The judge 11 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: didn't outright say that the brothers should be released. That 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: is a decision that's going to be left up for 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,160 Speaker 2: California's governor and the parole board.

It's 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: been the saga that has been playing out and there 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: have been a number of these docu series, particularly this 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: one that came out last year on Netflix, that have 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: been done on them, which has really brought the to 21 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: a younger generation. They have been behind bars essentially since 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, that is when they were convicted of 23 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: killing their parents inside their Ritzy Beverly Hills Mansions, and 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: the brother The brothers have always maintained that they killed 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: their parents because they feared their parents were going to 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: kill them first after years of really horrible sexual abuse 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: at the hands of their father, something that they claim 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: their mother was aware of and that they were trying 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: to keep a secret. So that has always been their claim. 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: Over the years, their family members have come out and 31 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: advocated for them, including before this decision came down, and 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, they're going to be potentially could be 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 2: released as soon as June thirteen, that is when they 34 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: are scheduled to appear before the Board of Paroles and. 35 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: Very quickly, Tony, the two hundred and ten Boeing aircraft 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: that kassan Ewise is going to get us part of 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: this deal with Trump. 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is actually the big Boeing order ever, 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: two hundred and ten Boeing airplanes that was signed as 40 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is taking this trip across the Middle East 41 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: in Kutta earlier today. You know, there was another thing 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: that they signed. This is a statement of intent that 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: could lead to thirty eight billion dollars in investments at 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: Qatar's LB Airbase, which is this vital US military hub 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: in the Middle East.
