00:00:57.540 Good morning, everyone. I'm Emily Jashinski, host of After Party and the Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up Show on SiriusXM Channel 111.
00:01:04.880 It's Wednesday, June 10th, 2026. This is your AM Update.
00:01:09.700 I was not surprised. You can also tell by the quick verdict that this was going to be a guilty verdict on the most serious charge.
00:01:17.020 Carmelo Anthony learns his fate after being convicted of murder, then sentenced by the jury just hours later.
00:01:23.900 Clearly people weren't taking fraud seriously.
00:01:27.020 Whether it rises to the level of a criminal violation, we're going to investigate it.
00:01:31.680 A new House oversight report accusing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison of ignoring years of fraud warnings,
00:01:39.180 now becoming the basis for a DOJ referral from Vice President J.D. Vance.
00:01:44.200 The U.S. and Iran reportedly trading fire after President Trump ordered strikes against Iran in responses to the downing of an American attack helicopter.
00:01:53.120 And Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents, Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner,
00:01:58.780 now fighting to use the inheritance they left him to help fund his defense.
00:02:04.080 All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.
00:02:10.740 If you are heading into summer without a medical emergency kit,
00:02:14.960 you are taking a risk most people don't even think about until it's too late.
00:02:19.520 Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections that last for weeks.
00:02:24.180 Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything.
00:02:27.100 And when you are traveling, finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful.
00:02:30.760 But let me tell you about the medical emergency kit from the wellness company.
00:02:35.260 It's like an urgent care and a pharmacy right at home.
00:02:38.320 It includes essential prescriptions like amoxicillin and generic Z-Pak
00:02:42.480 to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses.
00:02:45.860 No waiting for your doctor, no hours at urgent care,
00:02:48.420 no pharmacy lines, no co-pays. Just match your symptoms to the right prescription in your
00:02:53.220 guidebook or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. Start on your med sooner and feel

00:03:17.480 slash MK. Carmelo Anthony is sentenced to 35 years in prison last night by a Collin County,
00:03:25.160 Texas jury for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalfe at a high school track meet last year.
00:03:31.460 He will be eligible for parole after serving half of that sentence. The sentence coming after jurors
00:03:36.420 first convicted Anthony of murder, rejecting his claim that he stabbed Metcalfe in self-defense.
00:03:42.200 The verdict coming after less than three hours of deliberation, Anthony facing a range of
00:03:47.660 five to ninety-nine years behind bars.
00:03:50.540 We spoke to the MK True Crime show host, Dave Ehrenberg, who says the speed of the verdict
00:03:55.720 told him a lot.
00:03:57.080 I was not surprised.
00:03:58.080 You can also tell by the quick verdict that this was going to be a guilty verdict on the
00:04:03.220 most serious charge.
00:04:04.240 The evidence was really strong.
00:04:06.480 And the fact that the defendant did not take the stand, I think that was the end for him because I have never seen a self-defense claim in a murder case where the defendant did not take the stand.
00:04:21.460 After the verdict, an unusual turn. In Texas, a defendant has the option of letting the judge decide his sentence or putting that decision into the hands of the jury that just convicted him.
00:04:31.900 Anthony's defense choosing the jury.
00:04:34.240 Ehrenberg understands why the defense may have wanted to avoid leaving his fate to the judge.
00:04:38.440 The judge was a very no-nonsense, law-and-order judge who asked questions that were pushing the boundaries,
00:04:46.940 like trying to ask people if they believed in American exceptionalism.
00:04:51.540 And that's the kind of judge I can understand a defense lawyer may not want to be the one to choose the sentence.
00:04:57.820 During the sentencing phase yesterday, the defense calling Anthony's mother to the stand, where she tearfully pled for mercy, telling jurors her son has shown remorse.
00:05:07.100 Ehrenberg believes that kind of testimony can matter to a jury.
00:05:09.700 I think it's powerful for a mother to plead for mercy from a jury and to say that her son is remorseful, even though her son did not testify.
00:05:20.740 I think it's powerful, but it's also powerful that the jury heard the evidence of this senseless, brutal killing.
00:05:27.820 So it's hard to know which way the jury is going to go.
00:05:30.620 But I think on the whole, because he didn't have a lot of witnesses at this sentencing,
00:05:35.560 it was a very cursory sentencing phase that the defendant's mother, I think, will have
00:05:42.320 an impact.
00:05:43.020 And I think that's why this jury, I believe, as opposed to the judge, is going to give
00:05:48.560 him decades in prison.
00:05:50.340 But I do think he'll get a chance to get out before he's elderly.
00:05:55.100 We will have more on this later today on the MK Show.
00:05:59.980 Vice President J.D. Vance escalating the Trump administration's fraud fight in Minnesota,
00:06:04.960 referring Governor Tim Walz and State Attorney General Keith Ellison, both Democrats, to the
00:06:09.460 DOJ for possible criminal investigation. The vice president saying the referral is based on a new
00:06:14.740 report from the Republican-led House Oversight Committee, accusing senior Minnesota officials
00:06:19.500 of knowing about widespread fraud in federally funded social programs for years, while failing
00:06:25.020 to stop payments to suspect providers and allegedly retaliating against whistleblowers.
00:06:30.440 The report released earlier this week, now the latest development in a scandal consuming
00:06:35.060 Minnesota politics for months, after viral reporting helped bring national attention
00:06:39.340 to fraud allegations across the state's social services system.
00:06:43.420 The Fed's so far prosecuting and convicting dozens, mostly members of Minnesota's Somali
00:06:48.000 community relating to three major schemes, a meals program for needy children called
00:06:53.080 Feeding Our Future, a program for individuals at risk of homelessness, and an autism therapy
00:06:58.820 program.
00:06:59.920 The scale of the alleged fraud, believed to be at least $9 billion in plundered taxpayer
00:07:05.060 dollars, drug such immense backlash, Governor Walz in January suspending his re-election
00:07:10.140 campaign.
00:07:11.340 In March, Governor Walz and A.G.
00:07:13.000 Ellison called to testify before the House Oversight Committee at a hearing titled Oversight
00:07:17.980 of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota, Part 2. At that hearing, Republican Congressman
00:07:24.120 Brandon Gill of Texas pressing the governor on allegations that whistleblowers were discouraged
00:07:29.160 from raising concerns about fraud because officials feared accusations of racism or
00:07:33.880 Islamophobia. Is it racist for a government official to identify fraud? No. No. Is it
00:07:41.400 Islamophobic? To identify fraud? To identify fraud? No, I don't believe it would be. How come
00:07:47.640 multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told them not to say anything
00:07:51.940 about widespread fraud across multiple agencies because doing so would be considered racist or
00:07:57.640 Islamophobic? I can't speak to it because it's not anything I would say. And then we heard from
00:08:03.200 Representative Kristen Robbins, quote, we have dozens of credible whistleblower reports saying
00:08:07.420 the exact same thing that people were told not to say anything because they'd be called racist
00:08:12.060 or Islamophobic, or it would hurt the state. Do you think it's racist or Islamophobic to
00:08:17.400 highlight and try to stop fraud? It is not, and I certainly wouldn't know.
00:08:21.660 It's not, but that was the message your administration was sending to multiple
00:08:25.140 whistleblowers. Mr. Vance writing on X, quote, Minnesota state officials are not above the law,
00:08:30.800 and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimidated
00:08:35.820 whistleblowers, they must face justice. Mr. Vance, Monday on Fox, addressing the referral.
00:08:42.060 We are not going to do what the Biden administration did and make judgments of the law before all the facts are in.
00:08:48.420 But here's what's particularly troubling about this to me is, Jesse, you had people within Governor Walz's office who were saying, you know what, this looks like fraud.
00:08:58.280 It looks like these Somalian illegal immigrants are doing something that's very shady.
00:09:03.080 And then you had people who shut them down, who shut these whistleblowers down and said, you know, you're a racist or you're a xenophobe for asking questions about where taxpayer money is going.
00:09:13.580 What that means to me, Jesse, is that clearly people weren't taking fraud seriously, whether it rises to the level of a criminal violation.
00:09:22.340 We're going to investigate it. And of course, if it does rise to that level, we're going to prosecute it. We have to.
00:09:27.800 Governor Walsh and A.G. Ellison pushing back hard, a Walsh spokesperson referring to an
00:09:32.180 earlier statement from the governor, quote, this committee has proven time and time again
00:09:35.980 to be nothing more than a joke.
00:09:37.920 A.G. Ellison releasing a statement to CNN, quote, it is deeply troubling to see official
00:09:42.120 powers and public resources diverted away from serving the people and instead aimed
00:09:47.140 at pursuing political adversaries.
00:09:48.980 That is not what government is for, and it diminishes public trust in our institutions.
00:09:53.780 For now, the referral does not mean charges are coming.
00:09:56.500 Rather, the Justice Department has been asked to review the allegations
00:09:59.500 and will decide whether there is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation,
00:10:03.800 pursue charges, or decline to move forward.
00:10:07.640 Coming up, Iran launching missiles and drones at U.S. targets in the region
00:10:11.660 after President Trump ordered retaliatory strikes against the regime
00:10:15.220 over the downing of an American attack helicopter.
00:10:17.960 And Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents, Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner,
00:10:23.520 now asking the court to let him use the money they left behind to help pay for his defense.

00:11:54.920 The U.S. announcing new attacks on Iran yesterday
00:11:57.740 in response to the downing of an American Apache attack helicopter.
00:12:01.880 Iran then launching missiles and drones toward U.S. targets in the region last night,
00:12:05.780 according to CNN.
00:12:07.360 CENTCOM, in a statement referring to the latest round of U.S. strikes as, quote,
00:12:11.140 self-defense strikes, noting they began at 5 p.m. Washington time at Mr. Trump's direction,
00:12:16.580 calling them, quote, a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression. The AH-64 Apache
00:12:23.660 downed late Monday by an Iranian drone while on patrol near the coast of Oman. Two soldiers were
00:12:29.480 aboard the craft, which does not have ejection seats at the time. CENTCOM saying both crew
00:12:34.680 members were rescued within about two hours and are now in stable condition. President Trump first
00:12:40.120 confirming the crew survived as he returned to Washington overnight, telling reporters,
00:12:44.020 quote, the pilots are fine, nobody injured. Then Tuesday morning, the president escalating his
00:12:48.780 language on True Social, writing, quote, I have just been informed by our great military that
00:12:53.240 last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while
00:12:57.840 patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. The United States must of necessity respond to this attack.
00:13:03.840 Iran, meanwhile, not directly taking responsibility. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas
00:13:08.420 Sirachi, posting to X, quote, foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk
00:13:14.240 on account of their own human errors, plane accidents, or potentially being caught in
00:13:19.100 crossfire. To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave. Prior to the U.S. strikes,
00:13:24.860 Iran's parliamentary vice speaker threatening an even broader escalation, warning that any
00:13:29.620 American military response to the Apache incident would put Gulf energy infrastructure under
00:13:33.880 continuous Iranian missile fire and could cost U.S. oil, gas, and regional interests, quote,
00:13:39.260 for years. The fragile pause in fighting now facing its most serious test yet as President
00:13:44.200 Trump attempts to keep alive the possibility of a broader peace deal. Nick Reiner, son of famed
00:13:51.120 Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer Reiner, is now fighting for access to the
00:13:55.580 inheritance they left behind as he stands accused of killing them. Nick charged with stabbing both
00:14:00.960 of his parents to death inside their Brentwood mansion in December after what witnesses described
00:14:05.780 as a disturbing night out with the family. That night, Nick had reportedly gone with his parents
00:14:10.300 to a holiday party hosted by Conan O'Brien, where the New York Times reports witnesses say Rob and
00:14:15.660 Nick got into a loud argument. The following day, Rob Reiner's daughter Romy reportedly finding her
00:14:21.680 father's body after a massage therapist said no one was answering the gate for a scheduled
00:14:25.880 appointment. Paramedics arriving to find Michelle dead as well. Police arresting Nick later that
00:14:31.780 same evening, prosecutors charging Nick with two counts of first-degree murder with a special
00:14:36.700 circumstance of multiple murders, an enhancement allowing prosecutors to seek life without parole
00:14:41.680 or the death penalty. Nick also charged with a special allegation of using a dangerous and
00:14:46.900 deadly weapon, that being the knife he allegedly used to stab his parents to death. According to
00:14:51.820 documents viewed by the Daily Mail, Nick now filing a court petition demanding access to a
00:14:56.440 trust set up by his parents prior to their grisly murders. The full trust is worth more than one and
00:15:02.380 a half million dollars, according to the petition, with the terms calling for Nick to receive half
00:15:06.480 when he turned 30 and the rest when he turns 35. Nick, now 32, arguing that he has yet to receive
00:15:12.360 any of the money from the trust, according to People magazine. The petition reportedly claiming
00:15:16.640 that, quote, months of repeated injuries to the trustee reported by the Daily Mail to be lawyer
00:15:21.180 Paul Canan, have produced a, quote, shifting series of excuses, including what Nick's lawyers
00:15:26.340 call unsubstantiated concerns about his ability to manage the money. According to People, Nick's
00:15:31.740 lawyers argue the trust does not allow the trustee to withhold the payment based on his own assessment
00:15:36.400 of how Nick might use the funds. The petition also asserting, quote, there is no judicial
00:15:41.640 declaration that Nick is incompetent, nor has he been determined to lack capacity by the written
00:15:47.060 statement of two licensed physicians. The Daily Mail reporting Nick also claims Kanan indicated
00:15:52.860 he would not be able to access the trust money until after the murder case is resolved.
00:15:58.460 According to the petition, Nick telling Kanan that, quote, time is of the essence,
00:16:02.840 arguing the money is needed to keep Alan Jackson on his defense team and avoid further damaging
00:16:07.180 his criminal case. The high-profile lawyer exiting the case in January, but Page Six reporting court
00:16:12.820 documents show he is willing to return to the case if Reiner can again pay his fees. Nick facing a
00:16:18.980 maximum of life in prison without parole as prosecutors weigh whether to seek the death
00:16:23.260 penalty. The MK True Crime show host Dave Ehrenberg says there's one major legal issue
00:16:28.880 working against Nick, California's Slayer rule. There's something called the Slayer rule. This is
00:16:35.660 something that needs to be taken into account. California has this rule, just like most other
00:16:42.100 states that prevent someone from inheriting the state of someone they killed. And so the trustee
00:16:48.620 is understandably exercising real caution here, because if Reiner was convicted, the trust could
00:16:56.720 be in violation of these laws. And you got to be careful about this. So there are some legitimate
00:17:03.740 questions. And there's just some basic questions of morality. Should we allow someone to use the
00:17:09.840 victims' money to buy the best lawyer that money can buy so that they could turn around
00:17:16.380 and point the finger at the victims as a way to get away with murder.
00:17:21.260 But here's the hard reality. Nick has not been convicted. We asked whether Ehrenberg
00:17:26.300 thinks he will be successful in getting access to the inheritance.
00:17:29.940 That's a tough one. I think he probably gets access to the money. I think it's not good
00:17:35.900 public policy. And I think the trustee is right to express reservations, but I think he probably
00:17:40.960 gets access to it because the trustee, assuming that the trust says what it says, and it doesn't
00:17:48.540 have an exception for what happens if you kill your parents. And I think then he probably gets
00:17:54.720 access to it, but I wouldn't be that surprised if the family members went out and they're able
00:18:01.060 to prevent him because it's like the old adage of the young man who kills both his parents and
00:18:08.820 throws himself under the mercy of the court because he's an orphan yeah you you you made
