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):
This, I think, unfortunately, is going to be a repeated
story over the next couple of weeks. Georgia's Secretary of
State's office says it has fended off a cyber attack
aimed at crashing the website that the state's voters use
to request absenceee ballots.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
No disruption. They said.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
It slowed the system down for a bit, but it
never stopped the system from working. According to Gabe Sterling,
an official in the secretary of State's office there in
the state.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Of Georgia, McDonald's trying to restore confidence and customers who
may be turned away from the whole you know e
coal I bucket situation. The president of McDonald's one on
NBC's Today's Show says they're confident people can go to
McDonald's and enjoy the classics. Man, I love McDonald's so much.
I just roll the dice, Eh, It's worth the risk.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We've talked for a couple of weeks now, probably a
couple of months about this Eric and Lyle Menendez story
where there are some criminal justice warriors maybe who think
that Eric and Lyilemanindez should not be in prison for
the rest of their lives for murdering their parents back
when they were eighteen and twenty one years old.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Somebody has really sold everybody on the whole they were
molested narrative. What they don't talk about is how very
rare it is. First of all, that they were doing
their homework on how to get away with murder leading
up to them slaughtering their parents with shotguns, reloading, by
the way, when mom wouldn't die quick enough, going out
(01:39):
to the car, getting more shells, coming back, reloading the
shotgun and taking aim at your mother again, who was
not molesting you, they said, just to put her out
of her misery.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Right, okay, But let's go back.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And all the evidence, by the way, that they were spoiled,
money hungry teenagers eighteen and twenty one whose father was
cutting them off. In the process of cutting them off
because they had made messes of their lives, they were
acting like the spoiled brats they were, so they were
being threatened with being cut off from any sort of money,
and that was not going to be okay for their lifestyle,
(02:15):
so that's why they killed their parents. Then they came
up with this narrative with the help of Leslie Abramson,
the attorney, the defense attorney, who is known for fabricating
evidence that they were being molested. Everybody on TikTok and
who is arguing for these people is failing to understand
the truth. How rare it is for a father to
(02:36):
molest his kids. It is infinitisimal. How often that happens.
It doesn't happen. Fathers don't molest their sons.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The appeals that we've seen in the recent days have
rested on two aspects of just that right there, that
the father was molesting the son. One of those pieces
was supposedly that he was also so molesting a member
of Menudo, one of the boy band Menudo. And then
this letter that came out that Eric reportedly wrote to
his cousin, which surfaced in twenty fifteen, many many years
(03:12):
after the day.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Where did it come from? Was it lying in a
drawer somewhere?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Why didn't it materialize at the trials in the nineties.
Why didn't we have this letter? How did it just
come out of nowhere? Something else about molesters. They don't
molest for years. They don't molest a kid from the
time he's six to the time he's sixteen. Molesters have
a specific age range that they molest in, whether kids,
(03:42):
you know, five to seven or seven to nine.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's gross, but molesters.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Do believe in you aging out of their predilection.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The brother of Kitty Menendez, that's mom, the brother Milton,
has an attorney and says that the attorney says, in
the last few days have received information from several different
sources that the letter is essentially a fraud. The attorney's name,
by the way, Kathleen Katie. She says, these sources claim
they have evidence that would seem to cast doubt on
(04:12):
the veracity of this new evidence, this letter that the
defense has submitted in their habeas petition, and neither mentioned
the letter. Eric Mendez and his cousin both testified about
the abuse that Dad supposedly perpetrated, but neither one of
them mentioned the letter.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
George Gascone is fighting a losing battle trying to retain
his seat as DA, a job he never had any
business doing, and he hasn't really done it at all all.
He's done is hijack the DA's office. George Gascone is
desperately trying to cling to this seat, and he sees
or somebody next to him, somebody at his right hand,
(04:51):
sees all of the fervor going on on TikTok about
Lyle and Aaron Eric Menendez, and thinks he can do
something about it. So he is throwing up the hail Mary,
scheduling this news conference at one thirty to announce his
decision on whether he's going to go to a judge
and recommend that life without Parole is moved off the table.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
In that case, it would go to the parole board.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't even know if it would get that far
because here in California, we don't believe in law and order,
and we have something called elder parole.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
If you're fifty years or older, you get out.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
If you've served twenty years, no matter what your sentence was,
so they would be immediately released. Now I'll tell you
what's going to happen. At one point thirty, George Gascona
is going to announce just that, because he wouldn't hold
a press conference if he wasn't going to exactly Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
That's the we're all held hostage.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The DA's office has bigger fish to fry than this, right,
But he's doing it because, oh, look at the calendar.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He's got twelve days before electure right now. He wants
all the tiktoker's votes. And he realizes that he's being
out fund raised.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Is that a word?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Something like ten to one, eleven to one right now
by Nathan Hoffman who's running against him and absolutely trouncing
him in the polls.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh, he's trying to do something, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
The Kevin da Leone story got a little interesting, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
When I heard this, and I should always go with
my gut, I thought to myself, I feel like this
was a plant, Like I feel like Kevin dal Leone
had something to do with this. I know John has
endorsed him in the afternoon. It's very odd to me.
It's cognitive dissonance. I cannot endorse Kevin Dalion, Like every
part of my being is like grossed out by that
(06:38):
guy and always has been. And I understand the opponent
wants to defund the police, and I understand that he
does not, and that's important. But I don't think in
Los Angeles the police will be defunded. I don't see
that as a reality, and I cannot. I would not
be able to cast a vote for that guy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm not familiar with all of Kanye's work, but went
the police. That's sad. You know, we buy way out
of jail, but we can't buy freedom.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, that is apparently the lyric that isabell Eurrado was
trying to relay when she was asked a question in
a forum. I suppose it's a cal State L a.
This was the question once again, we played it for
you on Monday.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
As someone who's myself pro abolishment of police, where do
you stand on that spectrum? And also, what do you
think about Capnillion's uh discretionary fund spending on overtime for police?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah? What's the wrappers the police? That's when I see
him and reach against the machine. Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He has confirmed Kevin dal Leone that that is one
of his staffers. Martin Perez is one of his staffers.
The Cal State l student who posed the question. They
have not yet said who made the recording. Well, who
else would it be?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I guess Martin Perez handles constituent services in his offices.
He did commend Kevin de Leone commended his aide, saying
that Eurato had been sidestepping questions about police abolition. Now,
what I don't quite understand is is Kevin dalone admitting
that this was a gotcha question that his staffer posed,
(08:33):
or does his staffer believe in the abolition of the police.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, much like in Kevin dal Lyone's own secret recording scandal, yes,
where he compared the black adopted son of a white
colleague as an accessory like a designer handbag. It's not
how the recording was made or who made the recording,
(08:58):
it's what was said.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That is problematic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The fact that she said that at all is problematic, right,
the fact that he said that it all is problematic.
I kind of don't care who made the recording or
how it worked, but it does smell now that you know.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That it was one of his staffers.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Did he go in there with marching orders, Hey, get
her to say something stupid and roll on it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, okay, dally Oone's description of it is they've been
asking during five consecutive debates why she wants to abolish
the police, and he said she confirmed it with a
very vulgar and crude f the police.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yes, but.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's not why she wants to abolish the police. I mean,
I don't know if there's more to the recording because
it cuts off there.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
But the other thing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Is she described this whole thing. It was just a
lyric she said from a rap song. Well that's a
loaded lyric. That's a pretty loaded statement, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We playing about the candidates for president not being our
favorite options. That's a real stinker that I wouldn't be
able to vote for either one of them. Well, I'm
glad I don't have to. You're not in the fourteenth.
I am not not in the fight in fourteenth?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Is that right? I don't know. I want a grenade launcher.
That's probably not a great idea. Do you try to
use it on a squirreldw Yeah, you're damn right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I would be like Caddyshack all over again. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Let's see, prosecutors are going to announce whether or not
they want to recommend that Eric Lylemanendez be re sentenced
for the killings of their parents back in nineteen eighty nine.
Sentenced to life in prison without parole, George Gascow in
the DA scheduled this news conference for one thirty today.
We're all on the edge of our seat to see
what he's going to say. We are not we know
what he's going to say. There's a study. I make this.
(10:57):
I use this.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Analogy. I don't know if that's the right word for it,
but whenever.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
There's a study, I always say, Yeah, there's always a
say coffee is good for you, and the next day
coffee is bad for you. So who cares about all
these studies that say what's good and bad. Well, now
there's a study that say coffee is bad for you,
that it may be harming your hearing because caffeine blocks
a dentisine making it harder for your ears to recover
from daily noise exposure, which can lead to permanent hearing
(11:26):
loss over time. Higher coffee consumption linked to an increased
risk of both speech frequency and high frequency hearing loss.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm trying to make a joke and I can't trying
to think of something that would be funny to say,
what see, you just did it.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's very funny.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Hey, Ganarian, don't worry about the TV nerds and the
dragon dorks about your mispronunciation. It's all good I keep
doing what you do. I love you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
That goes for you too.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Snarian.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I like that, Shnarian. Maybe that's what we should name
your baby, Jacob.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's a baby named Shenarian. Well shut out to me.
Yes yesterday we told you about.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The LA Times, the unusual move that they made to
not endorse a candidate for president this time around, and
the head of the editorial board stepped down yesterday. Mary
el Garza held the title as editorial's editor, says she
quit because she wants to make it clear that she's
not okay with being silent. She said, us being silent
(12:40):
at the LA Times, she said, in dangerous times, honest
people need to stand up. This is how I'm standing up.
She said that the editorial board at the LA Times
did plan to endorse Vice President Harris, but that the
owner of the La Times, doctor Patrick Soon Shong, decided
this month the newspaper wasn't going to make any endorsement
for press. The paper did not explain why they weren't
(13:02):
issuing an endorsement, and then doctor Sun Schong took to
Twitter and explained why they didn't do an endorsement this year,
reading from his tweet form me yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Let me clarify how this decision came about.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a
factual analysis of all the positive and negative policies by
each candidate during their tenures at the White House and
how these policies affected the nation. In addition, the board
was asked to provide their understanding of the policies and
plans enunciated by the candidates during this campaign and the
potential effect on the nation in the next four years.
(13:41):
In this way, with this clear and non partisan information
side by side, our readers could decide who would be
worthy of being president for the next four years.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I'm con he said.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board
chose to remain silent, and I accepted their decision.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And then he writes, please vote.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm conflicted about this story, and my opinion means nothing,
so I can be conflicted.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But part of me my initial thing was how.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Self righteous, how uppity, and like, well, I'm stepping down,
you know. But on the other hand, how many times
do we say when we see a protest or something,
to actually protest something, you have to sacrifice something got.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
To have some skin in the game. She does. Yeah,
so that's kind of why I'm conflicted here.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And not that she won't find another job. She'll work somewhere.
She gave an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review. Maybe
that's where she goes next. Who knows. But this is
one of those things where there's an expectation that we
have newspapers that do political endorsements like this. That's not
(14:48):
to say that it's a requirement. It's definitely not a
requirement legally or anything. I mean, it's just kind of
a tradition that they've been doing. There was also a
time when The Times did not get involved with political endorsements,
at least not on the presidential level. It wasn't until
two thousand and four. They took a lot of time
off and I think the seventies and eighties and didn't
(15:09):
do anything. In two thousand and four they endorsed George W. Bush,
and then since two thousand and eight they've endorsed Democrats
each time, and then of course this is the year
that they've they're not doing an endorsement. The responses to this,
by the way, are pretty interesting. Elon Musk wrote In
response to what doctor Sun Scheong wrote, all he wrote
(15:31):
was makes sense. Keith Olberman, on the other hand, wrote,
you're a useless and spineless horse. Sell the paper, leave
the country. Wow, I don't think it's about the paper.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Dah, when did.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
That?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And then and that's okay. You can findless horror.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You get to scream out something ridiculous like that, and
that's an okay thing.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And you wouldn't say that to someone's face too. That's
the other thing about Twitter.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He might.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I don't know what he's doing lately, yelling at people.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And it's clearly angry about something. And it's not the
La Times, not the milk, it's not the milk. Dyeing
your dogs Apparently groomers are reporting that people are flocking
to their shops to dye their dogs paws or positivity
that the Dodgers will win. Here's my problem. The Yankees
(16:31):
also blue, different blue, different blue. But what if your
groomer gets the die wrong and it turns out to
be a darker blue dark and then you've got a
Yankees dog.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, and if you're a Yankees fan, you could pinstripe
your dog. Stop with the do let your dog exist, don't.
Don't paint your dog. Don't paint your dogs. Yeah, you're
an idiot. If you take your dog to a groomer,
you're you're doing blue, idiot. Their dogs should be taken
away from you.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They're doing paws, ears and tails dipped and dodger blue.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Don't do any of those. I'm gonna dip your tail on.
The groomers insist it's all non toxic. I don't care.
How did your dog's date go yesterday? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He loved it, really, Yes, he loved it. As a
friend of the family also has a Scottish Terrier.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
He loved it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, how did he react very Has he met another
Scottish Terrier aside from his litter litter?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, No, this was the first one. Have you exposed
him to other dogs that don't look like Kim?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, I mean there's a neighbor's got a big labor
dummy or whatever it's called, and there's other dogs in
the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
So yeah, he's been around.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I just don't want it to be a racist dog
that only will only hang out with dogs that look
like him.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, I don't think he's that. I don't think so.
Speaking of animals. There's an animal rights group trying to
release elephants from a zoo in Colorado, Missy Kimba, Lucky, Lulu,
and Jombo.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Why do I get that? Why do I get these ads?
What is that? Those are male underwear in genitale? Yeah? Seriously? Yeah?
Should I click on it?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh, that's a great idea, and then wonder why you
get those ads?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Colorado's highest court is hearing arguments data on whether these
African female elephants should be legally able to change their challenge.
I should say their captivity under the long held process
used by prisoners to dispute their detention.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Forty dollars for that. That's what you see when I
show you this? Well, what am I going to look at?
What else do you want me to comment on? Stop it?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Former Riverside private school counselor has admitted to placing hidden
cameras in campus bathrooms to capture young boys using the
toilet and using the shower. This thirty four year old
guy was a school counselor at La Sierra Academy. It's
a Seventh Day Adventist private school there in Riverside and
the alleged activities occurred from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
(19:13):
They arrested him in March of twenty twenty after authority
searched his home office and found multiple videos.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Now they say that parents were reluctant to sue.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Why, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Families of the victims settled a civil negligent suit against
the Southeastern Conference of Seventh Day Adventists and Losier Academy
for an undisclosed amount, according to the plaintiff's attorney. Although
there were more victims, he said, only a handful of
families were willing to pursue civil litigation against the church.
I guess it's because it's a church, right. It doesn't
(19:59):
make I think that some people are not going to
sue the church their own church, right. I mean, I
can kind of understand that, just get rid of the
bad seed. It seems like that might be some bad
karma with you know, Jesus.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, But well, I guess I just what.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Is the Seventh Day event? What is that brand of God? Seventh?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
They did settle, like you said, the civil negligence suit.
Johnson was released on bail in twenty twenty one charges
against him, weren't filed with the state because of the pandemic,
because of what they said was a pandemic related oversight,
and he moved to Texas during that time. He has
a wife, a daughter said during an arraignment in Houston
that he moved because of widespread news coverage of the
(20:50):
case and his wife's new job at a Texas university.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So they observe Saturday as a sabbath. But they're called
the Seventh Day Adventist. It's interesting they do believe in
the Second Coming that Jesus Christ will soon return to earth.
Doesn't every religion believe Jesus is coming back at some point, Well,
they believe it's sooner rather religion. No, I mean right, Christianity, Yeah,
(21:16):
I meant yeah, all Christian faiths.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
The argument would be with the words sooner rather than later, right, Like.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
There's a difference if you think he's going to be
here next Tuesday as opposed to at the end of days,
which might be Tuesday, which might be Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
How do you know? It says they're in the book
that you will not know. Really. Yeah, So there's no
locusts or anything.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well, I suppose there could be, but Does the locusts
signify the last thousand years or does it last thousand minutes?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Good point, So there's room wiggle room in there. Well
wiggle room is yeah, that'd be a way to put it. Sure,
I mean, what are you How are you going to
change what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think what's done is done right?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like what you can't just say three our Fathers and
two Hail Mary's and make everything go away?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Can you? But what you can?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I'm a Catholic policism yes boom, but that's not the whole.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Someone get me a rosary? Do you need the rosary
to do? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, well you know, I mean it would be nice
to say the whole rosary just for just to be
clear that I'm committed to the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Boxes is what you're doing. You're checking the boxes.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
That's not what we believe in my faith. We believe
that forgiousness is one of Jesuits'.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Tenants and then one of his principles. And then you just.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Said that you're going to say these things and then
every father, Hail Mary check the boxes mysteries of the faith.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
So you've just checked the box. What the third prayer
is Our Father Hail Mary and h thirty three dive left.
That's funny, very good. Oh the Apostles creed, Oh okay
(23:15):
that one.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And there's the Glory b too. I think that's on
the little you know, the little beads in the middle there.
So if anybody's looking for salvation, you find it with
the Rosary if you're a Catholic, and then you'll be
ready for Tuesday. I guess I feel like there should
(23:37):
be more to it than that, but no, I think
that's the gist of it. Like we're all going to sin.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
We're human.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven through the.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Rosary, through the Rosary. Yes, no, all right, now we're
just going to make people mad.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Up next reasons to make people mad? Let's talk politics? Oh,
what could go wrong? Let's go back to the book.
Speaker 2 (24:06):

I just roll the dice, Eh, It's worth the risk.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We've talked for a couple of weeks now, probably a
couple of months about this Eric and Lyle Menendez story
where there are some criminal justice warriors maybe who think
that Eric and Lyilemanindez should not be in prison for
the rest of their lives for murdering their parents back
when they were eighteen and twenty one years old.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Somebody has really sold everybody on the whole they were
molested narrative. What they don't talk about is how very
rare it is. First of all, that they were doing
their homework on how to get away with murder leading
up to them slaughtering their parents with shotguns, reloading, by
the way, when mom wouldn't die quick enough, going out
(01:39):
to the car, getting more shells, coming back, reloading the
shotgun and taking aim at your mother again, who was
not molesting you, they said, just to put her out
of her misery.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Right, okay, But let's go back.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And all the evidence, by the way, that they were spoiled,
money hungry teenagers eighteen and twenty one whose father was
cutting them off. In the process of cutting them off
because they had made messes of their lives, they were
acting like the spoiled brats they were, so they were
being threatened with being cut off from any sort of money,
and that was not going to be okay for their lifestyle,
(02:15):
so that's why they killed their parents. Then they came
up with this narrative with the help of Leslie Abramson,
the attorney, the defense attorney, who is known for fabricating
evidence that they were being molested. Everybody on TikTok and
who is arguing for these people is failing to understand
the truth. How rare it is for a father to
(02:36):
molest his kids. It is infinitisimal. How often that happens.
It doesn't happen. Fathers don't molest their sons.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The appeals that we've seen in the recent days have
rested on two aspects of just that right there, that
the father was molesting the son. One of those pieces
was supposedly that he was also so molesting a member
of Menudo, one of the boy band Menudo. And then
this letter that came out that Eric reportedly wrote to
his cousin, which surfaced in twenty fifteen, many many years
(03:12):
after the day.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Where did it come from? Was it lying in a
drawer somewhere?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Why didn't it materialize at the trials in the nineties.
Why didn't we have this letter? How did it just
come out of nowhere? Something else about molesters. They don't
molest for years. They don't molest a kid from the
time he's six to the time he's sixteen. Molesters have
a specific age range that they molest in, whether kids,
(03:42):
you know, five to seven or seven to nine.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's gross, but molesters.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Do believe in you aging out of their predilection.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The brother of Kitty Menendez, that's mom, the brother Milton,
has an attorney and says that the attorney says, in
the last few days have received information from several different
sources that the letter is essentially a fraud. The attorney's name,
by the way, Kathleen Katie. She says, these sources claim
they have evidence that would seem to cast doubt on
(04:12):
the veracity of this new evidence, this letter that the
defense has submitted in their habeas petition, and neither mentioned
the letter. Eric Mendez and his cousin both testified about
the abuse that Dad supposedly perpetrated, but neither one of
them mentioned the letter.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
George Gascone is fighting a losing battle trying to retain
his seat as DA, a job he never had any
business doing, and he hasn't really done it at all all.
He's done is hijack the DA's office. George Gascone is
desperately trying to cling to this seat, and he sees
or somebody next to him, somebody at his right hand,
(04:51):
sees all of the fervor going on on TikTok about
Lyle and Aaron Eric Menendez, and thinks he can do
something about it. So he is throwing up the hail Mary,
scheduling this news conference at one thirty to announce his
decision on whether he's going to go to a judge
and recommend that life without Parole is moved off the table.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
In that case, it would go to the parole board.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't even know if it would get that far
because here in California, we don't believe in law and order,
and we have something called elder parole.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
If you're fifty years or older, you get out.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
If you've served twenty years, no matter what your sentence was,
so they would be immediately released. Now I'll tell you
what's going to happen. At one point thirty, George Gascona
is going to announce just that, because he wouldn't hold
a press conference if he wasn't going to exactly Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
That's the we're all held hostage.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The DA's office has bigger fish to fry than this, right,
But he's doing it because, oh, look at the calendar.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He's got twelve days before electure right now. He wants
all the tiktoker's votes. And he realizes that he's being
out fund raised.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Is that a word?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Something like ten to one, eleven to one right now
by Nathan Hoffman who's running against him and absolutely trouncing
him in the polls.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh, he's trying to do something, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
The Kevin da Leone story got a little interesting, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
When I heard this, and I should always go with
my gut, I thought to myself, I feel like this
was a plant, Like I feel like Kevin dal Leone
had something to do with this. I know John has
endorsed him in the afternoon. It's very odd to me.
It's cognitive dissonance. I cannot endorse Kevin Dalion, Like every
part of my being is like grossed out by that
(06:38):
guy and always has been. And I understand the opponent
wants to defund the police, and I understand that he
does not, and that's important. But I don't think in
Los Angeles the police will be defunded. I don't see
that as a reality, and I cannot. I would not
be able to cast a vote for that guy.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm not familiar with all of Kanye's work, but went
the police. That's sad. You know, we buy way out
of jail, but we can't buy freedom.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay, that is apparently the lyric that isabell Eurrado was
trying to relay when she was asked a question in
a forum. I suppose it's a cal State L a.
This was the question once again, we played it for
you on Monday.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
As someone who's myself pro abolishment of police, where do
you stand on that spectrum? And also, what do you
think about Capnillion's uh discretionary fund spending on overtime for police?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah? What's the wrappers the police? That's when I see
him and reach against the machine. Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
He has confirmed Kevin dal Leone that that is one
of his staffers. Martin Perez is one of his staffers.
The Cal State l student who posed the question. They
have not yet said who made the recording. Well, who
else would it be?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I guess Martin Perez handles constituent services in his offices.
He did commend Kevin de Leone commended his aide, saying
that Eurato had been sidestepping questions about police abolition. Now,
what I don't quite understand is is Kevin dalone admitting
that this was a gotcha question that his staffer posed,
(08:33):
or does his staffer believe in the abolition of the police.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, much like in Kevin dal Lyone's own secret recording scandal, yes,
where he compared the black adopted son of a white
colleague as an accessory like a designer handbag. It's not
how the recording was made or who made the recording,
(08:58):
it's what was said.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
That is problematic.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
The fact that she said that at all is problematic, right,
the fact that he said that it all is problematic.
I kind of don't care who made the recording or
how it worked, but it does smell now that you know.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That it was one of his staffers.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Did he go in there with marching orders, Hey, get
her to say something stupid and roll on it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, okay, dally Oone's description of it is they've been
asking during five consecutive debates why she wants to abolish
the police, and he said she confirmed it with a
very vulgar and crude f the police.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yes, but.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That's not why she wants to abolish the police. I mean,
I don't know if there's more to the recording because
it cuts off there.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
But the other thing.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Is she described this whole thing. It was just a
lyric she said from a rap song. Well that's a
loaded lyric. That's a pretty loaded statement, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
We playing about the candidates for president not being our
favorite options. That's a real stinker that I wouldn't be
able to vote for either one of them. Well, I'm
glad I don't have to. You're not in the fourteenth.
I am not not in the fight in fourteenth?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Is that right? I don't know. I want a grenade launcher.
That's probably not a great idea. Do you try to
use it on a squirreldw Yeah, you're damn right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I would be like Caddyshack all over again. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Let's see, prosecutors are going to announce whether or not
they want to recommend that Eric Lylemanendez be re sentenced
for the killings of their parents back in nineteen eighty nine.
Sentenced to life in prison without parole, George Gascow in
the DA scheduled this news conference for one thirty today.
We're all on the edge of our seat to see
what he's going to say. We are not we know
what he's going to say. There's a study. I make this.
(10:57):
I use this.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Analogy. I don't know if that's the right word for it,
but whenever.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
There's a study, I always say, Yeah, there's always a
say coffee is good for you, and the next day
coffee is bad for you. So who cares about all
these studies that say what's good and bad. Well, now
there's a study that say coffee is bad for you,
that it may be harming your hearing because caffeine blocks
a dentisine making it harder for your ears to recover
from daily noise exposure, which can lead to permanent hearing
(11:26):
loss over time. Higher coffee consumption linked to an increased
risk of both speech frequency and high frequency hearing loss.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I'm trying to make a joke and I can't trying
to think of something that would be funny to say,
what see, you just did it.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's very funny.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Hey, Ganarian, don't worry about the TV nerds and the
dragon dorks about your mispronunciation. It's all good I keep
doing what you do. I love you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
That goes for you too.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Snarian.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I like that, Shnarian. Maybe that's what we should name
your baby, Jacob.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
That's a baby named Shenarian. Well shut out to me.
Yes yesterday we told you about.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The LA Times, the unusual move that they made to
not endorse a candidate for president this time around, and
the head of the editorial board stepped down yesterday. Mary
el Garza held the title as editorial's editor, says she
quit because she wants to make it clear that she's
not okay with being silent. She said, us being silent
(12:40):
at the LA Times, she said, in dangerous times, honest
people need to stand up. This is how I'm standing up.
She said that the editorial board at the LA Times
did plan to endorse Vice President Harris, but that the
owner of the La Times, doctor Patrick Soon Shong, decided
this month the newspaper wasn't going to make any endorsement
for press. The paper did not explain why they weren't
(13:02):
issuing an endorsement, and then doctor Sun Schong took to
Twitter and explained why they didn't do an endorsement this year,
reading from his tweet form me yesterday.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Let me clarify how this decision came about.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a
factual analysis of all the positive and negative policies by
each candidate during their tenures at the White House and
how these policies affected the nation. In addition, the board
was asked to provide their understanding of the policies and
plans enunciated by the candidates during this campaign and the
potential effect on the nation in the next four years.
(13:41):
In this way, with this clear and non partisan information
side by side, our readers could decide who would be
worthy of being president for the next four years.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I'm con he said.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board
chose to remain silent, and I accepted their decision.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And then he writes, please vote.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm conflicted about this story, and my opinion means nothing,
so I can be conflicted.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But part of me my initial thing was how.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Self righteous, how uppity, and like, well, I'm stepping down,
you know. But on the other hand, how many times
do we say when we see a protest or something,
to actually protest something, you have to sacrifice something got.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
To have some skin in the game. She does. Yeah,
so that's kind of why I'm conflicted here.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And not that she won't find another job. She'll work somewhere.
She gave an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review. Maybe
that's where she goes next. Who knows. But this is
one of those things where there's an expectation that we
have newspapers that do political endorsements like this. That's not
(14:48):
to say that it's a requirement. It's definitely not a
requirement legally or anything. I mean, it's just kind of
a tradition that they've been doing. There was also a
time when The Times did not get involved with political endorsements,
at least not on the presidential level. It wasn't until
two thousand and four. They took a lot of time
off and I think the seventies and eighties and didn't
(15:09):
do anything. In two thousand and four they endorsed George W. Bush,
and then since two thousand and eight they've endorsed Democrats
each time, and then of course this is the year
that they've they're not doing an endorsement. The responses to this,
by the way, are pretty interesting. Elon Musk wrote In
response to what doctor Sun Scheong wrote, all he wrote
(15:31):
was makes sense. Keith Olberman, on the other hand, wrote,
you're a useless and spineless horse. Sell the paper, leave
the country. Wow, I don't think it's about the paper.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Dah, when did.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
That?
Speaker 3 (15:50):
And then and that's okay. You can findless horror.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You get to scream out something ridiculous like that, and
that's an okay thing.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And you wouldn't say that to someone's face too. That's
the other thing about Twitter.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He might.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I don't know what he's doing lately, yelling at people.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And it's clearly angry about something. And it's not the
La Times, not the milk, it's not the milk. Dyeing
your dogs Apparently groomers are reporting that people are flocking
to their shops to dye their dogs paws or positivity
that the Dodgers will win. Here's my problem. The Yankees
(16:31):
also blue, different blue, different blue. But what if your
groomer gets the die wrong and it turns out to
be a darker blue dark and then you've got a
Yankees dog.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, and if you're a Yankees fan, you could pinstripe
your dog. Stop with the do let your dog exist, don't.
Don't paint your dog. Don't paint your dogs. Yeah, you're
an idiot. If you take your dog to a groomer,
you're you're doing blue, idiot. Their dogs should be taken
away from you.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
They're doing paws, ears and tails dipped and dodger blue.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Don't do any of those. I'm gonna dip your tail on.
The groomers insist it's all non toxic. I don't care.
How did your dog's date go yesterday? Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He loved it, really, Yes, he loved it. As a
friend of the family also has a Scottish Terrier.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
He loved it.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, how did he react very Has he met another
Scottish Terrier aside from his litter litter?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
No, No, this was the first one. Have you exposed
him to other dogs that don't look like Kim?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, I mean there's a neighbor's got a big labor
dummy or whatever it's called, and there's other dogs in
the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
So yeah, he's been around.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I just don't want it to be a racist dog
that only will only hang out with dogs that look
like him.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, I don't think he's that. I don't think so.
Speaking of animals. There's an animal rights group trying to
release elephants from a zoo in Colorado, Missy Kimba, Lucky, Lulu,
and Jombo.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Why do I get that? Why do I get these ads?
What is that? Those are male underwear in genitale? Yeah? Seriously? Yeah?
Should I click on it?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh, that's a great idea, and then wonder why you
get those ads?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Colorado's highest court is hearing arguments data on whether these
African female elephants should be legally able to change their challenge.
I should say their captivity under the long held process
used by prisoners to dispute their detention.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Forty dollars for that. That's what you see when I
show you this? Well, what am I going to look at?
What else do you want me to comment on? Stop it?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Former Riverside private school counselor has admitted to placing hidden
cameras in campus bathrooms to capture young boys using the
toilet and using the shower. This thirty four year old
guy was a school counselor at La Sierra Academy. It's
a Seventh Day Adventist private school there in Riverside and
the alleged activities occurred from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
(19:13):
They arrested him in March of twenty twenty after authority
searched his home office and found multiple videos.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Now they say that parents were reluctant to sue.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Why, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Families of the victims settled a civil negligent suit against
the Southeastern Conference of Seventh Day Adventists and Losier Academy
for an undisclosed amount, according to the plaintiff's attorney. Although
there were more victims, he said, only a handful of
families were willing to pursue civil litigation against the church.
I guess it's because it's a church, right. It doesn't
(19:59):
make I think that some people are not going to
sue the church their own church, right. I mean, I
can kind of understand that, just get rid of the
bad seed. It seems like that might be some bad
karma with you know, Jesus.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah, But well, I guess I just what.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Is the Seventh Day event? What is that brand of God? Seventh?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
They did settle, like you said, the civil negligence suit.
Johnson was released on bail in twenty twenty one charges
against him, weren't filed with the state because of the pandemic,
because of what they said was a pandemic related oversight,
and he moved to Texas during that time. He has
a wife, a daughter said during an arraignment in Houston
that he moved because of widespread news coverage of the
(20:50):
case and his wife's new job at a Texas university.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So they observe Saturday as a sabbath. But they're called
the Seventh Day Adventist. It's interesting they do believe in
the Second Coming that Jesus Christ will soon return to earth.
Doesn't every religion believe Jesus is coming back at some point, Well,
they believe it's sooner rather religion. No, I mean right, Christianity, Yeah,
(21:16):
I meant yeah, all Christian faiths.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
The argument would be with the words sooner rather than later, right, Like.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
There's a difference if you think he's going to be
here next Tuesday as opposed to at the end of days,
which might be Tuesday, which might be Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
How do you know? It says they're in the book
that you will not know. Really. Yeah, So there's no
locusts or anything.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well, I suppose there could be, but Does the locusts
signify the last thousand years or does it last thousand minutes?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Good point, So there's room wiggle room in there. Well
wiggle room is yeah, that'd be a way to put it. Sure,
I mean, what are you How are you going to
change what you're doing?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I think what's done is done right?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like what you can't just say three our Fathers and
two Hail Mary's and make everything go away?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Can you? But what you can?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I'm a Catholic policism yes boom, but that's not the whole.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Someone get me a rosary? Do you need the rosary
to do? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, well you know, I mean it would be nice
to say the whole rosary just for just to be
clear that I'm committed to the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Boxes is what you're doing. You're checking the boxes.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
That's not what we believe in my faith. We believe
that forgiousness is one of Jesuits'.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Tenants and then one of his principles. And then you just.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Said that you're going to say these things and then
every father, Hail Mary check the boxes mysteries of the faith.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
So you've just checked the box. What the third prayer
is Our Father Hail Mary and h thirty three dive left.
That's funny, very good. Oh the Apostles creed, Oh okay
(23:15):
that one.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And there's the Glory b too. I think that's on
the little you know, the little beads in the middle there.
So if anybody's looking for salvation, you find it with
the Rosary if you're a Catholic, and then you'll be
ready for Tuesday. I guess I feel like there should
(23:37):
be more to it than that, but no, I think
that's the gist of it. Like we're all going to sin.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
We're human.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven through the.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Rosary, through the Rosary. Yes, no, all right, now we're
just going to make people mad.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Up next reasons to make people mad? Let's talk politics? Oh,
what could go wrong? Let's go back to the book.
