Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. I'm super excited to talk to
Kenather Brooker from KFI News. She let us know that
she auditioned for The Hunting Wives and has remained mom
about her experience until today when she'll tell us all
(00:24):
about it. Hunting Wives is takeoff surprise hit for Netflix
that everybody is talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Really, there's boobs in it. Did you think it was
a surprise it was going to be watching? It's a
written up as this surprise runaway hit.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
One of the most famous trial attorneys of the twentieth
century died this week at the age of ninety six.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Jerry Spence. You remember him now.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He just got always, always wore the suede jacket with
the tassels.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Famous, called the cowboy lawyer, among other things. He was
a prosecutor at first. In fact, if I'm not mistaken,
he prosecuted the last death penalty case in the state
of Wyoming, which was decades ago, but ten million dollars
for the family of nuclear whistleblower Karen Silkwood. The successful
defense of Emelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the Philippines,
(01:11):
the acquittal of Randy Weaver on the most serious charges
after the Ruby Ridge standoff, fifty two million dollar judgment
against MacDonald's, a twenty six million dollar libel award for
miss Wyoming against Penthouse Magazine.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Most famously on Larry King live perennially as a OJ
Simpson commentator.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's when it was really rose to my level of Yeah,
of Earth, let him on my radar.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
So do you want your double jeopardy question? It's double
your damn.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Right viral moments for twelve hundred viral Candice Payne was
all over TV news in twenty sixteen after going live
on Facebook wearing a mask of this a Star Wars
character that was the Chewbacca right, Yes, remember that she
(02:01):
just laughed at herself.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So one of those moments of pure joy. That's right,
you can not laugh at it. Yeah, anyway, it was
worth a beautiful smile. Well, the red carpet is literally
laid out a joint bas Elmendorf in Anchorage, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We'll talk the beginning. Yeah, you're right, this summit. Look
at that red carpet on the tarmac. That's where we
start swamp watch. I'm a politician, which means I'm a
cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
are dune.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
The other side never quits. I'm not going anywhere, so
train the squaw. I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by what has been you know, have always
been gone. A're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're all gunnon only swamp watches brought you by the
Good feed Store. If you have plantar feshis, or ankle
pain or knee pain, you need to go check out
the Good feat Store.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, what will happen? Will this be a productive meeting?
Will there be give and take between Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin? Will there be a ceasefire arranged that the
fighting between Russia and Ukraine will cease without any sort
of further land grabbing from Russia? Or will this be
a five minute in and out no one gets their
(03:26):
way situation or will it be a little bit of both.
I'm kind of leaning towards much ado about nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You think this is going to end quickly?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know when everyone started lowering the expectations this week
of it. Let's just pump the brakes and the whole
ceasefire thing. I mean, this is what Trump kind of
one of the things he campaigned on if I'm elected,
This thing will be over yesterday essentially, is what he
said from this fight between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
He thought he had a way of words with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Vladimir Putin will routinely tell Trump, Okay, I'll give you
what you want. I'll give you what you want, and
then he turns around and he uses his missiles the
way he wants. So, even if there is an agreement
ironed out today, there's no guarantee Vladimir Putin sticks to
the planet.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And the threat of sanctions, which is what President Trump
has been threatening. Listen, if you don't follow through with
what you say you're going to do, then we will
levy level even more sanctions against you. Putin doesn't seem
to care. It's not his thing. He did say. President
Trump did on Air Force One today that a landswap
(04:37):
is something that they would talk about, but definitely not
something that he would agree to.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They'll be discussed, but I've got to let Ukraine make
that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision.
But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here
to get him at a table, and I think you
have two sides. Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all
of Ukraine. I wasn't president. He would right now be
taking all of Ukraine, but he's not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So right now, it's a beautiful day at Joint Base
Elmendorf in Anchorage, Alaska. You can see the mountains in
the distant kind of a hazy fog that's hiding some
of those mountains. You've got four military jets on the
tarmac the tarmac thirty five's just the noses kind of
in this shot. The shot in the In the foreground
(05:28):
there is the stage. It's a low stage. It is
a America blue the color of the stage. There are
two sets of mini staircases leading up to both sides
of the stage, and then the big block white letters
in front say Alaska twenty twenty five with the bright
red red carpet rolled out behind the stage.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
He loves, he loves the production. It is.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It is exactly that, it is exactly a production that
is going on. But I will say there is enough
room on that stage for two podiums should they decide
to have.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That kind of photo op.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Which would be wild to have the President of the
United States on the same ground as Vladimir Putin sharing
a microphone. You've got to believe sharing smiles at least
in one of those images that will surface is going
to be a big deal. When you look at Vladimir
Putin and what he is guilty of doing through the years,
to have him on the same stage as the American
(06:30):
president is a massive deal.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They apparently also flew in a couple of B two
bombers into the joint based Almendorf Richardson ahead of this summit.
B two's significant because of their use obviously in bombing
Iran's nuclear facilities most recently, but also because it is
the big.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It is the big.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What would you say if this were a Wiener measuring contest?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
These are the two two big.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Ones that they're bringing in and laying on the tarmac
for for Putin to feast his eyes upon considered, that's
a visual a couple of the most dangerous weapons platforms
that not just the United States military has, but that any.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Military would have. Do you need a minute too little?
I know it's a it's a cool, you know, overcast
day in the anchorage, but it's hot in here.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, I'll let you. I'll let you get yourself
together there. Thank you, We come back.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You want to do more plan stuff? We could, Okay,
we could.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We could do the whole the whole f series if
you'd like.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am sixty. It's not for you. Don't run it right,
all right.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Less than twelve hours after the Trump administration replaced Washington,
DC's police chief of a federal officer, the district is
now headed to federal court to try to block that.
The Attorney General for d C, Brian Schwalb, filed a
lawsuit against the federal government today, claiming that President Trump
has exceeded the authority that was granted to him in
d c's Home Rule Act and the Constitution. The ag
(08:20):
is trying is trying to get a temporary restraining order
to block the US Attorney General's Pam Bondi's order that
named the head of the DEA as DC's emergency police
commissioner with all.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
The powers of the police chief. Milania Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We didn't get to this yesterday, but I wanted to
play this sound for you from yesterday. Malania Trump is
threatening to sue Hunter Biden. Have you seen that He
apparently said during aa an interview that he believes that
Jeffrey Epstein introduced Milania canals at the time to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I have heard that she is very upset with being
mentioned in the same breath. It would have sued and
it's a very big deal to her.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
The statements she said were false, defamatory, and extremely solicious.
This was a lawyer's letter that was sent to Hunter Biden.
Biden's remarks were disseminated on social media, reported by media
outlets around the world.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Caused the first Lady to quote.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm, which I don't know
if that's the case or not, but this is the way.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Well, she can't be a spokes model or put her
name on a brand if she's connected with child sex traffickers,
so that would hurt her financially and it would hurt
her image.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
This was the way it was it was handled on
this interview. Now again, I still don't understand who the
guy is that's interviewing Hunter Biden and why Hunter Biden
continues to sit down for these interviews. He's not helping
himself or his family's reputation in any way. Enormous time together,
according to his biographer, is that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Milania.
(10:05):
That's how Malania and the first Lady and the President met.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Really Epstein made the intro.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, according to Michael Wolf, I've.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Got a billion dollar document in my hands because Missus
Trump is seeking one billion dollars in damages. If we
don't take the video down and if Hunter here doesn't
issue a formal apology to Missus Trump, O.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Fact, that's not going to happen. He said that he
loves to use the F word.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, who is still running to him for interviews? There's
clearly still going through something.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
He's still on the You know, I wouldn't even say that.
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
He doesn't sound California, Sobernavin. I mean he's just he
just seems like he's back, that he never really left
the train. That is addiction to whatever substances he was favoring.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But here's the thing, at least you know who that
guy is. He doesn't bother me as much as Gas
does because I know who Hunter Biden is.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Uh. That Okay, that's an interesting way to put it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I believe his fight with Trump more honestly, Like I
hear him with vitriol towards Trump and and what Trump
has done to his father.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What the you know in him defending his.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Dad and all that, and it's like, Wow, at least
you'd kind of know who that guy is. Yeah, he's
got his demons that he's still wrestling with, but it's
a real person, very flawed.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
The other story that came out of they came out
of Burbank this week, actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez arrested.
If I'm not mistaken, at the Islands restaurant that's just
down the street over there. He allegedly found with drugs
in his car. He was arrested after officers searched the vehicle.
They apparently found xanax as well as what they suspect
(11:52):
was fentanyl. He denied he caught at the islands.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
He was just he was just leaving the islands.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
That's a good last meal. You get a Hula berger
in you, you know, I get some of those French.
Those French Fries are good.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Denied that the drugs were his. They apparently there was
a woman that was with him. He was arrested a
few months ago for a very similar traffic stop that
turned into a drugs investigation. So I don't know if
that's I don't know if that's a sign for things
going south for him or he's he's been with somebody
who's not having a good time. Air Force one has
(12:27):
landed there at Joint Base Almendorf in Anchorage, the the
Giant seven forty seven has landed there and it's behind
the four five.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's this is such a penis, such a product, a project,
a production, a penis thing. I think I hit it
right the first time. So I don't know when Vladimir
that shot right there. God gotta put her on the table.
Let everybody take It's all on the table.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So again, the conference itself, this summit that's supposed to
take place between President Trump and Vladimir Putin is supposed
to start what is about an hour from now, and
then we'll see how long it lasts. President Trump had
said he'd be okay walking away from it if things
don't go well, but he also did say that if
things do go well, he expects to have a two
(13:23):
podium news conference where he and Putin would get up
there and explain to the world what they had talked about.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Next though, hybrid dog, are you gonna bark like one? Oh,
that's what it sounds like. Yeah, it's slow. If you
slow it way down, that's what it sounds like. Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Gary and Shannon will continue. Michael Monks, aren't you glad
you're filling in for Debora today?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
And he's a country fan.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
President Trump has arrived in Alaska. Air Force one there
has pulled up to the well. The stairs have pulled
up to Air Force one at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson
there in Anchorage. This is where this big summit is
taking place between President Trump and Putin and we will
we'll see if the President says anything once he gets
(16:36):
out of out of Air Force one in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Whenever that's going to take place. Oh, it's going to
be such a what do you think he's going to
be wearing a suit again?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Dark blue red tie. Yeah, I would go a long
red tie with a bit of a sheen to it. Yes,
you don't go, Matt, you go Sheen. Right, he's always sheen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He's always sheen. And it's a Trump branded tie. It's
a Trump branded tie. The pants.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Does he have a suit line? Have a suit line?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh? Trump suits?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, I don't. That would be kind of ghost maybe
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I do know.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's a custom made suit for sure. Well, of course,
I mean, come on, a Czechoslovakian wolfhound tell me more.
Alessio Kamata needed to find a new dog after his
beloved German beloved German shepherd died of a genetic defect
(17:37):
several years ago. Kamata is a soft spoken construction worker
from a town on the hillside that overlooks Venice. And
he went online looking for a heartier pet, and he
found a Czechoslovakian wolfhound. He got a puppy, a female
uma he bought for eight hundred euros, and on a
sunny day, standing outside a twelve foot tall chain link
(17:59):
enclosure he built to contain his five dogs. That might
be too many, he laughs at how unprepared he was.
He said, people don't do this at home.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Czechoslovakian wolf dogs are a controversial breed. You see, they
were bred as a war dog for the military. They
combine the DNA of a German shepherd and a Eurasian wolf,
a gray wolf subspecies.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Just one of many varieties today of these wolf dog
hybrids that are increasingly marketed as pets.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They are not pets.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They've got weights that rival Great Danes, personalities sometimes more
wolf than dog, and they can be demanding, sometimes to
the point of killing you.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, there's a difference between a pet and a working animal,
and these are working animals, and if they don't have
work to do, they will eat you out of I
don't know if it's anger because they're mad because you
didn't give them a job to do, yeah, or it's
just they're bored out of their minds and chewing on
your flesh is more is a way to kill the time.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If they're bred to be bloodthirsty, you need to feed
that thirst, and if you're not feeding it with a job,
they're going to feed on you.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Reputable breeders keep the percentage of wolf DNA and a
Checkoslovakian wolf dog somewhere at about thirty percent, just enough
that it has the look of a wolf and some
of that personality, but the other seventy percent of the
dog's genetics make it more amenable to domestication. In Italy,
(19:43):
for example, each new litter of a Czechoslovakian wolf dog
has to have their DNA sampled and their parentage entered
into a national database.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Wolf Dogs can only.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Be kept as pets if they have been interbred in
cap activity for at least four generations.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Wow, is that what happened with your family? Freaking monster
generational breeding.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Monsters, and then you were quarantined for four generations and
now you're a peaceful people.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
There is a joke that goes around my family that
somewhere there is a connection in the family trees between
my mom's family and my dad's family. Yeah, you can
see it just by looking at me.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
That.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
In North America, wolf dogs can be very easily purchased.
According to the operations manager at Yamnuska Wolf Dog Sanctuary
up in Alberta, Canada, tens of thousands of wolf dogs
live in captivity in North America, far more than actual wolves,
and as of right now, that sanctuary up in Alberta
(20:51):
has fifty six wolf dogs that have had to be
rescued from former owners and breeders wolf dog business. Others
in the wolf dog business say owners are drawn to
the breeds for the size and ferocious reputation, and are
often taken with the idea of domesticating something powerful and
wild and free. But the bond is with an animal
(21:12):
that will never be your pet might pretend to be
your friend again until they eat your face off. Around
two to three years old is usually when the sanctuary
would get a call about an out of controlled wolf dog.
Twice a week we get calls from people hoping we
can rescue their animals. We have to turn down thousands
(21:35):
of dogs. Most wolf dogs are actually instinctually very shy,
timid animals in captivity. Their wild nature, though, can make
them dangerous as pets.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Sergey Lavrov has shown up in Russia wearing a USSR
track suit.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh is this the cccph Yeah now?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Suton has regularly called the breaking I just wear too
fancy meeting.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
They're very into USSR nostalgia these days. Putin has routinely
called the breakup of the Soviet Union the greatest political
catastrophe of the twentieth century. Their longing for the past
has been frequently linked to the full scale invasion of
Ukraine and the ensuing war, So Lavrov showing up for
(22:27):
this with USSR propaganda is kind of already preemptively making
a mockery out of this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Well, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Marco Rubio is going to be wearing a nineteen eighty
four Olympics.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
In nineteen eighty l eighty four when they didn't come
to La but nineteen eighty would be we boycotted theirs. No,
the miracle on ice her Brooks down with the Russians,
the amateur Americans?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Do you believe in miracles?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yes, we're going to tell you all about K pop

Jerry Spence. You remember him now.

He just got always, always wore the suede jacket with

Speaker 2 (02:34):
The other side never quits. I'm not going anywhere, so
train the squaw. I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by what has been you know, have always
been gone. A're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're all gunnon only swamp watches brought you by the
Good feed Store. If you have plantar feshis, or ankle
pain or knee pain, you need to go check out
the Good feat Store.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, what will happen? Will this be a productive meeting?
Will there be give and take between Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin? Will there be a ceasefire arranged that the
fighting between Russia and Ukraine will cease without any sort
of further land grabbing from Russia? Or will this be
a five minute in and out no one gets their
(03:26):
way situation or will it be a little bit of both.
I'm kind of leaning towards much ado about nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You think this is going to end quickly?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know when everyone started lowering the expectations this week
of it. Let's just pump the brakes and the whole
ceasefire thing. I mean, this is what Trump kind of
one of the things he campaigned on if I'm elected,
This thing will be over yesterday essentially, is what he
said from this fight between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
He thought he had a way of words with Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Vladimir Putin will routinely tell Trump, Okay, I'll give you
what you want. I'll give you what you want, and
then he turns around and he uses his missiles the
way he wants. So, even if there is an agreement
ironed out today, there's no guarantee Vladimir Putin sticks to
the planet.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And the threat of sanctions, which is what President Trump
has been threatening. Listen, if you don't follow through with
what you say you're going to do, then we will
levy level even more sanctions against you. Putin doesn't seem
to care. It's not his thing. He did say. President
Trump did on Air Force One today that a landswap
(04:37):
is something that they would talk about, but definitely not
something that he would agree to.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
They'll be discussed, but I've got to let Ukraine make
that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision.
But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here
to get him at a table, and I think you
have two sides. Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all
of Ukraine. I wasn't president. He would right now be
taking all of Ukraine, but he's not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So right now, it's a beautiful day at Joint Base
Elmendorf in Anchorage, Alaska. You can see the mountains in
the distant kind of a hazy fog that's hiding some
of those mountains. You've got four military jets on the
tarmac the tarmac thirty five's just the noses kind of
in this shot. The shot in the In the foreground
(05:28):
there is the stage. It's a low stage. It is
a America blue the color of the stage. There are
two sets of mini staircases leading up to both sides
of the stage, and then the big block white letters
in front say Alaska twenty twenty five with the bright
red red carpet rolled out behind the stage.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
He loves, he loves the production. It is.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It is exactly that, it is exactly a production that
is going on. But I will say there is enough
room on that stage for two podiums should they decide
to have.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That kind of photo op.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Which would be wild to have the President of the
United States on the same ground as Vladimir Putin sharing
a microphone. You've got to believe sharing smiles at least
in one of those images that will surface is going
to be a big deal. When you look at Vladimir
Putin and what he is guilty of doing through the years,
to have him on the same stage as the American
(06:30):
president is a massive deal.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They apparently also flew in a couple of B two
bombers into the joint based Almendorf Richardson ahead of this summit.
B two's significant because of their use obviously in bombing
Iran's nuclear facilities most recently, but also because it is
the big.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It is the big.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
What would you say if this were a Wiener measuring contest?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
These are the two two big.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Ones that they're bringing in and laying on the tarmac
for for Putin to feast his eyes upon considered, that's
a visual a couple of the most dangerous weapons platforms
that not just the United States military has, but that any.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Military would have. Do you need a minute too little?
I know it's a it's a cool, you know, overcast
day in the anchorage, but it's hot in here.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, I'll let you. I'll let you get yourself
together there. Thank you, We come back.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You want to do more plan stuff? We could, Okay,
we could.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
We could do the whole the whole f series if
you'd like.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am sixty. It's not for you. Don't run it right,
all right.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Less than twelve hours after the Trump administration replaced Washington,
DC's police chief of a federal officer, the district is
now headed to federal court to try to block that.
The Attorney General for d C, Brian Schwalb, filed a
lawsuit against the federal government today, claiming that President Trump
has exceeded the authority that was granted to him in
d c's Home Rule Act and the Constitution. The ag
(08:20):
is trying is trying to get a temporary restraining order
to block the US Attorney General's Pam Bondi's order that
named the head of the DEA as DC's emergency police
commissioner with all.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
The powers of the police chief. Milania Trump.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We didn't get to this yesterday, but I wanted to
play this sound for you from yesterday. Malania Trump is
threatening to sue Hunter Biden. Have you seen that He
apparently said during aa an interview that he believes that
Jeffrey Epstein introduced Milania canals at the time to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I have heard that she is very upset with being
mentioned in the same breath. It would have sued and
it's a very big deal to her.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
The statements she said were false, defamatory, and extremely solicious.
This was a lawyer's letter that was sent to Hunter Biden.
Biden's remarks were disseminated on social media, reported by media
outlets around the world.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Caused the first Lady to quote.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm, which I don't know
if that's the case or not, but this is the way.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Well, she can't be a spokes model or put her
name on a brand if she's connected with child sex traffickers,
so that would hurt her financially and it would hurt
her image.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
This was the way it was it was handled on
this interview. Now again, I still don't understand who the
guy is that's interviewing Hunter Biden and why Hunter Biden
continues to sit down for these interviews. He's not helping
himself or his family's reputation in any way. Enormous time together,
according to his biographer, is that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Milania.
(10:05):
That's how Malania and the first Lady and the President met.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Really Epstein made the intro.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, according to Michael Wolf, I've.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Got a billion dollar document in my hands because Missus
Trump is seeking one billion dollars in damages. If we
don't take the video down and if Hunter here doesn't
issue a formal apology to Missus Trump, O.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Fact, that's not going to happen. He said that he
loves to use the F word.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, who is still running to him for interviews? There's
clearly still going through something.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
He's still on the You know, I wouldn't even say that.
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
He doesn't sound California, Sobernavin. I mean he's just he
just seems like he's back, that he never really left
the train. That is addiction to whatever substances he was favoring.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But here's the thing, at least you know who that
guy is. He doesn't bother me as much as Gas
does because I know who Hunter Biden is.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Uh. That Okay, that's an interesting way to put it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I believe his fight with Trump more honestly, Like I
hear him with vitriol towards Trump and and what Trump
has done to his father.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What the you know in him defending his.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Dad and all that, and it's like, Wow, at least
you'd kind of know who that guy is. Yeah, he's
got his demons that he's still wrestling with, but it's
a real person, very flawed.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
The other story that came out of they came out
of Burbank this week, actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez arrested.
If I'm not mistaken, at the Islands restaurant that's just
down the street over there. He allegedly found with drugs
in his car. He was arrested after officers searched the vehicle.
They apparently found xanax as well as what they suspect
(11:52):
was fentanyl. He denied he caught at the islands.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
He was just he was just leaving the islands.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
That's a good last meal. You get a Hula berger
in you, you know, I get some of those French.
Those French Fries are good.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Denied that the drugs were his. They apparently there was
a woman that was with him. He was arrested a
few months ago for a very similar traffic stop that
turned into a drugs investigation. So I don't know if
that's I don't know if that's a sign for things
going south for him or he's he's been with somebody
who's not having a good time. Air Force one has
(12:27):
landed there at Joint Base Almendorf in Anchorage, the the
Giant seven forty seven has landed there and it's behind
the four five.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's this is such a penis, such a product, a project,
a production, a penis thing. I think I hit it
right the first time. So I don't know when Vladimir
that shot right there. God gotta put her on the table.
Let everybody take It's all on the table.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So again, the conference itself, this summit that's supposed to
take place between President Trump and Vladimir Putin is supposed
to start what is about an hour from now, and
then we'll see how long it lasts. President Trump had
said he'd be okay walking away from it if things
don't go well, but he also did say that if
things do go well, he expects to have a two
(13:23):
podium news conference where he and Putin would get up
there and explain to the world what they had talked about.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Next though, hybrid dog, are you gonna bark like one? Oh,
that's what it sounds like. Yeah, it's slow. If you
slow it way down, that's what it sounds like. Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Gary and Shannon will continue. Michael Monks, aren't you glad
you're filling in for Debora today?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I have never been happier about anything in my life.
I'm not hard to believe. Take it away.

the easy access. My mind was even immediately went to underwear.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Okay, shoulder and all will be in the restaurant and
brue house on the beach on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Are you going to dance for the people? Is that
what you're teasing.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
If I had moves like Michael Monks just displayed, I
would do it in a heartbeatin Oh, I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I just don't know. If I have that play it again.
I want to see if he Let's see if he

I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm
as good once as I ever was.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And he's a country fan.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
President Trump has arrived in Alaska. Air Force one there
has pulled up to the well. The stairs have pulled
up to Air Force one at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson
there in Anchorage. This is where this big summit is
taking place between President Trump and Putin and we will
we'll see if the President says anything once he gets
(16:36):
out of out of Air Force one in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Whenever that's going to take place. Oh, it's going to
be such a what do you think he's going to
be wearing a suit again?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Dark blue red tie. Yeah, I would go a long
red tie with a bit of a sheen to it. Yes,
you don't go, Matt, you go Sheen. Right, he's always sheen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He's always sheen. And it's a Trump branded tie. It's
a Trump branded tie. The pants.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Does he have a suit line? Have a suit line?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh? Trump suits?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, I don't. That would be kind of ghost maybe
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I do know.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's a custom made suit for sure. Well, of course,
I mean, come on, a Czechoslovakian wolfhound tell me more.
Alessio Kamata needed to find a new dog after his
beloved German beloved German shepherd died of a genetic defect
(17:37):
several years ago. Kamata is a soft spoken construction worker
from a town on the hillside that overlooks Venice. And
he went online looking for a heartier pet, and he
found a Czechoslovakian wolfhound. He got a puppy, a female
uma he bought for eight hundred euros, and on a
sunny day, standing outside a twelve foot tall chain link
(17:59):
enclosure he built to contain his five dogs. That might
be too many, he laughs at how unprepared he was.
He said, people don't do this at home.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Czechoslovakian wolf dogs are a controversial breed. You see, they
were bred as a war dog for the military. They
combine the DNA of a German shepherd and a Eurasian wolf,
a gray wolf subspecies.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Just one of many varieties today of these wolf dog
hybrids that are increasingly marketed as pets.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
They are not pets.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They've got weights that rival Great Danes, personalities sometimes more
wolf than dog, and they can be demanding, sometimes to
the point of killing you.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, there's a difference between a pet and a working animal,
and these are working animals, and if they don't have
work to do, they will eat you out of I
don't know if it's anger because they're mad because you
didn't give them a job to do, yeah, or it's
just they're bored out of their minds and chewing on
your flesh is more is a way to kill the time.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If they're bred to be bloodthirsty, you need to feed
that thirst, and if you're not feeding it with a job,
they're going to feed on you.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Reputable breeders keep the percentage of wolf DNA and a
Checkoslovakian wolf dog somewhere at about thirty percent, just enough
that it has the look of a wolf and some
of that personality, but the other seventy percent of the
dog's genetics make it more amenable to domestication. In Italy,
(19:43):
for example, each new litter of a Czechoslovakian wolf dog
has to have their DNA sampled and their parentage entered
into a national database.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Wolf Dogs can only.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Be kept as pets if they have been interbred in
cap activity for at least four generations.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Wow, is that what happened with your family? Freaking monster
generational breeding.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Monsters, and then you were quarantined for four generations and
now you're a peaceful people.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
There is a joke that goes around my family that
somewhere there is a connection in the family trees between
my mom's family and my dad's family. Yeah, you can
see it just by looking at me.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
That.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
In North America, wolf dogs can be very easily purchased.
According to the operations manager at Yamnuska Wolf Dog Sanctuary
up in Alberta, Canada, tens of thousands of wolf dogs
live in captivity in North America, far more than actual wolves,
and as of right now, that sanctuary up in Alberta
(20:51):
has fifty six wolf dogs that have had to be
rescued from former owners and breeders wolf dog business. Others
in the wolf dog business say owners are drawn to
the breeds for the size and ferocious reputation, and are
often taken with the idea of domesticating something powerful and
wild and free. But the bond is with an animal
(21:12):
that will never be your pet might pretend to be
your friend again until they eat your face off. Around
two to three years old is usually when the sanctuary
would get a call about an out of controlled wolf dog.
Twice a week we get calls from people hoping we
can rescue their animals. We have to turn down thousands
(21:35):
of dogs. Most wolf dogs are actually instinctually very shy,
timid animals in captivity. Their wild nature, though, can make
them dangerous as pets.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Sergey Lavrov has shown up in Russia wearing a USSR
track suit.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh is this the cccph Yeah now?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Suton has regularly called the breaking I just wear too
fancy meeting.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
They're very into USSR nostalgia these days. Putin has routinely
called the breakup of the Soviet Union the greatest political
catastrophe of the twentieth century. Their longing for the past
has been frequently linked to the full scale invasion of
Ukraine and the ensuing war, So Lavrov showing up for
(22:27):
this with USSR propaganda is kind of already preemptively making
a mockery out of this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Well, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Marco Rubio is going to be wearing a nineteen eighty
four Olympics.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
In nineteen eighty l eighty four when they didn't come
to La but nineteen eighty would be we boycotted theirs. No,
the miracle on ice her Brooks down with the Russians,
the amateur Americans?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Do you believe in miracles?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yes, we're going to tell you all about K pop
Demon Hunter. Hey, old person, you don't know this show,
but you will when we come back.
