Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We continue to find out more information about what exactly
happened when there were threats allegedly towards FEMA members, FEMA
officials that are working in the South trying to recover
from not just Hurricane Milton most recently, but obviously before that,
Hurricane Helene and the damage caused in the states of North,
(00:28):
South Carolina, Georgia, et cetera. Yesterday we told you that
a forty four year old guy out of Bostic, North Carolina,
was arrested charged under a law that makes it illegal
to carry a weapon in a way that would threaten
the public. So I'll get to the details of that
just a second. The Governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper,
has spoken.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I've directed the Department of Public Safety to coordinate law
enforcement assistance for FEMA and other responders who needed to
help ensure their safety and security. People can keep getting
the help that they desperately need.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
And then Dan Criswell is the FEMA administrator. We are
not going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
We have over two thousand people from the Federal family
in North Carolina, and misinformation will not deter us from
our mission of helping people period.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And again there's this wild rumors going around North Carolina.
Part of it is because there's an information vacuum. Some
people still don't have internet. They some people probably never
did have the Internet, and a lot of that information
vacuum is being filled by theories about how FEMA is
going to come through and for example, bulldoze the entire
town of Chimney Rock without looking for bodies of those
(01:40):
people who were lost. They're going to take out buildings,
and on and on and on, and these these rumors
then gain momentum and are really not connected to whatever
source material, whatever seed of information was there that then
causes this to roll out of control. Just as an example,
this forty four year old guy, William Jacob Parsons, Boston,
(02:02):
North Carolina, arrested for threatening FEMA workers.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
This is how it went down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
On Saturday afternoon, the Rutherford County Communications Center got a
call that a man armed with an assault rifle had
made a comment about harming FEMA workers. So he was
at a gas station in Polk County, North Carolina, and
it was either a station clerk or another customer at
the gas station that went to some Army soldiers who
(02:32):
were nearby. The Army then informed the Rutherford County Sheriff's office.
The Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies visited that gas station, got
a description of this guy's vehicle, and then they found
him at a nearby supermarket. It happened after FEMA, of course,
directed its employees to stop going door to door to
(02:54):
help survivors because of the various threats of violence. FEMA
workers are still working from their designated li loofk cations
off in county courthouses or some other sort of well
known building within their communities. But it goes to show
you that all it takes is a tiny little seed
of information about what happened for it to blow out
of control. Because remember the reports that we had were
(03:16):
that this was some sort of two trucks worth of
militia guys brimming with guns that were hunting down female workers.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, and how many apartment complexes are we talking about
when it comes to the Venezuelans, Like I want numbers,
like you just got the one guy in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But if you have one apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado
that's taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That seems like a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It also seems like a priority, Like get into that
one complex?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Should you could? It would make sense if they did.
Welcome to work.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Hey, you know what, I'm reading that book right now?
Oh you are? Yeah? Okay, good? How funny?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You guys always have the same books, so I write.
I just but it's just funny. It just made me giggle.
I'm like, I'm one hundred pages into that one.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Very good, I hope, So all right when we come back.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I don't know why they do road work in rush hour.
I know it's my fault. I should leave early. I
should a lot for them to do roadwork in rush hour?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, why why not weait till ten? Is it actual roadwork?
Are they like sweeping and brushing?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Because the union must be strong for Caltrans and they
can't work them overnight.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not asking for overnight. I'm asking for the middle
of the day noon, noon would be nice on noon
sweeper train. Yeah, that doesn't eleven eleven am.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
When we come back. More on what's going on in
the campaign today. Big deals. When it comes to what
we could see interview wise over the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know what this is going to be. I think
make or break for her tomorrow night?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You think so on Fox? What about when she does
Joe Rogan?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
She's doing Joe Rogan too, Allegedly, there are at least
discussions about it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I doubt it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
You're listening to Gary Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You've heard of people fainting in church in the south right,
they're moved by the spirit of the Lord. While a
couple of people started fainting at Trump's Pennsylvania rally. It
it wasn't the music, It wasn't the Lord.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It may have been I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I don't know these people, but it looks like it
was the lack of air conditioning. Trump even requested to
air conditioning at one point, and Christy, noam your girls
South Dakota governors try to keep things strictly political with
a joke saying they probably can't afford it, sir, in
this economy.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
She's doing something with her face lately.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh really, oh boy, like a plastic surgery injection thing.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yes, not flattering.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Trump decided then to switch his tack. He said, let's
not do any more questions. Let's just listen to the music.
Let's make it into a music dance.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music.
Let's make it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Into a music, into a music hell wants to hear questions, right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And so then then music and from the from the
Donald J. Trump Spotify playlist apparently the songs that he's
still allowed to play, of course, and didn't do anything.
He just kind of every once in a while he'd
stop and he'd say some things.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
For me, it didn't get better than November Rain when
he started doing this like this weird like.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Can you dance it to November Rain?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Like like turntable hand motion that he's got going on.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It was so awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And what I didn't quite understand and have yet to
actually read, is were medics and EMTs treating these people
that entire time? Because if if, if they were, that
makes sense. He doesn't want to do an event while
there's people being you know, treated for exhausting or fate
whatever it was. You don't want to you don't want
to continue the event.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But you can't start dancing to November rain while somebody's
dying on the floor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Why why do you hate dance?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I just think that that's more irreverent than continuing the rally.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There is that, but again I don't know exactly what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Like if I just dropped to the floor right now,
well I would dance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh man, you have no idea that's hurtful. No, no, it
would be like a dance. It would be like a
healing dance.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Oh, like a rain dance, but for healing. Right, I
hope she gets healed? Is this because of Indigenous People's Day?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Whatever has fallen her? Befallen her? I hope that it
goes away. So that's one thing to make fun of
him for, right, I mean, that's he does some of
these the easier, awkward dancing things.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But if that's it, If she did that, people, nobody
would be able to stop talking about it today, about
how she was so dancing for thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Now, she she mocked that whole dance.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Music fest.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
At one point she said that it was very special
and said that he appeared lost, confused, and I hope
he's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I want to hear the way she says special. Does
she mean he's disabled? Possibly, she made me do that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
One of the things that's going on today in terms
of the campaign is both of them sitting down for
a couple of town versions of town hall. She Vice
President Harris is going to be talking with Charlemagne, the
God from the Breakfast Club in a town hall in Detroit.
Trump is sitting down for a town hall style event
in Chicago, I believe with Bloomberg before he sits down
(08:38):
and answers questions of an all women audience. In Georgia.
There's a rally plan in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Also. Now we talked about Vice President Harris.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yesterday, Fox News confirmed that Harris has agreed to go
and do an interview with Brett Baer tomorrow that's going
to air at about three o'clock. There's also discussion that
she could sit down with podcaster Joe Rogan, that her
campaign has met with Rogan's team. They have not confirmed
(09:10):
anything as of yet, but we do know that Trump
has confirmed that he would be on with Joe Rogan
sometime the next few days.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
So all of that going on the day that Georgia begins.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
For I understand her going on Brett barn Fox News
to try and wo maybe never Trump Republicans. I don't
know who they are anymore, but I know they exist.
Certainly the media will tell you they exist. I don't
know what she could say to wu them, but going
on Joe Rogan is a lose lose for her. I
(09:46):
don't know if people listen to Joe Rogan who are
undecided at this point.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, don't forget Joe Rogan was a Bernie Sanders guy.
I mean, Joe Rogan's politics aren't necessary. I mean, he
clearly now tends to, at least in what he talked about,
say that Trump is more likely going to get his vote.
I don't know if he's actually endorsed him or said specifically, but.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
She has.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
She has to do something to try to pull male
voters period.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't think Obama talking about black men not voting
for her went over very well.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
No, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I mean, maybe that's why they saw that and said, well,
we got to do better than that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And there's some pulling that black men voters Democrats or
black men who consider themselves Democrat, abortion, gender equality, it's
all very low on their list of things that they want.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
To hear about. Yeah, so, I mean maybe that's I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't know how she claws back those guys in
the next two weeks, two and a half weeks. Whatever,
it is, all right, there's a weird thing going on.
We're being attacked by drones. But is it an attack
or is it just sort of poke the bear to
see how the bear reacts.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Are these friendly drones or non friendly drones? I have
no idea, We have no ida.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Also a story of survival later this hour, We love
a story of survival.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Fatuye on a boat.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Guy wakes up at sea with two dead relatives next
to him, but he survived.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah, probably because he was a fat Probably.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Have you heard about these new rules for going to
the bathroom at Edison High School in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is this where you have to scan a QR code?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yes, Now, there's some discussion about the have to part
of that, but students must. There are instructions on how
students document when they're leaving the classroom, and students and
I'm sure their parents are probably a little worried about
the school is tracking them or keeping an eye on
how long they're in the bathroom, et cetera. Huntington Beach
(11:55):
High School asked students to scan a QR code posted
in the classrooms if they're leaving for various reasons, the
nurse library, wellness space, or the restroom.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Why do we have a wellness space? I would like
a wellness space around here to feel well.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
We don't have the space. We don't have the square
footage for it. We have a lot. We have nothing
but space. Oh why can't Oh that's funny that you
mentioned we don't have lactation rooms.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Students were asked to limit the time out of the
classroom to seven minutes, and then they could scan the
same QR code upon re entering the classroom. The principal
says it's not a strict policy, just a guideline. Not
all teachers have even requested that students do this.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Students were suggested to limit themselves to three bathroom passes
per day. I would, I would, I would guess my
entire high school career, I had five bathroom visits during class.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Not a place I wanted to go, right, And it
was only to do drugs or something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Right, you can't do drugs anymore. Kids. You can't look at.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Those kids who in Aby's news who took the marijuana
gummies and now they're all sick.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But I'd love to hear what people think about this
because I don't know, especially if our teacher should be
in school right now, but if teachers are listening, I'd
love to know what what's the thinking on this.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That well, I mean kids, just to generally discourage people
from leaving class. There's no discipline in the schools anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And you can't get on kids for going to the
bathroom and coming back twenty two minutes later.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But if there's proof that the kid.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Didn't come back for twenty two minutes, you could probably
take that kid to task, or at least they can
have a conversation at the wellness center or with a
counselor or whoever.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I know that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
If you're that discipline, there's no way of like kid
leaves for a class. It's not like when we were
in school, right and you know we left the go
to the bathroom. When we came back on these teachers
like where the hell were you? It's eight minutes. What
the hell were you doing for eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I just feel like the kid who's going to break
that rule is not going to scan their QR code
before they go to the bathroom, probably the wellness space
or whatever. There is something going on, and I am
surprised to know that the military can do nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I was shocked. That was the shocking thing for me. Okay,
so apparently there was a suspicious fleet of drones flying
over Langley, and this happened for several nights. They didn't
know if it was hobbyists or China or Russia could
not tell. And the shock of the matter is that
(14:37):
federal law prohibits the military from shooting down drones near
bases unless they pose an imminent threat. Now, how the
hell are you supposed to know a drone poses an
imminent threat if.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You don't shoot it down, I don't know. You don't
know where it came from.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And the law supposedly is because Langley Air Force Base,
as an example, is in a pretty highly populated area.
If they shoot this thing down and it's going one
hundred miles an hour, the wreckage is going to fall
on the neighborhood. Somewhere, or kids playing soccer. I don't know,
something like that. That's the thinking of it. So at
this point they have no idea if it's about last
(15:12):
year at about this time, they have no idea how
or why these drones were making these incursions over Langley
Air Force Base.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
There was also one.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
An incursion of drones that flew over the Nevada test site.
You know what that is. That's where we test our
nuclear weapons. And why in the world would we care
who is looking at us the former Nevada proving grounds
because they always want to find out information about us.
(15:44):
At this point, the military says they still do not know.
They don't know who operated the drones over there in
the Chesapeake Bay area. They don't know who operated the
drones in Nevada. And they said that this illustrates what
is a dilemma when it comes to defending against drones
on US soil. They shooting down a suspicious aircraft over
(16:06):
the United States, think Chinese balloon risks disrupting or endangering
the lives of Americans that the military has sworn to protect.
So now what they have to do is go to
the Secretary of Defense and ask for some more rules
and more tools to figure out what these drones are.
(16:27):
Is there a way to surveil them electronically and figure
out where their signals are coming from, to see if
they have cameras on them, and then at one at
some point eventually shoot them down or capture them.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
A story of survival upon our return. A Russian man
rescued after surviving for more than two months in a
tiny inflatable boat.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, the story is terrifying me. We know the other
guys died. Did he eat them? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Where?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Did you see that he was fat? His wife said
he was fat? Wow?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Fat shaming your husband when he just survived for two
months in the ocean.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Well, he lost some weight out there in the ocean.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Gary, you made me spit out my coffee. That was
so funny you and talking.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
About dancing around Shannon as she fell flopped on the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Wow, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Man, you'd be having a good old time.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I would let me clear, hang on one second, rother
So that's a different accounting than this two percent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So if you fell down, I would not dance around you.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You dance on top of my dying body.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
No, no, uh near near I would say near, but
I wouldn't dance around it.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
That'd be silly. I would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I still think it's very hurtful. Why, because you should
be giving your medical treatment. You should be going to
the defibrillator.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're assuming that I haven't already gotten the defibrillator using it,
you're dancing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Maybe there's a lot of people here that are more
qualified to take care of you healthwise.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I don't think so. Just checking for sure. I can
Donald Trump vote for himself or not as a fella?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Thanks, New York is where he was convicted. As long
as he's not incarcerated, he can vote. If he votes
in Florida. Florida basically defers to whatever state the conviction
came from. So yes, as long as he's not in jail,
he can he can vote for himself.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Well, we're talking about the story of survival.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
This Russian man rescued in the stormy see of a
Kotsik after for surviving for more than two months in
this tiny inflatable boat that it lost its engine power.
You argued it was because he was fat and I'm
gonna push I'm gonna push back on that.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I didn't say it's because it definitely helped.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
He wasn't fat, though. They say when he was rescued
he weighed about one hundred and ten pounds. That he
loved half, it says pounds and CBS News.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Well they brought they blew it because if he was
one hundred and ten pounds and he had lost half
his bind, he weighs fifty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, no, he he weighed at least one hundred and
he weighed about one hundred and ten pounds when he
was found. He had lost half of his body weight,
So that puts him at two twenty when he got
on the boat. That's not fat.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, well let me okay, So here's here's the reason.
I said that his wife had said his bulk saved him.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Okay, well, two twenties not thin, but it's not obese.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
No, no fat. I didn't say obese.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Do you think that this is one of those wives
that gets on him about like every little thing he
eats and he is lost his sea for two months
and she's like, yeah, it's his bulk that saved him.
Like just to drive in the knife a little bit
more like you're so fat you were lost at sea
for two months.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
That that's why I don't let you have the pastries.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So they set on a journey in August to watch
whales in this sea. This guy, his forty nine year
old brother and fifteen year old nephew. They didn't make it.
The engine died. They had taken enough food with them
for about two weeks, as well as warm clothes, life jackets,
flares about five gallons of water, but when that engine failed.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
They were left adrift.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
It's the coldest sea in East Asia, and it's known
for its gales.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The akotsik kotsk a hot skick that sounded like it hurt.
It did.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Mikhyle Pitchugen is the guy's name, and transport officials now
in Russia are suggesting that he may have violated safety
rules and that he could face a criminal charge and
even a prison sentence of up to seven years.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They don't play in Russia. There's no restorative justice.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Mikyle told the fisherman who rescued him that his nephew
died in early September, after which the brothers spent about
three weeks together on the boat, and they began to
get bed sores from sitting so long. As brother tried
to wash himself and fell into the water. Mikyle retrieved him,
but he says he died soon after.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
We've seen all the movies.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You go bats crazy when you're lost at sea, right,
how do you not?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
How do you not? Especially if it's your brother there?
You got to talk to your brother for three weeks?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh man, Actually, my brother's probably the only person in
the world that I could handle for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
For three weeks, the guy Mikyle tied his brother's body
and his nephew's body to the boat to prevent them
from falling into.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
The choppy waters. Well, that was nice of him.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Hung their life jackets on the side of the boat
in an attempt to attract attention.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I wonder if there's going to be a money angle,
like one of the brothers owed the other brother's money
or it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Was actually he was actually three brothers and a nephew
that started on the trip.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
What happened to the other brother?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Like, it's not a crazy enough story, let's add some
icing on it.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Do that a true crime Tuesday? What happened to the
other brother?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
All right, Hey, a big announcement tomorrow apparently from the
La County DA's office regarding the Menendez brothers, to the
point where the family has been asked by George Gascoon
to attend this news conference. Can you please not ignore
the fact that election day is November fifth.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
That's all I hear when you say exactly the DA
has asked the family of the Menendez brothers to be
at the well. Which family members It's a good question,
because some family members are on their sides, some or
not right.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We'll talk about that when we come back. You've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. 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
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We continue to find out more information about what exactly
happened when there were threats allegedly towards FEMA members, FEMA
officials that are working in the South trying to recover
from not just Hurricane Milton most recently, but obviously before that,
Hurricane Helene and the damage caused in the states of North,
(00:28):
South Carolina, Georgia, et cetera. Yesterday we told you that
a forty four year old guy out of Bostic, North Carolina,
was arrested charged under a law that makes it illegal
to carry a weapon in a way that would threaten
the public. So I'll get to the details of that
just a second. The Governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper,
has spoken.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I've directed the Department of Public Safety to coordinate law
enforcement assistance for FEMA and other responders who needed to
help ensure their safety and security. People can keep getting
the help that they desperately need.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
And then Dan Criswell is the FEMA administrator. We are
not going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
We have over two thousand people from the Federal family
in North Carolina, and misinformation will not deter us from
our mission of helping people period.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And again there's this wild rumors going around North Carolina.
Part of it is because there's an information vacuum. Some
people still don't have internet. They some people probably never
did have the Internet, and a lot of that information
vacuum is being filled by theories about how FEMA is
going to come through and for example, bulldoze the entire
town of Chimney Rock without looking for bodies of those
(01:40):
people who were lost. They're going to take out buildings,
and on and on and on, and these these rumors
then gain momentum and are really not connected to whatever
source material, whatever seed of information was there that then
causes this to roll out of control. Just as an example,
this forty four year old guy, William Jacob Parsons, Boston,
(02:02):
North Carolina, arrested for threatening FEMA workers.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
This is how it went down.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
On Saturday afternoon, the Rutherford County Communications Center got a
call that a man armed with an assault rifle had
made a comment about harming FEMA workers. So he was
at a gas station in Polk County, North Carolina, and
it was either a station clerk or another customer at
the gas station that went to some Army soldiers who
(02:32):
were nearby. The Army then informed the Rutherford County Sheriff's office.
The Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies visited that gas station, got
a description of this guy's vehicle, and then they found
him at a nearby supermarket. It happened after FEMA, of course,
directed its employees to stop going door to door to
(02:54):
help survivors because of the various threats of violence. FEMA
workers are still working from their designated li loofk cations
off in county courthouses or some other sort of well
known building within their communities. But it goes to show
you that all it takes is a tiny little seed
of information about what happened for it to blow out
of control. Because remember the reports that we had were
(03:16):
that this was some sort of two trucks worth of
militia guys brimming with guns that were hunting down female workers.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, and how many apartment complexes are we talking about
when it comes to the Venezuelans, Like I want numbers,
like you just got the one guy in North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But if you have one apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado
that's taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That seems like a lot.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It also seems like a priority, Like get into that
one complex?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Should you could? It would make sense if they did.
Welcome to work.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Hey, you know what, I'm reading that book right now?
Oh you are? Yeah? Okay, good? How funny?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You guys always have the same books, so I write.
I just but it's just funny. It just made me giggle.
I'm like, I'm one hundred pages into that one.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Very good, I hope, So all right when we come back.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I don't know why they do road work in rush hour.
I know it's my fault. I should leave early. I
should a lot for them to do roadwork in rush hour?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Well, why why not weait till ten? Is it actual roadwork?
Are they like sweeping and brushing?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Because the union must be strong for Caltrans and they
can't work them overnight.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not asking for overnight. I'm asking for the middle
of the day noon, noon would be nice on noon
sweeper train. Yeah, that doesn't eleven eleven am.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
When we come back. More on what's going on in
the campaign today. Big deals. When it comes to what
we could see interview wise over the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know what this is going to be. I think
make or break for her tomorrow night?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You think so on Fox? What about when she does
Joe Rogan?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
She's doing Joe Rogan too, Allegedly, there are at least
discussions about it.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I doubt it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
You're listening to Gary Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You've heard of people fainting in church in the south right,
they're moved by the spirit of the Lord. While a
couple of people started fainting at Trump's Pennsylvania rally. It
it wasn't the music, It wasn't the Lord.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It may have been I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I don't know these people, but it looks like it
was the lack of air conditioning. Trump even requested to
air conditioning at one point, and Christy, noam your girls
South Dakota governors try to keep things strictly political with
a joke saying they probably can't afford it, sir, in
this economy.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
She's doing something with her face lately.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh really, oh boy, like a plastic surgery injection thing.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yes, not flattering.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Trump decided then to switch his tack. He said, let's
not do any more questions. Let's just listen to the music.
Let's make it into a music dance.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Let's not do any more questions. Let's just listen to music.
Let's make it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Into a music, into a music hell wants to hear questions, right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And so then then music and from the from the
Donald J. Trump Spotify playlist apparently the songs that he's
still allowed to play, of course, and didn't do anything.
He just kind of every once in a while he'd
stop and he'd say some things.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
For me, it didn't get better than November Rain when
he started doing this like this weird like.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Can you dance it to November Rain?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Like like turntable hand motion that he's got going on.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It was so awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And what I didn't quite understand and have yet to
actually read, is were medics and EMTs treating these people
that entire time? Because if if, if they were, that
makes sense. He doesn't want to do an event while
there's people being you know, treated for exhausting or fate
whatever it was. You don't want to you don't want
to continue the event.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
But you can't start dancing to November rain while somebody's
dying on the floor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Why why do you hate dance?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I just think that that's more irreverent than continuing the rally.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
There is that, but again I don't know exactly what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Like if I just dropped to the floor right now,
well I would dance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh man, you have no idea that's hurtful. No, no, it
would be like a dance. It would be like a
healing dance.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Oh, like a rain dance, but for healing. Right, I
hope she gets healed? Is this because of Indigenous People's Day?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Whatever has fallen her? Befallen her? I hope that it
goes away. So that's one thing to make fun of
him for, right, I mean, that's he does some of
these the easier, awkward dancing things.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But if that's it, If she did that, people, nobody
would be able to stop talking about it today, about
how she was so dancing for thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Now, she she mocked that whole dance.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Music fest.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
At one point she said that it was very special
and said that he appeared lost, confused, and I hope
he's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I want to hear the way she says special. Does
she mean he's disabled? Possibly, she made me do that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
One of the things that's going on today in terms
of the campaign is both of them sitting down for
a couple of town versions of town hall. She Vice
President Harris is going to be talking with Charlemagne, the
God from the Breakfast Club in a town hall in Detroit.
Trump is sitting down for a town hall style event
in Chicago, I believe with Bloomberg before he sits down
(08:38):
and answers questions of an all women audience. In Georgia.
There's a rally plan in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Also. Now we talked about Vice President Harris.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yesterday, Fox News confirmed that Harris has agreed to go
and do an interview with Brett Baer tomorrow that's going
to air at about three o'clock. There's also discussion that
she could sit down with podcaster Joe Rogan, that her
campaign has met with Rogan's team. They have not confirmed
(09:10):
anything as of yet, but we do know that Trump
has confirmed that he would be on with Joe Rogan
sometime the next few days.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
So all of that going on the day that Georgia begins.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
For I understand her going on Brett barn Fox News
to try and wo maybe never Trump Republicans. I don't
know who they are anymore, but I know they exist.
Certainly the media will tell you they exist. I don't
know what she could say to wu them, but going
on Joe Rogan is a lose lose for her. I
(09:46):
don't know if people listen to Joe Rogan who are
undecided at this point.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, don't forget Joe Rogan was a Bernie Sanders guy.
I mean, Joe Rogan's politics aren't necessary. I mean, he
clearly now tends to, at least in what he talked about,
say that Trump is more likely going to get his vote.
I don't know if he's actually endorsed him or said specifically, but.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
She has.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
She has to do something to try to pull male
voters period.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't think Obama talking about black men not voting
for her went over very well.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
No, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I mean, maybe that's why they saw that and said, well,
we got to do better than that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And there's some pulling that black men voters Democrats or
black men who consider themselves Democrat, abortion, gender equality, it's
all very low on their list of things that they want.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
To hear about. Yeah, so, I mean maybe that's I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I don't know how she claws back those guys in
the next two weeks, two and a half weeks. Whatever,
it is, all right, there's a weird thing going on.
We're being attacked by drones. But is it an attack
or is it just sort of poke the bear to
see how the bear reacts.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Are these friendly drones or non friendly drones? I have
no idea, We have no ida.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Also a story of survival later this hour, We love
a story of survival.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Fatuye on a boat.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Guy wakes up at sea with two dead relatives next
to him, but he survived.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah, probably because he was a fat Probably.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Have you heard about these new rules for going to
the bathroom at Edison High School in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Is this where you have to scan a QR code?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yes, Now, there's some discussion about the have to part
of that, but students must. There are instructions on how
students document when they're leaving the classroom, and students and
I'm sure their parents are probably a little worried about
the school is tracking them or keeping an eye on
how long they're in the bathroom, et cetera. Huntington Beach
(11:55):
High School asked students to scan a QR code posted
in the classrooms if they're leaving for various reasons, the
nurse library, wellness space, or the restroom.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Why do we have a wellness space? I would like
a wellness space around here to feel well.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
We don't have the space. We don't have the square
footage for it. We have a lot. We have nothing
but space. Oh why can't Oh that's funny that you
mentioned we don't have lactation rooms.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Students were asked to limit the time out of the
classroom to seven minutes, and then they could scan the
same QR code upon re entering the classroom. The principal
says it's not a strict policy, just a guideline. Not
all teachers have even requested that students do this.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Students were suggested to limit themselves to three bathroom passes
per day. I would, I would, I would guess my
entire high school career, I had five bathroom visits during class.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Not a place I wanted to go, right, And it
was only to do drugs or something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Right, you can't do drugs anymore. Kids. You can't look at.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Those kids who in Aby's news who took the marijuana
gummies and now they're all sick.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
But I'd love to hear what people think about this
because I don't know, especially if our teacher should be
in school right now, but if teachers are listening, I'd
love to know what what's the thinking on this.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That well, I mean kids, just to generally discourage people
from leaving class. There's no discipline in the schools anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And you can't get on kids for going to the
bathroom and coming back twenty two minutes later.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
But if there's proof that the kid.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Didn't come back for twenty two minutes, you could probably
take that kid to task, or at least they can
have a conversation at the wellness center or with a
counselor or whoever.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I know that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
If you're that discipline, there's no way of like kid
leaves for a class. It's not like when we were
in school, right and you know we left the go
to the bathroom. When we came back on these teachers
like where the hell were you? It's eight minutes. What
the hell were you doing for eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I just feel like the kid who's going to break
that rule is not going to scan their QR code
before they go to the bathroom, probably the wellness space
or whatever. There is something going on, and I am
surprised to know that the military can do nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I was shocked. That was the shocking thing for me. Okay,
so apparently there was a suspicious fleet of drones flying
over Langley, and this happened for several nights. They didn't
know if it was hobbyists or China or Russia could
not tell. And the shock of the matter is that
(14:37):
federal law prohibits the military from shooting down drones near
bases unless they pose an imminent threat. Now, how the
hell are you supposed to know a drone poses an
imminent threat if.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You don't shoot it down, I don't know. You don't
know where it came from.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And the law supposedly is because Langley Air Force Base,
as an example, is in a pretty highly populated area.
If they shoot this thing down and it's going one
hundred miles an hour, the wreckage is going to fall
on the neighborhood. Somewhere, or kids playing soccer. I don't know,
something like that. That's the thinking of it. So at
this point they have no idea if it's about last
(15:12):
year at about this time, they have no idea how
or why these drones were making these incursions over Langley
Air Force Base.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
There was also one.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
An incursion of drones that flew over the Nevada test site.
You know what that is. That's where we test our
nuclear weapons. And why in the world would we care
who is looking at us the former Nevada proving grounds
because they always want to find out information about us.
(15:44):
At this point, the military says they still do not know.
They don't know who operated the drones over there in
the Chesapeake Bay area. They don't know who operated the
drones in Nevada. And they said that this illustrates what
is a dilemma when it comes to defending against drones
on US soil. They shooting down a suspicious aircraft over
(16:06):
the United States, think Chinese balloon risks disrupting or endangering
the lives of Americans that the military has sworn to protect.
So now what they have to do is go to
the Secretary of Defense and ask for some more rules
and more tools to figure out what these drones are.
(16:27):
Is there a way to surveil them electronically and figure
out where their signals are coming from, to see if
they have cameras on them, and then at one at
some point eventually shoot them down or capture them.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
A story of survival upon our return. A Russian man
rescued after surviving for more than two months in a
tiny inflatable boat.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, the story is terrifying me. We know the other
guys died. Did he eat them? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Where?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Did you see that he was fat? His wife said
he was fat? Wow?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Fat shaming your husband when he just survived for two
months in the ocean.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Well, he lost some weight out there in the ocean.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Gary, you made me spit out my coffee. That was
so funny you and talking.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
About dancing around Shannon as she fell flopped on the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Wow, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Man, you'd be having a good old time.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I would let me clear, hang on one second, rother
So that's a different accounting than this two percent.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So if you fell down, I would not dance around you.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You dance on top of my dying body.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
No, no, uh near near I would say near, but
I wouldn't dance around it.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
That'd be silly. I would want to do that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I still think it's very hurtful. Why, because you should
be giving your medical treatment. You should be going to
the defibrillator.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're assuming that I haven't already gotten the defibrillator using it,
you're dancing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Maybe there's a lot of people here that are more
qualified to take care of you healthwise.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I don't think so. Just checking for sure. I can
Donald Trump vote for himself or not as a fella?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Thanks, New York is where he was convicted. As long
as he's not incarcerated, he can vote. If he votes
in Florida. Florida basically defers to whatever state the conviction
came from. So yes, as long as he's not in jail,
he can he can vote for himself.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Well, we're talking about the story of survival.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
This Russian man rescued in the stormy see of a
Kotsik after for surviving for more than two months in
this tiny inflatable boat that it lost its engine power.
You argued it was because he was fat and I'm
gonna push I'm gonna push back on that.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I didn't say it's because it definitely helped.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
He wasn't fat, though. They say when he was rescued
he weighed about one hundred and ten pounds. That he
loved half, it says pounds and CBS News.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Well they brought they blew it because if he was
one hundred and ten pounds and he had lost half
his bind, he weighs fifty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, no, he he weighed at least one hundred and
he weighed about one hundred and ten pounds when he
was found. He had lost half of his body weight,
So that puts him at two twenty when he got
on the boat. That's not fat.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, well let me okay, So here's here's the reason.
I said that his wife had said his bulk saved him.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Okay, well, two twenties not thin, but it's not obese.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
No, no fat. I didn't say obese.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Do you think that this is one of those wives
that gets on him about like every little thing he
eats and he is lost his sea for two months
and she's like, yeah, it's his bulk that saved him.
Like just to drive in the knife a little bit
more like you're so fat you were lost at sea
for two months.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
That that's why I don't let you have the pastries.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So they set on a journey in August to watch
whales in this sea. This guy, his forty nine year
old brother and fifteen year old nephew. They didn't make it.
The engine died. They had taken enough food with them
for about two weeks, as well as warm clothes, life jackets,
flares about five gallons of water, but when that engine failed.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
They were left adrift.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
It's the coldest sea in East Asia, and it's known
for its gales.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The akotsik kotsk a hot skick that sounded like it hurt.
It did.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Mikhyle Pitchugen is the guy's name, and transport officials now
in Russia are suggesting that he may have violated safety
rules and that he could face a criminal charge and
even a prison sentence of up to seven years.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They don't play in Russia. There's no restorative justice.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Mikyle told the fisherman who rescued him that his nephew
died in early September, after which the brothers spent about
three weeks together on the boat, and they began to
get bed sores from sitting so long. As brother tried
to wash himself and fell into the water. Mikyle retrieved him,
but he says he died soon after.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
We've seen all the movies.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You go bats crazy when you're lost at sea, right,
how do you not?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
How do you not? Especially if it's your brother there?
You got to talk to your brother for three weeks?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh man, Actually, my brother's probably the only person in
the world that I could handle for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
For three weeks, the guy Mikyle tied his brother's body
and his nephew's body to the boat to prevent them
from falling into.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
The choppy waters. Well, that was nice of him.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Hung their life jackets on the side of the boat
in an attempt to attract attention.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I wonder if there's going to be a money angle,
like one of the brothers owed the other brother's money
or it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Was actually he was actually three brothers and a nephew
that started on the trip.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
What happened to the other brother?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Like, it's not a crazy enough story, let's add some
icing on it.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Do that a true crime Tuesday? What happened to the
other brother?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
All right, Hey, a big announcement tomorrow apparently from the
La County DA's office regarding the Menendez brothers, to the
point where the family has been asked by George Gascoon
to attend this news conference. Can you please not ignore
the fact that election day is November fifth.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
That's all I hear when you say exactly the DA
has asked the family of the Menendez brothers to be
at the well. Which family members It's a good question,
because some family members are on their sides, some or
not right.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We'll talk about that when we come back. You've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. 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.
