Look at us, we're like a morning television show.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
We are.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's gonna be hot too. It's going to be hot outside,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Let's let's get the latest meteor Nil saveja.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well it's going to be hot. I'll give you that
back to you guys at the studio. But the truth is,
you know, we think of this as kind of silly. Yeah,
it's hot. You can see that it's hot, the temperature
is rising, but all the different things that shuffle into
that deck. Wildfires, we got fires going on. Thank god
we don't have sant anas. But the air quality terrible.
(00:40):
It's well, yeah, air quality across the board not good.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
And there is a heat wave ozone advisory that was
already issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
So they're asking you to stay indoors if you can.
Hopefully that means you have ac Unfortunately we know that
so many people don't. So there are of course the
(01:04):
cooling centers. But seriously, as we joke about it, I
mean heat again, I will say it. It is the
number one killer as it relates to when it comes
to mother nature. It will it's it's uh, it can
do a number on you. So do your best to
stay safe.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Stay safe.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Did we just tell you to stay safe, Hidra?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
If we listen, if you have to listen to these
two wing nuts to tell to be safe in life?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Hey, did you call me a wing nut?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
One wing nut? If you have to listen to this
one normal person in one wing nut to tell you
to be safe, then you deserve what you get.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Okay, But I will say this, Oh, now you're pretty serious.
Never okay, I will say this.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I'd never had air conditioning until I bought a house
with my wife, so I didn't grow up with air
conditioning in LA. By the way, this is what they
This is how you know if you're going to rent
a place with no air conditioning. The sign out side
says vacancies old world charm.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Ah, yeah, of course cozy.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, it's fit's as old world charm. And you're in
you know, Los Angeles. That means we have no air conditioning.
So yeah, we didn't have any air conditioning. I think
I had a portable unit that I finally purchased for
our apartment that we had when we first got married.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
There's a lot of people who don't.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
My mom still doesn't. And the house that I grew
up in, we don't didn't have it.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
And how does she do? How does she fare? Right now?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It doesn't phase her?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Well, I guess that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, no, it's tough, cookie, No, it's just what will
She lives in an area where the kind of the
ocean water comes up or air comes up over the
Santa Monica Mountains and it kind of drops by ten
degrees I think there. But right now it doesn't look
like anybody's not going to get hit.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, I mean even along the coast is still going
to be hot, but a little more bearable. But yesterday
from Palm Springs to Santa Monica the pier there there
was a thirty four degree difference. So in Palm Springs
it was one hundred and eighteen this is yesterday afternoon,
and then at the pier it was eighty four degrees.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Do you and John go to Palm Springs at all?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
We do?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And have you ever been out and go in the
pool at night at midnight and it's one hundred degrees.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
No, we haven't done that. Golf, and it's awful.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
How can you golf? It's awful. Heat, it's awful. All
that's strenuous walking and oh no, you're in a cart
swing Come on that with a fan runner the runners in.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
A cart Yeah, athletes for sure.
Speaker 7 (03:32):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So triple digits across southern California canna hit all the
places you expect, but some of the places are like
I know, we're in the valley here in Burbank, uh,
and this is considered the valley of sorts, but it's
getting hot here today, and I don't think of burd
Bank as being.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Like, well, it's almost a safety. It's almost ninety degrees
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
When I pulled in on my way here on uh
what the one thirty four, it was eighty seven and
so it's already almost ninety degrees here. I heard from
a parent who said that their son's high school JV
game football game today Lachaanyata High School versus can't well.
(04:14):
Sacred Heart in lachan YadA Flintridge had to be canceled
for today, so they postponed it to Saturday. I mean,
I don't know how much better it's going to be Saturday.
But you know you can't mess around in the seat. No, no,
you make fun of me, But no, I'm not making
fun of you. Oh come on, you come on, give
us a call on the talk back.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Of course he's making fun of me reinforce.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
Yeah I am. Please, somebody please back back me up.
That will not be difficult. They will come to your
defense for sure. I was looking at this list of
stay cool in the heat tips. You know, stay hydrated
very seriously, that's the key. But they gave some some specs,
(04:58):
just like, do I need to know that we sweat
around half a pint daily from both feet?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
That is disgusting. That is really disgusting. Why do I
need to know that?
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
No I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm yeah. Anyways, where like, you know what I learned
from traveling, If you go to hot countries, just duplicate
how they dress and eat because they deal with it
on the daily.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
So if you go to a lot of those hot
countries are topless. I've been to some of them. All
I'm saying is, Marla, Yes, it's gonna be hot today.
Are you in or are you out?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I'm in? Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
If we're gonna go to the talk back, all right, fellas, talkback.
We're gonna use type breakers throughout the entirety of the show.
So where sandals, flip flops, you know, all that stuff,
because your foot, sweat evaporates. But light clothing, loose cloth clothing,
(06:00):
and strangely enough, warm, warm beverages or hot beverages are
actually better. What scientifically your body? Where are you getting
this information? I need a source attribution, attribution, I am,
And that's why you need no true There's been studies
(06:24):
over and over that show that what ends up happening
is your body. That's why in these hot places they're
not drinking ice water. They think we're weird. They drink tea.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
I still, I know you're the go ahead, Google, Google.
I'm having a hard time believing that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Well we're When we come back, there is going to
be an egg faced Marla after she does a little homework,
and then we have much more to get to. So
I'm going to start doing. You want me to come
knocking on your door? Hey are you okay? They would
lock every single block they have on the door. You
(06:59):
can go check on your neighbors because they go, hi,
how are you yeah, sure or no.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I'm good, Come on in because I'm friendly.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'd hear nine to one one being dialed in the background.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
All right, we do have an answer about whether or
not you should be drinking hot beverages in hot weather.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You had an answer, You have your what you feel
good with?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Well, I gave an answer. Yes, you are correct.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What was that?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
You are correct?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I couldn't my headphones.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
You are correct.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
There is benefits to drinking hot beverages when it is
hot outside.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It is weird.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
When you travel and they offer you tea and it's
one hundred and four outside.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That is pretty wild. And to back it up, even
my mother texted me and says.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
What you meant?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
My new best friend?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Apparently, she says, Grandma used to tell me that about
hot beverages.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So there's the source. Yeah. I didn't even have to
go to Google. No, I did go to Google, and
there are several articles out there.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So I know who transcends the power of the folk
reporter moms.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
The moms, Yeah, moms know best.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Okay, let's talk about something that I hate to have
to talk about, and that is the latest deadly school
shooting that we were covering yesterday about this time in Georgia.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
ABC's Derek Dennis on it today.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
We've learned a lot since last talking to you about
twenty four hours ago.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Catch us up to.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Speed, especially knowing that the shooter the fourteen year old. Yes,
he will be tried as an adult, but he was
questioned by the FBI a year ago.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Dennis, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
ABC News has learned that the suspect in this school
shooting in Georgia had been on the radar authorities for
at least a year. They found that he had allegedly
made some threats online, and they went to his home
and questioned him and his parents, but nothing came of it.
(08:50):
The determination was made that he was not at any
risk of committing a harm, and that the guns in
his parents possession or under lock and key, and that
he had no access. Fast forward a year later, we
get this school shooting in winder Georgia, which is about
(09:12):
an hour east of Atlanta, at Appalachi High School. Four dead,
multiple others wounded and injured. Many of the victims are hospitalized,
but some have been released. That's the good news. But
you're right, the suspect, fourteen year old student at the
school will be charged with murder and tried.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
As an adult, you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Help but think in a situation like this, Derek, that
is so heartbreaking, you know, as a parent myself to
think about that. But how much anger will rise up
when you find out that it was see something, say something,
do nothing? Again, this is not the first time we've
heard this type that, Oh, yeah, they were on the radar.
(09:57):
What does a radar help if you don't move away
from the iceberg? I mean, at this point, we're looking
at another story like this where a young person was
able to get their hands on a weapon and you know,
take it into school or have it somewhere on the
campus because as we heard yesterday that he excused himself
(10:18):
at some point from class and so it had to
be somewhere near or somewhere on campus, I would imagine.
And the parents now have to go A year ago,
there was a heads up and nothing came of it.
What do you have any idea? Has there been any
information as to what the FBI uses to gauge whether
(10:38):
someone is a threat? How is what is their threat
assessment process?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Yeah, we don't know. I mean we know that they
questioned the parents. They questioned the student. They get some
input from from their school on what's going on, But
as far as we know, investigators are still trying to
track down where the breakdown was. You know, we're not
enough questions asked. You know, was it a sense that
(11:08):
the parents just sort of waved it off and then
they took the parents word. We don't know, but that
is part of the investigation. And we know because we've
seen video of investigators going to the suspect's home questioning
his parents, taking out belongings, evidence, that kind of thing,
So we know they're on it. We just want to
(11:29):
get those answers desperately to be able to report them.
And I'm sure families of victims wanted even more desperately.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Now the question is being asked, will the father or
real mom and dad be charged in this? That doesn't
happen often. It only happened with.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Michigan, Michigan right the crumbles, the Oxford High School shooting,
where their parents were charged with neglect and they were charged,
you know, basically essentially with them murder as accomplices in
the school shooting. There. We know, George is a different state.
You know, there may be a difference in the jurisdictional
(12:09):
rules there, but this case certainly brings that to mind.
If there's evidence that the parents were neglectful in some way,
whether they'll be held accountable as well, We'll have to see,
but I'm sure prosecutors are going to look at that,
as they made a quick determination that they would not
only charge the team with murder, but try him as
an adult.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Our guest right now is Derek Dennis from ABC News.
Derek the thirteen year old when he was interviewed a
year ago, and it said that the FBI goes out there,
The FBI does that investigation, sees the supposed online threats,
the photos of the guns, all that, and then once
they made their assessment, they handed it over to the
(12:51):
local sheriffs. From what we've been told, the local sheriffs
took that, and we're told the sheriff's office said it
alerted local schools for continued monitors of the suspect. What
kind of monitoring was taking place in the last year
of that suspect If he was allowed to just get
up and leave, you know, without a pass, from what
the students said, didn't even have a bathroom pass. What
(13:13):
kind of observation was being done.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
It's difficult to determine and it raises a lot of questions.
We've been hearing from witness accounts fellow students at the
school that this suspect was a loner, very much to himself,
and was not in class, often skipped school, or was
otherwise absent more often than not. And so that raises
(13:39):
another question. You know, if he's not there, how can
they monitor him? And if he's not in school, why
isn't he in school? He's required to be there, and
so there's clearly some breakdown, said investritors need to go
through and get to the bottom of.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, I mean the details are pretty terrifying.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
That he left the classroom, by the way, this is
the second day of school a year, and he leaves
the classroom, he comes back, knocks on the door, and
a student saw that he was armed and didn't let
him in, and so then he went to another classroom
and opened fire. You know, Thank goodness, the nine who
were also injured are they are all expected to recover.
Those killed, though two teachers to students. The teachers were
(14:16):
thirty nine and fifty three, and the students both fourteen
years old.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
The Georgia is also an open carry state.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
It allows permitless carry for shotguns, rifles, or handguns, and
it doesn't have a red flag law, which would allow
law enforcement to confiscate firearms from someone deemed a threat.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Right, and that may be you know where the breakdown was,
you know, not being able to confiscate firearms. But at
the same time, you know, a fourteen year was not
supposed to have firearms them, so and sort.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You'd have them on campus. And if you're supposed to
be watching this guy, you'd think that one thing you'd
be watching for would be guns. All right, Derek, We're
up against the clock. Derek Dennis from ABC News, thanks
so much again for the take of the time.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Thanks there.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Earlier I called you Dennis, but worried about that half right, well, I.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Could have said, mister, mister Dennis, thank you so much.
The basis all right, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Do you like the heat?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Uh No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I don't do I don't do well in the heat.
I what you turned into a werewolf? What's the I
just I don't feel well. I don't feel well when
I'm outside and it's really really hot. I just can't
my body doesn't do well with it so cold cold?
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Do I like the cold?
Speaker 10 (15:30):
No?
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I don't do well with cold? Temperate? Is I like temperate?
I like seventy two degrees? Yeah, we'll just good.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
On the west side where Fox eleven is, it doesn't
get too too hot. Yeah, but I'm I'm I get
cold easily.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
And I get hot easily. You know what they call
that high maintenance?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No being a woman.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Oh okay, well I don't have my blanket on yet,
so I'm not. I'm okay right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Where it's great, you know, even Robert Woman, our fearless leader. Yes,
Coke comes on, Coate goes off, Coke comes on, like
in the same conversation.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Oh you should see me, like I need it's so
hot in here, open a window, and then five seconds
later I'm cold.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Here's the thing, fat is insulation. I just kind of
said at seventy two all day, So I'm shade in
the summer and I'm warm. So no problem here.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
So you're fine.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Yeah, he doesn't bother you.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Actually, being like like being by a pool is great.
But they just they like hiking in multiple layers of clothing.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
It's not well, you shouldn't know you you shouldn't be
doing that.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
And then I'm drinking hot beverage.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Beverages, which is good to day.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
All right, So, speaking of getting hot, we've got September
tenth coming, the big debate between Harris and Trump five
days and they finally came to a consensus. It seems
what the MIC's being on being off.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
In other words, she agreed to it, officially grudgingly.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, but he originally didn't like the fat they were
going to turn off the mics before, and then it
worked to his advantage with Biden, right, because Biden was
kind of left to his own devices to just kind
of wander. And I still it's burned into my mind
the look of on Trump's face when he wasn't allowed
(17:20):
to talk and Biden was just going in weird directions
and couldn't speak, and he's like, maybe this.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Is good, Maybe this works.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Yeah. I mean at one point during the June twenty
seventh debate, which was definitely hard to watch, it almost
seemed like Trump was a little concerned at one point.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
R Yeah, because we all.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Were, because three times that day.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, So the rules are ultimately the same from that
debate to this one. So Mike's are muted. There's no
live audience, there's no notes. It's a ninety minute debate
with two commercial breaks. This is on ABC News. It
will be moderated by David Muir and Lindsay Davis during
(18:07):
those ninety minutes, and during those two commercial breaks, the
candidates cannot have any interaction with their staff and they'll
just be there at the podiums.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, and all that seems legitimate. That that seems like
the basic you know, I've done some debates myself. That
seems like some basic ground rules.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
But you were part of the debate.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You moderated no where I've debated, Okay, theology and the
like philosophy, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Logic, Well you do that every Sunday too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
So it's a I'm familiar with, you know, structured debates,
and I've been to a bazillion of them. But it's like, well,
at this all seems reasonable. You say your points and
then they give you time to counter. I love how
well Harris. The Harris camp was a little snarky, and
I'm kind of okay with it when they're like, we
(18:58):
understand that you know, basically that the former president may
not be comfortable having active, you know, converse or exchanges
with Vice President Harris. So they basically wrote a letter
to say we're okay with all these things, but it
did come with a little bit of snark.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Well yeah, so here's here's a quote.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Vice President Harris, a former prosecutor, will be fundamentally disadvantaged
by this format, which will serve to shield Donald Trump
from direct exchanges with the Vice pitle love that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yes, I'm sorry, that is good poking.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
And then the poking continues.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Notwithstanding our concerns, we understand that Donald Trump is a
risk to skip the debate altogether, as he has threatened
to do previously, if we do not accede to his
preferred format.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
We do not want to jeopardize the debate.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
For this reason, we accepted the full set of rules
proposed by ABC.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
If she's your candidate or not, you've got to at
least appreciate that that's a that's a funny job.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, and this was in Trump fashion.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
He was last night was supposed to be by the
way the Fox News debate between Trump and Harris, and that.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
That was nixed.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That didn't hit me.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
So that's why he was at a town hall in Pennsylvania,
in the all important state of Pennsylvania, which very well
could call this selection.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Georgia are the are the key where everyone's looking right now.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He sat down with Sean Hannity in a town hall
and he just obliterated ABC News, And you know, that's
that's part of his strategy because if he, if he
you know, quote wins this debate after talking so much
smack against the network and saying that it's rigged, then
(20:42):
he can say, well, I still won even though it
was rigged. And then if he loses, quote loses the debate,
then it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
He's poisoned the well. And it's exactly what we expected.
All Right, Michael Monk is going to be coming up
our very own Michael Monks talking about the Hunt Hunter
Biden trial and he'll be bringing us the latest on that.

his federal tax case that's supposed to be starting today

an Alfred plea. It would acknowledge there's enough evidence to
convict him, and then he'd accept whatever sentence the judge
hands down. La Kenny Sheriff's deputies have been patrolling the

Marlte is here alongside Neil Savedra for Gary and Shannon
this week where they enjoy life. I know it's a
big day for Shannon anyway, because it's the start of
the NFL season.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
She's wearing like a some sort of hat that has
two beers on it with straws that go into her mouth.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
I doubt that a couple of broads. Big night for NFL. Yeah,
it's the uh.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
The winning Chiefs versus the Ravens Tonight Okay, we're talking
about Hunter Biden. He is on trial again for tax evasion.
We have kfi's Michael Monk's on the line to bring
us up to speed. This trial is in Los Angeles, Michael,
it is indeed.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Good morning Marla, Good morning Neil.
Speaker 15 (27:36):
And a big change of pace here in downtown LA
this morning, because what we were all expecting was for
jury selection to begin, as it does in these types
of trials, where the prosecutors and the defense offer up
questions for the judge to scope out these jurors, and
then both sides can decide who might best suit their
strategies in this case of Hunter Biden and the tax
(27:59):
avision charges that he faces. But instead this morning, the
president's son offered up an Alford plea. And that's one
of those situations where you say, look, I believe I'm innocent,
but I also believe that the prosecutors may have enough
evidence to convict me in this trial. And so that
brought the proceedings to a halt. And now the court
(28:20):
has been adjourned until about eleven o'clock this morning, so
that the defense and the prosecutors can start to negotiate
with an Alfred plea. In the federal court cases, apparently
the judge and the prosecutors have to agree to accept
this thing. So we're waiting to see how these negotiations
go this morning.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
So if in fact the judge accepts in both sides
agree to this Alford plea, then what would be the
next step.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Well, we'll have to find out what they have to
say about this.
Speaker 15 (28:47):
Hunter Biden was facing a possible sentence of seventeen years
based on this, and keep in mind he's also already
been convicted earlier in the summer in Delaware on federal
gun charges. Sentencing for that case is expected to have
in November, so analysts to look at these sorts of
things at the federal level don't expect his sentence to
be as high as it could be, So we will
(29:10):
have to see. I read this morning that Alfred please
in federal court cases involving the Department of Justice are
seldom accepted. But of course this is also an extraordinary case.
This isn't just any run of the mill defendant. This
is the son of the President of the United States,
and it happens to be taking place right here in
La So we're keeping a close eye on what those
(29:31):
next steps might be, and maybe we'll know more at
about eleven.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Is this the federal equivalent of no contest?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
It's similar to that.
Speaker 15 (29:39):
This has a very specific name based on a case
out of North Carolina years ago. And again, just to reiterate,
this is somebody saying, I don't think I'm guilty, but
I do think I'm going to.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Lose this case.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So what's the next step in all of this. Then, yeah,
that's what we're going to wait for. So at eleven
o'clock we're expecting the court to reconvene and see how
those negotiations went. Again, if the Doga seldom accepts these cases,
they might just proceed on as planned Originally. Hunter Biden
says he was not guilty, and jury selection was supposed
(30:11):
to begin today. We were expecting a lot of questions
for these perspective jurors about maybe any inherent biases that
they might have towards somebody like Hunter Biden from a
prominent family, from the president's family, but also what type
of biases might they have against the irs who is
involved here, So that would be a concern prosecutors. Right
(30:34):
in that sentiment, you're probably pretty universal for folks in
the court. So if it's somebody who's like, yeah, let's
stick it to the irs, you might not want them
on the jury if you're trying to convict Hunter Biden.
Speaker 11 (30:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
So, so ultimately he's charged with failing to pay at
least one point four million in federal taxes while living
and quote extravagant lifestyle. So a lot of his lifestyle
would come up in this particular trial as it did.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
What kind of lifestyle are you are you talking about there, Marlaw?
Maybe some sex workers, adult entertainment, a sex club membership,
curricular activities, pornography, strip clubs, that type of thing.
Speaker 15 (31:11):
There's no question that Hunter Biden, the son of the president,
has had a high profile lifestyle. A lot of questions
about that over the course of the twenty twenty election,
of course, and throughout President Biden's presidency. And we would
probably learn even more details if this goes to trial,
about his particular challenges that he's experienced in his life
(31:32):
and the choices that he's made. And you know, he's
made no bones about the fact that that he's been
a drug addict for quite some time and is trying
to overcome that and also has had some pretty well
documented relationships with sex workers and other bad.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Choices that he's made over the course of the years.
Speaker 15 (31:49):
Let's just hosk Michael, he didn't take photos. Wait what
I hesitate to report this to you, Neil. We've seen
some photos related on social media team from some of
those choices, and they are not particularly flattering. So this again,
you know, he's left a trail of evidence of his lifestyle.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah, I mean, he was found guilty earlier, and so
that guilty verdict, he will be sentenced, but not until
after the election.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Do we have a sentencing date for him then?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
And then also President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden,
it's unclear if they're going to attend any part of
this trial. The First Lady did attend several days of
the Delaware trial, so unclear about that. But in terms
of a sentencing date for the Delaware case, do we
know when that is after the election.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
Yes, it is supposed to happen in November. And President
Biden himself has tried to be hands off from his
formal capacity as the Federal Department of Justice investigates his son.
Of course, he has expressed support the Bidens are a
very close family, and we've seen that President Biden loves
his son, of course, in spite of the difficulties that
(32:59):
his son has experienced. So probably unlikely that the president
would come. But he's also not a candidate anymore. And
that's also important because President Biden will leave office early
next year, and so there are questions if there is
some sort of dangerous sentencing hanging around his son's neck,
does he offer a pardon before he leaves.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Maybe we see pictures of both of them doing crack.
I mean, he's on his way out, Neil, and I'm
just saying they will both.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Have extra time after January twentieth. Should I apologize on
his behalf?
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Do not?
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
