horizontal stripe it's it's just a polo shirt. It's a
polo shirt with horizontal stripes. They don't make them with well,
maybe they do with verticals. I think they do. I
think they make they make vertical stripes. Not so much
now suits with the pin stripes. If you wear pin

pin stripes.

Oh, I were cool clothes.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah you do. It's always it's always the same stuff.
And Ann, good morning. Every morning I start with a
fashion show, don't I pretty much almost every morning. I
don't know why I do that. I have to figure
that out. I talked to my shrink last night. I
reported to her. I hadn't done that in a while,
(03:27):
just a follow.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Up, reported to her like a.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, yeah, I follow every once in a while, I wrote,
every once in a while, I have an ankle monitor. No, no,
every once in a while I report to her just
how things are. Uh, you know, I'm one of those
dead man therapy at therapy for thirty years. I'm a Jew,
you know, Jews the therapy go together.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Pardon today's you. You did not sleep well less?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, I didn't sleep well at all last night. And
I'm trying to get it up, so to speak, and
it's going slowly emotionally, you know, getting camera. Yeah, very funny. Yes,
I'm wearing shorts and a shirt that was just for
you guys. No underwear.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh man, you're welcome. Suck. I can feel it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh no, it's hot, you know, and we want to
swing the what the bell ringers? You know, it's uh,
oh my god, everybody, Yes, good morning?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yes, your ears or your eyes?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
What he's doing? Hold on, I'm going to tune out
for a second.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Or what now? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm listening to the Woody Show.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Of course, by the way, you're not alone. Have you
looked at the ratings? You're far from alone. Okay, let's
do it, guys. It is time for handle on the
news on this Tuesday morning, July one lead story Vodama
is still going on, Amy, what's the latest on that.
(05:19):
I know you're keeping up on the latest news. In
that Senate vote.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Well, they're still waiting.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
They just keep introducing all these amendments and most of
them aren't of much substance. So they haven't done a
final vote on the bill though, but they could do
it today. And if they did do it and pass
it today, then it could go to the House by tomorrow.
But then the House has to look at all the
changes that were made.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, this is it's going to pass. I mean, there's
no issue it's going to pass.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I think I think there's some more rumbling that there's
a few more senators.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who will I'll tell you why it's going to pass,
because there are going to be enough changes in this bill.
This big, beautiful bill is going to get a little ugly.
Looks like it's going through the ugly forest and may
get hit with a few branches. So it can change
(06:14):
pretty dramatically. Now Trump will still call a victory, but
there's some big issues because it's such a traumatic change.
It moves money over to immigration, and it moves money
to defense in a major way, and cut social programs
like crazy because for some reason, social programs have waste
(06:37):
and fraud. If you notice that the military does not
have waste and fraud according to this administration.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah, they haven't talked about the five thousand dollars toilet
seats at least.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
No. Yeah, all of a sudden, wast and fraud don't
exist in the military. So we'll see what happens. There
are some people that are reeling, some senators that are going,
wait a minute, my constituents are going to get nailed
pretty badly here. So we'll see. We'll report during the
day or Amy's certainly will all morning and then reporting
(07:10):
here on KFI throughout the day. As these amendments are passed.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
So as much as Trump wants the bill passed, Elon
Musk does not. He's promised to bankroll primary challenges against
Republican lawmakers who vote to pass the big, beautiful bill.
You remember, Trump and Elon got into pretty much a
huge spat about this earlier, and now Musk is doubling down,
(07:37):
saying every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government
spending and then voted for the biggest dead increase in
history should hang their head in shame, and they will
lose their primary next year if it is the last
thing I do on Earth.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Now that gets interesting. When Trump makes that threat, it's
no idle threat. He has that much political power to
do that. When Elon Musk makes that threat, he has
enough economic power to do that. Must spend three hundred
(08:14):
million dollars to get Donald Trump elected, And if Musk
is willing to spend money, he could throw down a
billion dollars very easily. And all of a sudden, there
are two people these legislators have to sweat, who which one.
What a Hobson's choice they have When you especially think
(08:40):
that there is no mister Hobson running and they still
have a Hobson's choice. They're on the horns of a dilemma.
How many horns are they sitting on? How many horns
does a dilemma have? Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
The only needs one to be painful, all right? Did
he trial update? Jury deliberation got underway yesterday. We talked
about that and the Sean Diddy Combs nicely said, federal
sex trafficking trial hit a snag like immediately about an
hour into you know, weighing all the charges. I guess
(09:21):
some juror they you know, elected a four person got
through all that, and then a juror might have trouble
following the sixty one pages worth of instructions that the
judge handed them.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And so the judge.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Got a note that we're concerned the juror cannot follow
your honor's instructions.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yes, sometimes for women.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Sometimes jury instructions are insane. They go on for hours
and hours, and the judge has to deliver them in
a complete monotone. The judge cannot sound as if he
is pushing one issue or another. If you find charge A,
(10:06):
if you find the defendant guilty of charge A, you
must find him guilty of charge B. If he is
innocent of charge B, you may not find him guilty
of And then it goes on and on and on
the level of proof, the preponderance of the evidence, sixty
one pages of jury instructions. If we're done at a
(10:27):
monotone pardon.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
If one person on the jury is standing out, that
means the others understood them and someone is not following them.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well, yeah, I understood that. One jury just didn't get it.
But that's not the end of the world. Let's say
that jurors tossed. You have the alternate jurors. The alternate
juror just goes into the deliberation room, the jury room.
The problem is is that the jury has to start
from the beginning all over again to bring that new
(10:59):
juror up to speed. That's when it gets a little
bit problematic. So you have a jury it's been sitting
there for five days deliberating. New juror comes in, the
new alternate. Ah boy, here we go again, and the
law says from minute one you have to repeat.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Well, the families are furious. Brian Koberger has agreed to
a plea deal in his murder case. I remember he's
accused of fatally stabbing for University of Idaho students in
their apartment off campus. That was back in November of
twenty twenty two, apparently taking the deal, which would get
(11:37):
him life in prison but not the death penalty.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
His trial was supposed to start in August, so just
in a matter of weeks, the families of the victims
got word of the deal because prosecutors sent them a
letter and one of the family members said, they are
furious the state of Idaho.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
They have failed us.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's an interesting proposition because let's say he received the
death penalty, it doesn't hit for thirty five years, and
so the family members are effectively dead by then, certainly
the ones that are in their fifties. And so he's
going to go to prison for the rest of his life.
(12:25):
He'll never see the outside of a jail cell again.
And I don't know what's worse. What could be worse
is put him in solitary for an extended period of time,
but that's unconstitutional now, it's considered cruel and unusual punishment.
Usually prosecutors talk to the family before they cut the deal.
(12:45):
And I was looking at an interview where the interview
where was asking asking one of the family members, do
you feel some sort of closure, and he said, they'll
never be closure no matter what happens. I'll never get
my family member back. I'll never get my sister back.
And it's true.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
So I don't think. I don't think this guy will
live long in prison.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah he might not. He that's right, killing four kids
or young people, yeah, yeah, the trick has put him
in the general population and start a rumor about him,
and he could start looking around. That's punishment, looking around
every second, figuring out when you're going to die in
the next two minutes.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
This story continues to get a little weirder. The man
who started that wildfire and then fatally shot two firefighters
wounded another in northern Idaho twenty years old was a transient.
Would have guessed who attacked the first responders after they
asked him to move his vehicle in which he was
living in wes Rowley, who he was living out of
(13:54):
his vehicle once aspired apparently to be a firefighter, and
had maybe a handful or so of minor contacts with
area police. There's no manifesto that they've found yet. They
still don't know exactly, you know, what the motive was
or if he was just triggered when the fire department
got there and said move your vehicle. Slash home flash,
(14:16):
Dan of iniquity. I don't know whatever it is, but
another wing nut out there living.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And it is good.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Usually the ambush does not happen with firefighters. That's really unusual.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
You remember the last time was during the riots when
firefighters were being shot at and stuff like that in
ninety two or whatever. You remember that and the big
riots that my brother was a firefighter in Santa Monica
at the time.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Nuts.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
And you remember too, just the anti ice protests where
they set those way mos on fire and firefighters would
not go in because couldn't be protected.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, situations like that.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Down, they'll just let people die. I mean, it's as
they should.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
They're not letting them die. They're being kept from saving.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I know, I understood, but it's another way of doing it.
But the firefighters should not go in at risk to
that kind of risk.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Any the military wants some of its troops back, so,
as you know, Trump has assigned like four thousand National
Guard troops to LA to keep the peace, protect buildings,
and ice agents. Well, now, the head of the National
Guards US Northern Command, General Gregory Guillo, called Pete Hegseth,
(15:42):
the Defense Secretary, and said, hey, can we get two
hundred of those troops back? We need them for firefighting efforts.
The National Guard is normally assigned to wildfire efforts, apparently
in California, and Governor Newsom says that their troops are
now just at their forty percent of their regular staffing
level and they need some work because we're hitting peak
fire seats a fire season.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, can't wait to see how this one pans out.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
He's only asking for two hundred.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I know, I know, how can you not give him
two hundred? I mean it's a very small ask, all right.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
When you have something called Alligator Alcatraz, as president, you
go visit it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
What are they thinking?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
The President heads to Alligator Alcatraz to day? You know,
obviously a lot of emotions surrounding this. The name refers
to the detention center that well, it's detention processing deportation
camp for undocumented migrants.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
That I mean, really in a sneeze was put together? Right?
We never heard this before?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
By a thousand beds, Yeah, by and Ron DeSantis. If
there's anybody more engaged in illegal alien and illegal migrants
than Donald Trump, it'sn it's Fron DeSantis. Yeah, they put
this up in a blank. You're right.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
They put it up though, because it was like hurricane response.
He said, we're kind of built for this kind of thing.
They know how to put stuff together quickly because of that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
How do you put trailers? How do you put trailers
and tends together that are hurricane resistant? Explain that one
to me.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
No, he's saying that's why they were able to put
everything together like the hurricane response stuff. Oh, I see,
they have to put the trailers out and all that
and get that put together.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So he said, they know how to do it.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Understood.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Well, there's a big button that just says Alcatraz, you know,
Alligator Alcatraz that they were been waiting to hit forever.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Let's make it happen. And press Caricteria Press Secretary of
Caroline Caroline Levitt called it Alligator Alcatraz. I mean straight out,
it said nick name that's now become I guess its
official name. And from what I understand, there are not
going to be any fenses around this thing. You want
to escape muzzletov go ahead. Now you're going to be
(18:11):
a nowhere derv for an alligator.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
The chant in the White House now is don't build
the wall. Don't build the wall, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
The Democrats are backing off on the environment on this one.
For more than a half a century, the California Environmental
Quality Act has allowed environmentalists to slow suburban growth, as
well as given neighbors and dissatisfied parties a powerful tool
to stop projects that they were not in favor of.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Well.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Governor Newsom has now signed two bills that will allow
development projects to get around rigorous environmental review and potentially
delaying the delaying and cost inflating lawsuits that have discouraged
building and why because we don't have enough housing for
the nearly forty million residents in the state.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I'm gonna do a lot more about this at seven
twenty because there are a couple of aspects of this
that a lot of this doesn't make sense. I'm talking
my current law, and they're going to be changing it
to something logical that's coming out at seven twenty.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Nothing better than living in southern California where the roads
and the potholes are filled and you can enjoy those beaches,
don't go to the beach. Big crowds expected, of course,
to flock to local beaches for the fourth July weekend. However,
La County says, don't go swimming, surfing or enjoying the
(19:48):
beaches because they're filled with poop.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yep, let's go. Let's let's go down the list. Let's
go down the list. All right, pis Creek Crap crap
crap beach at Paradige Cove, and then there's crap beach
at will Rogers Date Park. And then there's crap beach
at Marina del Rey, and let's not forget crap Beach
at Venice and then oh wow, wow, this one crap beach.
(20:13):
It's Pega County Beach, and Santa Monica crap Beach at
the Pier, and only to be finished with crap Beach
in San Pedro. So we're renaming beaches a.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Lot of seven beaches. They don't.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I mean, that's the one thing, right, we pay all
these high taxes. At least we've got the beaches. And
you go there and there's floaties.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know if they're floaties. I think it's more
sewage coming up. Just switch water as opposed to floaties.
Nice thought, Yeah, nice thought.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
You take me right back to Caddyshack.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Who needs to know the hurricanes are coming? There's an
abrupt cutoff of satellite data that is used for hurricane forecasting.
It was supposed to happen on Monday, but now Noah says,
you know, we're going to have that delayed until July thirty.
First data loss from a Department of Defense weather satellite
(21:14):
has announced was supposed to happen on Monday, but they've
pushed that back. The Defense Department is still going to
maintain the Defense Meteorological satellite program, but said it's not
going to share the imagery with Noah and NASA any longer.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Why.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean that, you know, there are things I can
understand the concept of waste and fraud. I get that
I may disagree with a lot of the programs. But
explain to me the logic of saying we are not
going to share the information that we are gathering with Noah.
That is a weird one. And maybe because Noah is
(21:53):
hated so much, it's weird. It is weird.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
This under WTF.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
A group of fifth grade students were arrested last fall
over an alleged plot to murder a fellow student after
being heard discussing their plans. Another student heard them discussing
this what how crazy is this? And this was in Arizona.
They planned to fatally stab which was probably not the
(22:23):
best choice, a fellow fifth grade student, and then forge
a suicide note to make it appear self inflicted. So
through the investigation, they found out that one of the
ACUS students that happened to be a girl, was allegedly
in a relationship with the victim, a boy who had
cheated on her fifth grade.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
This, yeah, this is nuts and how sophistic can this be?
As in the case of fifth graders conspiring.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
To do this, she handed him and wanted him dead,
She said.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, And they're going to be arrested and they're going
to get three and a half minutes in prison because
they're fifth graders.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
It doesn't get better, you know, If that's how you're
plotting someone's demise in fifth grade? Yeah, I don't know
if you grow out of it, Kno didn't.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
The private musings of the president could become public. Iron
Link hackers are threatening to disclose more emails stolen from
President Trump's circle. They did release another batch to the
media ahead of the twenty twenty four election. The hackers,
who go by the pseudonym Robert, say they have about
one hundred gigabytes of emails from the accounts of White
(23:39):
House Chief of Staff Susie Wilds, Trump lawyer Lindsay Halligan,
Trump advisor Roger Stone, and even actress porn actress Stormy Daniels.
The White House and the FBI have responded with a
statement from FBI Director Cash Battel. He said anyone associated
with any kind of breach of national security will be
fully investigated and prosecuted to the extent of the law.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
What do you think those emails are about? If not sycophantaic,
you are the greatest, You are the best, You are
the biggest, particularly from Stormy and Daniels, What do you
think those are about? How much national security stuff within him?
I'd be surprised.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
We're going to find out what shape we are.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, we are all right?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and the singer
Bono walk into a bar Bono sorry it's and criticized
President Donald Trump, so very emotional video farewell. Just yesterday
staffers of the US Agency for International Deployment, which is
(24:46):
now going to be.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Kind of absorbed. I guess, oh, it's disappearing.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's disappearing. I don't think that it's going to be
giving the kind of aid that it did. I mean
massive amounts of kids all over the world and inoculating
kids and being credited with saving tens of millions of
not hundreds of millions of children through the years, and
they're just shutting it down because it's waste, it's fraud.
(25:16):
This one really hit people pretty hard, the shutting down
of USAID.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
And this goes back to JFK.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Right, Yeah, he started it.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Yeah, Trump's about to turn up the heat on Nyahu.
President Trump is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at
the White House on Monday. This is Trump's steps up
his push on the Israeli government and Hamas to come
up with a ceasefire agreement and a hostage agreement and
(25:47):
an end to the war in Gaza. This is Netnaho's
third trip to the White House since Trump got back
in office.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
It's very difficult to broke a piece because that means
if there's going to be a my guess is Hamas
will have to recognize Israel. I can't imagine that a
peace would move forward with Hamas still arguing and basic
premise that Israel must be destroyed, that Israel must be
(26:15):
must disappear, that Israel saying we want the hostages back.
And I mean, look what Israel is doing to the civilians.
I'm looking at a Netflix documentary Life and Death and Gaza,
and it is the filming from four families that are living,
civilian families that are living under this bombardment, and it
(26:39):
is heart breaking to see what's happening. And that's from them.
I mean, the whole thing is just horrific to see.
And Israel one thing I noticed and I want and
you comment on it. Nothing is coming out of Hamas
talking about October seventh, that that was a bad move. Nothing,
(27:01):
as far as the Palestinians are concerned. Israel woke up
October eighth and just for no reason decided to bombard Gaza.
So where are they going to make peace? How are
they going to do it? I don't know. I'm hoping
Trump is able to pull it off.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
You know what, was strange. On that same note, built
is that when Israel bombed Iran, everybody said that Israel
started it unprovoked.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Well, I mean the argument is that how is that different?
And unilaterally? Because Iran was shooting missiles into Israel, shooting
missiles into Tel Aviv on a regular basis, and the
and of course the creation of the nuclear weapon, nuclear
weapon program that Israel and Natagnat who says we will
(27:54):
never ever let Iran have that weapon an exit, it's
an exidential exit, existential threat. Yeah, I got it to
our very existence. In the case of the Hamas attack
over the border, that was the straight out murder of
twelve hundred innocent people. Now a couple hundred soldiers, so
(28:15):
let's say a thousand innocent people. And the kidnapping of
two hundred and fifty men, women, children, the elderly. That's
a little bit different. And I keep in mind the
death of those civilians. And I said this yesterday was
the worst attack and the killing of Jewish people since
the Holocaust.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
No, I agree.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I just found it so that everybody forgets October seventh,
But the minute Israel, it's Iran, it's you started it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, yeah, Iran, I mean not at Israel. Israel, did
you unilaterally do that attack? Yes, it did, but that's
in reference to Iran sending in missiles over the years
and over again. All right, we're done, guys. KFI am sixty.
