Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Well, Vice President Kamala Harris
is heading to Detroit today. As we have predicted and reported,
she's looking to get support from black voters.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's where we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Man, you're gonna make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Bad news.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Hey, Joey.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
A town hall too, clearly built on a swamp in
so many ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I have a watch of malarkeybody.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I said, oh, that's soph You know the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
So this is the first of what will be several
interviews over the course of the next couple of days
that are going to be watched pretty pretty fervently. I
think this is a town hall in Detroit hosted by
Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
This was after making local stops with black entrepreneurs in Detroit.
She has been underperforming compared to Biden support from black men,
and they're working to win them back. They rolled out
Obama which I don't think went over very well because
Obama still has that thing that's really unpalatable now in
twenty twenty four of appearing to talk down to people,
(01:23):
and it really doesn't go over anymore. A lot of
politicians have had that type of delivery for generations, but
now it's the plane talking candidate that people gravitate towards.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Nobody likes. Yeah, nobody likes to be scolded.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Right, and Hillary Clinton learned that. I think that was
the end of that. But this is what I think
is odd. Harris rolled out a series of initiatives yesterday
aimed at winning back the blackmail voters, including yeah, number
one on the number one on the list, legalizing recreational marijuana. Now,
if my vote was to be wooed, and the first
(02:02):
thing you were going to offer me is if you
want to smoke pot, like for fun, go ahead. I'm
down with that, Like what do you think of me?
But that's my number one concern.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, and she put it this way. She said that
that market of legal cannabis sales is an opportunity for
black men to be involved, to get involved as entrepreneurs than.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
White men or white women or black women.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
White black men again to me incredibly condescending Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
If that came from Trump, he'd be labeled a racist
and run off into the I mean, it would be awful.
Everyone would be talking about how out of touch he is.
And oh, of course the old white man wants to
give the young black men all the weed, right, Like,
it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
She also rolled out a plan that would give fully
forgivable up to twenty thousand dollars loans for black entrepreneurs
starting businesses, boosting and vestment, creating new career pathways for
black men in education, launching what the campaign called the
National Health Equity Initiative, targeted at men who disproportionately suffer
from things like sickle cell anemia, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer.
(03:15):
Just after, like you said, the comments from Barack Obama
where he was appealing, he said to black voters in
Pittsburgh by basically saying, for some reason, the brothers have
a problem voting for Kamala Harrison. That shouldn't be that way.
I mean, you look at the percentages. I saw it
this morning, the percentages of voters who went for Clinton
(03:36):
in twenty sixteen Biden in twenty twenty compared to the
numbers for Harris in twenty twenty four, and it has
dropped each year to the point now where I think
Harris overall Black registered voters are seventeen percent less likely
to vote for Harris now than they voted for Hillary Clinton.
They went by eighty percent for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen,
(03:59):
and now overall all Black voters only sixty three percent
say they're going to go for Kamala Harris. So there's
something clearly going on there. Does the town hall with
Charlotne the god change that? I don't know. She's in Detroit,
if that makes any difference. She has agreed also to
an interview with Fox News. Fox says the interview is
going to be with their chief political anchor Brett Baher.
(04:21):
It will take place near Philadelphia tomorrow just before they
turn around and air it at about three o'clock hour
time on his program called Special Report. She is expected
to sit for twenty five to thirty minutes or so
of questions, and according to Fox, at least they've said
that they have zero plans to edit it, they're not
going to change anything about it, and that the Harris
(04:43):
campaign has not said anything is off the table, so
that is good news. The other thing is Harris could
sit down for an interview with Joe Rogan. Former President
Trump already said that he was going to sit down
with Joe Rogan for the podcast sometime before election day,
and Harris campaign officials apparently met with Joe Rogan's team
this week, but and appearance has not yet been confirmed.
(05:07):
They better start getting on this because some of those
you know, some early voting has started, and some of
those swing states were already seeing it. For example, today
is the start of voting in Georgia. Georgia was won
by Biden in twenty twenty by about twelve thousand votes.
So these are important messages to make sure that you
get out. My god, what quick. Oh, it's called the
(05:28):
Mandela effect. That I was worried about that I was
misremembering something and assuming everybody had that same memory of
the wicked witch of the of the East.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So you're like Brian Williams and Tim Walls, you were
in China.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, they lie intentionally the crash. I thought I remembered
something that was not important to anyone's life, which what
was the provenance of the ruby slippers? Nobody cares, Gary
and Shannah. I wanted to be right.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You are right, you are right. I said it twice.
We're all fresh out here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
If you say it three times, I'm right forever. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I have breaking Village People News.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Under the umbrella of nobody cares, Breaking village people News.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
One of the headlines surrounding Trump this morning has been
that he danced for thirty eight minutes at a town
hall in Pennsylvania while people were dropping to the floor
fainting from the heat. The songs played Ave Maria, It's
a man's man's world, All a lujah, nothing compares to you.
It's been seven hours and sixteen days. Is that the
(06:46):
way that one starts something of that nature?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Al Lujah? November Rain from Guns.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
N' Roses and y MCA from the Village People. The
singer of the Village People of one of the head singers,
says we no longer oppose his use of yms.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Apparently they did.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
The frontman, Victor Willis is his name, no longer speaking
out against Donald Trump using the song YMCA. Why because
they're benefiting greatly from publicity money.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Say they're getting paid follow the money.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He issued a formal response after Trump danced for nearly
forty minutes, confess there's not much he can do about it.
He says that he is legally allowed to play YMCA
at his events. He previously applied for a political use
license from the Performing Rights Organization. He continued on that
(07:36):
Trump's use of YMCA has greatly benefited the song. For example,
when Trump started using YMCA the shot, the song shot
back up to number two on Billboard's Digital chart. Now,
he said he could get his wife, who's a lawyer,
to revoke Trump's license, but he's decided not to do
so because money.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I'm sorry, Did you say the lead singer of y
has a wife, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And she apparently who is an attorney.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sent a letter after Trump had a Village People cover
band perform at Laura Mara.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Lago last year. Hum, but because of money.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
More breaking news.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you want to know which one it is?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Like? Which of the characters is in the Village People?
Sure it is construction worker, the cop, the.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Navy man. Is this the Navy? I believe it's the Navy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, because in the Navy. You can sail the seventh So.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm looking at is uh Yes, a naval officer in
the group. He performed costumed as a policeman and the
naval officer.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Former President Bill Clinton is on the campaign trail for
Kamala Harris and said something that Republicans have picked up
on because they've been saying the exact same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Now.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The former president was in Georgia, I believe, and during
a campaign event for Kamala Harris talked about the immigration
bill that was killed by Congress earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Trump killed the bill. The bill was being written by
senior Republicans in the Senate and he killed the bill.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Why.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
He had a case in Georgia not very.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Long ago, didn't you.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
They made an ad about it about it young woman
who'd been killed by an emigrant. Yeah, well, if they
had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Say that again, President.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
But if they all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen,
and America is not having enough babies to keep our
populations up, So we need immigrants that have been vetted
to do work.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Okay, Wow, that was a So he's referring to the
case of Lake and Riley, this young nurse who was
killed by an undocumented in the jogger. Right, and he
said it twice that if they had been vetted, that
this might not have happened. Who was in charge, which
is exactly what Republicans have been saying, right in that
(10:21):
case and many other cases.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And then the idea that Americans aren't having babies, so
we have to bring in immigrants. We documented that story repeatedly.
The baby shortage is global. Yes, China's going door to
door saying are you pregnant yet?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, America is never going to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, But I'm just saying it's a problem everywhere, not
just well.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And it's a weird it's a weird economic argument in
favor of immigration. But again, vetted, legalized, controlled immigration is
what he's arguing for, which is what we don't have.
I mean, listen, both sides has been in control in
the last forty years, both sides of that opportunities to
(11:03):
pass comprehensive immigration reform, whatever that means to you, and
neither side has done it. But the idea that was
a weird that was specific, I mean a weirdly specific
thing for him to say in reference to that Lake
and Riley case and then kind of throw Democrats under
the bus while he's campaigning for you know, Democrats.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
That's why we don't bring people out of the closet.
They go away into the closet.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Leave them there. They've done their service.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Here's a fun fact about Victor Willis, the naval officer
slash policemen from the Village People. His first wife was
Claire Huxtable. It was Felicia Rossaud rashad H. He met
her when the two did the Broadway production of The
whiz which we just happened to be talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
The Wizard of Oz Ruby slippers in the Wizzards.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know, but wow, okay, world's colliding.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Towers, pines.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nobody knows what that means.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
We do, and that's what's important. What's wrong with CBS
News and our other networks doing the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Keep it in your bathtub. Relatively clean water. It's perfectly
drinkable if you don't think that's depreending on what you
do in your bathtub. But you can always boil your
water if you need to clean.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It last night.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Oh that sounds like you make a beautiful glass of
cool laughing sounds off ast water before you imagine gross.
And then we're also talking about the Wizard of Oz
and the Star Wars.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Is Hey, Garyan Shannon, it's trash. I'm out in San
Bernardino and working. You guys cracked me up. But Shannon,
it's actually uh boba and django fet f e tt.
Like Frank Edward Thomas Thomas, I kept looking at my
radio in the car, going Gary, please please correct this
(13:02):
woman after he kept saying it wrong, making me crack up. Anyway,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, how many we just tell you? Many corrections? Did
we get?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Half a dozen?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
It's not worth it. It's not worth it for me to
waste my breath and correct you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Does anybody think that I don't know what I'm doing
Because I know exactly what I'm doing, and I do
it to bother him.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's my favorite part because people lose their mond.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I know, it's so good. Do you want your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I didn't realize that was still a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Unfortunately for you, It's not about the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You're not going to come up with your own trivia
questions today?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh yeah, I was going to do that long Well, anyway,
this is you'll get the structural idioms for six hundred dollars.
Moving these structures found on a football field has come
to me.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And changing the rules.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Goalposts, yeah, I was thinking moving the chains.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
My first thought was move the sticks and that sense
that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Okay, Well, the percentage of Americans who say they have
a great deal or a fair amount of trust in
the mass media has fallen to a record low. I
hate having these discussions because I wonder where people would
would put us in this show, specifically this show, not
(14:27):
even the station in general.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Here's the thing with this show.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We do tend to lean towards presenting the facts and
you make your own decisions. We're going to have opinions
from time to time about things good, good things to
say about Democrats, bad things to say about democrats, and
the same thing goes for the Republicans as well.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That's kind of where we stand.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We don't present ourselves as journalists on this show.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, we have a journalism background.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yes, we were reporters, we were news anchors, we had
no opinion for many many years, or you at least
never knew about it. But this show is not CBS News, right,
This show is not under the banner of fair and
balanced news. Not just we present the facts. You eat
them up, and you know, figure out whatever your opinion
(15:18):
is based on those. You digest those however you want.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I don't, and I think that we try to do
as much as possible show our math. Right, there are
times when we have to leap to we have to
jump to some sort of a conclusion because all the
facts aren't in or whatever, and that's when that opinion
comes in and people want to call it bias or
whatever you want. That's fine, but that's that's kind of
what we try to do here. So the idea that
(15:46):
Americans say they have a great deal or a fair
the percentage of those who say they have a great
dealer fair amount of trust in the mass media has
fallen to a record low. Media is now the least
trusted civic and political institute surveyed by Gallup. Most Americans
say they have a great deal or a fair amount
of trust in Congress, the Supreme Court. I should say
(16:06):
more than more have trust in Congress, the Supreme Court,
local and state government, and the executive branch. Then in
the media thirty one percent. Now, one of the issues
lately has been something that ABC News recognized back in
the summer. I'm sure they have discussions about this on
(16:27):
a regular basis, but they noticed it back in the summer.
After the Trump Biden debate from June, there were questions
about President Biden's ability to do the job. And when
ABC sat down with him, they knew they would be
accused of chicanery, of cheating, of lying, of editing unless
(16:51):
they gave a full accounting of the interview that George
Defhanopolis did with President Biden. Then their credit and they
aired the whole thing. The interview that Sixty Minutes did
with Kamala Harris just last week showed that CBS didn't
learn what ABC did, and that is in the event
(17:14):
that you've got somebody who has who is vying for
the most important position right now in the world, the
leader of the free world, President of the United States,
we need to see what's going on. We need to
see what's going on with them cognitively, we need to
see what's going on with them their thought processes, process sees,
(17:38):
not mine, and they edited the interview that they did
with Kamala Harris, whether it was for time, whether it
was for clarity, whatever it was, and just say that
they need to tell us that exactly. So CBS interviewed
speaker Mike Johnson this weekend as well.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So that's a different accounting than this two percent you
say it was distributed.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Yeah, so they've obligated some funds, but they've only distributed
two percent. The rescue and recovery efforts still going on.
And then we addressed the rest of.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It eleven seconds, question and answer eleven seconds. Mike Johnson
was actually rolling on the interview at the time. The
actual answer is about forty seconds. Law.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So that's a different accounting than this two percent you
say it was distributed.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yeah, so they've obligated some funds, but they've only distributed
two percent. And when I was there on the ground,
and you should go, I mean, bring the cameras and
talk to the people there. They'll tell you don't take
politicians' words for this, or the administrations were talk to
people there on the ground. They had not been provided
the resources. Almost two weeks out from the storm that
they desperately needed. And when I was there thirteen days
(18:39):
post post the storm hitting that state, people are still
being rescued. They're stuck in the higher elevations in the
mountains because the roads are down and all the rest,
so they need every available resource in all hands on deck.
The rescue and recovery efforts still going on. And then
we addressed the rest of it now.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And what Mike Johnson's point was he was saying was
he wasn't just clarifying the answer that he gave. He
was pointing out the fact that the people on the
ground have said they're not getting the storm relief funds
that they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And that was my problem with Joe Biden touring the
storm area and then saying everybody's happy across the board
or whatever. Just say, hey, the storm area is massive.
It's going to take longer than it should for us
to get these supplies to these people. Unfortunately, because the
storm area is so large and we understand you're hurting
(19:30):
and we're trying our hardest to get to you, say that,
say yeah, we are inadequate right now because of the
extent of the devastation. Don't just say everyone's happy across
the board. That's just lying.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
We saw that during COVID the government was unable to
acknowledge its own weaknesses. Yeah, because when they're afraid that
if you do that, if you acknowledge the weakness, you
lose the public's confidence in you. And it's when, in fact, when,
in fact, that was more damaging.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I wanted them to say, I don't know, we don't know, right,
that would have been more refreshing than we know. And
we're going to tell you how to live your life.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I still want the music, Oh needy, well.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Cool on no one?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
When was the first major league baseball game played?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
When was the first major league baseball game play? I'll
give you a hint. It was May fourth major league
baseball game, like professional game or major.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'll tell you the teams. If you tell me the year,
does that help Cincinnati? It was Cleveland, Forest Cities and
Fort Wayne Kee Kayonga's eighteen sixty four, eighteen seventy one.
Not bad, close, not bad.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
What was the year range? You were going to give me?
Within twenty five years, within ten years, I wanted you
to nail it. Well, I didn't, but you got close,
very close.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
I love the seriousness of you telling us that you're
not CBS News thirty minutes after conflating Wicked, Wizard of
Oz and Harry Potter right not to mention Gary Terming
coining the term tectonic soaphine, I don't think any of
us thought this was CBS Today.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Good nor every day any day. Do you want a
nice story? You want some good news?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
In Austin, Texas, Olivia lives with her two cats. She's
a senior accountant. One cat has been there for six years. Okay,
his name is Frank. Frank, the cat's been there for
six years. Well, Olivia decided to get a kitten recently.
(21:53):
Kitten's name is Waylon, and Waylon was on top of
the kitchen counter and Frank was like, oh, hell no,
we don't do that in this house. So Frank hops
up to the kitchen counter and you can kind of
see Frank figuring out how.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Do I get this kitten off for here? We don't
do this in this house. And so.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The cat, Frank picks up Whalan by the scruff of
his neck and pulls it off the kitchen counter to
teach him the house rules. It's extremely rare for a
male cat, Frank in this situation to carry a kitten
like that, like that's a female cat thing to do.
(22:39):
But Frank his maternal instinct kicked in and he grabbed
Whalen by the scruff of his neck, and Whalen learned
a lesson that night. We don't get on the kitchen
counter in this house.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Where would you find this news item? It's a friend
send this to you, like, guess what happened to my
cat today?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
No, I have my ways of finding good stories.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's kind of like the story you'd hear at the
end of the CBS newscast.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
No, it's not with video.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What video would there exist of a cat?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I just watched the video. That's how I was able
to describe it to you.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
What are you looking at on that computer? You worry me?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's not all boner boner boner x x x. Well,
sometimes it's cat videos. Actually, that's probably the first cat
video I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
That's also not true.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Hmm, pretty true.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I don't like it when you lie.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
What else? What other cat videos would I watch?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Your face scrunches up when you lie, or maybe wait,
your face just scrunches up.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Maybe those are just wrinkles.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
They could be wrinkles, but I think it's probably that
your face is crunching up.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Well, your face is always scrunched out. You look like
the guy in up we're gonna do. It's like weird
insult Carl uh or the old guy, the old villain guy.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, Carl Fredrickson, No, you sure you're not talking about
the villain.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
This is who you look like. I do not, all right?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
What was that whole segment about a cat that did
a cat thing on a counter?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It was a male cat.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Male cats don't usually pick up kittens by the scruff
of their neck.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
How many times do I have to say it twice
at least before you convince me that? Well, okay, all
of our trending stories 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 kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Well, Vice President Kamala Harris
is heading to Detroit today. As we have predicted and reported,
she's looking to get support from black voters.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's where we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Man, you're gonna make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Bad news.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Hey, Joey.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
A town hall too, clearly built on a swamp in
so many ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I have a watch of malarkeybody.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I said, oh, that's soph You know the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
So this is the first of what will be several
interviews over the course of the next couple of days
that are going to be watched pretty pretty fervently. I
think this is a town hall in Detroit hosted by
Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
This was after making local stops with black entrepreneurs in Detroit.
She has been underperforming compared to Biden support from black men,
and they're working to win them back. They rolled out
Obama which I don't think went over very well because
Obama still has that thing that's really unpalatable now in
twenty twenty four of appearing to talk down to people,
(01:23):
and it really doesn't go over anymore. A lot of
politicians have had that type of delivery for generations, but
now it's the plane talking candidate that people gravitate towards.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Nobody likes. Yeah, nobody likes to be scolded.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Right, and Hillary Clinton learned that. I think that was
the end of that. But this is what I think
is odd. Harris rolled out a series of initiatives yesterday
aimed at winning back the blackmail voters, including yeah, number
one on the number one on the list, legalizing recreational marijuana. Now,
if my vote was to be wooed, and the first
(02:02):
thing you were going to offer me is if you
want to smoke pot, like for fun, go ahead. I'm
down with that, Like what do you think of me?
But that's my number one concern.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, and she put it this way. She said that
that market of legal cannabis sales is an opportunity for
black men to be involved, to get involved as entrepreneurs than.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
White men or white women or black women.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
White black men again to me incredibly condescending Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
If that came from Trump, he'd be labeled a racist
and run off into the I mean, it would be awful.
Everyone would be talking about how out of touch he is.
And oh, of course the old white man wants to
give the young black men all the weed, right, Like,
it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
She also rolled out a plan that would give fully
forgivable up to twenty thousand dollars loans for black entrepreneurs
starting businesses, boosting and vestment, creating new career pathways for
black men in education, launching what the campaign called the
National Health Equity Initiative, targeted at men who disproportionately suffer
from things like sickle cell anemia, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer.
(03:15):
Just after, like you said, the comments from Barack Obama
where he was appealing, he said to black voters in
Pittsburgh by basically saying, for some reason, the brothers have
a problem voting for Kamala Harrison. That shouldn't be that way.
I mean, you look at the percentages. I saw it
this morning, the percentages of voters who went for Clinton
(03:36):
in twenty sixteen Biden in twenty twenty compared to the
numbers for Harris in twenty twenty four, and it has
dropped each year to the point now where I think
Harris overall Black registered voters are seventeen percent less likely
to vote for Harris now than they voted for Hillary Clinton.
They went by eighty percent for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen,
(03:59):
and now overall all Black voters only sixty three percent
say they're going to go for Kamala Harris. So there's
something clearly going on there. Does the town hall with
Charlotne the god change that? I don't know. She's in Detroit,
if that makes any difference. She has agreed also to
an interview with Fox News. Fox says the interview is
going to be with their chief political anchor Brett Baher.
(04:21):
It will take place near Philadelphia tomorrow just before they
turn around and air it at about three o'clock hour
time on his program called Special Report. She is expected
to sit for twenty five to thirty minutes or so
of questions, and according to Fox, at least they've said
that they have zero plans to edit it, they're not
going to change anything about it, and that the Harris
(04:43):
campaign has not said anything is off the table, so
that is good news. The other thing is Harris could
sit down for an interview with Joe Rogan. Former President
Trump already said that he was going to sit down
with Joe Rogan for the podcast sometime before election day,
and Harris campaign officials apparently met with Joe Rogan's team
this week, but and appearance has not yet been confirmed.
(05:07):
They better start getting on this because some of those
you know, some early voting has started, and some of
those swing states were already seeing it. For example, today
is the start of voting in Georgia. Georgia was won
by Biden in twenty twenty by about twelve thousand votes.
So these are important messages to make sure that you
get out. My god, what quick. Oh, it's called the
(05:28):
Mandela effect. That I was worried about that I was
misremembering something and assuming everybody had that same memory of
the wicked witch of the of the East.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So you're like Brian Williams and Tim Walls, you were
in China.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, they lie intentionally the crash. I thought I remembered
something that was not important to anyone's life, which what
was the provenance of the ruby slippers? Nobody cares, Gary
and Shannah. I wanted to be right.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You are right, you are right. I said it twice.
We're all fresh out here.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
If you say it three times, I'm right forever. Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I have breaking Village People News.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Under the umbrella of nobody cares, Breaking village people News.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
One of the headlines surrounding Trump this morning has been
that he danced for thirty eight minutes at a town
hall in Pennsylvania while people were dropping to the floor
fainting from the heat. The songs played Ave Maria, It's
a man's man's world, All a lujah, nothing compares to you.
It's been seven hours and sixteen days. Is that the
(06:46):
way that one starts something of that nature?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Al Lujah? November Rain from Guns.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
N' Roses and y MCA from the Village People. The
singer of the Village People of one of the head singers,
says we no longer oppose his use of yms.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Apparently they did.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
The frontman, Victor Willis is his name, no longer speaking
out against Donald Trump using the song YMCA. Why because
they're benefiting greatly from publicity money.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Say they're getting paid follow the money.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He issued a formal response after Trump danced for nearly
forty minutes, confess there's not much he can do about it.
He says that he is legally allowed to play YMCA
at his events. He previously applied for a political use
license from the Performing Rights Organization. He continued on that
(07:36):
Trump's use of YMCA has greatly benefited the song. For example,
when Trump started using YMCA the shot, the song shot
back up to number two on Billboard's Digital chart. Now,
he said he could get his wife, who's a lawyer,
to revoke Trump's license, but he's decided not to do
so because money.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I'm sorry, Did you say the lead singer of y
has a wife, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And she apparently who is an attorney.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sent a letter after Trump had a Village People cover
band perform at Laura Mara.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Lago last year. Hum, but because of money.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
More breaking news.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Do you want to know which one it is?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Like? Which of the characters is in the Village People?
Sure it is construction worker, the cop, the.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Navy man. Is this the Navy? I believe it's the Navy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, because in the Navy. You can sail the seventh So.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I'm looking at is uh Yes, a naval officer in
the group. He performed costumed as a policeman and the
naval officer.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Former President Bill Clinton is on the campaign trail for
Kamala Harris and said something that Republicans have picked up
on because they've been saying the exact same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Now.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
The former president was in Georgia, I believe, and during
a campaign event for Kamala Harris talked about the immigration
bill that was killed by Congress earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Trump killed the bill. The bill was being written by
senior Republicans in the Senate and he killed the bill.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Why.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
He had a case in Georgia not very.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Long ago, didn't you.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
They made an ad about it about it young woman
who'd been killed by an emigrant. Yeah, well, if they
had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Say that again, President.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
But if they all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen,
and America is not having enough babies to keep our
populations up, So we need immigrants that have been vetted
to do work.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Okay, Wow, that was a So he's referring to the
case of Lake and Riley, this young nurse who was
killed by an undocumented in the jogger. Right, and he
said it twice that if they had been vetted, that
this might not have happened. Who was in charge, which
is exactly what Republicans have been saying, right in that
(10:21):
case and many other cases.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And then the idea that Americans aren't having babies, so
we have to bring in immigrants. We documented that story repeatedly.
The baby shortage is global. Yes, China's going door to
door saying are you pregnant yet?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, America is never going to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, But I'm just saying it's a problem everywhere, not
just well.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And it's a weird it's a weird economic argument in
favor of immigration. But again, vetted, legalized, controlled immigration is
what he's arguing for, which is what we don't have.
I mean, listen, both sides has been in control in
the last forty years, both sides of that opportunities to
(11:03):
pass comprehensive immigration reform, whatever that means to you, and
neither side has done it. But the idea that was
a weird that was specific, I mean a weirdly specific
thing for him to say in reference to that Lake
and Riley case and then kind of throw Democrats under
the bus while he's campaigning for you know, Democrats.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
That's why we don't bring people out of the closet.
They go away into the closet.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Leave them there. They've done their service.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Here's a fun fact about Victor Willis, the naval officer
slash policemen from the Village People. His first wife was
Claire Huxtable. It was Felicia Rossaud rashad H. He met
her when the two did the Broadway production of The
whiz which we just happened to be talking about.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
The Wizard of Oz Ruby slippers in the Wizzards.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know, but wow, okay, world's colliding.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Towers, pines.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Nobody knows what that means.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
We do, and that's what's important. What's wrong with CBS
News and our other networks doing the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Keep it in your bathtub. Relatively clean water. It's perfectly
drinkable if you don't think that's depreending on what you
do in your bathtub. But you can always boil your
water if you need to clean.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It last night.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Oh that sounds like you make a beautiful glass of
cool laughing sounds off ast water before you imagine gross.
And then we're also talking about the Wizard of Oz
and the Star Wars.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Is Hey, Garyan Shannon, it's trash. I'm out in San
Bernardino and working. You guys cracked me up. But Shannon,
it's actually uh boba and django fet f e tt.
Like Frank Edward Thomas Thomas, I kept looking at my
radio in the car, going Gary, please please correct this
(13:02):
woman after he kept saying it wrong, making me crack up. Anyway,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, how many we just tell you? Many corrections? Did
we get?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Half a dozen?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
It's not worth it. It's not worth it for me to
waste my breath and correct you.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Does anybody think that I don't know what I'm doing
Because I know exactly what I'm doing, and I do
it to bother him.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's my favorite part because people lose their mond.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I know, it's so good. Do you want your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I didn't realize that was still a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Unfortunately for you, It's not about the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You're not going to come up with your own trivia
questions today?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh yeah, I was going to do that long Well, anyway,
this is you'll get the structural idioms for six hundred dollars.
Moving these structures found on a football field has come
to me.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And changing the rules.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Goalposts, yeah, I was thinking moving the chains.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
My first thought was move the sticks and that sense
that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Okay, Well, the percentage of Americans who say they have
a great deal or a fair amount of trust in
the mass media has fallen to a record low. I
hate having these discussions because I wonder where people would
would put us in this show, specifically this show, not
(14:27):
even the station in general.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Here's the thing with this show.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We do tend to lean towards presenting the facts and
you make your own decisions. We're going to have opinions
from time to time about things good, good things to
say about Democrats, bad things to say about democrats, and
the same thing goes for the Republicans as well.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That's kind of where we stand.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We don't present ourselves as journalists on this show.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, we have a journalism background.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yes, we were reporters, we were news anchors, we had
no opinion for many many years, or you at least
never knew about it. But this show is not CBS News, right,
This show is not under the banner of fair and
balanced news. Not just we present the facts. You eat
them up, and you know, figure out whatever your opinion
(15:18):
is based on those. You digest those however you want.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I don't, and I think that we try to do
as much as possible show our math. Right, there are
times when we have to leap to we have to
jump to some sort of a conclusion because all the
facts aren't in or whatever, and that's when that opinion
comes in and people want to call it bias or
whatever you want. That's fine, but that's that's kind of
what we try to do here. So the idea that
(15:46):
Americans say they have a great deal or a fair
the percentage of those who say they have a great
dealer fair amount of trust in the mass media has
fallen to a record low. Media is now the least
trusted civic and political institute surveyed by Gallup. Most Americans
say they have a great deal or a fair amount
of trust in Congress, the Supreme Court. I should say
(16:06):
more than more have trust in Congress, the Supreme Court,
local and state government, and the executive branch. Then in
the media thirty one percent. Now, one of the issues
lately has been something that ABC News recognized back in
the summer. I'm sure they have discussions about this on
(16:27):
a regular basis, but they noticed it back in the summer.
After the Trump Biden debate from June, there were questions
about President Biden's ability to do the job. And when
ABC sat down with him, they knew they would be
accused of chicanery, of cheating, of lying, of editing unless
(16:51):
they gave a full accounting of the interview that George
Defhanopolis did with President Biden. Then their credit and they
aired the whole thing. The interview that Sixty Minutes did
with Kamala Harris just last week showed that CBS didn't
learn what ABC did, and that is in the event
(17:14):
that you've got somebody who has who is vying for
the most important position right now in the world, the
leader of the free world, President of the United States,
we need to see what's going on. We need to
see what's going on with them cognitively, we need to
see what's going on with them their thought processes, process sees,
(17:38):
not mine, and they edited the interview that they did
with Kamala Harris, whether it was for time, whether it
was for clarity, whatever it was, and just say that
they need to tell us that exactly. So CBS interviewed
speaker Mike Johnson this weekend as well.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So that's a different accounting than this two percent you
say it was distributed.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Yeah, so they've obligated some funds, but they've only distributed
two percent. The rescue and recovery efforts still going on.
And then we addressed the rest of.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It eleven seconds, question and answer eleven seconds. Mike Johnson
was actually rolling on the interview at the time. The
actual answer is about forty seconds. Law.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So that's a different accounting than this two percent you
say it was distributed.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Yeah, so they've obligated some funds, but they've only distributed
two percent. And when I was there on the ground,
and you should go, I mean, bring the cameras and
talk to the people there. They'll tell you don't take
politicians' words for this, or the administrations were talk to
people there on the ground. They had not been provided
the resources. Almost two weeks out from the storm that
they desperately needed. And when I was there thirteen days
(18:39):
post post the storm hitting that state, people are still
being rescued. They're stuck in the higher elevations in the
mountains because the roads are down and all the rest,
so they need every available resource in all hands on deck.
The rescue and recovery efforts still going on. And then
we addressed the rest of it now.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And what Mike Johnson's point was he was saying was
he wasn't just clarifying the answer that he gave. He
was pointing out the fact that the people on the
ground have said they're not getting the storm relief funds
that they're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And that was my problem with Joe Biden touring the
storm area and then saying everybody's happy across the board
or whatever. Just say, hey, the storm area is massive.
It's going to take longer than it should for us
to get these supplies to these people. Unfortunately, because the
storm area is so large and we understand you're hurting
(19:30):
and we're trying our hardest to get to you, say that,
say yeah, we are inadequate right now because of the
extent of the devastation. Don't just say everyone's happy across
the board. That's just lying.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
We saw that during COVID the government was unable to
acknowledge its own weaknesses. Yeah, because when they're afraid that
if you do that, if you acknowledge the weakness, you
lose the public's confidence in you. And it's when, in fact, when,
in fact, that was more damaging.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I wanted them to say, I don't know, we don't know, right,
that would have been more refreshing than we know. And
we're going to tell you how to live your life.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I still want the music, Oh needy, well.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Cool on no one?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
When was the first major league baseball game played?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
When was the first major league baseball game play? I'll
give you a hint. It was May fourth major league
baseball game, like professional game or major.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I'll tell you the teams. If you tell me the year,
does that help Cincinnati? It was Cleveland, Forest Cities and
Fort Wayne Kee Kayonga's eighteen sixty four, eighteen seventy one.
Not bad, close, not bad.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
What was the year range? You were going to give me?
Within twenty five years, within ten years, I wanted you
to nail it. Well, I didn't, but you got close,
very close.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
I love the seriousness of you telling us that you're
not CBS News thirty minutes after conflating Wicked, Wizard of
Oz and Harry Potter right not to mention Gary Terming
coining the term tectonic soaphine, I don't think any of
us thought this was CBS Today.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Good nor every day any day. Do you want a
nice story? You want some good news?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
In Austin, Texas, Olivia lives with her two cats. She's
a senior accountant. One cat has been there for six years. Okay,
his name is Frank. Frank, the cat's been there for
six years. Well, Olivia decided to get a kitten recently.
(21:53):
Kitten's name is Waylon, and Waylon was on top of
the kitchen counter and Frank was like, oh, hell no,
we don't do that in this house. So Frank hops
up to the kitchen counter and you can kind of
see Frank figuring out how.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Do I get this kitten off for here? We don't
do this in this house. And so.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The cat, Frank picks up Whalan by the scruff of
his neck and pulls it off the kitchen counter to
teach him the house rules. It's extremely rare for a
male cat, Frank in this situation to carry a kitten
like that, like that's a female cat thing to do.
(22:39):
But Frank his maternal instinct kicked in and he grabbed
Whalen by the scruff of his neck, and Whalen learned
a lesson that night. We don't get on the kitchen
counter in this house.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Where would you find this news item? It's a friend
send this to you, like, guess what happened to my
cat today?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
No, I have my ways of finding good stories.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's kind of like the story you'd hear at the
end of the CBS newscast.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
No, it's not with video.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What video would there exist of a cat?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I just watched the video. That's how I was able
to describe it to you.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
What are you looking at on that computer? You worry me?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's not all boner boner boner x x x. Well,
sometimes it's cat videos. Actually, that's probably the first cat
video I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
That's also not true.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Hmm, pretty true.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
I don't like it when you lie.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
What else? What other cat videos would I watch?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Your face scrunches up when you lie, or maybe wait,
your face just scrunches up.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Maybe those are just wrinkles.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
They could be wrinkles, but I think it's probably that
your face is crunching up.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Well, your face is always scrunched out. You look like
the guy in up we're gonna do. It's like weird
insult Carl uh or the old guy, the old villain guy.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, Carl Fredrickson, No, you sure you're not talking about
the villain.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
This is who you look like. I do not, all right?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
What was that whole segment about a cat that did
a cat thing on a counter?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It was a male cat.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Male cats don't usually pick up kittens by the scruff
of their neck.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
How many times do I have to say it twice
at least before you convince me that? Well, okay, all
of our trending stories when we come back. You've been
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
