A bunch of stuff going on today right now. 26 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.760 President Trump just welcomed the President of South Africa to 27 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.040 the White House today, so we'll keep an eye on that. 28 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.760 We have a little bit more about finding out about 29 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.120 former President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis and sort of what 30 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.760 went into that. You heard doctor Jim Keeney with Handle 31 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.439 there discuss what doctors look for when they look for it, 32 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.000 what happens when you reach the age of seventy if 33 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.840 you have not yet shown signs of prostate cancer. All 34 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.400 of that is coming up. More problems with Newark Liberty 35 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.920 International Airport, and for the third day in a row, 36 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.239 if you can believe this, a terror in the Sky's 37 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.959 segment is coming up a little bit later. There is 38 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.040 a developing story out of the Middle East that is 39 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.040 important we got to pay attention to, and that is 40 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:54.560 that there is new intelligence that suggests that Israel is 41 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.680 preparing a possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. And one 42 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.400 of the reasons why this kind of raised the raised 43 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.760 my back hair last night when I saw this for 44 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.120 the first time. Was we just talked with Nick Berg, 45 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.879 an author, an Iranian American born in Tehran, served in 46 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.280 the American military of Special Operations in the Army and 47 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.639 has some pretty interesting perspective on the relationship between not 48 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.120 just the United States in Iran, but Iran and the 49 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.800 rest of the world. This intelligence published by CNN, not 50 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.319 the intelligence itself, but what it generally says is that 51 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.800 Israel has been making preparations to hit Iranian nuclear facilities. Now, 52 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.800 this would be a humongous break from what President Trump 53 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.159 has been trying to do during his Middle East tour, 54 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.800 I guess you could say it. Last week, one of 55 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.199 the things that President Trump said was he was going 56 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:57.879 to allow sanctions to expire against Syria so that Syria 57 00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:59.479 had a chance to kind of get back on its 58 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.560 feet and be come a good neighbor not just to 59 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.080 the Middle East, but to the rest of the world, 60 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.960 signaling that he was willing to do something similar to 61 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.280 Iran or with Iran, and that he would be willing 62 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.240 to have more negotiations with Iran as long as Iran 63 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:19.000 gives up its ambitions for a nuclear weapon. Now, Israel 64 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.400 is not going to wait around for that. Israel has 65 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.199 incredible intelligence and if they believe that Iran is closer 66 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.960 to a nuclear weapon, they will not hold back and 67 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.240 they will not necessarily ask for permission from the United States, 68 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.599 but they would give us a heads up that they 69 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.360 were about to bomb Iran into the Stone Age. 70 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.159 Now again. 71 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.919 We talked with author Nick Berg about this back on Monday, 72 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:48.280 and I asked him specifically, what about these ongoing overtures 73 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.639 from whether it's the United States or Europe, whatever, these 74 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:57.560 ongoing discussions of giving up your nuclear ambitions in order 75 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:03.840 to come back into the world of nations, getting into 76 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.159 the good graces with everybody else around the world. 77 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.039 Iran's government is really good at procrastinating. They have for 78 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.280 years have done maybe we'll talk, maybe they go a 79 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.759 little here, and then they take one step forward and 80 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.839 five steps back. And that has been their strategy all along. 81 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.560 As they get a little bit of reprieve, they clamp 82 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.439 down internally on the people that are trying to rise 83 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.160 against them. They do all of that, and then they 84 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.079 go back to the to the old place. 85 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.399 You can, by the way, check out Nick's book. It's 86 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.079 called Shadows of Tehran. There's more information about it. Back 87 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.040 on the podcast. You could just go back listen to 88 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.199 the podcast and listen to that interview from Monday that 89 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.199 I did with Nick. There is an important schism here 90 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.240 because this means this intelligence that suggests Israel is prepping 91 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.519 for some sort of a strike, I mean one of 92 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.759 a couple of things. Number One, as I mentioned earlier, 93 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.480 this is a giant departure between Israel and the United States. 94 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.319 They're not waiting around for a deal, They're not waiting 95 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.160 around for permission, and they're not gonna wait around for 96 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.519 Donald Trump to give them. 97 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:16.120 The go ahead. 98 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.560 The other thing this could possibly be is a coordinated 99 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.480 action where Donald Trump or the United States in general 100 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.079 says to Benjamin nettan Yahoo, or Israel in general, Hey, 101 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.959 just so you know, we are gonna start these processes. 102 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.720 We're gonna start these negotiations. We're gonna try to get 103 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.639 Iran to come to the table. We're going to try 104 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.319 to get them to promise to give up their ambitions 105 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.759 for a nuclear weapon so that they can be back 106 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.959 allowed back into the world marketplace. But we're gonna need 107 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.720 some sort of stick on the back end. The carrot 108 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.759 is you get to sell your oil, you get to travel, 109 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.920 you get to you know, you get to trade all 110 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.759 of that sort of stuff, but we need to have 111 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.480 a stick on the back end of that, and that 112 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.720 stick might be an Israeli strike. The other aspect, to 113 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.720 go back to the first option, that this is just 114 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:07.279 Israel acting out on its own. 115 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.319 They waiting for a deal. 116 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.199 Even if there is some sort of a deal that's 117 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.560 negotiated between the United States and Iran, there's no guarantee 118 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.560 that Israel doesn't just strike out on its own. If 119 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.040 they don't like the deal, or if they feel the 120 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.519 deal doesn't go far enough to provide safety for Israel, 121 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.279 they'll do their own thing. They have done it many, 122 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.759 many times before. An intelligence assessment from back in February 123 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.360 suggested that Israel could either use military airplanes or long 124 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.360 range missiles if they wanted to capitalize on the air 125 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.800 defense capabilities that they've already been degrading in Iran. But 126 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.360 that same assessment also talked about how the strikes would 127 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.439 only minimally set the Iranian nuclear program back, wouldn't necessarily 128 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.279 be a cure all in all of this, because as 129 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.759 we've seen over the decades that we've been paying attention 130 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.160 to this, Iran is pretty good at hiding their nuclear facilities, 131 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.319 at putting them in places that are hard to get to, 132 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.920 hard to strike, and our bunker busters only go so far. 133 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.000 So that's one of those things that has made a 134 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.319 headline today. And we'll see if President Trump is asked 135 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.920 about it again. The President is hosting the President of 136 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.639 South Africa for some bilateral talks today at the White House, 137 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.120 and when they do a news conference, which is expected, 138 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.879 we'll check and see if he gets questions about what's 139 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.040 going on with Iran. The other thing the President did 140 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.360 along those same lines talked about yesterday was this Golden 141 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.959 Dome missile defense shield, similar to what Israel has in 142 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.800 its Iron Dome, but a much much larger scale, obviously 143 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.439 to cover the United States. Why this would even be 144 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.519 necessary here in the United States. Oh, we have a 145 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.279 chance for you to w on a thousand dollars coming 146 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.279 up as well. We'll tell you how you can pick 147 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:56.680 that up. 148 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.040 You're listening to Gary and Shannon demand from KFI AM 149 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.240 six forty. 150 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.120 A fifth escape inmate has been captured down in Louisiana. 151 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.279 Of course, ten inmates were the ones that escaped in 152 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.480 Orleans Parish last Friday morning. They crawled through a wall 153 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.480 behind a toilet. Five others now still on the run. 154 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:18.519 A maintenance worker in that prison has been charged with 155 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.839 ten felony counts of principle to simple escape and one 156 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.920 count of malfeasans in office. He admitted that he shut 157 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.879 off the water to that toilet in that cell and 158 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.720 helped facilitate the escape, but said he had been threatened 159 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.720 by other inmates. Department of Justice has opened an investigation 160 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:41.639 into the mayor of Chicago over allegations of race based discrimination. 161 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.799 He got a letter the mayor, did Brandon Johnson, from 162 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.200 an assistant US attorney saying that there is reasonable cause 163 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.320 to believe that he made hiring decisions solely on the 164 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.559 basis of race, which would be a violation of Civil 165 00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.600 Rights Act of nineteen sixty four. DOJ is busy because 166 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.080 they're also supposedly investigating Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor. 167 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.720 He is running for mayor now in New York City. 168 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.120 The investigation comes after a referral from Congressional Republicans who 169 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.840 say that he was lying during the investigation of the 170 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:20.600 COVID response that he and his administration undertook while he 171 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.480 was governor. The Sean Diddy COLEMs trial today is going 172 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.759 to hear from a Homeland Security Investigation special agent who 173 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.559 led searches of Diddy's properties in Miami. We'll talk about 174 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.960 that a little bit later in this hour, before we 175 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.480 get to the Golden Dome missile defense plan by President Trump. 176 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.320 We have a chance for you to win one thousand dollars. 177 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.639 Now your chance to win one thousand dollars just enter 178 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.000 this nationwide keyword on our website win. 179 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.840 That's win, wim. 180 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.200 Entered now at KFIAM six forty dot com, slash cash 181 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.559 Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys.

Right now at the 189 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.480 White House, President Trump is hosting Cyril Ramafosa, the President 190 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.600 of South Africa. 191 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.240 Police from South Africa that have invested in the US 192 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.559 that's creating a number of jobs and Similarly, you've got 193 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.720 almost six hundred companies that have invested in South Africa, 194 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.120 and some of them have been in South Africa for 195 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:37.399 more than a hundred years. 196 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.000 If there's anything that comes out of that, we'll definitely 197 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.759 bring it to you. But this is one of the 198 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.200 news conferences that takes place there in the Oval Office 199 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.840 in front of the new gold gilded fireplace that Trump wanted. 200 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:54.200 So yesterday the President laid out some details for the 201 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.159 multi billion dollar Golden Dome missile defense system that he 202 00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.879 wants to protect the United States. 203 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.240 Design for the Golden Dome will integrate with our existing 204 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.399 defense capabilities and should be fully operational before the end 205 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.480 of my term, so we haven't done in about three years. 206 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.799 Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of 207 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.960 intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides 208 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.399 of the world, and even if they are launched from space. 209 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.879 Tons of money in this deal. 210 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.320 High profile defense contractors, tech companies. They are lining up 211 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.240 to get their teeth into this contract. Of course, most 212 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.840 of the details of this are still pretty vague, but 213 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.320 the Golden Dome is similar to the Iron Dome. Iron 214 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.000 Dome is what protects Israel from incoming missiles that we 215 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.960 have seen for years now, and it is basically an 216 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:51.279 American product. We supply a lot of the infrastructure, the technology, 217 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.759 and the missiles themselves that are used as the anti 218 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.320 missile missiles. What's not clear yet is exactly what a 219 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.639 golden dome would look like over the United States. Iron 220 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:08.519 dome protects heavily populated areas in and around Israel, and 221 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:12.120 those are short range threats. Those missiles come in most 222 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.399 of the time from neighboring countries. The Gaza Strip West 223 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:22.480 Bank Lebanon that is Israel is the size of New Jersey. 224 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:27.200 The United States as a whole is five hundred times 225 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.240 larger than that. And the President is talking not about 226 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.480 a ground based system. He's talking about a ground, air, 227 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.960 and space based missile defense system that would defend every 228 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.279 square inch of the United States from advanced ballistic missiles 229 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.600 and hypersonic missiles. Brett Velikovich, by the way, is one 230 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.600 of those experts when it comes to He's a former 231 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:56.200 Army officer, expert in drone technology but also defending against 232 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.600 those types of aerial threats, and he talks about what 233 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.919 this system would be designed to defend. 234 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.320 Against China and North Korea. Our enemies are developing offensive 235 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.480 missile systems that can reach it out and strike us 236 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.480 at home in ways we never envisioned before, and so 237 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.279 we've got to adapt fast. And this is going to 238 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.519 be the most powerful missile defense system ever built. And 239 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.720 Trump and his team are finally modernizing the US defense 240 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.120 arsenal and bringing us back into the twenty first century 241 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.519 currently so we can be once again seen as the 242 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.360 world's leading technological superpower. 243 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.000 Well, okay, now, if that makes you feel comfortable, perfect, 244 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.279 There's something that makes you feel very uncomfortable. 245 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:31.879 It's this. 246 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.679 It's the threat of hypersonic missiles that go not just 247 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.279 at hundreds of miles an hour, but a couple thousand 248 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.080 miles an hour in order to basically overwhelm missile defense systems. 249 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.240 We've been losing this hypersonic race right now for quite 250 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.120 some time. And we learned just even in the last 251 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.720 couple months that China could destroy all US aircraft carriers 252 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.080 in just twenty minutes by using their own hypersonic missile arsenal. 253 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.320 And now they're focusing on a mass and dozens of 254 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.320 orbital missiles in space quip with nuclear warheads that could 255 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.039 destroy our own civilizations. So this is exactly what the 256 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.720 Golden Dome is designed to counter. And clearly China's pretty 257 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.360 upset about that, we learned this morning. Obviously they're pissed 258 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.639 because it's a direct threat to their long term strategy, 259 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.879 and that's just a great thing for us. 260 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.200 One of the things that President Trump said yesterday when 261 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.799 he was announcing this project, the Golden Dome project, is 262 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.960 that Canada has called us on the Red hotline, the 263 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.399 Maple Line, whatever they call it, wanting to be involved 264 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.759 in the project and wants to also enjoy the protections 265 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.519 of the Golden Dome. The Office of the Canadian Prime 266 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:43.840 Minister said that he and his ministers are discussing how 267 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.159 to negotiate a new security and economic relationship and that 268 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:52.360 would include strengthening nora AD and related initiatives like the 269 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.360 Golden Dome. Back at the early part of the month, 270 00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:00.840 the Pentagon did talk about different version of the Golden 271 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.600 Dome and submitted three different plans, a small, medium, and 272 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.759 a large, and the President didn't talk about what the 273 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.240 final choice would be on that necessarily, but said that 274 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.440 they had selected an architecture for this so he may 275 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.519 have decided which one he wants to go with, a 276 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.320 small medium or the large. Knowing what we know about 277 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.360 this guy, I would have assumed he's going to go 278 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.720 for the largest. All right again, President Trump is meeting 279 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.600 with the President of South Africa right now in the 280 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.759 Oval Office. I'll be listening into that during the commercial 281 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.320 break and see if anything comes out of that. But 282 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:42.679 there's new information about former President Biden and the prostate 283 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:47.000 cancer diagnosis, and they're doing I think they're trying. His 284 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:51.480 office is trying to answer questions about what we knew 285 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.120 and when we knew it about this cancer diagnosis. 286 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.759 The information they put out yesterday. 287 00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:01.279 Didn't solve I should say they didn't quell a lot 288 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.639 of the questions, didn't answer a lot of them, and 289 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.320 in fact raised other questions. 290 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.559 So we'll talk about all of that when we come back. 291 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.320 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 292 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.440 AM six forty. 293 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:21.279 The Tulsa Zoo and the La Zoo have made it official. 294 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.480 Billy and Tina are no longer in La. They have 295 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.519 just wrapped up a twenty six hour road trip the 296 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.759 forty year old bull elephant Billy and Tina the fifty 297 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:37.279 nine year old female elephant have arrived in Tulsa. According 298 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.080 to a statement from Tulsa Zoo, both elephants loaded in 299 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.519 quickly for the journey thanks to training provided prior to 300 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.279 the move. They are accompanying care teams said both elephants 301 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.679 were calm and ate and drank well at each stop. 302 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.559 According to the zoo, the trip included frequent breaks every 303 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.919 few hours, during which the elephants were offered hey and 304 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.039 cantalope and romaine, lettuce and water. Now they have to 305 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.399 go into a quarantine period before being introduced to the 306 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.480 resident elephant herd that already exists there in Tulsa. This 307 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.920 had been a question because nobody could find Billy and Tina, 308 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.440 and in fact, there were some activists outside the La 309 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.279 Zoo who said they were misled now by the La 310 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.599 Zoo about where Billy and Tina actually were. Yesterday, there 311 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.000 was a suggestion that if you went to go see them, 312 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.240 they weren't in the enclosure there in La just over 313 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.000 the hill at the zoo, and that if you called 314 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.200 the zoo they would say, oh, yeah, they're there. They're 315 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:34.559 just you know, it's hot, so they're in the enclosure 316 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.079 where it's air conditioned, so but it has been confirmed 317 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:43.200 Billy and Tina, the La City Zoo elephants, have been 318 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.799 moved to Tulsa somewhere. 319 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.119 Share is very very pissed. 320 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.720 President Trump is hosting Cyril rem Fosa, the President of 321 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.359 South Africa, in a White House press conference right now. 322 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.200 It's sort of the informal one they do in. 323 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.759 The Oval Office, and there has been some strains between 324 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.200 the United States and South Africa recently. But they're getting 325 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.519 some good laughs in. They're talking about some funny stuff. 326 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:12.039 So a California Democratic lawmaker has been arrested or at 327 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.240 least cited, on suspicion of drunk driving. Fifty first District 328 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.680 State Senator Sabrina Servants out in Riverside, thirty seven years old, 329 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.559 forcefully disputed that she was drunk, and she said the 330 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.200 cops that accosted her in Sacramento falsely accused her of 331 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.720 driving under the influence. On Monday afternoon, she apparently got 332 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.799 into a car accident there in Sacramento, somewhere near the Capitol. 333 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.440 But she said she did have to go to the hospital, 334 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.279 apparently for injuries, and she said in a statement the 335 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.599 lab results I sought in the hospital show conclusively I 336 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.279 had no alcohol in my system. I expect this to 337 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:49.000 be quick, to be quickly and justly resolved. So she 338 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.640 was accused of it, but we don't expect. We'll see 339 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.880 how that goes coming up soon. Don't look now. The 340 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.799 Angels have won five in a row, seven to five 341 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.359 win last night in Sacramento against the A's, and the 342 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.480 Dodgers snapped their losing streak. They finally beat the Diamondbacks 343 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.559 four to three yesterday after a four game losing streak. 344 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:13.039 So the diagnosis of former President Biden's prostate cancer that 345 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:15.279 he was told about on Friday, that we were told 346 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.799 about on Sunday has raised a lot of questions. How 347 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.559 does a guy go from no prostate cancer, no known 348 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.000 prostate cancer, to a very aggressive prostate cancer nine on 349 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.920 the Gleason scale, arguably a stage four cancer, although I 350 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.920 haven't seen it officially staged at that point yet. The 351 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:43.000 President's doctor was President Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, has has 352 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.920 been the doctor for Biden since he was sixty seven, 353 00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.079 and that doctor didn't release annual reports about his health. 354 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.279 O'Connor was still the doctor when he left the Vice presidency, 355 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.759 and then in December of twenty nineteen, Biden's presidential campaign 356 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.279 did release a three page emmet of his medical history. 357 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.480 To be clear, that's not releasing medical records. It's just 358 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.839 the doctor's version of medical records, because that obviously means 359 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.000 that the doctor gets to select which things are relevant 360 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.559 which ones aren't. It's not the raw numbers of the 361 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.920 test results that come out. And there was no mention, 362 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.480 at least during the presidential campaign in twenty nineteen, no 363 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.440 mention of a PSA test. We know since then that 364 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.880 he was screened for a PSA test in twenty fourteen, 365 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.039 and all that is it's the blood test. It's not 366 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:40.079 the old peep boop, it's not the old you know, 367 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.880 the old coming in through the back door thing, because 368 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:51.279 in that case, it's an actual tactile discovery. I guess 369 00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.400 upon the doctor's part of does the prostate feel different? 370 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.640 Is it rough in texture? I don't know how much 371 00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.640 time they spend back there. In all honesty, I've never 372 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.440 had one, so I don't know what goes on. The 373 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.319 PSA test is a blood test, and it looks for 374 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.359 prostate specific antigens in the blood. That is the most 375 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.960 common form of screening for prostate cancer. We know that 376 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.640 in twenty fourteen, according to the doctor, that was when 377 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.480 he had his last PSA test. 378 00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:25.799 That would have been seven years before he became president. 379 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:31.599 Now there are questions about what is the proper procedure 380 00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.880 for the general pop when it comes to prostate exams 381 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:42.160 right or looking for prostate cancer. The US Preventative Services 382 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.640 Task for says that any men from fifty five to 383 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.920 sixty nine should get periodic PSA testing. 384 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.240 Again, that's just a blood test. 385 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.799 Because prostate cancer is so typically slow growing, they don't 386 00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:00.839 recommend screening for men seventy or older. And fourteen tests 387 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.960 would have been right after he turned seventy seventy one 388 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:09.680 seventy two, And the thinking is the potential risks at 389 00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.200 that age are considered to outweigh any advantage you get 390 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.519 from screening. You get a false positive, you detect cancers 391 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.880 that aren't deadly, you might have to undergo a biopsy, 392 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.680 which could potentially in some cases cause the cancer to spread. 393 00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.839 It's thought patient anxiety. 394 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.599 You don't want to have to stress about this if 395 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:30.359 it's not going to be the thing that kills you. 396 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.960 So the most recent PSA test in twenty fourteen, took 397 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.799 place when Biden was seventy two years old. He's now 398 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.319 eighty two, and of course he had talked the doctors 399 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.559 had said that the prostate cancer had spread to the 400 00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.839 bone after a nodule was discovered on the prostate. He 401 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.039
