Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app tons to get to, especially
in bea route, will just jump into the swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Come man, gonna make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Was a bad noose.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Washington, d C.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
Hey, Joe, He's a town all too clearly built on
a swamp and in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Still a swamp. I have to watch your malarkey, boy,
he said, drain the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so Helle.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
You know the thing Israel killed a top hezbla figure.
This was a guy wanted by US for his role
in the nineteen eighty three bombings of the US embassy
in a Marine corbarrack that killed three hundred people. Ibrahim Akil,
is that how we're saying his name? A subject of
a seven million dollars State Department reward for information leading
(00:58):
to his arrest.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
This is just the latest in what has been an
absolute crazy week in Israel and Lebanon and the border
between the two. Of course, the pagers that blew up
the walkie talkies that then blew up the air strikes
from yesterday, and then this targeted air strike against this
senior Hesblah military official.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
In the eighties, as different groups vied for control of
Lebanon and a US Marine detachment was deployed as of.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Kind of a peacekeeping force.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
This guy was a top figure and has Blaw's Islamic
Jihad organization, and they took credit for that. April nineteen
eighty three bombing of the US embassy in Beirut killed
sixty three people, and the Marine Corps barracks in October
of the same year killed two hundred and forty one Americans.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Closer to home.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Just last hour, the US Secret Service came out and
described a summary of the findings what led to the
assassination attempt back in July.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
A former President Trump's.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
Important that we hold ourselves accountable for the failures of
July thirteenth, and then we used the lessons learned to
make sure that we do not have another failure like this.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Again.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
That's Ronald Rowe. He's the acting Secret Services for.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
The Secret Service to be more agile with the ability
to escalate protection to the highest levels for numerous protectees
for undetermined periods of time.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
He went on to say that there were what he
described discrepancies between the campaign and the Secret Service on
how to secure the site. In Butler, I'm not sure
why the campaign gets a say in that. He also
said the Secret Service didn't give clear instructions to the
local police agencies that were going to be responsible on
the other side of the fence, which is where the
guy eventually set up out on that AGR building. And
(02:40):
that complacency. This is the biggest thing. I think the
complacency on the part of some of the people in
the command structure led to that assassination attempt.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
They found agents failed to use technology that may have
detected this guy as he was flying a drone hours
before the event at Trump's protective detail, had no idea.
Police were frantically searching for a suspicious person until the
shots were fired into the crowd. That they never directed
the local guys to cover that nearby rooftop, even though
(03:12):
the snipers were willing to do it. That's just odd
to me too, that the snipers wouldn't identify, Hey, we
don't have anybody over there is anybody over there, somebody
go over.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
There, you know what I mean. It's just so blatantly obvious.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Well, and i'd heard today, I mean I probably had
heard it in the weeks after the original attempt. But
this kid, guy with the gunman was flying a drone
over the area before the rally started, you know, hours before,
but before the before the rally started. And the Secret
(03:47):
Service has a specific counter drone team to defend against
something like that, and they were never they weren't there
for whatever reason, or they if they were, they weren't
utilized in the hour before the rally started.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
So there's that question as well.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Who is ready for some hot government shut down talk?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Do we have our sex music?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
We do, but I don't know if I want to
play it.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, I mean, we did it to sex up the
interest rate. Oh, you're right, Congressional leaders are closing in
on a deal to avoid a potential government shutdown.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
If you're going to say it like that with that
music playing, you got to say it's slower.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, I'm not saying it's slower.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Okay, Well, then you don't get to me.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That I'm taking my ball and I'm going home.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
My sex music and I'm going home.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
This this bill, it's it's a continuing resolution, really is
what it is. Is expected to fund the government until
mid December. So again, we're just kicking the can down
the road. It's not going to include Republican's proposal to
require proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.
They say they are hoping to have text finalized this
weekend and plan to hold a House vote early next week.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Coming up later in the hour.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I love stories about how boring rich people spend their money,
and this one is a real home run.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
There is a woman, a party.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Planner so to speak, who says that she's arranging these kidnap.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Packages for the super rich.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's about a million dollars for ten people they're paying
for this, and they essentially are paying to get blindfolded
and gagged, tossed into a van and dropped into a
derelict warehouse packed with militants.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I mean. She says, it's an intense experience.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It involves dozens of actors and smoke and fog machines,
and it's wild that people are paying like crazy amounts
of money for this kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Signing yourself up for an episode of scared straight. We talked,
I have to get this in here because this is
really funny and it ties everything together that we've talked
about in the last couple of days. A few days ago,
we talked about how Gavin Newsom had signed a law
outlawing artificial intelligence potentially parody and satire when it comes
to election people are election advertisements, and I played for
(06:22):
you the the AI generated voice of Kamala Harris that
shows up in this ad, and it's very funny and
it's obviously satirical. There was somebody posted another one of
Gavin Newsom himself.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Again, this is fake. It's AI, but times. Sorry, I'll
play this.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Okay, hold on a second, I gotta get I'm gonna
go let it recharge so that it gets to the entacular.
All right, here comes this is AI, Gavin Newsome with
a statement for voters in California.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
Good evening, California. I come to you tonight to impart
a few words of wisdom upon you. First, not all
peepee times are poo poo times, but all poop poo
times are ppee times. Second, anything can if you try
hard enough. And lastly, the poop map is real and
it's spectacular.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Okay, now that was funny. I was going to play
that for you anyway. But we were just talking about
Chris collins Worth earlier and this actually came over the
talk back a few seconds ago.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You guys just gave me a major brain connection. It's
been bugging me, but now I realize why I don't
like Chris collins Well, he reminds me of Gavin.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I hadn't thought about that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Thanks, guys have a great guy.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, thank you. That's that's a great connection, right all right?
In swamp watch.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Mark Robinson is a Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina,
and CNN has come out with allegations that this guy
made several inflammatory comments on a message board of the
Nude Africa porn site more than a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I have a question, yes, you the redhead in the back.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Is this a common thing where people write messages on
porn websites? Like what messages do you write? Like oh
that was hot or what?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Who wants to hear?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What the naked dude you know the town over thinks
about the porn that you both watched, Like, what is
that a thing?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
I don't. I don't know You're you're asking the wrong.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
They talk to each other, They talk to each other
on these on these sites.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
I again, I've also not heard if Nude Africa. Just so,
just to be clear, Robinson said in a video that
he posted last night, let me reassure you the things
you will see in that story, those are not the
words of Mark Robinson. You know my words, you know
my character, and you know that I have been completely
transparent in this race and before.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I think probably the thing that bothers me more than
the porn messaging is the third person speaking in the
third person means him.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
He says, I'm not going to get into the minutia
of how some might manufacture this, these salacious tabloid lies,
but I can tell you this, There's been over a
million dollars spent on me through AI by a billionaire
son who's bound and determined to destroy me. Didn't explain
who that was. Necessarily, the Trump team obviously had originally
backed Mark Robinson had heard the story and saw that
(09:22):
it had something to do with these websites and even
the phrase black Nazi, which is apparently what he called himself.
So at this point Basically, Trump was preparing to visit
North Carolina for a rally tomorrow. He is, I mean,
he can't control himself, so he's going to say something
about this once he's in the state, and people who
(09:47):
have been watching the Trump campaign said that he'll probably
deliver a version of a comment he's made in the past,
which is he's a fan. I don't know the guy
very well, similar to what he said with Laura Lumer.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
We've talked about that earlier in the week.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I know she supports me, but I don't know anything
about the stuff that she writes online. Is a way
that he can get away from it, perhaps, So the
Matt Gates.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Story, by the way, yeah, tell me about that.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
So the latest story about Matt Gates is that there
are new papers, new legal documents that have been filed
with a Florida federal court. They cite some sealed affidavits
from three eyewitness testimonies that suggest that Gates was at
a sex party in twenty seventeen with the seventeen year
old girl who's at the center of the alleged sex
(10:33):
trafficking scandal in the first place. Now, this was a
party at the home of a guy named Chris Doorworth,
a lobbyist, a guy who knows Matt Gates, and he's
been interviewed by this ongoing civil lawsuit the Doorworth brought
in twenty twenty three. The court filing was written by
the defense attorneys who interviewed witnesses, and the lobbyist says, listen,
(10:56):
I should not be involved in any of this. He
ultimately dropped a lawsuit, but lawyers filed these documents that
we're talking about in an attempt to get some of
the attorney's fees back for a lawsuit that they say
should never have been brought.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
So it's like a couple of degrees of separation.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
But once again, these witnesses placed Matt Gates at that house,
at that party in twenty seventeen with the minor girl.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Several stories have made me want to run directly into
the shower.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
That was one of them. Just they're so gross. These
guys are so gross, right, It's like ugh.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Former President Trump was at an event in Washington aimed
at fighting anti Semitism yesterday and he said that if
he loses in November, quoting here, the Jewish people would
have a lot to do with the loss. He says
it doesn't make sense Jews who would vote for Vice
President Harris. He said, any Jewish person who votes for
her should have their head examined. I find it hard
(11:55):
to believe. Part of it is habit I think, he said.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Yeah, anybody who's Jewish and loves being Jewish and loves
Israel is a fool if they vote for a Democrat.
He said, you should have your head examined. We got
to get away from labeling giant groups like that one
way or the other. You know, Biden stepped on his
own shoelaces when he did it. You know, if you
vote for Trump, you ain't black.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh that was so cringey. This is right up there.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
And then kamal A Harris last night with Oprah Winfrey
talked about feelings as opposed to actual policies.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
You really would love.
Speaker 9 (12:27):
To know what your plan is to help lower the
cost of living. Yeah, first of all, thank you both
for being here, and yours is a story I hear
around the country as a travel and in terms of
both rightly having the right to have aspirations and dreams
(12:51):
and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding
that the American dream is for this generation and so
many recently, far more elusive than it's been. And we
need to deal with that. And there are a number
of ways. One is bringing down the cost of everyday necessities,
(13:11):
including groceries.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
M hmm, with a magic wand supplied by the people
at Hogwarts lower prices.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Don't they all have different wands at Hogwarts, Like isn't that?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Isn't that part of the thing.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
I like the wand chooses you. I think, Oh, okay, yeah,
so yes, they all use different ones. But I know
what your wand would look like. It would be. It
would be a wand and then on the top there
would be a butterfly.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
No, no, no butterflies.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
You're done with that.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Maybe a dragonhead or something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Oh, yesterday was such a strong butterfly day.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
No, no, it was imposed upon me. Ah, I didn't
call for butterflies, not one time.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, with great power comes great responsibility.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Man asked for that, No, he didn't.
Speaker 9 (14:02):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
The very old Testament Bible college alumni claim that they
were made to do free labor.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well medicus Jen wrote to me, this is well put.
She says, I've figured it out. When Kamala speaks, she
sounds like she's desperately trying to meet the word minimum
in a high school paper on a subject she knows
nothing about.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Oh, that nails it right.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
That is pretty strong. That's a strong explanation for what.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Like, you don't have to fill all of that up,
you know, you can just just.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Make your point move on.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah, and there's no you don't get extra points for
filling the space us.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Speaking of filling the space, are we going to have
Jason Nathanson on today? The only reason I ask is
because he's upset that he's going to get booted for
gas Fantasy for play. We usually do the entertainment report
with Jason at twelve twenty, but now that it's football season,
(15:00):
he's he's been booted, it seems, and now he's texting
us and he's sad.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
He liked to be on the show. Well, let me
check with producer Keana. Sure, can we do it a
next segment?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Sure, yeah, all.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Right, Well we'll get in touch with Janette then I
don't want him to be sad. Janette hotline, see if
he's available in the next segment.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
We're running out of people that want to be on
this show, so we got to keep him.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Jason Nathanson is our friend who covers entertainment for ABC
News over the Hill in Hollywood.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Janette, we follow don't play.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Don't even bother playing that thing because I feel bad
that I didn't have the schedules set up right this morning.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He was sad.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
It's not an affront to you, Jay.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I was sad.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
No, no, don't be sad.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
And I literally was toweling off because I was just
getting out of the shower when I got a text, Hey, Hey,
can you come on? So I'm I am, I am
dripping wet.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Why do we need you to know that dripping Jae?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Why did we need that information?
Speaker 10 (15:57):
I like to paint a picture for the audience so
they know well done.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You like to bring them inside. Were you the tent?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Were you jealous that Deborah Mark was naked in the
shower when the earthquake hits. So you needed to take
some of that attention away, and you needed to meet me.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
That's new information for me. So now now that I
know that, see, that's what the show is about. I'm
an old Testament guy. By the way, I'm jew right. Oh,
we do share that in common. The first five books
the pentateuke if you will.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, yeah, But Leviticus, man, he was not a happy guy.
I know he was unhappy with himself.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That there's a there's a lot, there's a lot of
anger there.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah, what is that about? What was his deal?
Speaker 10 (16:36):
And and that's why And a lot of us Jews
are angry, angry people and conflicted and a lot of
sadness and death.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's all I'm.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Gonna find out more about Leviticus.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Happy Friday, everybody. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Entertainment?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
What? Wow?
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Strong believe we got you out of the shower. Fort
of lots.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Of lots of stuff to stream. I'll start with something
that's probably a little bit more on your radar, which
is American Sports Story Aaron hernandez oh yeah, that's the
new series debut this week. The first two of ten
episodes are on the debut on FX and it's streaming
on Hulu right now. This is from Ryan Murphy. So right,
(17:23):
he does American sports story, crime story, American horror story,
of course, and he's built this into a big franchise.
My issue with this, and it's a big issue, and
I think I'm going to stop with any of these
kinds of shows. From here on out. Is just the
fact that I have no idea what's true or not
in this. I mean, you're watching it. You're watching it
and you're like, oh, I didn't know that, is that true?
(17:45):
And you go you look it up and you're.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Like, well, maybe rumors.
Speaker 10 (17:48):
His brother said that, maybe this, but we don't really
know because he is dead and we can't really so
they're they're they're ascribing all kinds of behaviors that he
had or did to certain things, whether it was a
latent homosexuality, who was trying to hide or whatever, and
we don't know if any of that is true. So
a lot of it's speculation, but it's being presented as
(18:10):
here's what happened with the Aaron Hernandez story.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And I watch it because that guy looks nothing like
Aaron Hernandez.
Speaker 10 (18:17):
See that to me isn't an issue because I don't
really know what Aaron Hernandez looks like.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I don't really remember.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
He's good though. The guy who's playing it is actually
is really good. The acting is good in it. But
you know to have to watch it with one eye
on it and the other eye on your phone scrolling
through to see what's real or not. I'm just sick
of that kind of stuff. So for me, it's a
three point two out of ten. Oh no, yeah, I can't.
I can't recommend.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I would not have picked that for you because you
kind of have to be in it or like live
through it and kind of heard the different things that
went on in the NFL and with that team and
going back to Miami and all of it to enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Well. For Okay, first of all, enjoy is a weird
word because none of that.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
It is a tragic story, but I guess it's a
tragic and fascinating story that we all lived through the headlines.
So I definitely it's it's one of those things. I
remember the headlines. I didn't really get too into the story,
but I remember being crazy and wanted to know more
about it.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
What happened here? What went so wrong with this one guy?
Speaker 10 (19:20):
And again you're being presented with this stuff that may
or may not have been the case, and that to me,
it just it's you know, I get it when there's
a conversation in a car and they're making up the
dialogue between two people.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's fine.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
I understand that you're not going to know exactly what
was said there, but when it comes to motivations and
things like that, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
So it turns out Leviticus was not a guy. Moses
wrote the Book of Leviticus.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Right, Yeah, dude, we think you thought it's all about
the tribe of Levi.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I did.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Okay, well, and listen, I'll give you that because there
are many books of the Bible that are named after
the John Paul Luke.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
But that's that's a New Testament, because they're the Gospels
Old The Old Testament's Deuteronomy and Leviticus, and you know
they're not named after the book of Job job.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, but that's some.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Of the Isaiah.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
I mean there's those Yeah, those are those are people
in stories, but they're not they're not necessarily they're.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Not the authors necessarily, right, correct?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Right, Like Isaiah is about Isaiah, but it's not written
by Isaiah.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Gosh, I'm learning so much today. This is what I've learned,
except I don't know that any of this is true.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
So I feel like it is.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Can we get Neil or someone a quick question, Jason,
And this is a procedural question. Yes, my wife and
I have decided we're going to start watching Showgun and
we're two episodes in. Okay, is it better to watch
it the way it was produced, which is in a
lot of it in Japanese with their subtitles or dubbed
into English.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I would watch it with subtitles.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
I don't like dubbing, although I do find subtitle subtitles tough,
not because you have.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
To read, but because tough it is.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
But I feel when I'm reading, I'm not watching the
pictures they made for me on the screen. I'm not
paying attention to the visual aspect so much of the show,
so I feel you lose a little something there. But
I'd rather do that than the dubbing, although dubbing has
gotten much better, but I still don't.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm not a fan of dubbing, so I would go
with subtitles.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Okay, all right, I will continue.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That's my wise answer.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Go finish drying off?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, put on some clothes for crying out loud.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I'm drying now. We got through it. I dried off
really quick, very quick.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
