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.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's great about the first thing the beach, first thing
in the morning like that, is that all of the
footprints from everybody else are gone.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
From last it's just you and Jesus. When he carries you,
it's me. It's just those two two sets of Jesus
or God, and it's just one in the poem, it's
Jesus Jesus.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And then and then you turn around and you go,
why was there only one set of footba he was
carrying you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In your tough time exactly, You're damn right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He slaps you on the side of the head and
he says, that's when I was carrying you, you moron.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do we have the trumpets of Jesus?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We do. I think they still work here. We play
them if you want to.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Jesus a little over modulated. Okay, it's better now, I'm sorry. Hey,
what's with the toilet paper?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay? Listen?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Why are people obsessed with hoarding toilet paper? We had
a doc workers strike for what four days, three days
and a half, something like that, and my brother says
to me yesterday, the isle of toilet paper is completely
empty at the market. People have lost their minds.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Why do we go.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Straight for the toilet paper?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Why do we need so much toilet paper?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And are you so low on toilet paper regularly that
that's the time that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How many squares do you use?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
How many do I use?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm usually about twelve, somewhere between twelve and.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Fifty twelve and fifteen. That's wasteful. You do not not
what's going on down? Mayre?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
What are you talking about? A square?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Twelve to fifteen squares?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Birder?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
How many squares do you use? Twelve to fifteen?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Matter? Disgusting?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I use like four squares?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Girl? You dirty.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The big deal that's going on right now and we're
waiting for this news conference to start from LA City Hall,
is that Mayor Bass and the Police commissioned President are
expected to announce the next chief of the LAPD. Of
different outlets have already reported, as have we, that it
will be Jim McDonald.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Well done, excellent choice. I love Jim McDonald. He knows
Los Angeles. He has an extensive history with the Sheriff's Department.
That'll be interagency cooperation. It'll be wonderful cops.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Cop.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yes, I mean that's kind of the impression that I've
always got.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
We're not having an administrative guy come be chief of
the LAPD. We're having somebody who has both. He's got
experience in the line of duty, he's got experience in administration,
and he can walk that line.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
My first impressions from him were when he was assistant
chief under Bratton. Yes, when Bill Bratton was the chief
of the LAPD and a lot of the things that
had to be done fell onto Jim McDonald as the
assistant chief. So, like you said, he's got the experience.
He's been working at USC for the last couple of years.
He did run unsuccessfully for sheriff. But I mean, this
is a guy who I think the only surprise about
(02:56):
it he was considered pretty much the leading contender. The
only surprise about is that is a white guy. And
I think a lot of people are making bones about
the fact that they were expecting Karen Bass to appoint
either of one.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I love that she didn't, you know, I love that
she didn't as a woman of color. She chose the
white guy with experience, the guy who should have the job,
and it's great.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Think about what he's got coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Not only is he taking over an LAPD that is
understaffed and has been chronically for a very long time,
he's got the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Coming up, He's got the Olympic Games coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean, that's that's just four years away for the
for the Olympics in the city of Los Angeles. I mean, granted,
they'll be stretched out around many parts, but the LAPD
is obviously going to play a major role when it
comes to organizing security and things like that. So the
at this point have not started this news conference again.
It is going to start somewhere in City Hall KFI.
(03:52):
Steve Gregory is there. He's been covering the story and
following this selection for chief, and he's going to join
us a little bit later in the show once he
gets a chance to to listen to it, to the
news conference and potentially even talk to the new chief
before he comes on.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Very peaceful, isn't It's got the tasty waves. It's overcast.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Can we just we could do this every Friday?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
We could? We should, Honestly, we should just hang out
in our flip flops and our hoodies.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Berts down for it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Bert's down for it. He's got a bear claw, but
no steak.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Who just just post up in one of these lifeguard stations.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh yeah, Well, we've got the remote unit. We could
probably broadcast from anywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, we've I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Got internet access? That's important, is it? Did you watch
the football game last night?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, but I didn't see the end of it a minute.
I know. Wait, well, I was on a flight, so
I missed the whole overtime comeback situation. I read about
it this morning. I was in the air in Southwest
had no Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't know, because I didn't ask questions though.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I tried to pay for it, but it was not available.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was a great It started out as a barn burner.
I mean it was.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I saw the beginning four or five in the first half.
I saw the first half, and that's yeah, it was.
It was a lot of fun. It was a very fun,
fun game to accering Kirk Cousins. I mean, I love
those stories, both of their stuff. Both of their stories
are great.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Kirk Cousins over five hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, that's what Kirk Cousins does.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The other big deal today the dock workers agreed to
a tenant, a deal on wages that extended their existing
contract through the middle of January so that they can
work out all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Specifically, the ocean is that nature.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's the sand fleas that have started crawling about your body,
so so they move now ends this strike along the
East Coast and Gulf Coast, so you can sell your
toilet paper back to Costco. Also, unemployment news that came
out today, job gains increased by the most in six
months last month, so the unemployment rate fell down to
(05:55):
four point one percent, better than expected increase. When it
comes to the non farm payrolls, everybody knows the non
farm payrolls.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Are where it's at.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Closely watched employment report also showed that the economy did
add seventy two thousand more jobs in July.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And August than previously estimated.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So let's go to it looks like they are going
to start this news conference there in the city Hall,
and Jacob, if you haven't dialed up, we'll go ahead
and listen to it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Making an announcement to make all of Los Angeles Safer.
We are first going to hear from the President of
the Los Angeles Police Commission, Doctor Earl Southers. Following that
we'll hear from Mayor Bass, and following that we'll hear
from the next Chief of.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Police, Jim McDonald.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
After remarks, I'll take questions from the side and I
just want to make sure everybody has background materials as
well as a press release that has been passed out.
I see some thumbs up with that will get started,
Doctor Southers.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So thank you, Zach, Good morning everyone, Thank you all
for being here for this historic moment. Today is the
culmination of a nationwide search for the finest leader to
serve and protect the people of Los Angeles. Sent to
lead the department, say, the finest police department in the world.
(07:14):
The chief of Police essentially the CEO of the department
that makes the Los Angeles Police Commission akin to the
department's board of Directors, and one of our most essential
duties is helping to lead the selection process that brought
us here today.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
This process included.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
A recruiting firm, the city's personnel department, my fellow commissioners,
and the Commission's staff, and input from the community leaders
and the Los Angeles residents. I want to thank you
for all participating in this monumental decision for our city.
As a body, our Commission stands with Mayor Baths and
(07:51):
her firm commitment to reducing crime, growing the Los Angeles
Police Department, improving officer morale, and building the future of
public safety here in Los Angeles so that every Angelino
feels safe and is safe in their neighborhoods, and today's
announcement surges us forward towards those commitments. We also share
(08:12):
Mamabass's book Relief that the trust between law enforcement and
the people they're charged to protect and serve is an
essential pillar in democracy, and I know that trust will
become stronger after today. On behalf of the Board of
Police Commissioners, I'd like to thank Mayor Bass for her confidence, patience,
(08:33):
and support during this process. I commend her decision to
appoint Jim MacDonald as chief, and I'm grateful for his
willingness to serve. Chief McDonald understands the need to embrace
the guardian mindset, both within the department and with the public.
I've spoken with many people who've worked with him during
his career, and the descriptions I hear have consistently included honest, seasoned,
(08:58):
and a man of integrity. These are essential leadership traits
who will need to continue to transform the department while
addressing the near and far challenges we will face in
the coming years. Thank you all for being here, and
thank you Mare for your support.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
So good morning everyone. First, let me begin by thanking
Chief Dominique Choi. I want to I want to thank
Chief Joy and your experience and steady leadership have been
(09:35):
invaluable to me and to all of Los Angeles. I
also want to recognize you, Chief Joy for your more
than twenty years of service to our city, and I'm
grateful that you will continue. You're not going anywhere. You
will continue to serve in a role as assistant Chief
every day. You and every officer of the LAPD pin
(09:58):
on that badge and Angelinos from harm and we thank
you all for your service. From the beginning, I have
been clear my top priority of s mayor is to
ensure that Angelinos in our neighborhoods are safer today than yesterday.
Simply put, public safety is job number one and it's
(10:21):
personal for me. I spent years treating patients at Los
Angeles County Emergency Room. I saw the consequences of crime
up close.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I saw the devastation.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
The gunshot, wounds, knives, and fists did to people's bodies,
and I saw the impact on the families left to
pick up the pieces that inspired my work as a
community organizer to prevent crime in the first place, and
it continues to drive me today. Today we are making
sure that Los Angeles has the right leader in place,
(10:56):
and I will make sure that the LAPD and our
new leader has the support that is needed to build
toward the future of public safety in the nation's second
largest city and to prepare Los Angeles for what's ahead
to welcome the world to our city. So, therefore, to
(11:17):
reduce crime and make La safer by growing and strengthening
the LAPD, building up community relations, and ensuring that our
city is prepared, I have selected Jim McDonald to serve
as the fifty ninth Chief of Police of the Los
Angeles Department. Chief McDonald is one of America's finest police professionals.
(11:50):
He graduated from our own police academy at the age
of twenty one and rose through the LAPD ranks to
become the first assistant chief. He was appointed as chief
of Police in Long Beach and elected to serve as
the Sheriff of La County. Chief McDonald is a nationally
recognized thought leader on public safety, which is why he
(12:13):
was appointed to serve as director of USC's Price School
of Public Policies Safe Communities Institute.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Chief McDonald is.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
A leader, an innovator, and a change maker, and that's
what we need in LA. I'm appointing Chief McDonald because
he and I have aligned in our desire to change
the direction of Los Angeles by preventing crime in the
first place, responding urgently when crime takes place, and to
(12:44):
hold people accountable and.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Bring down crime.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Together, we will grow and strengthen LAPD. We will achieve
this by recruiting and hiring new officers and by improving
officer morale to keep officers on the job and on
the front lines. And we will deploy more officers on
the street by modernizing LAPD's technology and cutting old fashioned bureaucracy. Together,
(13:13):
McDonald and I will also strengthen relationships with the community.
The community and our officers should always be allies in
keeping our neighborhoods safe. Different strategies we know are required
for different neighborhoods, and Chief McDonald understands the complexity of
Los Angeles. LA is an international gateway. We are the
(13:37):
nation's second largest city. This is earthquake country, and we're
hosting the twenty twenty six World Cup and the twenty
twenty eight Olympic and Para Olympic Games. After visiting France
and seeing the Games, the magnitude of what LA needs
to prepare for is crystal clear to me. I trust
(14:00):
that Jim McDonald will make sure that we are prepared
and vigilant for anything that comes our way. This day
is the cumbination of a national search for the right
leader to partner with me and the officers of the
LAPD to reduce crime and take LA in a new direction,
to transform the department, to prepare for the world and
(14:24):
to keep Angelino's safe every day. I want to thank
Jim's family, Kathy, Megan and Alex who are here with
us today.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Assistant Chief LAPD, Chief of Police in Long Beach, elected
by the people of Los Angeles County to serve as
the sheriff, is now returning home to LA to serve
as the fifty ninth Chief of Place, Jimmy Dunn.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's all yous.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Thank you, oh certainly, thank you very very much, Mayor
Bass for your confidence. I can say during my tenure
across LA County's three major policing agencies, I've had the
opportunity to work with many many mayors and Mayor Bass,
your efforts on public safety reflect thoughtful, compassionate, and solution
(15:37):
oriented approaches to policing, and we're thankful for that. You've
attended more role calls than maybe any other mayor in
the city's history, and your engagement has not gone unnoticed.
I greatly appreciate your confidence in me, and I look
forward to working closely with you to make Los Angeles
a safer city each day. I'm joined here today by
my wife Kathy, my daughter Megan and her husband, and Alex.
(16:00):
My daughter Kelly and her husband Nick and their family
are on the East Coast, but are here in spirit.
I began the LAPD Academy forty three years ago, and
I pause when I say that because I just can't
wrap my head around that that is a long time.
I love this city and I understand the modern day
challenges our officers face in trying to protect it. To
(16:22):
our LAPD officers, I thank you. You answer the call,
you perform your duties with dignity, and you hold each
other to the highest professional standards. Standing before you hit
today is a dream realized. It's a tremendous honor to
lead the men and women of the LAPD. We will
work hard to make sure that you are supported with
(16:43):
your work to be able to keep all Angelinos safe.
In simplest terms, my goals are to enhance public safety,
to grow our department back to full strength through a
solid recruitment and retention campaign. To strengthen public trust, the
founder of all we do. To further develop community relationships
(17:04):
and to be able to take that to new levels.
To ensure respectful and constitutional policing practices.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
In all that we do.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
And to prepare our organization in our partner agencies for
the many challenges that face us ahead. As I prepare
to take this role, I bring with me a comprehensive
understanding of public safety from law enforcement, academic and business perspectives.
In the next five years, the eyes of the world
will be honest. Los Angeles will host the World Cup.
(17:34):
It will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We will
host a Super Bowl and an NBA All Star Game.
Our department will and our city will be showcased, and
we will be prepared. What a great opportunity that is
for all of us in LA. I look forward forward
to working with Chief Choi and again, thank you, Chief Choice.
(17:54):
Probably the happiest guy here today, and I think the
entire are LAPD team UH for all that's been all
that's been done, and all that we will do together
to make Los Angeles an even safer city and to
make every member our of our department proud of our organization.
I know that Mayor Bass is committed to making Los
(18:16):
Angeles a safer city each day, and we'll support our efforts,
and I'm thankful for that. The reason I'm here today
is because I believe in her commitment. We will face
our challenges together. To those considering a career in public safety,
I say, join us to build a safer Los Angeles.
This is a time of great challenge, but a time
(18:37):
of tremendous opportunity. Thank you again, Mayor Bass, for this,
this honor, and this privilege.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I'm indebted to you.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Good talking person tomorrow to bar from the second to.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Day with La Times Mario. Oh yeah, usure. I know
this has been a month long process and I guess
the reports there came.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
From our No.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I don't think that that would be accurate to say.
I think that first of all, the firms searched nationally,
we had several candidates from other city, and we had
internal candidates, and I don't think that it would be
accurate to say that anybody was an automatic frontrunner.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Esportunately and then farm Cbs for the last several weeks
or from where in the department were very intitive and
greet We heard from kil Ava you Grew who we
were very supportive, Bob Marders another finalists. Just this morning
I heard from somebody who who says it is very
concerned about under representations with here was the city management
(19:45):
and said for me, I don't know what you know
it's going to do to get break.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
In this county.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Where do you say to those pros?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Well, first of all, let me just start at the
issue of the chief of police. Our city has a
lot of work to do to prepare to welcome the world.
To me, what is most important, as I said, from
the beginning is to keep the city safe. We need it,
and I feel very confident in one of the top
(20:14):
law enforcement professionals in our country who is willing to
come back to the department and lead us in a
time when the department internally needs to be transformed. The
city needs to feel safe, and we need to prepare
to welcome the world. And I feel very strong and
confident in that decision. My whole life has been about inclusion,
(20:36):
and one thing that I do very deliberately and very
assertively is to make sure that there is representation everywhere.
I think there's work that needs to be done in
the LAPD. I have spent the last few months visiting
almost every station and meeting with officers. There's a lot
that needs to be done. I will continue to pay
attention to representation, particularly with the Latino population, which we
(21:01):
know is half of the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
It's hard study jest at all, and you listed on
your hoofing building public trust.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You talk to us a little bit about the challenges
you've seen in this area and some of the set
local cha.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Thank you for that question. Critically important to the LAPD,
but every police organization in America. We've been through a
very rough period of time and we're looking to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Move past that. The way to move past that is.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
To re engage with the community in a different way,
maybe than we have traditionally. One that we talk about partnership, collaboration, transparency, inclusion.
One that we can work together with our communities to
make them safer. When you think and you look across
this country, there are about eight hundred thousand police officers
in America serving a population of what three hundred and
(21:54):
thirty million people. When you do the math on that,
that's less than one third of one percent of our
popular is in charge with protecting everyone else. That's physically
not possible to be able to do without that partnership,
without the community getting involved, without the community realizing that
they have a role in public safety as well. So
I will go out, we will talk to everybody who
(22:16):
will listen, We will engage, and I will listen to
the concerns of every community in this city. And to
be able to look across our country within policing for
best practices elsewhere, to be able to take back to
us what works elsewhere and try it out, be able
to share what we have that's working with others, and
to be able to move forward in a manner that
we can look back on and say, you know what
(22:38):
we did all we could and we're happy with the results.
That's my goal to be able to say that down
the road.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Thank you question is Carlos and more will always honor,
thank you.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
All Right, we're going to pull away from here. We
will monitor all the questions, bring you the person and information.
We need to talk about toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Over and over again. We don't need to talk about
we do.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Let me just We've got a lot of feedback and
I want to I want everyone to feel comfortable with
their toilet paper usage.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Everybody's different.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Everybody told me you can I say that, Yeah, you
wipe three times, Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
No it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I don't know what kind of disaster area you're cleaning up.
But I let me feel like that's too many times.
I feel like twice is good, Like you make one
pass and you make another pass. Will he is a
little overcap.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
To your point, as long as it's clean, what do
you care?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't and I whatever you're doing is working because
I've never smelled any to try to sign you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
So a quick note before.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We get into some of those, because I didn't believe
that actually people would call in, but they like those messages.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
On the tar.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
People love to talk about their output.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
The big deal today, of course, locally, is that Jim
McDonald has been chosen to be the new LAPD chief.
We're going to be talking with Steve Gregory a little
bit later in the show more about what Jim McDonald
brings to the lap well.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And they made a big point in the press conference
out of this was a nationwide search. We didn't just
pluck this guy from our backyard where he's been for
years and years and years. That they did do a
whole search across the country and the recruitment effort was unparalleled.
He talked about getting the public trust back, and I
(24:20):
think that was such a good message because that's what
police officers need to hear right now. Police officers put
a badge on, they put their life on the line,
and they get blasted for it. There's no respect for
the police department right now, unfortunately, and it's been this
way for eight years or so, and it's awful. And
the fact that the levels are so low it's not
(24:41):
a shock because they're not being appreciated for what they're doing.
So his whole message about building back public trust, working
on community relationships, practicing respectful and constitutional policing, he hit
all the notes correctly, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And for the men and women of the department, I mean,
I guess we'll hear in the next couple of days
the ability for however freely that they want to speak
about this. But this is not an administrator. He obviously
does have administrative experience, but he's also held just about
every position you can in the LAPD and other agency, and.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
That makes people listen to you. It's like a football coach, right,
If you haven't played, you're not going to have as
much credence right.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Anyway, So Jim McDonnell again will be the new chief
of the LAPD. A couple other stories that we'll get
to a little bit later include the dock workers. You
see that yacht out there, Yeah, that's the guy who
is the international president of the International Longshoreman's Association.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Honey, you see that dinghy out there, that's where he
would live.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No, No, he's got a yacht. He makes a million
dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know, but he doesn't like to show it. He
likes to present trashy.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Unless he's driving his Bentley.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Does he have a Bentley?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
He also has a Bentley?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Really wow?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
He does just fine.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
This woman is living her life, by the way.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Well, she came by earlier and she's.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Wearing red, white and blue. She's got a hat on.
She's dancing to the music.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
No shoes, baby, No, no shoes.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Gotta keep them feet dirty, pick and dirty. Here's just
a sampling. How come I stopped playing?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, hook me up with some toilet.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know why it's not playing. I can't get
it to play. Well, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
What do you mean it's not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I don't know. It ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Hit the hit this you just you just asked me
if I did you turn it on?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is it on? I can't believe you just did that.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
We're gonna have to play some of that. Jacob can
probably get me fix Jacobs like I hate you right now.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're we'll bring those to you.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Also, it is a Friday, which means, of course, what
you learned this week on the Gary.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Schil about the fruit fly Frankly about the size of
the brain.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
One hundred and forty thousand neurons. How many does a
human being have?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Not that many?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Eighty five billion?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh yeah, I don't have that.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No, you're in the high forties. Maybe I wouldn't say
eighty five billion. Other big story today is this accusation
that Garth Brooks is the target of He's accused of
sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit from a woman
who worked not just for him.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
But also for his wife, Tricia Yearwood.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
So I wouldn't give any weight to this because he's
been famous for so long and we have not seen
any of this smoke before. But there's something that comes
across it. And don't get me wrong, I love Garth Brooks.
He was the first country artist that made me fall
in love with country music. But there's something about Garth
Brooks where Garth Brooks really loves Garth Brooks to where
(27:37):
I kind of give this some weight more than I
would if it was just a out of nowhere allegation
against somebody else famous.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because his personality is one that would assume he has
certain rights and privileges.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yes, you can take whatever you want when you want it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
This complaint was filed in state court here in California yesterday,
states that this the incident that this woman accuses him
of occurred back in twenty nineteen. She says that once
she was raped by Garth Brooks during a work trip
in LA. That he also had blocked or tried to
block this lawsuit by filing a previous complaint in Mississippi.
(28:19):
I think out of it to try to get ahead
of it. Come out, and he basically says this is
a shakedown. She has been trying for years to get
him to write a check for millions of dollars to
keep her quiet, and he says that that he'll fight
all of these accusations.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The woman worked for Tricia Yearwood first.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, and then I guess was then hired, of course
by Garth Brooks to do hair and makeup and stuff
for some of his appearances.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
She says it was May twenty nineteen, flew on a
private jet with Brooks to LA for a Grammy tribute
to Sam Moore. She says Brooks booked them into the
same hotel room where he raped her. Now she was
helpless to move from his grip and terrified at what
was happening to her. Here's where I'm going to get
into trouble. But I will get into trouble. If you're
(29:06):
going on a business trip with your boss or a
coworker or anyone, and they book you into the same
hotel room, do not make entrance to same hotel room.
Demand your own room. That is why would you think
that that was gonna be a healthy working relationship environment.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
There's no way. The only cat Like when we went to.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The convention and I say we could stay in an airbnb,
you were like, no, We're staying in a hotel. I'm
not living with you. You put your foot down the cab.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
The cab I just don't want to see what a
kind of a mess you.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Make in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Well, at least we wouldn't blow through all the toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
We The thing about the room that I thought of
yesterday when I saw that description was what if I
mean it's Garth Brooks. He's getting He's not getting a
single queen size bed in a motel six.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's getting a huge Yeah, but you still I don't
care what how big is. You don't stay with somebody.
I think it sounds to me like he was banging her.
But it was consensual? What just but it was well,
she agreed to stay in the same hotel room. There's
probably some banging going on.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think, if anything, I would lean towards it was
a consensual sexual relationship. He didn't want to continue it.
She got pissed and threatened to sue for the rape.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Wells, it is one of those things where we will
obviously have to follow this. I guess we'll have to
because it's Garth Brooks for one thing. Well, we're live
today in Huntington Beach and if you happen to be
out or headed out to see the Pacific Air Show today,
it starts in just a few minutes and the sun
is actually starting to burn through the clouds.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Perfect timing, by the way.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I don't know if that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We'll be out here in the strong clouds until one
o'clock about cover.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Really, you know what the beach is like.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It starts starts like this and clears up, and it's
gonna beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's gonna be wonderful. It's only it's supposed to be
about seventy three degrees today. We won't be swamp ass.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Good because we don't have the toilet paper that you're
concerned about.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'm not concerned about.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Figure this out, and I don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Toilet paper and security the way you do. We are
on the sand and having a great time overcast skies,
which makes it nice and comfortable watching the tasty waves
roll in. The planes are going to start in oh
about thirty minutes or so. We're going to have a
bunch of guests that have bigger, more testicular fortitude than
(31:30):
we usually have on not to I did Mark Jason
or anyone else.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I did my my flight.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yes, you got a ride on a really cool plane.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I flew it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're okay?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
For there was a time there I was the one
in control of it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yes, yeah, I know. That's very cool. It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Cool, given you think it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I do think it happened. I don't think you like,
actually flew the plane. If you get into a plane
and you take it off and I didn't land it,
that's kind of what I'm impressed with.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But I did a barrel roll.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That's cool, Okay, seek's cool.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Good, you're right. I like that. Locally.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
The big news, of course, La former La sheriff, former
assistant chief to the LAPD, former chief of the Long
Beach PD, Jim McDonald has been named the new chief
of the Los Angeles Police Department. We are going to
get a hold of Steve Gregory. He was down at
that news conference a short time ago, and when he
gets a chance, he's going to give us a call
(32:28):
and we're going to talk more about what that means
for the LAPD going forward. The assumed successor to hes
Belaw's leader, Hassan Asraala, was the target of another Israeli
air strike that killed some other of the terror leaders overnight.
No confirmation yet as to whether or not Hashem Safi
had been nailed. It was the target of the strike
(32:50):
that hit overnight. We do know he was the target,
I should say, we don't know if he in fact
was killed. So at this point it's hard to be
the number two guy in Hesbalah because that's immediately got
a target on your back.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Would you like a good story?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Do we have good story music.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't know if I'm going to be able to
get this thing to work today.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
But already you played the trumpets of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I know, but that doesn't mean that it's going to continue.
Does that sound good?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I can hear it from the computer, but not in
my head.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
That's my fault again.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Everything I touch just turns to That's why I use
twelve to fifteen squares, because.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's funny. Okay, Well, anyway, I think about the good
music in your head as I tell you the story
about a Oh there we go, boom, look at you
making things happen.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Trouble shooting problem solver.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
A local Washington rescue dog named Gita has saved her
elderly owner's life by leading authorities to his location hours
after this older gentleman severely injured himself falling in the woods.
Oh it happened September twenty fifth. Geita was spotted sitting
(34:05):
in the roadway of her remote wooded area in Stevens County.
You know the one. I think Christine greg war won
that one by a deputy who admitted to getting who
attempted to get geta into his vehicle, but to no avail.
Gita would not budge. So the deputy was like, what's
the deal. Why won't this dog move? He said something
(34:26):
was wrong, and she takes up a lightly traveled, unmarked roadway,
leading the deputy to her elderly owner, who was laying
on the ground and calling out help, help.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I love, I love your dramatic reading of the word help.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Anyway, the eighty four year old man had fallen, injured
his leg and really had faced serious consequences if he
was not found. He had hurt himself three hours before
and was just lying there help. The Sheriff's office shared
the story to their Facebook page, of course, praising their
(35:08):
deputy for recognizing the pups concern the call for help.
She's a thirteen years old, this k nine. She's a
good girl and a true hero.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Good girl.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
That's amazing. Do you think your dog Peter would do
that for you?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Not yet?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
No, No, he's that dog, would not do that for
you's I was actually thinking about bringing the great Peters.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Why didn't you? He would love the sand because I.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Think it would hurt his ears. He's got very sense,
you know, they're well.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You could put little headphones on him.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Oh yeah, that would seem like you do.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
With a baby. We'll see babies out here today with
headphones on.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There are there are some babies out here, so they're
doing something. So we're on the beach a Huntington Beach
getting ready for the Pacific Air Show that starts to
kill the music, bro Bro, we could do the other d's.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
There's something going on here.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
So there's guys in fatigues out here that are telling
people where to sit and where not to sit.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't know if you've noticed that.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, No, the security is Orange County level security. They
do not play in Hautington Beach.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
But they have said before.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
When we talked to Kevin Elliott last week, he was
saying that they're going to actually use the beach for
some landings and takeoffs, some some vertical landing or very
short takeoff and landing.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
So I don't know if that means that because they
have some cones out here, and I don't know if
that's what they were doing, was telling those people to
move because that's the spot that they're going to use.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
But that would be directly.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
In front of it. What's that out there?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's just a marker of My assumption is that it's
a marker for there's one way back then there. I
assume that's just the sort of the center line for
the show. Yeah, and then there's some there's some way
out there as well, and the Coastguard is out there
kind of telling people where they can and can't go.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Because hello, good morning, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Just the Good Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Hey, Yes, I think it's nice to spreads here wherever
we go.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I if only we could broadcast this song on the
beach for everybody.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Take over that big speaker setup that they've got out there.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, could you make jack that. Can we figure out
a way to pipe our stuff in there?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
See if it's on bluetooth, See if you can get
your phone.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I actually I know you can try.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Your phone to see if it was going to work.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Reminder what you learned this week on the Gary and Shannichow.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
You can leave us a talkback message.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I learned how many squares of toilet paper you using
for a great wist when you're listening on the app,
Just hit that little microphone button and leave us a
quick message. And the fruit fly the size of the brain.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
How many neurons?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I don't know about the You said one hundred and
forty million thousand. We have eighty five billion.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yeah, most of us present.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Company, You said it, not me.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
All right, we are going to be out again out
here until one o'clock doing the show from hunting to bees,
getting ready for the Pacific Air Show. Tickets are still available,
of course. You can go to airshow dot com and
get get tickets for today or tomorrow or Sunday or
all three. If that's your speed, that could be. It
is going to be an absolutely beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
There's just something soothing about it about the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Do you feel secure?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I feel like Jesus is carrying me in a.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Sandy one set of footprints.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, just one, just the one, all right, so stupid.
We have a guest coming on next, so let's get
it together.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Gary and Shannon will continue live from Money to Beach
right after this.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
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.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's great about the first thing the beach, first thing
in the morning like that, is that all of the
footprints from everybody else are gone.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
From last it's just you and Jesus. When he carries you,
it's me. It's just those two two sets of Jesus
or God, and it's just one in the poem, it's
Jesus Jesus.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And then and then you turn around and you go,
why was there only one set of footba he was
carrying you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In your tough time exactly, You're damn right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He slaps you on the side of the head and
he says, that's when I was carrying you, you moron.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do we have the trumpets of Jesus?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We do. I think they still work here. We play
them if you want to.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Jesus a little over modulated. Okay, it's better now, I'm sorry. Hey,
what's with the toilet paper?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay? Listen?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Why are people obsessed with hoarding toilet paper? We had
a doc workers strike for what four days, three days
and a half, something like that, and my brother says
to me yesterday, the isle of toilet paper is completely
empty at the market. People have lost their minds.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Why do we go.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Straight for the toilet paper?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Why do we need so much toilet paper?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And are you so low on toilet paper regularly that
that's the time that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
How many squares do you use?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
How many do I use?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm usually about twelve, somewhere between twelve and.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Fifty twelve and fifteen. That's wasteful. You do not not
what's going on down? Mayre?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
What are you talking about? A square?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Twelve to fifteen squares?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Birder?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
How many squares do you use? Twelve to fifteen?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Matter? Disgusting?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I use like four squares?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Girl? You dirty.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The big deal that's going on right now and we're
waiting for this news conference to start from LA City Hall,
is that Mayor Bass and the Police commissioned President are
expected to announce the next chief of the LAPD. Of
different outlets have already reported, as have we, that it
will be Jim McDonald.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Well done, excellent choice. I love Jim McDonald. He knows
Los Angeles. He has an extensive history with the Sheriff's Department.
That'll be interagency cooperation. It'll be wonderful cops.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Cop.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yes, I mean that's kind of the impression that I've
always got.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
We're not having an administrative guy come be chief of
the LAPD. We're having somebody who has both. He's got
experience in the line of duty, he's got experience in administration,
and he can walk that line.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
My first impressions from him were when he was assistant
chief under Bratton. Yes, when Bill Bratton was the chief
of the LAPD and a lot of the things that
had to be done fell onto Jim McDonald as the
assistant chief. So, like you said, he's got the experience.
He's been working at USC for the last couple of years.
He did run unsuccessfully for sheriff. But I mean, this
is a guy who I think the only surprise about
(02:56):
it he was considered pretty much the leading contender. The
only surprise about is that is a white guy. And
I think a lot of people are making bones about
the fact that they were expecting Karen Bass to appoint
either of one.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I love that she didn't, you know, I love that
she didn't as a woman of color. She chose the
white guy with experience, the guy who should have the job,
and it's great.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Think about what he's got coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Not only is he taking over an LAPD that is
understaffed and has been chronically for a very long time,
he's got the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Coming up, He's got the Olympic Games coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean, that's that's just four years away for the
for the Olympics in the city of Los Angeles. I mean, granted,
they'll be stretched out around many parts, but the LAPD
is obviously going to play a major role when it
comes to organizing security and things like that. So the
at this point have not started this news conference again.
It is going to start somewhere in City Hall KFI.
(03:52):
Steve Gregory is there. He's been covering the story and
following this selection for chief, and he's going to join
us a little bit later in the show once he
gets a chance to to listen to it, to the
news conference and potentially even talk to the new chief
before he comes on.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Very peaceful, isn't It's got the tasty waves. It's overcast.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Can we just we could do this every Friday?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
We could? We should, Honestly, we should just hang out
in our flip flops and our hoodies.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Berts down for it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Bert's down for it. He's got a bear claw, but
no steak.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Who just just post up in one of these lifeguard stations.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh yeah, Well, we've got the remote unit. We could
probably broadcast from anywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, we've I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Got internet access? That's important, is it? Did you watch
the football game last night?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, but I didn't see the end of it a minute.
I know. Wait, well, I was on a flight, so
I missed the whole overtime comeback situation. I read about
it this morning. I was in the air in Southwest
had no Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't know, because I didn't ask questions though.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I tried to pay for it, but it was not available.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was a great It started out as a barn burner.
I mean it was.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I saw the beginning four or five in the first half.
I saw the first half, and that's yeah, it was.
It was a lot of fun. It was a very fun,
fun game to accering Kirk Cousins. I mean, I love
those stories, both of their stuff. Both of their stories
are great.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Kirk Cousins over five hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, that's what Kirk Cousins does.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The other big deal today the dock workers agreed to
a tenant, a deal on wages that extended their existing
contract through the middle of January so that they can
work out all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Specifically, the ocean is that nature.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's the sand fleas that have started crawling about your body,
so so they move now ends this strike along the
East Coast and Gulf Coast, so you can sell your
toilet paper back to Costco. Also, unemployment news that came
out today, job gains increased by the most in six
months last month, so the unemployment rate fell down to
(05:55):
four point one percent, better than expected increase. When it
comes to the non farm payrolls, everybody knows the non
farm payrolls.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Are where it's at.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Closely watched employment report also showed that the economy did
add seventy two thousand more jobs in July.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And August than previously estimated.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So let's go to it looks like they are going
to start this news conference there in the city Hall,
and Jacob, if you haven't dialed up, we'll go ahead
and listen to it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Making an announcement to make all of Los Angeles Safer.
We are first going to hear from the President of
the Los Angeles Police Commission, Doctor Earl Southers. Following that
we'll hear from Mayor Bass, and following that we'll hear
from the next Chief of.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Police, Jim McDonald.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
After remarks, I'll take questions from the side and I
just want to make sure everybody has background materials as
well as a press release that has been passed out.
I see some thumbs up with that will get started,
Doctor Southers.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
So thank you, Zach, Good morning everyone, Thank you all
for being here for this historic moment. Today is the
culmination of a nationwide search for the finest leader to
serve and protect the people of Los Angeles. Sent to
lead the department, say, the finest police department in the world.
(07:14):
The chief of Police essentially the CEO of the department
that makes the Los Angeles Police Commission akin to the
department's board of Directors, and one of our most essential
duties is helping to lead the selection process that brought
us here today.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
This process included.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
A recruiting firm, the city's personnel department, my fellow commissioners,
and the Commission's staff, and input from the community leaders
and the Los Angeles residents. I want to thank you
for all participating in this monumental decision for our city.
As a body, our Commission stands with Mayor Baths and
(07:51):
her firm commitment to reducing crime, growing the Los Angeles
Police Department, improving officer morale, and building the future of
public safety here in Los Angeles so that every Angelino
feels safe and is safe in their neighborhoods, and today's
announcement surges us forward towards those commitments. We also share
(08:12):
Mamabass's book Relief that the trust between law enforcement and
the people they're charged to protect and serve is an
essential pillar in democracy, and I know that trust will
become stronger after today. On behalf of the Board of
Police Commissioners, I'd like to thank Mayor Bass for her confidence, patience,
(08:33):
and support during this process. I commend her decision to
appoint Jim MacDonald as chief, and I'm grateful for his
willingness to serve. Chief McDonald understands the need to embrace
the guardian mindset, both within the department and with the public.
I've spoken with many people who've worked with him during
his career, and the descriptions I hear have consistently included honest, seasoned,
(08:58):
and a man of integrity. These are essential leadership traits
who will need to continue to transform the department while
addressing the near and far challenges we will face in
the coming years. Thank you all for being here, and
thank you Mare for your support.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
So good morning everyone. First, let me begin by thanking
Chief Dominique Choi. I want to I want to thank
Chief Joy and your experience and steady leadership have been
(09:35):
invaluable to me and to all of Los Angeles. I
also want to recognize you, Chief Joy for your more
than twenty years of service to our city, and I'm
grateful that you will continue. You're not going anywhere. You
will continue to serve in a role as assistant Chief
every day. You and every officer of the LAPD pin
(09:58):
on that badge and Angelinos from harm and we thank
you all for your service. From the beginning, I have
been clear my top priority of s mayor is to
ensure that Angelinos in our neighborhoods are safer today than yesterday.
Simply put, public safety is job number one and it's
(10:21):
personal for me. I spent years treating patients at Los
Angeles County Emergency Room. I saw the consequences of crime
up close.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I saw the devastation.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
The gunshot, wounds, knives, and fists did to people's bodies,
and I saw the impact on the families left to
pick up the pieces that inspired my work as a
community organizer to prevent crime in the first place, and
it continues to drive me today. Today we are making
sure that Los Angeles has the right leader in place,
(10:56):
and I will make sure that the LAPD and our
new leader has the support that is needed to build
toward the future of public safety in the nation's second
largest city and to prepare Los Angeles for what's ahead
to welcome the world to our city. So, therefore, to
(11:17):
reduce crime and make La safer by growing and strengthening
the LAPD, building up community relations, and ensuring that our
city is prepared, I have selected Jim McDonald to serve
as the fifty ninth Chief of Police of the Los
Angeles Department. Chief McDonald is one of America's finest police professionals.
(11:50):
He graduated from our own police academy at the age
of twenty one and rose through the LAPD ranks to
become the first assistant chief. He was appointed as chief
of Police in Long Beach and elected to serve as
the Sheriff of La County. Chief McDonald is a nationally
recognized thought leader on public safety, which is why he
(12:13):
was appointed to serve as director of USC's Price School
of Public Policies Safe Communities Institute.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Chief McDonald is.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
A leader, an innovator, and a change maker, and that's
what we need in LA. I'm appointing Chief McDonald because
he and I have aligned in our desire to change
the direction of Los Angeles by preventing crime in the
first place, responding urgently when crime takes place, and to
(12:44):
hold people accountable and.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Bring down crime.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Together, we will grow and strengthen LAPD. We will achieve
this by recruiting and hiring new officers and by improving
officer morale to keep officers on the job and on
the front lines. And we will deploy more officers on
the street by modernizing LAPD's technology and cutting old fashioned bureaucracy. Together,
(13:13):
McDonald and I will also strengthen relationships with the community.
The community and our officers should always be allies in
keeping our neighborhoods safe. Different strategies we know are required
for different neighborhoods, and Chief McDonald understands the complexity of
Los Angeles. LA is an international gateway. We are the
(13:37):
nation's second largest city. This is earthquake country, and we're
hosting the twenty twenty six World Cup and the twenty
twenty eight Olympic and Para Olympic Games. After visiting France
and seeing the Games, the magnitude of what LA needs
to prepare for is crystal clear to me. I trust
(14:00):
that Jim McDonald will make sure that we are prepared
and vigilant for anything that comes our way. This day
is the cumbination of a national search for the right
leader to partner with me and the officers of the
LAPD to reduce crime and take LA in a new direction,
to transform the department, to prepare for the world and
(14:24):
to keep Angelino's safe every day. I want to thank
Jim's family, Kathy, Megan and Alex who are here with
us today.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
Assistant Chief LAPD, Chief of Police in Long Beach, elected
by the people of Los Angeles County to serve as
the sheriff, is now returning home to LA to serve
as the fifty ninth Chief of Place, Jimmy Dunn.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's all yous.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Thank you, oh certainly, thank you very very much, Mayor
Bass for your confidence. I can say during my tenure
across LA County's three major policing agencies, I've had the
opportunity to work with many many mayors and Mayor Bass,
your efforts on public safety reflect thoughtful, compassionate, and solution
(15:37):
oriented approaches to policing, and we're thankful for that. You've
attended more role calls than maybe any other mayor in
the city's history, and your engagement has not gone unnoticed.
I greatly appreciate your confidence in me, and I look
forward to working closely with you to make Los Angeles
a safer city each day. I'm joined here today by
my wife Kathy, my daughter Megan and her husband, and Alex.
(16:00):
My daughter Kelly and her husband Nick and their family
are on the East Coast, but are here in spirit.
I began the LAPD Academy forty three years ago, and
I pause when I say that because I just can't
wrap my head around that that is a long time.
I love this city and I understand the modern day
challenges our officers face in trying to protect it. To
(16:22):
our LAPD officers, I thank you. You answer the call,
you perform your duties with dignity, and you hold each
other to the highest professional standards. Standing before you hit
today is a dream realized. It's a tremendous honor to
lead the men and women of the LAPD. We will
work hard to make sure that you are supported with
(16:43):
your work to be able to keep all Angelinos safe.
In simplest terms, my goals are to enhance public safety,
to grow our department back to full strength through a
solid recruitment and retention campaign. To strengthen public trust, the
founder of all we do. To further develop community relationships
(17:04):
and to be able to take that to new levels.
To ensure respectful and constitutional policing practices.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
In all that we do.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
And to prepare our organization in our partner agencies for
the many challenges that face us ahead. As I prepare
to take this role, I bring with me a comprehensive
understanding of public safety from law enforcement, academic and business perspectives.
In the next five years, the eyes of the world
will be honest. Los Angeles will host the World Cup.
(17:34):
It will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We will
host a Super Bowl and an NBA All Star Game.
Our department will and our city will be showcased, and
we will be prepared. What a great opportunity that is
for all of us in LA. I look forward forward
to working with Chief Choi and again, thank you, Chief Choice.
(17:54):
Probably the happiest guy here today, and I think the
entire are LAPD team UH for all that's been all
that's been done, and all that we will do together
to make Los Angeles an even safer city and to
make every member our of our department proud of our organization.
I know that Mayor Bass is committed to making Los
(18:16):
Angeles a safer city each day, and we'll support our efforts,
and I'm thankful for that. The reason I'm here today
is because I believe in her commitment. We will face
our challenges together. To those considering a career in public safety,
I say, join us to build a safer Los Angeles.
This is a time of great challenge, but a time
(18:37):
of tremendous opportunity. Thank you again, Mayor Bass, for this,
this honor, and this privilege.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I'm indebted to you.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Good talking person tomorrow to bar from the second to.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Day with La Times Mario. Oh yeah, usure. I know
this has been a month long process and I guess
the reports there came.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
From our No.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I don't think that that would be accurate to say.
I think that first of all, the firms searched nationally,
we had several candidates from other city, and we had
internal candidates, and I don't think that it would be
accurate to say that anybody was an automatic frontrunner.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Esportunately and then farm Cbs for the last several weeks
or from where in the department were very intitive and
greet We heard from kil Ava you Grew who we
were very supportive, Bob Marders another finalists. Just this morning
I heard from somebody who who says it is very
concerned about under representations with here was the city management
(19:45):
and said for me, I don't know what you know
it's going to do to get break.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
In this county.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Where do you say to those pros?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Well, first of all, let me just start at the
issue of the chief of police. Our city has a
lot of work to do to prepare to welcome the world.
To me, what is most important, as I said, from
the beginning is to keep the city safe. We need it,
and I feel very confident in one of the top
(20:14):
law enforcement professionals in our country who is willing to
come back to the department and lead us in a
time when the department internally needs to be transformed. The
city needs to feel safe, and we need to prepare
to welcome the world. And I feel very strong and
confident in that decision. My whole life has been about inclusion,
(20:36):
and one thing that I do very deliberately and very
assertively is to make sure that there is representation everywhere.
I think there's work that needs to be done in
the LAPD. I have spent the last few months visiting
almost every station and meeting with officers. There's a lot
that needs to be done. I will continue to pay
attention to representation, particularly with the Latino population, which we
(21:01):
know is half of the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
It's hard study jest at all, and you listed on
your hoofing building public trust.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You talk to us a little bit about the challenges
you've seen in this area and some of the set
local cha.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Thank you for that question. Critically important to the LAPD,
but every police organization in America. We've been through a
very rough period of time and we're looking to.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Move past that. The way to move past that is.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
To re engage with the community in a different way,
maybe than we have traditionally. One that we talk about partnership, collaboration, transparency, inclusion.
One that we can work together with our communities to
make them safer. When you think and you look across
this country, there are about eight hundred thousand police officers
in America serving a population of what three hundred and
(21:54):
thirty million people. When you do the math on that,
that's less than one third of one percent of our
popular is in charge with protecting everyone else. That's physically
not possible to be able to do without that partnership,
without the community getting involved, without the community realizing that
they have a role in public safety as well. So
I will go out, we will talk to everybody who
(22:16):
will listen, We will engage, and I will listen to
the concerns of every community in this city. And to
be able to look across our country within policing for
best practices elsewhere, to be able to take back to
us what works elsewhere and try it out, be able
to share what we have that's working with others, and
to be able to move forward in a manner that
we can look back on and say, you know what
(22:38):
we did all we could and we're happy with the results.
That's my goal to be able to say that down
the road.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Thank you question is Carlos and more will always honor,
thank you.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
All Right, we're going to pull away from here. We
will monitor all the questions, bring you the person and information.
We need to talk about toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Over and over again. We don't need to talk about
we do.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Let me just We've got a lot of feedback and
I want to I want everyone to feel comfortable with
their toilet paper usage.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Everybody's different.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Everybody told me you can I say that, Yeah, you
wipe three times, Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
No it's not.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I don't know what kind of disaster area you're cleaning up.
But I let me feel like that's too many times.
I feel like twice is good, Like you make one
pass and you make another pass. Will he is a
little overcap.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
To your point, as long as it's clean, what do
you care?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't and I whatever you're doing is working because
I've never smelled any to try to sign you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
So a quick note before.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We get into some of those, because I didn't believe
that actually people would call in, but they like those messages.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
On the tar.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
People love to talk about their output.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
The big deal today, of course, locally, is that Jim
McDonald has been chosen to be the new LAPD chief.
We're going to be talking with Steve Gregory a little
bit later in the show more about what Jim McDonald
brings to the lap well.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And they made a big point in the press conference
out of this was a nationwide search. We didn't just
pluck this guy from our backyard where he's been for
years and years and years. That they did do a
whole search across the country and the recruitment effort was unparalleled.
He talked about getting the public trust back, and I
(24:20):
think that was such a good message because that's what
police officers need to hear right now. Police officers put
a badge on, they put their life on the line,
and they get blasted for it. There's no respect for
the police department right now, unfortunately, and it's been this
way for eight years or so, and it's awful. And
the fact that the levels are so low it's not
(24:41):
a shock because they're not being appreciated for what they're doing.
So his whole message about building back public trust, working
on community relationships, practicing respectful and constitutional policing, he hit
all the notes correctly, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And for the men and women of the department, I mean,
I guess we'll hear in the next couple of days
the ability for however freely that they want to speak
about this. But this is not an administrator. He obviously
does have administrative experience, but he's also held just about
every position you can in the LAPD and other agency, and.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
That makes people listen to you. It's like a football coach, right,
If you haven't played, you're not going to have as
much credence right.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Anyway, So Jim McDonnell again will be the new chief
of the LAPD. A couple other stories that we'll get
to a little bit later include the dock workers. You
see that yacht out there, Yeah, that's the guy who
is the international president of the International Longshoreman's Association.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Honey, you see that dinghy out there, that's where he
would live.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
No, No, he's got a yacht. He makes a million
dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I know, but he doesn't like to show it. He
likes to present trashy.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Unless he's driving his Bentley.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Does he have a Bentley?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
He also has a Bentley?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Really wow?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
He does just fine.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
This woman is living her life, by the way.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Well, she came by earlier and she's.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Wearing red, white and blue. She's got a hat on.
She's dancing to the music.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
No shoes, baby, No, no shoes.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Gotta keep them feet dirty, pick and dirty. Here's just
a sampling. How come I stopped playing?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, hook me up with some toilet.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know why it's not playing. I can't get
it to play. Well, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
What do you mean it's not gonna work.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I don't know. It ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Hit the hit this you just you just asked me
if I did you turn it on?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Is it on? I can't believe you just did that.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
We're gonna have to play some of that. Jacob can
probably get me fix Jacobs like I hate you right now.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're we'll bring those to you.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Also, it is a Friday, which means, of course, what
you learned this week on the Gary.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Schil about the fruit fly Frankly about the size of
the brain.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
One hundred and forty thousand neurons. How many does a
human being have?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Not that many?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Eighty five billion?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh yeah, I don't have that.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No, you're in the high forties. Maybe I wouldn't say
eighty five billion. Other big story today is this accusation
that Garth Brooks is the target of He's accused of
sexual assault and battery in a lawsuit from a woman
who worked not just for him.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
But also for his wife, Tricia Yearwood.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
So I wouldn't give any weight to this because he's
been famous for so long and we have not seen
any of this smoke before. But there's something that comes
across it. And don't get me wrong, I love Garth Brooks.
He was the first country artist that made me fall
in love with country music. But there's something about Garth
Brooks where Garth Brooks really loves Garth Brooks to where
(27:37):
I kind of give this some weight more than I
would if it was just a out of nowhere allegation
against somebody else famous.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because his personality is one that would assume he has
certain rights and privileges.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yes, you can take whatever you want when you want it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
This complaint was filed in state court here in California yesterday,
states that this the incident that this woman accuses him
of occurred back in twenty nineteen. She says that once
she was raped by Garth Brooks during a work trip
in LA. That he also had blocked or tried to
block this lawsuit by filing a previous complaint in Mississippi.
(28:19):
I think out of it to try to get ahead
of it. Come out, and he basically says this is
a shakedown. She has been trying for years to get
him to write a check for millions of dollars to
keep her quiet, and he says that that he'll fight
all of these accusations.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
The woman worked for Tricia Yearwood first.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, and then I guess was then hired, of course
by Garth Brooks to do hair and makeup and stuff
for some of his appearances.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
She says it was May twenty nineteen, flew on a
private jet with Brooks to LA for a Grammy tribute
to Sam Moore. She says Brooks booked them into the
same hotel room where he raped her. Now she was
helpless to move from his grip and terrified at what
was happening to her. Here's where I'm going to get
into trouble. But I will get into trouble. If you're
(29:06):
going on a business trip with your boss or a
coworker or anyone, and they book you into the same
hotel room, do not make entrance to same hotel room.
Demand your own room. That is why would you think
that that was gonna be a healthy working relationship environment.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
There's no way. The only cat Like when we went to.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The convention and I say we could stay in an airbnb,
you were like, no, We're staying in a hotel. I'm
not living with you. You put your foot down the cab.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
The cab I just don't want to see what a
kind of a mess you.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Make in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Well, at least we wouldn't blow through all the toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
We The thing about the room that I thought of
yesterday when I saw that description was what if I
mean it's Garth Brooks. He's getting He's not getting a
single queen size bed in a motel six.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's getting a huge Yeah, but you still I don't
care what how big is. You don't stay with somebody.
I think it sounds to me like he was banging her.
But it was consensual? What just but it was well,
she agreed to stay in the same hotel room. There's
probably some banging going on.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think, if anything, I would lean towards it was
a consensual sexual relationship. He didn't want to continue it.
She got pissed and threatened to sue for the rape.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Wells, it is one of those things where we will
obviously have to follow this. I guess we'll have to
because it's Garth Brooks for one thing. Well, we're live
today in Huntington Beach and if you happen to be
out or headed out to see the Pacific Air Show today,
it starts in just a few minutes and the sun
is actually starting to burn through the clouds.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Perfect timing, by the way.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I don't know if that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
We'll be out here in the strong clouds until one
o'clock about cover.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Really, you know what the beach is like.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
It starts starts like this and clears up, and it's
gonna beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It's gonna be wonderful. It's only it's supposed to be
about seventy three degrees today. We won't be swamp ass.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Good because we don't have the toilet paper that you're
concerned about.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'm not concerned about.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Figure this out, and I don't have.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Toilet paper and security the way you do. We are
on the sand and having a great time overcast skies,
which makes it nice and comfortable watching the tasty waves
roll in. The planes are going to start in oh
about thirty minutes or so. We're going to have a
bunch of guests that have bigger, more testicular fortitude than
(31:30):
we usually have on not to I did Mark Jason
or anyone else.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I did my my flight.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yes, you got a ride on a really cool plane.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I flew it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You're okay?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
For there was a time there I was the one
in control of it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yes, yeah, I know. That's very cool. It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Cool, given you think it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I do think it happened. I don't think you like,
actually flew the plane. If you get into a plane
and you take it off and I didn't land it,
that's kind of what I'm impressed with.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
But I did a barrel roll.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
That's cool, Okay, seek's cool.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Good, you're right. I like that. Locally.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
The big news, of course, La former La sheriff, former
assistant chief to the LAPD, former chief of the Long
Beach PD, Jim McDonald has been named the new chief
of the Los Angeles Police Department. We are going to
get a hold of Steve Gregory. He was down at
that news conference a short time ago, and when he
gets a chance, he's going to give us a call
(32:28):
and we're going to talk more about what that means
for the LAPD going forward. The assumed successor to hes
Belaw's leader, Hassan Asraala, was the target of another Israeli
air strike that killed some other of the terror leaders overnight.
No confirmation yet as to whether or not Hashem Safi
had been nailed. It was the target of the strike
(32:50):
that hit overnight. We do know he was the target,
I should say, we don't know if he in fact
was killed. So at this point it's hard to be
the number two guy in Hesbalah because that's immediately got
a target on your back.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Would you like a good story?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Do we have good story music.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't know if I'm going to be able to
get this thing to work today.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
But already you played the trumpets of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I know, but that doesn't mean that it's going to continue.
Does that sound good?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I can hear it from the computer, but not in
my head.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
That's my fault again.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Everything I touch just turns to That's why I use
twelve to fifteen squares, because.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That's funny. Okay, Well, anyway, I think about the good
music in your head as I tell you the story
about a Oh there we go, boom, look at you
making things happen.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Trouble shooting problem solver.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
A local Washington rescue dog named Gita has saved her
elderly owner's life by leading authorities to his location hours
after this older gentleman severely injured himself falling in the woods.
Oh it happened September twenty fifth. Geita was spotted sitting
(34:05):
in the roadway of her remote wooded area in Stevens County.
You know the one. I think Christine greg war won
that one by a deputy who admitted to getting who
attempted to get geta into his vehicle, but to no avail.
Gita would not budge. So the deputy was like, what's
the deal. Why won't this dog move? He said something
(34:26):
was wrong, and she takes up a lightly traveled, unmarked roadway,
leading the deputy to her elderly owner, who was laying
on the ground and calling out help, help.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I love, I love your dramatic reading of the word help.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Anyway, the eighty four year old man had fallen, injured
his leg and really had faced serious consequences if he
was not found. He had hurt himself three hours before
and was just lying there help. The Sheriff's office shared
the story to their Facebook page, of course, praising their
(35:08):
deputy for recognizing the pups concern the call for help.
She's a thirteen years old, this k nine. She's a
good girl and a true hero.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Good girl.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
That's amazing. Do you think your dog Peter would do
that for you?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Not yet?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
No, No, he's that dog, would not do that for
you's I was actually thinking about bringing the great Peters.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Why didn't you? He would love the sand because I.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Think it would hurt his ears. He's got very sense,
you know, they're well.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You could put little headphones on him.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Oh yeah, that would seem like you do.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
With a baby. We'll see babies out here today with
headphones on.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
There are there are some babies out here, so they're
doing something. So we're on the beach a Huntington Beach
getting ready for the Pacific Air Show that starts to
kill the music, bro Bro, we could do the other d's.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
There's something going on here.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
So there's guys in fatigues out here that are telling
people where to sit and where not to sit.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
I don't know if you've noticed that.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, No, the security is Orange County level security. They
do not play in Hautington Beach.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
But they have said before.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
When we talked to Kevin Elliott last week, he was
saying that they're going to actually use the beach for
some landings and takeoffs, some some vertical landing or very
short takeoff and landing.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
So I don't know if that means that because they
have some cones out here, and I don't know if
that's what they were doing, was telling those people to
move because that's the spot that they're going to use.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
But that would be directly.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
In front of it. What's that out there?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's just a marker of My assumption is that it's
a marker for there's one way back then there. I
assume that's just the sort of the center line for
the show. Yeah, and then there's some there's some way
out there as well, and the Coastguard is out there
kind of telling people where they can and can't go.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Because hello, good morning, that's.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Just the Good Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Hey, Yes, I think it's nice to spreads here wherever
we go.

beach for everybody.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Take over that big speaker setup that they've got out there.
Speaker 1 (37:12):

a way to pipe our stuff in there?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
