in civil course, but he will not talk to police about what allegedly happened when he was shot in the face. he has testified before a grand jury once before, but, you know, has gone awol essential
