Speaker 2: several months, as a matter of fact, and the first
Speaker 2: one at twenty twenty five. We'll do the show live
Speaker 2: out there right on their patio. Beautiful patio. It's going
Speaker 2: to be incredible weather on Friday, so come on out

Speaker 2: they have an award winning pizza kitchen there at Bravery
Speaker 2: Brewing as well, so you can grab some lunch and
Speaker 2: hang out, make a morning early afternoon of the whole thing.
Speaker 3: After the show ends.
Speaker 2: After the live show ends, we're actually going to record
Speaker 2: our Weekend Fix, the Gas Weekend Fix, which is the
Speaker 2: podcast that shows up on Saturdays that you don't get
Speaker 2: to hear during the rest of the week, and you
Speaker 2: have to be so you have to subscribe to the
Speaker 2: podcast to get it, So make sure wherever you are
Speaker 2: listening to the podcast that you subscribe to it.
Speaker 3: That'll just get dropped right.
Speaker 2: Into your there' a Q on Saturday mornings, but if
Speaker 2: you're out there on Friday afternoon, you'll watch us do
Speaker 2: it live. A bunch of stuff going on today right now.
Speaker 2: President Trump just welcomed the President of South Africa to
Speaker 2: the White House today, so we'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 2: We have a little bit more about finding out about
Speaker 2: former President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis and sort of what
Speaker 2: went into that. You heard doctor Jim Keeney with Handle
Speaker 2: there discuss what doctors look for when they look for it,
Speaker 2: what happens when you reach the age of seventy if
Speaker 2: you have not yet shown signs of prostate cancer. All
Speaker 2: of that is coming up. More problems with Newark Liberty
Speaker 2: International Airport, and for the third day in a row,
Speaker 2: if you can believe this, a terror in the Sky's
Speaker 2: segment is coming up a little bit later. There is
Speaker 2: a developing story out of the Middle East that is
Speaker 2: important we got to pay attention to, and that is
Speaker 2: that there is new intelligence that suggests that Israel is
Speaker 2: preparing a possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. And one
Speaker 2: of the reasons why this kind of raised the raised
Speaker 2: my back hair last night when I saw this for
Speaker 2: the first time. Was we just talked with Nick Berg,
Speaker 2: an author, an Iranian American born in Tehran, served in
Speaker 2: the American military of Special Operations in the Army and
Speaker 2: has some pretty interesting perspective on the relationship between not
Speaker 2: just the United States in Iran, but Iran and the
Speaker 2: rest of the world. This intelligence published by CNN, not
Speaker 2: the intelligence itself, but what it generally says is that
Speaker 2: Israel has been making preparations to hit Iranian nuclear facilities. Now,
Speaker 2: this would be a humongous break from what President Trump
Speaker 2: has been trying to do during his Middle East tour,
Speaker 2: I guess you could say it. Last week, one of
Speaker 2: the things that President Trump said was he was going
Speaker 2: to allow sanctions to expire against Syria so that Syria
Speaker 2: had a chance to kind of get back on its
Speaker 2: feet and be come a good neighbor not just to
Speaker 2: the Middle East, but to the rest of the world,
Speaker 2: signaling that he was willing to do something similar to
Speaker 2: Iran or with Iran, and that he would be willing
Speaker 2: to have more negotiations with Iran as long as Iran
Speaker 2: gives up its ambitions for a nuclear weapon. Now, Israel
Speaker 2: is not going to wait around for that. Israel has
Speaker 2: incredible intelligence and if they believe that Iran is closer
Speaker 2: to a nuclear weapon, they will not hold back and
Speaker 2: they will not necessarily ask for permission from the United States,
Speaker 2: but they would give us a heads up that they
Speaker 2: were about to bomb Iran into the Stone Age.
Speaker 3: Now again.
Speaker 2: We talked with author Nick Berg about this back on Monday,
Speaker 2: and I asked him specifically, what about these ongoing overtures
Speaker 2: from whether it's the United States or Europe, whatever, these
Speaker 2: ongoing discussions of giving up your nuclear ambitions in order
Speaker 2: to come back into the world of nations, getting into
Speaker 2: the good graces with everybody else around the world.
Speaker 4: Iran's government is really good at procrastinating. They have for
Speaker 4: years have done maybe we'll talk, maybe they go a
Speaker 4: little here, and then they take one step forward and
Speaker 4: five steps back. And that has been their strategy all along.
Speaker 4: As they get a little bit of reprieve, they clamp
Speaker 4: down internally on the people that are trying to rise
Speaker 4: against them. They do all of that, and then they
Speaker 4: go back to the to the old place.
Speaker 2: You can, by the way, check out Nick's book. It's
Speaker 2: called Shadows of Tehran. There's more information about it. Back
Speaker 2: on the podcast. You could just go back listen to
Speaker 2: the podcast and listen to that interview from Monday that
Speaker 2: I did with Nick. There is an important schism here
Speaker 2: because this means this intelligence that suggests Israel is prepping
Speaker 2: for some sort of a strike, I mean one of
Speaker 2: a couple of things. Number One, as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 2: this is a giant departure between Israel and the United States.
Speaker 2: They're not waiting around for a deal, They're not waiting
Speaker 2: around for permission, and they're not gonna wait around for
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to give them.
Speaker 3: The go ahead.
Speaker 2: The other thing this could possibly be is a coordinated
Speaker 2: action where Donald Trump or the United States in general
Speaker 2: says to Benjamin nettan Yahoo, or Israel in general, Hey,
Speaker 2: just so you know, we are gonna start these processes.
Speaker 2: We're gonna start these negotiations. We're gonna try to get
Speaker 2: Iran to come to the table. We're going to try
Speaker 2: to get them to promise to give up their ambitions
Speaker 2: for a nuclear weapon so that they can be back
Speaker 2: allowed back into the world marketplace. But we're gonna need
Speaker 2: some sort of stick on the back end. The carrot
Speaker 2: is you get to sell your oil, you get to travel,
Speaker 2: you get to you know, you get to trade all
Speaker 2: of that sort of stuff, but we need to have
Speaker 2: a stick on the back end of that, and that
Speaker 2: stick might be an Israeli strike. The other aspect, to
Speaker 2: go back to the first option, that this is just
Speaker 2: Israel acting out on its own.
Speaker 3: They waiting for a deal.
Speaker 2: Even if there is some sort of a deal that's
Speaker 2: negotiated between the United States and Iran, there's no guarantee
Speaker 2: that Israel doesn't just strike out on its own. If
Speaker 2: they don't like the deal, or if they feel the
Speaker 2: deal doesn't go far enough to provide safety for Israel,
Speaker 2: they'll do their own thing. They have done it many,
Speaker 2: many times before. An intelligence assessment from back in February
Speaker 2: suggested that Israel could either use military airplanes or long
Speaker 2: range missiles if they wanted to capitalize on the air
Speaker 2: defense capabilities that they've already been degrading in Iran. But
Speaker 2: that same assessment also talked about how the strikes would
Speaker 2: only minimally set the Iranian nuclear program back, wouldn't necessarily
Speaker 2: be a cure all in all of this, because as
Speaker 2: we've seen over the decades that we've been paying attention
Speaker 2: to this, Iran is pretty good at hiding their nuclear facilities,
Speaker 2: at putting them in places that are hard to get to,
Speaker 2: hard to strike, and our bunker busters only go so far.
Speaker 2: So that's one of those things that has made a
Speaker 2: headline today. And we'll see if President Trump is asked
Speaker 2: about it again. The President is hosting the President of
Speaker 2: South Africa for some bilateral talks today at the White House,
Speaker 2: and when they do a news conference, which is expected,
Speaker 2: we'll check and see if he gets questions about what's
Speaker 2: going on with Iran. The other thing the President did
Speaker 2: along those same lines talked about yesterday was this Golden
Speaker 2: Dome missile defense shield, similar to what Israel has in
Speaker 2: its Iron Dome, but a much much larger scale, obviously
Speaker 2: to cover the United States. Why this would even be
Speaker 2: necessary here in the United States. Oh, we have a
Speaker 2: chance for you to w on a thousand dollars coming
Speaker 2: up as well. We'll tell you how you can pick
Speaker 2: that up.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: A fifth escape inmate has been captured down in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Of course, ten inmates were the ones that escaped in
Speaker 2: Orleans Parish last Friday morning. They crawled through a wall
Speaker 2: behind a toilet. Five others now still on the run.
Speaker 2: A maintenance worker in that prison has been charged with
Speaker 2: ten felony counts of principle to simple escape and one
Speaker 2: count of malfeasans in office. He admitted that he shut
Speaker 2: off the water to that toilet in that cell and
Speaker 2: helped facilitate the escape, but said he had been threatened
Speaker 2: by other inmates. Department of Justice has opened an investigation
Speaker 2: into the mayor of Chicago over allegations of race based discrimination.
Speaker 2: He got a letter the mayor, did Brandon Johnson, from
Speaker 2: an assistant US attorney saying that there is reasonable cause
Speaker 2: to believe that he made hiring decisions solely on the
Speaker 2: basis of race, which would be a violation of Civil
Speaker 2: Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. DOJ is busy because
Speaker 2: they're also supposedly investigating Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor.
Speaker 2: He is running for mayor now in New York City.
Speaker 2: The investigation comes after a referral from Congressional Republicans who
Speaker 2: say that he was lying during the investigation of the
Speaker 2: COVID response that he and his administration undertook while he
Speaker 2: was governor. The Sean Diddy COLEMs trial today is going
Speaker 2: to hear from a Homeland Security Investigation special agent who
Speaker 2: led searches of Diddy's properties in Miami. We'll talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit later in this hour, before we
Speaker 2: get to the Golden Dome missile defense plan by President Trump.
Speaker 2: We have a chance for you to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Now your chance to win one thousand dollars just enter
Speaker 1: this nationwide keyword on our website win.
Speaker 3: That's win, wim.
Speaker 1: Entered now at KFIAM six forty dot com, slash cash
Speaker 1: Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're hurting an accident,
Speaker 1: winning is everything, call the winning attorneys at Sweet James
Speaker 1: one eight hundred and nine million. That's one eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine million or sweet Games dot com.
Speaker 2: Again, that keyword goes on the website win. If you do,
Speaker 2: in fact win, we'll notify a via email. A chance.
Speaker 2: Another chance is coming up an hour from now for
Speaker 2: you to win one thousand bucks. Right now at the
Speaker 2: White House, President Trump is hosting Cyril Ramafosa, the President
Speaker 2: of South Africa.
Speaker 5: Police from South Africa that have invested in the US
Speaker 5: that's creating a number of jobs and Similarly, you've got
Speaker 5: almost six hundred companies that have invested in South Africa,
Speaker 5: and some of them have been in South Africa for
Speaker 5: more than a hundred years.
Speaker 2: If there's anything that comes out of that, we'll definitely
Speaker 2: bring it to you. But this is one of the
Speaker 2: news conferences that takes place there in the Oval Office
Speaker 2: in front of the new gold gilded fireplace that Trump wanted.
Speaker 2: So yesterday the President laid out some details for the
Speaker 2: multi billion dollar Golden Dome missile defense system that he
Speaker 2: wants to protect the United States.
Speaker 6: Design for the Golden Dome will integrate with our existing
Speaker 6: defense capabilities and should be fully operational before the end
Speaker 6: of my term, so we haven't done in about three years.
Speaker 6: Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of
Speaker 6: intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides
Speaker 6: of the world, and even if they are launched from space.
Speaker 3: Tons of money in this deal.
Speaker 2: High profile defense contractors, tech companies. They are lining up
Speaker 2: to get their teeth into this contract. Of course, most
Speaker 2: of the details of this are still pretty vague, but
Speaker 2: the Golden Dome is similar to the Iron Dome. Iron
Speaker 2: Dome is what protects Israel from incoming missiles that we
Speaker 2: have seen for years now, and it is basically an
Speaker 2: American product. We supply a lot of the infrastructure, the technology,
Speaker 2: and the missiles themselves that are used as the anti
Speaker 2: missile missiles. What's not clear yet is exactly what a
Speaker 2: golden dome would look like over the United States. Iron
Speaker 2: dome protects heavily populated areas in and around Israel, and
Speaker 2: those are short range threats. Those missiles come in most
Speaker 2: of the time from neighboring countries. The Gaza Strip West
Speaker 2: Bank Lebanon that is Israel is the size of New Jersey.
Speaker 2: The United States as a whole is five hundred times
Speaker 2: larger than that. And the President is talking not about
Speaker 2: a ground based system. He's talking about a ground, air,
Speaker 2: and space based missile defense system that would defend every
Speaker 2: square inch of the United States from advanced ballistic missiles
Speaker 2: and hypersonic missiles. Brett Velikovich, by the way, is one
Speaker 2: of those experts when it comes to He's a former
Speaker 2: Army officer, expert in drone technology but also defending against
Speaker 2: those types of aerial threats, and he talks about what
Speaker 2: this system would be designed to defend.
Speaker 7: Against China and North Korea. Our enemies are developing offensive
Speaker 7: missile systems that can reach it out and strike us
Speaker 7: at home in ways we never envisioned before, and so
Speaker 7: we've got to adapt fast. And this is going to
Speaker 7: be the most powerful missile defense system ever built. And
Speaker 7: Trump and his team are finally modernizing the US defense
Speaker 7: arsenal and bringing us back into the twenty first century
Speaker 7: currently so we can be once again seen as the
Speaker 7: world's leading technological superpower.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, now, if that makes you feel comfortable, perfect,
Speaker 2: There's something that makes you feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: It's this.
Speaker 2: It's the threat of hypersonic missiles that go not just
Speaker 2: at hundreds of miles an hour, but a couple thousand
Speaker 2: miles an hour in order to basically overwhelm missile defense systems.
Speaker 7: We've been losing this hypersonic race right now for quite
Speaker 7: some time. And we learned just even in the last
Speaker 7: couple months that China could destroy all US aircraft carriers
Speaker 7: in just twenty minutes by using their own hypersonic missile arsenal.
Speaker 7: And now they're focusing on a mass and dozens of
Speaker 7: orbital missiles in space quip with nuclear warheads that could
Speaker 7: destroy our own civilizations. So this is exactly what the
Speaker 7: Golden Dome is designed to counter. And clearly China's pretty
Speaker 7: upset about that, we learned this morning. Obviously they're pissed
Speaker 7: because it's a direct threat to their long term strategy,
Speaker 7: and that's just a great thing for us.
Speaker 2: One of the things that President Trump said yesterday when
Speaker 2: he was announcing this project, the Golden Dome project, is
Speaker 2: that Canada has called us on the Red hotline, the
Speaker 2: Maple Line, whatever they call it, wanting to be involved
Speaker 2: in the project and wants to also enjoy the protections
Speaker 2: of the Golden Dome. The Office of the Canadian Prime
Speaker 2: Minister said that he and his ministers are discussing how
Speaker 2: to negotiate a new security and economic relationship and that
Speaker 2: would include strengthening nora AD and related initiatives like the
Speaker 2: Golden Dome. Back at the early part of the month,
Speaker 2: the Pentagon did talk about different version of the Golden
Speaker 2: Dome and submitted three different plans, a small, medium, and
Speaker 2: a large, and the President didn't talk about what the
Speaker 2: final choice would be on that necessarily, but said that
Speaker 2: they had selected an architecture for this so he may
Speaker 2: have decided which one he wants to go with, a
Speaker 2: small medium or the large. Knowing what we know about
Speaker 2: this guy, I would have assumed he's going to go
Speaker 2: for the largest. All right again, President Trump is meeting
Speaker 2: with the President of South Africa right now in the
Speaker 2: Oval Office. I'll be listening into that during the commercial
Speaker 2: break and see if anything comes out of that. But
Speaker 2: there's new information about former President Biden and the prostate
Speaker 2: cancer diagnosis, and they're doing I think they're trying. His
Speaker 2: office is trying to answer questions about what we knew
Speaker 2: and when we knew it about this cancer diagnosis.
Speaker 3: The information they put out yesterday.
Speaker 2: Didn't solve I should say they didn't quell a lot
Speaker 2: of the questions, didn't answer a lot of them, and
Speaker 2: in fact raised other questions.
Speaker 3: So we'll talk about all of that when we come back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: The Tulsa Zoo and the La Zoo have made it official.
Speaker 2: Billy and Tina are no longer in La. They have
Speaker 2: just wrapped up a twenty six hour road trip the
Speaker 2: forty year old bull elephant Billy and Tina the fifty
Speaker 2: nine year old female elephant have arrived in Tulsa. According
Speaker 2: to a statement from Tulsa Zoo, both elephants loaded in
Speaker 2: quickly for the journey thanks to training provided prior to
Speaker 2: the move. They are accompanying care teams said both elephants
Speaker 2: were calm and ate and drank well at each stop.
Speaker 2: According to the zoo, the trip included frequent breaks every
Speaker 2: few hours, during which the elephants were offered hey and
Speaker 2: cantalope and romaine, lettuce and water. Now they have to
Speaker 2: go into a quarantine period before being introduced to the
Speaker 2: resident elephant herd that already exists there in Tulsa. This
Speaker 2: had been a question because nobody could find Billy and Tina,
Speaker 2: and in fact, there were some activists outside the La
Speaker 2: Zoo who said they were misled now by the La
Speaker 2: Zoo about where Billy and Tina actually were. Yesterday, there
Speaker 2: was a suggestion that if you went to go see them,
Speaker 2: they weren't in the enclosure there in La just over
Speaker 2: the hill at the zoo, and that if you called
Speaker 2: the zoo they would say, oh, yeah, they're there. They're
Speaker 2: just you know, it's hot, so they're in the enclosure
Speaker 2: where it's air conditioned, so but it has been confirmed
Speaker 2: Billy and Tina, the La City Zoo elephants, have been
Speaker 2: moved to Tulsa somewhere.
Speaker 3: Share is very very pissed.
Speaker 2: President Trump is hosting Cyril rem Fosa, the President of
Speaker 2: South Africa, in a White House press conference right now.
Speaker 3: It's sort of the informal one they do in.
Speaker 2: The Oval Office, and there has been some strains between
Speaker 2: the United States and South Africa recently. But they're getting
Speaker 2: some good laughs in. They're talking about some funny stuff.
Speaker 2: So a California Democratic lawmaker has been arrested or at
Speaker 2: least cited, on suspicion of drunk driving. Fifty first District
Speaker 2: State Senator Sabrina Servants out in Riverside, thirty seven years old,
Speaker 2: forcefully disputed that she was drunk, and she said the
Speaker 2: cops that accosted her in Sacramento falsely accused her of
Speaker 2: driving under the influence. On Monday afternoon, she apparently got
Speaker 2: into a car accident there in Sacramento, somewhere near the Capitol.
Speaker 2: But she said she did have to go to the hospital,
Speaker 2: apparently for injuries, and she said in a statement the
Speaker 2: lab results I sought in the hospital show conclusively I
Speaker 2: had no alcohol in my system. I expect this to
Speaker 2: be quick, to be quickly and justly resolved. So she
Speaker 2: was accused of it, but we don't expect. We'll see
Speaker 2: how that goes coming up soon. Don't look now. The
Speaker 2: Angels have won five in a row, seven to five
Speaker 2: win last night in Sacramento against the A's, and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers snapped their losing streak. They finally beat the Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: four to three yesterday after a four game losing streak.
Speaker 2: So the diagnosis of former President Biden's prostate cancer that
Speaker 2: he was told about on Friday, that we were told
Speaker 2: about on Sunday has raised a lot of questions. How
Speaker 2: does a guy go from no prostate cancer, no known
Speaker 2: prostate cancer, to a very aggressive prostate cancer nine on
Speaker 2: the Gleason scale, arguably a stage four cancer, although I
Speaker 2: haven't seen it officially staged at that point yet. The
Speaker 2: President's doctor was President Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, has has
Speaker 2: been the doctor for Biden since he was sixty seven,
Speaker 2: and that doctor didn't release annual reports about his health.
Speaker 2: O'Connor was still the doctor when he left the Vice presidency,
Speaker 2: and then in December of twenty nineteen, Biden's presidential campaign
Speaker 2: did release a three page emmet of his medical history.
Speaker 2: To be clear, that's not releasing medical records. It's just
Speaker 2: the doctor's version of medical records, because that obviously means
Speaker 2: that the doctor gets to select which things are relevant
Speaker 2: which ones aren't. It's not the raw numbers of the
Speaker 2: test results that come out. And there was no mention,
Speaker 2: at least during the presidential campaign in twenty nineteen, no
Speaker 2: mention of a PSA test. We know since then that
Speaker 2: he was screened for a PSA test in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: and all that is it's the blood test. It's not
Speaker 2: the old peep boop, it's not the old you know,
Speaker 2: the old coming in through the back door thing, because
Speaker 2: in that case, it's an actual tactile discovery. I guess
Speaker 2: upon the doctor's part of does the prostate feel different?
Speaker 2: Is it rough in texture? I don't know how much
Speaker 2: time they spend back there. In all honesty, I've never
Speaker 2: had one, so I don't know what goes on. The
Speaker 2: PSA test is a blood test, and it looks for
Speaker 2: prostate specific antigens in the blood. That is the most
Speaker 2: common form of screening for prostate cancer. We know that
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, according to the doctor, that was when
Speaker 2: he had his last PSA test.
Speaker 3: That would have been seven years before he became president.
Speaker 2: Now there are questions about what is the proper procedure
Speaker 2: for the general pop when it comes to prostate exams
Speaker 2: right or looking for prostate cancer. The US Preventative Services
Speaker 2: Task for says that any men from fifty five to
Speaker 2: sixty nine should get periodic PSA testing.
Speaker 3: Again, that's just a blood test.
Speaker 2: Because prostate cancer is so typically slow growing, they don't
Speaker 2: recommend screening for men seventy or older. And fourteen tests
Speaker 2: would have been right after he turned seventy seventy one
Speaker 2: seventy two, And the thinking is the potential risks at
Speaker 2: that age are considered to outweigh any advantage you get
Speaker 2: from screening. You get a false positive, you detect cancers
Speaker 2: that aren't deadly, you might have to undergo a biopsy,
Speaker 2: which could potentially in some cases cause the cancer to spread.
Speaker 3: It's thought patient anxiety.
Speaker 2: You don't want to have to stress about this if
Speaker 2: it's not going to be the thing that kills you.
Speaker 2: So the most recent PSA test in twenty fourteen, took
Speaker 2: place when Biden was seventy two years old. He's now
Speaker 2: eighty two, and of course he had talked the doctors
Speaker 2: had said that the prostate cancer had spread to the
Speaker 2: bone after a nodule was discovered on the prostate. He
Speaker 2: had urinary symptoms, which is the most common symptom that
Speaker 2: comes up in a man of that age.
Speaker 3: What does this mean?
Speaker 2: Well, I have a question for the White House physician,
Speaker 2: which is I referenced general pop right, the one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty million men that exist in the United States
Speaker 2: or one hundred and sixty whatever the number is. If
Speaker 2: you're over that certain age, they tell you after fifty
Speaker 2: five you should consider periodic PSA testing. If you have
Speaker 2: a history of prostate cancer in your family, you might
Speaker 2: want to shoot a little younger than that. I had
Speaker 2: my first PSA test five years ago because my dad
Speaker 2: had prostate cancer, very similar to what Joe Biden is
Speaker 2: dealing with. But the question of why wouldn't a president,
Speaker 2: regardless of the medical potential for like I said, you know,
Speaker 2: the the potential risks outweighing the advantage of a screening.
Speaker 2: It's the president of the United States. Why wouldn't you
Speaker 2: do a full panel, full work up, full draw every
Speaker 2: single year because of the potential for this to be
Speaker 2: something that the United States should know about. I mentioned
Speaker 2: that the presidents are also subject to hippolaw's or benefit
Speaker 2: from hippo laws, so they don't have to release their
Speaker 2: information unless there's some sort of national security issue that
Speaker 2: arises from it. So yes, the Biden press office has
Speaker 2: said that he got his last PSA test in twenty
Speaker 2: fourteen when he was seventy two. At that point it
Speaker 2: was probably unnecessary according to doctors, but when you become
Speaker 2: the president, it seems strange that they would not have
Speaker 2: done it on a regular basis. We know that the
Speaker 2: last annual physical that he received as president was February
Speaker 2: of last year, and at that time they didn't say
Speaker 2: anything about this, So the questions, the questions still exist.
Speaker 2: The Sean Combs trial continues, and there is a Homeland
Speaker 2: security investigator who had some of the nastiest pictures you
Speaker 2: can expect out of the Miami mansion that belonged to
Speaker 2: Sean Diddy Combs.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary Shennon on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: More when we get into swamp watch about what's going
Speaker 2: on in the White House. I told you that what
Speaker 2: appeared to be a rather cordial discussion between the President
Speaker 2: of South Africa and President Trump got a little heated
Speaker 2: when President Trump played a video of some lawmakers and
Speaker 2: activists in South Africa calling for white genocide.
Speaker 3: That was an uncomfortable moment. We'll talk about that a
Speaker 3: little bit later.
Speaker 2: Six hours of testimony yesterday, on the eleventh day of
Speaker 2: seand de Combe's trial, federal prosecutors called to the stand
Speaker 2: a former personal assistant, the mother of Cassie Ventura, a
Speaker 2: sex worker named the Punisher, and a federal agent. Combs,
Speaker 2: of course, is pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking.
Speaker 2: His defense is, oh, sure, I used to beat up women,
Speaker 2: but I wasn't a federal racketeer. I didn't to I
Speaker 2: didn't cross state lines. I wasn't a sex trafficker. Prosecutors
Speaker 2: have been calling all of these witnesses so far. The
Speaker 2: expectation is we're going to see Don Hughes, as psychologist
Speaker 2: who specializes in sex trauma, another former assistant, and then
Speaker 2: rapper Kid Cutty. I guess his original schedule was for today,
Speaker 2: but he's been delayed according to prosecutors. So one of
Speaker 2: the things that he can testify to is the threats
Speaker 2: that Sean did. He Combs allegedly made against Cassie Ventura
Speaker 2: because Cassie was apparently in a relationship with Kid Cutty
Speaker 2: at one point, and Kid Cutty's car blew up soon
Speaker 2: after Seawan Combs threatened to blow.
Speaker 3: Up his car.
Speaker 2: Juror's heard about all of these alleged interactions between Cassie
Speaker 2: Ventura and Seawan Combs from Cassie herself. She was the
Speaker 2: star witness and actually on the stand for three or
Speaker 2: four days. One personal assistant, David James, told jurors about
Speaker 2: the bunch of different tasks that he had to complete
Speaker 2: for the Comb's stocking hotel rooms to get ready for
