00:00:51.340 BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.

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.

00:02:48.420 no pharmacy lines, no co-pays. Just match your symptoms to the right prescription in your

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. 0.99

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 0.75

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 0.80

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
