More rain is headed for L.A. as a new storm rolls in Thursday, and Orange County police warn drivers about crafty new tactics thieves are using to steal cars. With Pastathon right around the corner, Chris checks in on all the latest updates. Plus, national politics heat up as reports surface of Trump calling a woman “quiet, piggy” during an Epstein-related question—prompting Governor Gavin Newsom to fire back with a barrage of AI-generated memes. And in election news, a Texas court ruling tossing out the state’s 2026 map for racial gerrymandering could put added pressure on states like California that have pursued aggressive mid-decade redistricting.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You came back.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, okay, I got up early this morning.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I was just telling Richie I got up early this morning.
I wanted to get a jump start on the day.
And uh, I get really sleepy. Yeah, they're sleepy about
this time. So we're gonna power through. And Richie said

(00:51):
how to infectious?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Why do we yo? Sleepy? Richie in here?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Unbelievable? Oh late, I was looking at some of the
rain totals that we had. Did you see all the
I can't believe how much rain fell down in some place,
record setting four and five inches at a time. So
Pulvita Canyon Ballholland got five inches, Goora five point seventy
three over the last five days. I mean, obviously the
(01:23):
mountains always get you know, they get more. Crystal Lake
got almost eight inches of rain. Baby, holy cow. That
is that's a Midwestern rain total.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
That's what that I lived. I've lived in the Midwest
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
In fact, most of my life I've been either in
most Midwest states. I lived to seven years in Kansas
and that I've done accumulatively a quarter century in Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's where I grew up. So I kind of cheated
through the first you know, eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And that the rain totals we're talking about here, that
the kind of stuff that would get in the Midwest
during during the spring, you know, tornado season kind of thing.
So this is impressive. Pacoima Dam six inches of rain,
Holy cow. Man, man, Let me see where else else.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Got a bunch.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Even the desert Palmdale Water District in the desert got
one point seven almost two inches of rain.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
In the desert. Wow, holy cow. I can't believe some
of these rainforms we're talking like eleven inches, especially mountains
in Ventura counting twelve point eighty seven inches in someplat Wow,
that's a lot. No wonder we have all these mudslides.
(02:42):
There's too much rain coming down.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You can't take you can't take Kansas rain and throw
it in California and not expect.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
To have problems.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Atmospheric river. That's a term.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, that's the word everybody uses.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's awesome. It is a kind of a cool term.
But it's not as cool as polar vortex.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
True for text that has such a like powerful.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Doesn't that meant though? Shouldn't it be like polar Fortex right?
Like that? Shouldn't it be bigger polar vortex Fortex. That's
very good, see, and that's how it should be. That's
how it should be. So I was amazed by that.
And then there's more coming. I was looking at the
forecast today and it looks like it's.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Gonna rain like hell all day on Thursday, which could
be like another what like one inch across kind of
the the well, they say, La, and and one or
two inches possible in the mountain, which you know, on
top of another eight or ten or twelve inches already,
Like god, it's crazy. And now fortunately we have some
(03:46):
people that are also reading the forecast and they're preparing
for it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Katy La was talking about the prep for it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Works crews shoveling away the sandy debris that trickled downhill
in Alta Dina after around one of.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The most significant storm of the season. It was a
lot more rain than expected.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Lee James Oliver. Do you know that lady. She's got
an English accent?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I know she's your cousin.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
It's a lot more rain than expected.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah. I could see you guys hanging out for some
fish and chips or something. That's good.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Lee James just returned to her home ten months after
the January fire. Now she has to contend with the
possibility of mudflow anytime there's a burst of wet weather.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Be pretty lucky because usually to run down is stereo
side of the street.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
What did she just say? A can you translate your
cousin for us here? Could? I couldn't? All right, I's
try against too thick an accent? All right?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Be pretty lucky because usually the run down is stereo
side of the street.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, could you could you identify like what part of
the UK she came from?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
London? That's very London, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The rum down east side of.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
The Be pretty lucky because usually to run down is
stereo side of the street.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think she said the rundown is the other side
of the street, the run down east side of the street.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's a good question.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Be pretty lucky because usually if they rundown is the
other side of the.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Street, usually the rundown is the other side of this.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Is he wins, that's very good. What do I win? Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You get to translate, You get to continue to translate.
Otherwise we're gonna have to call in somebody else.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
But you did it, you nailed it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
But living in a burnscar it's always a little bit garisome.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I think we did. We get that one. I was listening.
Now listen, I'm cheating. I have headphones on. I'm listening
very closely.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
But the living in a burnscar, it's always a little.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Bit garisome, living in a burns car. It's always a
little bit worrisome.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Okay, A correct all right, thank you see judges. Very good.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
The City of Pasadena says the sandbags and k rails
are staying put and have been effective in combating the
more major slides that plagued the burn scar in February.
The Eton catch Basin and other storm outlets have been
cleaned and cleared.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I was just thinking as she said something about.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Sandbags, sandbags and k rails.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Or some sandbags and k rails sounds like the nickname
that Trump would give female reporters.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Some of the hills in Malibu gave ways.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, come on, he shot and not a cheap shot.
You'll hear why I say it's coming up. Hold on,
before you start adding me?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Is that what you say, ritchie?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Do I say before you start adding me, before you
before you at me? Okay, great, all right, I just
went seven thirty. He's got some new nicknames, and we're
going to crack out the nicknames.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Some of the hills in Malibu gave way, sending boulders
crashing onto Malibu Canyon Road, damaging several cars. Some unlucky
drivers were left with flat tires from the sharp rocks.
A second slide was reported near Cold Canyon Roads south
of Mullholland. Now the forecast turns to Thursday with more
pop up showers and isolated storms Forecasted. County is urging
(07:00):
people to avoid swimming in the ocean, especially near storm
drains where runoff carries a lot of bacteria.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, noth bit worse than going out with the family
for a little afternoon swim and running across a baby routh.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Matthew Thomas is from the United States Geological Survey.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
The susceptibility post fire debrief flows really tracks with.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Areas that are very steep and were severely burned. Yeah,
well that makes sense right.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
He specializes in post fire debrif flow in the San
Gabriel Mountains.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
How does one get a specialty like that?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He specializes in post fire debris flow into San Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Mountain Is that what she said?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
He specializes in post fire debris flow in the San
Gabriel Mountains.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That's an oddly specific specialty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I think it would have a lot to do with
hydro dynamics.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Look, hi, I am surrounded by the smartest people in radio.
I have a professional translator in Ali. I've got a
professional couples thererapist slash geologist in Sam.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
You guys are amazing, Wow, he said slides.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I've got a professional gen Z terminologist and Richie he
translates gen Z for me.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
You guys are amazing, Roner. What do you even bring
to the table.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was just looking for an opening for a cheap
joke that had grind everything right to all.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
He says, slides can happen quickly and suddenly, and that's
why the advanced prep is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So there's virtually no lag time between you know, sufficiently
intense rainfall and the debris flow and flooding.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
And so what that means is if folks want to
protect themselves and their families, they need to be aware
of the hazard before the rainfall starts. Yeah, smart, I'm
glad we've got people ahead of it. Yay. I have
to tell you, not everybody thinks that far ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like in Florida, they have hurricanes, right, and every time
they get a hurricane forecast, they run out and they
buy plywood and they start nailing up their windows. And
I can't help but to think, what happened to the
last plywood you had? If you're in Florida, don't you
hang on to that plywood for the next one. But
it's like they go, oh Man home depots out of plywood.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Now what am I gonna do?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well? I guess I just hope that it doesn't break
all my windows and.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Spread glass all.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Over the living room floor and on my dog. I
don't understand why they don't save that. You would think
that everyone in Florida would have like a plywood storage
shed out back, but they don't. Hey remember the good
old days when boosting a car used to take skill
and dile The kids these days are getting lazy and
they're letting the computers do all the work.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
How to steal a car is next. I'm Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
In the old days, if you were going to gang
a vehicle, you had to you had to go into
the cover of darkness, which they still do. But then
you had either figure out how to pick the lock,
or you had to know how to find the car
that was unlocked, and then you had to know how
to get the car to start so you could take
off with it, which pre nineteen nink seventy two or
(10:13):
something like that, you could hot wire it anytime. By
the way, you see somebody hot wire a car in
the movies today, that's crap. You can't hot wire a
car now. It's you can't just pull wires from under
the dash and do that.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But in many vehicles you could take a screwdriver and
slam that into the the the column on the vehicle,
you know, it had where they put the key, and
then you could you could basically break that system and
then you could turn it using a screwdriver.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
That's the old days.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Nowadays all the cars have, yeah, they've got all kinds
of anti theft going on in them.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They've become digitized and the.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Computer will read the key or the key fob and
then it'll basically keep your car safe until, of course,
the criminals figure out how to do it better, which
is what's happening in Orange County right now.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
CBSLA was talking about it.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Watch the man in a hoodie walking up to the
front door of his home.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I can't, it's radio. Can't. Watch the guy in hoodie with.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
What appears to be a wire held above his head.
Then a Ford f one fifty Shelby Raptor is gone.
This is a picture of it before it was stolen
from in front of the owner's Anaheim Hills home.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ford f one fifty Shelby Raptor. It's a big word
for fancy off road f one fifty Okay, big pickup
truck with all the fancy triments on it.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
She asked us, and not to share her identity.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Scary, galling, all of the words you can describe.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Did she say galling? I don't think i've heard anybody.
I don't think i've heard an eyewitness used the word
galling in a long time. That's really good. And she's
not even English. No, that's such an English thing.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Scary, galling, all of the words you can subscribe.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
From camera, you can see the suspect with that wire,
along with an accomplice outside the victim's home.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Is this a growing trend?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It seems to be the current trend right now.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
On how to steal cars.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Anaheim Police Sergeant Matt Sutter says the key fobs on
many newer cars send out a constant signal. He believes
the wire the suspect is holding is like an antenna.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
They stand outside your house.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, I didn't think there were pretending to be aliens.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Collect the signal, send it to their partner in crime,
who's standing next to your car, unlocks the door with
that signal, gets in, starts the car and drives away.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Store your key fob in a bag like these sold
online to block the signal.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Wait, and now I have to put my key fob
in a Faraday bag?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
What a pain? Or don't leave your fob near the
front door.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What if we just had like a Faraday fish bowl
because I always throw my keys in a little plate
or a little bowl when I come in.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
What if it? What if that just did the job,
Sutter says Crook. Ooh, there's your million dollar idea. There
you go. It's a fair day Kifa bowl. Right inside
the doors.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Are also breaking into cars and using computer tablets that
are meant for locksmith's.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
Plug this tablet into the computer system of your car,
reprogram it, pushed art and drive away.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Eh, it's a different world.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
You know. I used to date someone who stole cars before.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
No, this is the jobs.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
Yeah, it was a very interesting She was my kind
of freak obviously, but yeah, bless you.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah no, she stopped stealing cars years before that happened.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
But she get caught.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah yeah, she got caught for it.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
But she also I like, this was a person who's
like X broke into the house once when she when
he saw that I was there, and crazy accosted me.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
But yeah, I won that battle.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I had a boy nice job on that. That was.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That was an interesting time in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
How did she do it? Did she? I mean, because
it's not it's not easy to steal a car.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I mean, these guys, these are tech wizzes that if
they actually put their genius to use, could probably make
some money in the bay.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But you know they're not.
Speaker 11 (14:07):
I never bothered to ask how she got it done,
and I wasn't there with her to visualize exactly how
it happened. But yeah, she was like, I got like
at least ten fifteen cars, and I was like, Wow,
that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I'm glad you stopped.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Ten or fifteen. What'd she do with them? Did she
run them to Mexico and.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Chop them chop shop somewhere?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't know, Wow, Holy cow.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But yeah, I tend to find interesting dating. Yeah, it's
kind of interesting with me.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
I think that's why I'm so good at like giving
dating advice and marriage counseling, because I've seen.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
A lot I guess so. And non judgmental. Yeah, no,
I'm at very much non judgmental.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah, God bless you for it. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
See, Sam's not only the smartest guy, he's also crime adjacent.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Did you and the girlfriend Christen, any of the stolen cars.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
No, no, she stopped selling stealing cars. So, like you're before,
if you had found out.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
That she was still doing it while you were dating,
would would that have been like a deal breaker or
what you would you?
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Would that have been a turn on?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I know me, that probably would have been a turn on.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Okay, I appreciate your honesty.
Speaker 11 (15:13):

Speaker 2 (16:57):
That just happened live on Air Force One on a
new sum is now capitalizing political theater at its worst
in the press corps.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Caught in the front row. That is next time, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand and my.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Friends Chris Merrill on demand anytime in the iheartradiofits KFI
AM six forty more.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Stimulating talk. There was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
There's a bit of a a bit of a to
do on Air Force one over the weekend when the
President let his worst instincts come out and he decided
to start making up nicknames for.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Female reporters from Inside Edition.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
There's growing controversy today over the president's treatment of a
reporter a boarder Air Force one. Yep, he really did
call a female reporter piggy. She was peppering him with
uncomfortable questions about the Epstein files. Trump answered her first question, Jeff,
(18:05):
I had a relationship for many years.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, we kind of hard to hear, he said.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
She asked about the relationship with Epstein, He says, I
didn't have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I know the guy. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
When she tried to ask a follow up, he lashed out, quiet, quiet, piggy.
This photograph of the moment shows.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You can't see it because radio just how.
Speaker 12 (18:30):
Angry the president is, thrusting his finger right in the
reporter's face. She's Katherine Lucy from Bloomberg News. The president
is clearly not happy with all the attention the Epstein
scandal is getting. He lashed out again today at another
reporter for asking about Epstein. Mister President, why wait for
Congress to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Why not just do it now?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I think you are a terrible reporter.
Speaker 13 (18:52):
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
But still, why not just really.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I wow, Maybec doesn't have a license, but go on.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has
been an national embarrassment.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
Trump faced more criticisms today from a gathering of Epstein's
survivors on the steps of the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
This is not a hoax and we will not be erased.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, So they're going on about the Epstein stuff. We'll
talk more about that here after eight o'clock. But the
whole quiet piggy thing is catching some attention. A newsletter
from The Atlantic high leting the remark as part of
Trump's long standing pattern of insulting women journalists for asking
challenging questions. So what is one to do when the
(19:53):
leader of the free world decides to demean, chastise and
mock other people who are doing their jobs. Well, they
demean chastis and mocked the president himself. Gavin Newsom's press
uh press office posting AI generated images and memes depicting
Trump as a pig, referencing the quiet piggy phrase. So
(20:15):
Newsom is trying to leverage the AI visuals and the
social media and he's trying to uh capture the moment.
So now we've got meme wre going on. Is there
is there ever a chance that we return to a
state when decorum means something? Will there be that time?
(20:40):
Now I understand why Newsom is doing it. He's the
political adversary. He's uh, he's he's uh. He's basically challenging
the bully on the on the playground in the same way,
speaking the same language as the bully on the play
I get that, right, I get that. Here's my concern
about Newsom. If this is effective, which we know it
(21:00):
gets under Trump's skin. But if this is effective, is
this what his campaign is going to be? He's running
for president. I think we all know that, right, is it?
Do anybody think he's not.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, he can't. Newsom can't run for president. Oh I
thought you were talking about Trump. No.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
No, Well, first of all, Trump he won't run for president.
He'll just try to take it. But if Newsom runs
for president, which I think we all believe he's going to,
and I think that was his plan for the last
ten years. I think he's had this plan. I'm going
to be a governor of California and then I'm going
to be I'm going to run for president. So when
he ran, and of course he gets out of office
(21:35):
in twenty six and that gives him two years to
ramp up his presidential campaign. Like the time he worked
out just right for him to be able.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
To do this. So Newsom's going to run for president.
Is this what Newsom's campaign is going to be?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I would like to think not, but I'm concerned because
if this is effective, does that mean that his his
his campaign?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I don't know what you call staffers.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I guess his members in chief are going to be
using this sort of.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Foolishness to attack jd Vance.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Well, don't you get the impression that he's specifically responding
in kind to Trump?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I do, right now. I do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm concerned though, that we're just lowering the bar. So,
I mean, it remains to be seen, but I don't
think that my concern is necessarily unfounded. We're seeing it happen,
and likewise, I'm concerned that Jade Vance is going to
try to pick up the mantle from Trump and continue
with this same sort of name calling, childishness and sort
of a stream of consciousness thinking like, oh, we're going
(22:36):
to take Greenland and Canada is going to be our
fifty first state, and the piggies and ABC and we're
going to take their license away and Seth Myers needs
to be fired. And I mean, is there going to
be a time in the future where our politicians think.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Before they speak.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And I know it's a lot to ask because politicians
are not really generally.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Very good at that.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
But it's sort of like when I see when I
see sports coaches wearing hoodies on the sideline, and I'm
gonna sound old fashion I'm gonna sound like a fuddy
duddy here. And I know, I know that the rules
with the NFL is now that they have to they
have to wear logo gear on the sideline, blah blah blah.
I get that, but there's just something about there's something
(23:17):
there's a difference between wearing logo gear on the sidelines
like we see from the Rams head coach, you will
wear slacks and a polo with the gear, versus what
we saw from Bill Belichick when he was in New
England wearing the frumpiest looking sweatshirt hoodie you could find.
And I'm I'm a little bit concerned that we're seeing
like we're just we're sort of accepting a lower bar.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Now, well, who could forget what time in World War
Two when Winston Churchill called a journalist a dirty cow.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, he was big on that, right,
And then I was trying to think back historically. Wasn't
a JFK who famously said, shut your hole, you obese whale,
get back in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I believe you said that.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
I think it was manate because he called a woman
a man.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Case said shot your whole, U obese manatee, get back
in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Make me a damage. Wasn't that right? It sounds right?
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Yeah, I'll have to look it up just to do
a fact check.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And then I also, and a lot of people don't
know this, but after his teeth fell out, he had
wooden teeth.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
George Washington was a real bear.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
In fact, I understand he called Betsy Ross that yappy
old cow to everyone that was around him.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Well, she probably brought it on, let's just be fair.
He's probably her fault. You're right.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Probably probably asked how many you know, how many bars
do you want on the flag?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
And he was like, shut your mouth. You a yappy
old cow like.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Georgia powdered wigs on crooked. Can I fix it? You
get away from me? You know, yappy old cow?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey, you know that moment when a political plan looks
like it's gonna be air tight, right up until the
federal court drops one hundred and sixty page Actually no,
on top of it. The fall out from a ruling
in Texas is stretching all the way here to the
West coast.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
It's next. I'm Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Hi, I gonna even I'm Chris Merril, KFI AM six
forty on demand anytime, the iHeartRadio app. I was just
taking a look at the work that Richie's put forth
for tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Amazing. God, I love working with Richie. This guy is
on it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Why it is that if you're under forty, you're screwed
and billionaires are taking over one city in California and
they don't want you visited. So that's that's on tomorrow's program.
Who Busy stuff, Busy stuff.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
There gang still to come on this show.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
We're gonna get to Mark's eight o'clock news, and then
we'll get the latest in the Epstein files, including a
twist that you probably have yet to anticipate. You're gonna
want to watch out for it. There is a federal
court in Texas, though they now blocked their newly redrawn
congressional map. This was breaking news earlier today, But today
has been a fair to say, a busy news day.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Mark had a lot of stuff going on. One or two. Yes,
we found out that Okay Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, and then we found out that uh Mohammed bin
Salman is actually a great guy when it comes to
human rights. And as far as the whole beheading of
Jamalkas Shogi, things happen. So that's the kind of news
that was happening today. But there was a there was.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
A lot of this too.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I talk good for a living, and that is that
a federal court said that Texas and their map redistricting
is unconstitutional.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
This is from CBS Texas.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
It is the redistricting Showdown.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
The plan put forth by Texas Republican lawmakers to change
the state's congressional districts from what.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You see here can't see it radio to this radio.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
Has now officially been put on hold by a court. Today,
a panel of three federal judges ruled that the state
of Texas cannot use the new map apps. And now
lawmakers and candidates are kind of left scrambling with midterm
elections obviously right around the corner.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What do we do from here?
Speaker 13 (27:07):
Is the question I on politics, Reporter Jack Fink, I
know you've been waiting weeks.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
For this ruling.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tell you what, tell us what you made.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
To suggest today?
Speaker 14 (27:14):
Well, Doug, yes, time they have certainly been key because
members of Congress, particularly the Democrats, have been waiting for
the judges to rule before they file their campaign paperwork.
They wanted to know which maps, the twenty twenty five
or the current maps from twenty twenty one would be
in place, and now they know.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Okay, so it's the twenty twenty one's.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
The current maps in place. And Democrats from North Texas
are certainly very happy with this one hundred and sixty
page ruling against the twenty twenty five maps that were
drawn and approved by Texas Republicans aimed at giving them
five extra congressional seats in Texas.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Now, that was when President Trump said, you need to
redraw the lines to give me more Republicans.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I don't want to lose the House. And so Texas said,
where on it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Pew, peo, peo, peo pew.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Everything they do is with six shooters. Peo peo, peo,
peo peop.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
So then, of course, as you know, California's response to
that was this Prop. Fifty, which passed by a pretty
wide margin. Now that's being challenged by the Department of Justice.
You paid for the election, and you're paying for the
Department of Justice to sue us over the election results,
and then you're paying for California to defend us ourselves
against the Department of Justice.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
So it's great, it's good to you some money.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
In the meantime, the maps that started the whole thing
in California have now been ruled unconstitutional. Now that's going
to be challenged, So that's gonna make its way up
probably to Supreme Court, and they're going to ask for
a stay on that so that the twenty twenty five
redrawn maps can be used next year until the Supreme
Court has a chance to hear the case. Hard to
say how that's going to play out. Time will tell.
(28:45):
What is fascinating about this is how.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
This could end up. It's gonna end up being.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Like, like, we look like the bullies, We look like
the ones who are messing with the maps. And it
will be used politically if if Texas is not allowed
to redraw their maps because they're considered to be racist,
and California is either because the courts approve the proposition fifty,
(29:12):
or because they they don't get to it in time,
because that'll drag out through all the different legal avenues.
All of a sudden, we look like the ones who
are jerrymandering in order to try to mess with Washington.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
And for what reason, right, that's the big one. For
what reason?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
However, this could also very quickly flip the other way.
Suppose that the DOJ lawsuit gets a similar result from
the appellate court or from the federal courts, and then
all of a sudden Prop fifty is put on hold
while we wait for the Supreme Court to hear that. Meanwhile,
the Supreme Court does here the one in Texas and
then says, actually, Texas, you're okay, everything's fine.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
We don't really like things anyway. Then all of a sudden,
our response to Texas is moot.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
But Texas still gets what they want. So it'll be
interesting to say how this plays out.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think that the Supreme Court is in a funny
spot because they've already ruled in other states that yeah,
you can jerrymander, We're not gonna worry about race so much.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
They already said that in other state.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I think North Carolina had that situation where they said, yeah,
it's totally okay. So I don't know that the appeals
court ruling is gonna hold, even though it was one
of Trump's appointed judges that wrote the one hundred and
sixty page opinion. I don't know that it's gonna hold
once against to the Supreme Court. But if Texas doesn't
(30:37):
hold when it gets to the Supreme Court, then how
does California's not hold when it gets to the Supreme Court.
So the same thing that Texas just got blocked for
is the same thing the DOJ issuing California for, and
that is basically not considering race and redrawing the maps
or giving the maps too much deference to one race
(30:57):
over another. The DJ is saying California redrew those maps
to give too much power to Latinos, and the federal
courts basically just said that the maps in Texas are
giving too much powered to whites, or you could say,
is not giving enough voice to other minorities. So I
don't know how you have one and not the other.
It's totally possible that we've all just wasted a ton
(31:21):
of money on not only our election, but all the
different lawyers in order to go back to right where
we were.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Six months ago entirely possible. That's how this plays out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You know that feeling when Congress swears they're going to
do something and then suddenly the people in charge start
slamming doors, they start stalling vosts, and they start pretending
like nothing's happening. Well, why today's Congressional news is not
the last word on Epstein is next? I'm Chris Merril
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Kfix on Demand
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You me Mark, Ollie, Richie Sam next three hours, I'm
Chris Merrill. I AM sixty more stimulating talk on demand
anytime the iHeartRadio app Pleasure.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
You came back.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, okay, I got up early this morning.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I was just telling Richie I got up early this morning.
I wanted to get a jump start on the day.
And uh, I get really sleepy. Yeah, they're sleepy about
this time. So we're gonna power through. And Richie said
that we're a team, we're in this together. Heck, yeah,
that's right. So we're listen to that enthusiasm. Listen to Richie.
Really boosts the energy in the room. Way to go, Richie,
Let's go. Oh listen, my god, with that kind of energy,
(00:51):
how to infectious?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Why do we yo? Sleepy? Richie in here?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Unbelievable? Oh late, I was looking at some of the
rain totals that we had. Did you see all the
I can't believe how much rain fell down in some place,
record setting four and five inches at a time. So
Pulvita Canyon Ballholland got five inches, Goora five point seventy
three over the last five days. I mean, obviously the
(01:23):
mountains always get you know, they get more. Crystal Lake
got almost eight inches of rain. Baby, holy cow. That
is that's a Midwestern rain total.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
That's what that I lived. I've lived in the Midwest
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
In fact, most of my life I've been either in
most Midwest states. I lived to seven years in Kansas
and that I've done accumulatively a quarter century in Michigan.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's where I grew up. So I kind of cheated
through the first you know, eighteen years.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And that the rain totals we're talking about here, that
the kind of stuff that would get in the Midwest
during during the spring, you know, tornado season kind of thing.
So this is impressive. Pacoima Dam six inches of rain,
Holy cow. Man, man, Let me see where else else.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Got a bunch.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Even the desert Palmdale Water District in the desert got
one point seven almost two inches of rain.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
In the desert. Wow, holy cow. I can't believe some
of these rainforms we're talking like eleven inches, especially mountains
in Ventura counting twelve point eighty seven inches in someplat Wow,
that's a lot. No wonder we have all these mudslides.
(02:42):
There's too much rain coming down.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You can't take you can't take Kansas rain and throw
it in California and not expect.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
To have problems.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Atmospheric river. That's a term.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, that's the word everybody uses.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's awesome. It is a kind of a cool term.
But it's not as cool as polar vortex.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
True for text that has such a like powerful.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Doesn't that meant though? Shouldn't it be like polar Fortex right?
Like that? Shouldn't it be bigger polar vortex Fortex. That's
very good, see, and that's how it should be. That's
how it should be. So I was amazed by that.
And then there's more coming. I was looking at the
forecast today and it looks like it's.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Gonna rain like hell all day on Thursday, which could
be like another what like one inch across kind of
the the well, they say, La, and and one or
two inches possible in the mountain, which you know, on
top of another eight or ten or twelve inches already,
Like god, it's crazy. And now fortunately we have some
(03:46):
people that are also reading the forecast and they're preparing
for it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Katy La was talking about the prep for it.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Works crews shoveling away the sandy debris that trickled downhill
in Alta Dina after around one of.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The most significant storm of the season. It was a
lot more rain than expected.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Lee James Oliver. Do you know that lady. She's got
an English accent?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I know she's your cousin.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
It's a lot more rain than expected.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah. I could see you guys hanging out for some
fish and chips or something. That's good.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Lee James just returned to her home ten months after
the January fire. Now she has to contend with the
possibility of mudflow anytime there's a burst of wet weather.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
Be pretty lucky because usually to run down is stereo
side of the street.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
What did she just say? A can you translate your
cousin for us here? Could? I couldn't? All right, I's
try against too thick an accent? All right?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Be pretty lucky because usually the run down is stereo
side of the street.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, could you could you identify like what part of
the UK she came from?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
London? That's very London, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The rum down east side of.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
The Be pretty lucky because usually to run down is
stereo side of the street.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think she said the rundown is the other side
of the street, the run down east side of the street.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's a good question.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Be pretty lucky because usually if they rundown is the
other side of the.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Street, usually the rundown is the other side of this.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Is he wins, that's very good. What do I win? Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You get to translate, You get to continue to translate.
Otherwise we're gonna have to call in somebody else.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
But you did it, you nailed it.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
But living in a burnscar it's always a little bit garisome.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I think we did. We get that one. I was listening.
Now listen, I'm cheating. I have headphones on. I'm listening
very closely.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
But the living in a burnscar, it's always a little.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Bit garisome, living in a burns car. It's always a
little bit worrisome.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Okay, A correct all right, thank you see judges. Very good.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
The City of Pasadena says the sandbags and k rails
are staying put and have been effective in combating the
more major slides that plagued the burn scar in February.
The Eton catch Basin and other storm outlets have been
cleaned and cleared.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I was just thinking as she said something about.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Sandbags, sandbags and k rails.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Or some sandbags and k rails sounds like the nickname
that Trump would give female reporters.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Some of the hills in Malibu gave ways.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, come on, he shot and not a cheap shot.
You'll hear why I say it's coming up. Hold on,
before you start adding me?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Is that what you say, ritchie?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Do I say before you start adding me, before you
before you at me? Okay, great, all right, I just
went seven thirty. He's got some new nicknames, and we're
going to crack out the nicknames.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Some of the hills in Malibu gave way, sending boulders
crashing onto Malibu Canyon Road, damaging several cars. Some unlucky
drivers were left with flat tires from the sharp rocks.
A second slide was reported near Cold Canyon Roads south
of Mullholland. Now the forecast turns to Thursday with more
pop up showers and isolated storms Forecasted. County is urging
(07:00):
people to avoid swimming in the ocean, especially near storm
drains where runoff carries a lot of bacteria.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, noth bit worse than going out with the family
for a little afternoon swim and running across a baby routh.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Matthew Thomas is from the United States Geological Survey.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
The susceptibility post fire debrief flows really tracks with.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Areas that are very steep and were severely burned. Yeah,
well that makes sense right.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
He specializes in post fire debrif flow in the San
Gabriel Mountains.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
How does one get a specialty like that?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
He specializes in post fire debris flow into San Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Mountain Is that what she said?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
He specializes in post fire debris flow in the San
Gabriel Mountains.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That's an oddly specific specialty.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I think it would have a lot to do with
hydro dynamics.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Look, hi, I am surrounded by the smartest people in radio.
I have a professional translator in Ali. I've got a
professional couples thererapist slash geologist in Sam.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
You guys are amazing, Wow, he said slides.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I've got a professional gen Z terminologist and Richie he
translates gen Z for me.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
You guys are amazing, Roner. What do you even bring
to the table.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was just looking for an opening for a cheap
joke that had grind everything right to all.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
He says, slides can happen quickly and suddenly, and that's
why the advanced prep is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So there's virtually no lag time between you know, sufficiently
intense rainfall and the debris flow and flooding.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
And so what that means is if folks want to
protect themselves and their families, they need to be aware
of the hazard before the rainfall starts. Yeah, smart, I'm
glad we've got people ahead of it. Yay. I have
to tell you, not everybody thinks that far ahead.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like in Florida, they have hurricanes, right, and every time
they get a hurricane forecast, they run out and they
buy plywood and they start nailing up their windows. And
I can't help but to think, what happened to the
last plywood you had? If you're in Florida, don't you
hang on to that plywood for the next one. But
it's like they go, oh Man home depots out of plywood.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Now what am I gonna do?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well? I guess I just hope that it doesn't break
all my windows and.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Spread glass all.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Over the living room floor and on my dog. I
don't understand why they don't save that. You would think
that everyone in Florida would have like a plywood storage
shed out back, but they don't. Hey remember the good
old days when boosting a car used to take skill
and dile The kids these days are getting lazy and
they're letting the computers do all the work.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
How to steal a car is next. I'm Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
In the old days, if you were going to gang
a vehicle, you had to you had to go into
the cover of darkness, which they still do. But then
you had either figure out how to pick the lock,
or you had to know how to find the car
that was unlocked, and then you had to know how
to get the car to start so you could take
off with it, which pre nineteen nink seventy two or
(10:13):
something like that, you could hot wire it anytime. By
the way, you see somebody hot wire a car in
the movies today, that's crap. You can't hot wire a
car now. It's you can't just pull wires from under
the dash and do that.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But in many vehicles you could take a screwdriver and
slam that into the the the column on the vehicle,
you know, it had where they put the key, and
then you could you could basically break that system and
then you could turn it using a screwdriver.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
That's the old days.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Nowadays all the cars have, yeah, they've got all kinds
of anti theft going on in them.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
They've become digitized and the.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Computer will read the key or the key fob and
then it'll basically keep your car safe until, of course,
the criminals figure out how to do it better, which
is what's happening in Orange County right now.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
CBSLA was talking about it.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Watch the man in a hoodie walking up to the
front door of his home.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I can't, it's radio. Can't. Watch the guy in hoodie with.
Speaker 9 (11:12):
What appears to be a wire held above his head.
Then a Ford f one fifty Shelby Raptor is gone.
This is a picture of it before it was stolen
from in front of the owner's Anaheim Hills home.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ford f one fifty Shelby Raptor. It's a big word
for fancy off road f one fifty Okay, big pickup
truck with all the fancy triments on it.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
She asked us, and not to share her identity.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Scary, galling, all of the words you can describe.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Did she say galling? I don't think i've heard anybody.
I don't think i've heard an eyewitness used the word
galling in a long time. That's really good. And she's
not even English. No, that's such an English thing.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Scary, galling, all of the words you can subscribe.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
From camera, you can see the suspect with that wire,
along with an accomplice outside the victim's home.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Is this a growing trend?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
It seems to be the current trend right now.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
On how to steal cars.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
Anaheim Police Sergeant Matt Sutter says the key fobs on
many newer cars send out a constant signal. He believes
the wire the suspect is holding is like an antenna.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
They stand outside your house.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Well, I didn't think there were pretending to be aliens.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
Collect the signal, send it to their partner in crime,
who's standing next to your car, unlocks the door with
that signal, gets in, starts the car and drives away.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Store your key fob in a bag like these sold
online to block the signal.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Wait, and now I have to put my key fob
in a Faraday bag?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
What a pain? Or don't leave your fob near the
front door.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What if we just had like a Faraday fish bowl
because I always throw my keys in a little plate
or a little bowl when I come in.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
What if it? What if that just did the job,
Sutter says Crook. Ooh, there's your million dollar idea. There
you go. It's a fair day Kifa bowl. Right inside
the doors.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Are also breaking into cars and using computer tablets that
are meant for locksmith's.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
Plug this tablet into the computer system of your car,
reprogram it, pushed art and drive away.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Eh, it's a different world.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
You know. I used to date someone who stole cars before.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
No, this is the jobs.
Speaker 11 (13:24):
Yeah, it was a very interesting She was my kind
of freak obviously, but yeah, bless you.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah no, she stopped stealing cars years before that happened.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
But she get caught.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah yeah, she got caught for it.
Speaker 11 (13:37):
But she also I like, this was a person who's
like X broke into the house once when she when
he saw that I was there, and crazy accosted me.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
But yeah, I won that battle.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
I had a boy nice job on that. That was.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That was an interesting time in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
How did she do it? Did she? I mean, because
it's not it's not easy to steal a car.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I mean, these guys, these are tech wizzes that if
they actually put their genius to use, could probably make
some money in the bay.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But you know they're not.
Speaker 11 (14:07):
I never bothered to ask how she got it done,
and I wasn't there with her to visualize exactly how
it happened. But yeah, she was like, I got like
at least ten fifteen cars, and I was like, Wow,
that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I'm glad you stopped.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Ten or fifteen. What'd she do with them? Did she
run them to Mexico and.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Chop them chop shop somewhere?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I don't know, Wow, Holy cow.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But yeah, I tend to find interesting dating. Yeah, it's
kind of interesting with me.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
I think that's why I'm so good at like giving
dating advice and marriage counseling, because I've seen.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
A lot I guess so. And non judgmental. Yeah, no,
I'm at very much non judgmental.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah, God bless you for it. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
See, Sam's not only the smartest guy, he's also crime adjacent.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Did you and the girlfriend Christen, any of the stolen cars.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
No, no, she stopped selling stealing cars. So, like you're before,
if you had found out.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
That she was still doing it while you were dating,
would would that have been like a deal breaker or
what you would you?
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Would that have been a turn on?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I know me, that probably would have been a turn on.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Okay, I appreciate your honesty.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Guano tends to get me aroused. Wow, Hey all clinical terms?

That just happened live on Air Force One on a
new sum is now capitalizing political theater at its worst
in the press corps.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Caught in the front row. That is next time, Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand and my.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Friends Chris Merrill on demand anytime in the iheartradiofits KFI
AM six forty more.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Stimulating talk. There was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
There's a bit of a a bit of a to
do on Air Force one over the weekend when the
President let his worst instincts come out and he decided
to start making up nicknames for.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Female reporters from Inside Edition.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
There's growing controversy today over the president's treatment of a
reporter a boarder Air Force one. Yep, he really did
call a female reporter piggy. She was peppering him with
uncomfortable questions about the Epstein files. Trump answered her first question, Jeff,
(18:05):
I had a relationship for many years.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, we kind of hard to hear, he said.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
She asked about the relationship with Epstein, He says, I
didn't have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I know the guy. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
When she tried to ask a follow up, he lashed out, quiet, quiet, piggy.
This photograph of the moment shows.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You can't see it because radio just how.
Speaker 12 (18:30):
Angry the president is, thrusting his finger right in the
reporter's face. She's Katherine Lucy from Bloomberg News. The president
is clearly not happy with all the attention the Epstein
scandal is getting. He lashed out again today at another
reporter for asking about Epstein. Mister President, why wait for
Congress to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Why not just do it now?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I think you are a terrible reporter.
Speaker 13 (18:52):
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
But still, why not just really.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What the Epstein is is a Democrat hoax.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I wow, Maybec doesn't have a license, but go on.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has
been an national embarrassment.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
Trump faced more criticisms today from a gathering of Epstein's
survivors on the steps of the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
This is not a hoax and we will not be erased.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, So they're going on about the Epstein stuff. We'll
talk more about that here after eight o'clock. But the
whole quiet piggy thing is catching some attention. A newsletter
from The Atlantic high leting the remark as part of
Trump's long standing pattern of insulting women journalists for asking
challenging questions. So what is one to do when the
(19:53):
leader of the free world decides to demean, chastise and
mock other people who are doing their jobs. Well, they
demean chastis and mocked the president himself. Gavin Newsom's press
uh press office posting AI generated images and memes depicting
Trump as a pig, referencing the quiet piggy phrase. So
(20:15):
Newsom is trying to leverage the AI visuals and the
social media and he's trying to uh capture the moment.
So now we've got meme wre going on. Is there
is there ever a chance that we return to a
state when decorum means something? Will there be that time?
(20:40):
Now I understand why Newsom is doing it. He's the
political adversary. He's uh, he's he's uh. He's basically challenging
the bully on the on the playground in the same way,
speaking the same language as the bully on the play
I get that, right, I get that. Here's my concern
about Newsom. If this is effective, which we know it
(21:00):
gets under Trump's skin. But if this is effective, is
this what his campaign is going to be? He's running
for president. I think we all know that, right, is it?
Do anybody think he's not.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, he can't. Newsom can't run for president. Oh I
thought you were talking about Trump. No.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
No, Well, first of all, Trump he won't run for president.
He'll just try to take it. But if Newsom runs
for president, which I think we all believe he's going to,
and I think that was his plan for the last
ten years. I think he's had this plan. I'm going
to be a governor of California and then I'm going
to be I'm going to run for president. So when
he ran, and of course he gets out of office
(21:35):
in twenty six and that gives him two years to
ramp up his presidential campaign. Like the time he worked
out just right for him to be able.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
To do this. So Newsom's going to run for president.
Is this what Newsom's campaign is going to be?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I would like to think not, but I'm concerned because
if this is effective, does that mean that his his
his campaign?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
I don't know what you call staffers.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I guess his members in chief are going to be
using this sort of.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Foolishness to attack jd Vance.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Well, don't you get the impression that he's specifically responding
in kind to Trump?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I do, right now. I do.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm concerned though, that we're just lowering the bar. So,
I mean, it remains to be seen, but I don't
think that my concern is necessarily unfounded. We're seeing it happen,
and likewise, I'm concerned that Jade Vance is going to
try to pick up the mantle from Trump and continue
with this same sort of name calling, childishness and sort
of a stream of consciousness thinking like, oh, we're going
(22:36):
to take Greenland and Canada is going to be our
fifty first state, and the piggies and ABC and we're
going to take their license away and Seth Myers needs
to be fired. And I mean, is there going to
be a time in the future where our politicians think.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Before they speak.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
And I know it's a lot to ask because politicians
are not really generally.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Very good at that.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
But it's sort of like when I see when I
see sports coaches wearing hoodies on the sideline, and I'm
gonna sound old fashion I'm gonna sound like a fuddy
duddy here. And I know, I know that the rules
with the NFL is now that they have to they
have to wear logo gear on the sideline, blah blah blah.
I get that, but there's just something about there's something
(23:17):
there's a difference between wearing logo gear on the sidelines
like we see from the Rams head coach, you will
wear slacks and a polo with the gear, versus what
we saw from Bill Belichick when he was in New
England wearing the frumpiest looking sweatshirt hoodie you could find.
And I'm I'm a little bit concerned that we're seeing
like we're just we're sort of accepting a lower bar.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
Now, well, who could forget what time in World War
Two when Winston Churchill called a journalist a dirty cow.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, he was big on that, right,
And then I was trying to think back historically. Wasn't
a JFK who famously said, shut your hole, you obese whale,
get back in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I believe you said that.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
I think it was manate because he called a woman
a man.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Case said shot your whole, U obese manatee, get back
in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Make me a damage. Wasn't that right? It sounds right?
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Yeah, I'll have to look it up just to do
a fact check.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And then I also, and a lot of people don't
know this, but after his teeth fell out, he had
wooden teeth.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
George Washington was a real bear.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
In fact, I understand he called Betsy Ross that yappy
old cow to everyone that was around him.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Well, she probably brought it on, let's just be fair.
He's probably her fault. You're right.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Probably probably asked how many you know, how many bars
do you want on the flag?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
And he was like, shut your mouth. You a yappy
old cow like.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Georgia powdered wigs on crooked. Can I fix it? You
get away from me? You know, yappy old cow?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey, you know that moment when a political plan looks
like it's gonna be air tight, right up until the
federal court drops one hundred and sixty page Actually no,
on top of it. The fall out from a ruling
in Texas is stretching all the way here to the
West coast.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
It's next. I'm Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Hi, I gonna even I'm Chris Merril, KFI AM six
forty on demand anytime, the iHeartRadio app. I was just
taking a look at the work that Richie's put forth
for tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Amazing. God, I love working with Richie. This guy is
on it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Why it is that if you're under forty, you're screwed
and billionaires are taking over one city in California and
they don't want you visited. So that's that's on tomorrow's program.
Who Busy stuff, Busy stuff.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
There gang still to come on this show.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
We're gonna get to Mark's eight o'clock news, and then
we'll get the latest in the Epstein files, including a
twist that you probably have yet to anticipate. You're gonna
want to watch out for it. There is a federal
court in Texas, though they now blocked their newly redrawn
congressional map. This was breaking news earlier today, But today
has been a fair to say, a busy news day.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Mark had a lot of stuff going on. One or two. Yes,
we found out that Okay Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, and then we found out that uh Mohammed bin
Salman is actually a great guy when it comes to
human rights. And as far as the whole beheading of
Jamalkas Shogi, things happen. So that's the kind of news
that was happening today. But there was a there was.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
A lot of this too.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I talk good for a living, and that is that
a federal court said that Texas and their map redistricting
is unconstitutional.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
This is from CBS Texas.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
It is the redistricting Showdown.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
The plan put forth by Texas Republican lawmakers to change
the state's congressional districts from what.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You see here can't see it radio to this radio.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
Has now officially been put on hold by a court. Today,
a panel of three federal judges ruled that the state
of Texas cannot use the new map apps. And now
lawmakers and candidates are kind of left scrambling with midterm
elections obviously right around the corner.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What do we do from here?
Speaker 13 (27:07):
Is the question I on politics, Reporter Jack Fink, I
know you've been waiting weeks.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
For this ruling.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tell you what, tell us what you made.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
To suggest today?
Speaker 14 (27:14):
Well, Doug, yes, time they have certainly been key because
members of Congress, particularly the Democrats, have been waiting for
the judges to rule before they file their campaign paperwork.
They wanted to know which maps, the twenty twenty five
or the current maps from twenty twenty one would be
in place, and now they know.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Okay, so it's the twenty twenty one's.
Speaker 14 (27:32):
The current maps in place. And Democrats from North Texas
are certainly very happy with this one hundred and sixty
page ruling against the twenty twenty five maps that were
drawn and approved by Texas Republicans aimed at giving them
five extra congressional seats in Texas.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Now, that was when President Trump said, you need to
redraw the lines to give me more Republicans.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I don't want to lose the House. And so Texas said,
where on it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Pew, peo, peo, peo pew.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Everything they do is with six shooters. Peo peo, peo,
peo peop.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
So then, of course, as you know, California's response to
that was this Prop. Fifty, which passed by a pretty
wide margin. Now that's being challenged by the Department of Justice.
You paid for the election, and you're paying for the
Department of Justice to sue us over the election results,
and then you're paying for California to defend us ourselves
against the Department of Justice.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
So it's great, it's good to you some money.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
In the meantime, the maps that started the whole thing
in California have now been ruled unconstitutional. Now that's going
to be challenged, So that's gonna make its way up
probably to Supreme Court, and they're going to ask for
a stay on that so that the twenty twenty five
redrawn maps can be used next year until the Supreme
Court has a chance to hear the case. Hard to
say how that's going to play out. Time will tell.
(28:45):
What is fascinating about this is how.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
This could end up. It's gonna end up being.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Like, like, we look like the bullies, We look like
the ones who are messing with the maps. And it
will be used politically if if Texas is not allowed
to redraw their maps because they're considered to be racist,
and California is either because the courts approve the proposition fifty,
(29:12):
or because they they don't get to it in time,
because that'll drag out through all the different legal avenues.
All of a sudden, we look like the ones who
are jerrymandering in order to try to mess with Washington.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
And for what reason, right, that's the big one. For
what reason?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
However, this could also very quickly flip the other way.
Suppose that the DOJ lawsuit gets a similar result from
the appellate court or from the federal courts, and then
all of a sudden Prop fifty is put on hold
while we wait for the Supreme Court to hear that. Meanwhile,
the Supreme Court does here the one in Texas and
then says, actually, Texas, you're okay, everything's fine.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
We don't really like things anyway. Then all of a sudden,
our response to Texas is moot.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
But Texas still gets what they want. So it'll be
interesting to say how this plays out.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think that the Supreme Court is in a funny
spot because they've already ruled in other states that yeah,
you can jerrymander, We're not gonna worry about race so much.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
They already said that in other state.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I think North Carolina had that situation where they said, yeah,
it's totally okay. So I don't know that the appeals
court ruling is gonna hold, even though it was one
of Trump's appointed judges that wrote the one hundred and
sixty page opinion. I don't know that it's gonna hold
once against to the Supreme Court. But if Texas doesn't
(30:37):
hold when it gets to the Supreme Court, then how
does California's not hold when it gets to the Supreme Court.
So the same thing that Texas just got blocked for
is the same thing the DOJ issuing California for, and
that is basically not considering race and redrawing the maps
or giving the maps too much deference to one race
(30:57):
over another. The DJ is saying California redrew those maps
to give too much power to Latinos, and the federal
courts basically just said that the maps in Texas are
giving too much powered to whites, or you could say,
is not giving enough voice to other minorities. So I
don't know how you have one and not the other.
It's totally possible that we've all just wasted a ton
(31:21):
of money on not only our election, but all the
different lawyers in order to go back to right where
we were.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Six months ago entirely possible. That's how this plays out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You know that feeling when Congress swears they're going to
do something and then suddenly the people in charge start
slamming doors, they start stalling vosts, and they start pretending
like nothing's happening. Well, why today's Congressional news is not
the last word on Epstein is next? I'm Chris Merril

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
