00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.919
This is Gary and Shannon and you're
listening to kf I AM six forty,

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.759
the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Ready for your

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:18.800
gas alert. Oh sure, it
has just become a blow it up Tuesday.

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.640
Damn. Okay, that's right,
because the world's rarest whale has washed

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:36.280
up in New Zealand. It's a
sixteen foot carcass. It is the near

6
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:44.439
mythical spade toothed twhaleh Is it a
real thing? Yes, it's a real

7
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.960
thing. I said near mythical,
not mythical. Well, they say they're

8
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.320
still trying to confirm that it is
in fact that spade tooth whale, and

9
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.799
if so, it would be the
first chance for scientists to cut up or

10
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:06.120
blow up a spade tooth whale as
it rains down on the town's children.

11
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:14.239
The spade toothed whales are the most
poorly known large mammillion species of modern times.

12
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.719
It's bittersweet that it wasn't alive and
we couldn't study it in it's a

13
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.359
live state. But the next best
is a fresh sample like this. It's

14
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.400
an odd way to put it.
The spade toothed whale was first documented in

15
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.560
eighteen seventy four from lower jaw and
teeth samples collected on Pitt Island, about

16
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:38.079
five hundred miles off of New Zealand's
west coast. The first intact specimen came

17
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.480
from a mother in calf stranding in
Bay of Plenty. How funny is that

18
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.439
a couple of whales get stuck in
Bay of Plenty. I don't think funny

19
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.359
is the right word. Ironic.
If in fact this is a spade toothed

20
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:59.159
whale and it's dissected, they'll be
very interested in the details of the stomach

21
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.640
and the gastruin festinal track. They
talk about what they meant honestly that smell,

22
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.239
like what it was eating and all
that sort of thing, and then

23
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:14.039
they'll they'll blow it up. The
breaking news just before the top of the

24
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.919
hour, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez
has been found guilty of all sixteen counts

25
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.960
in his federal corruption trial. This
is where he was getting gold bars and

26
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:29.639
cash and dinners and cars and things
like that from Egyptian nationals. It was

27
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.639
a nine week trial where prosecutors laid
out their case that he abused the power

28
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.159
of his office to protect allies from
criminal investigations in rich associates, including his

29
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:47.680
wife, helping Egypt access millions of
dollars in US military aid. He did

30
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.319
not testify publicly. He said he
was only doing his job. So we'll

31
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.280
watch the fallout on that. One
of the things that happened yesterday was that

32
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.159
President Biden sat down for an interview
with NBC. He's Lester Holt, and

33
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.800
you could argue that this did you
know it was along the same lines of

34
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.599
the interview with George Stephanopolos in that
I don't think it helped Joe Biden at

35
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.639
all. What's with you guys?
Come on, man? He went after

36
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:21.199
specifically the question or Lester Holt did
about Okay, let's tone down the rhetoric

37
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.199
a little bit. But just a
short time ago you said it's time to

38
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.560
put Trump in the bulls eye.
Well, let's talk about the conversation this

39
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.159
has started, and it's really about
language, what we say out loud,

40
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.360
and the consequences of those You called
your opponent an existential threat on a call

41
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.439
a week ago, you said it's
time to put Trump in the bullseye.

42
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:45.120
There's some dispute about the context,
but I think you appreciate crosshairs. I'm

43
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.120
talking about focus on Look, the
truth of the matter was I just to

44
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:54.360
say that you said cross The term
was focus on Trump's Yeah, the term

45
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.520
is bullseye. It was a mistake
to you. I didn't. I didn't

46
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.599
say cross bulls. I'm going to
focus on it, focus on what he's

47
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.560
doing. Okay, now, And
I understand the explanation. I get it.

48
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:13.240
But if you're going to suggest that
rhetoric is a problem, then just

49
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.519
say I'm part of the problem.
Just say I screwed up too, right.

50
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.480
But instead he pivoted and said,
yeah, but the other guy,

51
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.839
there's a whole range of things that
Look, I'm not the guy that said

52
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.040
that's a juvenile response. That's the
guy that except the outcome of the election.

53
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.480
I mean he could even he could
even I'd be satisfied with he if

54
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.399
he left it with I made a
mistake choosing that word. I meant,

55
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.600
we need to focus on him and
the deficiencies and this and the policy differences.

56
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.800
And I'm not even going to bring
up the things that he has said

57
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.839
because I don't want to fan this
flame anythore or he could say we're all

58
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.120
guilty of it. Maybe it started
with Trump and his name calling. Maybe

59
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.199
it continued with people like jd Vance
calling Trump America's hitler, and it continued

60
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.600
with me saying put him in the
bullseye, and we're all at fault and

61
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.839
we should all unify in improving and
cleaning up the political rhetoric in this country

62
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:09.399
that can be so dangerous. But
no, the whole like shifting a blame.

63
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:15.680
And maybe maybe that's Joe Biden ten
years ago is articulate enough. He's

64
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.800
he's always been a kind of a
verbal sniper is probably not the right word.

65
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.959
He's always been a guy who's willing
to throw it back at you.

66
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.720
Has Joe Biden, just like Donald
Trump, is different characteristics about how they

67
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.560
do it. But he's always he's
not one to back down from a name

68
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.720
calling context. No, but if
you're going to preach accountability and better rhetoric,

69
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.439
then you got to just own it. Be the first. Yeah,

70
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.879
be the first. Now, there
are two other things that he said in

71
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.120
this interview. I've never seen a
circumstance where your ride through certain royal areas

72
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.240
of the country, people have signs
there, big Trump signs with middle science

73
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.360
saying f Biden and the little kid
standing there putting up his middle finger.

74
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.759
I mean, that's the kind of
stuffed It is just inflammatory. It is

75
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.959
it's terrible to see. It's awful
on both sides across the board. But

76
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.800
I was gonna say, but the
other but you don't think people have said

77
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.720
awful things about Donald Trump. But
he's right in that there are no flags.

78
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.680
Democrats don't fly flags that say F
Trump in front of the homes.

79
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.800
They do giant baby balloons of Trump
wearing a diaper or something stupid like I

80
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.199
mean, not that I've seen.
I've only seen let the liberals cry,

81
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.959
you know, Trump. But it's
more about it's more about support for Trump

82
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.480
than it is F Joe Biden.
I do see F Joe Biden stuff,

83
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.199
especially in Orange County. Sure,
but you don't see F Trump. Democrats

84
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.079
don't do that. They're not going
to put a flag outside of their home

85
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.759
says F Trump. I totally disagree. Have you ever seen one? Absolutely?

86
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.800
I have not. Maybe I just
live in more conservative areas. Then

87
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.480
this was the way they ended the
interview, and this did nothing to help

88
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.639
Joe Biden. What happens if you
have another so like we saw during the

89
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:09.639
debate, what happened. What happens
you have another performance on that part on

90
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.639
that level. I don't plan to
have another for us. Oh my goodness,

91
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.240
that was the end, guys.
Yeah, that's it's not going to

92
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.399
get better. It's just going to
keep up degenerating. Unfortunately, if we

93
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.920
if we get to that point in
life, that's what happens secret Service when

94
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.040
we come back. Hey, why
can't people ever just say, you know

95
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.480
what, my bad up going to
the drum board. You know, I'm

96
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.720
resigned, sorry about that. I
see like that always to my wife.

97
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.240
You know my bad you know you
gotta do that. Anyways, That's just

98
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.519
what I had to say. I
hope you guys have a great show like

99
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.480
always. You guys are the best. Well, it goes a long way

100
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.319
to say I fed up. Yes, although I don't know what he's doing

101
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.480
with his wife. But rarely are
there instances where someone probably died and someone

102
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.399
did die. Yeah, right,
I forget right. Eight years ago.

103
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.319
They didn't really do much four years
ago, obviously because of COVID, at

104
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.879
least not with audiences. I remember
going back to you know, we would

105
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.759
do our show in the morning from
the parking garage and then go back to

106
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.959
the event center that night and listen
to some of the speeches, and it

107
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.279
just got the impression that very few
people were paying attention eight years ago.

108
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.480
Maybe there's the delegates are on the
on the floor, they're chit chatting with

109
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.839
each other, they're shaking hands,
they're meeting people from other parts of the

110
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.080
country and everything. It seemed like
last night everybody was dialed in. Yeah,

111
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.480
And I don't know if it's the
I think it's the assassination thing.

112
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.679
I mean, that helps, that's
a hopeful way to put it, But

113
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.279
I think there is that. Do
you remember eight years ago when we were

114
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:52.000
in Cleveland and the anticipation to see
the Trump family and you know, Luca

115
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.559
came out and then Donald Trump Junior
or whatever the rotation was, and everyone

116
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.960
got real quiet because it was going
to be what is this what is this

117
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.000
family? What are we doing?
You know, are they politically minded?

118
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.799
We get to see them make these
formal remarks for the first time, and

119
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:16.120
it was there was a lot of
fascination around them. The did you see

120
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.919
any of the speeches from last night? The amber what's her name, Amber

121
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.919
Rose? Amber Rose? I did
not see that. So this is a

122
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.679
one time what would you say she
wasn't married to Kanye? Was she listen?

123
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.120
I am not your pop culture maven. She has all google it though.

124
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.159
She's famous for showing a lot of
her party party parts, her body

125
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.399
parts. Well, depending on which
only fans page I suppose you subscribe to

126
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.399
my My point is she was in
the music video for put On That's How

127
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:56.120
They Met, which featured Kanye.
Let's see here. Her spouse is Whiz

128
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.440
Khalifa. At one time they divorced. That's who she he was married to

129
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.240
was whisk A Leaf. Okay,
now she has You're on talk show,

130
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320
She's got a talk show, she's
got a podcast she likes to She's a

131
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.080
mom. And she actually talked about
last night in this four or five minute

132
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:20.679
speech whatever it was, that her
goal now is solely to have a place

133
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.440
that she can raise her kids,
a safe neighborhood, state, country,

134
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.159
where she can raise her kids and
give them something to live look forward to.

135
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.240
She's beautiful, and she said he, being Donald Trump, is the

136
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.120
only person that could do that.
That was one of the speeches that kind

137
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.240
of caught people by surprise. Also, the president of the Teamsters union,

138
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.440
when's the last time you heard the
Teamsters union, breaking ranks with the Democratic

139
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:54.360
Party and endorsing a Republican on any
level, in any position is shocking.

140
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.519
That was shocking. And it wasn't
like a Sean I remember his name,

141
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.519
Sean something was he was. He
was adamant about what he was talking about

142
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.159
last night in one of the longer
speeches that they gave. And again a

143
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:16.639
lot of times the speeches at conventions
are just riff raff. They're just you

144
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.440
know, people who have been chosen
because they look nice or because they and

145
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.919
these were stories from people that caught
a lot of attention. So that was

146
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.440
I just happened to see some of
it when I was flipping back and forth.

147
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.639
Amber Rose does sell pictures on OnlyFans. She wanted to start earlier but

148
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.600
was delayed because of pregnancy. You
don't hear that all the time, do

149
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:45.919
you? No? No, we
don't, Okay. The other story that's

150
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:50.559
breaking right now is that New Jersey
Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty on

151
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:58.120
all sixteen counts in his federal corruption
trial. Twelve member jury found him guilty

152
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.360
on all sixteen counts after this two
month ty while on charges that are probably

153
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.919
going to end his political career.
The prosecutors accused him of bribery, acting

154
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.440
as a foreign agent for the country
of Egypt, obstruction of justice, historiation,

155
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.279
not conspiring to commit those crimes.
Remember this was that home search where

156
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.080
the FBI found all those gold bars, the stacks of one hundreds Mercedes Benz

157
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.279
in the garage, all of gifts
from Egypt in exchange for our United States

158
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:37.559
funding of these various power players in
Egypt. He is still currently seeking reelection

159
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.600
to the Senate. He's running as
an independent because no Democrat wants to have

160
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.440
anything to do with him, and
he's already faced calls to resign from his

161
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.279
former friends in the Democratic Party in
New Jersey and on Capitol Hill, and

162
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.200
in fact, Chuck Schumer, the
Senate majority leader, has now called on

163
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:00.360
Menendez to resign from the Senate in
light of this guilty verdict or these guilty

164
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.519
verdicts, and he'll be sentenced.
I believe, I thought I saw that

165
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.799
it was Octobers when he would be
SENTI he's been indicted twice. In twenty

166
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.360
fifteen, he was charged with letting
a wealthy Florida eye doctor by his influence

167
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:20.600
through luxury vacations a jury could not
reach an unanimous verdict in twenty seventeen,

168
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.120
so they dropped the case rather than
put him on trial again. After his

169
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.480
second indictment last summer, he claimed
he was being persecuted, saying some people

170
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.080
cannot accept that a first generation Latino
American from humble beginnings could rise to be

171
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.159
a US senator. How dare you
well? And remember that was his excuse

172
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.360
for having hundreds of thousands of dollars
of cash on hand at his house and

173
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.799
the gold bars, saying, well, that's how I grew up. You

174
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.200
had to hoard cash and put it
in aluminum foil in the freezer, so

175
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.960
nobody knew that. Everybody does that? Really, what I mean not the

176
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:00.919
freezer part. Which cash you have
at your house? Like twenty five bucks

177
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.879
in a foil in the freezer somewhere
twenty five But it's all single though,

178
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.600
so it looks like a good stack. Oh dare you insinuate that I am

179
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.159
working? Working? Stripper? Artistic
is what you are? You're not a

180
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.720
stripper artistic dancer. I like that. It's nice. The bruises, you

181
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.679
know, it's just character. I
don't have any bruises currently. I rest

182
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.000
my case Bob Menendez. Senator Bob
Menendez found guilty of all the counts and

183
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.360
his bribery trial. He will be
sentenced October twenty ninth, faces decades in

184
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.240
prison. Actually, let's start there. Evan Lambert, Washington, correspondent for

185
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.240
News Nation is joining us Alive from
DC, and Evan, let's start with

186
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.440
the Bob and Endez story really quickly. Just that it came down maybe twenty

187
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.200
minutes ago or so. He's not
going to last in the Senate. They've

188
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.399
already been calling for him to resign
right well, really, as soon as

189
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.960
the news dropped that he had been
convicted of all charges, you immediately saw

190
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.440
a statement that appear to really have
been ready from a Senate majority leader,

191
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.159
Chuck Schumer, who called on Senator
Menendez to resign. So that is obviously

192
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.639
a big signal of where Democrats are
him being the leader of Democrats in the

193
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:22.080
Senate. But before now, the
Senator, Senator Menendez has said that he

194
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.159
intends to stay in the race.
He's running for re election. I think

195
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.639
many people will look at this conviction
on all accounts for bribery, acting as

196
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.000
a foreign agent for the country of
Egypt, and other felony charges as something

197
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:43.639
that would likely doom his re election
bid if he doesn't choose to resign.

198
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.080
Now, what's the mechanism for getting
rid of him? And what does that

199
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:54.720
district look like in his absence?
Well, I mean the Senate and also

200
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.679
the House can hold members accountable.
I believe it's two thirds. If two

201
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.840
thirds of each chamber agree, So
in this case the Senate, than they

202
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.360
can expel a member. It's something
that is exceedingly rare, I believe fifteen

203
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.879
times or so throughout history. This
may be the first time that a sitting

204
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.080
Senator, or at least in recent
history, has been convicted of charge these

205
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.840
kinds of charges while serving in the
Senate. So that would be the mechanism

206
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:25.120
if he didn't choose to resign.
As far as who his replacement could be,

207
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.960
you already have running against him,
a congressman from New Jersey out of

208
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.519
that same area. The name has
given me right now, but Andy Kim

209
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.720
and so he is already running and
likely has pretty good chances given the outcome

210
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.440
of this nine week trial. Well, that's all just developing here in the

211
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:53.000
last couple of minutes. We expect
on Monday that the House Government Oversight Committee

212
00:16:53.039 --> 00:17:00.480
is going to hear from the US
Secret Service Director kim Cheatle. That's going

213
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.880
to be all eyes are going to
be on that hearing on Monday morning.

214
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.839
Oh absolutely. And I'm actually still
on the ground in the suburbs of Pittsburgh

215
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.759
right now, not too far.
We're really just in front of the shooter's

216
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.880
home, as we have been for
the last few days since Sunday or early

217
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:25.599
Sunday morning, once we found out
who the shooter was according to authorities.

218
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:33.640
And yes, this is now obviously
in the spotlight and the obvious security failures

219
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:38.400
of the Secret Service, who are
ultimately in charge of protecting protecting presidents and

220
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:45.200
events exactly like this. We expect
that the Secret Service Director Kimberly Chetle will

221
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:51.960
be at that hearing the House Oversight
Committee that is on Monday. There's also

222
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.480
expected to be a public hearing of
the House Homeland Security Committee the next day

223
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.359
on Tuesday that is expected to food
Cheetle and then also the directors of the

224
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.880
FBI and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis. So we'll be hearing from all those

225
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:14.599
leaders with impertinent questions about how any
of this happened. When it comes to

226
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.640
the planning. I mean, the
biggest question obviously being how this shooter was

227
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:25.160
able to scale the building, which
had a slope proof and gave him that

228
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:30.960
straight sight line to former President Trump, allowing him to shoot off those rounds

229
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:36.160
and strike the former president and members
of the crowd, obviously killing another member

230
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.759
a spectator at that rally. And
we've learned really just over the last several

231
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.519
hours. The Secret Service director,
in an interview with ABC News, said

232
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:49.960
that that building from which the shooter
fired his weapon actually had local law enforcement

233
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.480
officers inside of the building at the
time of the shooting. They were assigned

234
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.160
to protect that building, according to
the Secret Service, but ultimately the Secret

235
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:07.160
Service director said the buck stops with
her in that interview with ABC that all

236
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.880
the Secret Service is responsible, fully
responsible for the protection of presidents. It's

237
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:18.000
wild that there were agents or officers
inside and nobody stationed on the roof.

238
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.200
More than a dozen guns found at
the family home, that's not something out

239
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.200
of the realm in that part of
the country. And then we also heard

240
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:32.200
that police went to that home after
the dad called police saying he was worried

241
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.559
because his son and his ar rifle
were missing. Do we know the timeline

242
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:42.759
of when that phone call was made. I don't have confirmation of that reporting.

243
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.599
The timeline is something that the FBI
is still working to build. There

244
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:55.400
have been some reporting that the ATF
was able to basically provide key information to

245
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:02.759
identify the shooter within thirty minutes after
officers Secret Service counter snipers shot and killed

246
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.079
him. He apparently didn't have any
identification on him at the time, but

247
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.480
they were able to get the serial
number from the rifle, and it immediately

248
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.960
came back to his father and they
started going through family members, found a

249
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.799
picture of the shooter and compared it
to the shooter there at the scene after

250
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.599
he was deceased, and were able
to identify him within thirty minutes. That's

251
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.160
some of the latest reporting that's out
there on at least the timeline of how

252
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.039
quickly they were able to identify this
individual when he didn't have identification on him.

253
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.799
Evan Lambert, News Nation, thanks
so much for your reporting, appreciate

254
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.000
it. Thank you for having me
you Bett. The former president also met

255
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:52.000
yesterday with Robert F. Kennedy Junior
to discuss the possibility of him endorsing Trump.

256
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.000
According to many people familiar with this
thing. Kennedy has said it wasn't

257
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.519
that he denied that he had any
plans to drop out of the race.

258
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.640
There was actually a video that leaked
that showed him on the phone with the

259
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.920
president, with the former president.
I think he was emarrassed. I think

260
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:14.119
that was leaked on purpose, well, he said, I think it was

261
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.640
Kennedy. Believe anybody that that leaked
it, but without his dad's permission.

262
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.359
I don't know how it went exactly. Kennedy took to Twitter and suggested that

263
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.599
it was not what he wanted and
he was embarrassed that the It was just

264
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:32.160
their phone conversation. It wasn't anything
spectacular or anything. Doug Bergham may serve

265
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:37.359
in Trump's cabinet if he does win. In November, Burgham told CNN Trump

266
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.880
referred to him as mister secretary when
he called to tell him he would not

267
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.119
be his running mate. That's a
nice way to smooth things over. Thanks

268
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.599
for all the footwork, the leg
work you've done and being a surrogate.

269
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.079
You're not the guy, but thank
you, mister secretary. You're a guy.

270
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:59.400
Yeah. Tornadoes and straight line wins
rock Chicago last night. National Weather

271
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.759
Service said there may have been as
many as ten tornadoes that touched down around

272
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.880
Chicago during the evening. At least
one person was killed. Residents woke up

273
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.440
today a bunch of power routages caused
by the severe storm, commed cruise and

274
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:17.359
emergency management teams working to clear the
roadways and residential areas. Too big All

275
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:22.480
Star Game tonight in Arlington, Texas. The Dodgers have seven players representing in

276
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.119
La Phillies are sending the most with
eight. How many do the Giants have?

277
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:34.920
Three? Better than none? I
think it's three pirates. Paul Sken's

278
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.839
going to start for the National League
and the Orioles Corbyn Burns will start for

279
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:45.640
the American League. All right,
We've got a police chief apprentice happening in

280
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:51.720
Los Angeles. The searchs for the
chief started when we found out that former

281
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.160
chief Michael Moore was going to step
down back in February, and Dominic Choi

282
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.960
took over, but he said he
didn't want the job officially or didn't want

283
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.319
the job permanently. So Moore has
stayed on as a consultant in the search

284
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.799
for the next chief, and a
couple of different reports have suggested that that

285
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:15.400
list is now down to about ten
names. One of the big names is

286
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.720
former La County Sheriff Jim McDonald.
Yeah, he, I guess was I

287
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.640
shouldn't say, I guess because I
knew him when he was an assistant chief

288
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:29.039
with the LPD, the sheriff.
As you mentioned, his name has been

289
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.519
circulated around LPD headquarters in city Hall
for months as one of the possible candidates.

290
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.960
You can't. I mean, when
the job opens up and you've got

291
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.759
somebody with that kind of experience in
your backyard, of course his name is

292
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.880
going to be on the list.
The problem, or the thing I think

293
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.960
that they're going to shy away from, is the majority of people that are

294
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:57.079
on the list are people of color. The pool of contenders is generally more

295
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:03.480
diverse and generally less experience in the
recent past, which means he is not

296
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.119
necessarily what you would say diversity is, and he's got a lot more experience

297
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.319
than a lot of the people on
this list. I loved covering Bill Bratton

298
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:17.720
and Jim McDonald. There were cops, they were cops, and they just

299
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.079
wanted to do the job, and
he could just do the job. I

300
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:29.039
have breaking sad news. We've talked. I don't think so Okay, we've

301
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.640
talked about how everybody is widely panned
the national anthem at the home run Derby,

302
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.519
sung by Ingrid Andres. She now
is apologized and said she was drunk.

303
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.440
She says she's checking herself into a
facility today to get the help she

304
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:48.200
needs. She said that was not
me last night. I apologize what Yeah,

305
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.119
I apologize to MLB all the fans
in this country. I love so

306
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.519
much for that rendition. And it
does sound she sounds like she's slurring her

307
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:03.519
way through it. She just had, Uh, what's the song that she

308
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.759
does with boy I'm going to get
this wishful drinking with Sam Hunt. Yes,

309
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:15.359
great song, but that's clearly what
it was. Well, that takes

310
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.759
a lot of the like the fun
humor out of it. It does.

311
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.960
That's why I xnate on the song
a But good for her. Good for

312
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.480
her. I mean that sucks that
it had to get to that low point,

313
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.559
but good for her that she was
in such a public fac I mean,

314
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.559
it would be one thing if she
was doing the national anthem for the

315
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.559
the Kodak Yeah bumblebees or something like
that. But it's funny because not a

316
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.039
lot of people had eyes on the
home run derby until that kind of surfaced

317
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:51.279
and exploded on social media, and
again everybody came together in America to agree

318
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.839
it was a horrific. Some people
even said it was worse than Roseanne Barr.

319
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.000
I don't agree with that. Well, Roseanne Barr was doing it.

320
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.559
It was disgusting. It sounded like
Ingrid was trying. Yeah, that was

321
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.839
very sad. Before anybody, let's
hear it again. Checks me on that.

322
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.880
By the way, it's not the
Kodak Bumblebees, it's the it's the

323
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:18.119
Tennessee Smokies play in Kodak. Do
you really want to hear it? I'm

324
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.319
kind of curious now because we didn't
really know what was going on. Okay,

325
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.400
Well, you know how you get
when you have a couple pops and

326
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:29.160
you start singing. I have never
ever tried to sing the national anthem either.

327
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:41.119
I would never attempt. But she's
gotten so oh my gosh, this

328
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.839
is that's heartbreaking. It is heartbreaking. It's bad. But good thing.

329
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:52.680
Good thing, she's getting help.
That's good. Oh man, did I

330
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.400
just take something nice away from you? No, it's not even that it

331
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.799
was nice because I also felt bad
about saying like, oh that was an

332
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:02.480
awful I know I felt about it
too. Nobody, none of us could

333
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.039
do it now, none of us
could stand up there in front of that.

334
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.119
K could do it. Keanu's gifted
and we're not. And that's clear.

335
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:17.200
But that sounds that's awful. That's
uh well, I'll follow her anyway.

336
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.359
Now, I'm sad now that that
sucks. You Are you gonna?

337
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.359
Are you gonna recover? I feel
like I feel like I have? Is

338
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:32.400
this ruining the world tour? You've
